Chapter 383: Chapter 294: Catching Two Criminals_3

The couple, even if their relationship wasn’t always strong, still had moments where they would discuss private matters in confidence.

After more than twenty years of marriage, they knew each other inside out and were well aware of each other’s true nature.

For a time, the office was filled with nothing but the sounds of the two exposing each other’s shortcomings.

Even Jiang Ning and Ge Dagen were ignored by them.

Jiang Ning quietly walked to one side and pulled the already ajar door open a little wider.

Qi Xingzhou stood upright outside the door. As Jiang Ning opened it, their eyes met instantly.

His eyes, drooping low with sober clarity, moved, and his concentrated gaze suddenly settled on Jiang Ning with a hint of joy.

Jiang Ning made a shushing gesture to Qi Xingzhou, who nodded in response. The joyful light in his eyes stuck to Jiang Ning as if it couldn’t be torn away, reflecting her image in his dark pupils. He pursed his lips with a bit of sneaky pleasure, as if he had seen his favorite treasure.

Standing behind Qi Xingzhou were the police officers who had accompanied him.

When Qi Xingzhou had called the police, he had already informed them of the criminal’s wrongdoings and shown them the live-stream video that Jiang Ning had just broadcast.

In fact, even if Qi Xingzhou hadn’t shown them the video, these officers already had a rough idea of what Chen Deshuang had done.

It wasn’t for any other reason than the fact that Jiang Ning’s live-stream had been incredibly popular online!

While Jiang Ning was live-streaming, although the netizens couldn’t guess her location, the video clips shared by the media allowed some netizens to spot something:

[I know this place! This is Pingnan Third People’s Hospital! I’ve been there before!]

[That’s right! I recognize it too! I’ve only seen such a large banyan tree at the Pingnan Third People’s Hospital! It’s right by the wall, in a very secluded corner!]

[Jiang Ning’s live-streaming location is definitely the Pingnan Third People’s Hospital, no doubt about it!]

After recognizing the location, many netizens began to tag the Wangjiang Police online: @Wangjiang Police, there’s a bad guy on your turf! Aren’t you going to do something about it?

Some enthusiastic netizens even called 110 to report the situation for Jiang Ning, urging the police to hurry over to ensure Jiang Ning wasn’t harmed.

While Qi Xingzhou was making the emergency call, these officers just happened to be discussing this issue, and without a second thought, they set out immediately after hearing the nature of Qi Xingzhou’s call.

The door was not fully closed, so not only did Qi Xingzhou outside hear the commotion, but the other officers beside him also caught the conversation inside.

However, while the officers listened intently, the person standing closest to the door outside seemed oblivious to the noise in the room.

He lowered his head slightly, his eyes serene, with all his attention focused on Jiang Ning.

Qi Xingzhou couldn’t help but push the door wider open.

A little wider.

And even wider.

Seeing that there was enough room for him to enter alone, Qi Xingzhou stealthily stepped one foot inside.

Jiang Ning noticed his movement from the corner of her eye but didn’t stop him.

After all, the game of exposing secrets between Chen Deshuang and Yuan Zhengjuan was almost over.

Qi Xingzhou, being tall, inevitably attracted attention when entering the confined consultation room, regardless of how quietly he moved.

Yuan Zhengjuan noticed him come in and said angrily, "Who let you in, get out!"

Jiang Ning, previously in a spectator state, immediately turned cold and said, "Madam Yuan, it’s time for you to leave now!"

As she finished speaking, Jiang Ning fully opened the half-closed door.

Several police officers with straight postures stood at the door, looking emotionless at Yuan Zhengjuan and Chen Deshuang.

Neither Yuan Zhengjuan nor Chen Deshuang expected such a scene.

When did the police get in!

How come they hadn’t noticed a thing!

The officers stepped inside, their sharp gazes turning toward the pair.

Yuan Zhengjuan trembled with fear and slumped to the ground.

Chen Deshuang, equally startled by the turn of events, shook with fear, uncertain where to hide.

Attempting to flee was futile with another officer guarding the door.

A few minutes later, both were wearing shiny new handcuffs.

Chen Deshuang and Yuan Zhengjuan, who had been arguing incessantly, suddenly seemed to awaken from a dream, looking at Jiang Ning with fright.

If Jiang Ning hadn’t appeared out of the blue, exposing their secret deeds, they would never have become so emotionally unraveled, betraying each other’s secrets!

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host, for capturing the criminals Chen Deshuang and Yuan Zhengjuan, you are rewarded with 30 days of life value and 150 Merit Points!]
