Chapter 397: Chapter 308: Answer Correctly, Reward with Two Silver Bracelets

Jiang Ning turned around and, upon seeing Yuan Zhenyang’s actions, her eyes flashed briefly, but she didn’t stop him.

Only a fool would refuse the evidence and leverage handed to them on a silver platter.

Yuan Zhenyang stood up and walked to the back of a row of bookshelves.

When Jiang Ning had first entered, she had noticed that this was not Yuan Su’s office, but rather the office of the deputy dean.

Yuan Zhenyang squatted beside the bookshelf, his movements practiced as he felt around the side of the shelf; Jiang Ning shifted her position slightly so that her phone’s camera could capture Yuan Zhenyang’s actions.

This movement of hers was mistakenly interpreted by Zhang Yonghao, who was nearby, as Jiang Ning being very concerned about Yuan Zhenyang’s actions.

On the surface, Zhang Yonghao remained expressionless, but inside, he sneered. He thought that Jiang Ning was just like everyone else, hypocritical to the core, pretending to be so righteous just moments before, and yet, unable to resist the temptation of money.

The popularity of the live stream was rising rapidly. In the short time since Jiang Ning began broadcasting, the number of online viewers quickly surpassed one hundred thousand.

The comments in the live stream were flooding in:

[Oh my god! A safe!]

[I saw it, I saw it, hidden so well, there’s definitely a lot of money inside!]

[Wow, is this what a bribery scene looks like?]

[Jiang Ning is really bold, as far as I know, she’s the only one who dares to live stream this kind of thing, right?]

[That’s right! Who else would dare to live stream something like this? Even if they don’t accept bribes, they wouldn’t expose it. Nowadays, social circles are like spider webs; who can guarantee they won’t need to seek help from others one day? Jiang Ning is truly brave; I can feel her unwavering determination on the path of anti-corruption.]

[Exactly, with this kind of exposure, those with ulterior motives definitely won’t dare to approach Jiang Ning anymore. Plus, they might even try to trip her up in secret.]

[Front row, protect our Jiang Ning! Don’t believe any of the negative rumors or so-called insider exposés about Jiang Ning that might appear online soon!]

[Got it, got it; who doesn’t surf on 5G? We all know those marketing tricks by now.]

As the safe was opened and Yuan Zhenyang began taking things out, the comments reached another new peak.

Rows of glittering gold bars appeared before the three of them, and also before the viewers in the live stream.

[Damn! Poverty has limited my imagination; I thought he would take out a stack of money, but instead... Slurp, gold bars???!!!]

[Ah, you don’t even see this many gold bars at a jewelry store, how much does he have?!]

[The current price of gold bars is around 400 per gram; I wonder if it’s worth five hundred thousand or a million. If it’s worth a million... that’s literally five kilograms?!!!]

[This is insane, who could resist this kind of test; I wonder if Jiang Ning has any regrets]

"Here, these gold bars, a full five kilograms. According to the market value, that’s at least a million," Yuan Zhenyang said as he placed the gold bars on the coffee table, along with the safe.

Holding the keys in his hand, he said to Jiang Ning, "As long as you take care of those two things I mentioned earlier, all of this is yours."

[!!!!]

[I knew it, actual gold bars worth a million!]

[A deputy dean? He just casually takes out a million worth of gold bars from his office; surely that’s not everything in his office, right? Or perhaps, how many times has he performed this act in this office, unbeknownst to us, with others? It’s truly not the case that everyone can do as Jiang Ning does, it’s utterly horrifying to consider.]

[Seeing how adept he is at offering bribes, anyone could guess with their toes that this isn’t his first time.]

[Oh my God, this is a hospital meant to save lives and heal the sick... I can’t imagine what it must be like inside with such a leader, how rotten it must have gotten.]

[...]

Zhang Yonghao also hadn’t expected that Yuan Zhenyang could actually take out bars of gold worth a million from his office.

He stared at those gold bars without blinking an eye.

Although he had just followed suit and claimed he’d give Jiang Ning half a million, he didn’t actually have half a million in liquid assets and would need to think of a way to obtain it—indeed, the old ginger is spicier.

"Are these all for me?" Jiang Ning stepped forward, looked down at the box of gold bars, and even touched them, seemingly to confirm something.

"Yes, they’re all yours," Yuan Zhenyang nodded.

He thought Jiang Ning had fallen into the bribery trap, and his heart became even more convinced that he had misjudged her before.

She is not smart at all, simply a petty person dazzled by money.

However, Yuan Zhenyang preferred dealing with this kind of person the most; it’s those who genuinely don’t covet money that bother him.

Watching Jiang Ning tenderly touch the gold bars as if they were precious treasures, Yuan Zhenyang’s expression became even more relaxed, "You can rest assured, these gold bars were exchanged at the bank, and each has a mark and stamp beneath it. Regarding their authenticity, you can be at ease, feel free to have them appraised at any institution or gold shop."

"As long as they’re real, then I can relax," Jiang Ning nodded and then picked up her phone.

She aimed the camera at the box of gold bars in front of her and said to the audience in the live stream, "Do you see this, so many gold bars, I’ve been offered a bribe, have you called the police yet? Hurry up, here’s the evidence."

[Ahhhhh! Although I can’t see Jiang Ning holding the phone and talking right now, I can imagine it—she must look so cool!]

[Oh my goodness! I’ve never felt that Jiang Ning’s voice is so charming; faced with these entire five jin of gold bars, she’s really not tempted at all!?]

[We’ve called the police, we’ve called the police! The Wangjiang Police are already on their way, Jiang Jiang, you must be careful! Take good care of yourself!]

[@Wangjiang Police, hurry, hurry! Go catch the bad guys!!!]

[...]

At the moment Jiang Ning picked up her phone to speak, Yuan Zhenyang’s and Zhang Yonghao’s expressions froze, and it seemed their brains couldn’t quite catch up.

Who is Jiang Ning talking to?

It doesn’t seem like she’s talking to them?

Zhang Yonghao suddenly thought of something, his expression showing a faint panic, and even his tone of speech seemed somewhat uncontrollable as he shouted, "Who are you talking to?"

"What do you think?" Jiang Ning stood next to the safe, her head raised, one hand holding the phone, and the other resting on the gold bars, her fair and beautiful face calm.

Zhang Yonghao asked with a hint of fear, "You’re live-streaming?!"

"Smart, congratulations, you got it right," Jiang Ning nodded, with a faint smile emerging in her eyes, "As a reward, each of you will get a pair of silver bracelets."

[Hahahaha, the expressions on their faces are so satisfying]

[Hahaha, you didn’t expect that, did you? We’ve all become witnesses now!]

[I’m dying of laughter, the shocked look in Zhang Yonghao’s and Yuan Zhenyang’s eyes, these two rancid scumbags, did you really think everyone in the world is like you?]
