Chapter 583: Chapter 487: Overwhelmed Popularity

After dinner, Jiang Ning didn’t rush to leave immediately.

She was still preoccupied with the incident from the morning involving Liu Yaoyao’s attempted suicide.

Although Liu Yaoyao was saved, the beast that ruined her life was still at large.

Jiang Ning remembered that there seemed to be police officers who went to the hospital to make a record. However, she didn’t know the current situation of her and her mother.

Jiang Ning unlocked her phone, only then remembering that she had only given Liu Yaoyao her own phone number and didn’t know how to contact Liu Yaoyao.

Jiang Ning pulled up the System’s interface, and Liu Chusheng’s identity information was still clearly displayed on the list of pending tasks, indicating that the police hadn’t yet arrested him.

It could be that Liu Yaoyao hadn’t told the police about her experiences, or it could be for other reasons.

Jiang Ning thought for a while and then opened Douyin, typing in a few keywords: Capital City, fifteen-year-old girl, suicide attempt.

Soon, videos related to today’s incident of Liu Yaoyao’s attempted suicide were the search result, likely posted by some onlookers who had recorded it on their phones.

In addition, several entertainment media accounts had also shared it.

However, comparing the popularity of this issue with previous ones, Jiang Ning noticed that it was not receiving much attention from netizens.

The most popular video only had about fifty or sixty thousand likes.

Jiang Ning scrolled through the comments:

[Oh my god, I’m glad she was pulled back up. She’s only fifteen, such a tender age.]

[You mustn’t act impulsively in the face of trouble, sometimes emotions can overwhelm you in an instant. As long as you get through it, it’ll be okay.]

[What’s wrong with kids these days? Why do they resort to suicide threats so easily? Are they really so lacking in resilience? Think about our childhoods, no matter how adults scolded or beat us, we never bore a grudge and just kept on eating and drinking happily.]

[Is nobody paying attention to those two Lizard Men? Looking at their clothes, they don’t seem like fire rescue personnel. If they’re just Good Samaritans, that’s incredibly impressive!]

[Right, right, I wanted to say that too. That was the fifth floor! And it looked like they climbed up with their bare hands. The girl’s family really should thank these two kind-hearted passersby!]

[...]

[Weird, why was my comment deleted? I didn’t say anything inappropriate, did I?]

[This is so absurd, I clearly liked this video just before, why does it now show that I didn’t like it? If I hadn’t specifically gone back through my browsing history, I wouldn’t have been able to find this video at all!]

[I clearly saw this topic on the local hot search list just now, but it disappeared in a moment. Shouldn’t such an incident shoot straight to number one on the popularity charts?]

[Haha, I saw that Nancheng News has already deleted videos related to this incident, it’s clear to see, there’s something fishy going on.]

...

Sometimes, you should never underestimate netizens. As individuals who often soar through the internet, they’ve seen all kinds of monsters and demons; they know almost instantly when media accounts are up to something.

However, this generation of netizens still wasn’t sharp enough to recognize that the two Lizard Men were Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou.

Of course, that wasn’t their fault. These videos only captured the backs of Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou as they climbed up to the fifth floor, the resolution was blurry, and because of the height, everyone could only see two vague figures. It was extremely difficult to make out the appearances of the two people.

Otherwise, if the name Jiang Ning had been associated with the traffic, this event would have gone viral online a long time ago.

From the netizens’ comments, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but learn another piece of information.

Someone was suppressing the popularity of the Liu Yaoyao suicide attempt on the internet, seemingly not wanting the incident to be widely exposed to the public, and the person doing this was apparent: Liu Chusheng!
