Even After My Death-Chapter 618 - 522: Jiang Ning Live Captures the Financier of the Internet Troll Army 3

Chapter 618: Chapter 522: Jiang Ning Live Captures the Financier of the Internet Troll Army 3

Miao Bin’s train of thought was easy to guess; since Jiang Ning said this was a lie detector, if he stayed silent, they couldn’t possibly say he was lying, right?

Jiang Ning didn’t get angry when he didn’t respond to her, but instead smiled and spoke, "Not talking? Fine. Do you want to guess how I managed to find this place? Do you really think we just happened to stroll here after a meal?"

"If you confess in front of the police now, it counts as a voluntary admission of your wrongdoing. If you only admit to what you’ve done after I produce evidence of your transactions with the chatroom water army, then things will not be as simple as they are now."

Jiang Ning openly smiled while issuing a threat, "What do you think?"

[Hahaha! It seems like she’s giving him a choice, but she’s not!]

[Hurry up and come clean. Why did you hire the chatroom water army to smear our Jiang Jiang!]

[This guy looks quite good-looking, and his skin is fair, but who would have thought he would be someone who plays dirty tricks behind the scenes. Moreover, it looks like he doesn’t know Jiang Ning. Why did he pay for the chatroom water army?]

[If he had a grudge against Jiang Ning and intentionally hired the water army to smear her, it would make some sense. But it’s clear he doesn’t know her, so what’s his motive for doing this...]

The audience in the live streaming room pointed fingers and made comments about Miao Bin.

Although Miao Bin still had not admitted to hiring the chatroom water army, anyone with clear eyes could see that between him and Jiang Ning, it was Miao Bin who was lacking confidence and feeling panicked and guilty.

Miao Bin bowed his head, now truly panicked.

He didn’t know what to do.

He had impulsively spent money on the water army when he saw several guys in the group talking about it and had rushed along with them to do the same.

Even now, he couldn’t understand why Jiang Ning had managed to find him.

Miao Bin clenched his teeth, partly thinking Jiang Ning couldn’t be all that divine, and partly afraid that she really had other evidence in her hands.

Those who have done wrong always feel guilty.

While Miao Bin was struggling with how to deal with the situation, a middle-aged couple rushed over from home.

A kindly neighbor had just gone back to inform them, saying their son was in trouble, had been caught, and that they should hurry over to check.

Upon hearing the news, the couple quickly put down what they were holding and ran over.

By this time, a crowd had gathered around Jiang Ning and Miao Bin, who were the center of attention.

"Miao Bin! You child! What has happened?" Miao Bin’s mother asked anxiously.

And it was her voice that drew the attention of many to her.

Perhaps sensing something from the anxious expressions of the couple, the onlookers made way for them.

"Dad... Mom..." On seeing them, the composure that had been on Miao Bin’s face instantly changed, "Why are you here?"

Miao Bin’s mother, Ru Meilan, looked at her wholly intact son and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Whereas Miao Bin’s father, Miao Hai, after giving his son a quick glance, his gaze fell on the uniformed Zhang Lang and his colleague and spoke with a very humble tone, "Officers, has my son... done something wrong?"

"You shouldn’t be asking me; I’ve just arrived. If you have questions, you should ask the parties involved," Zhang Lang responded.

Miao Hai and Ru Meilan, almost without hesitation, fixed their gaze straight onto Qi Xingzhou and Jiang Ning.

Clearly, the couple had already realized that the young people in front of them were the ones in conflict with their son.

"Dad! Mom! Don’t say anything!" Miao Bin, now finding his assertiveness, said, "I don’t need you to manage my affairs! You go back first!"

He didn’t want his parents to know about the things he had done behind their backs.

Miao Hai glared, "We’re your parents! If we don’t take care of you, who will? Stop talking!"

His son was only bringing him anxiety now.

Miao Bin was like a little chick caught in a grip; he didn’t even think to ask for their help when they first saw him, instead preferring that they didn’t get involved, a clear sign that he had something to hide.

Parents know their children best, and Miao Hai and Ru Meilan had almost certainly determined that it was their own son who had caused trouble!

The couple turned their heads, their voices low and humble as they apologized to Qi Xingzhou and Jiang Ning, "We’re sorry, we are his parents, it’s our fault for not raising him right. We don’t know what our son did to wrong you both? Please tell us, we will make amends where we can and we will not shirk our responsibility for compensation..."

"Yes, yes, yes, let’s talk things over, just have a chat first," Ru Meilan quickly chimed in, fearing that Jiang Ning might impulsively call the police and have her son taken away.

Qi Xingzhou’s face was expressionless, and he did not speak.

He only listened to Jiang Ning’s words, and until Jiang Ning spoke, he would not loosen his grip on Miao Bin by a fraction.

Jiang Ning looked at the couple’s demeanor and felt somewhat surprised.

They seemed kind and sensible, but unfortunately, Miao Bin had not inherited a bit of that from them.

Thinking of the information provided by the System about Miao Bin, and recalling his past actions, Jiang Ning’s expression turned cold.

"Your son, he spent money to hire the ’water army’ to smear me online, to throw dirt on me," Jiang Ning began. "Now that I have come to confront him, he ran away at the sight of me and still won’t admit it."

As she said this, Jiang Ning let out a cold snort, "I have never met him before, and I don’t know him. There’s no reason for enmity, and I don’t understand why he would hire so many people to slander me."

Miao Bin’s parents rarely browsed the internet and didn’t understand what a ’water army’ was, but from Jiang Ning’s words, they could guess the implied meaning.

The couple turned their heads and looked at their son in shock.

Inside, Miao Bin was already feeling panicked and guilty. When he was alone, no matter what Jiang Ning said, he could still maintain a composed expression on his face.

But now, under his parents’ scrutiny, his emotions betrayed him.

However, he hadn’t forgotten the lie detector cap he was wearing. No matter how intense his inner turmoil, he kept his mouth shut, teeth clenched.

[This guy is hopeless, let’s drop him.]

[Still not talking? His stubborn expression is making my hands itch. If I were there, I’d definitely go up and give his head a knock to see if he’ll talk!]

The live stream audience was losing patience, commenting and critiquing.

Seeing his son like this, Miao Hai, Miao Bin’s father, was also extremely angry, "Miao Bin, is what she’s saying true or false? Did you really spend money... to slander someone with a ’water army’?"

"I did not!" Miao Bin yelled.

"Master! He’s lying! He’s lying!" The lie detector cap didn’t take a second to expose Miao Bin’s lie.

Miao Bin’s parents were unaware of the lie detector’s existence and jumped when they suddenly heard the childlike voice, then they realized it was coming from the cap on their son’s head.

Gazing at the cap on top of Miao Bin’s head, the couple’s expressions were full of suspicion and incredulity.

"This is the lie detector I brought. It’s on him because he’s not being honest or cooperative," Jiang Ning explained, and also said to the stony-faced Miao Bin, "I’m giving you one last chance. If you still don’t cooperate, I’ll hand over all the evidence I have to the police and let them interrogate you."

This live stream wasn’t just about catching Miao Bin; there were other criminals involved as well.

Miao Bin had already wasted too much of her time.

Jiang Ning’s patience was also limited.

The words rattled Miao Bin’s parents.

Upon hearing that she was going to hand Miao Bin over to the police, both looked visibly panicked.

"No, no, no, that can’t happen, Miss... please, don’t be angry, we will cooperate, we will definitely cooperate," they said.

Then they hastily reached out to grab Miao Bin, "Just answer when they ask you! What time do you think it is? If you have done something wrong to others, you should admit your mistake and apologize proactively!"

At this moment, Miao Bin’s parents still naively believed that if their son would just admit his wrongdoing and apologize to Jiang Ning, receiving her forgiveness would end the matter.

Little did they know, the real wrongdoings of Miao Bin had yet to be revealed.
