After the police had taken statements from the bystanders, the man shouted, “Police, sir, could you please let me bring my daughter-in-law to see the doctor first?”
“No way! We’re going to the police station first!”
Ning Meng was being very bossy and the police had no choice but to finally say, “Enough of your arguing. Follow me to the police station, there’s a doctor there.”
The bystanders looked at Ning Meng following the policemen to the police station which was not far away. When they saw that they were about to reach the police station, the public stopped paying attention to them.
It was at this moment that the man suddenly pushed the lady forward and tried to make a run for it, but nimbly, Ning Meng leaped forward and held onto the man’s shoulders with both her hands, managing to press him down against the ground, her eyes glowing sharply.
“Sir, I suspect that this person is involved in human trafficking.”

“Citizen Ning Meng, we cannot thank you enough for today.”
The captain himself had come to personally send them off.
“If it wasn’t for you, this lady would have been kidnapped. I asked some of our sources, that man specializes in selling young women like her. They usually sell them to those living in remote mountain villages. How did you notice that there was something amiss, though?”
Ning Meng laughed.
“I was only guessing. The lady looked like a university student. She may look like she’s just wearing a simple t-shirt but that is Gucci’s latest trend, so it’s not cheap—it’s worth around twenty thousand. The scammer, on the other hand, was wearing cheap clothes, so I asked for compensation so that I could investigate. When the scammer said that they were very poor, I felt that something was not right, so I was adamant to go to the police station no matter what.”
The police nodded. “What you did was the right thing. Thank you for your righteousness.”
Ning Meng waved. “I just so happened to be caught in this. How’s the lady doing by the way?”
“She was drugged and her whole body is weak. We’ve sent her to the hospital.”
“That’s good.”
Ning Meng felt better after settling the matter. She had, after all, helped to catch a criminal with her own two hands. When she picked up her phone, she noticed that it had run out of battery. She drove home and charged her phone. When she turned on her phone, many new messages popped up on her WeChat.
She went through Huo Beichen’s messages first. After hearing his apology, she smiled, but she had decided to not respond to him just yet. How could she act like everything was fine after he had merely said a few sweet words? That would be too easy! He needed to come over personally and cook her a meal no matter what.
Then, she exited the chatroom and saw that Zhen Shanmei had sent her a new text: [Meng Meng, what happened?]
Ning Meng: [??]
Zhen Shanmei sent her a link. Ning Meng opened the link and noticed that it was a viral video of her saving the lady earlier. One of the bystanders had recorded the whole incident. Ning Meng looked evil and disgusting in the video.
This video had only been uploaded a short while ago but it had already been shared over a thousand times and had hundreds of thousands of views. Numerous chilling hateful curses were seen below the video:
[You think you can do whatever you want just because you’re rich? I curse that when this woman goes out, her whole family will die from a car crash]
[F*ck! I’m really curious after watching this video. So, your Maserati is expensive, but he had already knelt in front of you, yet you still can’t let it go?]
Among the insults were curses on her ancestors to the eighteenth generation. One of the comments read:
[I kept asking myself why does she look so familiar… Isn’t she the comic artist, Lemon? What a shame that I liked reading your comic, Lifebloom. I never thought that you were this kind of person! @Comic Artist Lemo]
Lemon’s Weibo had, at that moment, fallen into the enemy’s hands.
