Chapter 145

After all, this is a society ruled by law.

Any criminal act, regardless of the reason, will inevitably be punished by law.

And everything must be punished by law to count.

After all, an individual's private actions run counter to the spirit of the law.

Although the law is not perfect, society's development is constantly being refined and improved.

Otherwise, if everything were resolved through private individual action, that would be a regression of civilized society—a return to the age of outlaws.

But what Zhao Mengmeng was thinking about at this moment went beyond just that.

It was—

If Ning Chen truly planned to handle it himself.

Then what he would face would not be just a single murderer.

It would be the entire criminal syndicate behind it!

A massive, deeply entrenched transnational criminal syndicate!

This would place him in an extremely dangerous situation!

Those thugs back then were desperate lunatics who dared to fire at the police at will.

102. (3/10) Now I'm using her account to do this (asking for monthly tickets and subscriptions)

Two in the morning.

Ning Chen's RV had finally arrived at Tengchong.

And at this moment.

The old friends in Brother Shiguang's livestream room.

Still did not know where the streamer Brother Shiguang was currently located.

In short, they had just been following the streamer's livestream room, stumbling around in the dark all night.

By this point, the number of people in the room had dwindled to only tens of thousands.

Most of them, after exhausting an entire day of idleness and idle chitchat.

Finally could not hold on any longer, and left the livestream room one after another.

And right after that, the livestream room went dark.

The last few thousand who held out ultimately did not get to see, over this entire day, the explosive moment on streamer Brother Shiguang they had been waiting for.

【Streamer has ended the stream】

Ning Chen got up and left the RV.

After getting off, he looked ahead.

A very ordinary county town.

Although it was a county-level city, overall it was nothing more than a relatively large county town.

By now, it was already two in the morning.

The entire county town had already fallen asleep.

Apart from the occasional vehicle passing by on the road beside him.

And the silent, dim yellow street lamps standing one after another along the roadside.

Tonight, he would spend the night here.

Tomorrow morning, head down to Ginkgo Village below.

So, after going there.

What would he do?

Ning Chen returned to the RV, washed up, and lay down.

So, after going there. What would he do?

He thought about this matter.

For a long while, the moon outside the window stayed silent.

He too stayed silent the whole time.

Later, he pulled out that Li Sai Gao again, and after watching a few of his works.

He thought of something.

He got up and dragged out his suitcase.

He unzipped it.

He took out a box from inside.

Inside the box was a small hairpin, and a phone wrapped in a pink phone case.

These two items were Si Shiya's belongings from back then.

He had been carrying them with him all along.

Before, he would charge her phone from time to time, and even keep paying her phone bill.

But that was all.

It had been a long time since he had opened it to look again.

After unlocking it.

Ning Chen entered the Douyin platform.

The Douyin platform.

Was the livestream platform where Si Shiya had done her legal-education livestreams when she was alive.

After updating the software.

He opened Douyin.

Shiya's Douyin livestream account:

【Shiya's Little Law-Popularization House】

Seeing the account's profile picture again, that smiling face.

Ning Chen looked at her smiling face.

For a long while.

This account showed a follower count of 670,000.

In fact, Shiya's followers before had been less than 300,000.

The remaining 370,000 were people who, after her sacrifice, learned of what happened and voluntarily searched for and followed her.

But after that, the number basically never grew again.

Two years had passed; probably no one remembered that incident anymore.

So, most of them were likely dead followers, but if she started streaming again, at least some people would still watch.

Then, Ning Chen noticed a message in the backend.

Somewhat surprised.

He opened the message list.

He actually found this message.

The send time was May 19, 2020.

A few days after she had just been sacrificed.

The sender probably didn't know about that incident at the time.

But from now, it had been almost two and a half years.

He expanded the message:

【Hello, Streamer Shiya. I often watch your livestreams and really like you. I saw the note on your homepage saying you're willing to promote products for impoverished areas. I'm a support-teaching teacher at Ginkgo Village in Tengchong, Yunnan Province. It's been two years since I graduated from college. The local villagers live very hard lives, and the children's classroom is in terrible shape — they urgently need help. There are many local specialty products here, but unfortunately there's no sales channel. If you're willing, I hope you can lend a helping hand and promote their products for them. Would you? Contact info:...】

The sender was an account named "Ginkgo Support-Teaching Female Teacher."

Seeing the word "Ginkgo."

Ning Chen was also momentarily lost in thought.

Everything truly was a kind of mysterious force, arranged in the unseen.

The system had arranged for him, again and again, the unfulfilled wishes of Shiya's life.

And now, it had led him to this place.

And let him happen to see this message.

As if fate had long ago arranged everything in the unseen.
