At 8 p.m., Chu Lan received a message on his phone.
From Weibo.
Her special attention was a reminder.
It is peace.
What's wrong with An Ning again? Why is she posting on Weibo at this time?
Chu Lan didn't imagine a terrible ending this time; she was just a little worried when she clicked on the Weibo post.
After hearing An Ning's words that morning, Chu Lan reflected deeply on himself.
She didn't know when her feelings for Xiao Ning had changed.
Perhaps it started when Anning was first taken to the police station.
She planted a seed of doubt in her heart, always feeling that the artists under her management had some secrets she didn't know. Once this seed took root and sprouted in her heart, she was even unable to make independent judgments.
I always have a preconceived notion that Xiao Ning is a bad person. Every time I receive a message from Xiao Ning, I feel that Xiao Ning has made some big mistake again and that Xiao Ning is about to be targeted by the police again.
She seems to have lost the most basic trust in Xiao Ning, and has become one of those netizens who believe whatever they hear on the internet.
Just as Chu Lan had deeply reflected on herself, she saw An Ning's new Weibo post.
That was a real photo of a banner.
The banner was being held by a young policeman. An Ning was standing next to the policeman, holding her phone. It seemed as if she was being called out while she was using her phone. An Ning looked somewhat bewildered.
However, it is not difficult to see that they are in a police station.
The caption for this Weibo post was very simple.
There was only one trending topic: #Anning assaults someone in public.
Looking at that banner and then at this trending topic makes it all the more ironic.
The content on the banner is:
Presented to: Ms. Anning
Acts of bravery
Noble character
Presented by Jinghai City Public Security Bureau
September 2024
This Weibo post was very simple, but Chu Lan inexplicably felt a sharp pain in his face.
An Ning actually posted the banner she received on Weibo to clarify the situation.

This photo was taken with the help of Chen Yan.
He only learned that Anning had acted as a good citizen of China, doing a heroic deed, when he took the photo.
He had assumed that Anning had captured the criminals unharmed, but when he asked her, he heard an answer he hadn't expected.
"How could he not be injured?"
An Ning's eyelids drooped slightly. "If my hair hadn't covered this spot on my forehead, people would have thought I'd broken my head in a fight."
Her tone was nonchalant, as if she felt no pain at all.
Chen Yan tightened his grip on the banner, and with his other hand, he reached out to pull at An Ning's hair at the temple. An Ning did not dodge, but paused slightly, allowing him to see it clearly.
The skin in that area looked terrible; the wound had scabbed over, but the abraded skin was red and had small blisters—it was a burn from a bullet.
It's obvious at a glance that the injured person hasn't applied any medicine to the wound and is letting it heal on its own.
This is simply unbelievable.
Chen Yan reacted similarly, his pupils contracting sharply as he desperately suppressed his emotions. "You're just going to leave it like this? Why didn't you apply any medicine?"
Seeing that he had figured it out, An Ning stopped lingering and continued walking forward. "It's simple. I don't want to get involved. Just consider it as me leaving myself a medal."
Her explanation sounded completely perfunctory. After pausing for a few seconds, Chen Yan strode to catch up with An Ning. "What about the two people who hurt you? Are they at the Jinghai City Public Security Bureau now?"
An Ning nodded. "I poked a big hole in the hand of the guy in front, and the guy behind... I kicked him more than a dozen times. He's unconscious and probably got a mild concussion."
She also showed an indifferent attitude when speaking for Chen Yan, "Actually, the guy behind me was also planning to stab me. I threw the knife at him and it hit him. But when I looked at his body later, I saw that the cuts on his body were all from broken glass. I guess he broke someone else's window."
"Since I didn't manage to stab him, I was obviously unhappy, so I kicked him again later, with a lot of force. Don't worry about me."
As Anning said this, she glanced down at a shared bicycle and asked, "I'm going home. Are you going home too?"
"Are you going back to Fengchao?" Chen Yan asked.
An Ning shook her head. "Back to Mingchen Garden in Beijing, the house my brother just gave me."
"Since we're going the same way, let's go together."
As he said this, Chen Yan glanced down at a shared bicycle, put An Ning's banner in the front basket, and then plopped down on the bicycle seat.
Seeing that An Ning hadn't made a move, Chen Yan asked with some confusion, "Aren't you leaving?"
"I remember there aren't many residential areas around Jingming Chenyuan. You live there too?" An Ning's eyes were full of inquiry as she looked Chen Yan up and down, as if she wanted to see right through him.
Only then did Chen Yan realize she had misspoke and quickly corrected herself, "No, I work as a tutor there. My employer reserved a room for me so it would be convenient for me to tutor the children, so..."
Before he could finish his attempt to explain, Anning interrupted him, "It's nothing, I was just asking casually, you don't need to answer in such detail."
Before she finished speaking, she rode her shared bike toward Jingming Chenyuan.
Chen Yan slowly followed a few seconds later.
Oh no, he's about to stray from his original goal.

Jiang Yu saw An Ning's new WeChat Moments at 10 p.m. He had just finished a gathering with his old friends and saw the video of An Ning reading her apology as soon as he opened his phone.
Anning also posted a comment under this video.
Going to the bank to count gold bars: My husband and I have known each other for seven years, but I was betrayed and my vicious mother-in-law makes things difficult for me in every way. My best friend even seduced my husband in my own home! My countless acts of forbearance have only resulted in more abuse. I can't take it anymore. Give me a like to hear my revenge plan. Once I reach fifty likes, I will start telling my story live. Current progress (0/50)
Less than ten minutes later, she posted a second comment.
Go to the bank to count gold bars: That's enough! The live stream will start at 8 PM on September 32nd. Friends and family who liked this, please remember to tune in on time!
Jiang Yu chuckled as he looked at the two neurotic comments and belatedly gave An Ning a thumbs up.
After reading the comments, he leisurely clicked into the video to watch An Ning recite her apology letter, which was her apology for fighting with a minor.
At first, Jiang Yu was quite happy watching it, but his expression suddenly changed when An Ning in the video said expressionlessly, "I will never dare to do it again next time."
The person filming her let out a short laugh at that moment, causing their hand to sway slightly and capturing some extra footage.
It was a fair wrist with a large palm. The wrist bones were not thick for a boy, but they were slightly wider than those of a girl. It was clear that this person was definitely not a girl.
But what caught Jiang Yu's attention was not this section of the wrist, but the red string bracelet on it, with the character "宴" (banquet) clearly engraved on it.
That was his eighteenth birthday gift to Chen Yan.
