Upon learning that Jiang Nian had been summoned home by Ji Yanli, and that all of his brothers except for his eldest brother had also returned to the Ji family, he was shocked to discover that Jiang Nian had been called home by Ji Yanli.
Ji Yuwei couldn't hide the joy on her face.
Jiang Nian is finished now!
With the video right in front of them, how could the Ji brothers possibly like a murderer's sister?
Moreover, with the public outcry so intense right now, it won't be long before the police come knocking on their door to arrest them.
Jiang Nian might be taken away by the police in front of her whole family, and might even end up in jail.
From now on, the Ji family will never have such an eyesore as her again!
-
That night, the public security cyber police department significantly increased its oversight efforts.
Even if netizens forward the video privately, it will be blocked as soon as it is posted.
However, the more something is censored, the more people try to find ways to release it.
As more and more people learned about and discussed this matter, it eventually became a trending topic.
At 11 p.m. that night, the three hashtags #JiangchengYingzhongMurderer#, #GeniusGirlJMurderer#, and #JiangchengYingzhongJiangNian# surged into the top three of the trending searches.
A genius girl and a murderer.
The combination of these two words is shocking and has piqued everyone's curiosity.
At this very moment, the lights are still on in the office of Jiangcheng Daily.
A male reporter excitedly stepped into the editor-in-chief's office.
"Editor-in-chief, this is big news! Since we can't suppress this anymore, we have to get the scoop first!"
"I heard that Jiang Nian has been expelled from school. I don't know where she is now or whether she has been arrested. But we can still go to Yingzhong to interview her former classmates."
"Just imagine, what kind of image does a demon girl who can kill with a knife at a young age present at school? What an attractive topic that would be!"
However, at this moment, Xu Ying, the reporter who had been called to Yingzhong by Jiang Ranran, stepped forward.
"Editor-in-chief, the official investigation results haven't been released yet, so I think it's better if we don't jump to conclusions."
"Even if the murder is true, what if Jiang Nian had some reason for killing him, or what if there are any twists and turns later on? We'll ruin our own reputation..."
Xu Ying clearly remembers that as soon as she arrived in class, she filmed Jiang Nian pouring a bucket of water on Tang Qiuya.
She immediately suspected Jiang Nian of bullying her classmate, and even sarcastically remarked that Jiang Ranran and Jiang Nian were clearly sisters, yet one was kind and pure while the other was vicious.
However, things took an unexpected turn.
It was Jiang Ranran who instigated Tang Qiuyue to put on a show, and then specifically called her over to livestream and film this scene. It was all to frame Jiang Nian for bullying and to use public opinion to drive her out of school.
Xu Ying clearly remembered what Jiang Nian said to her back then.
I used to think that the most basic professional quality of a journalist was to pursue the truthfulness of news.
[Instead of being prejudiced, judging people with biased eyes, and condescendingly criticizing them.]
These two sentences deeply moved her.
After that, she would carefully assess the veracity of any news she handled before reporting it.
But the male reporter looked disdainful upon hearing this.
"Since murder has already occurred, what kind of reversal is possible? No matter what, murder is still a crime."
"Moreover, we only interviewed Jiang Nian about her performance at school and her image in the eyes of her classmates. We did not directly label her as a psychopathic murderer."
"What we journalists value is novelty and seizing opportunities."
“If we do nothing here, other newspapers will beat us to it. What about our performance then?”
The word "performance" impressed the editor-in-chief.
He waved his hand and said, "Alright, Xiao Li, I'll leave this to you. You work on the topic tonight and go to Yingzhong for the interview tomorrow."
Xiao Li beamed with joy, unable to contain his excitement: "Okay, Editor-in-Chief, don't worry. I'll do a live interview tomorrow, and we'll definitely be on the front page and trending topics tomorrow morning!"
But if you go there with that purpose, you're already labeling the person as a psychopathic killer.
Seeing this, Xu Ying didn't say anything more.
As soon as Xiao Li stepped out of the office, he immediately dialed a number: "...Yes, the editor-in-chief has agreed."
"Don't worry, I'll make sure Jiang Nian is completely ruined in tomorrow's interview. What bombshell scoop are you going to give me?"
Ji Yuwei, having achieved her goal, gave a cold laugh.
He spoke slowly and deliberately: "You should remember that Ji Yubai previously stated publicly that he has a younger sister who is a senior in high school in England, right?"
"His sister is the murderer Jiang Nian—isn't that a bombshell?"

the next day.
English and Chinese.
In Class 36, the more than seventy students formed a stark contrast.
Half of the people were beaming with joy. The other half were worried, their brows furrowed.
The happy half of them were those who successfully applied to transfer classes yesterday. When their homeroom teacher arrives later, they can happily go to their respective preferred classes.
The half of people who were worried were all worried about Jiang Nian.
Everyone knows that Jiang Nian is usually closest to Han Xu, Lin Ruru, and Tang Qiuya, but today Han Xu didn't come to school at all, and Tang Qiuya didn't come either, leaving only Lin Ruru sitting alone in her seat.
So everyone gathered around her and asked her questions.
"Lin Ruru, everyone online is saying that Sister Nian was taken away by the police last night. Is that true?"
"Lin Ruru, did Nian really drop out of school? Is she really not coming back to our school and our class?"
"Are you stupid? If Nianjie really gets arrested, how will she go to school?"
Seeing a group of people chattering in front of her, Lin Ruru sighed, "I don't know how Niannian is doing now."
“But I messaged her yesterday afternoon, and she said she was fine and told me not to worry.”
"We're so worried! We don't know where Sister Nian lives, and we can't go see her!" Wang Qing was an impatient person.
She glanced at the empty seat next to her and thought, "The internet is in an uproar. Where are Han Xu and Tang Qiuyue at such a crucial time?"
At this moment, Han Xu and Tang Qiuya were doing something big.
Instead of going to school, the two of them went to a sanatorium in the suburbs of Jiangcheng early in the morning.
Tang Qiuyue craned her neck and peered into the sanatorium surrounded by iron fences, then asked Han Xu uncertainly, "Han Xu, are you sure that lady is inside?"
