Everyone present, as well as all the viewers in the live stream, fell silent for a moment.
No one expected that such a truth lay behind a murder video.
If their guesses are correct, if all of this was Jiang Nian's scheme to help this mother—then how meticulous was Jiang Nian, who was only eleven years old at the time?
If any step in this process had not been completed or if any error had occurred, the result might not be what it is today.
She was gambling on her own intelligence, on the man's twisted and cruel nature, on her ability to fight back and survive, and on the sense of justice and humanity in everyone's hearts.
But she actually did it.
Is this the kind of intelligence that allows someone to crush everyone else in the International Olympic Committee at the age of ten?
The legendary genius girl.
Look at this mother in front of you.
Her hair was completely white, and she looked withered and frail. Perhaps she would miss her daughter for the rest of her life.
But at least she didn't die in despair six years ago, clutching her daughter's remains.
Is Jiang Nian a murderer?
no.
At least in this mother's heart, she is a hero.
All the netizens who had previously questioned the police about arresting Jiang Nian and claimed that she had been an antisocial murderer since childhood have fallen silent.
Thinking back on my previous insults, I wish I could take them back.
But what the woman said next sent a chill down their spines.
"After everything settled down back then, I took my daughter back to China so that she could return to her roots."
"Actually, I only met that child once. But I know that the child has always remembered me."
"Because for the past six years, every three months I have received an anonymous remittance to my account, and it has always been the same large amount."
“I have no relatives in this world except for that child, it can’t be anyone else.”
"Although she never contacted me, she used this method to confirm that I was still alive. She hoped that I would live well."
Only when Jiang Nian was mentioned did the woman's eyes finally redden and her voice begin to choke.
“If these two children hadn’t come to me with the video today, I wouldn’t have known that she had returned to China. I would have been even less aware that she had suffered all this because of what happened back then.”
“They said that many people online are cursing that child, calling her a perverted murderer. But that child doesn’t want to explain, saying that she doesn’t care about being cursed, and she doesn’t want the events of that year to be brought into the public eye again. Whether it’s my daughter in heaven or me, she wants us to have peace.”
"That child is a good child, please don't blame her anymore." The woman's eyes were red, and she said in a trembling voice as she leaned on her wheelchair. "If you have to scold someone, scold me instead."
So that's how it is...
No wonder Jiang Nian would rather be expelled from school than explain anything about the video.
No wonder the incident has gone viral online, yet the police have been slow to issue a statement.
No wonder Jiang Nian was never arrested; she was innocent.
The guilty parties are those netizens who are unaware of the truth but only concerned with judging Jiang Nian, as well as those media outlets and marketing accounts that are stirring up trouble.
The woman's statement, "If you want to criticize someone, criticize me," was a killer move, leaving all netizens and those present feeling uneasy.
It's to the point where I'd sit up in the middle of the night, slap myself, and mutter, "I deserve to die."
What on earth are they doing?!
Jiang Nian is just a high school student who hasn't even reached adulthood yet, but she is so responsible.
The people she was willing to be attacked by everyone to protect were forced by the victims to come out and explain themselves to them. They laid bare their daughter's death, their grief, despair, and bloody pain, once again for everyone to see.
Some people shed tears in front of their screens.
Some people regretted it and went back to delete their comments.
Someone started apologizing.
"I'm so sorry..."
A reporter at the scene couldn't help but say to the woman.
Honestly, I feel guilty if I don't say sorry.

Tanzhou.
Si Boye looked at the screen, with Fu Jinyi, Qin Ji and Huo Xiao beside him.
Qin Ji's eyes reddened, and he couldn't help but wipe away his tears: "Damn it, I never thought that watching a live stream could make me cry."
"How come Jiang Nian is so amazing? If I encountered something like this, I would definitely grab a knife and go find that beast, and then wait for my old man to bail me out."
"Damn, I still want to say, Bo Ye, you must be incredibly lucky to have met such a treasure."

Another villa.
Joey stared intently at the screen.
She found the video in an encrypted file about Jiang Nian from the FBI in the United States. But even she didn't know that there was such a background to this video.
If only I had known sooner.
She won't use this video to fight with Jiang Niandou.
Thinking about it this way, she became even more determined to find the person who had secretly distributed the video and incited public opinion.
That person deserves to die.

The Ji family.
Ji Yanli looked at the screen and sighed, "In the end, the person involved still had to come forward to clarify."
Ji Yanci took a deep breath: "Niannian should be in class right now, she doesn't know yet."
Ji Xiuan rested his chin on his hand: "Looking at it from another angle, at least Nian Nian has friends who care about her more than she does, which is a good thing."
Ji Yubai looked up: "What about Niannian dropping out of school?"
Ji Qiyue snorted coldly: "Our Ji family's little princess can do whatever she wants with us!"
"Besides, with Niannian's intelligence, she doesn't need to go to school at all. I think Big Brother should just take Niannian to the company to inherit the family business."
“It doesn’t seem like it’s impossible,” Ji Yanli thought seriously. “If Niannian weren’t still a minor, I was planning to let her explore the possibility of starting a company…”

English and Chinese.
While the other side had already come forward to clarify, in classroom 36, Li Li, the reporter from Jiangcheng Daily, was still arguing with Jiang Nian.
Jiang Nian told him to get lost, but he insisted on pointing the camera at her. He said he wanted to record the girl's terrible behavior and write it all up to publish later.
Until he received a call from the editor-in-chief.
The editor-in-chief on the other end of the phone was frantic: "Li Li, are you still in Yingzhong? Come back right away!"
"Back?" Li Li asked urgently. "Editor-in-chief, I ran into Jiang Nian in the classroom. She even dared to kick me in front of the live broadcast camera. I think this time, this girl is going to be ruined."
"You idiot!" The editor-in-chief's voice trembled. "She'll be ruined... If you don't come back, you'll be the one ruined, and so will our newspaper!"
