Chương 4: Chapter 3 Confronting the Fiancé

The police record was completed quickly, and the officers even mentioned they would help Jiang Ning apply for a Good Samaritan award.

As she was preparing to leave, Jiang Ning overheard the police calling Wang Qiang's wife.

After hearing from the police about Wang Qiang attacking an officer in the street, Wang Qiang's wife said bitterly, "I've already filed for divorce, I have nothing to do with him! He's been abusing me for over twenty years, accusing me of cheating every time he sees me talking to a man, then dragging me home to beat me! He even threatened to kill me! Such scum, you might as well just shoot him!"

...

Jiang Ning walked out of the police station, and her phone, which had been silent in her pocket, suddenly began to vibrate.

She took out her phone and saw the name "Mu Mingxuan" displayed on the screen.

Jiang Ning's expression turned cold instantly. Mu Mingxuan, the main culprit who put her in the hospital for a month!

As for his other role, just thinking about it made Jiang Ning feel sick.

Years ago, the Huo Family and the Mu Family's ladies were pregnant at the same time, and the families arranged a marriage for their unborn children.

After Huo Miao was exposed as a false heiress, Mu Mingxuan scorned Jiang Ning, the true heiress who joined the Huo Family midway, saying that he and Huo Miao were truly in love and that Jiang Ning should roll away as far as possible and not disturb him and Huo Miao.

But in truth, Jiang Ning looked down on such a freeloader who grew up relying on his family's name just as much.

Yet, for reasons unknown, Mu Mingxuan was convinced that Jiang Ning was like a toad lusting after a swan, and from time to time, would bounce around Jiang Ning like a buffoon to make his presence felt.

Her slender, fair fingers swiped across the screen, and she answered the call.

Before Jiang Ning could speak, Mu Mingxuan's angry voice was already transmitting from the phone, "Jiang Ning! Have you lost your mind? I heard you just beat up Miaomiao at the villa and pushed her into the swimming pool! How can you be so vicious? Miaomiao can't swim, pushing her into the pool is tantamount to murder!"

Jiang Ning: "..."

Like an angry dinosaur, Mu Mingxuan continued to roar, "Let me tell you, even if you kill Miaomiao, I won't spare you a second glance!"

Jiang Ning held the phone away from her ear and asked seriously, "Are you sick? If you're sick, go see a doctor, okay? Huo Miao didn't tell you that not only did I kick her into the water, I also kicked her beloved father, mother, and brother in too? I never target her alone, I clearly target her entire family as well. As for murder... can that four-foot deep pool instantly drown four adults?"

Mu Mingxuan was momentarily choked up.

He was on a business trip out of town today, so he did not attend the Huo Family's gathering.

Just now, Huo Miao suddenly called him crying, saying Jiang Ning appeared at the gathering, beat her up, and pushed her into the pool. If it weren't for someone pulling her out, she almost drowned… Despite being treated so harshly, Huo Miao felt no resentment towards Jiang Ning, but rather blamed herself, wondering if she should leave the Huo Family. Only her departure might appease Jiang Ning.

After hearing this, Mu Mingxuan was furiously incensed, which led him to immediately call Jiang Ning to confront her.

But he hadn't expected that Jiang Ning would not only kick Huo Miao into the water but also drag the other Huo family members in with her!

Surely, she was a crude and uneducated country bumpkin.

Mu Mingxuan spoke up, "Mother Huo and Aunt Chen truly brought misfortune on themselves by giving birth to you."

Jiang Ning's eyes darkened, her tone icy, "Mu Mingxuan, where are you right now?"

"I'm on a business trip in Q city," Mu Mingxuan said angrily. "What else do you think is the reason I didn't attend the gathering today? If I had been there, I would never have allowed you to lay a finger on Miaomiao!"

"Alright," Jiang Ning nodded. "I'll remember what you just said. And about the time you caused my hospitalization, you just wait. The next time we meet, if I don't beat you into a caterpillar, my last name isn't Jiang."

Without waiting for Mu Mingxuan to react, Jiang Ning hung up the phone.

She moved her finger and blocked Mu Mingxuan's number.

With that parasite's contact removed from her phone, Jiang Ning felt the air become much fresher.

Deciding to go all the way, she promptly blocked the Huo family members' contact information as well.

The Huo family was large, and when Father Huo and Mother Huo were young, they seemed to have focused only on one particular activity. Above Jiang Ning, they had altogether three sons. After Jiang Ning was switched at birth, another set of twins was born within two years.

However, bad bamboo does not produce good shoots, and the sons that were born were nothing good in Jiang Ning's eyes.

The eldest brother Huo Li might have been a business elite, but once he was home, it was as if he left his brain in the office and ignored his biological sister completely. He was very attentive to Huo Miao, the impostor, always only buying gifts for her when he was on business trips. He also often took Huo Miao's one-sided words for truth, and sternly warned Jiang Ning not to bully Huo Miao with a cold face.

The second brother, Huo Ziheng, whom she had kicked into the water that afternoon, was another advocate of Huo Miao.

As for the third brother, Huo Minghui, his personality was relatively milder and he didn't ostracize Jiang Ning as much as the others. But if he had to choose between Jiang Ning and Huo Miao, he would definitely side with Huo Miao.

Not to mention the twins, the fourth and fifth brothers.

These two high schoolers had already been PUA'd by Huo Miao into who knows what. They had not an ounce of respect for their biological sister, Jiang Ning, and would often tell her to roll out of the Huo family without batting an eye.

In the past, she had been mindful of the ties of kinship and swallowed any grievance no matter how big when facing these people.

In the future, if these people dared to mock or ridicule her without seeing clearly, she would punch one if they came, and punch a pair if two came!

The new skill that Jiang Ning unlocked after being discharged this time: Beating up trash!

But, Jiang Ning had not forgotten the existence of the system within her.

Looking at her remaining three days of life value, Jiang Ning poked her mind's system, "Just now after completing the mission, in addition to life value, there was also a Merit Points value, what is that?"

[Host, I'm here.]

[The full name of this system is the Merit System. As the name suggests, its purpose is to promote positive energy and build a beautiful and harmonious society.]

[If the host had not appeared today, in the original trajectory, Wang Qiang and the police would have been at a standoff for three to four hours, after which, due to physical exhaustion and knowing he couldn't escape, he would have cold-heartedly slashed the hostage's neck and ultimately been shot on the spot by the police. The hostage would have also died due to excessive blood loss on the ambulance.]

[The host's appearance changed the outcome of this event, saving two lives and altering the fate of the hostage's family members. Therefore, all things considered, Merit Points +3.]

Jiang Ning was more concerned with, "What are Merit Points good for?"

[Merit Points can also be called Fate. A person with a high number of Merit Points is bound to be deeply blessed and have a smooth life. The host is currently suffering from a terminal illness, and you can use Merit Points to recover and heal your body.]

[Once the host's Rank rises, you can also exchange for items you want in the System Mall using Merit Points.]

As the system spoke, a screen suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Ning with her personal information.

Host: Jiang Ning

Merit Rank: 0[1/10]

Jiang Ning, who had played games before, roughly understood, "So I completed one mission, and I have to catch ten criminals, complete ten missions to be upgraded, right?"

[Yes.]

Jiang Ning sharpened her knives, "Are there any missions available now?"

[Yes, there are.] The system, seeing its own host so proactive, immediately brought up the mission page for Jiang Ning to see.

[As of now, Xinguo has over three million fugitives on the run. The missions I've brought up here are the ones close to you, in the same district, same city, or in the same province.]

[If a situation arises like the one this afternoon where a criminal suddenly commits a crime, or there is a criminal near you, I will immediately issue a new mission relevant to it.]

Where the light does not reach, shadows linger, and malice flourishes unchecked in the shadows.

Even in a country like Xinguo, where the legal system is well-established and the public security is good, there will still be individuals who, driven by personal greed, take dangerous risks and endanger society.
