The police officers at the station also saw the trending topics online.
After some verification, the photos and videos were proven to be real.
Therefore, once Ning Bai's injuries had somewhat healed, he was immediately apprehended.
When this news spread online, netizens couldn't help but exclaim, "Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, the heavenly way cycles, if you don't believe, look up, heaven has spared no one!"
In the end, because Ning Bai was not only involved in drug trafficking but also caused loss of life, he was sentenced to life imprisonment and would spend his days in jail. His company was also sealed off.
Upon hearing this news, Ming Li nodded with satisfaction.
"Knock, knock, knock—"
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
Aunt Wang's voice came from outside, "Young lady, Miss Wu is here."
Hearing this, Ming Li raised an eyebrow. The female lead number three? What was she here for? Was she here to demand an explanation because the male lead was arrested?
After a moment's thought, Ming Li opened the door and went downstairs.
When she arrived in the living room, she indeed saw Wu Rou Rou, dressed in a white dress, sitting on the sofa, sipping her tea in small sips.
Seeing Ming Li arrive, Wu Rou Rou quickly put down her teacup, stood up, and said somewhat sheepishly, "Xiao Li, thank you for saving me that day."
Ming Li waved her hand, "No need. Is there anything you need me for today?"
Wu Rou Rou lowered her head, her eyes red, and said, "Xiao Li, my... my fiancé has been arrested."
Ming Li, "???" What? Fiancé? Who was she talking about? It couldn't be the male lead, could it!?
Thinking this, Ming Li's mouth twitched, and she asked, "Your fiancé is..."
Wu Rou Rou, "Ning Bai..."
"Uh..." Ming Li looked at the girl in front of her with a strange expression and asked, "How did you two meet?"
Wu Rou Rou said with teary eyes, "We don't know each other."
Ming Li, "......" What the heck?
Meeting Ming Li's slightly confused gaze, Wu Rou Rou paused and said somewhat sheepishly, "It was an arranged marriage..."
Upon hearing this, Ming Li raised an eyebrow, "Now that the Ning Group has been sealed off, your arranged marriage probably doesn't count anymore, right?"
"It shouldn't count anymore, but..."
As she spoke, Wu Rou Rou's voice trailed off, and her expression became flustered. "He captured my brother and threatened me... threatened me to marry him... become his concubine... otherwise, we would never see my brother again... He also forbade us from calling the police. I... I don't know what to do..."
As she spoke, Wu Rou Rou began to cry from fear.
Ming Li, "......" What the heck? Concubine? How long has it been since the Republic of China era? This male lead must have a screw loose!
Seeing that Ming Li remained silent, Wu Rou Rou suddenly hugged her and said, "Xiao Li, you are my best friend. Please help me think of a way. What should I do? My family said that if my brother doesn't come back, I must marry him!"
Ming Li, who was being hugged, stiffened. After a long silence, she quietly took out her phone...
"Hello? Officer? Someone has been kidnapped by Ning Bai. Do you want to interrogate him severely to find out where he hid the person?"
Police officer, "......"
The police officer on the other end of the line was silent for a moment before saying, "Miss Ye, this is a society governed by law. Please put away your dangerous thoughts..."
Ming Li, "......Alright, if it's inconvenient for you due to your status, I can handle it myself."
Police officer, "......"
Inside the space, the system, having watched the entire process, hesitated for a moment and said, "Um... Host, actually, I know where the third female lead's brother is... The original plot mentioned it..."
Ming Li, "......"
After a moment of speechlessness, Ming Li hung up the phone, glanced at the girl beside her, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to find your brother."
Saying this, Ming Li picked up the car keys and the off-white trench coat beside her, and calmly said, "Let's go."
After thinking for a moment, Ming Li stopped and said to Wu Rou Rou, "Wait for me for a moment, I'll go get something."
Saying this, she headed towards the third floor.
After entering the study, Ming Li followed the previous route to the secret room, hefted several rocket launchers, and calmly left the place.
She came downstairs and glanced at the girl still waiting for her, then raised her chin and said, "Let's go."
Wu Rou Rou was silent for a moment before following. After getting into the car, she couldn't help but look at Ming Li curiously, "Xiao Li, do you know where my brother is?"
Ming Li nodded, fastened her seatbelt, and said in a faint voice, "I should know. We'll find out when we go and see."
With that, she stepped on the accelerator, and the car instantly sped off, leaving afterimages in its wake.
"Host! In the original plot, when the third female lead's brother was found, he was still alive, but he had been tortured beyond recognition. After being rescued, he had become a vegetative state. If you hurry now, you should be able to save him."
