Jiang Cheng’s fun Q&A session began.

Zhu Pengcheng stood at the front, his legs trembling as he faced Jiang Cheng.

Zhu Pengcheng: It’s fine, it’s fine. There are so many people here, she wouldn’t dare do anything!
Jiang Cheng smiled beautifully, her voice melodious.

“An elderly grandmother with silver hair picks up two yuan that fell on the ground and returns it to you without keeping it for herself. You express your gratitude, and the people around you applaud in admiration.”

“The grandmother is carrying something very heavy. You have two choices: one, you help the grandmother carry her things and take her home; two, you do nothing. What would you do, Zhu Pengcheng?”

Zhu Pengcheng, not being foolish, immediately raised his hand and shouted, “One! I’ll take the grandmother home.”

“Good. Zhu Pengcheng takes the grandmother to her doorstep, but the distance is quite far, and the location is a bit remote. What would you do then?”

Zhu Pengcheng answered loudly, “I’m not afraid of hard work!”

“Excellent! Zhu Pengcheng isn’t afraid of hard work. He trudges along, huffing and puffing, until suddenly—thud—he faints.”

Zhu Pengcheng: ??
Classmates: ??
Teacher: ??

Jiang Cheng raised her megaphone and asked, “Zhu Pengcheng, do your parents give you two yuan as pocket money?”

Zhu Pengcheng shook his head foolishly.

Two yuan as pocket money? He had never even thought of such a combination of words in his life.

“Since you don’t have any, where did the two yuan the grandmother gave you come from? When you heard me say she returned two yuan to you, did you feel a little secretly pleased?”

Zhu Pengcheng lowered his head. Many classmates in the audience also lowered their heads.

Jiang Cheng looked at everyone, her voice coming through the tin megaphone.

“Money doesn’t fall from the sky for free. The grandmother was just bait. She’s a kidnapper who will sell you to a black coal mine, where you’ll never see the sun, live with rats, drink your own urine when thirsty, and eat your rat friends when hungry.”

In just a few sentences, Jiang Cheng painted an extremely terrifying picture for the children below.

After waiting for a minute, Jiang Cheng continued in a light-hearted tone, “Let’s continue with the fun Q&A. This time, we’ll all make the choice together.”

“Outside the train station, a man suddenly hugs you and cries, calling you his daughter. A woman runs over and scolds you, saying, ‘Why did you run off? What if you got lost?'”

“But you don’t know them at all. No matter how much you explain, the people around you don’t believe you and think you’re just throwing a tantrum. What would you do?”

The students and teachers below were all drawn into the scenario, anxiously thinking about what to do.

Many raised their hands, some suggesting shouting, others saying to call the police, and some even suggesting biting the person’s arm.

Jiang Cheng nodded at each response, then pressed her hands down to signal for quiet.

“The best approach is to involve a third party.”

“What you should do in that situation is damage public property or someone else’s belongings, like breaking a window at the train station or a passerby’s thermos. Once a third party gets involved, you should immediately seize the opportunity to call the police. Of course, you’ll have to compensate for the damages afterward.”

Jiang Cheng’s words left many enlightened, including the principal, Chief Tang, and even the police officer who had been somewhat critical of Jiang Cheng earlier that day.

At that moment, the police officer was scribbling furiously, trying to jot down every word Jiang Cheng said.

Useful!
Extremely useful!

After the second example, Jiang Cheng moved on to the third, then the fourth.

What would you do if a beautiful girl approached you for help, claiming someone was following her? What should you do?
What if a pregnant woman felt unwell and asked for your help?
What if a blind person dropped a handkerchief, and as you helped pick it up, you suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed?

Jiang Cheng listed many such scenarios.

Each one was presented in a novel way, yet deeply thought-provoking and immersive.

The teachers, who had initially been indifferent, were now paying even more attention than the students.

Because Jiang Cheng had said that it wasn’t just children who were at risk of being taken—women and even strong men could also be targeted.

The science popularization session continued until 4:30 PM, with both students and teachers left wanting more.

To them, Jiang Cheng wasn’t just giving a science popularization talk—she was teaching them life-saving secrets!

At 4:30 PM, the session ended.

Jiang Cheng didn’t have time to waste. After asking the police officer to return the bicycle to the director, she grabbed her backpack and ran off.

Chief Tang and the principal exchanged a few words, both satisfied with how the day had gone.

The principal felt he had added to his achievements and planned to compile the event into a report to submit, hoping for some recognition.

Chief Tang, on the other hand, had achieved his goal of stirring the pot.

Since they were dealing with human traffickers, it was only natural that they would target children.

Jiang Cheng’s science popularization had effectively cut off many avenues for the traffickers.

It seemed that Jiang Cheng needed some protection.

At that moment, Jiang Cheng was sprinting to night school, where she once again encountered the principal, who had left his meal and run off.

Jiang Cheng felt like a ferocious beast in a zoo.

“Principal, I need something!”

The principal, who had run a few steps away, turned back and looked at Jiang Cheng seriously. “I really don’t have anything else to give you!”

“It’s not that! Principal, what do you think about putting on a play?”

Principal Wang was completely caught off guard by Jiang Cheng’s sudden shift in topic.

“What?”

“A play to raise awareness about combating human trafficking.”

Principal Wang frowned: Combating human trafficking?
“It’s possible.”

“Then it’s settled.”

Jiang Cheng grabbed her meal and dashed off.

Left behind, Principal Wang was utterly confused. What did she mean?
Shaking his head, Principal Wang decided Jiang Cheng was probably just being impulsive and returned to his office without giving it much thought.

Meanwhile, Jiang Cheng finished her meal in a few minutes and headed to the office for class.

After Teacher Lü’s mini-lecture ended, Jiang Cheng returned to the classroom and started chatting with her classmates.

She specifically asked about Zhu Pengcheng’s father, who worked at the food factory.

Coincidentally, someone at night school actually knew about it.

After getting the information she wanted, Jiang Cheng focused on her studies.

However, by now, no teacher dared to call on Jiang Cheng to answer questions. As long as she kept her head down, that was enough.

They just prayed she wouldn’t look up.

In just over a week, Jiang Cheng had firmly established herself as the academic prodigy that even teachers were wary of.

After the first class ended, Jiang Cheng handed the teacher a set of exercises.

“Teacher, could you review these? If there are no issues, maybe we can use them as practice problems for everyone.”

Math teacher Yu looked down at the stack of handwritten papers filled with problems. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

“Jiang Cheng, you…?”

“Isn’t it better if we all improve together?”

Jiang Cheng said it casually, but the gesture was anything but ordinary.

Everyone had their own selfish thoughts. Who would be so selfless as to help others like this?

Teacher Yu was moved. The classmates around her were moved.

Even Sun Jiandong felt ashamed of himself.

Even Zhou Xiaohong and Zhang Cuijuan felt a bit awkward.

Only He Dan was filled with resentment, thinking: She’s just putting on an act! Wait until others learn from her and surpass her—then she’ll regret it!

Was Jiang Cheng afraid?

Of course not.

For one, the current problems were simple. Secondly, she never stopped learning.

Besides, she had a plan to turn the entire night school into a solid network of connections for her future.

These people had all appeared by name in the book. Whenever the female protagonist encountered trouble, one of them would pop up to help.

They were essentially busy tools.

Given that, what did it matter if she gave a little in return?
