Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 157 Hobbies Have No Good or Bad (Fourth Update of 10,000 Words, Please Vote)
"Mimi, are you alright?"

Upon seeing the cat, Lin Jia immediately abandoned the two children and ran quickly to Lin Ge.

Without hesitation, she picked up the cat and examined its fur for injuries. Only when Lin Ge impatiently jumped off her and spat out the fragments of the memory card from his mouth did Lin Jia finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing the drool-covered plastic scraps on the ground, Lin Jia scolded her again, "Mimi, why do you put all sorts of dirty things in your mouth! If you don't behave, I'm going to punish you!"

"What kind of lesson are you giving me!"

Lin Ge glared at Lin Jia, ignoring the neurotic girl. Seeing Zhang Yining and Hu Miao timidly surrounded by several girls, Lin Ge let out a "whoosh" to signal them, then took off the camera strap from around his neck, bit the strap, and walked towards Zhang Yining.

"Oh dear, is that the cat?"

Upon hearing that the bad guy had been beaten up by the cat, a girl immediately pointed at Lin Ge and screamed excitedly.

"Yes, Mimi saved us."

Zhang Yining nodded obediently and squeezed through the crowd to stand in front of Lin Ge. When she saw Lin Ge push the camera toward her, she immediately understood his intention.

Looking around, Zhang Yining found a clean spot and plopped down, with Hu Miao quickly squatting down beside her. The two women, disregarding everything else, immediately turned on the camera and checked the photos stored inside.

Seeing this, the other girls, including Lin Jia, also curiously gathered around.

The camera was functioning normally; it hadn't been dropped or damaged beyond repair by Lin Ge. Zhang Yining used the touchscreen to open the image selection interface and retrieved all the photos in the camera's archive.

The first few photos were fine; they were all normal shots and actually turned out quite well.

But by the seventh or eighth photo, the style of the pictures changed.

The photo, taken from a low angle, clearly captures the fair, slender thighs, with the top of the frame positioned just above the full chest, without even including the photographer's face.

As soon as the photo was released, the girls around her gasped in shock, and a chorus of curses erupted.

Zhang Yining continued flipping through the photos with a grim expression. Sure enough, there were several more that were highly inappropriate, even bordering on erotic. One of them was the most outrageous, showing a close-up of the woman's chest from above, with a very wide focus, making the entire photo appear as two white, rounded curves...

Such images made the girls blush with embarrassment. They didn't know who the unfortunate person in the photo was, and all they could do was angrily curse the camera owner.

After a few more photos, the school's cosplayers finally appeared in the pictures.

As usual, a few normal candid shots were used as a cover to conceal the camera owner's despicable behavior. The subsequent photos only showed thighs and chests, and some even clearly showed underwear.

This finally ignited the girls' anger.

If the previous photos were of strangers, people didn't feel any connection to them. But when faces from the school appeared, the emotions changed completely; feelings of relief, repression, or fear spread through the crowd.

Especially... the person involved was also in the crowd, being looked at strangely by their companions, and they probably felt like they wanted to die here.

"Wow..."

A very cute cosplayer couldn't help but squat down and burst into tears.

Zhang Yining happened to come across her photo, taken from a terrible angle, making a pure middle school girl look incredibly suggestive. But who would have thought that this wasn't the girl's intention at all? From a normal angle, her clothes weren't even that revealing…

"Delete...delete all of these! It's not good if they get...if they get out..."

A kind-hearted girl timidly offered a reminder.

"Don't delete it!"

Zhang Yining calmly shook her head and explained to the women around her, "These are all evidence! Evidence to make bad people pay the price! The police will delete them later, but not now. At least the bad guys need to be convicted!"

The girl with teary eyes, who had initially tried to snatch the camera, quickly calmed down after hearing this.

Students don't tend to think as much as people in society. When it comes to justice, to bringing bad people to justice, they are more willing to endure injustice and understand the principles better than adults.

A group of people were chattering and cursing the bastard named Tao Junfeng. Some people couldn't wait to take out their phones to call the police, while others were comforting the girl who had been bullied.

The scene looked very harmonious, unlike what Lingo had imagined, where the bullied party would also suffer slander and insults.

This relieved him.

Zhang Yining's hand suddenly paused. Her eyes visibly turned red instantly, and she quickly switched the image away.

Lin Ge knew that Zhang Yining had seen herself. She wondered if a fourth-grade girl could handle such a blow.

"call……"

However, Lin Ge underestimated Zhang Yining. After taking a deep breath with her eyes closed, she opened the camera again. Then, facing the many women behind her, she expressionlessly continued to flip through the photos, slowly looking through her own unflattering pictures.

This also helped the girls who had harbored resentment to calm down again.

However, there weren't many photos of Zhang Yining. Perhaps the camera's memory was full, so Zhang Yining's photos were transferred to a memory card. However, the memory card had already been physically destroyed by Lin Ge, and the number of Zhang Yining's photos in the camera was still acceptable.

This relieved Zhang Yining, who completely relaxed and slumped into Hu Miao's arms.

“Ningning…”

Hu Miao felt very guilty and embarrassed.

She knew that if she hadn't been moved by what she was told, Zhang Yining wouldn't have actually wanted to be photographed like this.

"It's nothing! I'm fine!"

Zhang Yining smiled again, carefully turned off the camera, and handed it back to Lin Ge for safekeeping.

"I'm so sorry! I'll never do cosplay again! If I had known some people were this mean, I shouldn't have had that thought, and I definitely shouldn't have encouraged you to do it with me!"

Hu Miao was still timid and felt extremely regretful.

To her surprise, Zhang Yining firmly shook her head and said, "No way! Cosplay isn't a bad thing! Wearing pretty clothes and putting on pretty makeup, what's wrong with that? It's the people who are bad, not the event that everyone worked so hard to organize! I'm happy to play with my older brothers and sisters! So even if something like this happens, I won't give up this hobby. Miaomiao, don't be influenced by others, come cosplay with me again next time!"

"Woooo..."

Hu Miao burst into tears.

The girls who were cosplayers next to them were also excited and empathetic. The little girl said it so well! Everyone just wanted to have fun and perform, what's wrong with that?
“Ningning…”

A somewhat timid voice appeared in front of Zhang Yining.

Zhang Yining looked up and saw that it was the senior student who had greeted them at school that morning. She was still wearing the senior student's clothes, but she had taken off her wig and simply tied her hair into a messy ponytail.

"Senior! Where have you been? I've been looking for you for ages!"

Zhang Yining stood up in surprise and went to greet Yao Yuanyuan.

"I'm so sorry... for what happened."

Yao Yuanyuan first apologized softly to Zhang Yining, then looked around and whispered, "Ningning, I have something I want to tell you. Can you come over there with me for a moment?"

She pointed to a corner next to her where there were fewer people.

Zhang Yining didn't think much of it and readily agreed.

The two reached the corner, and Yao Yuanyuan's expression relaxed considerably. She smiled at Zhang Yining and said softly, "Ningning, I'm so sorry, I frightened you today. But I wanted to ask, could you give me that camera? Um... I have to say, Tao Junfeng isn't a bad person! He... he made a mistake because he was confused. If he's arrested for this, his life will be completely ruined! So... um... for my sake, Ningning, could you forgive him? If so, let's pretend this never happened, okay? After all, you weren't hurt, and next time your senior will take you to the comic..."

"Sister Yao!"

Zhang Yining interrupted Yao Yuanyuan, her expression changing from enthusiastic to indifferent.

She looked calmly at Yao Yuanyuan and asked, "Can you tell me what your relationship is with that person? Do you know what he did?"

"He...he was just confused for a moment!"

Yao Yuanyuan turned her head away, not daring to look Zhang Yining in the eye: "This camera... cost him a lot of money, most of it was borrowed from online loans. To pay off the loans, he took on private commissions from several bosses to take photos that met their requirements..."

"But do you know that this is a crime!"

Zhang Yining is small in stature and young in age, but his aura is as imposing as a mountain.

Her serious expression left Yao Yuanyuan speechless.
