Chapter 59 Is She Ace?
Kendall's background was clean, and she had never engaged in any illegal activity. She was not afraid of dealing with the police, she just did not want to be overly high-profile and attract unnecessary trouble.
Kendall proactively asked, "Do you have their contact information? I'll call them later."
"Yes, yes, of course I do!" Mark was delighted. "You don't need to call them. I'll contact them and ask them to call you instead."
The Ruby Road Police had posted a video online to search for her, so it was clear how anxious they must have been searching offline.
Mark's voice was bright. "Just wait a second, I'll call them right now."
"No rush."
After ending the call with Mark, Kendall opened TikTok and saw that terms related to the Ruby Road Police indeed dominated half of the hot search list.

Not a single term in the top ten of the hot search today was related to entertainment stars.
Kendall clicked on the hot search term about herself and found that there was actually a poll attached to it.
Question: Do you believe the whistleblower Ruby Road Police is looking for is the terminally ill young lady?
YesNoUnsure
Kendall curiously selected option 1. She then saw the voting results from other netizens.
Yes (51.6%)No (40.56%)Unsure (7.84%)
Kendall felt that this generation of netizens was truly remarkable.
She had only appeared on camera a few times, yet these people could identify her just from her back view.
Kendall had just watched the missing person video posted by the Ruby Road Police. It was a clip of her leaving the police station after returning from Ruby Road with Captain Edward and his group, picking up her phone, camera, and other belongings from the staff.
After Mark ended the call with Kendall, just as he said, he immediately called the Ruby Road Police and quickly gave them Kendall's contact information.
Within a few minutes, Kendall received a call from the Ruby Road Police.
The staff member from the Ruby Road Police was extremely warm toward Kendall, cordially inviting her to visit the police station for tea when she had time.
This joint operation by the Ruby Road Police and colleagues from other provinces had successfully wiped out Helen's human trafficking syndicate.
This annihilation was the Ruby Road Police's strongest and most successful strike this year, and it was the case with the highest number of arrested human traffickers in the last five years.
They even captured the human trafficking leaders 'Aunt White' and 'Black Old Man', who had been wanted by the police for over fifteen years.
Not only were the leaders in Ruby Road following the case, but even the leadership at the city and provincial levels were paying attention to the aftermath.
As the person who first discovered the criminals, Kendall's contribution was undeniably great. The officials had even decided to hold an appreciation ceremony for Kendall.
Upon hearing this, Kendall politely declined the staff member's enthusiastic invitation and expressed her desire not to expose her identity.
The staff member on the Ruby Road end was stunned. They likely hadn't expected Kendall to refuse so cleanly.
Commendations from the provincial and city levels were honours unimaginable to ordinary people.
Yet, Kendall rejected this coveted fame and prestige without a second thought, and with such finality.
Kendall did not feel she had missed out on anything. After ending the call, another matter was settled, and Kendall's expression relaxed.
The Ruby Road Police quickly posted their latest response online.
@RubyRoadPoliceDepartment: "Thank you for everyone's enthusiastic help, we have found the young lady who called to report the crime!"
user @GeniusBoy: "Is it the terminally ill young lady?"
@RubyRoadPoliceDepartment replied to @Geniusboy: "Yes!"
The official account personally stepping in finally put an end to the ongoing arguments among netizens. Everyone rushed to observe the situation.
user @WanderingGirl: "It really is her. Why do I feel both pity and amusement? How does she run into this kind of thing wherever she goes?"
user @CoolOldAunt: "I'm genuinely impressed. You say her luck is good, but she can be kidnapped by human traffickers while traveling. And if you say her luck is bad, she can run away from human traffickers after being abducted..."
user @CocoMelon: "Hahahaha! I knew it! If Ace makes a move, all criminals end up behind bars!"
user @LostSoul: "She's so amazing! Looking at the official information, she was also one of the victims, drugged and abducted by the human traffickers.
When a girl encounters this kind of thing, not only does she remain calm, but she manages a desperate counter-kill. If it were me, I'd already be crying."
user @RottenApple: "Why do I always run into you whiners everywhere? I should punch you all to death!"
user @CuriousCat: "Why do I keep seeing the words 'terminally ill young lady' on the hot search recently? Can someone summarize for me who this terminally ill young lady actually is? What happened?"
user @ForeverSleeping: "Yeah, what does this person do? Why do so many people seem to like her?"
user @StoneHouse: "Don't ask. Just know she's an unsung hero among ordinary people!"
user @BelieveInMyself: "She is far from ordinary person!
I've summarized the criminals she has caught.
First, Ace was discharged from the hospital in the morning, and in the afternoon, she ran into someone committing assault in the Heavenly Heart Shopping Plaza.
She bravely intervened and gifted the culprit a set of silver bracelet!
Second, Ace was buying something at an antique shop, but the owner was a robber who had been on the run for twenty years.
She shrewdly recognized him and gave the antique shop owner a belated set of silver bracelet!
Third, Ace felt unhappy and tired after being discharged for just two days and already having to catch two criminals, so she ran to Ruby Road for a trip, but she was drugged and abducted by human traffickers midway.
She had to tearfully hand out two more sets of silver bracelets!
See for yourselves! In just a few short days, is Ace's life ordinary?
One wave settled, another rose, full of ups and downs, more exciting than a TV drama. "
user @BrattyGirl: "Hahahaha, you perfectly transformed her story into a movie script, full of drama and wild twists at every turn!"
user @WhiteClouds: "@BelieveInMyself, you are so good at writing. I absolutely love it!"
user @NotYourCupOfTea: "Ace is so miserable, hahahaha. Finding bad guys wherever she goes, hahahaha"
user @YellowHeart: "How can you say that, @NotYourCupOfTea? It should be, wherever there are bad guys, there is Ace! She is a beacon of justice!"
Since the terminally ill young lady had never responded online, netizen's understanding of her was limited to the few words from official sources.
Her name hadn't even been exposed. Someone affectionately nicknamed her 'Ace' and netizens quickly accepted this powerful and cool title.
Kendall could feel the netizen's affection and defence of 'Ace' through the screen. This joyous atmosphere was the complete opposite of the mood in her own comment section.
Kendall: "..."
'She hadn't imagined this situation would occur.'
'If her mask ever falls off one day, the expressions on the netizen's faces should be quite interesting.'
