Chapter 873: On the Cutting Edge

Han Jing has no concept of this profession.

Then Liàn Yī explained after some deliberation:

In simple terms, it's a type of job that is not full-time. It involves writing various articles as the primary source of income. This can include news reports, reviews, columns, and more. You can write your own pieces or edit those written by others. As long as you keep up with current events and produce content that people read and enjoy, you're good to go.

And this profession has one advantage that suits your current situation very well: it allows you to avoid face-to-face contact. You can communicate through phone calls, emails, and other means. Moreover, you can work from anywhere, without being tied to a specific location like home.

"I understand, this might be really suitable for me. I want to give it a try, and it also aligns with my profession."

Han Jing lay in bed, communicating with Ripples in her mind. She felt that this fairy was reliable and genuinely considering her.

Well, we can gauge the situation tomorrow first and then determine a direction, taking it step by step.

With a future goal to strive for, Han Jing didn't overthink things that night and managed to get a good night's sleep.

Actually, because of Ripple's existence, she already had a huge advantage. Because Ripple sent her merit golden light, all the resentment that had clung to her soul dissipated. And because of Ripple's help, it could be said that she "personally" avenged herself, and the obsession in her heart also lessened.

The only thing left was her tragic experience during that half year. It belonged to Han Jing's memory. Lian Ri didn't think sealing the memory was good for her. Sometimes hardship can make people grow, and she was much more mature than when she first graduated.

Also because Han Jing had the dweller "Ripples" in her sea of consciousness, she was able to avoid nightmares and resentment after returning to normal life. Ripples' appearance provided her with a good buffer, these are all intangible benefits.

The next morning, Han Jing got up early. After having breakfast with her parents, she began searching for information on the computer at home.

Wenjing and her husband saw that their daughter's face was alright. After asking her, and confirming that she didn't need them to accompany her, the two went to work as usual.

"Lao Han, I'll take three days off first to check out the new apartment complex. If there are no updates here, I'll ask you to take leave next. Plus the weekend, we can move as soon as possible."

"Okay, I hear you."

Han Li-xue always listens to his wife about these little things, besides her arrangements are very reasonable. If he takes too much leave, the work unit wouldn't agree either. The only downside is that the two of them have to act separately.

"Rest assured, every afternoon after I return, I will report the specific situation to you."

Wenjing tugged on her husband's arm and said.

Okay, let's get to work first. Tonight when we get back, let's gather some information about new developments. We should try to find one that's convenient for both of us to commute to.

Han Li-xue nodded.

The two of them chatted as they walked, having already planned out everything they needed to do for the next month.

At two in the afternoon, someone knocked on Han Jing's door. She initially ignored it, as her parents both had keys to their rooms and wouldn't knock. Being alone at home, she didn't want to see strangers either.

But the knocker seemed quite persistent, rapping at a regular rhythm, knocking for a while then pausing, as if he were certain someone was inside.

Han Jing frowned and got up to open the door. However, she was very cautious and did not fully open it, and she also put on a safety chain.

Han Jing opened the door and peeked through the crack. Standing outside was a girl who looked to be two or three years older than her. She had a baby face but dressed more maturely—nine-point pants, a white shirt, a camel-colored trench coat, and a gold-brown bag slung over her shoulder.

Whom are you looking for

"I'm looking for you."

The girl smiled and said.

Han Jing frowned and said:

"I'm sorry, I don't know you."

After finishing, he was about to close the door.

"Well, you may not recognize me, but I know you. I was in the audience during the trial of the human trafficking case."

The girl immediately opened her mouth to explain.

After hearing the girl's words, Han Jing's face changed instantly. She gritted her teeth and asked:

The case has been adjudicated, what do you want from me

"That's right, I'm a reporter from the Successful Newspaper. I want to do a follow-up report on human trafficking cases, so I'm going to visit all the victims one by one."

"I'm really hurt by this, and I don't want to have those wounds reopened. I can't help you."

Han Jing didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking before interrupting directly and slamming the door shut.

"Han classmate"

The people outside seemed to still want to persuade Han Jing, and they continued to knock on the door relentlessly. However, that door never opened again.

Tong Manman was a little unhappy. She felt that what she was doing was meaningful. No one wanted to be a victim, and that's why it was important to speak out about these people's experiences, raise awareness among more people, and prevent more victims from appearing.

When visiting some of the victims before, some were willing to speak, and some had already left their previous residences. Han Jing's home was still found because she had secretly taken a picture of the other party during her trial observation.

When they first met, Han Jing's condition was obviously much better than before. She should cooperate with him more, how could she refuse him so resolutely!

Tong Manman is not one to give up easily. If Han Jing doesn't want to say, she'll go ask someone else. This is obviously a family courtyard, so people living here should know each other.

Immediately, Tong Manman stomped her feet and went downstairs to find out about the Han family from the people in the courtyard.

Sometimes what you think is right, might be extremely cruel to others.

Tong Manman thinks that standing on a moral high ground allows her to tear open other people's wounds without restraint, forgetting that victims are also human beings with blood and flesh. They have already paid a great price for being willing to let go of this painful past.

And Tong Manman's existence was like ripping open that wound, making the victim bleed again.

Han Jing rejected the offer from the Successful Newspaper, but she still felt uncomfortable inside. After confirming that they had left, she continued with her own work.

When Wenjing came into the family courtyard with fruits in the afternoon, she found that today's family courtyard was more lively than usual. Everyone was gathered together chatting.

When Wenjing walked past, a middle-aged woman seemed to have just seen her and greeted her with a smile:

"Wenjin, you're home from work"

"Well, I bought some fruit at the gate of the courtyard. They look pretty fresh."

"Where's your daughter these two days I haven't seen her come downstairs."

The old lady continued gossiping.

She didn't do well in her interviews these past few days, so she's been in a bad mood and hasn't gone out much.

Would a company hire a girl like her

A jarring voice suddenly interrupted.

This made Wenjing immediately frown and say coldly:

"What kind of girl is my daughter What does she have to do with you"

"Cut it out! You really think your daughter is a precious little angel Running away from home and getting an abortion, how utterly irresponsible!"over, felt discomfort all over. His neck ached and his back was stiff. It took him a long time to muster the strength to sit up from bed. Looking around at the familiar surroundings and the scattered...
