Chapter 172 You! Have you stepped into the heretical path?!
The next morning, Chen Yifan got up very early.
The online storm, which had been brewing overnight, not only failed to subside but instead spread like wildfire.
Several unscrupulous self-media outlets with keen senses have already pushed the news of the "massacre of 10,000 people during the college entrance examination" to a wider audience with even more sensational headlines.
The name "Chen Yifan" has appeared in numerous incidents, including the Goblin Mine Incident, the Shadow Demon Incident, and the Hundred Faces Incident...
It once again topped the trending lists on all social media platforms.
Wang Shufen knocked on his door with a worried expression.
"Yifan, are all those things said online... are they all true?"
The worry in her eyes was almost overflowing.
"Mom, don't believe that."
Chen Yifan smiled and pulled her to sit down.
"A group of people are jealous of my good college entrance exam scores."
He explained it casually.
"They can't beat me, so they can only curse me online."
This explanation, though simple and blunt, aligns well with the basic logic of ordinary people.
Wang Shufen was skeptical, but seeing her son's calm demeanor, she felt much relieved.
"Yes, Mom believes you."
Don't worry.
After comforting his mother, Chen Yifan changed his clothes and said to Chen Xue, who was also worried and was in the living room:
"Xiaoxue, I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back."
Chen Xue's clear eyes were filled with seriousness.
"Brother, be careful."
Chen Yifan went out the door.
He neither went to the Education Bureau nor sought out the enraged Wang Fugui.
Instead, they took a taxi directly to the headquarters building of the Security Bureau.
He walked into the spacious and bright lobby and went straight to the front desk.
"Hello, I need to call the police."
The policewoman in charge of reception was taken aback, looking at the handsome young man in front of her, who had a clean-cut demeanor like a high school student, and was somewhat surprised.
"Why call the police?"
"I am reporting that during the college entrance examination period, someone maliciously organized and incited thousands of candidates to carry out a premeditated violent blockade against me, which caused me psychological harm."
Chen Yifan spoke slowly, but his words were as clear as a scalpel.
"At the same time, I am reporting a person named Zhou Kai and his online ID 'Justice Will Prevail V587'."
"He openly spread false information about me online, fabricated facts, and defamed and slandered me, seriously infringing on my right to reputation and causing extremely bad social impact."
The policewoman was stunned.
What happened in the college entrance examination hall, and what caused psychological harm?
This... they went to the security bureau to report it?
Does it also involve online defamation?
This case sounds interesting.
She was about to say that this matter might not be under their jurisdiction and that they should go to the education bureau.
However, when Chen Yifan casually placed his identity terminal on the reading device...
A "beep" sound.
The personal information that popped up on the screen made the policewoman's expression freeze instantly, and then she became extremely serious.
It's him!
Not long ago, here, the young hero publicly killed the legendary assassin "Shadow Fiend" and helped them capture another legendary assassin, "Hundred Faces"!
No wonder he looked familiar; that aura, that appearance…
"Please...please wait a moment, I'll report to my supervisor immediately!"
The policewoman's attitude underwent a complete change.
Chen Yifan didn't urge him, but sat quietly on the chair in the waiting area, like an ordinary citizen who came to handle household registration matters.
He knew very well that, within the rules, identity was the most useful weapon.
Engaging in verbal battles with a bunch of keyboard warriors hiding behind their screens is the most rudimentary approach.
What he wants to do is make a big fuss.
To elevate an online public opinion dispute to the legal level, get the authorities involved, and use the most authoritative means to define the nature of the matter.
Once the official investigation report is released, it will determine that he acted in "legitimate self-defense" and that Zhou Kai and others were guilty of "picking quarrels and provoking trouble" and "defamation."
All the online criticism and condemnation can be reversed in an instant.
He, Chen Yifan, will transform from a "butcher" into a lone hero who fights back against thousands of villains in desperate situations to defend his own and his comrades' honor...
In the end, it will not only be without blemish, but will also become a significant highlight on your resume.
Reputation is sometimes more useful than ability.
Not long after, a middle-aged man dressed in casual clothes but with a tall and upright figure walked over quickly.
"Kid!"
Chen Yifan looked up, somewhat surprised.
The person who arrived was none other than Wang Qingyun.
He wasn't wearing his faded old police uniform today.
Moreover, he changed into a well-fitting casual outfit, which made him look less lazy and more sharp and shrewd than ordinary people.
"Uncle Wang? What are you doing here?"
"Are you kidding me? If I'm not here, where would I be?" Wang Qingyun rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "Come with me."
He took Chen Yifan not to the interrogation room, but into his private office.
Closing the door shut out all outside noise.
Chen Yifan subconsciously looked up at the place where the hidden surveillance camera had been.
Ok?
That's all?
Wang Jianguo did not ask him why he called the police.
They also made no mention of the rumors circulating online.
I simply poured him a glass of water, then sat down opposite him and quietly watched him.
That gaze was no longer the amiable look one would give to a younger person.
Rather, it is a kind of...examination.
A scrutiny that sees through him completely, inside and out.
The office was so quiet that the only sound was each other's breathing.
Chen Yifan felt a little uneasy under his gaze.
Could it be that he found out that I secretly gave him the [Key Fragment - Image]?
He thought he had given the sandalwood box containing the key to the authorities as Lin Sen had requested.
According to his reasoning, Wang Qingyun should not be in Jiangcheng at this time.
Instead, he went to Kyoto and handed the items over to that Night Eye.
Surprisingly, the person was still here.
Could it be that he kept it all for himself?
As soon as this idea came to mind, he looked at Wang Qingyun with a strange expression.
but……
He believed he had done a flawless job.
But the person in front of him was Wang Qingyun, the biggest competitor of the Dragon in the previous twelve zodiac signs.
This level of expert...
It made him feel inexplicably uneasy.
This seasoned veteran has an incredibly sharp eye.
After a long while, Wang Qingyun slowly spoke, his voice hoarse and carrying a strange weariness.
"Kid, you've changed."
Chen Yifan's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained expressionless:
People always change.
"No."
Wang Qingyun shook his head and leaned forward.
Those cloudy eyes were now gleaming with a sharp light, as if they could pierce one's soul.
That's not what I meant.
His voice was extremely low, as if he were saying something absolutely taboo.
"Ordinary professionals, even those at level ninety, have impure auras."
"But what about you..."
Wang Jianguo's brows were furrowed tightly into a knot.
"Pure as can be..."
Chen Yifan: "???"
What does that mean?
For a moment, he was bewildered by Wang Qingyun's strange and unusual words.
Wang Jianguo noticed this slight change, and his eyes became somewhat speechless.
So this kid didn't understand his implied meaning!
You're usually pretty smart, aren't you?
Why were you so stupid this time?
He slowly leaned back in his chair, let out a long sigh, and seemed to age ten years in an instant.
"you……"
He stared at Chen Yifan and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Has it strayed onto a 'heretical path'?"
