Chapter 176 One Announcement, Public Execution! Zhou Kai is Finished.
Chen Yifan's finger stopped on the mouse wheel.
On the screen, the bold, official title exuded a chilling aura that seemed poignant and destined to end everything.
He clicked on it.
There is no unnecessary embellishment, and no ambiguous wording.
Only the cold, formulaic official documents, like steel, carry immense weight.
[Announcement Regarding the Investigation Results and Handling of the "Panlongshan Mountain Gathering Incident" in the "June 7 College Entrance Examination Practical Assessment"]
[Based on the principles of prioritizing education and supplementing it with punishment, and upholding the fairness and impartiality of the college entrance examination, and in accordance with the "Regulations on Higher Education Enrollment Examinations in China" and the "National Code of Ethics for Young Professionals," the following decision is made:]
[I. Nature of the Incident: This incident was caused by candidate Zhou Kai, who, after eavesdropping on and maliciously misinterpreting jokes made by other candidates' teams, actively instigated and organized a large number of candidates for personal gain, ultimately leading to a large-scale vicious conflict.]
II. Clarification of Facts: Through cross-referencing and verification of surveillance video, it was confirmed that candidate Chen Yifan was in a passive defensive position throughout the incident, and all his actions fell within the scope of "legitimate self-defense." The online claims of "cheating to boost scores" and "brutal murder" are malicious defamation.
III. Handling Decision:
[1. Candidate Chen Yifan: ...His behavior was the trigger for the incident, but not due to malicious intent in spreading it. Punishment: 5 points deducted from his personal conduct score.]
[2. Candidates Lin Xiaoyu and Wang Fugui: They cooperated in self-defense throughout the incident and did not violate any rules. Decision: No punishment will be imposed.]
[3. Candidate Li Shaoqing: Believed and spread false information, affecting 231 people... Punishment: 20 points deducted from personal conduct score.]
[4. Candidate Lu Renjia: Believed and spread false information, affecting 97 people. Punishment: 10 points deducted from personal conduct score.]
[5. Candidate Zhou Kai: After eavesdropping on other teams' internal information without any verification, he sought personal gain...]
They maliciously misinterpreted and actively spread false information to nearly 10,000 candidates in the examination room on a large scale, inciting them to spread misinformation...
He is the sole person responsible for the collapse of the examination room order and the large-scale vicious conflict.
Instead of reflecting on their actions afterward, they posted malicious messages and manipulated public opinion, which seriously violated the ethical bottom line for professionals.
They exhibit strong antisocial tendencies and pose a potentially significant risk to public safety.
Action taken: All scores from this year's college entrance examination will be cancelled, a major demerit will be recorded in the student's academic record, and the student will be placed on the "key observation list" of the Dragon Kingdom's security system for a period of five years.
For five years, they will be prohibited from participating in any form of professional qualification certification or higher education entrance examination.
【…】
[This is an official announcement!]
Jiangcheng Education Bureau
[Dragon Kingdom College Entrance Examination Inspection Team (Jiangcheng)]
[Joint Seal]
……
The announcement was scathing in its wording.
The logical chain is airtight, revealing the ins and outs of the entire event clearly, leaving no room for doubt.
This is no longer a decision to be made.
This is a public sentencing report on Zhou Kai based on irrefutable surveillance evidence.
He's finished.
My life is over.
Chen Yifan closed the announcement page and crossed his arms.
This time, it seems the Education Bureau is determined to protect him...
He can imagine it.
That manifesto post is now being completely drowned out by countless angry and mocking comments.
Those self-proclaimed righteous keyboard warriors are frantically deleting comments they left not long ago, fearing that the resounding boomerang will slap them in the face.
buzzing...
The phone vibrated violently, and the three large characters "Wang Fugui" flashed wildly on the screen.
"Fanzi! Holy crap! Did you see it?! Did you see it?!"
The moment the call connected, Wang Fugui's roar, like a volcanic eruption, burst out, making Chen Yifan's eardrums ache.
"Those bastards! Hahahaha! Their faces are practically smashed!"
"Eavesdropping! Malicious misrepresentation! The sole person responsible! Hahahaha, this is hilarious! This is worse than killing him!"
"Fanzi, the Education Bureau went way too far this time! They've completely exposed him!"
His voice was filled with the purest, unadulterated excitement and an almost blind adoration for Chen Yifan.
"He's just a clown, it's not that serious."
Chen Yifan's tone was calm and even, as if he were stating a trivial matter.
Zhou Kai's fate was indeed tragic.
But it was his own choice.
Attempting to provoke the authorities and manipulate public opinion... if you don't die, who will?
"This is not serious? The forum is in an uproar! Zhou Kai deleted that post criticizing you and ran away, but the administrator restored it, pinned it, locked it, and publicly executed him! Tens of thousands of comments are tagging him, demanding he come out and show himself!"
"oh."
"..."
Wang Fugui on the other end of the phone was speechless for a long time after hearing that light "oh".
His pent-up emotions, built up over a long period of time, were like a powerful punch that landed heavily on cotton.
"Fanzi, aren't you... a little bit excited?" Wang Fugui couldn't help but ask.
Why get so agitated?
Chen Yifan countered with a question.
He wasn't really excited. Ever since the Shadow Fiend incident, he had a clear understanding of the official stance.
This understanding is different from that of his previous life, and he cannot apply it to the official image of this life.
If you perform poorly during the college entrance examination period.
The final punishment would definitely not be what it is now.
Wang Fugui fell completely silent.
He suddenly understood.
The difference between myself and Chen Yifan has never been talent or ability.
It's about perspective.
While I was still basking in the glory of winning a war of words.
Fanzi's gaze may have already crossed the small pond of "Jiangcheng" and been cast towards a distant place that he could not even imagine.
"Alright, go to bed early. The results will be out in two days."
Chen Yifan hung up the phone, and the room returned to silence.
He leaned back in his chair, gazing at the deep, boundless night sky outside the window.
In this enormous cage called "Civilized Farm," who isn't the next victim?
What he needs to do is become stronger.
I hope that one day I will be able to protect myself.
……
Meanwhile, in an ordinary residential area in Jiangcheng.
Zhou Kai's home was in a complete mess.
Broken pieces of a vase were mixed with food scraps on the floor, and a brand-new sofa had been ripped open with a sharp object, revealing ugly cotton wadding.
Zhou Kai's father, a middle-aged man who was usually well-dressed, now had bloodshot eyes and slapped Zhou Kai's face hard, one slap after another.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
The crisp sound of a slap echoed through the messy living room.
Zhou Kai's mother slumped onto the cold floor, her sobs already hoarse.
Zhou Kai, like a broken puppet whose bones and soul had been emptied, let his father's slaps fall on his face.
His eyes were empty, devoid of any spirit.
His cheeks were swollen, and thick blood seeped from the corners of his mouth.
He couldn't feel any pain.
His world died the moment the announcement was made.
He doesn't understand.
Why?
Why is this happening?
He just wanted to reclaim the fairness that belonged to him, and he just wanted to expose the inside story. What did he do wrong?
Why did I end up being the one nailed to the pillar of shame, becoming a foolish, vicious, and universally reviled sinner?
"You unfilial son! You unfilial son!"
Exhausted from beating him, Zhou's father's chest heaved violently as he pointed at Zhou Kai's nose, trembling with rage.
"Do you know how much money our family spent to send you to college? Now it's all gone! All fucking gone!"
"A list of people under close observation... Do you know what that means?!"
"That means your life is ruined! Wherever you go, you'll be seen as a potential criminal! Your life will be stained with a mark that can never be washed away!"
Zhou Kai's body finally reacted.
He slowly raised his head.
In those empty eyes, thin lines of blood were rapidly spreading across the whites of the eyes, like a spider web.
There was no regret.
There was no fear.
It was a kind of resentment that arose from the ruins when one was driven to the brink of despair, the purest and most profound kind of hatred.
"List……"
"one……"
"Fan..."
"official……"
"square……"
"Good! Good! Good!"
He chewed on the name, one word at a time, in a voice that only he could hear, as if squeezed out from the depths of his throat.
"I won't... just let it go like this..."
