Chapter 202
Gu Ran stared at his phone screen, his fingertips hovering over the forum link for three seconds.
The faint blue light from the screen reflected on his face, revealing no hint of his emotions.
The text message Chen Jing sent was very long, and anxiety bled through the lines.
Gu Ran skimmed it and understood the whole story.
Endure humiliation? Rely on strength to slap their faces?
If it were a simple competition, he would respect Ye Zhenzhen's choice.
But this kind of despicable sexually explicit rumor-mongering had already crossed the bottom line.
Reasoning with rats hiding in the gutter was useless.
Stomping them to death was the greatest mercy he could offer them.
Brother Gu, what are you looking at? Why do you look so awful?
Zhang Qi, who was playing a game, took off his headphones and asked seriously.
Gu Ran did not speak. He opened his dial pad and entered three numbers.
1, 1, 0.
Hello, is this 110? I want to report a crime.
Gu Ran's voice was not loud, but it clearly echoed throughout Dorm 404.
Someone at Qinglin University is publicly fabricating facts on the internet to defame another person. The number of forwards has already exceeded five hundred.
The views have broken ten thousand, causing an extremely severe social impact. I am a family member of the victim, and I request that the police intervene immediately.
Li Ming, who was drinking water, spat it out with a pfft and stared at Gu Ran with wide eyes.
Holy crap? Brother Gu, what happened that it actually reached the point of calling the police?
Gu Ran hung up the phone and replied.
Someone is spreading rumors on the forum.
The two of them quickly opened the forum, and those few bolded and red-highlighted rumor threads instantly caught their eyes.
Two minutes later.
Damn it! Who is this? Their mouth is so foul! You can tell at a glance that sister-in-law isn't that kind of person!
Exactly! Spreading rumors about a girl, this is way too low. Call the cops!
The young man slowly and methodically straightened his collar.
Adults have adult ways of solving things, and one must learn to use legal means to protect their rights. If the school can't teach her manners, the police will.
...
About twenty minutes later, a sharp police siren pierced the tranquility of Qinglin University's afternoon.
A blue and white police car drove directly to the downstairs of the School of Economics and Management's boys' dormitory.
Two police officers in uniform quickly walked upstairs and headed straight for 404.
It was lunch break, and the corridor was full of students peering out curiously.
Who is Gu Ran?
The police officer stood at the door and asked in a businesslike tone.
I am.
Gu Ran stood up.
As the person reporting the case, come back to the station with us to make a statement and assist in gathering evidence.
The police officer glanced at Gu Ran and spoke routinely.
Because it involved gathering evidence for a cyber case, the procedure indeed required the person who reported it to make a trip.
Gu Ran nodded and walked out with a calm expression.
When this scene fell into the eyes of the onlookers who didn't know the truth, it became a completely different story.
Holy crap! Gu Ran was taken away by the police!
The police came directly to his door to arrest him? What did this guy do?
This is going to be exciting. Getting arrested right after school starts, this is a first for our Qinglin University, right?
In the crowd, Qin Zhaoyang held his phone, his hands shaking with excitement.
He had just been smoking in the stairwell, and as soon as he came out, he happened to see Gu Ran getting into the police car.
Click! Click!
He took several photos in a row and immediately sent them to the class and grade group chats.
What goes around comes around! A certain show-off has finally crashed and burned! Awesome job, police!
After sending the message, Qin Zhaoyang still felt unsatisfied.
He looked in the direction the police car was leaving and felt it looked familiar.
Nanshan Station? Isn't that my dad's territory?
Isn't this just throwing himself into the net!
He quickly found an empty corner and dialed his father Qin Weiguo's phone.
Dad! Are you busy? I wanted to ask you something. Did your station just go to our school to arrest a student named Gu Ran?
On the other end of the phone, Qin Weiguo was processing documents and sounded a bit impatient.
There seems to have been a dispatch, what's wrong? Is he your classmate?
Hey, what classmate, he's just a hooligan!
Qin Zhaoyang exaggerated the story.
Dad, this guy usually acts like a tyrant at school. This time he went in, it definitely isn't a small matter. You have to have someone 'interrogate' him properly, absolutely do not let him out easily!
Qin Weiguo frowned.
Alright, I know what to do. Stop staring at others all day, manage yourself well.
Hanging up the phone, the smile on Qin Zhaoyang's face simply could not be contained.
Gu Ran, oh Gu Ran, you've finally fallen into my hands. This time, even if you don't die, I'll make you shed a layer of skin!
...
Meanwhile, in the administration building.
When counselor Su Qing received the news, the thermos in her hand almost fell to the floor.
What? Gu Ran was taken away by the police?!
Others might not be clear, but she knew Gu Ran's background.
That was a privileged figure the principal specifically instructed to look after.
If something happened to him, her career as a counselor would be over.
Su Qing dared not delay and jogged all the way into the principal's office.
Half a minute later, the principal's roar echoed through the corridor.
What do you mean you don't know the reason?! Hurry up and ask! I'll call Old Gu right now!
The principal took a deep breath and dialed Gu Xiangcheng's private number.
County A, Police Chief's Office.
Gu Xiangcheng had just finished a meeting. Seeing the caller ID, he picked up with a smile.
What's wrong, Principal Wang? Did that boy cause trouble in school?
Well... Old Gu, Gu Ran was taken away by the people from the Nanshan Police Station!
What?
Gu Xiangcheng's smile abruptly vanished.
For what reason?
It seems to be related to a cyber case...
Gu Xiangcheng's heart skipped a beat.
No one knows a son better than his father. His first reaction was, did this kid cross some red line while making games?
But he quickly calmed down.
Gu Ran always acted with a sense of propriety; he wouldn't make such a low-level mistake.
Alright, I understand.
Hanging up the phone, Gu Xiangcheng flipped through his phone book.
He directly dialed the number of Li Jianguo, the chief of the Nanning District Public Security Bureau in Qinglin City, who was the direct superior of the Nanshan Police Station and an old comrade-in-arms.
Old Li, I have something I need to trouble you to look into. My boy was just taken away by your Nanshan Station.
I don't know the specific situation, but if he broke the law, you should arrest him and sentence him as required, absolutely no leniency.
Gu Xiangcheng paused, and his tone suddenly shifted, carrying a bit of fierce protectiveness over his own.
But if someone is bullying my Gu family, Old Li, you know my temper.
On the other end of the phone, Li Jianguo knew the gravity of the situation.
Gu Xiangcheng was usually a smiling man, but once he showed this kind of tone, he was absolutely ready to bite.
Old Gu, don't worry about this! We will absolutely enforce the law impartially! I'll investigate right now!
...
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
