Xiao He was completely unaware that Officer Xiao Li had inexplicably developed a 'criminal' filter for him because of the last incident.

Upon seeing Officer Xiao Li, he was rather pleasantly surprised: "I ran into something, just finished dealing with it.

Officer Xiao Li, are you heading back to the police station?"

However, the misunderstanding continued to unfold, and Xiao He's words were automatically 'corrected' in Officer Xiao Li's ears—

Ran into something — committed a crime and got caught.

Just finished dealing with it — just got released.

"Ah, the fact that he could still be released indicates it wasn't a major offense."

Officer Xiao Li sighed regretfully, raised his hand, patted Xiao He's shoulder, and said earnestly, "What's done is done.

Let it be a warning, and be more careful in the future.

Focus on your acting and live a good life.

I'll be going now, see you later—no, I hope we don't meet again next time."

Xiao He: "? Okay, okay?"

Wait!

Why does it feel like something is off?

However, Officer Xiao Li had already left in a hurry.

Xiao He was just about to call out to Officer Xiao Li to explain clearly when Li Zhicheng finished his conversation and walked out.

Seeing the distant figure in the blue uniform, Li Zhicheng's eyes slightly darkened, carrying a trace of imperceptible resentment and vigilance.

"You know the police?" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

He looked at Xiao He, his expression showing a kind of shock that suggested, "You betrayed everyone."

Xiao He: "...Who betrayed?

Who's on your side?

I'm an upright citizen!

I never do bad things!"

"No, how did this Li Zhicheng match me?

Could he really think I'm one of them?"

While shocked, Xiao He also unexpectedly found this matter quite reasonable.

His own 'criminal aura' was so strong that even the police couldn't help but suspect him, so it was normal for Li Zhicheng to suspect he was one of them—so this guy couldn't possibly think he was also eyeing Li Hanyue, could he?

Xiao He was mortified.

He didn't want to be 'one of them' with this guy at all!

Never mind, as soon as he got back, he would quietly report this guy.

Xiao He believed that once the police received the tip, they would thoroughly investigate.

He refused to believe that this person truly had no flaws whatsoever...

"Oh, him, my good brother," Xiao He said deliberately, "Our relationship is really good.

He just heard I had a small problem here, so he came to check on me."

—Although he and Officer Li had only met twice so far, Xiao He didn't even know his name.

But that didn't stop Xiao He from trying to fool Li Zhicheng.

Indeed, Li Zhicheng's expression became a bit more serious, and the look in his eyes when he saw Xiao He gradually changed.

Xiao He, however, didn't explain, but instead said, "Then I'll be going now.

Goodbye, Uncle Li."

"Shall I see you off?" Li Zhicheng probed.

"No need."

Xiao He quickly hailed a taxi and returned to school.

Li Zhicheng, on the other hand, stared at Xiao He's departing back, his fingers lightly tracing, and the ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) killing intent in his eyes fully emerged.

"I originally wanted to choose that bitch..."

The man muttered in a hoarse voice.

"But..."

What could be more challenging than 'I' killing 'another me'?

-

After taking a taxi back to his dorm, Xiao He first tidied up his belongings.

He lived in a four-person dorm with a bunk bed and desk setup, and an en-suite bathroom, which was considered a relatively good amenity in a public university, and everyone was quite satisfied with their living situation.

However, since everyone in their senior year was out on internships, Xiao He was currently the only one living in the dorm.

Xiao He first took some time to do a quick clean, then ordered takeout and ate at his desk, finally opening his computer.

Surprisingly, the celebrity named Ran Yunrui actually had some fame online, and the news of his car accident was now causing a huge stir on the internet.

Thinking of the guy who used profanity as punctuation, Xiao He's curiosity was piqued, and he followed the trending topic to observe.

This Ran Yunrui had starred in two popular idol dramas, and it was recently rumored that he was participating in the production of a major IP idol drama at the Film and Television Base, playing the male lead, which many of his fans were eagerly anticipating.

As a result, with the car accident news breaking, fans immediately exploded, and videos from the scene were flying everywhere.

Marketing accounts also seized this opportunity to jump around online, escalating the matter.

Xiao He clicked on the video to view it and found that there were two main videos circulating online.

One was footage of car debris left at the scene after a rear-end collision, but it didn't show the condition of the vehicles, leaving endless room for imagination.

The other was a video of Ran Yunrui lying on a stretcher, being pushed into an ambulance.

The most outrageous part was a bunch of chat records obtained from who knows where.

One of these chat records was supposedly from an insider, as for how 'inside', that naturally couldn't be disclosed—anyway, this insider claimed that the driver who rear-ended the car was actually hired by a sasaeng fan, and had been tailing Ran Yunrui for several days.

Ran Yunrui had tried to get rid of him several times before, but it was no use.

This time, in an attempt to escape the sasaeng's pursuit, the two cars unexpectedly rear-ended each other.

Now Ran Yunrui was still in the hospital, and his condition was unknown.

It was truly too unlucky...

"Great, these are absolutely authoritative chat screenshots, so it seems we have to believe them.

Brother must have suffered immense grievance!"

Upon seeing these chat records, fans didn't hesitate and immediately believed them completely.

"My goodness, are sasaeng fans really this arrogant now?

Are they directly staging 'Fast & Furious'?"

"Can't we really be rational about idol worship?

This is simply too terrifying!

Boycott sasaeng fans!"

"Wuwu, I hope Brother Yunrui is okay!"

"Ah ah, what does this sasaeng look like?

Did anyone film the scene?

It's really infuriating.

If I meet him offline, I'll kill him!"

"I hope I can exchange ten years of my life for Brother Yunrui's successful surgery, please, wuwu..."

Xiao He watched, dumbfounded.

"Big socks, is this still Chinese?"

No wonder they had to pay for silence at the time.

It's likely that Cheng Hongwen, the agent, had already planned this public relations strategy when they were at the traffic management detachment.

It could maximize the benefits of this incident, and also use this opportunity to abuse and consolidate fans, and exclude sasaeng fans—

Xiao He could bet that many of these messages were spread by Ran Yunrui's company itself.

Even those seemingly idiotic guiding comments below were mostly water armies hired by the company.

It's just that the ability to guide public opinion is too powerful.

If he hadn't witnessed all of this firsthand today, he probably would have also believed that Ran Yunrui was on the verge of death, currently in the hospital for emergency treatment.

Xiao He shook his head helplessly.

This is also why many people now have prejudices against Traffic Star (traffic celebrities).

They stir up public opinion, fabricate opposition, and while their professional abilities are not evident, their fans are madly in love with them.

It's just that he wonders what attitude these girls would have if they knew Ran Yunrui used profanity as punctuation...

Xiao He browsed the internet for a while longer, confirming that no videos or photos related to him had been circulated online, before he finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It seemed that Cheng Hongwen and his team had managed to control the situation.

Although they were spouting nonsense, they hadn't brought the conflict to ordinary people like them, preventing fans from cyberbullying them.

Otherwise, Xiao He wouldn't mind having the video of Ran Yunrui cursing broadcast across the entire internet.
