"This article is really popular, whether it's on the forum or Weibo," Xu Yiman said. "After all, the video of the suicide just came out yesterday, and this article followed closely behind. The heat of this incident hasn't died down yet; I fear the reading numbers will only increase from here."
Jiang He continued scrolling through the comments below the article, which were a mix of opinions.
"This guy is such a fool. He's a college student and still jumps off a building for love. His brain must have been kicked by a donkey."
"There are so many green tea bitches like this; I don't understand why guys like them."
"We have someone like that in our dorm who thinks she's better than everyone else."
"I'm in the same class; I know who you are now, haha. L is pretty nice, but Y really isn't worth anything. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know Y was being supported by someone."
"Why doesn't Y just go die?"
"Y should accompany L in death. If I were L's parents, I'd just kill Y and let her accompany my son in death."
"The girl's name is Wang Yedan, a sophomore in Class 941 of Long City University majoring in Financial Management. Don't ask how I know; just call me Lei Feng."
Jiang He kept scrolling down and found that most of the onlookers were fiercely criticizing Wang Yedan. It felt as if they wanted to tear her apart.
"It looks like we need to hold a press conference. No one expected the case of Luben's suicide to cause such an uproar, and these onlookers are easily swayed by the media. Remember the campus bullying case? In Xiao Xuanmiao's case, what people saw first is what they easily believed."
Xu Yiman nodded and said, "How could we forget? How many kids have been driven to death by online violence? But Xiao Xuanmiao has also disappeared; six months ago, she was preparing to shoot a movie, and now there's no news about her online at all."
Jiang He suddenly said, "The principal of Fourth Middle School and I both know that netizens have memories like goldfish—only seven seconds long. Back then, I didn't understand that."
Shao the Elder said, "Have Captain Liu prepare; we need to take the initiative to clarify things early and crush these rumors in their cradle."
As the project team members prepared to hold a press conference to clarify rumors about Wang Yedan and prevent online violence from driving her to despair, an unaware Wang Yedan was sitting alone in the self-study classroom designated for Class 941. After Wang Kun left, Teacher Zhao called an emergency class meeting within half an hour, gathering all the students of Class 941 together.
No one sat next to Wang Yedan; she was alone at the front of the classroom.
She wasn't well-liked among the girls, and now with this incident happening, even the boys who used to sit beside her because of her beauty had vanished.
Everyone knew why this class meeting was being held; everyone knew Luben had committed suicide because of Wang Yedan. The classroom was silent, with only occasional students entering through the back door looking for a place to study, only to find everyone sitting quietly and frozen in place, scaring them into quickly retreating.
The class monitor spoke to Teacher Zhao, "Everyone is here, Teacher Zhao. We can start now."
Teacher Zhao nodded.
She slammed her hand on the table, causing the metal surface to resonate sharply. "Today, I must sternly criticize a student. What has happened is truly a disgrace to our class, and it makes me feel embarrassed. If it weren't for the fact that I still see you as part of our class and recognize how difficult it is for you to come to school from so far away, this matter would be even more serious."
"From now on, you are stripped of all scholarship and financial aid qualifications. You cannot participate in any class activities and will receive a major demerit. If you make any further mistakes in the future, you will be expelled without any chance for negotiation. You have two years left; I hope you can cherish this..."
"That's too lenient," Zhang Jun interjected. "After all, it's a matter of life and death."
"Indeed," the others from Dorm 618 chimed in, encouraged by Zhang Jun.
"Too lenient, is it?" Teacher Zhao nodded and continued, "Alright then, if you fail any subject in the future, the issuance of your Degree Certificate will be immediately canceled. Do you understand, Zhang Jun? If you fail again in this exam, don’t expect to receive your Degree Certificate."
Zhang Jun clearly hadn't anticipated that Teacher Zhao's focus would suddenly shift to him. He protested, "Teacher, you've got it wrong; it's not about Wang Yedan..."
"What about Wang Yedan?" Teacher Zhao replied sharply. "This is about you. Not only did you slander your classmates and spread rumors about Wang Yedan, but you also tried to deceive me with those lies. It's truly despicable. Fortunately, I trust Wang Yedan's character and conducted a thorough investigation; otherwise, you would have succeeded in your deceit."
Teacher Zhao scoffed, "Look at your Dorm 618; not only do you fail to study properly, but now you've also lost your integrity. Do you even have any shame? By the way, monitor, is Zhao Yan on this list for financial aid?"
"Yes," the monitor replied. "Zhao Yan's family is struggling; she has already been approved."
"Strike her name off," Teacher Zhao ordered. "She will no longer be on this list. As punishment for her wrongdoing, her spot will go to Wang Yedan. I'll observe her performance next year; if she continues spreading rumors about Wang Yedan, she can forget about receiving any support in the future."
Zhao Yan was taken aback that this incident had affected her as well and burst into tears, clearly distressed.
Teacher Zhao huffed disdainfully, "Look at you—a country bumpkin coming from a village—aren't you just jealous of others? Enough with the nonsense. Luben's decision to take his own life has nothing to do with anyone else. Luben is just like Zhao Yan; both are from rural backgrounds and cause nothing but trouble."
"Alright," Teacher Zhao concluded. "Let's wrap up this class meeting here. One last time: Luben took his own life because his family couldn't afford his education; it has nothing to do with your rumors. If I hear anyone spreading rumors in this class again, none of you will receive your Degree Certificates."
"Oh right." Teacher Zhao stepped out of the room briefly before returning to address everyone again. "From now on, Wang Yedan will be the Vice Class Leader as well; she will also receive a spot as an active participant. Meeting adjourned."
With that, Teacher Zhao strode out of the room confidently.
No one expected that today would end up like this. They had all prepared themselves to watch Teacher Zhao harshly criticize Wang Yedan during the class meeting, anticipating how the beautiful girl would cry like a rain-soaked pear blossom. However, no one could have predicted that Teacher Zhao's ire would be directed at Zhang Jun and Zhao Yan instead.
Zhao Yan was still crying in her seat, and those around her didn't dare to comfort her.
Wang Yedan sat at the front, not even glancing back at her classmates. She stood up and left the classroom directly. It wasn't until Wang Yedan had departed that everyone began to voice their complaints.
"Has Teacher Zhao gone mad?"
"Wang Yedan is toxic."
The insults came in waves but didn’t last long. Soon, everyone else left, leaving Zhang Jun and Zhao Yan, who was still sobbing in her seat. It was none of their business, and Wang Yedan had no idea what forces were behind Teacher Zhao's sudden change of heart.
Zhao Yan suddenly sat up straight. She looked at Zhang Jun and said, "No way! Why does Wang Yedan get to have everything? She's so pretty, rich, and well-liked. I refuse to accept it! I won't let her have it easy."
With that, Zhao Yan stormed out of the classroom, slamming the door behind her, leaving Zhang Jun sitting there in a daze.
A figure pushed open the door to the City Public Security Bureau; it was Captain Liu. He spoke up, "Old Shao, we've already debunked the rumors online. There will be a press conference tonight, and I will also make an appearance to clarify things."
Old Shao nodded.
Captain Liu continued, "Besides that, there's some good news."
"Did you find the phone?" Old Shao asked.
Captain Liu nodded and replied, "I hadn't even told you yet."
Old Shao smiled and said, "This is our only lead. If there's any good news, it must be this."
Captain Liu nodded again and pulled a evidence bag from his pocket. Inside was a black smartphone. From its appearance, it was cracked and seemed unusable.
Placing the phone on the desk, Captain Liu explained, "When Luben jumped off, he must have had the phone in his pocket. But during the fall, it flew out of his pocket and landed in an open window on the fourth floor, crashing onto the staircase there."
"Before retrieving it, I had the Forensic Science Division check for fingerprints and found that those on the phone matched Luben's. We confirmed that this should indeed be Luben's phone."
Old Shao opened the evidence bag and took out his mobile phone. He said to Guan Deng: "Can you retrieve all the information in this mobile phone?" Guan Deng nodded and answered. Came over the phone. Under Guan Deng's instigation, in about an hour, all the data in the broken mobile phone had been transferred to the computer. Apart from some photos and apps, there are no useful clues. The words in the QQ records are the same as those of Zhang Jun and others. This point Zhang Jun and others did not lie. But if Luben really felt frustrated and jumped off the building because he believed that Wang Yedan was being kept, then the person who killed Luben was really not Wang Yedan, but the people in the 618 dormitory. "When is the last call?" Old Shao asked. Guan Deng adjusted the time and found that the last call was hung up at the last second before Luben fell. And this is to say, everything is as Old Shao guessed. Luben standing upstairs could not see who was getting out of the car downstairs, nor did he happen to fall into the police station by chance. in the car. That is to say, someone is secretly controlling Luben and controlling him to jump off a tall building. And this person must be Criminal Consultant. "Check this number." Old Shao said to Guan Deng: "The person behind this phone call is probably Criminal Consultant."
