I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 190 The Sounding of the Horn is a Little Terrifying! Chen Han's New Identity!

The online reversal was so fast that those who disliked or targeted the Chen family were somewhat bewildered.

They were happily criticizing the Chen family, and then this turned into a reversal?
This made their heads itch; they just couldn't understand it. Were these people out of their minds? They got scammed, bought counterfeit goods, and then went and denounced the genuine products?

Seriously, that's the mother of all.

Especially after seeing the video released by the Linhe County Culture and Tourism Bureau, it became clear that the people behind the scenes had been arrested, and even the people who initially voiced their condemnation had been taken away.

They'd never seen such idiots before. Not only did they get all excited for nothing, but they also made them look like clowns.

As one of the distributors of Leizhu Lingcha, Chu Hao naturally kept a close eye on the news online.

He also argued with a blogger called 'The Life of Tea Tasting'.

The other party was the first to release a video criticizing Chen, and it garnered a lot of traffic.

The key point is that the other party is an agent for a high-end tea, which clearly overlaps with the market of Leizhu Ling Tea. Everyone knows what their intentions are.

However, even amidst that previous wave of popularity, he was mocked by the other party.

Seeing this, he didn't hesitate at all. He clicked on the other party's profile, wanting to retaliate with a sarcastic remark under the video criticizing the Chen family: "What do you have to say now?"

When he entered the other party's homepage, he was dumbfounded to find that the other party had already deleted the video.

As for the new video they posted, I really want to yell at them, "They're so shameless!"

A Tea Lover's Life: "After reading the news about the Chen family online, I really have to say that there are too many complicated things on the internet, and everyone must be careful to distinguish between them."

"As for Mr. Chen's experience, I feel very sorry for him. As someone who is also in business, I know very well how it feels when someone buys a fake product and then comes to you for the genuine product. It's really unfair."

"The key is that some people on the internet who are unaware of the situation actually believe one side of the story and criticize Chen. These people really deserve to die. I must severely criticize such people here."

These words, spoken with righteous indignation, are truly moving; he is indeed a man of justice.

"???" Chu Hao was completely dumbfounded.

Does this person have amnesia?
Or is this person insulting themselves?
The crucial point is that the other party's comment section is filled with unanimously supportive comments. Are these commenters brain-dead, or are they paid trolls?
He couldn't help but comment: "Have you forgotten the video you posted before where you were criticizing yourself?"

As soon as he posted that comment, he realized he could no longer see the Tea Tasting Life homepage.

This means I've been blocked.

"Damn, the internet is even more treacherous than capital." Chu Hao was utterly astonished.

What kind of monsters and demons are these?

Honestly, this was the first time he had ever seen someone so shameless as to insult themselves so quickly.

Don't you feel even a little bit embarrassed?

However, this matter is finally over, and it can even further enhance the reputation of Leizhu Ling Tea, which is a good thing.

He also started watching Chen's other videos, and suddenly one video caught his attention. It was that guy named Mingdi again.

It seems that whenever Chen gets a lot of attention, he always manages to get it in a very abstract and unsettling way.

He knew this guy was hired by the Chen family head to generate buzz, but he had to admit that this guy was quite talented.

I'd like to see what kind of video this guy filmed this time, given how high the numbers are.

"I have been infiltrating the Chen family for some time now. Although I have not yet found an opportunity to save the Dog Demon King brothers, I have basically gained some of the trust of the Chen family head."

"But I suddenly realized something was wrong. There was demonic energy left behind in my tracks. This shocked me. It was definitely not demonic energy I left behind. There was a fellow demon lurking around me."

"This won't do. I have to find this guy. I can't let him expose me and implicate me. This kind of careless guy can be betrayed to Patriarch Chen and then we can gain more of Patriarch Chen's trust."

This is clearly a video that Mingdi himself filmed afterward.

Chu Hao didn't think much of it at this point.

It's just a normal video; after all, this isn't the first time they've filmed such abstract videos of horn honking.

But what he saw next stunned him.

"Look, this time, this stupid, weakling demonic cultivator actually dared to try and infiltrate my side..."

Chu Hao stared in astonishment at the demonic figure in the horn-sounding video.

Looks familiar.

He hurriedly opened the video of Linhe County Culture and Tourism Bureau, and it turned out to be the guy who was arrested for selling fake Leizhu Ling Tea.
"???"

Chu Hao sensed that things were not so simple.

Especially when you see the guy selling fake tea in the video shouting at the camera, "How did you find out?"

"When you get close to me!"

When the words "Honk the horn" were spoken, Chu Hao couldn't help but open his mouth.

This……

He couldn't help but open the video's comment section, only to find it filled with exclamations of amazement:
"No, honking your horn is really something else! The police might not even be able to find these kinds of scammers."

"Damn, you sent another one in by honking the horn?"

"Others are just making videos, are you actually sending them to fellow enthusiasts?"

"..."

The more Chu Hao looked at it, the more absurd it seemed.

He even saw that the video quickly became a trending topic, and when he clicked on the topic, he found that quite a few people were trying to ride the wave of the horn's popularity.

One blogger's video even garnered significant attention: "The Chen family has been very popular recently, and this time, due to the Leizhu Ling Tea incident, their popularity has skyrocketed. But seeing the video of the horn being sounded, I was completely stunned."

"Everyone used to say that the head of the Chen family was amazing, that the Chen family had mysterious power, and that people who did bad things at the Chen family would be unlucky. Whoever was unlucky must have a problem."

"This drew astonishment from countless people, but now, thinking back on that honking, no one in Shangyuan Village outside of Chen's village would have been unlucky, yet people were being arrested one after another in Shangyuan Village."

"First of all, there was the case of the prostitution ring last time. We took them all down in one fell swoop. That time, it was this horn that provided the clue."

"Then there's that illegitimate child who was just caught. I heard they recovered a lot of money. This illegitimate child was also caught because of this honking. He was even jokingly called by fans as someone who gives silver bracelets to like-minded people."

"This time, the seller of fake Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea was also discovered by Mingdi immediately. With all these achievements, doesn't it make people realize that Mingdi is actually quite terrifying?"

Chu Hao stared at the video in surprise. It seemed that the horn sounding really did have some merit.

Not only him, but people online were also surprised.

At first glance, the abstract videos didn't seem like much, but now that we've looked at them in detail, it's clear that this is something no normal person could do.

It's impossible for a normal person to send a prostitution ring to jail, or to send a fugitive that the police can't catch and have to issue a warrant for, or to know a fraudster as soon as they get close and end up sending them to jail as well.

The key point is that every time they sound the horn to send someone in, it's just to film a video.

It turns out these criminals were his video material.

Good heavens! We need to keep an eye on this amazing person.

Who knows, some other unlucky soul might get sent in later.

In Shangyuan Village, Mingdi was overjoyed as he watched the constant notifications coming from the backstage.

That's all attention.

The number of fans is increasing rapidly.

By taking the blame for the Chen family head, the benefits will come rolling in.

The key thing is the praise he receives online; honestly, it makes me feel like I'm floating on air.

Wow, he's really good at this.

He himself didn't even know it unless people online told him.

But look, those people connect the three cases, doesn't that make them seem very capable in the eyes of outsiders?
These people have no idea that he was just taking the blame for this whole thing.

While he was still in a daze, the Chen family head had already shifted the blame onto him.

The yellow team hasn't received their banner yet, but Captain Li has said he'd like to give them one.

Honestly, he's not the kind of person who cares about empty fame. At most, he'd hang the banner on the wall behind his livestreaming booth so the audience could see it too.

There was a knock on the door.

Open the door.

Zhu Xueqin entered, her face full of surprise: "Lin Ming, is that you who's being talked about online? Are you really that amazing?"

Mingdi looked at her incredulous, yet somewhat admiring gaze, and smiled broadly: "What else? You have no idea how amazing I am."

The online buzz grew, the negative comments about Chen disappeared, and the situation was completely reversed.

While the demonic cultivator Mingdi became a sensation, the Chen family didn't forget to promote Leizhu Spirit Tea, making it even more popular.

Moreover, Xiaoyu made a special announcement that, apart from purchasing Leizhu Lingcha from their two agents, the only other way to buy it is through Chen's offline channels. There are no other online channels, and even if Chen's people do a live stream, they will not sell this product.

As for why I won't sell it, just kidding, Douyin's commission is really steep.

This trending topic persisted until the next day, quickly climbing the trending list and ranking very high.

The next day, Li Rui, the team leader, came to visit again, mainly to inform them of the case's progress.

Whether out of politeness or because Mr. Chen was also a party to the incident.

"Captain Li, is there any progress in the case?" Chen Han asked as soon as they met.

“Guo Yang’s companion was caught before he could leave, and they took everything.” Li Rui said, then sighed, “Although Guo Yang was interrogated and provided his bank accounts and documents, all the money is gone, it’s all overseas. It’s gotten to this point… sigh…”

Li Rui didn't say anything more, but sighed.

Chen Han understood what it meant; the investigation had likely reached a dead end.

This is also the biggest reason why Huang Xin mentioned yesterday that the case-solving rate for this type of case is only 3%.

Even with the rapid advancements in technology and the increasing number of methods available in modern society, which has led to a higher crime-solving rate, the crime-solving rate for this type of case was only slightly over 8% last year.

But this year it seems even lower, because criminals are also updating their methods.

For example, an uncle might post a video promoting telecom fraud, and then criminals could use AI to impersonate that uncle and commit fraud. It's truly impossible to guard against.

Aside from all that, once the money goes abroad, those who know, know.

It's just a mere million.

Perhaps these two words will offend many people, but compared to those major cases, they really can only be described with two words.

After all, cross-border operations involve very complex procedures, and the law enforcement environment is risky, with the possibility of retaliation and even the availability of support.

Later, issues such as jurisdictional disputes also arose.

Okay, all of that is abstract. Let's be realistic: how many people will go, how long will the trip last, how much will it cost, and who will take responsibility if something goes wrong.

Let's see who in the area is willing to sign this document.

Even if no one in the city or province would be willing to sign this document.

Going out once costs a lot of money. If the person can't be found, then the money is wasted. And if something goes wrong, we will have to bear a lot of responsibility.

However, none of this has anything to do with the Chen family, since the Chen family has already been cleared of wrongdoing.

"We will also hand over Guo Yang's case to another department to keep a close eye on it. If his accomplices outside come back one day and are discovered again, we may be able to keep them in check."

As Li Rui spoke, he took out another notice and handed it to Chen Han: "Patriarch Chen, this is the notice of handling Mi Shou. Please sign it here so I can make a receipt."

He doesn't actually need to handle this kind of thing, but the same thing can be handled differently by different people, so it's important to be flexible.

"Okay!" Chen Han nodded.

This concludes the matter, and it has no further connection with the Chen family.

Li Rui chatted for a couple more minutes before leaving the Chen family, but Chen Han did not receive a notification that the game mission was completed.

Logically speaking, it should be completed now. Are we supposed to wait for Guo Yang's accomplices to be caught?
Isn't that a long way off?
That shouldn't be the case, since the game system only mentioned the Yinshan Sect members who infiltrated the Chen family, but those people didn't actually infiltrate the Chen family.

Fortunately, in the afternoon, Chen Han received a game notification that the mission was completed:

Congratulations! You have eliminated the Yinshan Sect demonic cultivators lurking within the Chen family, thwarted their schemes, eliminated any negative impact on the family, and even enhanced the family's reputation.

Furthermore, while disposing of the demonic cultivator's corpse, the family obtained a special magical artifact from it: a fragment of the Illusion Mask!

Congratulations! You have obtained the magical artifact, the Illusion Mask (Fragment)!

Chen Hanzhen was surprised.

The demonic cultivators of the Yinshan Sect brought considerable negative impact to the Chen family, but unexpectedly, they also gifted them a damaged magical artifact.

He immediately looked at the game inventory and saw the description of the Phantom Mask:

[Illusion Mask (Fragment): This is a magical artifact from the Yinshan Sect. Although it has no offensive capabilities, it is a treasure used for concealment and disguise. Activating the artifact can activate the mask's illusion effect. However, because the illusion was destroyed during your battle with the Yinshan Sect expert, it is now incomplete. It only has the illusion effect and cannot simulate aura, energy, or other functions.]

Chen Han understood. In the game's storyline, the experts from the Yinshan Sect used this magical artifact to impersonate members of the Chen clan, causing a terrible impact on the Chen clan.

However, seeing the effect of the notes also made him curious about this illusionary mask.

With a thought, the illusionary mask appeared in his hand. It was completely black and covered with special runes.

He immediately channeled his true energy into the illusionary mask, and in an instant, black light appeared on the runes on the mask.

The black light flowed upwards along his arm, covering it and rapidly spreading throughout his body. What happened next left him speechless.

This magical artifact is pretty amazing!
