Chapter 50 If apologies were effective, what would be the point of laws?

When Zhang Zihao heard Chen Shuyuan say, "I have nothing to do with him," he felt very conflicted.

Although he knew this was Chen Shuyuan's way of extricating herself, it still hurt him deeply.

At that moment, for some reason, Ye Chen's earlier words inexplicably came to mind.

Is Chen Shuyuan really a jinx?

In the month since they officially started dating, he has encountered numerous setbacks...

"Wait a minute, I saw you were getting quite close to Zhang Zihao earlier!" Wang Jinshan suddenly said.

Chen Shuyuan froze, quickened her pace, and tried to pretend she hadn't heard and leave quickly.

Seeing this, a policeman rushed over and grabbed Chen Shuyuan, saying, "You also need to go back and cooperate with our investigation!"

Those around them couldn't help but point and whisper when they saw this.

In the common perception, being taken away by the police means you must be a bad person.

This couple must have done something illegal!

"Sigh, so young, what a pity, not learning good things!"

"Isn't that the young master who donated 20 yuan in front of the main building?"

"Heh, looks like the money came from illegitimate sources!"

"He probably got arrested because he was too high-profile!"

......

The people nearby were whispering among themselves.

Ye Chen was sitting and watching a program when Chen Muyan crouched down and quickly walked towards him.

"Senior Ye, Principal Lin is looking for you backstage!"

Ye Chen was somewhat puzzled: "Looking for me? What do you want?"

"I don't know, there are a few police officers there, it seems like something happened!" Chen Muyan was a little nervous.

Ye Chen frowned and began to think.

He doesn't seem to have done anything wrong, so why are the police looking for him?

Could it be an inquiry about the origin of gold?

this......

Although Ye Chen's gold came from a legitimate source, no one would believe him if he told them about the system, so he couldn't say anything.

Ye Chen had thought about this issue a long time ago.

Anyway, he hasn't done anything illegal or disorderly, so he's definitely not afraid of being investigated.

If someone investigates further, all that can be said is that it's a family heirloom.

If things get really bad, we can just use his grandfather as a cover!

Ye Chen had already come up with a reason.

His grandfather treated and saved countless lives throughout his life. By chance, he saved a very wealthy man, who gave him some gold as a token of his gratitude!

That makes perfect sense, doesn't it?!

Moreover, Ye Chen also pays taxes, and he is upright and honest.

The thought flashed through Ye Chen's mind, and he had already begun to mentally prepare his speech.

"Let's go take a look!" Ye Chen also got up and crouched down to leave!

Ye Chen and Chen Muyan arrived backstage and met Principal Lin, asking in confusion, "Principal Lin, you wanted to see me?"

Upon seeing Ye Chen, Vice Principal Lin introduced the police officer standing beside him to Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, you're here! This is Officer Huang, the person in charge of this online public opinion case!"

Ye Chen was completely confused. What was this "online public opinion case"? He couldn't understand it at all.

Seeing Ye Chen's bewildered expression, Vice Principal Lin took the initiative to give a brief account of what had happened.

Ye Chen took out his phone and entered the live stream room of Binhai University, only then realizing what was going on.

Goodness, it turns out he was just being led astray.

Ye Chen had also worked at Zhonghai Technology, so he knew some of the tricks of the internet.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been appreciated by his superiors.

"Which account started this whole thing first?" Ye Chen asked, frowning.

At this moment, a technical police officer next to the computer spoke up: "It was someone with the ID 【𦭜想䒵䒵爱你】 who first posted a similar message, but she was banned after posting 3!"

Ye Chen was slightly taken aback upon hearing this; the ID felt both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar.

Isn't this the alternate account he registered back then?

He registered this account for Chen Shuyuan a few years ago. If he hadn't heard the name again, he would have forgotten that he even had this alternate account.

It's quite obvious who the mastermind is.

Ye Chen instantly guessed the gist of the matter. The person who could find the culprit so quickly was undoubtedly Chen Shuyuan.

No wonder Chen Shuyuan sent him that kind of message.

The source of our feelings is here!

Just then, Zhang Zihao and Chen Shuyuan were brought over by several police officers.

The lead officer cut to the chase, handing them several screenshots from the internet: "Tell me, why did you do this?"

Zhang Zihao looked at the screenshot, somewhat bewildered: "I...I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Hmph, hiring online trolls to stir up trouble and cause significant negative impact, do you know that this constitutes the crimes of provoking trouble and defamation?" The lead officer stared coldly at Zhang Zihao.

Zhang Zihao was even more confused. What online trolls? What was this about stirring up trouble? He couldn't understand a word of it.

Ye Chen then spoke up calmly, "The officer might really not know anything. You should ask his girlfriend next to him."

Chen Shuyuan had her head bowed low. When she saw the screenshot of the live stream handed to her by the police, she understood what had happened.

It turns out that Zihao didn't get into trouble; it was her side of the problem.

The only thing she couldn't understand was, was it really necessary? Huh? Was it really necessary?

Isn't it just about stirring up trouble?

The police came knocking so quickly? Are they really that serious?

She used to stir up trouble and nothing happened to her!

And why were the police able to find us so quickly?

She didn't lead the rhythm of those later events.

Even if they wanted to investigate, they probably wouldn't be able to trace it back to her.

Chen Shuyuan forced a smile and spoke in a trembling voice, "Ye Chen, I... I don't know what you're saying!"

Ye Chen chuckled lightly: "Xiang Zizi loves you, this account looks familiar, doesn't it? Isn't this the alternate account I registered for you a few years ago? I didn't expect you to still be using it!"

"I don't know what nonsense I'm spouting!" Chen Shuyuan said, opening her profile page: "Look carefully, my ID is Yuanyuan!"

"Heh, I already said it's an alt account. Anyone can switch accounts!" Ye Chen sneered.

A policeman quickly grabbed Chen Shuyuan's phone.

Chen Shuyuan's hand loosened, and she tried to snatch it back, but it was too late.

"What are you doing? Give me back my phone!" Chen Shuyuan said anxiously.

The lead officer reached out and stopped Chen Shuyuan.

"Captain, there really is an identical alternate account here!" the policeman said, opening the login page.

The lead policeman looked at Chen Shuyuan with icy eyes.

His sharp eyes seemed to see right through a person's heart.

A person with a slightly weak will would definitely not be able to stand being looked at like that.

That's the eye of a veteran criminal investigator with decades of experience.

Chen Shuyuan's legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

"Yes, I did say a few inappropriate things, but they were reasonable questions. I can apologize, that should be enough!" Chen Shuyuan knew she couldn't deny it now, so she chose to let it go.

She wanted to get her phone back as soon as possible, as it contained her chat history with Heima Technology.

If this is also exposed, then it won't be as simple as just an apology.

"Apologize? Heh, if apologies were useful, what would be the point of laws?" Ye Chen said indifferently.

"Ye Chen, I was silenced after saying just two words. What more do you want from me?" Chen Shuyuan said stubbornly.

"Stop beating around the bush. You hired those online trolls, didn't you? Do you know how badly you're damaging the school's reputation?!" Ye Chen sneered.

"Hiring online trolls to stir up trouble, commit crimes such as defamation, slander, and extortion carries a minimum sentence of five years. Do you think a simple apology can solve everything?"
