Me! A disgraced celebrity! Starting by seeking justice for impoverished students.

Jing'an Road Police Station, Dongning City.

Above the gray gate, the national emblem hangs in the center, giving a sense of unspoken authority.

Jiang Chen and Lin Wan quickly walked up the steps and pushed open the glass door.

In the lobby, a young policewoman sat behind the duty desk, her head down as she organized materials.

Hearing the noise, she turned her head to the side, revealing a clean and neat face, her gaze still on the documents in her hand.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

Jiang Chen stepped to the front of the stage and said calmly, "I need to call the police; someone is missing!"

The policewoman nodded and calmly picked up her pen: "Please state the basic facts."

"The missing person is named Lin Xuyang, male, 18 years old, a freshman at Dongning Teachers College."

"Since this morning, my phone has been switched off, I haven't been replying to WeChat messages, and I haven't been able to contact me since."

Jiang Chen spoke methodically.

While taking notes, the policewoman asked earnestly, "What is your relationship to him?"

"I'm his lawyer!"

The policewoman looked up at Jiang Chen, and was about to ask another question when she suddenly paused.

"Huh!???"

She stared at Jiang Chen's face for two seconds, and her originally calm eyes suddenly turned to joy.

Even his tone became excited.

"You...you are Jiang Chen?"

Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

The policewoman's eyes lit up instantly, but her professionalism allowed her to quickly suppress her emotions.

She cleared her throat and said with a smile, "I've seen your video, the one about... how to eat a panda reasonably!"

Jiang Chen's lips twitched slightly, and he looked away.

Why can't she look at something good?

Lin Wan, standing nearby, looked anxious and quickly said, "Sister, my brother has really gone missing! He's never done this before! Please, please help me!"

Since she had seen Jiang Chen's live stream videos, she naturally knew that Jiang Chen was going to help someone with a lawsuit.

The policewoman nodded: "Please wait a moment, I'll go get the captain!"

This is something that is no longer within my control.

She strode into the office inside and knocked on the door.

"Team Leader Wang, someone outside has reported to the police that a student from Dongning Normal School has gone missing."

A middle-aged man in his forties was holding a teacup and looking at documents when he glanced up and asked, "A student is missing? Have you contacted the school?"

This is Wang Anquan, the captain of the Jing'an Road Police Station.

The policewoman, who knew the inside story, hesitated for a moment before continuing.

"Captain Wang, the person who called the police is... Jiang Chen."

Wang Anquan frowned: "Who?"

"It's that video that's been going viral online today. Even though he's a disgraced celebrity, he said he'd help a poor student with a lawsuit over a scholarship. That student is at Dongning Normal University!"

Years of law enforcement experience made him realize that things were not so simple.

He put down his teacup, picked up his phone, and quickly searched for something.

Seeing the online uproar, Wang Anquan's expression changed; he realized that this matter was extremely sensitive!

If handled improperly, it could result in damage to one's reputation!

"What's that student's name?" Wang Anquan asked seriously.

"I haven't been able to contact Lin Xuyang since this morning."

Wang Anquan remained silent for a few seconds, then stood up.

"Notify the field patrol team to respond; I'll go myself!"

"This matter...must be handled properly!"

He didn't say the reason aloud, but everyone knew it.

Jiang Chen is currently live-streaming across the entire internet, and many people are paying attention to this.

If something really happens to this student and the police are slow to respond... the consequences would be unimaginable!

Fifteen minutes later, two police cars stopped in front of Dongning Teachers College.

Jiang Chen, Lin Wan, and a group of police officers got out of the car.

The school gate is an impressive electric retractable gate, with a security guard booth next to it.

The main gate was closed, with only a small side door for people to pass through.

As Jiang Chen walked to the side entrance, a security guard reached out and stopped him.

"Wait a minute, who are you looking for?"

With just a glance from Wang Anquan, a police officer stepped forward and showed his identification.

"police!"

"We're looking for a student from your school named Lin Xuyang!"

The security guard glanced at the ID, but didn't immediately move aside. Instead, he said slowly, "Oh...looking for a student?"

"You need to register first. Show me your identification documents; I need to record them!"

The police officer frowned: "We're responding to a call; we don't need to take notes!"

The security guard chuckled awkwardly: "It's the rule... the school has a rule that all visitors must register!"

"Please wait a moment, I'll go get the registration book!"

He turned and walked into the guard post, but did not take the registration book.

He rushed to the landline and dialed a number.

The call was answered quickly.

The security guard covered the microphone, lowering his voice to a whisper: "Old Li, the police are at the gate, looking for that student surnamed Lin..."

The security guard made two "uh-huh" sounds after saying something on the other end of the phone before hanging up.

Jiang Chen glanced sideways and saw this scene.

At the same time, he also scanned the security guard's direction with his phone.

Upon seeing this scene, the live chat exploded!

Wait, what's that security guard doing? He's on the phone!

I saw it! He hit me while covering his mouth!

[Who are you calling? School leaders?]

[Holy crap! This is tipping someone off! Jiang Chen, did you record it? Doesn't this count as evidence?]

[This is definitely tipping someone off!]

It seems Lin Xuyang is really in trouble; this is no joke!

Jiang Chen turned his head and looked at Captain Wang in the middle of the police officers: "Captain Wang, please hurry up, the longer it takes, the less safe it will be!"

Wang Anquan also sensed something was wrong and gave him a look.

Several police officers stepped directly through the side door and went inside.

"No need to register, let's go in now!"

The security guard's expression changed, and he rushed out of the guard booth, wanting to stop him but not daring to.

All I could do was follow behind and shout, "Hey, you can't just walk in like that!"

"..."

at the same time.

The school clinic, the innermost cubicle on the second floor.

This cubicle isn't used much; the windows are closed, the curtains are drawn, and the lighting is dim.

Lin Xuyang sat in a chair, his hands pressed on his knees, his knuckles turning white from clenching them.

Across from him sat a man in his forties.

He was wearing black glasses and a dark jacket.

It was Lin Xuyang's counselor, Zhou Haibo!

"Xuyang, I'm telling you this for your own good."

"Think about it, it's not easy for a poor student like you to get into university."

"What good will it do you if this gets blown up?"

Lin Xuyang bit his lip and remained silent.

Zhou Haibo leaned forward slightly, his tone becoming more gentle.

"I can't do anything about the scholarships. The school has its own considerations, and adjusting the quotas is a normal procedure."

"Your roommate... his family is genuinely facing difficulties. Don't be fooled by his car; it's borrowed from a relative!"

Lin Xuyang looked up, his eyes a little red: "But he said it himself, his family owns a company..."

"Kids don't always listen to what they say, don't take it seriously!"

Before Lin Xuyang could finish speaking, Zhou Haibo waved his hand, interrupting him.

"I'm telling you, this matter ends here."

"Go back and study hard, and I promise I'll give you priority consideration for the next scholarship."

He paused, his tone turning serious.

"However, if you continue to cause trouble and let outsiders get involved, it will damage the school's reputation..."

"Then you'd better think carefully about the consequences!"

Lin Xuyang's heart tightened.

He was indeed worried that things would escalate and he would be unable to handle the situation.

Zhou Haibo thought he had him figured out and chuckled.

"The school's reputation is related to the future of every student, and you are also a member of this school."

"If your actions cause negative publicity for the school, affecting enrollment and evaluations."

"If the school investigates, you'll face legal consequences; expulsion will be the least of your worries!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuyang's body trembled slightly.

He finally got into university, and now he has to drop out...

Just as he was at a loss, there was a sudden, urgent knock on the cubicle door.

"Teacher Zhou, Teacher Zhou!"

The door opened, and a security guard stood outside, his face pale.

"What's wrong?"

For some reason, Zhou Haibo had a vague sense of unease.

"Police have arrived at the school gate!"

"They've come... to see him!"
