When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 43 Wanted: The Invincible Scoundrel

That afternoon, in the same villa courtyard, the sun was still shining brightly, but Director Qi felt that the light was a bit too dazzling.

He watched the surveillance footage from Fang Zhenyang's hospital room for the third time and asked calmly, "Are you sure it was an accident?"

"We've already examined him with a mental energy testing device, and there were no traces of mental energy, so we can basically rule out the possibility that Fang Zhenyang was subjected to mental interference. According to Xiao Liu, who is also in the ward, Fang Zhenyang did indeed fall from the building accidentally."

Captain Li swallowed hard as he spoke, “Afterwards, I tried to get Fang Zhenyang to cooperate with the investigation by claiming that Bai Ze had frightened him, but he refused.”

The only connection between Bai Ze and Fang Zhenyang's death is that Bai Ze deliberately frightened Fang Zhenyang, which led to Fang Zhenyang's excessive fear, attempt to escape by jumping out of the window, and ultimately his death.

That's all.

If it were an ordinary person, this matter might be worth discussing, but unfortunately, Bai Ze also has powerful backers.

And right now, the biggest blame doesn't lie with Bai Ze, but with Qi Chengjun.

This son of Director Qi is the prime suspect in this case.

An investigation confirmed it was an accident, but those who heard the piercing scream at the hospital at the time did not believe it was an accident.

This is clearly Qi Chengjun disregarding human life and attempting to frame someone.

How can the son of a deputy director of the public security bureau dare to do such a thing? Is there any justice in this world?

Qi Fangwei didn't even need to look to know that the internet was already in an uproar.

The previous police dog controversy hadn't even died down, and now this has happened. It's truly one problem after another, which is really damaging to his future.

"A petty thug is just a petty thug." Qi Fangwei couldn't help but sigh.

What's the difference between Fang Zhenyang scaring himself to death?
Even among the petty thugs Qi Fangwei had met in the past, this kind of person was one of a kind.

"Chengjun, you and Captain Li should go to the Public Security Bureau to cooperate with the investigation," Qi Fangwei said, rubbing his temples.

"Dad," Qi Chengjun called out.

“It’s just a statement, it’s not like you’ll go to jail,” Qi Fangwei said. “Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.”

Qi Chengjun is at most a suspect, not necessarily the murderer. However, a trip to the police station is still necessary, and that must be followed.

Previously, using Fang Zhenyang to annoy Bai Ze was completely legal and compliant; if the other party interfered and sabotaged it, then it would be a violation. The same applies now; sending Qi Chengjun to the Public Security Bureau is also legal and compliant; refusing to go would be a violation.

Not to mention Qi Chengjun, even Qi Fangwei is in a real bind right now.

He turned off the surveillance camera, opened the local news, and the first thing he saw was "Shocking! Son of Deputy Director of Public Security Bureau Suspected of Murder".

Within just two hours, the news spread online and almost made the headlines.

The opponent's counterattack came quickly and fiercely, and Qi Fangwei probably wouldn't have time to deal with Bai Ze for the time being.

'It seems the old man values ​​Bai Ze quite a bit.' Qi Fangwei stared intently at the news.

······
······
"The former principal valued me highly."

Back in his ward, Bai Ze was also browsing the news. "It's trending so quickly. Qi Fangwei's old scandals have been dug up. I don't believe the old principal didn't push for it."

Furthermore, Qi Fangwei and the former principal, who had previously maintained a relatively harmonious relationship in the hospital, have now launched a full-blown media war, indicating that their conflict is completely irreconcilable.

Bai Ze was being targeted not because Qi Chengjun and Fang Zhenyang, the school bullies, couldn't tolerate such a powerful person at No. 3 Middle School, but simply because Bai Ze was now on the old principal's side. "Indeed, with great benefits comes great risks. Unless you're invincible, you'll always have enemies, even if they're inexplicable."

Bai Ze made a brief remark, then stopped paying attention.

This level of risk is well within acceptable limits.

He's just a deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, not some powerful figure with seven or eight stars.

Besides, Bai Ze doesn't even need to deal with Deputy Director Qi Fangwei; theoretically, he only needs to discipline Qi's son on behalf of his senior. As for the rest, he naturally has powerful backers supporting him.

Now that my dear senior Qi is under attack from public opinion, I can focus on the competition with peace of mind.

He turned on his phone and logged into the forum.

Bai Ze missed the opening ceremony of the Youth Cup Hidden Dragon Tournament. Judging by the time, the preliminary rounds should be halfway through by now.

Although there are a large number of participants, StarNet is fully capable of handling tens of thousands of battles simultaneously, so the preliminary rounds can be completed in just one day, and the elimination rounds will begin tomorrow.

Bai Ze logged into the forum to see which contestants were worth noting in the preliminary rounds.

As soon as I entered the forum, I saw the pinned and featured post: "Wanted: The Invincible Scoundrel Ye Yusheng Fan".

[Fist to Fist]: Brothers and sisters, this time in the Youth Cup, that scoundrel Ye Yushengfan will definitely participate. Now, I am taking the lead and issuing a wanted notice. The key points of the wanted notice are: sword, sword-drawing skills, and a sweet tongue. Whoever can find this guy's true identity will be given ten points by me personally.

【亭亭净植】: Count me in, I'll sponsor five points.

[Fist Master]: To prevent the "Sheathless Sword Drawing Technique" from falling into the hands of those with ulterior motives, this competition is conducted under real names. This means that the despicable Night Rain Sound will definitely show his face. Fellow victims, revenge is at hand! Charge!

[My dreams at night are filled with soaring dragons and clouds]: 20 points sponsored by a private sponsorship, let's go! I found Night Rainy Night in person and ripped his hood off the ground.

[Single Dogs Ate Your Rice]: Charge! Catch the scoundrel, rip off his hood!
Bai Ze: "..."

Good news: Bai Ze's disguise was very successful, and no one has discovered that his words have become law.

The bad news: it was a bit too successful, and the hatred level was raised a bit too high.

Although the Key Youth Cup is held on the StarNet, participants must use their real names and real identities.

We can't just end the competition and have the host announce that the champion is 【冬冬寄寄真冷】, and congratulate him on becoming the number one young talent in Dongxia.

Or perhaps the final winner will be someone wearing a pink bunny headgear...
If such a scene were to occur, the Martial Arts Association would have to apologize to all the citizens of Dongxia.

"I think I was a bit too unrestrained before, and I didn't expect to attract so many sore losers."

Bai Ze looked at the post, which had already reached nearly a thousand replies, and clicked his tongue in amazement.

The players, including Quan Quan Dao Rou, had the StarNet notarize the process and put all the bounty points into the points pool. They have now accumulated 300 points.

Countless netizens were drawn in by the points bounty, and once they were scattered, they could keep up with the numerous matches, not to mention that the number of matches decreased as the competition progressed.

Unless Bai Ze stops using "Wandering Clouds Startle the Dragon", his exposure is only a matter of time.

Since that's the case...
Bai Ze stroked his chin and sent a private message to the "King of Mouths".

【Night Rain Sounds Annoying】: Are you there?

【Night Rain Sounds Annoying】: I have something good to tell you. I'll earn points, and you get 30% of them. How about it?
