I'm in Love Apartment, and the system is making me cultivate immortality.

The emergency room of a hospital near the school.

Gu Yifan rushed over, followed by Ziqiao and Teacher Zeng.

As soon as I entered the emergency room, I saw Xia Xingchen and Erxi waiting outside the resuscitation room.

The two women's faces were filled with panic and worry. Xia Xingchen pursed her lips tightly and twisted her hands nervously together. Erxi's eyes were red and swollen, clearly she had just been crying.

"Stars, Erxi!"

Upon seeing Gu Yifan, the two women quickly stood up.

"Brother Yifan, you're here!"

"Hmm." Gu Yifan's gaze swept over the closed emergency room door. "How is Xinling?"

"The doctors are still inside trying to save him."

Erxi's voice was choked with sobs as she wiped her eyes.

Beside her, Xia Xingchen paused almost imperceptibly, a hint of panic flashing across her face, before slowly walking over, her voice somewhat low.

"Brother Yifan, have you seen that post?"

Gu Yifan nodded, his eyes filled with suppressed anger.

"Yes, I've seen it."

Seeing Xia Xingchen's hesitation and self-blame, Gu Yifan softened his tone and comforted her.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this quickly."

Gu Yifan had indeed underestimated the impact of this matter. He thought it was just a boring rumor that could be clarified with a statement.

Ms. Hu has gone to the school to communicate with the school leaders.

Given Ms. Hu's personality and influence, Gu Yifan believed she could stabilize the situation.

at this time.

The door to the emergency room clicked open.

The doctor came out, and all of them turned to look at him.

Gu Yifan quickly stepped forward, "Doctor, how is the patient?"

The doctor removed his mask, his face showing a hint of fatigue but also a relaxed expression. "Are you a patient's family member?"

“Yes, I’m her brother,” Gu Yifan said immediately.

The doctor nodded. "The patient is now out of danger. She must have had related surgery before, right? She recovered very well after the surgery, and the hospital visit was very timely."

Hearing this, Gu Yifan breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he has been using his spiritual power to help Cyndi recover.

The doctor continued, "The patient's vital signs are currently stable, but he has not yet regained consciousness and needs to be transferred to the observation ward for further monitoring."

"Given her current condition, she needs to rest absolutely and cannot be subjected to any further stimulation."

Gu Yifan nodded in agreement.

"Let's go and complete the hospital admission procedures and pay the fees first."

"Okay." Gu Yifan thanked her and took out his wallet, pulled out his bank card and handed it to Teacher Zeng.

"Teacher Zeng, could you please help me pay the fee?"

"No problem, leave it to me." Zeng Xiaoxian took the card, turned around and quickly left.

After Teacher Zeng left.

Xia Xingchen finally couldn't help but walk up to Gu Yifan, her head bowed, filled with guilt.

"I'm sorry, Yifan, it's all because of me. If it weren't for those photos, Xinling wouldn't be here."

Gu Yifan shook his head, interrupting her earnestly, "This has nothing to do with you. Xingchen, you are also a victim. It was the poster who had ulterior motives."

Seeing that Gu Yifan didn't blame her, Xia Xingchen's tense nerves relaxed a little, but she still asked with a worried expression.

"Brother Yifan, what should we do now?"

Xia Xingchen, a freshman in college, was clearly flustered by what happened.

Gu Yifan's face was as cold as frost.

At first, he didn't really take it to heart.

But now, Cyndi Wang suffered a heart attack and was in mortal danger, which has crossed his bottom line.

Is the guy behind this mess thinking he can't find anyone?

"Don't worry, I'll handle it." Gu Yifan didn't say anything more.

But Zi Qiao, standing to the side, inexplicably felt a chill run down his spine.
Just then, Teacher Zeng returned the card to Gu Yifan and asked with great concern, "Yifan, did you offend someone?"

Gu Yifan narrowed his eyes, his brain working at a rapid pace.

He raised his hand and beckoned to Ziqiao beside him.

Ziqiao immediately came over, his face unusually serious, "Old Gu, just let me know if there's anything I can help with."

"How's your online army going?"

Gu Yifan asked directly, explaining that he had previously asked Ziqiao to set up an online troll team in order to keep Ziqiao in line, and also because he recognized Ziqiao's natural talent for using the internet.

I originally wanted to help the company deal with negative news, and now it's my chance to put my skills to good use.

"We need your help now. Mobilize your people to guide public opinion on the forum, muddy the waters, and post some clarification messages to prevent the negative voices from overwhelmingly in favor of the other side."

Upon hearing this, Ziqiao immediately patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry! Leave this to me, I guarantee I'll complete the task! I'll go contact Xiao Hei right now."

After saying that, Ziqiao walked to the side, took out his phone and started frantically making calls and sending messages.

Gu Yifan took out his phone again, found Zhanbo's number, and dialed it.

The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.

A groggy voice came from the other end of the line, "Hey, Brother Gu?"

Paris is several hours ahead of here in terms of time difference.

"Zhanbo, wake up, it's urgent." Gu Yifan said succinctly, "Your sister, Xinling, and I have been the target of malicious rumors."

"What?!" Zhanbo on the other end of the phone instantly snapped to attention, his voice rising, "What happened?"

Gu Yifan kept it brief and simply told Zhanbo the whole story.

"Is there any way to find out the identity of that anonymous poster?"

"An anonymous post?" Zhanbo's voice became much more serious.

"I'll give it a try! The security level of the campus forum shouldn't be very high. I'll see if I can find a vulnerability to crawl in and check the backend logs."

"But it will take some time."

"Yes, let me know if you have any news."

"Leave it to me! I'm getting up right now!" Zhanbo hung up the phone in a flurry.

Gu Yifan was reassured; he believed that Zhanbo would be able to find out the other party's identity.

I had just finished making the call when the door to the emergency room opened.

Xinling was wheeled out of the hospital bed by a nurse and transferred to an observation ward.

On the hospital bed, Xinling lay quietly, her once beautiful and pitiful face now pale and bloodless.

His eyes were tightly closed, his brows were furrowed even in his unconscious state, and his smooth forehead was covered with a fine layer of cold sweat.
At this moment, Cyndi was as fragile as a porcelain doll that would shatter at the slightest touch.

It's heartbreaking and makes you feel sorry for them.

Seeing Xinling like this, Gu Yifan felt another surge of anger rise in his heart.

That guy is dead meat.

He said it!
Even Jesus couldn't stop him!
"Erxi, Xingchen," Gu Yifan suppressed his surging anger.

"Please take care of Xinling for now. Call me if anything happens."

"Don't worry, Brother Yifan, we will definitely take good care of Xinling!" Erxi quickly assured him.

Gu Yifan turned and walked out of the ward into the corridor.

He needed to calmly consider who this guy hiding in the shadows really was.

The post was published on the campus forum, and the content only involved his personal life and school, without mentioning the company or Wanyu at all.

This shows that the other party is clearly not his business competitor.

Therefore, the scope can be narrowed down to schools.

It is highly likely that this was done by a student.

Gu Yifan rubbed his chin, frowning as he thought.

He doesn't go to school often, except for the period of military training at the beginning of the semester when he spends more time there.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't have much interaction with most of his classmates, let alone any deep-seated hatred.

But the other party not only knew him, but also took photos of him with Yifei and the others.

This suggests that the perpetrator may not only have known the person, but may even have been an acquaintance who committed the crime.

Gu Yifan immediately thought of Lin Xiangyu and the others, but he quickly dismissed the idea. He had always had a good relationship with Lin Xiangyu and the others, especially Xie Xun. Lin Xiangyu and Guan Chao were not the type to stab someone in the back.

Just as Gu Yifan was deep in thought, a system notification sounded in his mind.
Your influence in Binhai City is gradually expanding, which has already affected the interests of some local powers!

[Your strength and influence in Binhai City are gradually growing, beginning to encroach on the living space of the original powers in Binhai City. A greater malice is beginning to spread towards you and the fairies!]

Today, rumors and gossip about you and the fairies have been circulating in Tongji Academy.

The public outcry quickly spread from Tongji College!

This is clearly a deliberate attack on you. The frail and talented Cyndi Wang has even fallen into a coma because of it. A conspiracy is closing in on you. Please find the mastermind behind this and punish them severely!

[Completing the task will reward you with: True Immortal Breakthrough Pill, sensory sharing with your teammates, new title rewards, etc.]

[The True Immortal Breakthrough Pill can help the user break through cultivation bottlenecks and increase lifespan!]

[Sensory Sharing Link: Allows for brief one-way or two-way sensory sharing with a designated teammate]

[Hint: You can try using your beast-taming ability to assist in the investigation]

The system had a task, but Gu Yifan didn't understand.

Even if the system doesn't issue a task, he will never let this mastermind get away with it.

However, I noticed the last sentence of the prompt.

A sudden thought flashed through Gu Yifan's mind, and he suddenly remembered that school had just started at the beginning of the year.

When he went to pick up Xinling, Xiao Shiwan's skill [Malicious Perception] was indeed triggered when the two left the girls' dormitory building.

But soon there was no further news, and Gu Yifan didn't investigate further. Now, looking back...

This is no accident!

Gu Yifan pondered silently, and already had the answer in his heart.

the other side.

Accounting Department, a freshman male dormitory.

The curtains on the balcony were only half open, making the dormitory room dimly lit.

A boy was sitting at a desk on the lower bunk near the door.

Cao Guang's face was illuminated by the light from his laptop, and the lenses of his glasses reflected the constantly scrolling forum posts on the screen.

He was calmly and skillfully browsing the comments criticizing Gu Yifan.

"They haven't responded yet, they must be feeling guilty!"

"The school definitely has to deal with this morally corrupt scumbag!"

"Everyone be careful, the school might delete these posts."

Seeing these comments, Cao Guang couldn't help but smile smugly.

He typed furiously on the keyboard and replied with another message.

"Even more exciting news at 5 PM, stay tuned!"

At the same time, Cao Guang muttered to himself.

"Gu Yifan, you've finally met your match! I'd like to see what you're going to do now!"

That's right, the person who posted the message was Cao Guang, Xinling's classmate.

The feud between Cao Guang and Gu Yifan didn't start overnight.

Since Cao Guang invited Xinling to a party after the end of last semester's final exams, but she declined,

He just didn't like Gu Yifan.

Cao Guang was, after all, a renowned scholar with excellent grades and a good family background. His inherent pride made it impossible for him to accept losing to Gu Yifan.

What happened on the first day of school completely ignited the flames of jealousy in Cao Guang's heart.

Cao Guang bumped into Xinling at school. His roommates, knowing that Cao Guang had feelings for Xinling, egged him on, urging the class monitor to go up and say hello.

Cao Guang confidently stepped forward to talk to Xinling, but Xinling's attitude towards him was lukewarm, and she only responded politely with a few words.

But not long after he turned and left...

Then Gu Yifan appeared.

Cao Guang clearly saw that Xinling, who had originally been calm, showed genuine joy upon seeing Gu Yifan.

It's like night and day.

From that moment on, Cao Guang set his sights on Gu Yifan, his jealousy growing wildly like weeds.

During this period, he had been secretly and openly digging into everything about Gu Yifan.

They were trying to find some dirt on him.

It must be said that the driving force of jealousy is boundless.

Although Gu Yifan rarely appeared at school, Cao Guang persisted and managed to take quite a few photos of him.

These facts further solidified Cao Guang's opinion.

This Gu Yifan is a hypocrite who plays with women's feelings, a scumbag!

This anonymous post was Cao Guang's carefully prepared fatal blow.

A commotion came from outside the door.

Cao Guang quickly moved the mouse and closed the forum interface.

"Kang Dang"

The dormitory door was pushed open.

The other two roommates walked in, carrying a basketball and covered in sweat.

"Hey, Cao Guang, you're out of bed. Is your cold any better?"

One of my roommates asked casually and turned on the light.

Cao Guang didn't go to play basketball, citing a cold as the reason.

"Much better," Cao Guang replied, adjusting his glasses.

He didn't tell anyone about this.

The feeling of manipulating everything from the shadows made Cao Guang both excited and somewhat uneasy.

"It's getting hotter and hotter, summer is really coming." Another roommate complained, walking to the balcony and opening the curtains on the other side.

Bright sunlight streamed into the dormitory.

The roommates started chatting, and the topic naturally turned to the post that was trending all over the school.

"Hey, do you guys think Gu Yifan is really that kind of person? He doesn't seem like it."

"On the other hand, if I had his face and his money, I'd be juggling multiple relationships too."

"Go to sleep, you can have anything in your dreams."

Listening to his roommates' comments, which were half envious and half teasing, Cao Guang felt secretly pleased.

No one would suspect him.

The dormitory door was pushed open again, and another roommate returned, carrying books, looking like he had just come back from the library.

As soon as he entered, his face was filled with barely suppressed excitement. He lowered his voice mysteriously, "Guys, breaking news! Absolutely breaking news!"

The two roommates, who were changing clothes, were intrigued. "What news?"

My roommate, who had just returned, had her eyes shining. "You guys all know about that post on the forum about Gu Yifan, right?"

"Tch, I thought it was something special." The two roommates scoffed. "You don't need to tell me."

"No!" the roommate waved his hand, saying mysteriously, "The important part is later!"

"I just passed by the girls' dormitory, and guess what I saw?"

"What did you see?"

Cao Guang appeared indifferent, but involuntarily pricked up his ears.

The roommate kept it a secret, but was eventually scolded by the other roommates before he continued.

"I saw an ambulance parked in front of the girls' dormitory!"

"A few girls from our class were there too, so I just asked casually, and guess what happened?"

He paused deliberately, building up the anticipation, before speaking slowly and deliberately.

It's Cyndi Wang!

"I heard from them that Cyndi Wang fainted after seeing the post because she was so emotionally agitated!"

"what?!"

"Holy crap! Is this true?"

The other two roommates were shocked.

Cao Guang, who was sitting in front of the computer, felt a buzzing in his head when he heard this, and hurriedly got up.

"What did you say? Xinling fainted?!" (End of Chapter)
