Luo Fei walked out of the terminal, took out his phone from his pocket, found Zhou Mingyu's number, and dialed it.

The phone was answered after ringing twice.

"Xiao Luo, you've arrived in Kyoto?" Zhou Mingyu's voice came through the receiver.

"Just got off the plane," Luo Fei said. "Send me the address."

"Okay, I'll send it to your phone right away." Zhou Mingyu paused, "Do you need me to send someone to pick it up?"

"No need," Luo Fei said. "I'll take a taxi myself."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Mingyu sent me an address.

Luo Fei glanced at it and put his phone away.

I arrived at a taxi, opened the door, and sat in the back seat.

"Driver, to the West District."

The driver responded, started the car, drove out of the airport, merged into the traffic, and headed west.

We were stuck in traffic for over an hour.

Luo Fei leaned back in his seat, looking at the scenery outside the window with no expression.

The driver glanced at him several times in the rearview mirror.

The young man hadn't said a word since he got on the bus and stated his destination.

The driver opened his mouth several times, as if trying to say something to ease the tense atmosphere in the car.

But the words stuck in his throat.

The car finally approached its destination. The streets became quieter, the buildings along the roadside became lower, and the trees became denser.

The taxi stopped about 200 meters from the gate.

The driver turned his head, his expression somewhat complicated.

"Sir, we can't go any further. You'll have to get off here."

"it is good."

Luo Fei paid the money, opened the car door, and as soon as he got out, he saw a person standing at the gate.

It was Zhou Mingyu. He wasn't wearing a uniform, just dark civilian clothes, and he was standing next to the sentry post, looking this way.

Upon seeing Luo Fei get out of the car, he immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Little Luo." He extended his hand, a gentle smile on his face. "You must have had a long journey."

Luo Fei grasped his hand.

"Director Zhou, you're too kind."

Zhou Mingyu stepped aside to lead the way.

"Let's go, the commander is waiting for you."

The two walked in side by side, and the guards at the gate stood at attention and saluted.

Zhou Mingyu nodded slightly, continuing his steps.

Luo Fei followed beside him, his gaze sweeping over their surroundings.

The trees are lush and green, the birds sing sweetly, and several gray-white buildings are nestled deep in the greenery.

There was no heavy security as I had imagined, nor were there any staff members coming and going.

But Luo Fei could sense that many eyes were watching him from the shadows.

He didn't look at it intentionally; he just followed Zhou Mingyu forward.

After passing through a small grove of trees, we arrived at a three-story building.

Two young men were standing at the door.

He was dressed casually and stood ramrod straight.

Seeing Zhou Mingyu and Luo Fei approach, the two nodded slightly without saying a word.

Zhou Mingyu pushed open the building door.

"please."

Zhou Mingyu led Luo Fei up to the second floor.

Arriving at the door of a reception room, the wooden door was ajar.

Zhou Mingyu walked over and gently knocked on the door.

"Commander, Comrade Luo Fei has arrived."

A voice came from inside the door.

"Please come in."

Zhou Mingyu pushed open the door and stepped aside to let Luo Fei in.

The room was very bright.

The windows face south, and sunlight fills the entire room.

Luo Fei entered the reception room.

The room was small and simply furnished.

A wooden coffee table, a few sofas, and a landscape painting hanging on the wall.

An elderly man was sitting on the sofa.

His hair was gray, his face was thin, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.

It's the same face that frequently appears in the news.

Elder Long.

He was holding a cup of tea when he saw Luo Fei come in. He put down the teacup and stood up.

"Comrade Xiao Luo." He smiled and extended his hand.

Luo Fei quickly stepped forward and grasped his hands.

"Greetings, sir."

"Sit down," Elder Long gestured to the sofa. "Don't be shy, just treat this as a casual chat."

Luo Fei sat down on the sofa, and the leader sat down opposite him.

Zhou Mingyu didn't come in; he gently closed the door, leaving only the two people in the room.

Elder Long looked Luo Fei up and down with a gentle gaze.

"Younger than I expected," he said.

Luo Fei didn't reply, but simply lowered his head slightly.

"I've seen your case," Elder Long continued. "The matter in northern Myanmar was handled very well."

"And that prescription," he paused, "can save many people."

"On behalf of the country, thank you."

Luo Fei raised his head.

"You flatter me, sir." His voice was not loud, but very steady. "It's what I should do."

Old Master Long smiled.

"It's what we should do," he repeated. "It's easier said than done."

"Many people believe that capable people should do things for the country."

"But they forgot that whether they're willing to do it or not is another matter."

He looked at Luo Fei.

"You were willing, and you did it."

Luo Fei remained silent for a moment.

"I have family and friends, and I hope that the place where they live will get better and better."

Elder Long nodded.

"Simple and sincere."

The two chatted for almost half an hour.

Elder Long asked very detailed questions, and Luo Fei answered very steadily.

There was no deliberate attempt to please, nor any deliberate avoidance.

It's like a junior chatting with an elder.

Half an hour passed quickly.

A soft knock came from the door.

A staff member peeked in and whispered, "Sir, you have a meeting in ten minutes."

Old Master Long nodded and stood up.

Luo Fei also stood up.

"Comrade Xiao Luo, if you need anything, you can directly contact Zhou Mingyu."

"The nation will not forget anyone who has made a contribution."

Luo Fei bowed slightly.

"Thank you, sir."

Old Master Long patted him on the shoulder, turned around and walked out of the reception room.

He turned to look at Zhou Mingyu at the door.

"Mingyu, give Comrade Luo a proper welcome and don't neglect him."

Zhou Mingyu immediately stood up straight.

"Yes, sir."

Zhou Mingyu looked at Luo Fei, who came out next.

"Comrade Luo Fei, let's go first..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

His cell phone vibrated in his pocket.

Zhou Mingyu frowned slightly.

He took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and saw it was a call from the duty room.

He answered the phone.

"it's me."

A hurried voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Director Zhou, there's something going on."

Zhou Mingyu frowned.

"explain."

"Someone is investigating Mr. Luo Fei's information."

Zhou Mingyu's eyes suddenly sharpened.

"Last time it was his uncle-in-law, who is it this time?"

"They're from Brilliant Entertainment."

"Find out their intentions."

"Yes."

Just as I was about to hang up, the other end spoke again.

"Director Zhou, there's one more thing."

"explain."

"Videos about Mr. Luo Fei have appeared online, but the content has been edited and distorts the facts."

"The online public opinion is escalating very quickly, and Mr. Luo is being cyberbullied."

"Understood. I'll handle it."

Zhou Mingyu's gaze darkened.

He hung up the phone.

He turned to look at Luo Fei.

Luo Fei was looking around when he noticed Zhou Mingyu's gaze and turned around.

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Mingyu walked to his side.

"Someone is checking your information."

Luo Fei's expression didn't change much.

"oh."

Zhou Mingyu paused for a moment upon seeing his reaction.

"In addition, some videos about you have appeared online, edited and distorting the facts. You are being cyberbullied."

After listening, Luo Fei remained silent for two seconds, then asked a question.

"Is it because of what happened at the airport?"

Zhou Mingyu nodded.

"It should be."

Luo Fei thought for a moment.

"There was indeed a minor incident at the airport just now."

Zhou Mingyu looked at him.

"Can you tell me about it?"

Luo Fei's tone was indifferent.

"When I was leaving the airport, I encountered a celebrity. There were many fans there, blocking the passage. His bodyguard pushed aside passersby and even shoved a mother holding a child, who almost fell. I wasn't walking fast, and the bodyguard even tried to push me."

Zhou Mingyu's eyes narrowed.

"and then?"

Luo Fei looked up at him.

"Then I knocked him flying."

Zhou Mingyu was stunned.

"...It flew away?"

Luo Fei nodded.

"They knocked down that celebrity and a group of people."

"I didn't make a move; my shoulder just twitched when he touched it."

Zhou Mingyu was silent for a few seconds, then looked at Luo Fei with a complicated expression.

"Was the bodyguard seriously injured?"

"It must be quite heavy," Luo Fei replied casually.

Zhou Mingyu took a deep breath.

He took out his phone and saw the video.

The title is very eye-catching.

"Shocking! Xiao Ze attacked at the airport! Bodyguard seriously injured! The assailant escaped unscathed! Is this a distortion of humanity, or a decline in morality!"

In the video, the footage is shaky, screams are deafening, bodyguards are thrown out, and a group of people are knocked down.

Luo Fei stood there, looking down, then turned and left, the camera following his retreating figure.

The video already has over 100,000 comments.

Top comment:

"Doxx him! He must pay the price!" The post received over 300,000 likes.

Second most popular comment:

"I feel so sorry for Xiao Ze! Hugs to my brother! May the person who hit him die!" The post received over 200,000 likes.

Third most popular comment:

"No matter the reason, hitting someone is wrong! Support Xiao Ze in defending his rights!" (Thumbs up: 100,000)

Scroll down further.

Occasionally you can see a few different ones.

"Wait, why do I see the bodyguard pushing someone first?"

"I saw it too. That person was standing still. Could it be a staged performance?"

"If the bodyguard struck first, wouldn't that be considered self-defense?"

But the comments below these posts were all filled with insults.

"Get out, you clerk!"

"How much money did you receive?"

"Xiao Ze is so kind, how could he possibly cause trouble! That person must have provoked him first!"

"Support Xiao Ze! Cyberbully him!"

After reading it, Zhou Mingyu put his phone away.

"I'll handle this."

Luo Fei glanced at him.

"No need for that."

"What's the trouble?" Zhou Mingyu said calmly. "You belong to the country. If someone touches you, they are touching the country."

He took out his phone, dialed a number, and the call was quickly connected.

"Minister Li," Zhou Mingyu said, "I need to trouble you with something."

A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Director Zhou? What's the matter?"

"Brilliant Entertainment," Zhou Mingyu said.

There was a pause on the other end of the phone.

"Brilliant? What happened to them?"

"Xiao Ze, one of their artists," Zhou Mingyu said, "was shoved by his bodyguards at the airport today."

"Then they released edited videos, distorted the facts, and incited fans to cyberbully passersby."

"Minister Li, you need to arrange a meeting with their boss about this matter."

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone.

"Director Zhou, aren't you making a mountain out of a molehill?"

Zhou Mingyu said in a serious tone, "Old Long just met that passerby who was cyberbullied."

The person on the other end of the phone gasped.

"Understood. I'll contact Brilliant right away and have their boss come over in person."

Zhou Mingyu nodded.

"Thanks for your hard work."

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Luo Fei.

"Alright."

"Someone will talk to Huihuang."

Luo Fei looked at him.

"Director Zhou, thank you."

Zhou Mingyu waved his hand.

"What are you thanking me for?"

"What is this little thing compared to what you have done for the country?"

He paused, then took out an invitation from his pocket and handed it to Luo Fei.

"This is the invitation to tomorrow's press conference. Let's go, let me arrange your accommodation first."

Luo Fei accepted it and nodded.

The two walked out of the small building.

The sun is still shining brightly outside.

The shadows of the trees swayed gently, and the birds sang sweetly.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of Brilliant Entertainment.

The boss, Zhang Hongwei, was sitting in his office, legs crossed, drinking tea.

His phone suddenly rang, and he glanced at the caller ID.

Minister Li of the State Administration of Radio and Television.

Zhang Hongwei quickly put down his teacup and answered the phone.

"Minister Li! Hello! What are your instructions?"

Minister Li's voice came from the other end of the phone, neither warm nor cold.

"Mr. Zhang, there's something I need to ask you."

Zhang Hongwei's heart tightened.

"Please speak, please speak."

"That Xiao Ze from your company," Minister Li said, "what exactly happened at the airport today?"

Zhang Hongwei was stunned.

Airport?

"Minister Li, I'm not aware of this yet. I'll look into it right away..."

"No need to know," Minister Li's voice deepened. "I'll tell you now."

"His bodyguard shoved passersby at the airport; the person he shoved was someone who had just met Elder Long."

Zhang Hongwei nearly dropped his phone, his face turning pale instantly.

"Minister Li..."

"Don't explain to me," Minister Li said. "Come to the broadcasting station right now."

"immediately."

The call was disconnected, and Zhang Hongwei stood there, holding his phone, stunned.

Three seconds later, he suddenly stood up and rushed towards the door.

"Someone come here!"

"Find out where that bastard Xiao Ze is right now!"
