Chapter 22: Ding Bowen Acquitted, Gathering Information

Liu Rong immediately burst into tears and recounted the story with exaggeration:

"Director Che, now that Jia Ren's case has been suspended, that means the accusation against my Bowen is invalid, right?"

Luo Yong said with a stern face, "Liu Rong, don't delude yourself!

"All the messages in Ding Bowen's information terminal are his communications with Jia Ren. The evidence of him harming his classmate is conclusive!"

Liu Rong looked pitifully at Che Yongyuan, who adjusted his glasses and said with a smile:

"That's not quite right. Principal Luo also can't prove that Ding... Bowen, right?"

Liu Rong hurriedly nodded, and Che Yongyuan continued:

"You can't prove that Ding Bowen was in contact with a so-called criminal.

"Maybe it was an online friend named 'Jia Ren.'

"Killing and such, it's just online games, indulging in a bit of verbal fantasy—what's the crime in that, right?

"Looking at it this way, Ding Bowen might be involved in crimes related to invasion of privacy and selling personal information.

"He should be fined or face administrative punishment, right?"

Looking at Chu Feng and the other two, as well as the overjoyed expressions on Liu Rong and Ding Bowen's faces, he chuckled:

"Of course, that's just my personal suggestion.

"This case has nothing to do with me, nor does it relate to the purpose of my visit.

"It's just that, well, I'm too kind-hearted.

"I simply can't bear to see such a poor mother and son suffer undue harm!

"Principal Luo, Director Wang, you won't blame me for being nosy, will you?"

Liu Rong was thrilled beyond words, immediately grabbing his hand in excitement:

"Thank you, Director Che, for showing us the way!

"Right, now that Jia Ren is no longer a fugitive, what does our case have to do with him?"

She grabbed Ding Bowen, who was trying to suppress a laugh, and with her nostrils flaring at Chu Feng and his companions, she said aggressively:

"Now that it's settled, we'll be leaving!

"If Principal Luo wants to sue us for invading privacy, we'll take it on!"

Luo Yong and Wang Weiguo looked at Chu Feng but saw that he had completely calmed down by then.

His face expressionless, as if nothing had happened.

'The kid's got good composure, but unfortunately, there's no way to help him this time.'

Luo Yong knew that at least half the evidence was now missing and it would be difficult to convict Ding Bowen. He waved impatiently:

"I will contact Ninghe Public Security Bureau to investigate this matter. Anyone not involved may leave!"

Liu Rong immediately tried to drag Ding Bowen away, muttering unpleasantries under her breath.

Che Yongyuan extended his hand to stop Liu Rong, smiling:

"Please give me your contact details, I will keep following up on this matter!"

Wang Weiguo's face showed intense anger—this man was nothing but a troublemaker!

He knew just how to make things difficult for them!

However, Luo Yong narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Che Yongyuan with a meaningful gaze.

As for Chu Feng, he was looking indifferently at Ding Bowen, who smirked at him and made a throat-slashing gesture with his hand.

Ding Bowen's lips moved silently, conveying a venomous curse through lip-reading:

"Next time, you're dead for sure, you orphan mongrel!"

After seeing the two off, Che Yongyuan turned around with a smile: "I still have some things to take care of at my office, I don't know if..."

Luo Yong interrupted him: "The sealing of the materials still needs some time.

"Since Director Che has come, how can we not extend our hospitality?

"I will personally attend to Director Che, and I hope you can convey my regards to Director Chen Fei!"

Che Yongyuan's face suddenly stiffened and his eyes filled with panic, the scream caught in his throat unable to escape.

'Have you no martial ethics! I'm just conveying a message, is that a reason for all this hostility?'

Suddenly, a massive oppressive force surrounded him, making him feel like an insect trapped in amber, completely unable to move!

He was a Martial Artist of the Innate Realm, no different from Wang Weiguo.

Under Luo Yong, at the pinnacle of the Everlasting Realm, he was only slightly better than a Lion Cat.

Luo Yong then stepped forward, grabbed Che Yongyuan's shoulder, and the two suddenly flew out of the front door.

Leaving behind only the sound of gritted teeth echoing in the room:

"Old Wang, keep a close eye on the transfer of the materials!

"I'm going to have a 'good talk' with Director Che, see what's what!"

Watching the two quickly fly away, the two young people who had come with Director Che exchanged panicked glances, then immediately started running after them.

Wang Weiguo let out a wry smile and sighed to Chu Feng: "Xiao Feng, I wasn't able to help you gain justice this time!"

Chu Feng smiled: "Don't worry about it, Uncle Wang, who could have expected such a twist when everything seemed set?"

Wang Weiguo looked at Chu Feng who seemed unconcerned and ask slowly in a deep voice, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Chu Feng narrowed his eyes and walked slowly to the door.

He watched the mother and son of the Ding Family happily leaving from the first floor and muttered softly,

"I'm sure, Uncle Er.

"This world is somewhat rotten; I guess I'll have to take justice into my own hands!"

Wang Weiguo sighed, "... Try to do less of this sort of thing in the future; there are no walls that wind cannot penetrate!"

Chu Feng turned his head and smiled, "Got it, Uncle Er. I'll take my leave now; you go ahead with your work!"

...

Wang Erbao was nonchalantly squatting in the corner, talking on the phone.

His head was drooping, his face showing irritation, but he dared not hang up.

It seemed like the person on the other end of the information terminal was someone he couldn't afford to provoke.

Suddenly, he saw Chu Feng approaching him from afar and immediately looked tense.

He hurriedly said a few words and then hung up the conversation with a "snap."

Chu Feng squatted down beside him and jeered,

"Who were you flirting with that you got so nervous? Hung up just because you saw me?

"I'm not going to steal your girl, brother-in-law!"

Wang Erbao gave him a shove on the shoulder, cursing, "What's it to you who I talk to!

"Your 'brother-in-law' my ass, what kind of crap is that to call yourself my brother-in-law?

"Out with it if you have something to say!"

Chu Feng asked curiously, "How did you know I came to see you for a reason?"

Wang Erbao snorted, "When have you ever come to me for anything good?

"If not itching to beat someone up, it's to make me take the rap for something!"

Chu Feng smiled faintly, and the expression made Wang Erbao take him seriously, "Ding Bowen's charges have been dropped."

Wang Erbao bulged his eyes in disbelief, "What do you mean they've been dropped?

"Damn his grandpa, even ironclad evidence got overturned?

"If the Ding Family is that powerful, then there's no point in any of it, my Wang Family would have been in ruins long ago!

"Bloody Ding Bowen, wasn't he forsaken by the Ding Family anyway?"

Wang Erbao knew the details from Wang Weiguo, after all, he had been involved with Chu Feng in the first part of the incident.

Chu Feng waved his hand, "It's not what you think."

After explaining the reasons and results to Wang Erbao, he was speechless, "How did he manage to come across such a thing?

"This kind of dumb luck is just ridiculous!"

Chu Feng narrowed his eyes and said quietly, "Do me a favor and find out where Ding Bowen's family lives.

"If possible, also find out the locations of nearby surveillance and the layout of the houses.

"After all, everyone in No. 1 High knows how resourceful you are; they'd hang a bounty for you in secret!" Chu Feng teased.

"Bugger off, or I'll bite you for making fun of me!" Wang Erbao scratched his head and said, "I'll try!

"I know where it is, and the general layout isn't hard to find, but the surveillance positions will be a bit more troublesome…"

After saying that, he paused for a moment, "What do you want all this for, planning on doing something bad?"

What do I want to do? Chu Feng couldn't help but recall the conversation he had with Wang Weiguo that morning.

...

After listening to Wang Weiguo's plans for dealing with the informant, Chu Feng fell silent for a long while, "Uncle, will he die?"

Wang Weiguo looked at him meaningfully, "No.

"For leaking your information, consorting with an escapee, attempting murder, but it was only an attempt.

"He'll be locked up for a while at most, sent to the front line.

"Humanity is in dire need of warriors, of fighters right now."

Chu Feng thought for a moment and asked softly, "What if he receives my forgiveness?"

Wang Weiguo looked at him seriously, then suddenly laughed and shook his head, "You…

"If you write a letter of forgiveness, at most he'll get a suspended sentence, at least a fine, and let bygones be bygones."

Chu Feng's face brightened with a smile, "Then let's leave it at that.

"If he were to be imprisoned, I would still have to keep him in mind, which would be distressing.

"Issues need to be resolved properly for peace of mind."

...

Facing the glaring sunlight, Chu Feng murmured to himself:

"Living is so hard, that's why I need to completely eliminate... some potential threats."
