They were all in cuffs.

“Hello everyone, I am Zheng Xing, a police officer from the city,” said the man in front of them. “I am here to prove what Mr. Zhou Shan said and what was posted on the big screen is true!”

Even though Zheng Xing had only recently been transferred to the capital, he had already captured a large number of high-profile suspects using his own brand of iron-fisted methods. As a result, a lot of people heard about him. People also knew that he was honest and trustworthy.

This proved that what had just occurred was real.

As soon as Zheng Xing entered the live broadcast room, the crowd quickly thinned out.

“Let me fill you in on the details. First of all, Mr. Zhou Shan was framed. Second, the Zhang Group was the group responsible for framing him. President Zhang considered poisoning the populace because Mr. Zhou Shan’s company was the Zhang Group’s main competitor and the company had just released a newtype of bread. Zhou Shan, who was about to call the police, was prevented from doing so by another officer, while one of the doctor’s sons went to the hospital to look for the victim. They ultimately accomplished their goal by cooperating with one another.”

Zheng Xing took a brief pause at this point. He grabbed a sheet of paper off to the side and opened it up to show the others. “All of these were donated to us by an anonymous benefactor,” he said. “They kept track of the wrongdoings committed by both high and low-ranking Zhang Corporation employees. After our investigation, we confirmed that these were all true! We have since apprehended them and confined them to another area.”

After Zheng Xing finished speaking, he bowed to everyone in front of the live broadcast and said, “I’m very sorry. We didn’t thoroughly investigate the people who used connections to get in through the back door. In the future, we will be more stringent in screening. We will definitely not let such a thing happen again!”

When Zheng Xing finished speaking, the screen went dark.

After that, the audience members in front of the live broadcast began typing erratically and sending bullet points of feedback.

[So we were truly misunderstanding it all?]

[I’m sorry for accusing an innocent!]

[Zhou Shan, I’m sorry!]

The sight of these bullet points caused Zhou Shan’s eyes to redden, but the memory of being outed online was etched into his soul.

Many people expressed regret, but just as many did not. They hid among the crowd.

However, this was of no consequence, as the following instant saw the massive screen start to skip around.

Piece by piece, the words [There are many paid trolls mixed in the bullet screen.] appeared. [These people belong to the same IP. Everyone has lost their ability to think and allowed themselves to be misled. Many people vented their frustrations on the Internet without any restraint. If this was in the past, there might not be any punishment, but things are different now! You only have to send an apology message before midnight. Otherwise, you will soon receive a lawyer’s letter.]

The crowd fell silent for a second, then erupted in cheers. The picture that lay behind those words was the thing that got them most excited.

[Am I seeing things? There’s a black letter Z in the background! Could it be a message from God Z, who had disappeared for two years?]

[Is God Z very powerful? Why haven’t I heard of them before?]

[Well, clearly you’re not a computer science major. He’s the top god in our industry!]

[Nonsense! Why should only computer science majors know? I’m not a computer science major, but I’ve heard of God Z’s name before, alright?]

[No, don’t you guys suspect that this God Z might be a fake?]

…

Zhou Shan and Sun Chuan both concurred with the commenter who thought it was a hoax. They glanced anxiously at Xia Zhi, who was hard at work.

In similar haste, Zhou Shan cut off the live broadcast. If he was even a second late, Xia Zhi might be discovered, and that terrified him.

Sun Chuan breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Zhou Shan cut off the live broadcast. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Xia Zhi, “President Xia, you’re too impulsive. How can you pretend to be this powerful God Z? If he finds out, won’t we all be finished?”

Zhou Shan nodded in agreement.

Xia Zhi looked up in surprise and said seriously, “Do you not think that I’m actually God Z himself?”

When they heard this, Sun Chuan and Zhou Shan burst out laughing. They replied in unison, “We don’t believe it!”

Xia Zhi was speechless. These days, nobody would accept an honest answer.

Just as Xia Zhi finished sighing, her phone rang. It was Zhao Shan.

“Xiao Zhi, Xia Long is in the hospital.”
