The reason why this situation occurred...
Goes without saying.
Is because of the Safety Bureau!
"No, the video can’t play, what’s there to see?"
"Isn’t there a single properly uploaded video?"
"Could it be that the videos were too gory and didn’t pass review?"
"What content does the video have?"
"What exactly happened on site? How could spies hold a supermarket hostage with guns?"
"What’s happening now? Have the spies been controlled?"
"..."
The comment section was filled with the confusion of netizens who couldn’t see the video.
Seeing their comments,
The publishers quickly replied.
"The spies are all dead, five in total, all killed by Lin Beichen, the same Lin Beichen who was trending previously."
"Lin Beichen is too fierce, taking down five armed spies barehanded, and those spies died so miserably!"
"Taking down five armed spies is nothing, the most badass part is that you know what, Lin Beichen got shot several times, but he managed to squeeze the bullets out of his body by himself!"
"..."
Without videos to show the scene, they used words to describe it.
Their descriptions caused an uproar among netizens.
"Lin Beichen again? He’s been dominating the trending searches for the past month?"
"No, for real, Lin Beichen? A college student? Killed five spies barehanded? Are you kidding me, bro?"
"What kind of spies are these, from which country? So lousy that they were all dealt with by a college student?"
"Even so, were the spies’ guns toy guns?"
"You can’t just make things up because we can’t see the video, squeezing bullets out of the body, you think this is a movie?"
"Whoa, is Lin Beichen that badass?"
"..."
Netizens’ comments varied in their replies.
But among them, there were a few comments—
"Is Lin Beichen really that strong? Taking down five spies by himself? Does this have anything to do with his martial arts practice?"
"Lin Beichen managing to squeeze bullets out of his body, could this be related to his martial arts training? Isn’t this kind of scene common in martial arts novels where someone expels poison needles on their own?"
"..."
Their appearance quickly sparked a debate that had been ongoing for nearly a month between supporters of Great Xia’s traditional martial arts and modern combat techniques!
"Laughable! After a month of exposing fake martial arts masters, there are still people who believe in martial arts? No way, no way?"
"You martial arts supporters, must have some problem in your heads, it’s clearly impossible that all this viral stuff on the internet is true, and you’re still dreaming that it’s because of martial arts, I’ll say this, even if Lin Beichen practiced martial arts for a hundred years, he couldn’t beat a gun-wielding spy."
"So many people are talking about this, and their stories are quite consistent, why do you say they are lying? Is it that you can’t admit Great Xia’s traditional martial arts is too powerful?"
"If Great Xia’s martial arts were so powerful, how come over the past month, I haven’t seen any martial arts master winning against a modern fighter online?"
"..."
The two sides quarreled endlessly.
In the lively comment section, they occupied a large portion!
However, despite how active the netizens were in discussing, the topic’s popularity continued to decline under the control of the Safety Bureau, and it naturally and seamlessly fell off the trending list.
During this period, Hu Xianyong had already taken Lin Beichen and the hostages back to the city bureau.
At this moment, in the city bureau.
Interrogation Room (1).
Hu Xianyong sat at a table, a few meters in front of him, Lin Beichen sat in a separate chair.
Due to Lin Beichen’s special status, Hu Xianyong personally conducted the interrogation.
"Lin Beichen, are you sure you don’t need to go to the hospital for your injuries?"
"No need, Director Hu."
"Alright then."
Hu Xianyong nodded and then officially began: "Speaking of your injuries, Lin Beichen, can you roughly explain what happened?"
"Sure."
Lin Beichen nodded and then said: "I was planning to return to school tomorrow. Today, I went to the specialty supermarket to buy some local products. But just as I entered, those five spies rushed in, holding guns and forcing us together..."
Within minutes,
He explained the entire process in great detail.
"..."
Silence.
After Lin Beichen finished, no one spoke in the interrogation room.
At this moment, Hu Xianyong looked dumbfounded.
Initially, when he heard Lin Beichen describe how he took down each spy with a single punch, he was amazed by his extraordinary skills and his decisiveness and bravery.
But...
The more he listened, the more it included dodging bullets, catching bullets with bare hands, and withstanding bullets with his body; he felt it was becoming more and more outrageous!
How is this possible?
Can a human really do this?
If it weren’t for the Safety Bureau Director personally confirming Lin Beichen’s importance to the nation, Hu Xianyong would have already blown his top, warning him to be serious and stop joking.
Just then;
A knock on the door broke the silence.
"Knock knock knock—"
"Come in!"
"Click—"
The interrogation room door was pushed open from the outside.
A policeman poked half his body in.
Hu Xianyong immediately recognized him as one of the officers who was taking statements from the other hostages, "What’s up?"
"Director Hu."
The policeman hesitated.
He glanced at Lin Beichen, his expression strange and conflicted, then said to Hu Xianyong, "Can I trouble you to step outside, I have a situation to report."
