Chapter 716 - 714: The Incident
Thinking of this, he began to observe everyone’s reactions around him to see if anyone stood out.
He walked all the way to the classroom, and at this moment, it wasn’t morning reading, but groups of people crowded together looking at their phones and tablets, zooming in and out, flipping through pictures, with occasional laughter from the boys.
Suddenly, Chen Tianlong’s gaze landed on Hao Ren, who was sitting casually on the side, flipping through his phone with an occasional slight smile.
"Hao Ren, was it you who did this?"
Chen Tianlong quickly suspected Hao Ren, but he knew that if it were really him, he wouldn’t admit it. Otherwise, Wushuang’s situation would soon calm down.
"Oh? Are you talking about Lin Wushuang’s matter? What does that have to do with me? Don’t slander me. I just came this morning and saw them looking at it, but, tsk tsk, Lin Wushuang’s figure is really..."
Hao Ren said as he licked his lips, which made Chen Tianlong furious to watch.
However, Chen Tianlong couldn’t get angry. He needed to find the real culprit to fundamentally solve the problem. First, those photos were definitely taken secretly of Lin Wushuang, and he didn’t believe Lin Wushuang would be so careless to be photographed so exposed.
"Hao Ren, it better not be you, or you know the consequences."
After speaking, Chen Tianlong slapped Hao Ren’s desk with a loud "bang," startling everyone in the class.
Many people hadn’t noticed Chen Tianlong’s arrival in the classroom. Some boys intended to curse but turned around and were immediately frightened by Chen Tianlong’s angry appearance.
Everyone knew that Chen Tianlong was not someone easy to mess with. He rarely got angry, always having an indifferent attitude. His anger today showed just how much he cared about Lin Wushuang’s issue.
"Haha, how would I dare, Boss Tianlong? Even with ten guts, I wouldn’t dare do such a thing to Lin Wushuang."
Hao Ren responded calmly.
Chen Tianlong observed Hao Ren’s composed expression, not like someone lying. But even if he were lying, Chen Tianlong had no evidence and couldn’t just force a confession.
So, Chen Tianlong decided to find Lin Wushuang.
But before finding Lin Wushuang, he had to go to the school’s Broadcast Information Center, as the website management was there. He wanted to find out who uploaded Wushuang’s photos, regardless of whether the original photos were tampered with.
Soon, Chen Tianlong arrived at the Broadcast Information Center, where three administrators were busy. After politely knocking on the door, he went straight in.
The three were busy and felt a bit annoyed hearing someone barge in. But upon seeing Chen Tianlong, their attitude changed immediately.
"Oh, it’s Chen Tianlong, you’re here!"
"Teacher Li, what’s going on? Why is the website full of indecent photos of Lin Wushuang, can’t it be shut down? What’s causing this?"
Chen Tianlong realized it was their information science teacher, Teacher Li Dazhao, who spoke.
"Chen Tianlong, sorry for the inconvenience. Our campus network was hacked. We are trying to recover quickly. Besides the homepage images, the campus network contains lots of movies, music, study materials, even textbooks, making it a huge database. Shutting it down would lead to significant data loss, so we can only delete the photos by fixing the vulnerabilities."
Teacher Li Dazhao explained everything to Chen Tianlong.
"Hacker attack? Hiss..."
Chen Tianlong had recently seen this term often online and was sensitive to it. If it were a hacker attack, someone likely hated Lin Wushuang enough to set her up like this.
Otherwise, if they didn’t know Wushuang, how would they have her photos and be so idle to make them indecent to humiliate her?
Thinking over it, Chen Tianlong felt there was something fishy about this.
So, it pointed to someone envious of Wushuang or targeting the Lin Group, as the Lin Group’s reputation at South Sea No.1 Middle School was high. Over the years, the Lin Group’s shares in the school had been leading, making its position unshakeable.
But if such an indecent incident occurred, the school might start reassessing the Lin Group’s image.
The matter quickly reached Lin Batian’s ears through a call from the principal, Situ Feng. Upon hearing the news, Lin Batian immediately dispatched the company’s IT expert, Zhao.
Chen Tianlong, not waiting for them to continue, stepped out of the information center toward the dining hall while taking out his phone. He dialed Lin Wushuang’s number without hesitation, but after ringing several times, nobody answered.
He frowned, feeling that Wushuang might be in trouble and began to quicken his pace.
Unable to reach Lin Wushuang, he tried calling Lu Xiaoyu. Despite dialing quickly, no one answered, which made Chen Tianlong anxious.
He thought Lin Wushuang might be too upset to answer, but Lu Xiaoyu had no reason not to pick up.
What Chen Tianlong didn’t know was that Lu Xiaoyu forgot her phone at home this morning, and although Lin Wushuang had her phone, she was too heartbroken to pick it up. Plus, she had set it to vibrate.
Chen Tianlong soon reached the dining hall, but after some searching, he saw no sign of Lin Wushuang and Lu Xiaoyu. Reflecting, he realized that from leaving the dorm to the classroom, he hadn’t seen Wushuang anywhere.
She could have avoided his path over half of South Sea No.1 Middle School, implying Lin Wushuang likely went somewhere more secluded.
Thinking this, Chen Tianlong was about to leave the dining hall when the weather suddenly turned overcast, and it started to drizzle.
Weather in the south changes quickly. It was sunny at breakfast, but soon after, it rained lightly.
The early spring rain was very cold.
At this time, Lu Xiaoyu and Lin Wushuang were hiding under the eaves of a building storing sports equipment on the sports field, unable to enter because the door was shut and having to shelter under the eaves.
Though the rain wasn’t heavy, the slight drizzle on Lin Wushuang’s face and body made her feel extremely cold.
For some reason, Lu Xiaoyu didn’t feel cold, feeling rather energized, thus she hugged Wushuang, whispering, "Sister Wushuang, don’t be sad. Someone’s definitely framing you, and Brother Tianlong will find a way to clear your name."
When Lin Wushuang heard Chen Tianlong’s name, she suddenly felt a warmth within her, envisioning a scene where Chen Tianlong found her at this critical moment and held her affectionately in his arms.
At that moment, Lin Wushuang wished to let go, think of nothing, and just embrace Chen Tianlong, sharing all her thoughts with him.
"Sister Wushuang, don’t scare me."
