When system cheat becomes rampant!
Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Safety Net

Lu Hong was, relatively speaking, one of the few people who knew Xiang Beifei well.

Although in his eyes, Xiang Beifei was also a mysterious youth, he didn't know what system Xiang Beifei had awakened, but he was aware that the boy's abilities were extraordinary.

No matter what Xiang Beifei did, he would not be too surprised.

Lu Hong immediately rushed to the law enforcement brigade, sat in the interrogation room with a furrowed brow, surveyed Yu Lei, and then sent the other law enforcement officers away.

He was almost certain that Beifei was behind this.

The reason was nothing else but the burn scars on Yu Lei's body, which were caused by Rapid Flame, and Lu Hong, being a possessor of Rapid Flame, knew this all too well.

"Beifei acted too rashly, a popular journalist comes forth to confess right after publishing such an article, admitting that what he wrote about the top scholar was false, isn't he afraid that others would suspect his connection with this scholar?"

Lu Hong pondered.

Yu Lei was admitting all his actions in great detail and even handed over the confession he wrote to Lu Hong.

He even prepared a confession in writing?

Lu Hong suddenly paused, thought of something, and chuckled bitterly, "Does this kid think I would come up with a reason for Yu Lei's confession?"

Lu Hong helplessly laughed.

He had just been thinking about how to help Beifei cover up the past.

Beifei had some special abilities, and before he matured, but could help cover up, he would do as much as possible, keeping a low profile, which would be better for Beifei's future.

At that moment, Lu Hong's phone vibrated, and a message popped up.

He glanced at it and saw that it was from Xiang Beifei, with a simple content: "Please, thank you, Uncle Lu."

You still know how to thank me?

Lu Hong rubbed his forehead, feeling quite a headache.

But this rascal, can he even guess my thoughts?

Lu Hong picked up his phone and replied irritably, "Remember to give a heads up next time!"

"Okay."

Xiang Beifei's reply was simple, as communication between intelligent people didn't need to be complex.

Lu Hong put away his phone, and his gaze towards Yu Lei suddenly became sharp, he slammed the table and barked, "Continue, confess all the bad things you've done!"

——

Yu Lei's article spread widely, and if he targeted an ordinary household, they would have no recourse. Yu Lei would directly control the person involved, even if relatives called the police, it would be useless because the person had already been controlled and would act according to Yu Lei's wishes, thus turning the fabricated into reality.

But he had hit a snag, he would never have imagined that he had messed with someone he shouldn't have, especially someone who knew the Captain of the law enforcement in the Liangzhou West Administrative Region!

Lu Hong now regarded Xiang Beifei as a treasure, and he would investigate seriously anything that dared to "hit porcelain" with Xiang Beifei.

He spent two days investigating all the cases involving Yu Lei's confession, and when he confirmed Yu Lei's crimes, Lu Hong was quite shocked!

This was actually a villain of the highest order!

Lu Hong, as captain of the Liangzhou West Administrative Region law enforcement, quickly spread a clarification online that the top scholar grandfather and grandson were well, not as miserable as the article described.

The reason for Yu Lei's confession, as explained by Lu Hong, was that he knew the grandfather and grandson and was aware of their living situation. To investigate the matter, he specifically summoned Yu Lei, and this led to uncovering even more unknown truths.

The persuasive power of the Captain of the Liangzhou West Administrative Region law enforcement was significant, and although many people still had their doubts, Lu Hong directly laid out all the evidence according to Yu Lei's confession, effectively silencing those people.

The matter was handled very smoothly. After Yu Lei surrendered, his crimes were publicized, all his social media accounts were canceled, and all the fabricated articles were deleted.

Afterward, Yu Lei's act of fabricating news to chase popularity caused an uproar on the internet, with the name "Yu Lei" firmly occupying the top of every major media outlet's trending lists.

Everyone was cursing this guy for his lack of morals and extreme wickedness, exploiting people's sympathies for profit. The focus shifted from the nine elite universities directly back to Yu Lei.

Especially those in the N-level system, who had initially supported Yu Lei righteously, only to replace out that they had been used as pawns by him, were indescribably angry!

Yu Lei probably didn't expect that, in his desperation to fabricate fake news to get others trending, he would end up trending himself!

But now, he could only receive his system rewards in prison.

——

"Serves him right!"

Upon seeing the news about Yu Lei's arrest, Yang Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief!

Yu Lei had committed numerous crimes and had been ruthless in his news creation, which solidified something for Yang Hua!

His lost system rewards must have been stolen by Yu Lei!

This cunning guy!

Unfortunately, now that he was in prison, it seemed impossible to recover those two rewards; he had no choice but to accept his bad luck.

"At the end of the day, I have to thank Beifei. It was because of his incident that Captain Lu was able to catch this guy!"

Yang Hua felt a rare sense of gratitude towards Beifei.

If it weren't for Yu Lei reporting on Beifei, which coincidentally led Lu Hong, who knew Beifei, to investigate Yu Lei and finally capture him, he might not have had the chance to obtain justice!

I need to be careful next time and not just accept interviews casually!

——

Beifei had already completed his college application, choosing Liangzhou University.

With his scores, Liangzhou University would surely be upgraded, then give him a chance for an entrance assessment. The exact date was not yet set, but it was going to be in the coming days, so he was still diligently practicing Rapid Flame.

He had gradually noticed the issues with Rapid Flame and had successfully made some improvements.

"I should be able to give feedback tomorrow."

Beifei summarized the characteristics of the Rapid Flame martial art, planning to seek feedback from Lu Hong in the next few days to help Lu Hong complete the mandatory task issued by the Investigation System, aiming to obtain an advancement pill for him.

It wasn't that Beifei coveted the advancement pill; having Lu Hong reach the mid-level of Meridian Opening was also beneficial for Beifei.

Lu Hong was very generous and genuinely kind to Beifei, much like Principal Li Nanxing. They both were willing to spend system values to aid him.

If Beifei needed system rewards to activate a constellation, Lu Hong would certainly not be stingy. Thus, ensuring that Lu Hong reached the mid-level of Meridian Opening, at least, secured that Beifei could obtain enough system rewards from him for activating constellations at that level.

Of course, higher-level system rewards cost more system values, and Beifei did not want Lu Hong to overspend. He would certainly try to obtain system items from others first; if all else failed, then he would turn to Lu Hong for emergency help.

As for who these "others" were, Beifei already had a target in mind.

Liangzhou wanted list!

Obtaining system rewards from these wanted criminals would not only be justifiable but also earn a bounty, killing two birds with one stone.

"Helping solve cases should also enable Uncle Lu to earn Investigation Value. It would be fair to him."

Beifei pondered and continued to throw a punch into the air.
