521: Investigate his past

A Qi rubbed his temples, feeling dizzy and having a headache.

They had been suppressing this case precisely because they didn't want the public to know about Su Yue, as it would bring immense pressure to the Municipal Bureau and higher authorities.

In today's society, people seek instant entertainment in their mundane work lives; once Su Yue's incident is exposed, his free-spirited life and glorious deeds will cause countless disturbances!

"Damn it!" A Qi cursed angrily, commanding in exasperation, "Contact all portal websites and remove the hot topics! Remove all hot topics related to Su Yue! Especially this Guangming Daily! Check their newspaper's qualifications, find faults, and shut them down! We can't let the influence expand any further!"

However, what A Qi didn't expect was that once this stone was thrown into the lake, the only way to calm the ripples was with time.

Even if the source was cut off, by 6:05 AM, too many people had already learned the true identity of Professor He Jiaxin.

These people spontaneously became propagandists, like countless new stones being thrown into the water.

Although A Qi knew the influence couldn't be expanded further and was making preparations, the influence had ultimately spread and could no longer be stopped.

Meanwhile, Director Jiang Jingtong of the Taoyang City Municipal Bureau was also woken up.

Su Yue had left from Taoyang; ultimately, it was due to Taoyang's ineffective supervision.

After hearing the phone call, his expression showed his age. The matter had become increasingly serious and was completely out of control. He was wide awake, standing up and looking at the faintly lit sky outside the window, thinking to himself, "If someone like Su Yue reached my age, what kind of scene would it be?"

Also paying immediate attention to this matter in Taoyang was He Chen, the principal of Taoyang No. 1 High School.

Su Yue was originally a student he greatly admired, even after he later learned about Su Yue's escape and college entrance exam cheating. However, when he learned that Su Yue was He Jiaxin, he was still somewhat surprised. From this small place of Taoyang, a remarkable person had indeed emerged.

However, as the instigator of this incident, Su Yue himself had not yet gotten up. When he opened his eyes punctually at seven o'clock, he saw Qi Si holding his phone, his face solemn.

"What's wrong? What happened? Your expression doesn't look right," Su Yue asked.

Qi Si heard Su Yue's voice, looked up at him for a moment, then lowered his head back to his phone.

"You're awake, Brother Hang," Qi Si's voice was muffled, making Su Yue feel very curious.

"What's wrong?" Su Yue asked again.

Qi Si said, "You'll know when you look at your phone. The whole internet is buzzing... Professor He Jiaxin's identity has been exposed."

Su Yue was stunned. I've been exposed? Who did it? But his brain was also activating its defense mechanism at the same time.

First, the only identities he should know about are ZC5546 Hero Professor He Jiaxin and the identity of Professor Gu An announced by Qingzhou Aerospace University; second, he doesn't know that a person named Su Yue exists, and no one from the Special Task Force has told him about the Su Yue case.

However, as Qi Si said, Su Yue also took out his phone and started looking.

He said in confusion, "Su Yue? Who is Su Yue? Before, they said Professor He Jiaxin and Professor Gu An were the same person, so that means, these two people are actually Su Yue!?"

This was the first time Su Yue had been amazed by himself, and the feeling was also a bit strange.

And Qi Si's solemn expression was also quite interesting to Su Yue.

"Taoyang No. 1 High School, Su Yue, Taoyang No. 1 High School Top Scorer, the true face of Professor He Jiaxin..." These keywords quickly topped the Baidu search index.

Almost all places where comments were possible were discussing this topic, regardless of gender or age, regardless of the circle, whether it was celebrities, businessmen, or students, whether it was the fan circle, e-sports circle, or literary circle, everyone was paying attention!

"Has Su Yue been arrested yet?" "How long has it been, and there's still no news of Su Yue's arrest. I think he hasn't been arrested yet!"

"This kind of life is the real life! As for me, a wage slave, I feel like I've lived in vain!"

"This senior dog says Su Yue is my idol!"

"Su Yue can actually disguise himself as a university professor? And in aerospace dynamics? How did he do it?"

"Genius! Only this kind of genius can do such a thing!"

"If Su Yue were to become an actor, he would play anything convincingly! He can even disguise himself as a university teacher!" "The most important thing is he can also fly a plane? How on earth did he do it?"

"Hero! Genius!"

At 8:30 AM on November 4th, the Sina server recovered.

And this time it was even more exaggerated; among the top fifty hot searches, thirty-seven were related to Su Yue!

Currently ranked first is #Su Yue#, and the second is #Where is Su Yue right now?#.

Amidst the explosive discussion, the topic has gradually evolved.

And besides that, a new hot search is rapidly climbing at the speed of a rocket sprint—"Identity Deceiver"!

Titles like genius and hero are not enough to describe people's feelings towards Su Yue at this time; people have thought of a more fitting term!

Director Zhang originally posted a Weibo expressing his willingness to direct a movie for Professor He Jiaxin.

However, shortly after, he deleted this Weibo and instead posted new content: "Who in the world doesn't know you? Everyone knows your name, but no one can truly recognize you!" As soon as this Weibo was posted, it caused a huge stir.

It is common knowledge that the name is Su Yue, but no one can accurately point out Su Yue's true identity.

He might be right beside each of us, while Su Yue himself silently observes all of this, without revealing the slightest flaw.

He Jiaxin, Gu An, Su Yue... Do they have other identities?

People are speculating, #Where is Su Yue right now?#

This question became the focus of everyone's attention. However, it seems no one knows Su Yue's whereabouts.

Inside the Guangming Daily newspaper office, telephones rang one after another, but no one answered. A note was posted on the office door: "Holiday for three days."

Whether it was directors, Editor-in-chiefs, editors, or reporters, no one could be reached. They understood that to quell this matter, they had to issue a statement themselves, proving that it was all fictional. So, the board of directors decided to take a three-day holiday. Since Guangming Daily had started this, they didn't want to be easily suppressed.

The Special Task Force had gathered in the office by eight o'clock, and everyone's expression was exceptionally solemn.

A Qi ran around, trying to suppress the impact brought by the "He Jiaxin, Gu An identity exposure."

But after understanding the situation, he realized that suppressing this matter was now impossible.

Things were developing in an increasingly negative direction, and Su Yue was simultaneously labeled as a genius, a hero, and a fugitive.

He became a symbol of freedom and nonchalance, like a chivalrous thief in literary works. This caused those who were immersed in work and sleep day after day to begin to awaken, becoming unstable factors.

To resolve all of this, Su Yue must be arrested as soon as possible. "People want to know what Su Yue is doing. Given the current level of exposure, it's not hard for them to guess what happened," A Qi said quickly, his brows furrowed, pacing back and forth. "They will find out about the Wang Hua case on train K441 and the incident at Taiyang University sooner or later."

"People are still immersed in the shock of Su Yue's identity being exposed..." he continued. "But as long as they dig deeper, their underlying sense of resistance will awaken... This is what I worry about most! Su Yue's existence will make people disregard the rule of law!"

Jin Tianqin nodded and then said, "People don't feel much right now, but they are about to start thinking... Copycat criminals and followers will quickly form a scale, causing harm to society before being arrested... After the chaos has slightly subsided, people will start to condemn us... The pressure will be immense."

Xiao Ting thought about it according to Jin Tianqin's words; it would be a huge ideological confusion that couldn't be stopped.

He couldn't help but shiver. Not only him, but everyone in the Special Task Force office was thinking about this matter.

"Then what should we do?" Xiao Ting felt uneasy. If this continued, what would be the outcome? Hero, criminal, admirable genius... These labels were intertwined, leaving people full of doubt and curiosity about Su Yue's identity.

With a "creak," Xiang Haitian suddenly pushed open the office door and burst in. He waved a newspaper in his hand and slammed it heavily onto A Qi's desk. He was panting, clearly having run all the way up. He stared at A Qi and said, "Look... What on earth is going on? All the secrets of your operation in Qingzhou have been leaked!"

A Qi's brows were tightly furrowed. He recalled the students who had been full of trust and affection for "Gu An," especially one good-looking girl among them. He gritted his teeth inwardly, but it was clearly too late to pursue it now, and there was no evidence on hand. Even if he went back to investigate, it would be futile.

He picked up the newspaper, his frown deepening. At this moment, Gao Xiang spoke, "To resolve this situation, we must catch Su Yue as soon as possible! Otherwise, the impact will become increasingly negative, and his matters must be suppressed! There are simply too many things that can be dug up about him. We must catch Su Yue before the public reaction starts to change!"

He paused for a moment, then continued, "A Qi, our plan must start! If we delay any longer, and the situation continues to worsen, I'm afraid..."

A Qi put down the newspaper, nodded, and looked at Xiang Haitian: "Captain Xiang, it seems we need to request help."

Xiang Haitian immediately nodded in agreement: "No problem, I'll talk to the Director. I think the document from above will come down soon... There are too many unstable factors!" His voice was hoarse, sounding a bit anxious.

He wanted to say something else, but after raising his hand, he swallowed it back and turned around to leave the room directly.

A Qi said with a frown, "Action begins, the plan starts tonight! This is our first time setting a trap for Su Yue. Within three days, we must capture Su Yue's whereabouts and bring him to justice!"

Tasks had been assigned before, and now that the situation was urgent, everyone immediately began to act. Only Cui Jia stood still, stunned. As a forensic doctor, the help he could offer in this matter was limited.

"A Qi, I..." Before leaving, Cui Jia asked hesitantly.

A Qi stopped his hurried steps, looked at him, and asked, "Oh right, where is Zhong Qi?"

"To avoid suspicion, I temporarily kept him in the dormitory. It's not very appropriate to go to the City hospital right now..."

A Qi nodded, then instructed, "Cui Jia, go help me contact Li Yan, that psychology expert from Shanghai. Ask him if he's willing to come help. Aren't you schoolmates?"

Cui Jia was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay!"

...

The ones most closely following the Su Yue case were definitely not ordinary people, but rather the major media outlets. They were very willing to continue digging into Su Yue's subsequent situation, just like the operation by Guangming Daily this time.

In Jin Rong's Observation Weekly, Chu Qing was a rising female reporter. In addition to her strong professional ability, she also possessed a beautiful and slightly alluring face. At this moment, she was hunched over her desk, holding a pen and detailing Su Yue's whereabouts step by step. Starting from Shanghai, to Qingzhou, then to Taoyang... She marked out the known timeline of Su Yue's actions one by one.

"The timeline from Qingzhou to Taoyang is clear, but when did he go from Shanghai to Qingzhou?" she murmured to herself, trying to uncover this mystery.

Chu Qing frowned and typed "Shanghai Su Yue" into the browser's search bar. However, the search results were all recent new entries. Finding useful information within this mass of new entries was quite difficult.

She thought for a moment and then typed "Shanghai No. 1 High School Top Scorer" into the search bar. This time, she found a lot of useful information. However, the more she read, the more surprised she became. Her crimson lips were slightly parted, and she thought in amazement, "What kind of person is this?"

She saw many posts related to Su Yue on the Shanghai No. 1 High School Tieba, which roughly reconstructed Su Yue's actions during the college entrance exam. Subsequently, she also found the news of Shanghai Xue Zheng Si Li Jie's arrest. Chu Qing quickly realized that if they delved deeper into Su Yue's affairs, there would definitely be more shocking things to emerge.

She became deeply interested in Su Yue, so she organized all the information about Su Yue that she could find online and saved it as a document. Then, she decisively decided to continue investigating.

Chu Qing immediately stood up from her desk, closed her laptop, put it in her backpack, and then went to the Editor-in-chief's office. "Editor-in-chief," she said in a pleasant voice, but with an undeniable tone, "I need to go to Shanghai."

When the Editor-in-chief saw it was Chu Qing, his expression changed slightly. He said helplessly, "My dear girl, don't cause any more trouble. Do you know what the situation is like at Guangming Daily right now? Rectification is the least of it! Don't stir up trouble!"

Chu Qing frowned, then said again, "Alright then, can I at least take leave?" Chu Qing's father was one of the major shareholders of Observation Weekly. In their magazine office, even the Editor-in-chief had to give her some face, not to mention her outstanding ability as a reporter.

"Take leave?" The Editor-in-chief sighed, knowing that this girl was determined to go to Shanghai to investigate. He had no choice but to nod and say, "No need to take leave, go ahead. But no matter what you find, whether to publish it must be discussed with the editorial team!"
