183: Chapter 183 Traffic police officer announces, the entire internet lines up to apologize.

Lin Chen was just about to take out his phone to call for backup.

At this tense moment, Liu Shishi, who had been staring at her phone screen, suddenly screamed in excitement.

"Big Sister! Stop posting on Weibo! Look at the police's official statement!"

Liu Shishi shoved her phone screen right in front of Yang Mi, her fingers trembling with excitement.

The other three women immediately crowded around.

On the screen was a pinned blue-verified Weibo post that had just been released by the [Beijing Chaoyang Traffic Police Brigade].

"Chaoyang Traffic Police V: Rumors stop with the wise! Regarding the 'certain Lin-surname artist drunk driving' incident that went viral online last night, our brigade has retrieved the full panoramic footage of the on-site law enforcement. As for the truth, you can judge for yourselves after watching the video.

Here, we would like to specifically report two little-known details to everyone:

First, during the road inspection, when our traffic police expressed gratitude to Teacher Lin Chen and his wives for their active cooperation, Teacher Lin Chen said very earnestly: 'Don't thank me, I should be the one thanking you for your hard work on the front lines.'

Second, at the hospital for blood testing, after confirming that this was a false-positive drunk driving incident caused by drinking sour plum soup, our leading officer sincerely apologized to Teacher Lin Chen. Teacher Lin Chen not only did not blame us in the slightest but instead comforted us by saying: 'No need to apologize, cooperating with traffic police law enforcement checks is a statutory obligation of every citizen.'

Finally, all of our Chaoyang Traffic Police Brigade colleagues who participated in the operation unanimously believe that: Mr. Lin Chen is a law-abiding, gentle, and elegant outstanding artist who deserves to be respectfully called 'Teacher' by all of our officers! @Lin Chen"

Below this official long post supporting Lin Chen was a high-definition, unedited video lasting over ten minutes.

The video content was the entire process of Lin Chen's family being stopped by traffic police at the intersection last night, the breathalyzer alarm going off, and finally receiving the blood test report at the emergency room proving the alcohol content was zero!

As the only authoritative law enforcement party of last night's event and the most credible party involved, the release of this blue-verified statement with ironclad video evidence was akin to an atomic bomb explosion!

Visibly, the public opinion trend that had been manipulated by internet trolls and was crazily clamoring for Lin Chen to be banned, instantly experienced a shocking 180-degree reversal!

Yang Mi's pretty face, which had been cold as frost due to anger, blossomed into a dazzling and bright smile the moment she read the statement, like spring rain nourishing the earth.

The other four women were the same; not only were they smiling brightly, but there was also an extreme sense of relief and satisfaction in their expressions after the injustice had been cleared!

The police personally stepped in to clear the rumors with their real names! They didn't even need to draft a PR statement to clear his name!

Major social media platforms exploded instantly, and public opinion completely backfired!

"I knew my Teacher Lin could never do such an illegal and stupid thing! Zhang Jiang, Liao Qiang, weren't you two mad dogs being very arrogant just now? If you have the guts, don't lock your comment section! Come out and get beaten!"

"Holy crap! This plot twist is even more exciting than a movie! I just finished typing an 800-word manifesto ready to go help Teacher Lin fight, and before I could even send it, the enemy's base was taken out by the police?!"

"Teacher Lin is too cool! Even when misunderstood, he was so cooperative with the police. This upbringing is amazing! Forever a fan!"

"Haha, I just went to check that old geezer Zhang Jiang's Weibo. He actually secretly deleted the post scolding Teacher Lin? So he's chicken now? Come, come, Professor Zhang, explain to everyone what 'weak legal awareness' means?"

Celebrity friends in the circle also seized the opportunity to start a carnival-style pile-on.

Huang Bo reposted the traffic police statement: [This incident is a bloody lesson for certain peers: before there is an official conclusion, don't be in such a rush to jump out and stir up trouble just to get a little pathetic clout. How is it now? Failed to show off and got slapped in the face instead. That slap sounded loud, didn't it?]

Guo Degang was even more ruthless, running directly to leave a comment under Liao Qiang's Weibo:

[Oh my, I feel the pain in my face on behalf of certain sanctimonious hypocrites from behind the screen. Want to step on others to get ahead? You should weigh how much you actually weigh first.]

Song Zuer used an alt account to post frantically: [Brother Lin Chen is such a gentle and reasonable person, how could he possibly resist law enforcement? These people are just blackening him for the sake of it, they have no shame!]

Elder Han Meilin posted to show his support: [The reason I respectfully call him Teacher Lin is not because he is famous. It is because I admire his peerless talent, and even more, I admire the pride and humility in his bones. High learning makes a teacher, upright conduct sets an example; he deserves this title of Teacher.]

Major mainstream media also turned their guns, following the trend.

《Sina Entertainment》: [Public figures should be stricter with themselves and actively cooperate with law enforcement. Thumbs up for the law-abiding Mr. Lin Chen and his family!]

《NetEase Entertainment》: [Don't believe rumors, don't spread rumors! Lin Chen has practiced 'learning art requires learning virtue first' with actual actions. If our online environment could have fewer keyboard warriors and more rational waiting, society would be a better place.]

Inside the commercial vehicle.

Although the five women didn't speak, the oppressive and heavy atmosphere in the carriage had long since vanished.

Replacing it was a sense of relief and joy, as if they had survived a disaster.

The receptionist from Hunan Satellite TV driving in the front also secretly wiped away cold sweat.

When Yang Mi was furious just now, he didn't even dare to breathe, fearing that the fire at the city gate would affect the fish in the moat.

Now he could finally breathe easily.

"Big Sister, can we consider this a total victory now? Do we still need to go on Weibo to step on those two drowning dogs?" Reba asked, resting her chin on Lin Chen's shoulder and blinking her big eyes.

Yang Mi skillfully pressed the screen lock button on her phone, played with it in her hand, and sneered with disdain:

"Respond? At this time, the greatest insult to them is ignoring them! The less we pay attention to them, the more netizens will think we have class, and the more they will look like clowns jumping around!"

"Pfft—I suddenly feel that Zhang Jiang and that guy named Liao Qiang are actually quite pitiful and unlucky." Guli Nazha covered her red lips and laughed gloatingly.

Once this was said, the women looked at each other and then burst into laughter.

Just as Guo Degang said, this face-slapping was not only lightning-fast but the slap was extremely loud.

The most ironic thing was that they didn't even need the Lin family to personally tear into them; these idiots ruined themselves.

"Hubby, that has-been singer named Liao Qiang, did you have a grudge with him before?" After laughing for a while, Yang Mi turned her head and looked at Lin Chen in confusion.

Lin Chen frowned slightly and shook his head: "No impression. I haven't even heard of such a nobody's name."

Tong Liya put one of her long, fair legs on the backrest in front and analyzed:

"Then that's strange. He jumped out to be the first bird at the risk of being ridiculed by the whole internet, for what? Could it be because of us? Does he have a crush on one of us, turned into hate, and is now taking revenge on Hubby?"

Reba pouted her pink lips and retorted: "Second Sister, your words are too calculating! What do you mean 'one of us'? You're clearly trying to distance yourself! In my opinion, maybe he has a crush on you!"

Tong Liya shrugged, looking innocent: "That really wrongs me. I don't even know what he looks like. He couldn't possibly be pining for me through the TV screen, right? That kind of perverted stalker routine doesn't suit me."

Liu Shishi also hurriedly raised her hands to distance herself: "I swear, I have never seen this person! I am allergic to men who look like that."

Yang Mi recalled carefully: "I did cross paths with him at a red carpet banquet in my early years, but it was just a polite nod. I didn't notice him having any ulterior motives toward me."

Reba's big eyes rolled around, she stretched out a finger and lowered her voice mysteriously: "I suddenly thought of a very terrifying possibility."

The other four women and Lin Chen turned their heads to look at her in unison.

Reba analyzed seriously: "As the saying goes, there is no love or hate without a reason in this world. That guy Liao Qiang definitely wouldn't be bored enough to come out and cyberbully Hubby for no reason. There must be a deeper reason behind this!"

Guli Nazha rolled her eyes in a way that could mesmerize people and retorted mercilessly: "Isn't this just redundant? Didn't we just analyze this for a long time?"

Reba wrapped her fair arms around Lin Chen's neck and acted coquettishly: "But you analyzed for a long time and didn't find the real reason!"

Liu Shishi leaned in curiously: "Could it be that your little brain has finally opened up and you've found the reason?"

"Of course! Don't look at who this fairy is!"

Reba proudly puffed out her proud chest and began to reason logically, "Think about it. First, we have no conflict of interest with him at work, right?"

"Secondly, the five of us haven't even met him a few times, let alone had any emotional entanglements. Excluding these, there is only one possibility left!"

Reba paused, her tone becoming extremely certain:

"I think... it is highly likely that he is a closeted GAY! And he has fallen deeply in love with our Hubby! But he saw that Hubby only pampers us five women every day, so he turned love into hate, jealousy made him unrecognizable, and that's why he frantically attacked Hubby on Weibo!"

Lin Chen: "..." Yang Mi: "..." Liu Shishi, Tong Liya, Guli Nazha: "..."

The four women looked at each other, then simultaneously turned their heads and stared at Lin Chen with an indescribable look.

Lin Chen had black lines all over his head, and the corners of his mouth twitched wildly.

He pulled Reba into his arms and used both hands to start a crazy "tickling torture" on the soft flesh of her waist.

"Hahahaha! Ouch! Hubby, I was wrong! I was talking nonsense! Hahaha... Big Sister, help me! I'm about to laugh until I can't breathe..."
