Chapter 301: Chapter 301 Morning News

They also had influential Vloggers and internet celebrities supporting them.

But what if one were a nobody?

Would anyone come to their aid then?

And could one withstand the pressure of that cyberbullying?

...

With a teacher known as "Mr. Win All," Zhang San, who reasoned with empathy and logic,

and the decisive evidence to boot,

Ye Chen ultimately won the lawsuit.

Those named in the complaint all faced compensation claims to Ye Chen.

However, Ye Chen slightly modified the complaint last night.

He claimed two million in damages from Xue Tiezhu.

Now with the decisive evidence in hand, Ye Chen felt the compensation was just.

At the same time, Cui Ruogou, for his suspected violation of the law, was sentenced to one and a half years in prison.

However, given that the case of Cui Ruogou’s knife attack from yesterday was not yet concluded, this sentence was initially held in reserve.

When the trial for the knife attack takes place, he will face cumulative sentencing.

Ultimately, within the next week, Ye Chen’s bank account received compensation from this group of people.

To avoid prison, Xue Tiezhu sold his house and gathered funds from all over to pay the two million to Ye Chen.

As for the one million from Cui Ruogou, it was irretrievable.

Ye Chen was rather indifferent about this, since after all, Cui Ruogou had paid the price by going to jail.

It was a fitting retribution.

In the end, Ye Chen also received compensation from the rest on the complaint list.

Xue Tiezhu: Two million flat.

Flying Cat: One hundred thousand flat.

Dancing Fish: One hundred thousand flat.

Lure Explosion King: One hundred thousand flat.

Flying Fisherman: One hundred thousand flat.

Golden Water Fish Pond Owner: One hundred thousand flat.

Dream Chasing Fisherman: Fifty thousand flat.

Flying Shark: Fifty thousand flat.

Golden Sand River Pole King: Fifty thousand flat.

Former Me: Fifty thousand flat.

Zhao: Fifty thousand flat.

Sea Fishing Pioneer: Fifty thousand flat.

Cui Ruogou’s Number One Fan: Five thousand flat.

Boycott Fake Streamers: Five thousand flat.

Simplicity is Supreme: Three thousand flat.

...

A week later, the incident gradually subsided online, and the whole affair came to an end.

There were only six days left until the start of the National Fishing Competition.

Last week, Deng Long had a few words with Ye Chen via Weixin.

Deng Long suggested that Ye Chen come early to Liucheng, where arrangements would be made.

Ye Chen agreed without issue.

...

One morning.

After getting up, Ye Chen washed up, had a quick breakfast,

and then turned on the TV as usual to watch the morning news of Jiang City.

"Dear viewers, welcome to today’s morning news. I am your host."

"Today, we are reporting on a gold heist from 22 years ago!"

Ye Chen, who had originally been sitting on the sofa, playing with his phone with his head down.

Upon hearing the host’s words, couldn’t help but lift his head in surprise and looked toward the 120-inch luxury LCD TV.

"The gold heist from 22 years ago..."

These words sounded all too familiar.

And as he lifted his head to look at the TV.

The screen switched from the director’s room to an outdoor scene.

Within that outdoor scene, a familiar figure appeared.

It was Jiang City’s nemesis of crime, Zhou Tao, Captain Zhou!

Zhou Tao was sitting in his office, being interviewed by a reporter.

As it turns out, the gold heist from 22 years ago had finally concluded after a period of tireless work.

The mastermind behind it all was actually the owner of Golden Peak Mountain Pond, Wang Long.

Ye Chen was somewhat astonished to learn this.

He hadn’t expected the guy who looked ferocious and had once been a prominent figure to be a fugitive as well.

At that moment, Zhou Tao said into the microphone, "After multiple interrogations, Wang Long ultimately confessed to the gold heist that occurred 22 years ago without denial."

"He admitted that he had spent a large amount of money back then to hire several tough outlaws to rob a gold shop, and after shaking off the police pursuing them, he mercilessly killed his accomplices, discarded their bodies in the wilderness, and ultimately hid the stolen 5 kilograms of gold bars in Golden Peak Mountain."

"Perhaps due to a guilty conscience as a thief, or maybe for some other reason, Wang Long never laundered the 5 kilograms of gold bars, which made our investigation significantly more difficult."

"But just ten days ago, we received a report..."

At this point, Captain Zhou in front of the camera inexplicably showed a burst of excitement.

His tone became much more elevated.

"We received a report that someone at Golden Peak Mountain Pond fished out a box of gold bars."

"In fact, we had been reviewing this case all along; as soon as I heard about this, I immediately became alert."

"Because at that time, by using the latest biometric recognition technology, we had already locked down several suspects from back then, including the owner of Golden Peak Mountain Pond, Wang Long."

"At this juncture, the discovery of gold bars in Wang Long’s pond made me realize that this Wang Long was very likely the perpetrator we’ve been looking for all these years..."

Hearing this, the reporter grew curious.

After all, this was the first time the police department disclosed information about the gold heist from 22 years ago.

So, the reporter, who wore glasses and appeared quite scholarly, asked Zhou Tao.

"Wait a minute, Captain Zhou, are you saying that someone was fishing at Golden Peak Mountain Pond and caught gold bars?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tao gave a wry smile, then nodded with a complex expression.

"That’s right, the one who fished out the gold bars might be watching the news right now."

...

Meanwhile.

At home, sitting on the sofa, Ye Chen was taken aback.

Then his phone started to ring.

It was a WeChat group notification from the Jiang City River Squad.

Old Liao: "@Ye Chen, Teacher Ye, you’re on Jiang City news, take a look quick!"

Ye Chen picked up his phone and replied with a smile, "I’m already watching!"

Following Old Liao’s message that early in the morning in the WeChat group.

The "Jiang City River Squad" became lively very soon.

Since these old men woke up early and were keen on keeping up with social matters,

they tended to have the habit of watching early morning news.

And now, having seen their acquaintance, Zhou Tao, discussing the incident at Golden Peak Mountain Pond that happened ten days ago on the morning news.

They instantly started discussing it in the group.

Old Zhang: "Holy shit, Teacher Ye is on the news again!"

Old Jin: "Zhou Tao looks awfully admiringly, obviously he respects Teacher Ye for catching the gold bars that helped them solve the case!"

Old Zhou: "Teacher Ye is mighty! I always knew that Wang Long wasn’t any good, damn, turns out he’s a hardened criminal!"

Old Chen: "@Old Liao, Old Liao, you almost got us killed, man, taking us right into the den of a criminal!"
