"Mist City Central Hospital.

Principal Ding Yue and representatives from the university took Student Zhou Xiaoyan for a medical examination at the hospital. Apart from some bruises and external wounds, nothing seemed to be seriously wrong.

Finally relieved, Ding Yue assigned his secretary, Wen Ruohan, to stay with Zhou Xiaoyan and offer her some psychological counseling.

After all, having been rescued from the grip of a pyramid scheme, her mental state was a bit distressed.

Ding Yue ran into President Jiang Zhongbo entirely by chance at the Mist City Central Hospital.

"Dean Jiang, are you still at work this late?"

When Ding Yue met Dean Jiang in the hospital lobby, he stopped to chat for a few minutes.

"I’ve been quite busy recently. Usually, I don’t get home until midnight," Dean Jiang sighed.

"You really should look after your health," Ding replied, shrugging. "By the way, how are things going with our health care robot Big White? We’ve been trying it out for quite some time, has it been effective?"

"Absolutely excellent! It has significanty relieved the workload for clinicians across various departments," Dean Jiang praised upon hearing Ding talk about the health care robot Big White.

"Good to hear!"

Ding nodded in satisfaction.

The relation between Mist City Central Hospital and Ding’s Mist City Arts and Science University is quite good, and they are among the first to have used the healthcare robot, Big White. Since he happened to run into Dean Jiang, it was only fitting to talk about the robot.

"By the way, Principal Ding, why are you here at the hospital this late?" inquired Dean Jiang.

"Well, one of our students was tricked into joining a pyramid scheme. An incident report was filed tonight and we have managed to rescue her. It appeared that she had been beaten, so we brought her in for a check-up, which was carried out by Big White."

Ding answered with a smile.

The reason they chose the Mist City Central Hospital was twofold. Firstly, it was not too far from Jiangyuan Community, where the incident occurred. Secondly, the hospital had the Big White healthcare robot. Even if all departments have closed for the day, Big White could still provide diagnoses, in this case, for Student Zhou Xiaoyan.

"Is the student alright?" Dean Jiang asked with concern.

"After a thorough examination, it seems that nothing serious has happened. We are about to head back to campus when we ran into you, Dean Jiang."

"Alright then, Principal Ding. I won’t keep you from returning to the university. Goodbye."

"Goodbye, Dean Jiang."

After waving goodbye to Dean Jiang, Ding headed for the hospital’s parking lot.

Now, the representatives from the Mist City Arts and Science University were here. Inside the car, Wen Ruohan was trying to comfort Zhou Xiaoyan.

Based on what Wen Ruohan learned, Zhou Xiaoyan joined the pyramid scheme after meeting with her online boyfriend, who then trapped her into it.

That evening, when Zhou Xiaoyan refused to help the pyramid schemers defraud money from her parents, they beat her. The criminals then sent a message to Mother Zhou from Zhou Xiaoyan’s phone, demanding fifty thousand yuan.

"Secretary Wen, Principal Ding mentioned that it was Director Xu who found me?" Zhou Xiaoyan asked curiously, her emotions now steadier, as she looked at Wen Ruohan.

Wen Ruohan nodded and explained, "That’s right. Director Xu used his incredible computing skills to locate your whereabouts through Sky Eye Surveillance system. He saw you entering building number 4 in Jiangyuan Community and not coming out afterwards. We then teamed up with the police to rescue you."

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyan felt extremely grateful towards her school, Principal Ding and Director Xu.

She felt remorseful for believing in her online boyfriend, the man in the black jacket seen on the surveillance tape.

Wen Ruohan continued comforting Zhou Xiaoyan.

By the time they returned to the university, it was very late. After resting for the night, the next day Ding arranged for Liu Qianxing, the head of the business management department, and Wen Ruohan to go to the precinct in University Town to make a statement.

From last night to this morning, the case of the missing female student Zhou Xiaoyan from Mist City Arts and Science University stirred up quite a debate on the internet. So much so, that it ended up trending in second place on Twitter.

The reason behind such high traffic was the rumor started by someone yesterday evening. A wide variety of rumors, ranging from the female student from Mist City Arts and Science University being killed to the university concealing the incident, were spread.

After seeing these sorts of rumors, Ding couldn’t help but laugh.

The next morning when Ding woke up, he immediately instructed the university’s PR department to release an official statement informing the netizens that the missing female student had been found.

At the same time, the local police precinct in University Town also issued an announcement on the case.

[Mist City Arts and Science University]v: The missing student was found last night, safe and sound. Everyone, please, there is no need to worry!

The university’s tweet was concise, simply declaring that the missing female student has been found and advising against spreading rumors of her being killed.

The precinct from University Town, on the other hand, provided a much more detailed account of the missing person’s case.

[University Town Precinct]v: Yesterday evening around 7 o’clock, our city received a report that a female student from Mist City Arts and Science University, Zhou Xiaoyan, was missing. After being informed, our department immediately opened the case and contacted the university. Mist City Arts and Science University quickly put together a special task force. With the technical support they provided, we were able to rapidly and accurately locate the missing person’s whereabouts.

Upon determining the location, our department along with the task force from the university promptly arrived at the location and successfully found the missing student.

It was revealed that Zhou Xiaoyan left Mist City Arts and Science University on the afternoon of September 30 with her online boyfriend and went to Jiangyuan Community of Mist City, where she was thereafter controlled by a pyramid scheme in a rented house in the community.

Within 5 hours of the missing student’s family filing a police report 48 hours after her disappearance, Mist City Arts and Science University cooperated with the local police to crack the case, successfully locating the missing student Zhou Xiaoyan and destroying a pyramid scheme!

"Impressive efficiency!"

"Well deserved praise for the police, amazing!"

"Didn’t expect Mist City Arts and Science University to play such a significant role."

"Technical support from Mist City Arts and Science University? That’s quite amazing, isn’t it?"

"I am a student at Mist City Arts and Science University. It’s said that our computer whizzes used their advanced skills to quickly identify the surveillance footage!"

"Good job, Mist City Arts and Science University responded swiftly in an emergency!"

"Good that everything is fine now, pyramid schemes are truly vile!"

"I was tricked into one before, it was absolutely ruthless. They seized my phone as soon as I arrived and started brainwashing me daily, forcing me to scam my parents, family, friends, and classmates. It was lucky that I never agreed!"

"Where are those morons who said she was dead? Huh?"

"Haha, everyone was slamming Mist City Arts and Science University last night!"

"I was impulsive last night too, thinking that Mist City Arts and Science University was ignoring the student’s disappearance. I was wrong, and I sincerely apologize to Mist City Arts and Science University. I am sorry!"

After the successful resolution of the missing female student case at Mist City Arts and Science University, netizens have been praising Mist City’s efficient police and the proactive response from the university.

However!

Ding Yue had no intention of letting off lightly those who fabricated rumors and slandered Mist City Arts and Science University last night.

In his apartment, Ding Yue was brushing his teeth when his mobile phone, placed on the bedside table, rang.

"Hey, Yue, I’ve found out that the ones who slandered our Mist City Arts and Science University last night, guess where their IPs are?"

The voice of Xu Bin came through the phone.

After returning to Mist City Arts and Science University last night, Ding Yue had asked Bin to identify the accounts that had slandered their university.

Especially those accounts with the highest number of likes, shares, and comments.

For Xu Bin, this was as easy as pie.

"Where?"

Ding Yue inquired curiously.

"It’s right here in University Town, at Mist City Intelligent College. And if the police verify their real names, they should easily find those who posted misleading rumors and slander."

Xu Bin stated calmly, even letting out a yawn at the end.

"Bin, did you just wake up or haven’t you slept yet?" Ding Yue asked after hearing Xu Bin’s yawn.

"I haven’t slept yet. I worked on the ’neuro intelligence program’ for a while after getting back last night. Well, I won’t bother you anymore, I’m going to sleep."

Xu Bin hung up after finishing his sentence.

Did Bin just say that the most active slanderers against Mist City Arts and Science University were from Mist City Intelligent College?

Upon hearing the name of this school, it dawned on Ding Yue.

This is a privately-run university located in University Town. If he remembered correctly, many students from Mist City Intelligent College had dropped out and enrolled in his Mist City Arts and Science University at the start of the school year.

Could this be the reason?

So Mist City Intelligent College took advantage of the incident in his school, where one female student went missing, to spread fake news and slander them?

"Such a cheap tactic," Ding Yue laughed and cried at the same time.

But as for these troublemakers, Ding Yue certainly wouldn’t show any mercy.

Leniency?

That’s towards the inside, but outside, Ding Yue wouldn’t pull any punches. Since they’ve slandered Mist City Arts and Science University, they should pay some price.

So Ding Yue called Officer Zhang at the University Town police station.

"Hello, Principal Ding, are you calling to inquire about Student Zhou’s situation?" Officer Zhang’s voice came through the phone after the call connected.

"Yes, how is it going?" Ding Yue asked, following up on the conversation.

"After our overnight investigation of the pyramid scheme base last night, we’ve more or less pieced together the full story. I think Student Zhou probably told you as well. After Student Zhou finishes her statement, she can go home. Additionally, we’ve contacted Student Zhou’s parents, and they’ll probably arrive in Mist City this afternoon. Should we direct them to your school when they arrive?"

Officer Zhang briefly detailed the situation.

"Okay, Officer Zhang, there’s something else I think you guys might need to look into."

Actually, Ding Yue called to tell Officer Zhang about the issue with Mist City Intelligent College slandering them.

"Sure, Principal Ding, please go ahead."

"About the rumor-mongering we talked about last night, I assume your department won’t just let it slide, right?"
