"What's wrong with you all?" Lin Feng looked at Wang Zikai and the others in confusion. "I'm not some beautiful lady, so why are you dragging me around? I don't have any favors to give you!"
Upon hearing Lin Feng's question, Wang Zikai was taken aback. "Brother Feng, you really don't know?"
"Know what?" Lin Feng asked casually while peering into the classroom. The two classes in the morning were compulsory Political Thought classes shared with the finance students. Though the combined classes usually numbered more than a hundred students, a mere three minutes before the lesson began, shockingly, more than forty students were still absent! It was an absurd number.
Lin Feng quickly found Ning Aoxue and Su Zi amongst the crowd. They had inexplicably chosen to sit in the first row – the zone usually reserved for top students. Despite knowing his penchant for sitting at the back, those two girls didn't even glance back. Truly heartless! Lin Feng thought. But what surprised him even more was that almost all the other boys and girls were sneakily observing him, giggling and whispering amongst themselves.
Lin Feng could vaguely hear bits and pieces of their conversation:
"It's Lin Feng, right? I think the guy in the picture is him…"
"...It seems that way. He reacted pretty quickly though!"
"He's completely lost face this time..."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. The tragedy of trying to catch someone and failing! And that butt landing on him... even if it was Sister Li's butt... it must have hurt!"
"Of course it wasn't pleasant! He's lucky he didn't break any ribs. That was a four-meter-high platform."
"Why is everyone looking at me like that…" Lin Feng questioned after a while, growing even more perplexed. He shifted his gaze to Wang Zikai and the others and said, "I don't remember being handsome enough to shock the entire class, do I? Or have I unknowingly become so handsome that even I can't comprehend it?"
Wang Zikai was speechless for a moment before looking at Zhong Jialiang and Yang Ming. "What do you guys think?"
Zhong Jialiang nodded. "I don't think Brother Feng is lying; he genuinely doesn't know. He's been so busy with his girlfriend that he wouldn't have time for the campus forums!"
Yang Ming also nodded. "I also believe Brother Feng is clueless! Otherwise, he would have at least discussed with us whether Sister Li's butt felt soft…"
"What the hell, are you guys sick? Why are you talking such nonsense?" Lin Feng casually smacked each of them lightly on the head and demanded, "What on earth happened that I don't know about? Spit it out!"
"See for yourself..." Wang Zikai handed his phone to Lin Feng, sneakily glancing at Lin Feng's expression, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Lin Feng took the phone in confusion. Wang Zikai had opened the browser to the Jiangzhou University student forum, displaying a thread titled "The Most Tragic Heroic Rescue Attempt Ever."
The post was brief. It described an incident at the welcome party the previous evening where an accident occurred during a performance. A wire supporting Li Liping snapped, causing her to fall, but she was saved by a mysterious male student.
The post stated that this mysterious male student reacted very quickly, leaping from backstage in an attempt to catch Li Liping. However, he failed, and Li Liping landed on him, knocking him unconscious on the spot.
The accompanying pictures were quite revealing. Some showed Lin Feng on the ground, eyes closed as if feigning unconsciousness, while others depicted Ning Aoxue gently patting his cheeks. The most over-the-top photo showed several people carrying Lin Feng away.
The post had over a thousand comments, with many people voicing their contempt for Lin Feng:
"With skills like that, you dare to be a hero saving a damsel? Hilarious..."
"Commendable courage! Too bad his reflexes were too slow!"
"Stop dissing the handsome guy in the photo; at least he's good-looking!"
"Okay... actually, his soft belly did successfully cushion Sister Li Liping, so you can't knock that!"
...
Damn it, this is going to ruin my reputation forever! Lin Feng was so angry after reading the thread that he wanted to smash the phone.
"Hey, hey... Brother Feng, don't be impulsive! That's my precious gold iPhone 5! I saved up for it by working for two months during the summer. If you smash it, I'll have no reason to live!" Wang Zikai seemed to have anticipated Lin Feng's urge to throw the phone and lunged forward at the critical moment, snatching his beloved gold phone back.
"Who posted this thread?" Lin Feng frowned. If I find out who it was, they're dead. Isn't this defaming me?
The fact that Lin Feng managed to cushion Li Liping's fall with his body was already a reaction beyond human limits. At that moment, he was easily over ten meters away from her, and Li Liping fell in less than a second. How could he possibly have caught her while standing?
The impact had indeed left his chest and abdomen a bit uncomfortable. Feigning unconsciousness was a spur-of-the-moment decision to prevent his actions from seeming too outrageous... and, of course, to cop a feel from a few great beauties!
"Looking at the ID, it's a new account. Either a freshman or someone intentionally using a burner account!" Zhong Jialiang glanced at the poster's information and said with a frown. "Unless we get the administrator to look up the registration information, we can't find him!"
"You're always on your computer, do you know anything about hacking? Can't we just hack the campus network and find his details?" Lin Feng frowned and glanced at Zhong Jialiang. This guy's always on his computer; surely he doesn't just play games, right?
Speaking of hacking, Lin Feng suddenly thought of Xiang Wang from the White Wolf Squad, whose callsign was Virus. If Virus were here, he could probably help me quickly find out the real identity of that poster!
"Damn... Brother Feng, do you think the campus network system is easy to hack? The development of the Jiangzhou University campus network was outsourced. It's a Blue Shield Electronics product, frequently updated with patches, so its security is very good!" Zhong Jialiang shook his head. "I have indeed studied a little offensive and defensive tech, but really, I've just scratched the surface..."
"Who are the administrators of the campus network?" Lin Feng frowned. Since a brute-force hack wasn't feasible, he'd have to rely on his connections.
"Most of the current administrators on the forum are students from the Information Engineering Department, mainly officers from their department's Student Union!" Zhong Jialiang had some knowledge about this and finally pointed Lin Feng in a direction.
"The Student Union? That should be easy to handle…" Lin Feng replied confidently. Looks like I'll need to bother Ma Enhua once again.
"But Brother Feng, there's something I need to tell you. Please don't get angry!" Zhong Jialiang suddenly said nervously to Lin Feng.
"What kind of nonsense is that? How am I supposed to know if I'll be angry if you don't tell me?" Lin Feng glanced at Zhong Jialiang and said casually, "Spit it out already!"
"Actually, Sister Li Liping replied to the post last night, stating that the poster violated her image rights and requested the thread to be deleted…" Zhong Jialiang took Wang Zikai's mobile phone, pointing to a reply from an ID named 'Li Liping from Jiangzhou University'. "Then the poster replied to her very arrogantly..."
Wang Zikai pointed to another comment.
Lin Feng clearly saw that the thread starter, with the ID 'I am the Greatest,' had replied to Li Liping: "Sorry, Sister Li, but you participated in the program. Since you didn't specify that no photos were allowed, my filming was perfectly legal. I own the rights to these photos, and I can do whatever I want with them!"
THUD!
With a single punch, Lin Feng smashed Wang Zikai's beloved iPhone 5 to smithereens!
"Bastard!" Lin Feng gnashed his teeth. "I'm going to find him and teach him that might makes right!"
