Chapter 22: The Curtain Falls

It only took Wang Wei a phone call for Lu Zhihang's second elder brother to appear outside the hospital ward. He still hadn't taken off his police uniform, and he seemed a bit nervous when he opened the ward door.

Wang Wei was startled. Seeing it was Lu Nanjing, he calmed down. He nodded in greeting and then left.

"Where were you injured? How serious is it? Let me take a look!" Without saying a word, Lu Nanjing walked up and grabbed Lu Zhihang's hand. His expression was extremely tense.

Lu Zhihang: …

"Can you guys stop being so nervous? People who don't know might think I'm dying. It's just a minor injury." Lu Zhihang rolled his eyes and said weakly.

"Why were you so careless? If you knew there was something wrong with him, why didn't you stay away!" Lu Nanjing glared at him and said coldly.

Lu Zhihang waved his hand without saying a word. Then Lu Nanjing sat down on the chair beside him.

"Have you been on the game these days?" Lu Zhihang suddenly asked.

Lu Nanjing was stunned for a moment. "No. Why?"

Lu Zhihang thoughtfully stroked his chin. "Then don't log in for a while. Wait until my hand gets better."

Lu Nanjing was taken aback. "Why?"

"For no reason. Aren't you, the captain of the criminal investigation team, busy? Do you still have time to log in?" Lu Zhihang said confidently.

Lu Nanjing: …

"Alright, alright. You've seen me. Go back quickly. The young officers in your team will cry if they can't see their captain daddy." Lu Zhihang didn't hesitate to shoo him away. Lu Nanjing didn't know what expression to make towards his younger brother.

Finally getting rid of Lu Nanjing and finishing the last drip, Lu Zhihang couldn't wait to get into the chauffeur-driven car and head home.

"The filming on the set has been suspended. After such a big incident, the director didn't dare to continue shooting. Don't go out these days. Stay at home. I'll bring your three meals to you. Don't cause any more trouble for me." Wang Wei said tiredly.

Lu Zhihang didn't pester him this time. He just gave a faint smile and waved goodbye.

When he got home, Lu Zhihang threw himself onto the sofa. Without noticing, he accidentally pressed on his injured hand, and he almost jumped up in pain.

Sucking in air through his teeth, Lu Zhihang felt a sense of despair well up in his heart.

He knew he had forgotten something...

The pain made him suddenly remember. Wasn't he supposed to fight Han Jiulihe tonight?

...Damn it!

This really was a bad time! Lu Zhihang cursed Zuo Yang in his heart. He shuffled into the storage room of his house and rummaged through a pile of electronic devices to find an extremely complicated mouse.

This mouse was a limited edition from a few years ago. At that time, he just thought it was fun and bought it, but after using it for a few days, he found it boring and threw it into the storage room.

There was a reason why he was digging it out today.

In a way, this mouse could even be considered a small keyboard. There were many buttons on the inner side of the mouse, and each of these buttons corresponded to a hotkey on the keyboard. It could almost support playing games with one hand.

After reconnecting it to the computer, Lu Zhihang logged into the game to test it out and felt the feel of it.

It seemed pretty good. At least it was very useful for his half - disabled hand now.

While Lu Zhihang was still testing his mouse, a frenzy started on the Internet.

[List the amorous history of a certain star surnamed Zuo]

[Here is the most complete crime - teaching guide. It's simple and easy to learn. The only requirement is that you have to be a star]

[Framing others only to be deeply investigated. Is this a moral decay or a distortion of human nature?]

...

The above titles were already considered ordinary.

After the news of Lu Zhihang's injury broke out, many fans didn't even have time to react before they saw the revelations about Zuo Yang.

It detailed all of Zuo Yang's crimes and evidence in detail. At the end, it even tagged the official account of the local police, which immediately attracted their attention. It was overwhelming for everyone.

"Damn it. What's going on these days? It feels so lively!"

"I carefully analyzed the above posts. I think the authenticity is extremely high, maybe up to 50%. Is Zuo Yang going to be finished?"

"It's really terrifying when you think about it. I never thought Zuo Yang would do such a thing!"

"We must conduct a thorough investigation into this matter! @S City Police Department"

"Yes, such things must be thoroughly investigated. As a public figure, doing such disgusting things is really a sign of low moral character!"

...

For a moment, all the arrows were pointing at Zuo Yang.

At this moment, Zuo Yang had no idea about this. He had already been invited to the police station.

Liu Lin also got the news half an hour later. But when he saw the one - sided news on the Internet, he realized that Zuo Yang's situation was hopeless.

He immediately started to make statements to try to distance himself from this matter, stating that he didn't know Zuo Yang had done these things.

The netizens seemed very forgiving and said they understood Liu Lin's statement.

This secretly relieved Liu Lin, but the uneasiness deep in his heart still made him very anxious. He immediately dialed a phone number.

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered. The color drained from Liu Lin's face in an instant.

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door. Liu Lin's hand shook and his phone fell to the ground.

"Open the door. Police!"

A sharp shout made the nervous Liu Lin sit down on the ground directly. His face was as white as a sheet.

Finally, the police broke down Liu Lin's door and took him away.

He was still struggling until he got in the car. "No! I didn't do anything. I don't know anything. You can't arrest me. You can't arrest me!"

"Save your words for the police station." The policeman who pushed him into the police car said coldly.

Liu Lin couldn't stop shaking all over. When he saw Zuo Yang in the interrogation room, he was so angry that he rushed up and wanted to beat him up. Finally, he was carried away by a group of policemen.

"Confess. You have nowhere to go now." The young team captain threw the file on the interrogation table and said calmly.

Zuo Yang was like a rusty machine. He was in a daze for a long time before he slowly raised his head and looked at the policeman in front of him.

He stared at Lu Nanjing for a long time, moved his lips, and said hoarsely, "You look a lot like Lu Zhihang. Has anyone ever told you that?"

Lu Nanjing paused for a moment. He folded his hands and leaned on the edge of the table, looking at Zuo Yang. "Let me introduce myself. I'm Lu Nanjing, Lu Zhihang's second elder brother."

Zuo Yang's pupils shrank sharply. Then he regained his composure. He looked up at Lu Nanjing. After a while, he gave a bitter smile. "So that's how it is..."

Night slowly fell. Regarding the matter of Zuo Yang, the official account of the police station finally released a message, stating that they had arrested the two suspects, Zuo Yang and Liu Lin. The follow - up investigation of the case was still in progress. They also indicated that they hoped everyone wouldn't be misled by rumors and should chase stars rationally. Along with the news was also a processed audio file that revealed Liu Lin's crimes.
