Chapter 286 - 189: To Have Such a Nightmare
As Hu Zhicong was sent flying, his mind went blank. ’This isn’t how it was supposed to go!’
THUD!~
After flying several more meters, he slammed hard onto the ground with a violent crash. A sharp pain shot through his body, and he couldn’t stop himself from spitting up a mouthful of blood.
He stared wide-eyed at Chen Jincheng for a moment before passing out cold.
Suddenly, everything was quiet again.
Everyone stared, dumbfounded, at Chen Jincheng.
When the man rushed onto the stage with a dagger, everyone thought disaster was about to strike. But what happened next was something no one could have possibly expected.
The man had been sent flying with an over-the-shoulder throw, just like a sandbag.
He had even flown several meters before the impact knocked him out cold.
’Is that something a normal person can even do?’
Chen Jincheng looked at the dumbfounded crowd, then raised the microphone with a broad smile. "I don’t know who that guy is, but it seems he forgot that I’m also the number one fitness expert on the entire internet!"
Despite being attacked, he was in a surprisingly good mood.
He’d been wondering how to establish his new persona as the "number one fitness expert on the entire internet" ever since the Fitness Expert Card had enhanced his physique. He just needed a breakthrough moment.
And now, an opportunity had just served itself up on a silver platter.
Looking at the television cameras, he knew this incident would definitely make the news tomorrow. Given the current hype around the *Divination Dance*, it was guaranteed to lock down a spot on Tiao Yin’s trending topics.
’In other words, the guy who ambushed me is actually a pretty good person.’
But upon hearing his words, the underclassmen in the audience were utterly speechless.
’Seriously, is this really the time for that?’
’Senior, isn’t your focus a little misplaced?’
’Shouldn’t you be more concerned about who that guy is and why he attacked you?’
Just then, the university’s security guards finally reacted, belatedly rushing forward to surround the unconscious Hu Zhicong.
This, however, caused the expressions of school leaders like Huang Yanfang to darken.
’For something like this to happen, and with such a slow response time... the security department is completely incompetent.’
Soon, police sirens wailed across the Ganjiang University campus.
Someone must have called the police right away. With a station located right next to the university, officers were dispatched immediately.
The officer in charge was a man named Li. After arriving with his team, he immediately inquired about the situation before moving to check on the unconscious assailant.
With video evidence from the scene, Officer Li quickly got a grasp of what happened.
’But the attacker isn’t exactly a small guy. And he was thrown that far and knocked out cold?’
His gaze was a little strange as he looked at Chen Jincheng, and he subconsciously swallowed. "Mr. Chen, we’ll need you to come with us to file a report and give a statement."
"Okay." Chen Jincheng didn’t object. ’It’s every citizen’s duty to cooperate with the police.’
Before long, he was at the police station next to the university. Xiaoju had stayed by his side, and the two school leaders, Huang Yanfang and He Fang, had also come along.
Li Suwan also seized the opportunity to tag along. After all, the *Divination Dance* video she shot had gone viral, so under the guise of worrying about her "benefactor," no one would find her presence suspicious.
Although, she genuinely was worried about Chen Tongxue.
...
"Mr. Chen, are you sure you don’t know the assailant?" Officer Li asked doubtfully. "The man shouted your name; he was clearly targeting you. It seems unlikely that you wouldn’t know him."
’Could this be a hired attack?’
"Officer Li, I’d like to know who he is, too," Chen Jincheng replied cooperatively.
"Well, have you offended anyone recently, Mr. Chen?" Officer Li pressed.
Chen Jincheng immediately replied, "Officer, I always get along with everyone. Everybody knows I’m a good guy."
Officer Li looked at him and offered a thoughtful reminder, "Mr. Chen, I suggest you think very carefully. Especially when it comes to romantic relationships. A lot of men get very impulsive over things like that."
He had just reviewed the man’s file, so he was naturally aware of his reputation as "the internet’s number one scumbag." He even knew that many people online had bestowed upon him the title of "Ancestral Master."
Therefore, he felt this was definitely a promising line of investigation.
After all, cases like this were extremely common.
And the primary victims were almost always scumbags just like him.
Chen Jincheng took issue with that question and immediately replied with a serious and solemn expression, "Officer Li, that’s completely impossible. All that stuff online is just slander. I never mess around with women. I’m single right now, and I haven’t even been with a woman all year."
’For this kind of question, there’s only one possible answer. No other answer will do.’
"..." Upon hearing this, Officer Li stared at him, dumbfounded. His cheek even began to twitch.
’Is he serious?’
The officer responsible for typing up the report on the computer looked at Chen Jincheng as if he had seen a ghost.
The officer was young and knew a lot about what went on online. He was well aware of how many women this guy had been involved with and knew exactly what kind of scumbag he was.
And now this guy was spouting such nonsense without so much as blushing.
He had the gall to say it, but the officer was too embarrassed to even type it into the record.
But out of professional duty, he began typing on the computer:
Chen Jincheng: Officer Li, that’s completely impossible. All that stuff online is just slander. I never mess around with women. I’m single right now, and I haven’t even been with a woman all year.
