Chapter 506

Feng Mu had indeed wronged Zhou Hu.

He was indeed currently in some dark corner, being poured by a garbage truck into a massive glass container, enduring circle after circle of tumbling and stirring.

But he probably had no time to watch the live broadcast.

However, this no longer mattered; Zhou Hu was merely one among the tens of millions of viewers before the broadcast.

Feng Mu shouted "Zhou Hu's" name, seemingly engaging in a remote dialogue with him through the camera; in truth, the one he truly wanted to convey his voice to did not include Zhou Hu at all.

Rather, it was those tens of millions of other people.

What he wanted to convey was not that "Zhou Hu" was guilty, but that he, Feng Mu, spoke for justice.

Being a mastermind villain behind the scenes while forging a golden body of justice on the stage was an instinct as natural as breathing.

Only by being ever brighter under the spotlight could one dive deeper into the abyss behind the light.

"This kid is the one I told you about, Qian Huan's most loyal confidant."

Inside a certain luxurious large flat, Li Hanyu, wearing silk pajamas, half-nestled in Wang Xinfa's embrace, looked at the television screen and spoke.

"Called Feng Mu, right? He was nearly sent to the Patrol Bureau before."

Wang Xinfa had a vague impression in his heart; at this moment he glanced at the screen a couple more times and said blandly,

"At such a young age his rhetoric that twists black and white already has three parts of my skill; your son has pretty much been whitewashed anew and can sit firmly in the Prison Warden position, so the heart you've had hanging can be put down now, right."

Feng Mu's interlocking maneuvers at the press conference could fool the audience in front of the TV, but they couldn't fool him.

He didn't need to investigate; with just a slight glance he knew what those evidences were about, and could roughly tell that Bai Ye and Ma Xuan were tightly held in Feng Mu's grip.

Li Hanyu's fingers slid toward Wang Xinfa's pants zipper, smiling:

"What do you mean 'my son', acting distant; my son isn't your son too~"

Wang Xinfa laughed heartily; he just liked this mature beauty's charm, and he said with satisfaction:

"You're right, he's my son too; I'll have the Patrol Bureau cooperate with the Second Prison District and issue a notice online right away."

The notice was released with extreme speed.

While Feng Mu was still delivering his closing summation on stage, the reporters' phones down below lit up one after another.

Someone looked down to check, then whispered and discussed softly with the person next to them.

Feng Mu narrowed his eyes slightly; Liu Yi down below rapidly tapped the keyboard.

The projector next to him swiftly switched to the Patrol Bureau's official website information.

Beside it, Deng Jia Jia directed the camera to focus on the projector, sending the content on the projection into the eyes of viewers in thousands of households.

【Major Case Bulletin】

After our bureau's special task force conducted in-depth investigations into the Gong Lao Case and the Chen Yang Case, the criminal suspect Zhou Hu (Zone Chief of the Second Prison Light Zone) has now been locked down.

Evidence indicates Zhou Hu is suspected of organizing and planning multiple extremely major vicious cases; it is now decided to issue a district-wide wanted order for him.

(Attached: Wanted Order Number A9_233XXX_451)

The Patrol Bureau's bulletin was quite brief, but combined with the case investigation report being released by the Second Prison District, any viewer with a bit of brains could figure out that the Patrol Bureau's official bulletin actually formed a perfect echo with the press conference scene.

The Second Prison District's case could be considered thoroughly settled — the chief culprit was Zhou Hu!

You can suspect the prison's self-investigation has issues, but you cannot suspect the Patrol Bureau's impartiality.

Especially when the internal self-investigation's results receive the Patrol Bureau's endorsement and confirmation.

If you still suspect, then you are... a person the Nine Districts do not welcome!

In front of the television.

Luo Ji, wearing pitch-black sunglasses, revealed a hint of astonishment on his face, pointed at the TV and said:

"This person is Feng Mu, my high school classmate, also Feng Yuhuai's older brother."

Zhang Liyou and Cui Cui likewise stared at the television.

The three of them did not care about the Second Prison's truth; they watched the TV live broadcast purely because they had been "won over as fans" by Guangliang Television Station.

Haters are fans too!

Zhang Liyou and Cui Cui also recognized the man on the screen; they had previously seen Feng Mu come to the school to cheer for Feng Yuhuai.

"Feng Mu's change is too great; I almost didn't recognize him."

He found it hard to overlap the person on TV with the lonely figure in his memory who always sat in the classroom corner, keeping company with the trash can.

"Feel like the change on him is even greater than the change on me." Luo Ji pondered silently in his heart.

Zhang Liyou keenly caught the key point in Luo Ji's words; she looked at him suspiciously and asked:

"This person wasn't like this before?"

Luo Ji shook his head, his tone extremely certain:

"I can't describe it to you; I can only say his temperament is completely different, simply like a different person."

Zhang Liyou's pupils shrank slightly, as if associating something.

While Cui Cui didn't want to think that much; she pointed straight at the core issue and asked:

"So, do you guys think this person is the 'Mu' of 【Protection of the Curtain】?"

From last night to now, the three of them had carefully studied 【Protection of the Curtain】's destiny chart again.

Although they hadn't researched any substantive results, they already knew that the "Mu" character of 【Protection of the Curtain】 was not Feng Mu's "Mu" character.

Although not the same character, it was the same sound; plus the two were siblings; in short, all three felt Feng Mu's suspicion was still very high.

At least, before a more powerful suspect is found, Feng Mu is the number one suspect of 【Protection of the Curtain】.

Luo Ji pondered and said: "Hard to say; we'll have to find a way to make close contact."

Zhang Liyou asked: "What do you mean?"

Luo Ji answered:

"I need to use the mirror... cough, the mirror fragment to shine on him. As long as his fate pattern shows up, maybe there will be an answer."

Luo Ji had already tried using the mirror fragment to shine on people; it could still reveal their fate patterns, but the exposure took longer, and the distance had to be extremely close—almost skin-to-skin.

Of course, a close-up shot through the TV wouldn't work; that could only capture the television set itself, not the people inside the TV.

Photos were the same principle.

Cui Cui heard this, jumped in fright, and exclaimed:

"No, no, this is too dangerous. If you're discovered, you'll lose your life."

Zhang Liyou nodded in agreement: "Not a bad quick method."

Luo Ji glanced at the two of them and said in a low voice:

"It shouldn't be too dangerous. After all, he and I were high school classmates, he doesn't know I know Feng Yuhuai. If I go find him, he won't think much of it, and the reasons are all ready-made..."

An old classmate appearing on TV, striking it rich—inviting him out to catch up and reminisce is perfectly reasonable, right?

To be honest, Luo Ji's urgent desire to kill Feng Yuhuai was now more than a hundred times stronger than before, possibly even exceeding the other two people in the room in their eagerness for revenge.

After all, his mirror was shattered to pieces, not only missing several fragments but also unable to be glued back together.

He now had to consider that the mirror was permanently half-destroyed and could not be repaired.

In that case, Feng Yuhuai's Protection of the Curtain might be the first and last fate pattern he could bind and steal.

He had to cherish it, cherish it deeply.

"By then, calling Wang Jian, Dong Ni, Tao Fei, and Sun Yi all out together would reduce the danger even further."

Luo Ji had made up his mind and turned his gaze back to the TV.
