Chapter 54 Blacklist
Chapter 54 Blacklist
A hero who bravely saved lives?
Upon hearing this title, Lin Jianlu was so astonished that she felt as if the whole world was forcibly instilling a strange and magical power into her.
You mean, Chen Chen, that ultimate idiot whose mind is filled with nothing but the Second World War, is actually a wonderful young man who saved someone's life!?
She felt this was like Chen Chen's fantasy before he was kicked into the river and drowned by a passerby after asking someone, "Should I download the God of Death or be kicked into the river?"
Of course, objectively speaking, Chen Chen can swim, and he learned to swim a long time ago. When he was in elementary school, she took him swimming in the river.
However, being able to swim does not mean you can save someone!
At the same time, being able to save lives does not mean daring to save lives!
Moreover, daring to save people does not mean being able to save them!
The situation in the water is very complicated. Even professional lifeguards can be pulled down by drowning people, let alone ordinary people like Chen Chen.
Therefore, Lin Jianlu simply does not believe that Chen Chen is a hero who bravely rescued a woman from drowning.
Of course, the main reason is that this is the first time she has ever heard of this matter.
Given her level of understanding of Chen Chen, it's astonishing that she didn't know about such a big matter. It's like someone reading Dragon Raja fanfiction still thinking Jiangnan's wooden zither hasn't fallen off, or someone following Rent-a-Girlfriend still thinking that Sister Qianhe is a pure and innocent girl. It's utterly ridiculous.
Therefore, she immediately shook her head at Yan Yiyan:
"You've got it wrong. What hero who saved lives? Absolutely not! Either you're mistaken, or there's some hero who shares the same name as Chen Chen!"
However, Yan Yiyan seriously denied Lin Jianlu's denial.
"No, it's not Chen Chen. Although he doesn't want to talk about it, I've really checked it carefully."
As she spoke, she took out her phone and showed Lin Jianlu a video.
"Look, there was even a TV station reporting on it back then."
"Recently, a drowning accident occurred near the West Canal Park in our city. Fortunately, some bystanders bravely rescued the drowning person. The person's vital signs are currently stable and there is no immediate danger."
The video taken at the scene shows a noisy crowd surrounding two people who were soaking wet—one was a middle-aged woman in her thirties or forties, and the other was probably a teenager. Their faces were blurred, so they couldn't see clearly, but they were both shivering and even coughing up water, as if they had just survived a disaster and looked very frightened.
"You've blurred it all out, how can anyone see it clearly?"
"No way, you can't even tell it's Chen Chen?! Look at those legs, look at that butt, and that bulge between his legs, isn't that Chen Chen at first glance?"
Lin Jianlu put down her phone, opened her mouth slightly, and silently looked at Yan Yiyan with an indescribable expression of confusion.
So, why are you so interested in Chen Chen's legs, buttocks, and that bulge between his legs...?
"Oh no! Don't focus on those details!"
The girl quickly waved her hand, as if she realized that what she had just said was a bit ambiguous. Her fair face flushed with two blushes of embarrassment in the setting sun.
"Anyway, this is Chen Chen! I overheard that Japanese girl talking to him... Oh my god, that girl spoke incredibly fast! Luckily, my Japanese listening comprehension is, if not the best in the world, at least unbeatable in the class! I quickly figured out that she was talking to him about saving someone from drowning! So when I searched 'Chen Chen' and 'saving someone from drowning' on a short video app, this was the first result I saw!"
You're talking nonsense about being the best in the class. Because listening comprehension doesn't count towards the total score, and the last time we had a listening test was in our first year of high school, and the Japanese teacher even messed up the settings and played it twice, which resulted in everyone getting full marks. If you really want to say something, then everyone is the best in the class.
However, Lin Jianlu certainly wouldn't stoop to the level of the self-important Yan Yiyan. Fools need care, not belittlement. She's already so foolish, so what's wrong with giving her some leeway?
However, through her words, Lin Jianlu learned something she had always wanted to know but had never had the chance to ask.
The reason Akashi Mio came to see Chen Chen was not because of the abortion she had imagined, but because of a drowning accident.
Sigh, that's why she's been ruined by that damn system. She's constantly paranoid, always talking about abortions or being a mistress, as if she's already married to Chen Chen.
Well, actually, from the system's perspective, she did indeed get a marriage certificate with Chen Chen, and even a death certificate. The current Chen Chen is actually taking the place of her son.
But what's puzzling is why Chen Chen never mentioned this to him?
As his mother... no, his childhood sweetheart, she felt it was necessary for him to tell her about things like this, after all, their relationship wasn't bad.
Except for one possibility—that it wasn't Chen Chen at all.
Lin Jianlu also felt that it wasn't Chen Chen. If it were Chen Chen, that big-brained idiot would have already led that bunch of brain-dead idiots in the anime club to spread the news throughout the school. How could he be so low-key?
Yes! That makes sense. The boy's face in the video was blurred, so it's very likely that it wasn't him. Even if it was Chen Chen, it might just be someone with the same name.
However, it should be noted that Lin Jianlu is a very meticulous person, and she would never make a hasty conclusion about something without actual evidence.
So now that she has Akashi Mio's contact information, she can ask her to find out what exactly happened.
Thinking of this, Lin Jianlu immediately looked down, took out her phone, and sent a message to Akashi Mio.
[Lin Jianlu: I have something I want to ask you, are you there?]
After waiting quietly for a while, Akashi Mio did not reply.
[Lin Jianlu: What's going on? I just asked you something, I didn't insult you, reply to me now!]
Then, there was still no reply.
You little bastard, you're asking for it, aren't you! You really should thank the police officer. If it weren't for him, I would have cursed you so badly you'd be in debt to three xylophones!
[Lin Jianlu: If you don't reply, I'm going to go to the police station again just to insult your xylophone!]
Realizing that not only herself but also the xylophone was in danger of being insulted, the other party hurriedly sent a message.
[Akashi Mio: 4. Regarding the final request: I am only waiting for the transfer and settlement of this medical expense.]
5. Warning: If I do not receive the payment within 168 hours (7 calendar days), I will consider this mediation a failure and reserve the right to request further intervention from the public security authorities or pursue subsequent compensation for lost wages through legal channels.
Oh right, I was wondering why. I forgot to transfer the money. It's Friday already, I really should have done it.
Lin Jianlu scratched his head awkwardly.
[Lin Jianlu: Transferred 2000 yuan]
[Akashi Mio has received payment]
[Lin Jianlu: Now you should tell me, how did Chen Chen save people?]
[Lin Jianlu: Huh? What's with this red exclamation mark?!]
[Lin Jianlu: Holy crap, I got blocked?!]
