Chapter 146 Chapter 146 [Public Opinion Guidance]

While thinking about these things, Lin Yimu did not forget to ask: "Professor, what is the situation now?"

Upon hearing this, the serious expression on Professor Zheng's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a smile. He said: "Although it will be a bit troublesome, as long as they investigate it thoroughly, it will be fine. It's just that your bonus may be delayed, and you may not be able to apply for the Abel Prize this year." Professor Zheng felt a little regretful at the end.

After all, Lin Yimu's talent in mathematics was really outstanding, especially his achievement of proving two mathematical conjectures. He had a place in the Abel Prize no matter how you looked at it. Even if he was not selected, he could have been a candidate. But his chances were ruined because of this incident.

Moreover, some people in their own country actually reprinted their articles, insinuating that Lin Yimu was stealing other people's achievements. This made Professor Zheng very angry and confused. He didn't know what was wrong with their brains that they did not support capable scholars in their own country, but agreed with a foreigner who anyone with a discerning eye could see had problems.

However, when he thought about how these people were scolded, Professor Zheng felt relieved. He even said to the thoughtful Lin Yimu in a good mood: "In addition to the small troubles I just mentioned, there is an even smaller trouble, which is about your fans."

"This, my fans?" Lin Yimu was originally deep in thought but was awakened by this sentence. He didn't understand how it was related to his fans?

Professor Zheng nodded. "That's right. Didn't someone repost that article before? Then your fans saw it and argued with them. Gradually, the whole internet knew about it."

When Lin Yi Mu heard the words "fight with reason", his heart suddenly started beating fast, because he knew his fans. If he really fought with reason, Lin Yi Mu wouldn't have been teased and been on the hot search list all the time.

Thinking of this, Lin Yimu sighed with mixed feelings. Yesterday he was still thinking about trying not to occupy public resources and concentrating on study and scientific research, but today he was given this hot melon, which really went against his idea.

"I know what you mean, professor. I will check the situation online later and ask everyone to be more restrained." Lin Yimu covered his face with his hands worriedly and said.

Professor Zheng was in a good mood and waved his hand, saying, "Well, I think they did a good job this time."

Lin Yimu looked at Professor Zheng, who was smiling happily, in confusion and said nothing more. After leaving the office, he took out his mobile phone and started checking the situation on Weibo.

But the moment Lin Yimu opened Weibo, his phone was jammed by the private messages and tagged messages he received.

After Lin Yimu's phone was finally restored, he read the messages from netizens who tagged him and the information in private messages. Only then did he understand why Professor Zheng seemed so happy.

Because Lin Yimu was very happy to see the comments from netizens who were accusing him of stealing other people's achievements. Although he still rushed forward in a swarm, his words were no longer as aggressive as before. Instead, he started to use the same sarcastic tone as the other party, causing the marketing accounts that reposted those comments from the outside world to go from arguing with his fans in the beginning to stopping in the end.

[Is this marketing account just making up stories to cheer us up? 】

[Look, these marketing accounts have started talking nonsense again. If anyone believes them, they will probably cry their eyes out. 】

[Isn't this another walking 500,000 people who makes up stories without considering the facts? 】

[I am probably going to die of laughter at this trending search. I can’t help laughing just by reading everyone’s comments. 】

As for what Professor Zheng said about the whole network knowing about it, it is indeed true. Even though his fans imitated Lin Daiyu's words in a sarcastic tone, they were still strong enough to make his news a hot topic. Even the fans' Lin Daiyu quotes made netizens enjoy the fun.

Lin Yi Mu was also watching and laughing. If they were not walking on the road, Lin Yi Mu would have laughed to the point of tears. Even this made the students who were passing by and attending classes couldn't help but look at him sideways.

After understanding the development of the situation, Lin Yimu felt that under the current circumstances, there seemed to be nothing that required him to step in. His fans and netizens from Country Z were not fools either. They all saw very clearly that the whole thing was a conspiracy against Lin Yimu, so the situation was almost stabilized now.

Thinking of this, Lin Yimu was about to exit the hot search on Weibo and turn off his phone, when he found that a comment under his hot search had been pinned to the top, and it was during the time when he was browsing the comments just now.

Lin Yi Mu carefully read the pinned comment, which was posted by the blogger himself. After reading it, Lin Yi Mu frowned tightly.

[Someone's fans don't have to be so sarcastic. I'm just reposting news from the outside world. What's the point of you jumping up and down and being sarcastic? If you really can't stand it, you can go to the comment section of the outside world and curse. But the question is, do you dare?

Do you dare to guarantee with all your heart that all of Mr. Lin’s papers and research results are his own? Anyway, I don't believe that a person who was ordinary, even mediocre in the first 15 years could change so much in just a few months or even a year or two. He also came up with a mathematical conjecture every year and even discovered a new algorithm for aerospace turbulence during this period. Which of these things could he have achieved in such a short time?

I dare say that even geniuses who have been outstanding since childhood are not as amazing as him. It takes time to accumulate their achievements, but Lin Yimu has not accumulated any time, otherwise he would not have been so mediocre before. That's it. Who dares to say where his achievements came from? Either the country specially created them for the so-called prosperous times, or Lin Yimu is a master hacker who hacked into the computers of those who really deserved these achievements, and thus achieved his current amazing achievements.

To sum up, I don’t believe that a mediocre person can become so smart and so talented in just two years, no, just a few months. There must be something wrong with him! 】

Lin Yimu read the other party's words several times, especially the last part saying that there was something wrong with him. He stayed for a long time. He didn't know why he always felt something was wrong.

And the likes and comments on this pinned comment were climbing at an incredible speed while Lin Yimu was lost in thought.

After frowning and thinking for a while, Lin Yimu fixed his eyes on the other party's last few words.

He thought that he probably understood what the blogger meant. The words between the lines were leading everyone to think that there was something wrong with Lin Yi Mu. As for the thesis stealing incident at the beginning, maybe it was just a trick of the other party. What he really wanted to point out was the change in Lin Yi Mu in such a short period of time.

Sure enough, someone has already started the trend in the comments.

[Now that you mention it, I also find it very strange. It’s like Lin Yimu has been on a roll since he entered high school. 】

[Who said it wasn't true? When he first broadcast the exam live to the entire internet, I found it strange. How could anyone get full marks in every subject? 】

[Yes, yes, I suspected it before, but in the end I was scolded by his fans so much that I dared not say anything. 】

[What the OP said actually makes sense. Just think about it, for ordinary people like us to go from being mediocre to being a top genius in just a few months, it is simply impossible, unless he has some kind of adventure, like what is written in those novels, and gets a cheat or something? 】

…

Lin Yimu's eyes swept over these obviously biased speeches one by one, and his already frowned brows furrowed even tighter.

After a long while, after Lin Yimu finished browsing the messages on this floor, he immediately called Zhang Hechang and told him the current situation and his suspicions.

Zhang Hechang on the other end of the phone, after listening to Lin Yimu's speculation, also said in a slightly deep voice: "We have also been paying attention to this matter. Judging from the comments on the hot search, your speculation is likely correct. Their target is you as a person. They don't care about the paper at all. Their ultimate goal may be to make you suspected and doubted, so that you can't devote yourself to study and research."

At this point, Zhang Hechang's eyes turned cold as he looked at the computer, and then he comforted Lin Yimu, "But don't worry, this matter will be over soon. We in the National Security Bureau are not pushovers. We will not be soft-hearted towards these suspected spies. Just study hard."

After hearing what Zhang Hechang said, Lin Yimu's somewhat uneasy heart finally relaxed, "I understand. Then I will go to prepare for class. I have a physics class in the afternoon." At this point, Lin Yimu suddenly thought of his system tasks, which were about drug research and helping the country complete the development of manned space flight. These were difficult to do by himself, and the progress would be very slow. He thought he should go and talk to the bigwigs above.

Thinking of this, Lin Yimu said to Zhang Hechang on the other end of the phone in a serious tone: "By the way, I have something important to discuss with the person above, and I hope to arrange a time as soon as possible."

Zhang Hechang frowned when he heard Lin Yimu's words, and said with some disapproval: "If you have anything to say, you can just tell me directly. We will do our best to help you."

Listening to Zhang Hechang's serious voice, Lin Yimu could also tell that he disagreed. However, Zhang Hechang couldn't help him with this matter, so he thought for a while and said, "You can't help me with this matter. I need to talk to the higher-ups before we can make a decision. However, I won't make it difficult for you. Just tell the higher-ups that it's related to the mission, and he'll know what it means."

When Zhang Hechang heard Lin Yimu talking about the mission, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he didn't say anything disagreeing and agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Hechang fell into deep thought.

He always thought that the higher-ups asked them to protect Lin Yimu because of his learning ability and talent, but from what Lin Yimu said just now, it seemed that he had some mission, and it was assigned to him directly by the higher-ups.

No one knows what the mission is that requires a future pillar of the country like Lin Yimu to complete it. His people have been following Lin Yimu and haven't noticed him doing anything strange?

Zhang Hechang, who couldn't figure it out, sat in front of the computer with a frown on his face, his baby face full of bitterness, hatred, confusion and doubt.

However, the most urgent matter is still these things on the Internet. Since they are not allowed to know the other things, then they cannot know them, so there is no need to bother guessing.

I have to say that although Zhang Hechang's way of thinking is a little crooked, his awareness is still very good.

While dealing with matters online, Zhang Hechang reported Lin Yimu's words to his superiors and soon received a reply.
