From Gao Yuming, a member of the provincial party committee, governor, and secretary of the political and legal affairs commission, to notorious village chiefs, local thugs, and petty hooligans, the arrest and prosecution of tens of thousands of people across the province and city made it the largest anti-gang and anti-crime campaign in Chinese history.

The trial was swift, lasting only three days. Bai Xue's case was retried, and Li Jun, Li Jun's parents, Li Changwei (the municipal party secretary), Ma Xiaobing (the director of the Ludong branch), and all those involved in the case to varying degrees who interfered with it were all arrested.

"The Follower of Light," composed by Chen Feng and featuring Zhang Liangying, the queen of Mandopop, whispers to everyone tonight, reaching every family that has ever been shrouded in darkness.

Just as the lyrics say:

"Hearing the gray rumors whistling past my ears"

"Right and wrong intertwine to form the vine of thought."

"The umbrella, unable to provide shelter, festers in the backlight."

I saw a thousand sails shining through the parting clouds.

The song "Follower of the Light" has reached new heights in its lyrics and artistic conception, even prompting comments from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and CCTV.

The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television stated: "Chen Feng truly deserves to be called a 'God of Pop' since the establishment of the Chinese music rating system. His song 'Follower of the Light' perfectly captures both darkness and light, while also telling the world that the Chinese music scene is not incapable of creating good music. The rich history and culture we possess make us proud. We hope that talents like Chen Feng will emerge in all walks of life, continuously contributing to the development of Chinese culture."

CCTV: "The Umbrella That Cannot Be Hidden Rots in the Backlight, I See a Thousand Sails Shining Through the Clouds, the Theme Song for the Anti-Organized Crime Campaign in Panda Province, with lyrics and music by a top-tier singer in the Chinese music scene, sung by Cassiopeia Zhang Liangying, as always, the lyrics, music, and vocals are all masterpieces..."

"No, I've smoked three packs of cigarettes and still can't figure it out. Isn't this supposed to be a theme song for a crackdown on organized crime? Why am I crying when I listen to it?"

"I feel that the lyrics for this song have reached their peak. Fengshen, I have lost count of how many times I have knelt before you."

"Hello Chen Feng, at this moment, I don't know how to thank you. I am a girl who has been bullied for a long time. For three years, I have been humiliated day and night by several classmates from powerful families, to the point that I have become numb."

I resisted, but what I got in return was even harsher beatings, sometimes even ending up in the hospital. Yet, each time, they managed to get away with it.

But yesterday, their parents were arrested, and they were expelled from school for long-term bullying. I'm so glad I'm still alive. I'm strong. I searched for light in the darkness, and finally, I saw the sails. Thank you for this song, thank you to the country, thank you to the government.

"I followed the light and saw my dream crown me; now, I see the light, justice is great and glorious, and invincible."

Three days later.

The explosive popularity of "The Light Follower" is undeniable. While the world is promoting this song and paying attention to the crackdown on organized crime in Panda Province, a trivial matter occurred in a rental house in an urban village in Chengdu-Chongqing.

That day, Wang Wei in room 502 was sleeping. He had spent half the night playing games and then watched TV series for several hours before finally falling into a deep sleep.

This wasn't the first time he'd done this; it happened every night. The reason he had such a wonderful life was because he chose to lie down. A life without work is wonderful and carefree.

Every time Wang Wei used a tissue, he would think that he must not do it again tomorrow and that he should be more restrained. But even when he felt uncomfortable from the swelling, he still couldn't help but see the glue.

As for TV dramas, he's already watched millions of views, but his favorites are still drama-driven ones, like NTR, first love, encounter, betrayal, coercion, and so on.

Every time I say I'll watch for a while, but every time I click in, I keep fast-forwarding and then switch to the next one. I watch dozens of them every night, and then I finally find one that really hits my sweet spot.

He looked pale and thin, and the room reeked of a disgusting smell.

The rented room was small, containing only a bed, a few small tables and a wardrobe. On the table, an old computer was all of Wang Wei's belongings.

He had only moved to this place a month ago, and he had heard that a celebrity had lived here before. Wang Wei disdained to listen to such rumors; what celebrity would live in such a squalid place?

At that moment, Wang Wei was dreaming of dating Bai Taohua from a TV series. Just as things were getting passionate, the door to his rented room suddenly rang.

He sat up abruptly, startled awake.

Who is it?

"Hello, are you Wang Wei?"

A soft, sweet voice appeared, startling Wang Wei. His lower body reacted immediately. He couldn't help it; although he was quick, his needs were strong.

Who are you?

"Could you open the door? I need to talk to you."

The sound outside the door was sweet and tingling, making him lose his sense of direction.

He opened the door without any suspicion, and there stood a graceful young lady. Underneath her floral dress, her thighs were encased in black stockings, making them appear round and straight—in short, very nice.

Zhao Yashuang smiled sweetly, suppressing the overwhelming nausea, and said, "Can I discuss something with you?"

"ah...."

"Hello!"

Wang Wei's mind was buzzing, and he was swallowing hard. He had never seen such a beautiful real-life girl in his life; he usually only saw her in TV dramas.

"Ah...you...hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

Wang Wei stuttered.

"Hey handsome, can I rent this apartment? Don't worry, I won't give you the deposit or rent, and I'll even give you an extra 10,000 yuan. What do you think?"

Zhao Yashuang said.

"ah?"

Wang Wei was stunned. He didn't know if the young woman in front of him was mentally ill. He knew very well how filthy and messy his own hut was. How could such a beautiful woman want to rent such a house and give him 10,000 yuan?

"Don't worry, I'm not a scammer. I can give you the money first, and then you can move out, okay?"

As Zhao Yashuang spoke, a thick stack of Chinese Yuan appeared before Wang Wei's eyes, golden and very tempting.

Wang Wei had never seen so much money in his life. His eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn't think straight at that moment and asked in a trembling voice, "Really?"

"Really, but there's a condition: you have to move out as soon as possible, how about this afternoon?"

Faced with the temptation of ten thousand yuan and the face of the pretty young lady, Wang Wei succumbed on the spot, snatched the money with lightning speed, and said, "No need for the afternoon, I... I'll leave now."

After saying that, he ignored the young lady and went straight into the house to start packing. Of course, he didn't have much to pack. With ten thousand yuan in his hand, those tattered clothes and tattered blankets weren't worth keeping.

So Wang Wei took the phone and ran away.

Wang Wei was just a minor incident; the real incident was Lin Yun. This guy's entrance was quite comical. He had a thick bandage on his head and walked with a limp, looking exactly like the legendary Third Brother.

"So, is everything all set up?"

His mouth was lisp, he had lost several teeth, and speaking had become a problem.

Seeing Lin Yun's miserable state, Zhao Yashuang wanted to laugh but dared not, and replied, "It's all taken care of, but are you sure you want to do this? What if..."

"What do you mean 'what if'? If that scumbag Chen Feng can do it, why can't I? This is the place where he was poisoned by gas. I'm replicating it exactly as it is. How could it not work?"

Lin Yun has had a terrible few days. He was brutally beaten by his uncle at the hotel, and he blamed it all on Chen Feng. In addition, Chen Feng's book "The Light Follower" became a huge hit, and he had nowhere to vent his jealousy and anger.

There was no other way, really no other way; he had no other choice but to take this step.
