Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Exclusive
When Lin Yimu got home in the evening, he had just returned to his room and put down his schoolbag when the cell phone in his pocket kept ringing.
Lin Yimu took out his mobile phone and saw that everyone in the class group was discussing something enthusiastically. This made Lin Yimu feel a little confused. After all, although the class group was usually lively, there would not be so many messages like today.
Confused, Lin Yimu clicked into the class group and flipped through the chat history. Only then did he realize that the results of the rematch were out. The math teacher had already sent the rankings to the competition group, and someone had moved the rankings to the class group, which aroused everyone's desire to chat.
Lin Yimu left the class group and opened the competition group, and found that the math teacher had indeed posted the rankings. The first place in the first row was Lin Yimu and Huang Minglei (120 in the first test, 180 in the second test, total score 300).
After that it was the second place. Lin Yimu was surprised for a moment when he saw the name of the second place. But then he thought that although the other party was lazy, he was able to rank ninth in the preliminary round, so it was not surprising that he could be promoted to second place in the semi-final. Maybe he is the type of person who appears lazy but works hard behind the scenes?
Lin Yimu looked at Yuan Mingxu, who was ranked second, only one point lower than him and Huang Minglei, and was happy for this new friend. The second place was eligible to join the provincial team.
However, Lin Yimu saw many names behind the second place, but he did not see the names of Ye Yuankai and Mo Shanshan, nor even the names of the remaining seniors from the same school who participated in the competition.
Lin Yimu was relieved only after watching to the end. He saw the names of Ye Yuankai and Mo Shanshan behind the third place. No matter what, these two people would at least get third place in the province. It was just a pity that their ranking might not make it to the finals.
Lin Yimu had just finished reading the list when his phone vibrated a few times. He switched it to see messages from Huang Minglei, Ye Yuankai, and Mo Shanshan.
[Huang Minglei: Congratulations to Mr. Lin for becoming the No. 1 in the province! 】
[Ye Yuankai: Congratulations to Mr. Lin for becoming the best in the province! Does this mean that you will definitely be admitted to the provincial team? You and Huang Minglei will definitely be the main players of the provincial team in the future. Once you join the provincial team, you must work hard to crush those academic masters from other schools! Let them also feel the pain of the dimensionality-reducing attack. It’s a pity that Shanshan and I can’t join the provincial team with you, but we will cheer for you two...】
Lin Yimu felt his eyes were buzzing as he read the long message sent by Ye Yuankai. He could even hear Ye Yuankai talking in his ear without noticing. It really was in line with his talkative nature.
However, Lin Yimu was very suspicious whether Ye Yuankai copied and pasted this long message to both him and Huang Minglei, with the only difference being the name changed.
Thinking of this, after Lin Yimu sent a message of praise to the two of them, he asked Huang Minglei in confusion.
Huang Minglei was actually skeptical before he saw the message from Lin Yimu. Now, after seeing the message from him, he felt a little amused and sent him a screenshot of his chat history.
Lin Yimu looked at the information which was exactly the same except for the order of the names, and an expression of "as expected" appeared on his face. After satisfying his curiosity, Lin Yimu discussed the topic and the matter of joining the provincial team with Huang Minglei for a while before ending the conversation.
When Lin Yimu exited the chat interface and was about to tidy up and read a book, Mo Shanshan's message finally arrived.
[Mo Shanshan: Congratulations on achieving the first place in the province and you will definitely be admitted to the provincial team! 】
Lin Yimu looked at the identical concise messages from Mo Shanshan and Huang Minglei, replied carefully, and congratulated the other party a few words before he settled down to read the book.
But just after he looked at it for a while, the phone, which had been quiet, started buzzing again. Lin Yimu originally planned to mute or turn off the phone, but after seeing the message on the screen, he stopped.
[Huang Minglei: Brother, it seems you are on the hot search again! 】
[Mo Shanshan: Lin Yimu, you are on the hot search again! Although it is the last hot search, it doesn’t seem to be a bad thing this time. [Link]】
Lin Yimu clicked on the link sent by Mo Shanshan and was directly redirected to the Weibo page, which showed the official Weibo of the Mathematical Association. The most popular post was the latest one published in the afternoon.
Lin Yimu clicked on the full text of the latest Weibo post and found that it was the ranking list of this semi-final. It was accompanied by words of encouragement and tagged the official Weibo accounts of the schools where all the students on the list were.
Lin Yimu looked at this Weibo post and didn’t find anything wrong with it. Isn’t this just a routine Weibo post? Is there anything worth trending on?
After reading the entire post on Weibo, Lin Yimu scrolled down to read the comments from netizens and roughly understood why it became a hot topic.
[Look who I saw on the list, Lin Yimu! I didn't expect that he actually participated in the math competition, and he even got first place in the rematch, with full marks! 】
[I saw it too. Lin Yimu is so cool! I managed to get first place with full marks in the competition, so it’s a sure thing for me to join the provincial team. 】
[This Lin Yimu is really tough. He wouldn't really participate in the competition just because of what those black fans said, right? 】
[I am a high school student, a classmate of Lin Yimu. Although I am not sure whether he participated in the competition because of the words of anti-fans, I can tell you responsibly that Master Lin is really awesome! Among so many top students in our class, only Huang Minglei, who is tied with him for first place, can compete with him. 】
[Is this true or false?] Although it is indeed impressive to get full marks in the rematch, isn’t Class 1 of No. 1 High School a top class? How can all the good students in the same class be inferior to someone who has only studied for more than two months? 】
[Upstairs, I can tell you clearly that you should never use normal people's learning speed and status to measure monsters. Do you know what books they are reading now? I'm already reading university's professional textbooks, especially those in mathematics, physics and chemistry, which are simply beyond the understanding of a normal academic master's thinking. 】
…
Next, netizens and accounts that obviously looked like classmates discussed Lin Yimu’s past deeds in the comments. Of course, more of them were classmates crying about the past when they were defeated by Lin Yimu.
Also, because these students spoke so sincerely, although everyone didn't quite believe it was true, it couldn't dampen their enthusiasm for discussion, and gradually this Weibo post was pushed to the bottom of the hot searches.
After Lin Yimu understood the cause and effect of the incident, he exited Weibo and returned to WeChat to reply to Huang Minglei and Mo Shanshan one by one to express his gratitude.
While replying to Mo Shanshan's message, the other party sent a link to Lin Yimu without saying a word, and then sent another text message a long time later.
[Take a look at this Weibo first. Although it seems that few people know about it, there are still people discussing it below. Don't get angry when you see it. 】
Lin Yimu's hand, which was about to click, suddenly stopped when he saw this message, and he sent a message to ask the reason.
What news can make me angry? 】
[Just watch it for yourself and you’ll know.] 】
After sending this message, Mo Shanshan never replied again.
Lin Yimu clicked on the second link out of curiosity. This time, the page he was redirected to was a white account with no certification and only about 10,000 to 20,000 fans.
As for the Weibo post that Mo Shanshan mentioned, which made him angry, Lin Yimu saw it the moment he clicked on her homepage.
The moment he saw it, Lin Yimu understood why Mo Shanshan told him not to be angry after reading it, because the first Weibo post this account saw was a nine-grid photo. The photos showed him sleeping, just waking up, and brushing his teeth and washing his face.
The moment he saw these photos, Lin Yimu's mind went blank. He didn't know how the other party got so many photos, even the photos of him just waking up.
Lin Yimu stared at the phone in his hand for a long time. After his mind became clear and calm, he noticed the strangeness of these photos.
Although the clothes he wore in the photo were of the same brand and style that he often wore, some of the patterns and details on them made Lin Yimu notice differences.
Although the clothes on the other person were very similar to his daily style, the patterns and buttons on the collar were different. Especially when he flipped down and saw other photos, Lin Yimu became even more confused.
Because he didn't have some of the clothes in the photos, and although the other person's school uniform was very similar to that of their No. 1 Middle School, there were still differences when you zoomed in carefully. The other person's blue and white uniform was more slim-fitting than their school's uniform that looked like a big sack, and the details were more exquisite.
Even the environment behind him, even though it was blurred, didn't seem to look like his home if you looked closely. Lin Yimu even saw a lot of school photos. Lin Yimu carefully observed the photos and it seemed that this one was indeed taken in their school.
The more Lin Yi Mu looked at the photo, the more confused he became. From the various subtle details in the photo, he could tell that the person in the photo was definitely not him, but the face in the photo looked exactly like him, which made Lin Yi Mu feel strange no matter how he thought about it.
Lin Yimu stared at the face of the person in the photo for a long time, causing 001, who originally didn't want to pay attention to him, to look at the phone in his hand. When he saw the photo in his hand, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "You are too narcissistic. You are actually looking at your own photos on your phone."
When Lin Yimu heard 001's voice, he narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Do you also think that the person in the photo is me?"
"Who else could it be if not you? Look at your face and then look at the photo, isn't it you?" 001 said somewhat confused after hearing Lin Yimu's words.
Lin Yimu did not argue with 001, but directly told him about his recent discovery and the matter of the illegal Weibo account. He then showed the photos to 001 and pointed out the differences one by one.
001 was originally complaining about Lin Yimu being narcissistic when looking at his photos, but after hearing what happened, 001 was completely confused. Since this person was not Lin Yimu, why did he imitate him in everything? Not only his face, but also his clothing style and the places he went.
That would be fine, but the other party actually posted these photos on Weibo using a secondary account. I don’t know what his intention was.
"Host, stop imagining things. Since we don't know what the other party wants to do, why not ask Mr. Zhang for help? It's better than imagining things on our own." 001 suggested as he looked at Lin Yimu, who was frowning and flipping through Weibo.
Lin Yimu looked at the photos and nodded thoughtfully, not knowing what he was thinking, but he did not object to the opinion raised by 001.
After browsing the other party's Weibo for a while, Lin Yimu exited the page and called Zhang Hechang. He told him the matter directly and then said, "From the other party's photos, he looks exactly like me, but the factor of photo editing cannot be ruled out. I am not sure whether he has had plastic surgery. In addition, there are people in his Weibo comments who are deliberately leading the public opinion. One or two out of ten sentences will always bring me to it. Please pay attention to what they are trying to do. If it is not a big deal, don't worry about it."
Zhang Hechang listened to Lin Yimu seriously and agreed, but his thoughts were much more complicated than Lin Yimu's. Although he didn't know who Lin Yimu was, the fact that his superiors directly ordered him to come over for protection showed his importance.
Now suddenly there appears a person who deliberately imitates Lin Yimu's dress, speech and behavior. It's so strange no matter how you think about it.
Zhang Hechang couldn't help but doubt the other party's intentions. Was there any conspiracy against Lin Yimu, or did the other party have other intentions? These were all things that Zhang Hechang had to consider carefully.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yimu thanked Mo Shanshan again and put the matter aside. Since it was handed over to Zhang Hechang to handle, he probably wouldn't have anything to do with it later.
However, Lin Yimu didn't care. But 001 was secretly paying attention to the direction of this matter. After all, since cooperating with the country, it has been difficult to eat the host's melon, especially today, the melon looks the same as the host.
