Chapter 39 Lies I wish you a happy today every year.
"Get out of here! Get out of here! If you come any closer, I'm going to call the police!"
Li Jun blocked his face with one hand and waved his other hand vigorously to try to knock away the camera that was facing him, but with so many people around him, it was completely useless.
Some curious people even started a live broadcast and gave a passionate introduction on the spot. With their eloquence, those who didn't know them would think it was a war correspondent sending in a report from the front.
"You still dare to call the police? You dare to say that you didn't steal Bian Shen's college entrance examination results? Go ahead and report it, I'll watch you call the police!"
"That's right, you look like a human being, but you're riding a motorcycle. You can't tell if you're a human or a monkey. Do you think you can pretend to be a scholar just because you wear glasses?!"
"Family, did you see clearly? It was this guy named Li Jun who stole Bian Shen's college entrance examination results. Look at his guilty look, I must have found the right person! It's worth my while to drive all the way from the city during Chinese New Year. I asked the neighbors for you. This guy had terrible grades in high school and couldn't even get a fraction of 150 in math. Yet, he went on to study mathematics. This is hell, family!"
"Family, please give me some love! Tomorrow I'll take you to the high school Bian Shen attended to dig up more information. I've checked online, and according to reports, Bian Shen was once the top scholar in Yunshui County. The town must still have the congratulatory notice from that time!"
…
Reporters still follow industry rules when doing interviews, but self-media bloggers are much more generous and dare to ask any questions. There was even a big brother who was very public-spirited and pushed Li Jun's hand away so that everyone could take pictures of him in the face.
Li Jun was so anxious that his face flushed red as he retorted, "I didn't steal anyone else's college entrance examination results! I don't even know who the Bian God is! I got my results by myself!"
"Really? I brought my son's high school math practice test. If you can answer it, we'll trust you!"
"Yes, you are a top student majoring in mathematics. You can't even do high school math, right?"
…
For Li Jun, junior high school math, let alone high school math, is a mystery. Why can he only teach at Hope Primary School? It's because his math skills are only at the elementary school level.
"I won't do it! Why are you blocking me here and not letting me go home? I'm going to sue you!"
The first wave of people who came were attracted by the smell of traffic dividends. How could they be scared off by these threats? Not only did they not back off, they even filmed more enthusiastically.
Li Jun was so angry that he fell to the ground. Now no one could take a picture of his face, but he couldn't pick up his face either.
In the end, it was Li Minggang and his wife who heard the noise, came out with a kitchen knife and "rescued" their son back home. But because of this, the live broadcast room became even more popular. People put their mobile phone cameras at the door of Li's house, but they didn't disturb anyone or break in. The main purpose was to monitor the movements of scumbags in real time.
Anyway, whenever the Li family goes out, they will be photographed.
The Li family wanted to call the police, but they were guilty as they knew best whether the grades had been changed or not.
Li Minggang is the most shameless person. He usually regards himself as a state official. He also says that his son is a teacher with a stable job and must marry a college student.
It's a good thing no girl is willing to marry him, otherwise even the college entrance examination results are fake, wouldn't that be a marriage fraud?!
It happened to be the Chinese New Year period and everyone was idle at home, so of course everyone was eager to hear such explosive news. However, the more they dug, the more disheartening it became.
[Again, when you find a twintail in your home, your home has been invaded by twintails.]
[So, Bian Shen was once an illegal immigrant? He's actually an orphan?]
What's wrong with being an orphan?! Bian Shen's awesomeness needs no embellishment. He's truly put in a lot of effort to make it out of the mountains and into our presence! He's truly wonderful. If it were me, I'd probably just turn evil. He's even selling the cancer-eliminating pills so cheaply. His resilient spirit is truly shining right now!
[This kind of small place is indeed a bit difficult to handle. The county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Does anyone have any connections there? I'd like to know the latest progress.]
[And Bian Shen only released it now because he must have run out of options and asked for our help! This time, we must kill Li Jun! There's definitely more to this family than meets the eye! Sisters, dig deep!]
…
Netizens worked together to create a collective response. Li Jun, looking at the shocking comments online, was so frightened that he didn't dare to go out. He simply couldn't believe that Ah Jun, who had once allowed him to squeeze and flatten her, had become the unattainable Bian Shen?!
How is this possible? !
"Dad, this can't be true, right? I'm having a nightmare, right?" Li Jun bit his fingernails and shouted nervously, "I clearly robbed him of his chance to go to college, how could he still go to college! And to Ning University in Beijing! How could he do that?! What do you think he did?"
Today is New Year's Eve. He should have been happily drinking and eating meat, and then going out to play mahjong with others until dawn. But the reality is that he is like a rat in a gutter, spying on the screen of his mobile phone, watching Ah Jun standing at an international academic conference and being admired by countless people.
This is actually that Ajun!!
This is ridiculous, how is this possible!
Ah Jun was a wild child no one wanted. He couldn't even afford to eat. He even had to beg for charity for his broken glasses. Ah Jun, who reeked of poverty, was actually the genius who invented anti-cancer drugs?!
This is ridiculous. Even if he was reading a cool urban novel about a powerful leader, he wouldn't read such an outrageous plot.
"Xiaojun, why don't you go hide somewhere else? I'm afraid they'll call the police and arrest you."
"Why did they arrest me? They have no evidence. If they had evidence, they would have come to arrest me long ago!" Although Li Jun was extremely scared, he still spoke tough.
Li Minggang lowered his head, his whole body full of vicissitudes of life: "Xiaojun, your mother and I have lost our jobs, you'd better not stay at home."
"How could that be? Dad, don't you have two years left before you can retire and get a pension?"
"It's all gone, it's all gone. Who made you such a loser? If I had known you wouldn't even be able to finish college, I wouldn't have bothered to send you to jail! Now look what you've done, you've lost everything. If you don't leave now, you'll end up in jail!"
From this we can see that Li Minggang, who is in the system, has some understanding of the law.
Li Jun didn't think so. Although he was afraid, he still wanted to make a lot of money by live streaming. After all, it had been so many years since the incident. Even if the truth was found out, wouldn't it just take back his bachelor's degree? So what? After all, black and red are still red: "I'm not leaving! I still need to make money to buy you a big house!"
"Don't talk about Xiaojun like that. Look how filial he is. He's already heartbroken that he can't get a college degree, and you still dare to bring this up! Where's that Ah Jun? I'll go beg him on my knees. If that doesn't work, I'll give him my life as compensation. That's enough, right? I don't believe he can just watch an old woman like me die!"
"Grandma, you still love me the most!"
Up to now, Li Jun still hasn't realized the seriousness of the matter. A person's vision determines his cognition. In this small county where the average person is ignorant of the law, most people believe that only murder and arson will lead to imprisonment. He just stole Ajun's college entrance examination results. In detail, it did not affect Ajun's future.
If he were to say, Ajun should thank him. If it weren't for him, how could Ning Da come up behind this guy?
Thinking of this, Li Jun suddenly had a brilliant idea. Ajun found a bunch of cyber bullies to bully him, and he could fight back. Anyway, he didn't gain any benefit from it, so he could just go live and sell his misery to gain sympathy.
Thinking of this, Li Jun opened the live broadcast software he often used, but found that his account had been blocked. In fact, it was not just his live broadcast account. His Weibo, Douyin, Kuaishou, and Hongshu accounts were all blocked. Even if he wanted to live broadcast, he couldn't.
"Fuck, this bitch! She actually banned me on every platform!"
Li Jun was so angry that he wanted to smash his phone, but this phone was the latest Apple model he bought to show off for the New Year, so he couldn't bear to smash it. After thinking for a long time, he smashed the charger on the bedside.
But it’s not difficult to gain sympathy online. Li Jun changed himself into some more ragged clothes and then opened the door of his home.
"Hey, family members, look, Li Jun is out!"
Li Jun was prepared this time. He even washed his face and put on some hairspray before going out. He thought he was quite handsome. When his reputation got better, he would surely make those female netizens crazy.
"Hello everyone, I'm Li Jun. Come one by one. I won't run away this time."
Changing tactics?! Something's wrong, is there something else going on?
"Li Jun, can you respond directly to the issue of stealing other people's college entrance examination scores?"
Li Jun tried hard to look aggrieved. "Actually, this has been buried in my heart for a long time. In fact, at the beginning, I was unaware of it. My father wanted me to be successful and go to university as a top student, so he secretly got me a place. I thought it was legitimate, so I went to university happily."
This question left the person asking the question baffled. Why did this guy drink a large pot of green tea before coming out? The taste is too strong. Isn't black tea the most famous in Yunnan Province?
"After I found out the truth, my grades plummeted. I found I couldn't concentrate on my studies anymore. After struggling for two years at university, I decided to drop out and go home. But I was afraid of seeing Ah Jun, so I wandered around for over a year before I dared to come back secretly."
……ah? !
"After I came back, I tried hard to find Ah Jun, but I couldn't find him. I wanted to apologize to him and ask for his forgiveness. Many people know about this. If you don't believe me, go and ask around!"
…
"Later, I wanted to do good deeds for Ajun, so I went to teach math at Hope Primary School. I hope to use the little knowledge I learned in college to help those children who are eager to learn. To keep myself going, I even started a live broadcast to encourage myself. Although my account has been blocked, there must be viewers who have watched my live broadcast. I am really trying hard to atone for my sins."
"Here, I also want to formally and seriously say sorry to Ah Jun."
"Ajun, are you okay now? Actually, I'm not doing well at all. If I had known that this was your chance to go to college, I definitely wouldn't have reported."
"I also hope you can forgive my father. He just really wants a college student in the family."
…
After Li Jun's excellent performance, he quickly slipped back home. He thought his rhetoric was excellent and it would be impolite if Ah Jun didn't forgive him.
But in fact, after experiencing all kinds of online gossip, the majority of netizens have become much more rational. Besides, we all live on the same planet. Since you said so, they will go and verify it.
They promised not to listen to the gods blindly.
And the god Bian used to be called Ah Jun, how come he suddenly seems a little cute?
[My family burst into laughter. I really couldn't hold it in. All the Spring Festival Gala skits put together couldn't have been as good as Li Jun's performance alone. He should have been on the Spring Festival Gala. What a shame! Not being able to see him on the big stage is my only regret tonight.]
[Do you know Li Jun upstairs?]
[That's a perfect match. This guy and I were classmates in college. Do you know that feeling of powerlessness when you can't even put your fist through the screen? His grades have plummeted. Damn, this guy is actually a habitual thief. This bastard sat next to me during the exam, copied my paper and couldn't understand it, and then he even reported me for cheating afterward! Tell me, am I wronged? I'm so wronged!]
[Actually, there's more to it than that. If you dig up some of the past on our school forum, you'll see. This guy is a complete jerk. His roommates used to post complaints every day for a while. They couldn't stand his neuroticism. If he hadn't been completely devastated, he wouldn't have dropped out!]
[Heh, I'm one of those miserable roommates. The psychological trauma I've suffered in those two years will take me a lifetime to heal. God knew I could actually share a dorm with Bian Shen. Li Gou really misled me!]
So a group of people flocked to the forum of the Normal University and made a huge exposé. The marketing accounts said that it was impossible to intercept all the information, and it even included Li Jun’s college homework, which was... really ridiculous.
Is this Li Jun an elementary school student?!
Even high school classmates of the two came out to testify that Li Jun had extremely poor academic performance since childhood, and there was no so-called sudden drop in grades. This person did not tell a single truth.
[Also, I used to share an apartment with him, and I honestly never want to share an apartment with anyone again! This guy's lifestyle is horrible. Every night he'd drink, sing, and play games. He even borrowed money online to give gifts to female streamers. It's not that he's afraid to go back home; it's clearly that he's enjoying himself so much! Just a quick note, I think he still hasn't paid off his online loans yet!]
[As for his dad getting him a spot, just call it bullshit. We all went to college through the Gaokao, so how could we not know how to fill out the application form? Could it be that you accidentally used Bian Shen's admission ticket number, accidentally entered the correct password, then accidentally entered your desired school, accidentally received the admission letter with your name on it, and then went to school happily, leaving Bian Shen with no school to go to?]
[He and his dad are a pair of scoundrels. They used to bully Ah Jun in high school! He definitely wasn't looking for forgiveness when he came back to Ah Jun! It turns out Ah Jun is the Bian Shen. That's great. I'm really happy for Ah Jun. He deserves it!]
[Guys, guess what I found? This guy named Li Jun has paid off his online loan! Guess how he paid it back? He actually embezzled donations from a Hope Primary School! He deserves to be struck by lightning!]
[What? Then the textbook money I gave to the kids before, didn't he also embezzle it?]
[…Are you crazy, the person above? Please donate through legitimate channels. If you give him a tip, the platform will charge a commission. Don't allow this next time.]
Just as the majority of netizens were acting as online police, someone suddenly discovered:
[Family, Bian Shen is on the Spring Festival Gala! Oh no, CCTV dedicated a special program to Bian Shen about cancer recovery. Damn, it's so heartbreaking! It's because of Bian Shen that there are so many happy families! Wow, I can't believe if Li Jun hadn't taken away Bian Shen's achievements, would Bian Shen have invented the cancer-eliminating medicine long ago?]
[Damn, the above person's words really hit home. This Li Jun has appeared in the place where he deserves to die! He wasted two whole years of Bian Shen's youth! I can't imagine how the families of those who died of cancer would feel when they see this.]
…
The news spread quickly online, and just as the New Year’s bell rang, Tianhuo posted another Weibo: @李军不易李菌, I wish you a happy today every year. I have called the police.
