Finding Chen Zhuo

"That's all the shopping done!"

Lin Yu walked out of Jiangcheng's small commodity street, his backpack heavy, a look of harvest joy on his face.

This was the first step in completing his plan.

Next...

It was time for the second step!

Lin Yu opened his phone and found the club president Shen Bingmiao's QQ number.

"President, can you do me a favor?"

Shen Bingmiao quickly replied with a "?".

Her QQ nickname was "Nine Waters".

[Nine Waters: You're not coming to club activities but you want to order me around?] [Nine Waters: Your sister said last night you went to the club dinner, using us as a shield, right?] [Nine Waters: Did you go to see your little girlfriend? Speak up!] [Nine Waters: Fine, Lin Yu, you're really something else, starting to privately contact fans and date, huh?] [Nine Waters: The drama club isn't your springboard for monthly hookups!]

Shen Bingmiao's barrage of messages popped up, interspersed with all sorts of aggressive panda-head emojis.

Lin Yu ignored Shen Bingmiao's crazy messages and numerous emojis, continuing to type out his request.

[Er Mu: Help me look someone up.] [Er Mu: Chen Zhuo, male, high school student, judging by his accent, probably from Jiangcheng. Likes anime, a typical otaku.] [Er Mu: Can you dox him for me?]

After Lin Yu finished typing, Shen Bingmiao's message bombardment stopped.

Soon, Shen Bingmiao directly initiated a voice call.

"Did this high schooler offend you?"

Shen Bingmiao asked directly.

"Yeah, he screwed me over in a game, then doxxed me. I want to retaliate—but my skills aren't good enough, I only found out his real name is Chen Zhuo."

Across the screen, Lin Yu's lying became more skillful.

"Got it. I hate these guys who screw you over in games and then dox you... Watch me teach him a lesson!"

Shen Bingmiao hung up.

Lin Yu waited with his backpack for a few minutes, and soon received a message from Shen Bingmiao.

It was a file package.

Upon opening it, Chen Zhuo's entire household information was inside—from his ID number to his home address to various social media accounts.

This guy's QQ nickname was "It's so great I fell in love with Ai"... Seeing this, Lin Yu felt he didn't even need to see the photo to confirm it was him.

Shen Bingmiao sent another message.

[Nine Waters: Is this Chen Zhuo?] [Er Mu: Yes, thanks.] [Nine Waters: How are you going to deal with him? Need me to hack his account for you?] [Er Mu: No need, I see he's from Jiangcheng, planning to 'physically meet' him.]

After replying to the president, Lin Yu let out a sigh.

Chen Zhuo was indeed from Jiangcheng—he had suspected it from his accent before.

And although the T-shirt Chen Zhuo was wearing at the time had an anime girl printed on it, he was wearing sweatpants on the bottom...

They looked a lot like the uniform pants from Jiangcheng Middle School.

While these pants were pretty much the same all over the country, there were still some regional differences.

Lin Yu recalled, and felt those pants Chen Zhuo was wearing looked too much like those from Jiangcheng High School!

"Since he's from Jiangcheng, it saves a lot of trouble."

Of course, assuming Chen Zhuo wasn't from Jiangcheng wouldn't significantly affect Lin Yu's subsequent plan...

At worst, he would just interact with Chen Zhuo online.

But if he could meet Chen Zhuo in person, that would be even better!

"Jiangcheng No. 6 High School... I didn't expect this little fatty to have decent grades."

Looking at Chen Zhuo's school, Lin Yu muttered.

This high school was considered top-tier in Jiangcheng. While not the absolute best, its undergraduate admission rate was quite impressive every year.

Every few years, every now and then, a student would get into one of the two top universities in the country.

Sometimes, if you're lucky, a year can even produce two!

Lin Yu slung his backpack over his shoulder and got on his bicycle, heading straight for Jiangcheng No. 6 High School.

Jiangcheng No. 6 High School wasn't close to Lin Yu's home, but he was setting off from the small commodities street, which was located roughly in the center of Jiangcheng.

From this location, it wouldn't be too far to anywhere in Jiangcheng.

Lin Yu rode for about twenty minutes before arriving at the entrance of Jiangcheng No. 6 High School.

After parking his bicycle in the designated area at the school entrance, Lin Yu walked towards the security office with his bag on his back, a smile on his face.

"Hello, Uncle. I'm a university student from Jiangcheng Media. My cousin studies in Class 5 of the second year here. He left his workbook at home and is afraid of getting caught. I'm bringing it to him."

As Lin Yu spoke, he took out his student ID from his backpack.

The security guard in the office took one look at Lin Yu's ID and face.

This sunny, cheerful university student, who seemed to have no ill intentions, naturally didn't arouse any suspicion in the guard.

Moreover, it was a Friday afternoon, broad daylight, and the guard was feeling a bit lazy.

"Go on, go on! No need to register!"

The guard picked up the remote control and opened the school gate a small crack.

He waved his hand, signaling Lin Yu to hurry inside.

Lin Yu nodded with a smile and squeezed through.

"Thank you, Uncle!"

After that, Lin Yu ran across the sports field with his bag on his back, heading straight for the teaching building.

It was currently class time, and besides a few classes having P.E., there were no other students on the sports field.

Lin Yu wandered around the teaching building for a couple of circles and quickly figured out the pattern of class arrangements in the No. 6 High School teaching building.

"The first and second floors are the ten classes of the third year... The third and fourth floors are the second year..."

"So the end of the third floor should be... Got it, Class 5 of the second year!"

Lin Yu found the classroom for Class 5 of the second year very smoothly.

However, as he peered inside through the window, Lin Yu was dumbfounded.

The classroom was empty, not a single person inside!

"Huh?"

Lin Yu quickly pushed the door open and walked to the front of the classroom.

Then, he saw the content of the current class on the schedule—Physical Education.

Lin Yu felt a little helpless.

"So they really are in the sports field for P.E., those few classes!"

He wished he hadn't bothered coming all this way.

Lin Yu turned back with a sigh and walked out of the teaching building.

Soon, he was back on the sports field, starting to look for Chen Zhuo.

After searching fruitlessly, Lin Yu, not one to be inflexible, simply grabbed two students who looked approachable and asked.

"Excuse me, students, could you tell me where Class 5 of the second year is having their class?"

The two high school girls, wearing the loose blue and white school uniforms, had neat, thick bangs and wore somewhat plain, unfashionable black-rimmed glasses.

Being stopped by the "face" of the drama club, Lin Yu, they couldn't help but feel their hearts race a little.

"We're in Class 5 of the second year," the slightly taller girl on the right said softly, "Is there something you need?"

"You're in Class 5 of the second year? That's great," Lin Yu said with a smile. "I'm Chen Zhuo's brother, I'm here to bring Chen Zhuo something!"

As Lin Yu spoke, the two girls blinked.

"Chen Zhuo's brother?"

Their faces were filled with suspicion.

Seeing their expressions, Lin Yu smiled helplessly again.

"Okay, cousin."
