"We've finished the shopping!"
Lin Yu walked out of Jiang City's small commodities street with his heavy backpack on his back, his face glowing with the joy of a bountiful harvest.
This was the first step in carrying out his plan.
Next...
It was time for the second step!
Lin Yu pulled out his phone and found the Penguin account of Drama club president Shen Bingmiao.
"President, can you do me a favor?"
Shen Bingmiao quickly replied with a "?".
Her Penguin nickname was "Nine Waters."
[Nine Waters: You don't even come to the club, yet you still want to order me around?]
[Nine Waters: Your sister even said last night that you went to the Club Dinner. You're using us as a shield, aren't you?]
[Nine Waters: Did you go meet your little girlfriend? Speak!]
[Nine Waters: Fine, Lin Yu, you really think you're some big shot now, huh? You've gone straight to privately dating your fans?]
[Nine Waters: The Drama club isn't a stepping stone for your monthly girlfriends!]
Shen Bingmiao's messages came flying in one after another, mixed with all kinds of extremely aggressive panda-head stickers.
Lin Yu ignored Shen Bingmiao's outburst and all her stickers, continuing to type out what he needed.
[Er Mu: Help me look someone up.]
[Er Mu: Chen Zhuo, male, high school student. Judging by his accent, he might be from Jiang City. He likes watching anime and is a standard Otaku.]
[Er Mu: Can you dox him for me?]
After Lin Yu finished typing, Shen Bingmiao's barrage of messages stopped.
Soon, Shen Bingmiao directly initiated a voice call.
"Did this high school student offend you?"
Shen Bingmiao asked bluntly.
"Yeah. He screwed me over in a game, then doxed me. I want to hit back—but I'm not skilled enough. All I found out was that his True Name is Chen Zhuo."
Behind the screen, Lin Yu's lies were becoming more and more polished.
"Got it. I hate people like this most—screwing someone over in a game and then doxing them... Watch me punish him!"
Shen Bingmiao hung up.
Lin Yu waited in place with his backpack on for a few minutes, and soon received a message from Shen Bingmiao.
It was a file package.
Once he opened it, Chen Zhuo's complete personal information was inside—from his ID Number and home address to all kinds of social media accounts.
The guy's Penguin nickname was "It's Really Great to Have Fallen for Ai Haibara"... When Lin Yu saw this, he felt that he could confirm it was Chen Zhuo himself without even looking at a photo.
Shen Bingmiao sent another message.
[Nine Waters: Is this the right Chen Zhuo?]
[Er Mu: Yes. Thanks.]
[Nine Waters: How are you going to deal with him? Want me to hack his accounts for you?]
[Er Mu: No need. I think he's from Jiang City, so I'm planning to deal with him in person.]
After replying to the club president, Lin Yu let out a breath.
Chen Zhuo really was from Jiang City—Lin Yu had already thought so from his accent when he heard him speak.
Besides, although the T-shirt Chen Zhuo had been wearing that day was printed with an anime girl, he had been wearing track pants on his lower half...
They looked a lot like the school uniform pants worn by Jiang City middle schools.
Although school uniform pants were more or less the same throughout the country, there were still some regional differences.
Lin Yu recalled the image and felt that what Chen Zhuo had been wearing looked especially similar to Jiang City high school uniforms!
"Since he's from Jiang City, that saves me a lot of trouble."
Even if Chen Zhuo wasn't from Jiang City, it wouldn't have much effect on Lin Yu's next plan...
At worst, he could communicate with Chen Zhuo online.
But if he could meet Chen Zhuo in person, that would be even better!
"Jiang City No. 6 High School... I didn't expect this Little fatty to have such good grades."
Looking at Chen Zhuo's school, Lin Yu muttered to himself.
The school was considered first-tier in Jiang City. Although it wasn't the best, its annual college-admission rate was still quite impressive.
Every few graduating classes, one student or another would occasionally make it into one of the country's two top universities.
In good years, two students might even get in from the same class!
Lin Yu slung his backpack over his shoulders, hopped onto his bicycle, and headed straight for Jiang City No. 6 High School.
Jiang City No. 6 High School wasn't close to Lin Yu's home, but Lin Yu had set out from the small commodities street, which was located roughly in the center of Jiang City.
From there, nowhere in Jiang City was particularly far away.
After riding for a little over twenty minutes, Lin Yu arrived at the entrance of Jiang City No. 6 High School.
After parking his bicycle in the parking area by the school gate, Lin Yu carried his backpack toward the gatehouse with a smile.
"Hello, sir. I'm a university student from Jiangcheng Media. My cousin is in Class Five of Senior Year Two here. He left his exercise book at home and is afraid of getting inspected, so I brought it to him."
As he spoke, Lin Yu pulled his student card from his backpack.
The security guard in the gatehouse took a quick look and saw Lin Yu's identification and face.
With his sunny, cheerful university-student appearance and seemingly harmless demeanor, Lin Yu naturally aroused no suspicion from the guard.
Besides, it was Friday afternoon, broad daylight, and the guard was feeling somewhat lazy.
"Go on, go on! You don't need to register!"
The guard picked up the remote and opened a small gap in the school gate.
He waved his hand, signaling Lin Yu to hurry inside.
Lin Yu smiled, nodded, and slipped through.
"Thank you, sir!"
Afterward, Lin Yu ran across the sports field with his backpack and headed straight for the teaching building.
It was class time, so apart from a few classes taking physical education, there weren't many students on the field.
Lin Yu wandered around the teaching building twice and quickly figured out the pattern of how the classes were arranged.
"The ten Senior Year Three classes are on the first and second floors... The Senior Year Two classes are on the third and fourth..."
"So Class Five of Senior Year Two should be at the end of the third floor... There it is, Class Five of Senior Year Two!"
Lin Yu found the classroom with ease.
But when he peered inside through the window, he was dumbfounded.
The classroom was completely empty. There wasn't a single person inside!
"Huh?"
Lin Yu hurriedly pushed open the door and walked up to the podium.
Then he saw what was listed for this period on the schedule—physical education.
Lin Yu felt somewhat helpless.
"So those really were the classes having PE on the field!"
If he'd known, he wouldn't have run all the way here.
Feeling helpless, Lin Yu turned around and headed back outside the teaching building.
Soon, he returned to the sports field and began searching for Chen Zhuo.
After finding nothing, Lin Yu wasn't the type to refuse to adapt. He simply grabbed two students who looked friendly and asked them.
"Excuse me, where is Class Five of Senior Year Two having class?"
The two high school girls wore loose blue-and-white uniforms, neat, thick bangs, and somewhat plain, old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses.
Being stopped by Lin Yu, the "face" of the Drama club, they couldn't help feeling their hearts speed up.
"We're from Class Five of Senior Year Two," the taller girl on the right said softly. "May I ask what you need?"
"You're from Class Five of Senior Year Two? That's great," Lin Yu said with a smile. "I'm Chen Zhuo's older brother. I came to bring him something!"
As Lin Yu spoke, the two girls blinked.
"Chen Zhuo's older brother?"
Their faces were filled with suspicion.
Seeing their expressions, Lin Yu helplessly smiled again.
"Fine, his cousin."
