The Final Verdict: Identity Revealed

The rumors about Susan had come quickly and gone just as quickly.

If they had not involved Iron Man and Superman,

the onlookers would not even have known who Susan was.

In just one morning, the main rumor-mongers had been arrested.

Two of the ringleaders, John and Flora, had been detained and denied bail regardless of how much money was offered.

The remaining rumor-mongers were under investigation, awaiting their specific punishments.

The speed of the arrests left countless curious citizens stunned.

The major rumor-spreading forums and news headlines were also being cleaned up.

Then a video appeared on the front pages of every major forum and was swiftly pinned and verified.

Only then was the matter truly settled, bringing this incident to an end.

At that moment, Susan was sitting on the sofa in Lin Feng's villa, staring blankly ahead.

Skye sat nearby, wearing headphones and fiddling with her laptop, occasionally reporting their progress to Susan.

Then Skye saw a pinned video and froze.

Skye took off her headphones and switched the audio to speakers.

"Susan! Look! Stark actually made a video to clear your name!"

"Oh my God, does your little man really have that much influence?"

Skye clicked her tongue in amazement as she looked at the video's title and comments.

The fact that Tony Stark had made a video to clarify things made Skye intensely curious about Lin Feng's identity.

She pushed the laptop in front of Susan and clicked play.

The two watched it together.

The image was crystal clear. Tony Stark sat in the middle of the screen.

He wore casual clothes, and his expression was somewhat serious.

He leaned forward.

"JARVIS! Has it started?"

"It has, sir."

"Excellent!" Tony clapped his hands, announcing the start of the video.

"Ahem. I don't need to introduce myself, do I?"

Tony spoke to the camera.

"I don't think there's anyone who doesn't know me!"

"I hadn't wanted to record this video."

"But to help a friend of mine, I decided to make it."

"Everyone has recently been following the rumors about Susan Carter."

"I think some people have lost their minds. Susan is my friend's woman! And you actually said she was clinging to me?"

"Are you trying to drive a wedge between us? Hm?" Tony demanded with a frown.

"Let's not even discuss how absurd this is, because I believe that by the time this video goes out,"

"those rumor-mongers will have been arrested!"

"People who know me know that I generally don't respond directly to rumors about me."

"Because I don't care whether they're true or false."

Tony Stark's presence was in full force, his tone filled with teasing humor.

"However, this incident is different."

"You want the truth, don't you?"

"Then I'll tell you the truth right now!"

"The vehicle that picked up Miss Susan Carter that day did indeed belong to Stark Industries."

"And Happy was the driver. I admit that."

"What I want to say is that one of our young shareholders was in his first relationship."

"He had no experience, so I arranged an evening outing for him."

"Is there a problem with that?"

"I really don't understand. Do you people usually have nothing to do?"

"How could something like this turn into such a huge rumor?"

"Susan's boyfriend is a shareholder of Stark Industries. He can use the company's cars as he pleases, whether it's to pick up his girlfriend or for anything else."

"That is the truth of the matter!"

"I warn certain people who don't know their limits: Susan Carter is the family member of a Stark Industries shareholder."

"Have evidence before you speak!"

"As for those shoddy doctored pictures of yours, along with your so-called textual evidence—"

"I just want to laugh when I see them. They're so low-level!"

Tony kept laying out the full sequence of events in the video.

The number of simultaneous viewers skyrocketed.

"As for the final question—"

"The rumor about Miss Susan Carter and Superman."

At that point, Tony Stark suddenly laughed.

"As for that... rumor, it may be a little different from what you imagined."

"I dare say you absolutely never expected the truth!"

As he spoke, Tony stood from his chair, picked up the camera, and aimed it to the side.

"Miss Susan Carter's boyfriend is not only a shareholder of Stark Industries."

"He is also someone all of you know very, very well."

"Hmm? How should I put this? Let him explain it himself!"

Tony aimed the camera at Lin Feng.

"Come on, Lin. Say hello!"

Lin Feng appeared on screen, dressed in a black suit and wearing a pair of thin-rimmed glasses.

He looked tall and refined.

Like a young CEO from a television drama.

Some people had already recognized him. He was the man from the rumors who had been mistaken for the driver.

However, it had now been clarified that Happy was the driver, while he was a shareholder of Stark Industries.

And also Susan Carter's boyfriend!

Lin Feng smiled at the camera and greeted everyone.

"Hello, everyone. I didn't expect to appear before you in this way!"

"Without further nonsense, I'll get straight to the question everyone cares about."

"As for why Susan was always able to get news about Superman—"

"I think I have quite a lot of authority to speak on that..."

Lin Feng got straight to the point in the video, revealing the truth behind the second rumor.

Inside his villa, Skye glanced at Susan and said enviously, "Your boyfriend is a shareholder of Stark Industries?"

"Damn, no wonder he could afford a villa..."

Skye admitted that she was a little jealous.

Susan gave an awkward smile. She had not told Susan some of the information about Lin Feng.

Although the two were very close, Susan still respected Lin Feng's personal privacy.

"Keep going. Let's keep watching the video..." Susan changed the subject.

On screen, Lin Feng continued.

"Susan and Superman actually knew each other long before Superman became famous."

"They met because of an accident."

"As for what kind of accident it was, it isn't convenient for me to say more here."

"I can only say that 99% of the recent claims about Susan are false."

"I hope all citizens will not blindly follow the crowd, and especially will not keep reposting those rumors."

"Otherwise, the authorities may come knocking at your door!"

Lin Feng wore a smile, but his words were full of mockery.

The implication could not have been clearer.

However, some people watching the video scoffed at it.

The reason was simple.

Although Lin Feng was a shareholder of Stark Industries,

he personally had no real credibility or fame.

This was what people meant by having little influence and little weight behind one's words.

People did not know who he was, so they were not very willing to believe what he said.

Lin Feng naturally knew this.

He had discussed it with Tony beforehand as well.

It was time to make a big move.

The video continued playing.

Lin Feng on screen fell silent for a moment.

"I believe many people don't know me, so they aren't willing to believe what I say."

"They may ask, how do you know Superman and Susan were already acquainted?"

"Some may even think I'm pitiful, that my girlfriend follows Superman around every day."

"Well, in that case, all I can say is—I am not jealous."

"Because everyone may be unfamiliar with my identity as a shareholder of Stark Industries."

"But most people watching this video have seen my other identity before."

As soon as he finished speaking, the citizens watching the video were completely baffled.

Could Susan's boyfriend have another identity besides being a Stark Industries shareholder?

Sitting in the villa, Susan vaguely began to suspect something.

She stared unblinkingly at the screen, but worry rose in her heart.

The next second, Lin Feng on screen removed his glasses and took off his ring.

In an instant, a sense of familiarity washed over everyone.

Countless citizens felt that face was extremely familiar, as though they had seen it somewhere before.

Yet they could not remember where.

The answer was quickly revealed.

After removing his glasses and ring, Lin Feng slowly floated into the air!

The next second, a black battle suit slowly covered Lin Feng's entire body.

The massive S-shaped emblem marked his identity!

The instant Superman's suit appeared.

Countless citizens stared at their screens in utter shock.

Screams, disbelief, sudden realization.

That day, cries of "Oh my God!" echoed throughout New York.

No one had expected it.

This handsome young man was actually the superhero who frequently appeared in the news.

Superman!

Even less expected was that Superman would voluntarily reveal his identity to address this matter.

A shareholder of Stark Industries, the boyfriend of Susan, the victim of the rumors.

Was actually Superman!
