"What law can a picture break?" Yan Sheng asked, frowning.
The suspect is accused of leaking classified personnel and information... Shen Heng glanced at the two of them.
The photo of Han Ling from last night was relatively good, because it didn't capture Han Ling's face clearly, and the appearance of the Calamity Beast wasn't clear either. So it would only be searched and targeted for deletion after being posted online.
If the Calamity Beast is clearly captured on camera, the Supervision Bureau's supercomputer will even directly search all internet-connected mobile phones in the country and delete them to prevent information leakage.
Although from the perspective of the Supervision Bureau, there was nothing wrong with it, it still felt a bit like an invasion of privacy... Shen Heng thought to himself.
"I don't know. Maybe the person in the photo is the daughter of some high-ranking official!" Kong Haochen shook his head, guessing wildly.
Yan Sheng accepted this reason, and angrily retorted, "Seriously, can't you have any privacy at all?!"
Shen Heng glanced at the two of them silently, then stopped at the bus stop.
"I've arrived at my bus stop, bye-bye!"
The bus to the Supervision Bureau is in front of the school, while the bus for Yan Sheng and Kong Haochen to go home is behind the school, requiring them to go through a small alley.
"Okay, Brother Heng, see you next week!" Yan Sheng waved his hand.
Kong Haochen glanced at Shen Heng but made no other move.
The two separated.
Shen Heng quietly breathed in the air while waiting for the bus.
A few minutes later, the bus to the Supervision Bureau arrived. Shen Heng casually found a seat, closed his eyes slightly, and began breathing exercises again.
The bus drove quietly along the road, one stop, two stops.
Suddenly, Shen Heng opened his eyes.
After separating from Shen Heng.
Yan Sheng and Kong Haochen were walking to the bus stop on their way home.
Yan Sheng glanced at Kong Haochen walking beside him and frowned.
"I said, can you please stop following me?"
"First of all, let me clarify again that this road wasn't built by your family; secondly, I wasn't following you, I just need to go to the back of the school to catch the bus; finally, if you're annoyed, you can walk slower or faster!" Kong Haochen said.
"You..."
Yan Sheng frowned, and just as he was about to slow down, a young man with a buzz cut carrying an ice cream cone who was walking towards them seemed to trip over something and leaned towards them.
Bang!
The young man with the buzz cut bumped into Yan Sheng, but fortunately he didn't fall.
Yan Sheng helped the crew-cut youth to his feet and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
The young man with the buzz cut spread his hands and looked at his clothes, only to see a large clump of ice cream stuck to his black T-shirt.
"He's alright, but what are we going to do about this?" The crew-cut youth pointed to his chest, glaring fiercely at the two men.
"You fell down on your own, what does it have to do with us? My school uniform got some on it too!" Yan Sheng frowned slightly, pointing to his own chest as well.
"Ha... How much did your school uniform cost? Do you know how much my clothes cost?"
How much does one of your T-shirts cost?
"This is a Hervan Stellar T-shirt, it costs over two thousand!" the buzz-cut young man shouted.
Yan Sheng frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping over the clothes on the short-haired youth.
His impoverished background prevented him from discerning the value of the garment, but the string of English words the seller had just quoted and the price of over two thousand yuan made him involuntarily back down.
"You fell down on your own; it has nothing to do with us!"
"It's all because you guys are here! If you weren't here, I would have fallen to the ground. If I fell, I would instinctively reach out to brace myself, and if I instinctively reached out to brace myself, the ice cream would have fallen somewhere else, and if the ice cream fell somewhere else, it wouldn't have gotten on my clothes!"
The crew-cut youth spoke angrily, his gaze fixed fiercely on the two men.
"So, tell me, if we don't make you pay, who will? Huh?"
Yan Sheng opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"You can just wash these clothes when you get home!" Kong Haochen said, frowning as he stood next to Yan Sheng.
"Wash it? How can you wash such expensive clothes? What if you damage them?" The short-haired youth turned and glared fiercely at Kong Haochen.
"Why can't I wash it? You're not only going to wear this clothes once, are you?!"
"Ha, do you think we rich people are like you poor bastards, wearing the same clothes all the time? Let me tell you, I really have only worn this outfit once! Now that you've gotten it dirty, what are you going to do?"
"Then... we'll compensate you some money?" Yan Sheng asked cautiously.
"Sure, I won't take advantage of you. We'll go with the original price, 2380. Hurry up!"
"It's so expensive, and we only made a mess, why should we pay the original price?" Yan Sheng looked at the crew-cut youth, seemingly trying to get a discount.
"I only wore it once, and now you've dirtied it. What do you want if you don't pay me back the original price?" the crew-cut youth yelled.
Kong Haochen frowned, realizing that this man was trying to extort money.
"We can only give you a hundred or two at most, that's impossible!"
"One or two hundred? Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?"
"Hmph, take it or leave it! If you don't want it, fine!"
After saying that, Kong Haochen was about to take Yan Sheng's arm and leave.
However, the young man with the buzz cut did not give them that chance, and instead stopped the two of them.
"Damn it, you want to leave without paying compensation?"
The young man with the buzz cut waved.
Soon, four or five people walked in from both sides of the alley and surrounded the two.
At this point, Yan Sheng realized that the excuse of paying for his clothes being dirty was clearly a robbery.
"I'm telling you, if you keep doing this, I'm calling the police!"
"Heh... Call the police? Go ahead, perfect, then the police will make you pay for my clothes!" the buzz-cut youth sneered.
Having said that, the crew-cut youth didn't give the two a chance to reply. He waved his hand, and several men quickly unleashed their fists and feet upon them.
"Ah! No, wait... wait a minute..."
Yan Sheng shouted, hoping to get the group to stop, but they showed no sign of stopping.
Seeing this, Yan Sheng cried out helplessly.
" Brother Heng, help!"
"Heh, what's the use of shouting louder? Shen Heng is long gone, he can't hear you anyway!" the crew-cut youth laughed.
After the crew-cut young man finished speaking, Yan Sheng didn't react, but Kong Haochen's eyes lit up.
"Wait, wait, I know, you're here to cause trouble for Shen Heng, aren't you?"
Upon hearing this, the previously bustling alley fell silent. The men who had been beating the man exchanged glances, then all looked towards the crew-cut youth who had just spoken.
The young man with the buzz cut twitched at the corner of his mouth, only then realizing that he had let something slip.
"Shen... Shen Heng? I don't know him!"
"Ha, I don't believe it. You must have been sent by Gu Zexuan to get revenge on Shen Heng for interrupting him at the rally!" Seeing their reaction, Kong Haochen became even more convinced.
Gu Zexuan?... The buzz-cut youth was slightly taken aback, then realized that he must have been the one who initially placed the order, but he didn't care about that.
"Don't think you can get away with not paying money just by blaming some random guy I don't know! Brothers, let's beat him up!"
The men threw punches and kicks at the two men again.
"No, wait, wait..."
Kong Haochen shouted, but Yan Sheng, who had been telling them to stop, stopped shouting after hearing that they were there to cause trouble for Shen Heng.
"Wait? Wait for what!" the crew-cut youth said impatiently, his hands still moving.
"Don't hit me! I'm not with Shen Heng!" Kong Haochen shouted.
The crew-cut youth remained silent, but his stomping became even more forceful.
That little brat, does he think they're blind? He clearly saw the three of them walking together just now, and he still tells him they're not together!
