Chapter 203: Chapter 203: We Cannot Let the Righteous Hero Be Disheartened

The patrol car arrived downstairs, and the community security guard quickly called his leader before leading the police to Huang Ying’s residence.

When the leading officer saw Han Fei was also present, his eyes flickered with surprise, but he soon showed a sense of realization.

Han Fei was no stranger to dealing with the police, and he promptly described the appearance and clothing of the man in black in full detail.

Han Fei’s strong memory allowed him to remember every detail, and the police quickly created a virtual model of the suspect based on his description.

There was no need for further explanation, as soon as Han Fei mentioned the word "Butterfly," the police immediately understood the gravity of the situation and were in for another sleepless night in Xinhu.

The police began to investigate the scene and interview the direct victim, Huang Ying, while Han Fei sat on the stairs, drowsy and on the verge of sleep.

He was really too exhausted and could even fall asleep sitting on the cold, hard tiles.

Just as he was about to drift off to sleep, his phone suddenly vibrated. He frowned and glanced at the caller ID—it was from the paparazzo he had once saved.

"Jin Jun? What’s up?"

"Brother Han, are you currently in a high-end community in the Xinhu Smart City District?"

"Yes, how did you know?" Han Fei was somewhat puzzled.

"You need to find a less crowded place to leave. Paparazzi caught you entering that community. I heard that Wuwu Entertainment has already gotten a photo of you entering the community," Jin Jun had come to give Han Fei a heads-up.

"I just entered a community, is it necessary to make a big deal out of it?" Han Fei recalled and realized that when he was coming from the Old City District, he indeed felt as if someone was secretly taking photos of him, but at the time he was more concerned about Huang Ying’s safety and did not pay attention to those things.

"Those people are just full and have nothing better to do. They’re best at making groundless accusations and creating controversies. They can make a big deal out of nothing."

"I’m here on legitimate business, the indisputable kind." Han Fei thought for a moment: "I remember Wuwu Entertainment also asked your apprentice to secretly photograph me?"

"Yes, but I’ve sternly warned him."

"Don’t worry, I’ll give you more detailed and realistic information. You can let your apprentice send this stuff to Wuwu Entertainment, as an explanation to them." Han Fei, who had been through the wringer in Deep World, actually did not care much about these false reputations, but it was nice to be able to outmaneuver Wuwu Entertainment.

After chatting for a few more words, Han Fei hung up the phone, and exhausted, he fell asleep on the stairs.

The early sun rose slowly, and once the investigation was over, Han Fei and Huang Ying were taken to the police station together.

The main subject of the investigation was Huang Ying, for Han Fei it was just a matter of switching to a more comfortable place to catch up on sleep.

The sunlight hit his face, and Han Fei vaguely heard someone next to him seemed to be discussing him. He slowly lifted his head that was resting on the desk, his eyes still reddened with blood vessels.

"What’s happened?" His voice was hoarse, and Han Fei looked very haggard. Physical exhaustion could be recovered from with some sleep, but the pain of being killed over and over again in spirit took much longer to heal.

"Brother Han, you should probably stay off the internet lately, take some time to rest properly."

"They are really too much! You were clearly there to save someone, and yet they slander you like that!"

The two young officers were indignant on Han Fei’s behalf.

"Now you’ve made me more curious." Han Fei took out his phone and as soon as he turned it on, he saw a dozen missed calls, from Director Jiang, Sister Long, and also from Director Zhang’s assistant: "Seems like Wuwu Entertainment has made quite the fuss."

Without returning those calls, Han Fei opened the social media platform and directly saw his name in the local trending searches—Hot web drama actor Han Fei’s secret behind the scenes! Suspected of secret midnight rendezvous with financial backer!

After clicking on the hot search, there were photos and various screenshots taken by paparazzi, including pictures of Han Fei sneakily entering the high-end community after three o’clock in the morning.

The analysis in the hot search was extremely "thorough," pinpointing the location of Huang Ying’s residential community, which was considered to be a high-end neighborhood even in the precious land of the Smart New City.

Based on Han Fei’s public profile, he should have no connection with the people in this community. With his previously meager income, even if he worked until his next life, he wouldn’t be able to afford a high-end residence in the Smart District.

In fact, there is no need to present more facts, a highly popular public figure sneaking into a high-end residential area at three or four in the morning is inherently a hot topic.

Normally speaking, no matter how Han Fei might argue, as long as it involved personal matters, it was a very difficult situation to resolve.

Good news seldom leaves the house, but bad news travels far and wide.

"Twin Flowers" is still hanging in first place on the new dramas leaderboard, many have been won over by Han Fei’s acting, and it’s very clear that the intention behind leaking the story of Han Fei’s "private meeting with a behind-the-scenes sponsor" at this time.

The search heat steadily rose, and the related topics kept multiplying.

Things like "moral character does not match the position," "Righteous Hero is just a persona", some even seriously claimed that Han Fei’s behind-the-scenes sponsor was a certain wealthy businesswoman.

All sorts of ghosts and monsters came out, Han Fei’s personal social media accounts were also attacked, some were leading the charge, some were calling for a boycott, it was a complete mess.

Explosive new actor, behind-the-scenes sponsor, private meetings in the early morning.

Driven by certain forces, the situation escalated rapidly, with many popular accounts pushing the story, and the rise on the hot search list was much faster than the speed at which the coverage of Han Fei’s "Righteous Hero" act had climbed.

"It’s quite terrifying when the heat picks up," Han Fei said, finding it terrifying, then he put his cell phone aside and prepared to continue sleeping.

He needed to adjust his state of mind because he had a game to play in the evening.

Han Fei didn’t take the matter to heart, but to those around him, having risked his life to save a victim, he appeared completely exhausted and haggard, yet even so, he still had to endure the slander and defamation.

Where was justice?

By ten in the morning, the Xinhu Police had successfully identified the suspect based on Han Fei’s description.

The man who was skilled in combat and possessed hacking abilities was named Hu Wu, once a star security guard for a high-level security company, but was later fired and blacklisted in the security industry due to certain incidents.

He inherently had antisocial tendencies, and the citizen information system had always rated him as a high risk until in recent years his rating had decreased, and people around him felt he had become more amiable.

The incident occurring around three in the morning was followed by the identification of the suspect by ten, and the capture began promptly.

The police were able to solve the case so quickly, not only relying on the omnipresent "Sky Eye" cameras of the Smart District, but also Han Fei’s detailed clues were key.

By one in the afternoon, the suspect who had planned to flee to the Old City District was arrested. He was very ruthless towards himself and, knowing that there was no escape, he chose to commit suicide.

The suspect, Hu Wu, was now sent to the emergency room, with the police hoping to extract more clues about "Butterfly" from him.

Within ten hours, the capture was completed; when the members of the Criminal Investigation Team returned to the station, they also heard about Han Fei’s situation.

Their leader, known for his volatile temper, felt that no matter what, they couldn’t let the spirit of a "Righteous Hero" be chilled. He publicly announced the successful capture on the official website and the official social media accounts, and then commended Han Fei for his bravery once again.

The logic of the police was very simple: everything must be based on evidence. With Han Fei’s consent, they released some footage from the body cameras taken in Huang Ying’s residential area.

All netizens saw Han Fei, his eyes bloodshot, earnestly and resolutely describing the suspect’s physical characteristics to the police, his expression serious and steadfast, full of hatred for evil.

In the last segment of the footage captured by the body camera, they saw Han Fei, both physically and mentally exhausted to the limit, falling asleep in the cold corridor.

Acting with high intensity during the day and performing even higher intensity heroics at night, even an iron man couldn’t withstand it.

In the face of the facts and evidence laid out by the police, all the rumors fell apart, and for as many people who had criticized Han Fei, now even more stood by his side.

The internet was in an uproar, but Han Fei, at the center of the storm, was still catching up on his sleep.

"The world of the living is, after all, somewhat noisy."
