Tongtong's words were like a divine revelation, and Liu Yifeng heartily agreed, nodding. "Tongtong is amazing, truly Papa's genius son."
Tongtong then typed a website address into the computer, pasted the leaked information there, and started a chat. The conversation grew, and soon the location behind the website was found.
Tongtong then sent a private message to the person who posted the information, saying he had more gossip about Yun Duo'er and wanted to show it to him, asking him to set a time and place.
Soon, the bait was taken.
"Papa, look quickly, you know this place, right? They said to meet here tomorrow afternoon at three." Tongtong anxiously called Liu Yifeng over, looking at the time and location on the screen.
He was astonished by his son's brilliant mind. "Tongtong, Papa thinks you could directly pursue a doctorate, you're too amazing."
"Oh, it's not that big a deal for me. I just have some tech-savvy friends in some online groups, and my words carry some weight there. They helped me out."
Tongtong's cheeks flushed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed by Liu Yifeng's sudden praise.
"Thank you so much, Papa's precious son. They always say I need to protect you, but I feel like you're protecting Papa and even helping me unconditionally." 138 Reading Network.
Liu Yifeng felt ashamed and tightly hugged his son, vowing to quell this public outcry and prevent it from disturbing their lives any further.
Finally, the day arrived for the meeting with the person who posted the information. Liu Yifeng disguised himself and arrived at the agreed-upon location earlier than expected.
However, he didn't go over but hid at a distance, wanting to observe the person first.
Soon, the appointed time of three o'clock arrived. A man wearing glasses, dressed very ordinarily, appeared at the location. He looked quite honest.
Liu Yifeng no longer observed and walked up to the man.
"Are you the one who's going to sell me information?" The other person seemed honest, but his voice carried a hint of nervousness. Liu Yifeng suspected this person was not simple; indeed, one couldn't judge a book by its cover.
Liu Yifeng didn't speak, only nodded. "That's right. I have more explosive news about Yun Duo'er. If your price is right, I might even share some other celebrity gossip."
He deliberately mentioned other people's news to see if the man was interested in anything or only focused on Yun Duo'er. This would clarify things significantly.
"No, I made it clear online. I only want news about Yun Duo'er. Are you not the person I was talking to?" The man's eyes flashed with shrewdness, and he immediately became defensive.
"It seems you're quite smart. Then you must also know that I didn't just come here to give you Yun Duo'er's information. I'm more curious about why you're doing this. Your attire doesn't suggest you're from any media company." Liu Yifeng disliked beating around the bush; it was simpler and more efficient to state his purpose directly.
"Hmph, I see you're from the media. I have to say, you're going to great lengths to get news about Yun Duo'er. You probably don't have any of her information yourself, and you want to get something more from me, don't you?" The man's guard relaxed considerably.
Liu Yifeng found this person rather perplexing, seeming a bit unstable.
"Since you've figured it out, there's no need for me to pretend. Yes, it's just as you think. We can negotiate the price." Liu Yifeng thought that if there was no progress, buying all the remaining dirt would be acceptable, at least his and Tongtong's past would remain secret.
However, as soon as Liu Yifeng finished speaking, the man's eyes turned furious. "No, absolutely not! Yun Duo'er's information can only be exposed by me, only by me! You won't get any information from me, and that man, I will destroy them all."
Liu Yifeng frowned, further convinced of the man's abnormality. Tongtong, listening through his Bluetooth earpiece, began typing on his keyboard, searching for information on the man, suspecting he might be a fan of Yun Duo'er. It was highly likely he was a rabid fan.
He probably felt that this fan was staking out the place that day. Unbeknownst to him, the fan's appearance made him think Yun Duo'er had a boyfriend, hence the online leak, aiming to incite public opinion and have him doxxed.
It wouldn't be a problem for him to be doxxed, but he feared that if the investigation went too deep, it might lead to Tongtong. Therefore, it was best to resolve this quickly.
Fortunately, he had recorded their conversation, which might add to its credibility.
"Found him, Papa! He's indeed a rabid fan. He doesn't just like one person; he likes many female artists, all of whom are single. He's the one who leaks any gossip information." Tongtong's words enlightened Liu Yifeng about the man. It seemed this person had crossed the line into criminal behavior, which was quite frightening. Truly, one couldn't judge a book by its cover; he looked honest, but his actions were terrifying.
"I've checked your IP. I suspect you're not just a fan of Yun Duo'er. Your actions are illegal. Female artists are human beings too; they deserve to live normal lives. Your behavior is deliberate and malicious." Liu Yifeng was somewhat angered. This was clearly an attempt to disrupt their private lives, bordering on obsession. It was likely that others were unaware of this man's existence.
"Who are you? You're not from the media, are you? You look like a fan of Yun Duo'er!" The man's demeanor shifted from relaxed to guarded, this rapid change indicating his mental instability.
He secretly messaged Tongtong, asking him to find the nearest psychiatric hospital. If this man was taken in for examination, his sanity could be confirmed.
Upon receiving the message, Tongtong enlisted Liu Chunsheng's help. Soon, hospital personnel apprehended the man.
"Ah! Let me go, let me go! I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy!" After being taken away, Liu Yifeng, acting as a fan of Yun Duo'er, leaked the recording. This finally cleared his name.
By successfully redirecting public attention to the "crazy" man, the heat surrounding the issue began to dissipate.
