Lu Ren felt this Event was a bit fishy, but he couldn’t find any evidence.
After all, he wasn’t the victim of this Event, nor was he Official Personnel tracking the Crime Case, let alone some damn liar.
He was just an ordinary University Student receiving an anti-fraud science popularization.
He couldn’t do anything.
So, at a time like this, he had to use the resources available to him as a Magic Girl.
Lu Ren silently recorded various key information about this Event in the memo on his Mobile Phone, planning to ask Sapphire and the others about the situation when he got back.
After talking for another ten minutes about the importance of anti-fraud and mental health, the Class Advisor pushed up his glasses and waved at them, signaling that they could leave.
Upon receiving the Class Advisor’s order, everyone immediately scurried out.
Lu Ren was no exception.
After walking all the way back to the Dormitory, Lu Ren picked up the Mobile Phone given to him by the Official and sent the various information he had learned today into the Chat Software, specifically asking Sapphire and Meteor to help him look into the situation.
After waiting for about two hours, Lu Ren received a message from Sapphire.
“Blazing Flame, I asked about the Crime Case you requested.”
“I’ve looked at the answer provided by the Official’s side, and there’s nothing wrong. This is indeed a coma Event caused by fraud, nothing special.”
“What happened? Why did you suddenly start paying attention to this kind of Crime Case? Is there anything strange?” Sapphire asked in confusion.
Looking at the response given by Sapphire, Lu Ren fell silent for a few seconds, his brows furrowed.
Did Sapphire and the Official both think there was no problem with this Crime Case?
But why did he always feel that something was a bit off?
“Sapphire, can you provide me with detailed information on this victim? From childhood to now. I feel like something isn’t right.”
“I can, but what are you going to do with it? Do you have a grudge against him?”
“No, I just find this Event a bit strange and plan to investigate it slightly.”
“…Fine, wait a moment.”
Facing Lu Ren’s request, Sapphire hesitated for a few seconds before finally agreeing.
After receiving Sapphire’s reply, Lu Ren’s heart relaxed considerably, and he waited patiently.
Finally, half an hour later, Sapphire sent over the relevant documents for the victim.
Seeing the file sent in the group, Lu Ren couldn’t wait to click download and open it, reviewing the relevant information of this victim.
“Li Mingluo, male, a junior at A City Third University, excellent academic performance…”
“…rich in social practice experience, and possesses the following certificates.”
“Currently, Li Mingluo has fallen into a vegetative state due to a fraud incident and is temporarily unmarried.”
After reading through all of the victim’s information, Lu Ren stroked his chin, thinking once again.
From the documents, this boy named Li Mingluo had a very clear plan for his future and would not let himself get stuck on one path.
During his freshman year, he was already preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam while getting certificates for future job hunting.
It could be said that he was a quite outstanding University Student.
If not for the fraud Event, he would probably have become a useful talent for society.
“Hmm…”
The more he couldn’t find anything wrong from the documents, the deeper the doubt in Lu Ren’s heart became.
Someone like this, who had a clear understanding of his future, had worked various summer jobs, and could even retake exams the following year if he failed to get a certificate.
Would such a person really lose their head for a moment, without even the slightest bit of wariness, choose to believe a liar’s words and be cheated out of so much money?
He didn’t quite believe it.
“Phew…”
Lu Ren clasped his hands behind his head and looked at the ceiling, knowing that thinking blindly like this was useless.
Even if he shared the doubts in his heart with Sapphire and Meteor, they would probably think he was just too nervous, making everything look like a Monster was influencing things behind the scenes.
After all, not every Monster could evade his Magic Scouting and do bad things behind the scenes without being noticed.
If such a thing really happened, it could only prove that the Night Demon’s influence on Humans was far too deep.
Exhaling, Lu Ren sat up from his chair and temporarily gave up on his stray thoughts.
Fine, since there’s no evidence anyway, I shouldn’t worry about it so much for now.
If someone else also became like Li Mingluo, entering a “vegetative state” overnight, then he would consider tracking down the truth behind this Crime Case.
For now, he would just enjoy life.
Just as Lu Ren was thinking this, his Roommate Xu Wenxing suddenly stood up, came to his side, and patted his shoulder.
“Brother Ren, I have to go out for a bit later. I probably won’t be back until tomorrow morning. Just lock the door when you go to sleep tonight; no need to wait for me.”
“You’re going out?” Lu Ren was a bit surprised. “What’s wrong? You’re actually leaving the University for so long.”
“A friend of my Dad’s has arrived in City A. My Dad asked me to take him around City A for the night, and tomorrow he’ll come to personally receive this friend,” Xu Wenxing explained.
“…Is your Dad serious?” Lu Ren was a bit speechless.
His own friend was coming to visit, yet he made his son receive the guest.
What was this, cultivating interpersonal relationships for his son?
What kind of wealthy family tradition for raising a child was this?
“He’s serious. I don’t know what my Dad is thinking, making me receive the guest of all people. He doesn’t think about it; someone like me who stays cooped up in the Dormitory or at home every day, do I look like someone who can receive guests?”
Xu Wenxing sighed, appearing quite helpless about this matter as well.
Lu Ren thought about the recent incidents and decided to give Xu Wenxing a warning, so he spoke up.
“Be careful when you’re hosting him. Don’t go to business KTVs. If you get targeted by someone and get caught up in a fraud or have photos taken privately, then you’ll be in trouble.”
Hearing Lu Ren’s words, Xu Wenxing seemed to remember something and nodded with some realization.
“I would’ve forgotten if you hadn’t mentioned it, Brother Ren. This friend of my Dad’s was actually a victim of fraud before.”
“……Huh?”
Lu Ren was a bit surprised. He didn’t expect his casual words to actually have a real basis.
Was his luck actually that good?
“Sigh, you don’t know, Brother Ren. This friend of my Dad’s is in the internet industry.”
“At that time, he caught the trend and made a lot of money. People in the industry called him a top-tier tycoon.”
“But unfortunately, his level of awareness wasn’t very good. He got lucky and made a fortune once, then wanted to do it a second time. As a result, he experienced a scam, was swindled out of a ton of money, and nearly committed suicide.”
Speaking of this, Xu Wenxing shrugged, seemingly feeling regretful for his Dad’s friend’s experience.
“However, later on, he followed someone’s recommendation and attended a training class. After that, his entire mental outlook became much better. He wasn’t so dejected anymore and gradually made the money back.”
“The only strange thing is that he spends all day recommending this training class to all sorts of friends.”
