At that moment, the other person subconsciously looked over and noticed Gu Chen’s presence.
Both of them froze almost simultaneously.
One was the school’s number one bully, and the other was the school’s number one goddess; both were famous figures.
Although they knew of each other, they had never interacted, nor had they ever spoken a single word.
To appear at the school gate at the same time by such a coincidence was truly unexpected.
Su Yuqing clearly showed a guilty expression.
She lowered her head and walked away quickly, heading toward an unknown destination.
‘Strange, even the school belle has learned how to skip class,’ Gu Chen thought, scratching his head in confusion.
However, he didn’t dwell on it and headed toward the police station as fast as he could.
***
Half an hour later, at the Chengnan City People’s Police Station.
Gu Chen sat in the interrogation room with a frustrated expression, looking bitterly at the officer recording his statement.
The other party hadn’t lied to him; they were merely supplementing the chain of evidence based on the involved parties’ statements.
As for Tang Ziya’s side, the police had already questioned them over the phone.
Since Gu Chen had actually used his fists, he had to come in person to report and go through the official process.
However, the duration of this process exceeded his expectations.
What he didn’t expect was that shortly after he entered the police station, Su Yuqing followed.
She was even led into an interrogation room by specialized investigators.
She was currently right next door to him.
The only difference was that Gu Chen was slightly better off since he wasn’t wearing handcuffs.
“Speak! Why did you publish adult novels on the internet?!”
“I ran out of money, so of course I had to write… If I don’t write, I won’t have any money to spend.”
Su Yuqing leaned back in her chair with a look of utter resignation.
She lacked any of the dignified and elegant aura she maintained at school.
“Nonsense! There are many genres and categories of webnovels you could write. Why did you have to write smut?! Don’t you know that only the scum of society would break the law to write such things?!”
The female officer stared intently at Su Yuqing, gritting her teeth with every word.
It was clear how furious she was.
Originally, the novel was only updated on an encrypted forum with good privacy, so it shouldn’t have been noticed.
But the problem was that Su Yuqing wrote too well.
The story was reposted by a large number of readers, causing it to unexpectedly break out of its niche and gain massive fame.
People in the industry even commented that after *Lady Baijie*, this was another erotic classic that would be passed down for ages.
So, unsurprisingly, she was targeted by the police.
They traced Su Yuqing’s information through her IP address and ordered her to surrender at the station to seek leniency.
“Novels have categories too. What I wrote was ‘youth daily life.’ It’s just that there’s a bit of what you call ‘yellow’ in it…”
Su Yuqing said, spreading her hands helplessly.
“Nonsense! Over 300,000 words, and you bed one woman every single chapter! The detailed descriptions alone can reach 3,000 words! You’re telling me that’s just ‘a little’?! As a model student who should be an example for the youth, can’t you write a decent novel?”
“…”
Su Yuqing answered calmly, but there was bitterness at the corners of her mouth.
‘Hilarious! If I don’t put erotica in the book, absolutely no one will read it!’
Su Yuqing had once tried to write serious books.
During that time, her life was worse than death, living on a monthly attendance bonus of 600 yuan.
She had clearly written with all her heart, but she just couldn’t attract readers.
In contrast, those brainless “face-slapping” stories had crowds of people following them; it was completely incomprehensible.
It got to the point where she only dared to eat one meal a day.
There was no meat in her rice and no oil in her vegetables.
She could only barely survive by eating instant noodles every day.
By the time the book was finished, it hadn’t even broken 100 average subscriptions.
What was most hateful was that even the old man picking up trash next door and the middle-aged women receiving tips while dancing in the square made more in a month than her attendance bonus.
In reality, maybe she really was scum!
But it was undeniable that in her specific circle, she was truly called a “Great God” author.
Even Su Yuqing herself hadn’t expected that combining good writing skills with adult content would have such a great effect.
She had four fan groups, each with over 3,000 members.
And every single one of them was a loyal fan!
With a few hundred thousand words, her current share of forum coins amounted to tens of thousands of yuan.
She had never enjoyed such treatment in her life.
“What kind of attitude is that?”
Su Yuqing’s nonchalant manner made the female officer even angrier.
If it weren’t for the fact that she was still a minor, she probably would have been detained immediately.
The officer threatened, “If you continue to be uncooperative, we’ll have to notify your parents.”
“Whatever. He doesn’t care if I live or die anyway.”
Su Yuqing shrugged.
She wasn’t afraid of that at all; otherwise, she wouldn’t have dared to update freely on the encrypted forum until now.
After all, if her family found out about this, at best it would be “social death,” and at worst, it would be a “seven-匹-wolf” leather belt warning.
“You!!”
The female officer was losing her patience, glaring with clenched teeth.
But then, another officer suddenly walked in and handed her a folder.
It was the background investigation on Su Yuqing’s life.
After reading the file, the female officer’s expression shifted from surprise to softness. She looked at Su Yuqing again and sighed.
“Su Yuqing, even if your family situation isn’t good, you shouldn’t do this kind of thing. Calling you here now is to help you, don’t you know that?”
“Help me? Then when I was so hungry that I was picking leftovers out of the trash, why didn’t I see any of you helping me?”
Su Yuqing asked coldly.
Her experiences had made her lose hope in many things.
That was why she worked so hard to maintain her identity as the campus goddess.
Even if the admiration and respect were fake, it didn’t matter.
As long as outsiders saw her as a cold, noble daughter from a wealthy family, that was enough.
The female officer found herself at a loss for words, opening her mouth but saying nothing.
Finally, she spoke seriously, “I originally planned to detain you for several dozen days before letting you go. However, considering you’re still a minor and facing high school graduation this year, I’ll let you off this once. I hope you can turn over a new leaf and write a good work to give back to the readers who support you.”
The officer put down the documents, adjusted her emotions, and walked over to Su Yuqing.
As she unlocked the handcuffs, she spoke softly.
“Even if you detained me, I wouldn’t regret — wait… you’re letting me go?”
Su Yuqing was stunned for a moment.
“You can go! But before you leave, I’m warning you: if I catch you writing this kind of pornographic fiction on the internet again, I will absolutely not show you any mercy, even if you are a high school student!!!”
“I know. I won’t write it again,” Su Yuqing nodded.
When she received the call, she thought she would be locked up.
She hadn’t expected it to just be a lecture and a reprimand.
This was quite a surprise.
She had guessed this day would come, but she hadn’t expected it to be so soon.
Fortunately, she had already collected tens of thousands in donations, so it wasn’t a total loss.
It was just a pity for her book, *A Young Girl’s Longing*.
It seemed she would have to get a new alias and find an even safer place to write.
‘If I don’t let myself make money, I might as well kill myself…’
“Good. A child who can correct their mistakes is a good child.”
Unaware of Su Yuqing’s true thoughts and assuming she had actually repented, the female officer nodded.
“Then follow me out. You just need to sign a letter of guarantee.”
In this way, Su Yuqing’s smut novel scandal ended with a minor punishment and a lecture.
