章節 15: The man who moves like a ghost
Part 15
/*unedited*/
Social media is truly a fascinating place inside the cyberspace of the internet. If can accommodate millions of people at the same time. It can also make or break someone, and those with a faint of heart should not dwell or even delve into this community, the cyber community.
At this time, Joe Wang is currently browsing his new phone. After coming home, Melissa Krin didn't let Joe Wang go out because she is afraid that trouble would come for them. But to her surprise, it seems that the outside world hasn't known what had happened yet.
And so, with the money they have earned, Melissa Krin bought a high-end phone for Joe Wang. Then she also bought some groceries and some food.
After having dinner, Joe Wang began to familiarize himself with his new phone. He also joined some very famous social media platforms, like TalkTalk, MediaSphere, and Voidtube. After a long time of choosing for his user name, he decided on CrafterJoe.
As Joe Wang scanned the chat room, he noticed that there is a growing discussion. And when he read the words he almost laughed. This is because the topic is really eye-catching and almost ridiculous.
"The man who moves like a ghost!" Joe Wang read the title.
"I thought this world didn't know cultivation and that these are all the myth and bedtime stories in this world. I guess many people have those notions of wanting to see or even be like those immortals in their myth and stories…" Joe Wang thought with a smirk.
He opened the discussion topic and began reading. While scrolling down the chat discussion, Joe Wang's hand suddenly froze.
"Wait a minute… this… this situation seems familiar." He thought.
He then read the first-hand experience of a user named AliveInACloud.
AliveInACloud: "I was there when this happened. I saw that young man face against eight large men, and took them down like it was just a walk in a park."
KillingHound: "Haha… I thought I was just dreaming. I was also there and thought that it's just my imagination. I mean how could a whole person disappear and reappear anywhere in an instant. He was truly like a ghost."
BabyJill: "Yeah, I agree with you guys. But I caught everything on camera. Hehe…"
Hubris: "Hey, BabyJill, a link for that video, please! I want to see it again."
Then as Joe Wang scrolled down, he saw a video link and clicked it. Then his phone app transferred to a famous video app, Voidtube.
When Joe Wang saw the video, he almost jumps out and cursed out loud.
He didn't expect that what he did would be caught in camera. But luckily for him, because of the distance, his face is blurred and everything is unclear. But his action and the fighting scene is something out of a movie. And true to the post of the discussion, he truly was like a ghost.
His quick movements and his blurred image can think that he is truly a ghost that would appear and then disappear in the fight.
Joe Wang continues reading as the discussion online erupted and when he looks at the subscriber of the video and was shocked. From 1,000 it then goes up to 10,000 viewers.
Joe Wang then scrolled down to the video comments and he can see people talking about it. Many thought that it was a hoax; however, with the testimony of those who have seen it, people began to believe.
Then suddenly, not only just one video was posted online, but many.
With different angles and voices on the background, everyone started to believe and made the situation became sensational.
After reading, Joe Wang found his head aching.
He didn't know how to proceed from here on. If the police truly made an investigation, then they would found out who Melissa Krin is. And that would be too much trouble for her. Joe Wang didn't want to trouble her that much hence he immediately tried to think of a way on how to overcome this troublesome thing.
While Joe Wang is busy, the whole city is already in chaos. People began to circulate the video of the fight that afternoon. It even caught the eyes of the media as they too began to think of any news they can get from this.
Meanwhile, inside Angel Mei Ong's car shop the police have started doing some interviews. They began asking her about who the man is from the video. This is because it is clear that the man is trying to save her and another woman.
But no matter how hard they ask her she would just say that the man is someone who just passed that afternoon and saw her in trouble.
"Miss Angel, we know that this person is your savior so we understand that you will not divulge his identity. But you should also know that we have eight people in the hospital right now. Their wounds are not light. And because of this, the case becomes more complicated than you think." The policewoman who is interviewing her said.
"What you mean to say is that the boy who saved me would be imprisoned?" Angel Mei Ong suddenly blurted out in panic.
Deep in her heart, Joe Wang had helped her in many ways already. So she could not accept it that he would be in trouble because of her. But with that slip of the tongue, the policewoman has already caught on to the age of the person they wanted to get.
"So he is a boy, right? Is he still in high school?" the policewoman suddenly followed up.
When she heard the question, Angel Mei Ong suddenly covered her mouth.
"Miss Ong, it's no use hiding things from us. If you hide the information we can press charges on you for aiding a suspect." The policewoman threatened.
"You…"
"I didn't think that the police would be this way. When I was in trouble, where were you? If something happened to me, can you people save me? He was brave enough to face those people and prevent them from hurting me! So what do you want to do to someone like that? You just want to threaten me because you wanted to catch someone who did the right thing when no one wanted to." Angel Mei Ong suddenly shouted.
When her employees heard this and the other police officers in the area, everyone turned their gaze towards the policewoman and her.
The eyes of the employees of the car shop look at the policewoman in disgust. They too saw what happened and how the guy saved their boss, so they are partial to the opinion that the man is a hero.
"You… you cannot say that! I just wanted to do my job!" shouted back the policewoman.
When her superior heard this, he immediately walks towards the young policewoman and patted her shoulder.
Then he turned his gaze towards Angel Mei Ong.
"Miss Ong, I apologize for the attitude of my subordinate… Please forgive her for she is just new to the job." The police officer said as he sends a signal to the policewoman beside him.
"Officer Cha please apologizes to Miss Ong." The policeman who looks like her superior said with a commanding voice.
When Officer Cha heard this, she immediately became angry. She knows that she didn't do anything wrong. Even though that guy saved the woman, he still has no right to beat other people. As a police officer, she swore to protect the rights of everyone in the city, even those who did evil. Everyone should be treated fairly and justly through the law. If not then everything would be in chaos.
She knows the history and she knew that in those days, people put justice in their hands and the cycle of revenge is unending. This made the lives of the people in those days full of sorrow and impoverished. Hence she wanted to catch that guy who is acting like a hero.
But right now, she could not go against her superior because if she did then her job would get affected. No one knows how hard she worked just to be a police officer. This is her dream and also her promise to her dad before he passed away.
With reluctance in her eyes, officer Cha reluctantly turned her gaze at Angel Mei Ong and bowed her head.
"I'm sorry for my offense miss Angel." She said with gritted teeth.
She didn't know what the reason is, but right now, she is very angry with the woman. Officer Cha is thinking that the woman is protecting a very dangerous person, more dangerous than those thugs on the street.
Well, this mindset could not be blamed to her because officer Cha was raised to catch bad guys, especially those who dressed like good people yet in truth are the scum of the society.
Hence, deep in her heart, she would hunt down that person whom many people are talking about, the man who moves like a ghost.
