Scum Gong Walks the Career Line in the Crematorium

TL: Moonlit

Zhou Yuntang’s second brother, Zhou Zhengqing, is a top star in the entertainment industry with tens of millions of fans. At 8 o’clock in the morning, he posted a new update on his social media account.

In that post, Zhou Zhengqing revealed the incident of mistakenly identifying a child and portrayed Jiang Tian’s character as foolish, greedy, malicious, and petty, creating an image of a teenager who grew up in a harsh environment and was influenced negatively.

His fans had long known about Zhou Zhengqing’s adorable younger brother, who was obedient, well-behaved, and lovable, in stark contrast to the genuine young master of the Zhou family.

⌈I can’t believe Tangtang isn’t really Zheng’s biological brother. It’s so surprising.⌋

⌈Even though he is the biological child, he’s already seventeen years old and will soon become an adult. His character is already set, and it’s probably too late to change him. I feel sorry for Zheng.⌋

⌈At 17, he’s still bullying others at school, locking classmates on the balcony, causing them to miss exams. Such a person should be sent to prison to teach him how to be human.⌋

⌈The Zhou family has excellent genes. How did they end up with such a person?⌋

⌈What’s the use of good genes if the education environment is lacking?⌋

The news of the wealthy family’s mistaken identity, the real and fake prince, and the involvement in school bullying quickly became trending topics, spreading rapidly beyond the entertainment circle. Based on the details revealed by Zhou Zhengqing, netizens soon uncovered the identity of Lin Hanchuan.

As Lin Hanchuan had no social media accounts, people flooded the official account of Nanping High School, urging them to take strict actions against school bullies.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yuntang, who grew up in the Zhou family and received a good upbringing, became the object of public sympathy. Due to his frequent interactions with Zhou Zhengqing on social media, Zhou Yuntang also had a few million fans, all being “mom fans.” They were now feeling heartbroken and were trying to comfort him through comments.

Zhou Yuntang breathed a sigh of relief, happily giving his second brother Zhou Zhengqing a peck on the cheek, “Thank you, Second Brother! You always have a way!”

The eldest brother of the Zhou family snorted coldly.

Zhou Yuntang turned to his eldest brother and also gave him a peck on the cheek, “Thank you, Big Brother, for helping me delete the posts!”

The fourth brother, Zhou Ziming, could only think of contacting the original poster to delete the posts, but the eldest brother directly contacted the forum administrator, coercing and persuading them to empty the entire forum, wiping out all the posts entirely.

“Good boy,” the eldest brother of the Zhou family had a gentle smile on his lips as he casually wrapped his arm around Zhou Yuntang’s waist, securing him on his lap. “Is that how you’re going to brush me off, little brother?”

Zhou Yuntang looked innocent, blinking his big eyes. “Then, big brother, how do you want me to thank you?”

He deliberately elongated the last three words, with a soft and sweet tone at the end.

The fourth brother, Zhou Ziming, happened to witness this scene as he came downstairs. His gaze flickered, and he couldn’t help but speak, “Tangtang, you’re already seventeen, about to become an adult. You can’t sit on big brother’s lap anytime and anywhere like when you were a child.”

Among men, there was no such thing as avoiding being touchy, but it still felt somewhat strange, especially considering the atmosphere between them, which had an indescribable feeling.

The scenes that used to be common now made him feel uncomfortable all over.

Although Zhou Ziming loved his younger brother, he imagined himself holding him in his arms, but he hadn’t done that in a long time. He couldn’t accept a nearly grown man sitting on his lap and acting cute.

“Fourth brother, no matter how old I get, I’ll always be your baby,” Zhou Yuntang didn’t notice Zhou Ziming’s unease and continued playfully, “As long as you don’t mind, I’ll forever be your forever young little kid.”

Eldest brother Zhou looked at Zhou Ziming with a hint of sharpness, but when his gaze fell on Zhou Yuntang, it softened again, as if melting into tender affection. “You’re so adorable, Tangtang. Don’t just talk about hugging; you can even give me a kiss.”

After saying that, he leaned closer to Zhou Yuntang’s face and gave him a peck on his rosy and alluring lips.

Zhou Ziming’s eyes widened, his stomach churning, but Zhou Yuntang didn’t shy away from the kiss; instead, he leaned forward and pouted, saying, “Big brother, you can’t kiss me. I’ve grown up; I’m not a little baby anymore. You can’t kiss me.”

Zhou Zhengqing, who was busy with his phone, looked up and saw Zhou Yuntang’s sweet smile, so he smiled too.

Zhou Ziming couldn’t hold it in any longer and rushed out of the room. From behind, he heard Zhou Yuntang’s tender voice.

“Fourth brother, where are you going so early?”

Ignoring Zhou Yuntang’s voice, Zhou Ziming walked aimlessly towards his workplace, his mind in chaos. He didn’t know how he hadn’t noticed the issue before, but now he realized something was off.

“Which family of brothers behaves like this?” Zhou Ziming muttered to himself. The relationships among the Zhou brothers were considered friendly, but not to the extent of such intimacy. It was almost like… a couple deeply in love.

He sighed and stopped dwelling on the issue, casually unlocking his phone. When he saw a notification, he was once again surprised and quickly sent a text to Lin Hanchuan.

Shortly after, Lin Hanchuan replied with just two cold words: “I know.”

What did that mean? Zhou Ziming couldn’t understand. Maybe it was because of their blood ties, or perhaps it was the result of experiences in society, but he had somehow accepted Lin Hanchuan as his younger brother.

“Zhou Zhengqing has no shame, using his public influence against you, an ordinary person!” While texting Lin Hanchuan, Wan Li Shuang angrily exclaimed.

In the morning, Wan Li Shuang was still cheerful, but when he saw the push notifications on his phone after class, his good mood was ruined for the entire day.

In contrast, Lin Hanchuan seemed overly calm. “It’s just a small matter.”

“A small matter?!” Wan Li Shuang’s eyes turned red with anger. “Do you see how many people are criticizing you?”

Lin Hanchuan glanced at the comments and pointed to one: “Some people are speaking up for me.”

“Isn’t that just a few people? They are all criticizing you! They are all Zhou Zhengqing’s fans!” Wan Li Shuang was even more upset when he saw the comments filled with sarcastic remarks.

Under that particular comment, most of them were snide and mocking.

⌈If he wasn’t mistakenly identified, he would have been born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and his environment wouldn’t have been so bad. In the end, he is also a victim. There’s no need to criticize a teenager like this.⌋

Wan Li Shuang read it carefully and became even angrier. “There are only a few people defending you, and they are all being drowned out by those criticizing you! They are all Zhou Zhengqing’s fans!”

Most of the comments were sarcastic and mocking.

⌈I can’t even smoke near you; I’m afraid I’ll create some sacred relics with every puff.⌋

⌈He’s a victim of school bullying? Yet he bullies another innocent victim? He’s already eighteen, technically an adult, and should take responsibility for his actions.⌋

Lin Hanchuan patted Wan Li Shuang’s head to comfort her. “Don’t worry.”

Lin Hanchuan decisively registered an account and directly responded to the challenge from Zhou Zhengqing, the second brother of the Zhou family. In contrast to the lengthy and polished response of the other party written by professional writers, his update was simple and straightforward: “The Zhou family has nothing to do with me, and we have no relationship.”

People who saw this post were stunned.

⌈Didn’t Zhou Zhengqing say he would do whatever it takes to return to the Zhou family? And he’s been trying to defame Zhou Yuntang. What’s this…⌋

⌈Maybe it’s a strategy to retreat and advance? Pretending to be pitiful?⌋

⌈When he exposed all the information and let people expose Zhou Yuntang before, why didn’t he think that he would also face exposure one day? Serves him right!⌋

After posting the update, Lin Hanchuan logged off without looking at the comments. He was about to contact “001” to have them check the surveillance when he noticed Wan Li Shuang’s anxious expression next to him. He suddenly said, “Can you access the school’s surveillance?”

“I should be able to.” Wan Li Shuang didn’t know why Lin Hanchuan was asking this, but instinctively responded, looking puzzled.

“I posted on the forum because it’s the truth. I just told the truth to everyone,” Lin Hanchuan rarely explained anything to others, not showing anything on his face but feeling a bit strange inside. “Zhou Zhengqing distorted the truth to tarnish me, so I’ll give him a taste of the truth as well.”

Lin Hanchuan didn’t plan to have any further involvement with anyone from the Zhou family, but he also didn’t want Zhou Yuntang to continue being labeled as the young master of the Zhou family. That’s why he chose to expose the truth. Since Zhou Zhengqing had tried to tarnish him, he wouldn’t just let himself be bullied.

Wan Li Shuang understood what Lin Hanchuan wanted to do, and his eyes lit up. He said firmly, “I’ll call my mom to help you!”

Quick on the draw, he pressed the speed dial button before Lin Hanchuan could stop him. Seeing Wan Li Shuang’s excited expression, Lin Hanchuan didn’t dampen his enthusiasm.

The phone rang for several minutes before someone on the other end answered with a cold tone, “What’s the matter?”

“Mom! My good friend is being bullied!” Wan Li Shuang knew his own mother was very busy, so he went straight to the point, “Zhou Yuntang is the person the Zhou family mistook, Lin Hanchuan’s the true young master of the Zhou family, but they don’t want him and are smearing him online… The people from the Zhou family are so mean, not only do they not recognize him, but they also insult and bully him…”

He exaggerated the situation, pretending to be angry, and said, “Mom, think of a way to get revenge for him!”

“Do you think the Zhou family is like the Li family?” His mother’s tone did not reveal any emotions.

At this moment, Wan Li Shuang’s appearance made Lin Hanchuan see a glimpse of the ultimate evil second male lead, with a tendency to retaliate for any flaws, protect his loved ones, and act recklessly, often thinking of making others go bankrupt.

The original story didn’t mention much about the Wan family, only that the Wan family had a competitive relationship with the Zhou family. The Zhou family’s eldest brother spent several years laying the groundwork and eventually brought down the Wan family, becoming the richest man in the country.

Looking at Wan Li Shuang’s vivid expression and then thinking about his eventual ending, Lin Hanchuan unconsciously furrowed his brow.

“Sigh.” Wan Li Shuang let out a heavy sigh and then compromised, “Then help me, and make sure my friend’s situation is taken care of.”

Wan Li Shuang’s mother didn’t speak for a while, and then she said, “I will handle it. I am almost done with my work, and I will be able to rest at home for half a month. Your father should also be able to come home at that time. You can bring your friend home to visit then.”

“Thank you, Mom!” After hanging up the phone, Wan Li Shuang still looked excited.

Lin Hanchuan found it somewhat amusing and asked, “Why are you so excited?”

“I haven’t seen my mom in nearly a year, and I haven’t seen my dad for over half a year. I didn’t expect them to come back together…” He looked a little embarrassed, “They asked me to bring you home, which means my mom cares about you. She must have seen what happened to you online just now.”

More importantly, he had never had a friend since he was young, and Lin Hanchuan was his first friend. His mom must be happy about it too, as she allowed him to bring Lin Hanchuan home, which meant she also approved of this friend.

For some reason, Wan Li Shuang didn’t feel like mentioning this to Lin Hanchuan.
