Chen Yiyang could understand the students' concerns.After all, if Professor Guo's issue came to light, many people would be dragged down and punished.
The school might even think to cover it up if they can.
The best outcome would be for Professor Guo to resign voluntarily, and the school to pretend nothing happened.
However, Chen Yiyang certainly couldn't let this happen.
Concealing this would be beneficial now, but who can guarantee that this Professor Guo won't scam again and be exposed in the future.
By that time, Chen Yiyang wouldn't dare to casually invest in the school's research teams anymore. The impact could be as severe as another Hanxin scandal.
After discussing with the students, Chen Yiyang prepared a report for his assistant to hand-deliver to the school leadership.
He decided to test the students' thoughts and see if the school leadership would indeed try to suppress the issue after receiving the report.
If the school proactively exposes the video, then everyone would be happy, and Chen Yiyang wouldn't need to intervene.
If not,
Chen Yiyang would personally unveil the matter.
After confirming that Professor Guo was indeed a fraud, Chen Yiyang lost interest in staying around to look for investment opportunities, and so he returned directly to Lin'an.
Recently, on the internet, there were circulating claims about Hong Chengchou altering the Qing Dynasty Royal Family lineage.
Even though some experts and scholars came out to debunk it.
But with the collective efforts of netizens, more evidence for this claim emerged.
This was because the chief editor of the official historical record, "Veritable Records of Qing Taizong", where this piece of history was recorded, was none other than Hong Chengchou.
Of course, Hong Chengchou wasn't the only chief editor initially, but because the other chief editors either died of illness or resigned, it was largely Hong Chengchou who led the compilation.
The "Veritable Records of Qing Taizong" was revised twice during the Shunzhi period, and both times, Hong Chengchou was the chief editor.
The first revision happened during Dorgon's period, and after Dorgon died suddenly from a fall, the top-ranking Manchu chief editor Jiang Ling was executed, with the official reason being: unauthorized alteration of history.
Shortly after the second revision started, the top-ranking chief editor was still a Manchu named Xifu, who died suddenly within six months.
That year, Hong Chengchou had already become the Minister of War, overseeing five provinces. Technically, he wouldn't need to concern himself with historical compilation anymore.
After all, since ancient times, the position responsible for historical compilation was usually a reward for high-ranking officials who didn't want to handle specific affairs.
Since he had become the Minister of War, he shouldn't need to take on this position unless he wanted to ensure that the content favored him.
Even stranger, in the fourth year of the Shunzhi reign, the top scholar Lü Gong suddenly decided to retire back to his hometown, abandoning his official duties and titles, telling his family it was to avoid "the calamity of Lao Ai".
At the time, people didn't understand exactly what was happening.
Now it seems that the "calamity of Lao Ai" referred to the empress dowager seducing men from outside!
While Chen Yiyang was absorbing all this gossip, his phone suddenly showed an incoming international call.
Chen Yiyang glanced at the caller ID, and it turned out to be from Moy Hua.
Without further ado, Chen Yiyang answered the call.
"Did you guys launch an attack?!"
As soon as the call connected, Moy Hua's panicked voice came through.
"What the heck?!"
Chen Yiyang was taken aback.
He looked at the perfectly peaceful social media platforms on his computer and said with absolute certainty, "Nothing is happening on my side."
"Over here, there's a building on fire, and I can't access the internet. None of the websites are loading for me, so I'm worried if you launched a cyberattack."
"Don't worry about that."
Chen Yiyang tried logging into some domestic websites and found that they were all accessible.
He then used a VPN to check foreign websites and found that none of them were loading.
Game sites wouldn't load, ChatGPT wouldn't load, and Twitter wouldn't load either.
Now Chen Yiyang understood why Moy Hua was so anxious.
If this happened abroad, it would be like the internet had collapsed.
Adding to the chaos, on Moy Hua's side, a building had caught fire, which terrified her into thinking a war had started.
After calming Moy Hua down for a while, Chen Yiyang realized that half an hour had passed, and those foreign websites were still not loading.
So he tried to log into Down Detector.
Down Detector is an online platform used to monitor and report various internet service outages to help users understand service status.
Typically, when there's an issue logging into websites abroad, one can check this platform for specific reasons.
But Chen Yiyang found that Down Detector couldn't be accessed either.
What.
Chen Yiyang was a bit dumbfounded.
Did the foreign websites all simultaneously crash? Why can't any of them be accessed?
Chen Yiyang attempted to access game servers abroad, only to find that they showed server connection failure.
Left with no choice, Chen Yiyang called Wen Liangfeng to inquire about the situation.
"I'm just as bewildered," Wen Liangfeng told Chen Yiyang. "I was using foreign web pages an hour ago, and suddenly, they became unreachable. This crash has lasted at least an hour.
I asked some friends abroad, and they told me that now all internet users are bewildered because none of the major websites have been accessible for a whole hour, and they think the world is collapsing."
