Chapter 537 Half of the Country

Fortunately, in the end, the drinking party didn't happen.

Because just when they were about to drink, Hua Qi's phone rang.

After answering the phone, Hua Qi's face quickly became solemn. Luoyang and the others were also worried because of the sudden change in Hua Qi's face. After she hung up, they immediately asked: "Hua Qi, what's the matter?"

Hua Qi said to Luoyang: "It's about Wei Long."

"Wei Long, isn't that the president of the Science Fiction Association? Why did you suddenly mention him?" Amber said with a little surprise.

Hua Qi did not answer, but asked: "Do you remember the last conflict between the boss and Fan Zhiming? The time when Fan Zhiming won the Longguo Science Fiction Award."

Amber heard this, thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Do you mean that Fan Zhiming provoked the boss before, and Wei Long was behind it?"

"Not only that!" Hua Qi sneered: "Including the recent conflict between the boss and Bai Yi, this conflict may not have been triggered, but a science fiction writer named Xia Yi suddenly broke the news, which caused so much trouble for the boss."

"This person is so annoying." Liu Qin frowned.

It's a very simple logic. Although she doesn't understand the affairs of the literary circle very well, if someone targets Luoyang, he is her enemy, no matter if the other party is the president of the Science Fiction Association or someone else.

"So what should I do?" Liu Qin looked at Luoyang.

"Of course, I will get rid of him." Luoyang said.

Getting rid of Wei Long is the most thorough way. Otherwise, with his status in the science fiction community of Longguo, I am afraid that he will cause me a lot of trouble in the future. After all, the identity of the president of the Science Fiction Association is still very useful.

Liu Qin looked at Hua Qi: "The person on the phone is your person who was sent out to investigate, right? Did you find anything?"

"I didn't investigate Wei Long directly." Hua Qi said: "I investigated Fan Zhiming and Xia Yi, as well as some science fiction writers who are close to Wei Long. A friend of mine is a hacker and hacked into the phones and computers of these two people. It turned out that they seemed to have some transactions with Wei Long."

People like Wei Long would definitely be very careful.

But people like Xia Yi and Fan Zhiming would definitely not be as careful as Wei Long.

So Hua Qi was very smart. He found the pulse right away and asked people to investigate Fan Zhiming, who had previously clashed with Luoyang, and Xia Yi, who had provoked the conflict between Luoyang and Bai Yi. As a result, they really found clues.

"Is there any specific evidence?" Luoyang asked.

"Yes, my friend got the transaction records between Fan Zhiming and Wei Long. Before that, Fan Zhiming won the Longguo Science Fiction Award, and they were working together behind the scenes to divide the award." Hua Qi said word by word.

"This guy is really not clean."

Luoyang was not surprised at all. In order to appease him, Wei Long even used the award to lure him. This fully shows that in Wei Long's mind, the science fiction community of Longguo is just a bargaining chip to achieve his goal.

"Great, we can call the police directly!" Liu Qin said in surprise.

As long as the evidence of the other party's crime is obtained, then things will be easy to handle-Longguo Science Fiction Award is a real national award. If someone is found out to be interfering, he will definitely go to jail.

"Don't rush to call the police. Do you have any other questions?"

Luoyang looked at Hua Qi. He felt that Hua Qi seemed to have something to say.

"Two things. First, if Wei Long is convicted, many science fiction writers who have had transactions with him will be implicated. This will be the biggest scandal in the literary world of Longguo in recent years. Second, it seems that the science fiction writers stopped writing because Wei Long controlled the award..."

After Hua Qi finished speaking, she looked at Luoyang.

She knew that the boss would definitely understand what she meant.

"Please ask Wu Qin to come for me - oh, and Chairman Lin Yifeng, ask them both to come out." Luoyang made up his mind.

"I see." Hua Qi nodded.

——————————————————

In the evening, Luoyang met Lin Yifeng and Wu Qin at the Tiandu revolving restaurant.

Lin Yifeng was as elegant as ever, and took the initiative to say: "Luoyang, I wish you a happy new year in advance. What's the matter with asking us out at this time?"

Wu Qin's smile was also very warm: "Or maybe you are here to spy on the enemy. I have to admit that your "Rural Teacher" is indeed amazing. I may not be your opponent, but Chairman Lin is preparing a long novel, so you have to be careful."

"Chairman Lin is going to participate in the competition with a long science fiction?" Luoyang looked at Lin Yifeng with some surprise.

"I have been preparing for more than two years, and I prepared the work just for the award, so I am considered to have taken a big advantage." Lin Yifeng said a little embarrassedly, after all, he was the one who promoted the establishment of this award.

When an award appears, most writers cannot come up with a long science fiction to participate.

So Lin Yifeng did take advantage of the long science fiction he prepared in advance, but this award was established because of him. Without him, there would be no Galaxy Award, so no one would think it was inappropriate for him to take advantage of it.

After chatting for a while, Luoyang stepped into the main topic of today.

He looked at Wu Qin: "Teacher Wu Qin, I want to ask, did you stop writing two years ago because someone cheated you out of the first prize of the Longguo Science Fiction Award?"

Hua Qi's investigation was a bit vague, just saying that Wu Qin's work could have won the first prize, but the next morning, the situation suddenly changed, and the first place became another work of average quality.

Then Wu Qin announced that she would stop writing. At that time, this news made a big fuss, but it was quickly suppressed.

Wu Qin's smile disappeared, and Lin Yifeng's expression gradually became serious. They didn't expect Luoyang to find them for this old incident. The two of them were silent for a while.

Luoyang smiled and rubbed his fingers gently.

"Actually, I invited you two because I have some evidence about Wei Long. If these evidences are handed over to the police, Wei Long will have to spend at least two years in prison, but I don't want to let him go so easily..."

Lin Yifeng couldn't help but ask: "How did you get the evidence against him?"

Luoyang smiled and said: "Chairman Lin, don't worry about this. Now I want to ask Teacher Wu Qin - I'm Sister Wu, can Sister Wu help to testify against Wei Long in court? Only if Sister Wu testifies, Wei Long will receive the greatest punishment!"

"No!"

Wu Qin didn't speak, but Lin Yifeng couldn't help but stand up.

"What's wrong with it?" Luoyang asked curiously.

"No means no, this matter is not as simple as you think." Lin Yifeng frowned.

Luoyang looked at Wu Qin: "Does Sister Wu mean the same thing?"

Wu Qin hesitated, her eyes seemed to be filled with pain: "I..."

Lin Yifeng said: "She won't agree either, Luoyang, can we talk about this later?"

Luoyang asked back: "Why wait until later if it can be solved now? He is committing a crime, why can he get away with it?"

"Things can't be completely solved by distinguishing right from wrong. Luoyang, you are still young, don't act rashly now." Lin Yifeng said in a muffled voice.

"I thought Chairman Lin was really selfless, but now this attitude of protecting Wei Long is really confusing." Luoyang looked at Lin Yifeng, with an aggressive look in his eyes.

Under Luoyang's eyes, Lin Yifeng gradually became angry.

He suddenly yelled in a somewhat out-of-control manner: "Do you think I don't know what Wei Long did? Do you think I don't want to help Old Wu? Do you think I want to see him control the Dragon Country Science Fiction Award like this?"

Luoyang's expression did not change at all, as if he had anticipated Lin Yifeng's attitude: "But then you did nothing, the Galaxy Award cannot save the Science Fiction Award."

Lin Yifeng laughed bitterly, his voice a little hoarse: "But can you save the science fiction world by tripping him like this? Let me tell you, if Wei Long falls, what awaits us will be the complete collapse of the Dragon Country Science Fiction World, because there are many science fiction writers who have privately traded with Wei Long in recent years and they are all quite strong. It is no exaggeration to say that these people represent half of the Dragon Country Science Fiction! If he falls, half of the science fiction will fall! Who will fill this half!?"

After saying the last sentence, Lin Yifeng's breathing was a little disordered, and his eyes stared at Luoyang.

The atmosphere was a little dull for a while, and just when Lin Yifeng realized his loss of composure and wanted to say something, Luoyang suddenly laughed.

"I'm here to fill up the huge hole. If Dragon Country's science fiction collapses an inch, I'll fill it up an inch. If it collapses a foot, I'll fill it up a foot. If half of the science fiction industry collapses, I'll be that half. So what?"
