Chapter 248  : OutcastOn Thursday, Qin Ran took a leave of absence and took a taxi to Jiangyang Hotel. When she arrived at the door of the designated room, she knocked according to the secret code and the door opened with a click.

Tang Yan’s familiar face appeared. Qin Ran entered the room and smelled some smoke in the room. It seemed that Tang Yan had smoked a lot before she came.

“Is the situation very urgent?” Last time, Tang Yan had already told Qin Ran that he needed her help, but he had said that it would be in a month. Now that Tang Yan had come to look for her in advance, Qin Ran was worried that there was a change in the plan and she needed to take action in advance.

Tang Yan stubbed out the cigarette butt in his hand and frowned. He handed a tablet on the table to Qin Ran. “Recently, there have been many cases of ‘sex communists’ hurting people indiscriminately in the country. The news has become bigger and bigger every time. The public opinion has already reached a white-hot stage. The chief is under a lot of pressure, so I’m naturally not doing well.”

“Sexual Communism” was an emerging term that had spread to the country in recent years. It originated from a chat room on a famous forum overseas. The chat room was called “Outcast”. At first, it was a network gathering place created by a group of unhappy university students to vent their dissatisfaction. Later, more and more people poured in. Outcast began to develop its own unique culture. The common characteristics of the members were world-weary, irritable, depressed, and more extreme than that, they even had antisocial tendencies.

A few years ago, as the feminist culture began to stir up an uprising in various countries and women called for independence, Outcast also changed the direction of the discussion and began to go against feminism.

Because Outcast had developed an exclusive screening system over a long period of development, the remaining 98% were male members. Their lives were unhappy and they were impatient. Some of them had no partners for a long time. Under the brainwashing of Outcast’s overall atmosphere, they completely developed the idea of objectifying women. In the end, they created a word that was very characteristic of Outcast: sexual communism.

The members of Outcast believed that women in this society were resources that should be enjoyed by men. Every man had the right to be assigned to such resources. Women did not deserve to have the right to choose.

Feminism and sexual communism were naturally completely incompatible. Outcast began to attack feminism vigorously and even threatened to assassinate some feminist leaders.

This evil wind had also blown into Country Z in the past two years. The irreconcilable class conflict in Country Z was reflected in the extremely unbalanced gender conflict. It could be said to be the fertile soil of nourishing sexual communism. The online gender confrontation that had repeatedly erupted in the past few years was an example.

In the past few months, the conflict had intensified. Vicious injuries had appeared in many cities in the country. During the investigation, Tang Yan learned that these people seemed to have been affected by sexual communism and had embarked on the path of extreme crime.

Qin Ran quickly read through the investigation information, her expression not looking too good either. She calmly analyzed, “It seems like someone is secretly promoting these crimes.”

It was difficult not to suspect this in such a high-frequency and similar case.

Tang Yan nodded. “I guess it should be related to an organization.” At this point, Tang Yan quickly glanced at Qin Ran. His expression seemed to be a little conflicted. Although Tang Yan quickly hid this abnormality, Qin Ran still quickly noticed it.

“What’s wrong? Did you find anything? You said last time that you wanted me to investigate the mastermind of these incidents and resolve the trouble. I promise you this, but if you have any new clues, you can’t hide it from me.

“Indeed, I’ve retired now. It’s not appropriate for you to tell me things that are too confidential. However, you’re almost squeezed out by Zhuang Peng now. I don’t think you have to be too obedient.” Qin Ran sat on the sofa and took a sip of water as she looked at Tang Yan calmly.

Tang Yan was currently the director of the A-rank Special Agent Agency. However, some time ago, the higher-ups had leaked some news and were preparing to transfer Tang Yan to the headquarters and let Zhuang Peng replace his position as the director.

To Tang Yan, this decision seemed to be a promotion, but in fact, it had deprived him of his true rights.

The headquarters was filled with big shots that he could not touch. If he went over, he would at most be arranged to have an idle job of drinking tea and reading newspapers all day. However, the director of the Special Agent Agency held real power. Even the leaders of the military committee and the Ministry of Defense had to give him some face.

Tang Yan suspected that someone wanted to mess with him. Moreover, the power behind that person was not small. After all, Tang Yan’s ancestor was the founder of the country, and his father was once an army general. He could be considered a “third military generation”. If someone dared to touch him, it meant that that person’s status was extremely high.
