Chapter 118: Joining the Game
The housekeeper stammered, "Well, the Madam wouldn't let us call Doctor Liu."
After hearing what the housekeeper said, Qi Mo understood that his mother was not sick, but was up to something weird again.
He said calmly, "That means she's not seriously ill. If she can't bear it anymore, she'll go to the hospital herself."
After hanging up the phone, he rubbed his eyebrows and smiled at himself.
In fact, Bai Lan is not much better than Liu Dongsheng. He and Lin Xi really share the same suffering.
······
National Day is here in a flash.
Lin Xi was sitting in the studio while the lighting technician was adjusting the lights.
She held her chin up in thought. During this period, she had been taking time to pay attention to the news online, but the Internet was extremely quiet.
She is still on the hot search because the official of "Extreme Survival" edited some live broadcast footage and sold it to major TV stations. After all, there is a time difference in the live broadcast, and many people did not watch it in full. Now it is being broadcast on CCTV.
Lin Xi has been on the hot search list again because of this.
However, apart from topics related to "Extreme Survival," there is nothing negative.
She thought about it and sent a message to Qi Mo, "Did you do something to Liu Dongsheng? He is so quiet."
Qi Mo replied, "Nothing much. We just monitored his phone calls and sent a few people to follow him so that he couldn't contact the media."
This is a solution, but it is a waste of manpower and resources.
Lin Xi was about to send another message when Qi Mo replied, "Don't worry, it won't be long before Liu Dongsheng leaves the capital on his own."
Lin Xi asked again, "What do you mean? I told you not to mess around, or you'll get your hands dirty."
Qi Mo just replied, "Don't worry, I won't do anything rash."
Lin Xi was about to continue sending messages when Li Xiaoqiu came over and said, "The director wants you to come over for the shoot."
Lin Xi had no choice but to put down her phone and stand up to take pictures.
That evening, it was almost eleven o'clock when Liu Dongsheng finally got home from get off work.
He feels that he has been very unlucky recently.
Because he had taken leave some time ago, his boss was very dissatisfied with him and threw a lot of work at him.
We even have to work overtime during the National Day holiday.
Liu Dongsheng didn't dare to resist, as this job had become very important.
Huang Juan was fired from the company for taking leave and has not found a job yet. Now her family relies on his salary to live.
His actual salary is less than 10,000 yuan, and the rent is close to 4,000 yuan. Liu Caifang even called him yesterday to ask for living expenses.
He reluctantly gave a thousand.
During this period, he tried to contact the media whenever he had the chance.
Call the number you randomly searched for.
When several larger media outlets heard that he was Lin Xi's father and was going to expose Lin Xi's negative information, they simply hung up the phone and ignored him.
There were a few people who were interested in him, but he was extremely busy recently. When he finally found some time to meet with them, something always went wrong.
Once I made an appointment with someone to meet after get off work, but when I was about to ride an electric bike, I found that the tire of the bike had been punctured and I couldn’t ride it.
It was very late. He walked for a while and saw that he was running out of time. He spent a lot of money to take a taxi to the agreed location, but he didn't see anyone.
I called, but there was a busy tone.
He had to go home.
Another time, he made an appointment with a self-media anchor who had tens of millions of fans. On the way there, his electric bike accidentally collided with another electric bike. He fell to the ground and broke his knee. He argued with the anchor for a long time and the anchor finally paid him two hundred yuan in compensation.
This wasted time, and before he could get over there, he received a call from the anchor, who scolded him, saying that he was a liar and there was no need to meet him.
It dragged on for half a month, and Liu Dongsheng still failed to successfully expose the news.
Tonight, his boss gave him a strict order that he must finish the work in his hands today. After completion, he can upload the results to his email before he can leave work.
Liu Dongsheng didn't finish until after ten o'clock and rode his electric bike home.
When a person is unlucky, even drinking cold water will make his teeth ache. Who knew that when he was about to get home, something unexpected happened again and his electric car ran out of battery.
Liu Dongsheng had no choice but to get out of the car and push it. Fortunately, he was not far from home.
The house they live in now is a former dormitory building of a bankrupt state-owned factory.
The dormitory building is an old building built decades ago, otherwise the rent would not be so cheap.
To go home, I have to pass through an old factory area. The factory has long stopped production. The lighting on this road is dim and not many people walk on it.
Liu Dongsheng pushed the cart and walked forward with a lot of complaints.
When passing the old factory area, I saw a drunk man in front of me.
No one knew how much the man had drunk. He was staggering as he walked, carrying a black travel bag in his hand.
As he was walking, he tripped over something and fell to the ground, and the travel bag he was holding also fell to the ground.
The zipper of the travel bag was not closed tightly, and when it fell to the ground, the contents fell out.
The man was lying on the ground, snoring. Liu Dongsheng was still some distance away from him, but he could smell the smell of alcohol.
Liu Dongsheng was not a helpful person and didn't bother to care about the drunk man on the ground. He was about to walk past quickly when he suddenly saw what was spilled out of the bag. It turned out to be two bundles of hundred-yuan bills.
It was the kind where there was a bundle of 10,000 yuan in a bank account, and two bundles fell out.
Liu Dongsheng's heart began to pound as he listened to the man's snoring. He looked around but there was no sign of him.
He became bolder, parked his electric bike aside, and bent down to pick up the money on the ground.
When he bent down, he saw that there were still many bundles of hundred-dollar bills in the travel bag.
Liu Dongsheng's heart was beating fast. He stuffed the two bundles of money into his pocket and reached out to pick up the travel bag.
He pulled but it didn't budge.
Only then did I realize that the long strap of the travel bag was still in the drunk man's hand.
Without thinking, he pried the drunk man's hand apart.
Who knew the drunk man suddenly sat up, squinting his eyes and asked, "What are you doing?"
Liu Dongsheng was so frightened that he let go of his hand. Just as he was about to turn around and run away, he suddenly saw the drunk man slowly fall down again.
He mustered up the courage to go forward and take a look. The drunk man had his eyes closed and seemed to have fallen asleep again.
Liu Dongsheng looked at the half-open travel bag and couldn't resist the temptation, so he simply pulled the strap hard.
Before he could pull it twice, the drunk man was woken up again.
Not quite awake, the drunk closed his eyes and sat up in a daze. While playing tug-of-war with Liu Dongsheng, he muttered quietly, "Don't, don't steal my money. This is over a million yuan. Get out of here!"
When Liu Dongsheng heard the number of more than one million, his heart beat faster.
He didn't want to compete with the drunk man and wanted to take out the money, but he didn't have a bag to put it in. There was room under the seat of the electric bike for some money, but it probably wouldn't be enough. He had to transfer it bit by bit, and he was afraid someone would come and see it.
Still have to take the bag and go.
