"Inventory." A strange light flashed in Lin Yu's eyes as he tried to open the inventory.
Soon, one item after another was stored in his inventory.
Lin Yu's hands were empty, but as long as he had a thought, the props could immediately appear in his hands.
This undoubtedly greatly improves convenience; items that are no longer needed can be stored in the inventory.
"A nice little feature," Lin Yu commented. Overall, the benefits of this feature outweigh the drawbacks.
"If anyone tries to steal my props, they're destined to get nothing," Lin Yu said calmly.
He thought of Liu Haoran, who sent people to ambush and kill him, and also wanted to seize his treasures, thinking that he could be manipulated at will. Now, although Lin Yu was no match for him, he at least had the ability to fight to the death.
Of course, even so, Lin Yu felt that the enemy should not be underestimated, especially since this person might have gone mad.
"Two days have passed. Has Liu Haoran made any further moves?"
Lin Yu opened his phone. He had been spending almost the entire time in the game these past two days and hadn't had time to check his phone. As soon as he opened it, he saw a bunch of missed calls.
Lin Yu glanced at the phone and noticed that the most frequent callers were Sun Qianqian, Zhao Daqiang, and an unknown number.
Lin Yu clicked into the chat group and saw one message after another.
Sun Qianqian:
"Song Tianhuo, there are rumors online that you and the leader of the Fire Extinguishing Gang are not the same person. What's going on?"
Zhao Daqiang:
"Yeah, @Song Tianhuo, what's going on?"
Sun Qianqian:
"@Song Tianhuo, you don't actually have a different name, do you?"
Zhao Daqiang:
"@Song Tianhuo, don't try to get away with silence, come and say hello."
...
Lin Yu thought for a moment. Since the enemy already knew of his existence, there was no point in hiding it anymore, so he said:
"Um, my surname is Lin and my given name is Yu. Song Tianhuo was my childhood nickname."
The two people in front of the two screens were speechless. "You even came up with nicknames for kids?"
Zhao Daqiang said, "Wait a minute, why does the name Lin Yu sound so familiar?"
Sun Qianqian also said, "Indeed, I think I've seen it online. Wait, let me check."
Lin Yu was taken aback. When did even my real name become so famous? It seems one shouldn't be too outstanding.
But then Sun Qianqian sent a message:
"Hey! Wanted criminal Lin, could it be you?"
Zhao Daqiang immediately sent a shocked emoji:
"No wonder you look so familiar, boss. Could it really be you? How did you become a wanted criminal?"
"No wonder he didn't reply to our messages; he's on the run to avoid punishment."
Lin Yu was a little confused. "What wanted criminal?"
Sun Qianqian immediately sent over a news article:
Lin Yu's expression changed after just two glances.
[Wanted: Suspect Lin, male, 18 years old, from Hangzhou, Jiangnan Province, committed the crime of luring seven strangers into his home and brutally murdering them. His actions are heinous and he is now wanted throughout the province.]
We urge all citizens to actively provide clues. The highest reward is 100,000 yuan.
—The security situation in Hangzhou, Jiangnan Province.
Sun Qianqian and Zhao Daqiang both fell silent and stopped talking to Lin Yu, seemingly avoiding any appearance of impropriety.
Lin Yu frowned, his entire face falling.
"I'm wanted by the police, what happened?"
Logically, even if the security guards found a body in my home, they should have conducted an investigation and collected evidence first, or contacted me.
Now, without saying a word, they're going to arrest me.
Lin Yu felt a chill.
Are there a large number of security guards looking for me all over the world right now?
The temporary accommodation they are currently staying in was actually rented by Gao Yang with Lin Yu's help, and Gao Yang's identification documents are being used.
If I hadn't taken that extra step, the security guards would probably have come to arrest me already.
"Something's not right," Lin Yu murmured, a possibility forming in his mind:
It was Liu Haoran; he bribed everyone in the public security bureau.
This is intolerable. As a helpless ordinary citizen, he was waiting for the official institutions to stand up for him. Now, not only have they not stood up for him, but they have also aided and abetted the evildoers.
Lin Yu thought of Chen Ping. Was he involved in this?
Can I still trust him?
Lin Yu pondered, "The other party knows very well about my relationship with Gao Yang. If he had also been bribed, he should have found this place through Gao Yang long ago."
Lin Yu opened his contacts and dialed Chen Ping's number.
"Beep beep." The phone rang again and again, but no one answered.
Lin Yu was getting a little impatient. He tried to stay calm. The other party wasn't answering the phone, probably because they couldn't contact him using their own number.
Lin Yu checked his missed calls and found that an unknown number had called.
Lin Yu immediately dialed the number, and the other end answered quickly. Chen Ping's slightly hoarse voice came through:
"Lin Yu, you're in big trouble!"
Lin Yu remained silent, listening attentively; he needed to gather firsthand information.
Chen Ping said:
Two nights ago, a group of people broke into a hotel in the northern part of the city, beat two female employees until they vomited blood, and boasted that no one could stop them.
"After receiving the report, I immediately led my team to the scene and confronted the criminals."
"The criminals escaped, and I led a team to chase them all night before finally bringing them to justice."
Chen Ping paused for a moment, then continued:
"After working all night, all members of our team took a day off. When we returned to the local police station the next day, we saw that your arrest warrant had already been issued."
"The person in charge of your case is Captain Lu from the Second Security Team."
