Chapter 9 A Sharp Explosion
Xiang Bei also marveled at Lin Beibei's abilities, noting that she had made progress in such a short time, but added that luck was an unpredictable thing.
She had a colleague who would set aside some time after get off work to be a self-media blogger, working diligently for more than half a year, but without any progress.
Another colleague casually posted a video while waiting in line for a meal, and it went viral online.
He took on an advertising job to earn money, and after things stabilized, he quit his job and started his own business at home. Anyway, he did quite well later on.
Although it's tiring, people say that doing this is better than going to work.
Xiang Bei was naturally happy for Lin Beibei's good fortune.
As long as she has popularity, she can take on advertising and endorsement deals, and the money for her medical treatment will come from there.
If things had been run any better, she could have witnessed the birth of the first generation of internet celebrities.
If Lin Beibei were willing to show her face, Xiang Bei estimated that she would become famous even faster.
However, it depends on her own choice, and Xiang Bei has no right to interfere. She can only give her some hints at the appropriate time.
As for which path to take, that's up to her.
There was no reply from Assistant Fang. Lin Beibei went to the hospital to see her mother, only to find her mother pale-faced, clutching her stomach, and about to fall to the ground.
"mom!"
The doctor rushed in and gave Zhang Wenfang a painkiller, which calmed her down a bit.
After the doctor left the ward, Zhang Wenfang looked at her daughter and managed a weak smile, "Beibei, you're here."
"Mom, how long have you been like this?" Lin Beibei asked with a worried look as she looked at her mother's pale face.
“It was the first time,” Zhang Wenfang said, her face pale.
Several bouts of pain made Zhang Wenfang realize that her illness was definitely not as simple as her daughter had described.
Each attack was extremely painful, but she had no choice but to grit her teeth and keep it a secret from her daughter.
She never imagined that her daughter would see her in such pain today.
Lin Beibei didn't ask any more questions and gave the food she had brought to her mother.
“Beibei, Mom is really fine, Mom can be discharged from the hospital.”
"The doctor hasn't said anything yet, so don't worry. I can earn money now, so you can stay in the hospital without worry," Lin Beibei reassured her mother.
After leaving the ward, I went to the doctor's office to inquire about my mother's condition.
"Doctor, is it really true that my mother can't undergo conservative treatment anymore?" Lin Beibei asked anxiously.
“This isn’t the first time the patient has experienced this, but each time the pain is more intense than the last. I think it’s best to prepare for surgery as soon as possible.”
"How much will the surgery cost approximately?"
"Around 300,000 yuan. To prevent the condition from worsening, it's best to pay the money and have the surgery as soon as possible," the doctor said with a serious expression.
Lin Beibei was very flustered, but she still thanked the doctor and sat down on a chair not far away when she left the doctor's office.
"Sister Xiang Bei, what should I do?"
Three hundred thousand is not a small amount for her.
Although one million was a lot, Lin Beibei didn't need to take it out all at once. She could always raise the money by handing it over as she earned it.
However, the doctor is now advising the mother to have surgery as soon as possible.
Why don't you try asking for help online?
I made a suggestion to Bei.
She didn't know how to help Lin Beibei, so she could only think of the methods she knew.
In this situation, it would be appropriate to seek help online, but Xiang Bei was worried that Lin Beibei wouldn't agree. Although they hadn't known each other for long, Xiang Bei knew that Lin Beibei was a very kind person who didn't want to trouble others.
Lin Beibei quickly convinced herself and stood up, saying, "It's okay, I'll try harder. I'm sure I can earn the money for Mom's surgery."
Lin Beibei wiped away the tears that were about to fall and tried her best to keep smiling.
She planned to go home first to pack some things for her mother to bring over.
My mother's hospitalization is going to be a long-term affair, and we need to bring a lot of daily necessities over.
She used to tidy up some things each time she came over.
Xiang Bei comforted Lin Beibei the whole way.
Lin Beibei talked with Xiang Bei for a while, and her mood improved.
She always tried to think positively until the worst happened.
Seeing her so optimistic, Xiang Bei felt much more at ease.
When Lin Beibei opened the door, Xiang Bei sensed that something was wrong.
【careful! 】
Lin Beibei was immediately surrounded by people as soon as she saw the comments.
Several people came out of the house, and as she backed away, several more people followed behind her.
Lin Beibei was shocked to see the timid people standing behind her.
"dad?"
The people surrounding her looked like sleazy hooligans.
He doesn't seem like a good person at all.
"Old Lin, is this your daughter? She's so beautiful. You're so lucky."
“She’s not my daughter either. She takes after her biological mother, who is very beautiful. If you take a fancy to her, then can all the money I owe be wiped clean?” Lin Tiande smiled ingratiatingly at the group.
"Then why don't you just sell your wife to us as well?"
"I wish I could, but she's not as pretty as she was when she was young. She's old and thin now, not as pretty as this girl."
Lin Beibei heard what he said in disbelief.
The leader of the group came over and pinched Lin Beibei's cheek. "Little girl, behave yourself. Your dad lost money gambling and mortgaged you to us. If you behave yourself, you'll suffer less."
"You dare! This is illegal and criminal! I'm calling the police!"
Upon hearing Lin Beibei's words, those people were not afraid at all; instead, they laughed.
The man felt as if he had been hit on the head with a stick, and the pain made him dizzy.
【run! 】
Upon seeing the comments, Lin Beibei turned and ran.
The men who blocked her way were about to reach out when they were either hit on the head with a stick or felt a heavy kick to the groin, making them scream in pain.
But there was no one around, and he couldn't even see the person who did the attack. It was all so strange.
"Brother, there's a ghost!"
"Damn it, I refuse to believe this nonsense today! I'm not afraid of dead ghosts, or even living ghosts! You guys, get her! Whatever she is, you have to catch her today!" the leader said.
A few others who hadn't been hit rushed after Lin Beibei.
Xiang Bei was panting heavily. She had just wanted to help Lin Beibei when a stick inexplicably appeared in her hand. Without hesitation, she swung it at those people from a distance.
She guessed right, and she really hit the target.
When it came to the other people, it was a combination of kicking and punching, but each person could only be hit once.
Xiang Bei also took the opportunity to give Lin Tiande a piece of her mind.
After knocking on a few people, it stopped working again. Fortunately, Lin Beibei had already run downstairs.
Hopefully she will run out quickly to ask someone for help.
Xiang Bei watched as the large screen flickered with static again, as if there was a poor signal.
Enraged, she kicked the big screen twice.
"What use are you if you fail at the crucial moment?"
[Loading...]
The electronic voice came again.
The progress bar on the big screen has loaded to fifty percent.
"What exactly are you? Show yourself if you dare!"
Xiang Bei was so angry that she cursed and swore at every swear word she could think of, but the big screen only flickered twice before the image reappeared and then remained unresponsive.
There was a crackling sound, then silence.
When the image reappeared on the big screen, it showed Lin Beibei sitting by the flower bed, lost in thought.
[Beibei, are you alright?]
"Sister Xiang Bei, you're back?"
Lin Beibei laughed when she saw the comments reappear.
He just looked very worried.
I'm sorry, I really don't know what happened, I suddenly couldn't see you anymore. Are you okay? Did they catch you?
Lin Beibei smiled as she looked at the comments, "It's nothing. Thank you for helping me that day. Because of you, I was able to escape."
She was helped to escape by Sister Xiang Bei, and she was very grateful to Sister Xiang Bei.
But when she thought about those things, she really couldn't laugh.
Have you posted online for help? Beibei, there are still many kind people in the world. Explain your mother's situation, and they will help you. You might even encounter experts specializing in her condition. If your mother's illness is truly rare, they might even treat her for free.
Xiang Bei has seen many similar examples.
Lin Beibei does indeed need help now.
Lin Beibei gave a bitter smile, "I posted it, but it was useless. Nobody read it, and some people even called me a liar."
She covered her face and cried, "Sister Xiang Bei, I really have no other way."
All her posts disappeared, and some people said that she was too young to support herself and had to resort to deception. Even her account was banned, citing violations.
Even the coffee shop's account has been reported.
Lin Beibei suddenly felt as if all the bad luck had befallen her.
Xiang Bei was silent for a moment.
[Did I disappear for a few days this time?]
"It's been almost two days, and that happened the day before yesterday."
Lin Beibei knew she couldn't place her hopes on Xiang Bei, but for some reason, she felt a sense of panic whenever Xiang Bei disappeared.
"Sister Xiang Bei, are you going to disappear again?"
I think so.
That's the case, at least for now.
There was no pattern to when she would disappear or how many days she would disappear; she couldn't predict when she would disappear again.
Therefore, there was no way to give Lin Beibei a warning.
Xiang Bei then asked Lin Beibei how she escaped that day.
"Gu Tingyun appeared and saved me; his bodyguards scared those people away."
How did he happen to show up at that exact moment?
Xiang Bei was starting to have conspiracy theories; she suspected those people were connected to Gu Tingyun.
Perhaps because someone was listening to her, Lin Beibei talked a lot.
"Actually, I'm quite afraid of him. I don't know why, but every time I see him, I have a feeling that I'm being watched, a very dangerous feeling."
Xiang Bei had no way of knowing what was going on with Gu Tingyun, and could only worry anxiously.
She offered Lin Beibei a few words of comfort, but it didn't feel quite enough.
If only I could be by her side, then Lin Beibei wouldn't only be able to see those cold, impersonal words.
As I was thinking this, the big screen suddenly lit up and even shook.
Then things returned to calm.
Every time this strange spot flares up, Xiang Bei kicks it twice without hesitation.
After this kick, the big screen went black again.
The screen displays "Loading".
The progress bar below has loaded to 70% on its own.
No, it's 71%.
The progress bar is still moving.
Xiang Bei kicked it twice more, but it still stopped moving.
After waiting for a while, the progress bar finally loaded to 99%.
"You bastard, I'd like to see what you can actually load."
When the green progress bar reached 100%, it paused briefly and then turned red.
"Wow, that's so sneaky."
Fortunately, the red progress bar loaded very quickly, and it was completed in an instant.
Then, just like a computer turning on, it emitted cheerful music.
Xiang Bei held the screen in her arms, wanting to see what would pop up on the big screen. It was choppy and laggy, like a computer about to crash.
Just as she was waiting, the electronic voice rang out again.
[System No. 9639 has finished loading]
Immediately afterward, Xiang Bei heard a sharp explosion.
[Oh my god! Oh my god! What's going on? Who are you? How did you get into my space?]
