At 10 p.m. that night, Li Yuebai arrived at the Honggang Hotel on time.
He drove here alone, parked his car at the seaside opposite Honggang Hotel, and without even turning off the engine, he took out his cell phone and called Lin Xie.
"Are we there yet?" Lin Xie's voice was steady, even with a hint of concern, as if he was not a threat but a responsible boyfriend.
"We're here." There was no heaviness in Li Yuebai's voice, but rather a sense of relief.
"I'll pick you up?" Lin Xie's heart sank again when he heard the strange tone in his voice.
"No need." Li Yuebai smiled: "I just came here for a stroll. I'm afraid I will miss the meeting with you."
"..." Lin Xie couldn't figure out what he was playing for a moment, and frowned: "What did you say!"
"Read the news." Li Yuebai said.
At the same time, the TV in the hotel, the big screen on the skyscraper outside, and the mobile phones of passers-by were all flooded with the same news.
——Famous movie star Wang Wanzhi was involved in a drug scandal and is currently under police control.
The detailed news was even more lengthy, saying that since Wang Wanzhi was a first-time drug user and was not involved in drug possession or trafficking, he was only sentenced to 10 days of criminal detention and would be transferred to a drug rehabilitation center for thorough rehabilitation treatment after 10 days...
For a moment, the audience gasped in amazement, or cursed in anger.
Lin Xie tried hard to suppress the urge to smash the screen.
"Wang Hanzhi, you're crazy!" Lin Xie gritted his teeth and yelled into the microphone of his mobile phone: "Are you sick? You..."
He never expected that Wang Hanzhi would call the police without blinking an eye.
This is impossible, it is totally out of character for him.
"Is there any problem?" Li Yuebai asked coldly.
"You..." Lin Xie didn't know what to yell for a moment: "You actually...sent your relatives to prison with your own hands? You are simply..."
"I have no other choice." Li Yuebai said.
In the morning, after he hung up the phone with Lin Xie, he began to deal with Wang Wanzhi's affairs with all his strength.
If Wang Wanzhi is left alone and keeps covering up the situation, it will only get worse and worse, and he will become more and more depraved and eventually out of control. He has a certain amount of financial and human resources, but still does not have enough experience to handle drug rehabilitation. After considering many aspects, the best way to deal with it is to make a decisive decision, cut off the old disease with one stroke, expose all the problems, and solve them thoroughly.
"Actually, I have to thank Master Lin for this." Li Yuebai said, "Brother didn't tell me where he was, and the photo you sent me...just happened to expose his hiding place. If I tell this, I'm afraid Master Lin will get a few good citizen medals."
It was precisely because of the exact address and photo evidence that the police were able to quickly handle the case and find Wang Wanzhi. Otherwise, they would not have taken the case at all.
"Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to make it in the future?" Lin Xie still couldn't believe it.
"Whether I'm afraid or not is my business." Li Yuebai said calmly.
He placed his slender fingers on the smooth panel of the tablet and pressed the send button.
It was a newly written letter of apology, posted on a social media platform under the name of Wang Wanzhi.
After delivering the message, Li Yuebai stepped on the accelerator and drove back to the busy road.
If you say you're going out for a ride, then you're going out for a ride, there's nothing wrong with that.
While taking a ride, Li Yuebai received a call from Lu Ming.
Lu Ming had just followed his orders to visit Wang Wanzhi in the temporary detention center, and now he reported back that everything was normal and there was no need to worry.
"It's just..." Lu Ming said worriedly, "Teacher, you'd better not go home for the time being. I checked the surveillance cameras at home... The door is full of media outlets."
Li Yuebai revealed the news on the way after he drove out. The media who got the news naturally rushed to his door as soon as possible, trying to get an interview opportunity as soon as possible, but of course they came up empty-handed.
"Okay, I know. You should protect yourself too." Li Yuebai gave a few instructions and hung up the phone.
He is not afraid of facing the media, but now is not the time.
"Host, you are not planning to go out for a ride for the rest of your life, are you?" The system kindly reminded: "That is impossible."
"...How is that possible!" Li Yuebai said helplessly: "I'm waiting for the next plot point."
"The next plot point..." the system checked and said, "However, since you changed the previous plot, the following plot has also changed accordingly, making it a little difficult to predict. In addition, x text originally has no plot."
In the original text, Wang Hanzhi had already been teased by Lin Xie at this time.
"System, help me check what Lin Xie is doing now."
In order to guess what will happen next, of course we must first understand Lin Xie's movements.
The system checked for a second and then fell silent.
"..." The system said: "He is in the bathroom."
"What are you doing in the bathroom?"
"..." The system said: "Host, do you really want me to say it out loud?"
"..." Li Yuebai held back for a long time before he burst out laughing.
It's so interesting to think about the protagonist in the original work, who is like a dragon who can do anything, gritting his teeth to relieve himself.
"Wait, host!" The system suddenly issued an alarm: "Alert, alert, several cars are following you!"
"How far is it?"
"They are coming from different directions. Now several cars are only two intersections away from you."
Li Yuebai frowned, stepped on the accelerator instantly, kept driving fast without exceeding the speed limit, turned into a side road, and rushed out of the encirclement.
The system dutifully reports the movements of the tracker.
The trackers seemed to have opened their third eye and could follow Li Yuebai's movements at any time. No matter how Li Yuebai changed direction, they could follow closely.
Indeed, as long as you are in this city, you can't easily get rid of Lin Xie's tracking.
Lin Xie could easily find out his license plate number and car's appearance, and send people to lock on the target in minutes.
Even if Lin Xie himself was doing something in the bathroom, he could send his men out to surround him at any time.
"System, help me quickly." Li Yuebai hurriedly asked for help.
"Help you race?" the system asked.
This is an adult story, not a Hollywood blockbuster, and car chase scenes are rare.
"No, safety comes first. I don't want to get into a car accident." Li Yuebai said, "Help me find a crowded place."
"Within a 3-kilometer radius of you, the most crowded place is Garden Square." The system replied: "Take the fourth intersection ahead and turn right to arrive."
"OK."
Li Yuebai looked straight ahead, holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands, and at the same time woke up the smart assistant on his mobile phone with voice.
"Post a status on social media saying I'll be at the main entrance of Garden Square soon, driving a silver Crown with license plate number xxxx," Li Yuebai said.
The phone dutifully carried out the order.
From the rearview mirror, I could see that the cars chasing me were getting closer and closer.
Li Yuebai was secretly anxious.
Fortunately, Garden Square is just around the corner.
Garden Square is a very open area where various activities are often held. From a distance, you can see crowds of people everywhere.
Approaching Garden Square, Li Yuebai had to slow down the car.
There are pedestrians everywhere, so you must not bump into them.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the followers got closer and closer.
After Li Yuebai stopped his car, the cars of the followers also stopped.
There were even a few men in black who had gotten out of the car and were walking towards Li Yuebai step by step.
Li Yuebai turned off the engine, took out the key, lay back on the car seat and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Host, please escape quickly." The system said, "The pursuer will be here soon."
"Don't worry." Li Yuebai smiled and said, "Someone is running faster than the pursuer."
Before the pursuers could get close, they were dispersed by the swarming crowd.
Reporters, self-media, netizens, onlookers... countless cameras, microphones, and various smart phones were stretched out, surrounding Li Yuebai's car, and some of them were even scrambling to hit the car windows.
Li Yuebai opened the car door expressionlessly and took pictures of several microphones.
"Hello, Attorney Wang. There are rumors that you are the culprit that caused the famous movie star Wang Wanzhi to take drugs. Is this true?"
"It is rumored that there is a conflict between Wang Wanzhi and you over inheritance. What do you think?"
"I heard that you also used drugs. Is that true?"
"What exactly is the reason why Wang Wanzhi takes drugs?"
…
"Everyone, please be patient." Li Yuebai raised his hand and said, "I will answer your questions one by one."
…
As a result, Li Yuebai patiently answered all the questions, and in the end he was very nice enough to go back and do a TV program with a major TV station.
No matter how arrogant the tracker was, he didn't dare to arrest people in public in front of the whole world. He observed for a while outside the huge encirclement and found that there was no chance to take action, so he had to leave for the time being.
After being bombarded by the media for a while, Li Yuebai finally found some time to rest and took a nap in the lounge backstage of the studio.
"Host, you are not planning to rely on the media's protection to survive, are you?" The system said helplessly: "This won't work."
"Not really." Li Yuebai rubbed his temples.
Of course he would not forget that his mission this time was to make Lin Xie fall in love with him.
Temporarily avoiding the media spotlight is a stopgap measure, not a fundamental solution.
During the break, he read through all the information about Lin Xie carefully from beginning to end.
Both the original text and the data provided by the system show that before meeting Wang Hanzhi, Lin Xie did not have any special fetishes, nor did he have any sadistic tendencies. He was not the battle-hardened type that everyone imagined.
Is there any hidden meaning behind this plot arrangement?
"From what I've seen, it seems that the only person Lin Xie has been eyeing is Wang Han." Li Yuebai said with a wry smile, "Why is that? Is there some special quality in Wang Han that makes him crazy and obsessed with her after just one look?"
"Host, I have to tell you that there are some potential plots that the original author did not write." The system said: "The author's focus is always on the "flesh" that everyone talks about. As for some deeper secrets, they have not been fully revealed."
"As a system, don't you know everything?" Li Yuebai asked.
"I should have known all of them, but if that were the case, this would be too easy." The system replied: "Therefore, the Lord God has shielded some secrets from me and asked you to explore them yourself."
Having said that, Li Yuebai also understood.
What he wanted to find out was the reason behind Lin Xie's twisted feelings towards Wang Hanzhi.
Love and hate have the same source. Once the source is found, it is possible to transform this persistent hatred into love.
