Chapter 194: An Unknown Scene
Luo Yang hurriedly nodded. “Yes, yes, yes. Boss, you talk first. We’re not in a hurry.”
Zhu Kai also echoed, “Yes, yes. We just want to experience the feeling of sitting in a luxury car. We’re not in a hurry.”
Lin Bai said, “Then I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. I didn’t buy a luxury car. It’s very ordinary. Then we want to sit in it too! Alright, then you two wait a moment.”
Lin Bai first opened Weibo to take a look and found that the trending search had been removed. He thought to himself that Chief Feng’s efficiency was indeed high since he could suppress the searches so quickly.
Immediately after that, he tried to search for related terms on other major platforms, but basically, he couldn’t find anything.
The relevant videos were all removed and couldn’t be seen.
Although it couldn’t be said that the popularity was 100% suppressed, the remaining bits and pieces of words had no effect.
Moreover, Lin Bai believed that after a period of time, even these remaining traces would be completely erased.
The Internet had no memory. The attention of the netizens would soon be attracted by other news.
At that time, no one would remember this.
Lin Bai sent a message to Chief Feng to express his gratitude.
Then, he transferred three million yuan from his bank card to his mother.
He also told a white lie.
“Mom, I’ve got the money. That uncle said that since I was the one who bought the lottery ticket, so he insisted on giving me more.”
“Now you can relax and change houses. You can buy whatever you like. You don’t have to worry about not having enough money.”
His mother replied almost instantly.
“That’s great! But don’t give us all this money. Your father and I don’t need that much.”
“I’ll transfer half of it back to you. You can use it as the start-up capital!”
Lin Bai quickly said, “No need, no need. You guys just keep it.”
“Don’t worry about starting a business. I’ll do it bit by bit. I’ll start from a small capital investment and slowly accumulate experience.”
“If you invest so much money at once, it won’t be worth it if you lose everything. You might as well use it to buy a house. At the very least, you can preserve the value.”
This reason finally moved his mother.
“That’s true. Then your father and I will discuss the matter of moving later. I’ll save the rest of the money for you. If you need it, feel free to tell us.”
Lin Bai replied, “Okay.”
Then, he exited the chat box and took a look. He realized that Ling Xuewei had not replied to him yet.
In the past, although Ling Xuewei had not been able to reply in time, she had never delayed it for so long.
“How long has it been? Why isn’t she back yet? What is this woman busy with?”
Lin Bai was mumbling in his heart, and a faint sense of uneasiness welled up in his heart.
When he looked up again, he met two pairs of eyes that were filled with anticipation.
Thus, Lin Bai instantly dismissed the idea of calling Ling Xuewei.
“Forget it, she probably hasn’t seen it yet. She’ll probably return once she sees it.”
Lin Bai comforted himself before putting away his phone and saying to Luo Yang and Zhu Kai, “Alright, let’s go.”
The phone was put into his shirt pocket, and he touched something soft.
Lin Bai suddenly remembered that the black rag doll that he had confiscated from accountant Li was still in his pocket.
This thing was very evil. Lin Bai’s intuition told him that something bad would happen if he carried it out, so he casually stuffed it under his pillow.
When Luo Yang saw it, his gossipy soul was immediately ignited.
“What game is this? A rag doll?”
Lin Bai nodded and assented. Thinking about it, he was afraid that when he was not in the dormitory, he would be fooling around with Zhu Kai.
Lin Bai was not afraid of being pestered by that thing. However, if Luo Yang and Zhu Kai were pestered by that thing, or even bewitched into becoming the servants of that oracle, then things would not be good.
Hence, Lin Bai specially emphasized another sentence, “This doll is very important to me. Don’t touch it.”
Luo Yang and Zhu Kai instantly revealed an expression of “I understand.”.
“It’s a gift from your girlfriend, right? Is it part of a matching pair of dolls?”
“Haha, don’t worry, don’t worry. We definitely won’t touch it.”
Lin Bai smiled and did not explain further. In any case, as long as the two of them promised not to touch it, it would be fine.
As for whether there was a misunderstanding or not, it was not important.
It was unlikely that they would be so bored that they would specially run to Yu Jinmo to bring up the matter of this doll.
“Let’s go for a ride.”
Before Lin Bai could finish his sentence, Luo Yang and Zhu Kai had already rushed out cheering. They could not wait.
After the three of them left, the dormitory was silent.
A moment later, a wisp of black gas suddenly floated out from under Lin Bai’s pillow.
The black smoke seemed to have a life of its own. It circled around Lin Bai’s bed and then began to circle around the dormitory.
It was as if it was inspecting its ‘new territory’.
Wherever it brushed past, there was a layer of darkness that could not be seen by the naked eye.
However, in a few seconds, a white light suddenly erupted from Lin Bai’s locker.
After the white light, everything returned to silence.
The black gas and invisible aura all disappeared completely.
The white light also disappeared together as if nothing had happened.
If Luo Yang could see the scene just now, he would be surprised to find that the white light that burst out just now was exactly the same as the white light that he saw a few days ago.
If there was a difference, it would be that the white light on the night of the full moon was gentler and had existed for a longer period of time.
The white light that had erupted just now had only existed for an extremely short period of time, and it seemed to carry some sort of biting cold killing intent.
However, the two white lights were essentially the same.
It was a pity that no one had seen what had just happened.
It had become a secret forever, and perhaps no one would ever know about it.
…
At this moment, Lin Bai had just brought Luo Yang and Zhu Kai to the parking lot.
Before getting into the car, he received a call from Chief Feng.
Lin Bai glanced at the screen and said to Luo Yang and Zhu Kai, “You two wait for me in the car first. I need to take this call.”
Then, he walked further away before picking up the phone.
Chief Feng went straight to the point and asked, “Mr. Lin, where were you at 5:25 p.m. the day before yesterday?”
Lin Bai was stunned by the question. Then, he recalled that it was the day before yesterday when he had a premonition that something might happen to Ling Xuewei and went to the underground garage to save her.
He did not hide anything and answered honestly, “If I remember correctly, I should have been in the underground garage of Soaring Phoenix real estate at that time.”
“It could also be that I had just driven away not long ago. At that time, I did not pay attention to the time, so I do not remember it very clearly.”
Chief Feng asked again, “At about 5:15, you had a physical conflict with Wang Hao, the former assistant of the CEO of Soaring Phoenix Real Estate, right?”
Lin Bai replied, “You could say that. But at that time, it was mainly because he tried to attack Ling Xuewei that I stopped him from having a physical altercation..”
