Chapter 191: Do Me One More Favor
In this day and age, if there was anything scariest, Lin Bai felt that doxxing and searching for a human on the Internet would definitely be number one.
When a person’s identity and life experiences were dug up and posted on the Internet, all kinds of attacks and damage would follow.
There would also be endless trouble.
No one could be flawless and without a single .
Even if there really wasn’t one, it could be forcefully created.
Not to mention other things, Just Lin Bai’s wealth alone was enough to make those people who hated the rich hate him to death.
Lin Bai really regretted giving away the lottery ticket so easily.
He had indeed failed to think this matter through. The main reason was that he really didn’t expect that the driver would be so persistent. He searched the entire internet for him and chased after him to split the money with him.
The speed at which news spread on the internet was too fast. With the current situation, it was impossible for Lin Bai to stop it with his own strength.
Only with the help of the authorities could he suppress the hot searches.
Lin Bai could only brace himself and call Chief Feng again.
The call went through very quickly. As soon as Chief Feng picked up the phone, he said quickly, “Mr. Lin, don’t worry. I have already informed my subordinates.”
Lin Bai said, “It’s not about that. I have something else to trouble you with.”
“Oh, oh, so there’s something something else. Please tell me.”
Chief Feng’s attitude was still very easy-going, without the slightest hint of impatience.
So Lin Bai simply told him about the matter.
“At that time, I just gave it away casually. I didn’t think too much about it, and I didn’t expect it to end up like this.”
“Now that the video has been shared everywhere on the Internet, I guess someone will recognize me soon.
“I don’t want my life to be disturbed. Director Feng, do you know anyone from the relevant departments? Can you help me delete all the relevant news?”
After Chief Feng heard it, he didn’t say anything for a long time before he finally digested all the information.
He really didn’t expect that the person that the driver was looking for in the sensational news was actually Lin Bai.
It wasn’t strange for him to casually buy a lottery ticket for fun when he was bored.
After he bought it, he could just give it to someone.
However, the lottery ticket that he gave to someone just happened to win a grand prize of five million yuan. This was really shocking.
What kind of luck and what kind of coincidence was this!
Chief Feng’s silence made Lin Bai feel a little uneasy.
He said tentatively, “If it’s inconvenient, then forget it. I’ll think of another solution.”
Lin Bai did not understand the other platforms. At the very least, he could spend money to withdraw the news topic from the hot searches on Weibo and TikTok.
As for the specific operation, Lin Bai had never tried it before, so he really did not know. He reckoned that it would take some time to figure it out.
Lin Bai had already calculated in his heart how much it would cost to suppress all the trending searches on all the platforms.
In the end, Chief Feng said, “There’s nothing inconvenient about it. I just didn’t expect such a coincidence.”
“Don’t worry, I can still talk to the Internet Surveillance Bureau. It’ll only take two hours at most. I guarantee that all the trending searches will be removed completely.”
Hearing Chief Feng’s words, Lin Bai immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
“That’s great. Thank you very much, Chief Feng.”
“It’s just a small matter. It’s nothing much. Mr. Lin, you don’t have to be so polite.”
Despite saying that, Chief Feng was elated.
He was not afraid that Lin Bai would trouble him. Instead, he hoped that Lin Bai would ask him to do as many things as possible.
Because the more things he did for Lin Bai, the closer his relationship with Lin Bai would be.
Besides, Lin Bai was somehow acquainted with Old Master Ye Weijun. By getting closer to Lin Bai, it was equivalent to getting closer to the Ye family that supported Lin Bai.
This was the real reason why he took the initiative to express goodwill to Lin Bai and was willing to work for Lin Bai time and time again.
Lin Bai said a few more pleasantries before hanging up the phone and driving back to school in peace.
He thought that since Chief Feng had already given him his promise, he didn’t need to worry anymore.
The trending searches would definitely be removed, and all related reports and posts would probably be removed.
Although it was impossible not to leave a trace, at least it could reduce the impact to the minimum.
In addition to Lin Bai’s good luck, he shouldn’t be discovered by his family, right?
Lin Bai thought so, but unfortunately, he received a call from his mother halfway.
When he saw the caller ID, Lin Bai’s heart sank.
His mother rarely called him during the day because she didn’t know when he had classes and was afraid that it would delay his studies, so she usually called him at night.
If she called him now, it was probably because she had seen the news.
“It seems that good luck is not omnipotent. What should come will come. There’s no way to avoid it.”
Lin Bai sighed, parked the car by the roadside, and picked up his mother’s call.
“Lin Bai, did you know that the lottery ticket you gave out won the lottery? That driver you gave the ticket to is looking for you all over the world right now. Hurry up and contact him!”
Without any questions, Lin Bai’s mother directly confirmed that the person in the video was definitely Lin Bai.
After all, he was her own son, whom she had painstakingly raised for more than twenty years. It was impossible for her not to recognize him.
Before receiving this call, Lin Bai had always thought that he must not let his family know about this matter.
But now, his mother’s tone was so certain. He felt that even if he denied it, his mother would not believe it.
Instead, it would arouse even more suspicion.
After a short moment of hesitation, Lin Bai changed his mind.
He tried hard to pretend to be excited and said, “Yes, yes, I know! I saw the news!”
“Haha, I didn’t expect to win the lottery either. I’m preparing to contact that uncle now!”
“If I can really get the money, I’ll transfer it all to you!”
“Didn’t you talk to my dad about wanting to move into another house a few days ago? Don’t hesitate, just move, hahaha!”
The house that Lin Bai’s family was living in now was very far from his mother’s workplace. His mother had to spend nearly two hours on commuting to work every day.
Hence, his mother had always wanted to move to a place closer to the company she worked for.
However, the land there was too expensive. If they sold the current house, they would need to spend a large sum of money to buy a similar amount of land, so they had never moved.
Lin Bai actually felt sorry for his mother, who worked so hard to commute to work every day. He had long wanted to use money to help his family move to another place, but unfortunately, there was never a suitable reason.
Now, taking advantage of the situation and using the pretext of winning the lottery to give money to his family to let them move to another house was a good choice.
Although it was not quite what Lin Bai had expected, it was not too bad now.
Unexpectedly, his mother said, “No, no, you can keep it for yourself. Didn’t you say that you want to start a business? You can use it as the start-up capital..”
