After Selling the Little Angel Persona, I Became Famous Across the Internet (2)

    Bai Luo was completely stunned when the police invited him to the Supervisory Bureau for questioning. The previous events had clearly unfolded exactly as he had anticipated.

    Jiang Li’s reputation was ruined, and Bai Luo had repeatedly indulged Bai Yinzhu in provoking and guiding netizens to cyberbully and abuse Jiang Li, causing Jiang Li’s emotional state to become depressed and showing tendencies toward depression.

    At this moment, Jiang Li should either accept psychological treatment to prevent a hormonal threshold explosion that would turn him into a public commodity, or he would have a mental breakdown and come looking for Bai Luo to settle the score.

    If things had developed according to that plan, Bai Luo could have even used the opportunity to create favorable public opinion for himself and completely drive Jiang Li insane.

    But why was he the one who crashed first?

    Inside the Qin family villa, Qin Zhao ultimately couldn’t bear to leave Jiang Li alone at home. He had just stepped out the yard gate when he immediately returned to the villa.

    Jiang Li was still wrapped in the jacket Qin Zhao frequently wore, curled up on the sofa in a daze. Even though Da Ju kept trying to charm him, he didn’t react at all.

    Da Ju was a cat Jiang Li had picked up a few years ago when he went to the riverside to clear his head after losing a match, which prevented his team from entering the national top four.

    Qin Zhao remembered it was a very cold, rainy day. Jiang Li, soaking wet, pulled out a tiny orange kitten that had only been weaned for a few days.

    The orange cat’s left eye was nearly blind from a bacterial infection. When they took it to the pet hospital, the vet held no hope for the kitten. It was Jiang Li who couldn’t bear it, staying by its side and caring for it for several nights until it was finally out of danger.

    Since then, the little orange cat had become one of Jiang Li’s few friends, and the cat was incredibly clingy to him.

    But now, he didn’t even want to acknowledge the little creature who understood him best. Jiang Li’s mental state was truly poor.

    Da Ju saw that charming Jiang Li wasn’t working, but being intelligent, it was also worried that its owner might do something foolish when it wasn’t paying attention. So, it quietly leaned against him, keeping him company without making a fuss.

    It licked its paws and flicked its tail occasionally.

    (This cat is so spiritual)

    (Jiang Li is in this state, why isn’t he seeing a doctor?)

    (Maybe President Qin has already taken him? Dual-sex individuals are more sensitive than ordinary men and women, and they are a vulnerable group prone to psychological illnesses. Blame will only worsen the condition)

    (If my wife were in this state, I wouldn’t go to work. Work isn’t as important as my wife)

    (But President Qin manages so many companies, can he handle it all?)

    (What can he do if he can’t handle it? If he doesn’t cherish his wife, she’ll be gone. What good is all that money then?)

    “Still unhappy?”

    Qin Zhao sat down beside him. Only then did Jiang Li stop his chaotic thoughts and burrow into his arms: “I want to go online.”

    It wasn’t that Qin Zhao didn’t want Jiang Li to access the internet—he had even disconnected the network in the villa, leaving only basic communication devices—but the current online environment would only exacerbate Jiang Li’s condition if he were exposed to it.

    “How about we go to the amusement park since the weather is nice today? Seeing some flowers outside might lift your spirits.”

    Jiang Li rarely refused, and Qin Zhao felt a sense of relief. He helped him change into suitable clothes and put on his shoes. Fortunately, the company meeting had been postponed to an online session in the evening.

    This gave him a little more time to properly accompany Jiang Li.

    Perhaps Qin Zhao’s companionship over the past few days had been effective, as Jiang Li was noticeably happier today and even pestered him to buy cotton candy.

    But just as Qin Zhao went to buy a stick of cotton candy, Jiang Li vanished completely. Even with so many production staff hidden in the amusement park, so many cameras, and surveillance, such a large person disappeared without a trace.

    Qin Zhao was frantic and immediately called the police.

    However, Jiang Li had been missing for less than an hour, so the Supervisory Bureau couldn’t file a case and dispatch officers to search. The program’s live broadcast was still running, but Qin Zhao didn’t have time to worry about it. What was more important than finding Jiang Li?

    (Holy cow, this Jiang Li is incredible. Such a big person just disappears. How did he do it with so many cameras?)

    (Doesn’t he know the show is still recording?)

    (To vanish into thin air right under so many eyes without leaving a single clue—this must have been planned beforehand)

    (How is that possible? President Qin and the entire production team never told him about the live broadcast. Wasn’t he forcibly cut off from the internet by Qin Zhao during this time? Given Jiang Li’s social status, who would dare tip him off? That’s like going against the entire Qin family)

    (Qin Zhao says: My big wife disappeared just like that. Doesn’t a dignified CEO like me deserve some respect!)

    (Hahaha, I love watching these big shots being tricked and running around in a flustered, awkward mess)

    After escaping everyone’s sight, Jiang Li arrived at an abandoned haunted house not far from the amusement park. Zhang Yichen was already waiting there and tossed him a phone: “I’ve caught the person for you. Given the Qin family’s influence, they’ll find your whereabouts in an hour at the latest. You’d better finish this quickly.”

    Jiang Li used the phone Zhang Yichen gave him to log into his private dark web account and promptly transferred a huge sum of ten million yuan to Zhang Yichen’s account.

    After returning the phone to Zhang Yichen, he asked Zhang Yichen for a military knife. He pulled back the black hood covering Bai Luo’s eyes and pressed the knife against Bai Luo’s carotid artery: “If I slice here, I can send you to your next reincarnation. Do you believe me?”

    Bai Luo shook his head desperately, tears streaming down his face in terror. Unfortunately, his mouth was sealed shut with strong adhesive tape, preventing him from making a sound.

    Half an hour ago, he was in the Supervisory Bureau’s interrogation room being investigated. He had finally found an excuse to go to the bathroom and tried to escape, only to be caught and brought to this dreadful place.

    What was even more unexpected was that Jiang Li was here too.

    Jiang Li in this life was exactly the same as in the previous one; his viciousness toward Bai Luo remained. This time, he even kicked Bai Luo directly in the mouth, brutally breaking his front teeth.

    “Is having rabbit teeth so great?”

    After kicking out his teeth, he kicked him again in the crotch: “Were you happy about teaming up with Gu Chengyuan to send me to that hellhole?”

    Then he delivered several kicks and stomps to his stomach: “Come on, weren’t you going to take revenge on me for stealing Gu Chengyuan’s heart and causing your miserable life in the previous world?”

    “With that pig brain of yours, if you can be tricked by me once, there will be a second time. You don’t understand such a simple principle. What was the point of Heaven giving you rebirth?”

    “I advise you to be more practical. Heaven letting you start over wasn’t so you could come here and disrupt my peaceful life and cause me unhappiness. It was so you could avoid me, and the farther away the better. Otherwise, if I get unhappy, I might just take your dog life. Understand, idiot?”

    Jiang Li beat the person until he was barely breathing. Zhang Yichen, who was keeping watch, saw that time was running out and reminded him: “Don’t kill him, or if the Supervisory Bureau investigates, both of us will be in trouble.”

    But Bai Luo, beaten into this state, was practically dead anyway.

    After stopping the kicks, Jiang Li still stepped on Bai Luo’s face. It wasn’t physically damaging, but the humiliation was immense: “Go back and cultivate for a few hundred years before trying to fight me again. By then, even a pig will have gained sentience, and you should have grown a brain!”

    With that, Jiang Li finally withdrew his foot: “I will arrange for someone to help with your sister’s illness. Don’t let Qin Zhao know about this. The less trouble, the better.”

    Zhang Yichen naturally understood this, but Jiang Li’s public disappearance during the live broadcast was clearly an even more irrational action.

    He didn’t know what the point was of going through so much effort to hide things from Qin Zhao, but Jiang Li was his true boss, and his life and future were in Jiang Li’s hands. As a mere errand boy, how could he dare criticize his boss?

    He could only agree and comply with what his boss said to have a chance at survival: “Understood, Boss.”

    “Based on the police’s current search route, they will reach this vicinity in about ten minutes. If you don’t want President Qin to be suspicious, I suggest you leave the scene within five minutes.”

    Jiang Li knew this. He took one last look at the bruised and battered Bai Luo on the ground and asked Zhang Yichen: “You wouldn’t fall for this guy and suddenly betray me, would you?”

    Zhang Yichen smiled: “What are you saying, Boss? My brain hasn’t been slammed in a door. I would never joke around with my own life. Rest assured. Besides, isn’t my sister’s life still in your hands? If I don’t listen to you, who will I listen to?”

    “That’s true,” Zhang Yichen’s flattery clearly pleased Jiang Li, but Jiang Li suddenly turned back after taking only three steps: “By my count, Lin Qingyu’s due date is in two months. I wonder, Assistant Manager Zhang, do you hope for the father and son to be safe, or for them to accompany each other on the road to the Yellow Springs? My patience is limited. I think you should know what should be done and what shouldn’t.”

    Zhang Yichen was practically grinding his teeth. He knew Jiang Li was sensitive and suspicious, but he hadn’t anticipated that Jiang Li’s methods would be more ruthless than he imagined.

    Watching Jiang Li’s receding figure disappear, the sympathy he felt for Bai Luo’s plight transformed into actual hatred, which he displaced onto Bai Luo himself. When he threw the person back at the Supervisory Bureau, he showed no mercy.

    After just a trip to the bathroom, the Supervisory Bureau staff returned to find Bai Luo lying naked and spread-eagled at the entrance of the municipal office.

    Passersby couldn’t help but point and whisper about him.

    “Who is that? Flashing people in broad daylight right outside the Supervisory Bureau?”

    “And he’s a dual-sex person?”

    “Oh my god, isn’t that Bai Luo, the one who became famous by sucking the blood of his long-lost brother? He was selling that innocent little angel persona. It hasn’t even been a few days. He was arrested this morning for illegally soliciting funds from minors. The fraud case hasn’t even been fully investigated, and now he’s stripping and flashing people at the municipal office entrance.”

    “How shameless! Hurry, let’s go, watching this will give us eye sores.”

    “The morals of the world are truly declining!”

    The entrance of the municipal office was right next to a bustling commercial pedestrian street, and many passersby saw Bai Luo lying naked on the ground with his limbs spread wide.

    Many busybodies took photos and videos and posted them online, causing a huge sensation.

    At the amusement park, Qin Zhao, frantic, had turned the entire park upside down and finally found Jiang Li. He was so angry he was furious.

    Without realizing it, the grip on Jiang Li’s arm tightened: “Where did you go?”

    “You know your hormone threshold is near the critical point, yet you run around recklessly? Do you think there are many good people in this society?”

    Jiang Li winced in pain, his brow furrowed, wanting Qin Zhao to let go. But Qin Zhao, in a fit of rage, didn’t give him a chance and launched into a fierce lecture.

    (Tsk tsk tsk, Little God Jiang really knows how to court death. Look how anxious President Qin is)

    (Sometimes when I go out and come home late, my dad has that same expression. He scolds me, then feels bad.)

    (I think I understand the charm of a ‘Dad-type’ husband now)

    (So, all you ladies and dual-sex compatriots, do you see? You should set high standards for your partners. Look how discerning Jiang Li is. The partner he found is handsome and responsible, not just in words, but he actually acts that way)

    (Exactly! Why idolize Gu Yunting or look for some ugly man?)

    (Why do you girls and dual-sex people have to compromise yourselves and look for those poor, chauvinistic stinky men?)

    (The state allocates so much funding every year to improve our education, allowing us to study, all to cultivate our ability to be independent. The new inhibitor developed in March last year has been officially distributed to the general public for free. You can get it at your local neighborhood committee)

    (There are no side effects. We dual-sex people and female friends can have our own jobs just like ordinary men. The laws regarding forced marriage are constantly being revised. Good days are coming, so please don’t compromise yourselves, okay?)
