[Wo Cao, is it a real gun?]
[Of course it's a real gun; didn't you see it shattered the glass?]
[So that means our Baby Xi is being held hostage?]
[Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and tell your uncle!]
[While people upstairs are still commenting online, I've already dialed the number!]
The news that Super Saiyan Great Ming Bai Yunxi was kidnapped, and even kidnapped live on camera, quickly became a trending topic.
This traffic-driving effort immediately brought a large influx of viewers to Bai Yunxi's live stream.
In the blink of an eye, the number of viewers reached over a million.
However, the live stream chat was suddenly cleared; the platform administrators Sealing all accounts from speaking in the live stream.
Upon receiving the report, the Dafeng City Inspection Bureau immediately launched an operation.
A large number of uncles flooded into the live stream room.
After contacting the platform, I gained the right to speak.
However, Ling Yi didn't look at the live stream comments right now, because they were too difficult to read.
So Ling Yi didn't see his uncles' remarks at all.
Even if he saw it, he wouldn't care.
"You think being cheated on, betrayed by your brother, and having your orders stolen by my good boss is bad luck? No, it's not."
"Just yesterday, the hospital sent me a critical condition notice."
Ling Yi opened his phone and showed the text messages to Bai Yunxi and the viewers in the live stream.
The above is a text message sent to Ling Yi by the Dafeng City First Hospital.
This is indeed a critical condition notice, roughly meaning: brain cancer, severely metastasized, and there's no hope.
If you're lucky, you might live for three to five days; if you're unlucky, you could die at any moment.
"Is this true?" Bai Yunxi asked in shock.
She had always thought Ling Yi was just talking nonsense, since Ling Yi looked perfectly normal and didn't seem like a patient at all.
"Just tell me, am I unlucky or not!"
Is brain cancer real? Yes, it is.
When Ling Yi learned of this news, he went to the hospital to confirm it in person.
After all, he had always been perfectly healthy, and suddenly he was diagnosed with brain cancer, the incurable kind. It's hard for anyone to believe.
What if the hospital makes a wrong diagnosis, or what if they get the wrong medical records?
Isn't that how it's always portrayed in movies?
However, reality is not a movie; the hospital did not make a diagnosis wrong, nor did it pick up the wrong medical record.
Ling Yi really does have brain cancer, and he's dying.
If he hadn't been unexpectedly trapped on the same day and hadn't been able to restart indefinitely, he probably would have died long ago.
So the problem now is that if he wants to break the infinite reboot loop, he will die from brain cancer.
If the infinite restart isn't broken, he will be trapped on June 7th, Infinite Reincarnation.
At first, Ling Yi felt quite Luck. Perhaps it was a blessing from heaven that gave him endless opportunities to restart.
But with each restart, Ling Yi grew increasingly irritable.
No matter what Ling Yi does, everything will return to normal after the reboot.
Every morning when I wake up, all I see is the woman who betrayed me combing her hair.
Less than twenty minutes after he left home, Miao Yun would carry him on her back and go with Guo Kai to room 3301 of the Baijia Hotel.
He saved the child who ran a red light more than seventy times, but every time at 7:29:22, the child would still appear and run the red light again.
If he hadn't helped, the child would have been hit by that white SUV and would have died despite attempts to save him.
Ling Yi saved him more than seventy times, but in the end, the outcome could not be changed no matter what he did.
Reboot? Is it Ling Yi who's rebooting?
No, to be precise, it's only this day that's been restarted, it's the world itself.
Ling Yi was simply thrown back to the 25 minutes and 30 seconds mark, nothing more.
If he could also have his memories and experiences reset like others after the reboot, then Ling Yi naturally wouldn't go crazy, since he wouldn't be able to Perception the reboot anyway.
But ironically, he was the only one who retained his memories from before the reboot.
Ling Yi now has only one thought: to break the curse of time restarting and return to normal.
Even if it means I might actually die.
Ling Yi tried many methods, but none of them worked. This was what truly drove Ling Yi to despair.
Those who want to be killed cannot be killed, those who want to be saved cannot be saved, and those who want to be loved will be forgotten once they have loved.
This feeling can be summed up in two words: utter despair.
The more it collapses, the more extreme it becomes; the more extreme it becomes, the more insane it becomes.
During these hundred restarts, Ling Yi did quite a few absurd things.
If Ling Yi cannot break this vicious cycle, his mentality will eventually collapse completely.
Alternatively, Ling Yi could learn to adjust her mindset.
But this thing isn't something you can just adjust whenever you want; he's just an ordinary person.
At this moment, Ling Yi glanced at the comments section.
The comments section was filled with messages from the uncles, one of which was asking about the conditions for releasing Bai Yunxi.
Ling Yi stroked his chin. "Conditions?"
He hadn't really thought of the terms yet, since the kidnapping was just a spur-of-the-moment decision.
However, since the uncles have asked, it would be unprofessional for Ling Yi not to mention his conditions!
After a moment's hesitation, Ling Yi had an idea.
"The first condition is that Miao Yun and Guo Kai, those two bastards, connect online and slap themselves a hundred times in front of everyone!"
"The second condition is that Supervisor Wang makes a video call and, in front of everyone, donates three million—no, six million."
"My third condition is that Bai Yunxi's agency prepare 100 million yuan for me."
"If you meet these three conditions before 8 PM tonight, I will release him."
After saying that, Ling Yi ignored the comments in the live stream, took out his phone, and started ordering takeout.
He hadn't had breakfast yet, and was already a little hungry.
While opening the food delivery app, Ling Yi asked Bai Yunxi, "I'm about to order takeout. What do you want to eat? I'll order one for you too."
Bai Yunxi was speechless. At a time like this, you're still thinking about ordering takeout?
And ordering takeout right in front of the live stream? Do you think the uncles in the live stream are just sitting around doing nothing?
What's the difference between this and directly exposing yourself?
This guy doesn't seem very bright!
However, isn't this a good thing for Bai Yunxi? She's so uncomfortable being tied up right now. The sooner this farce ends, the sooner she can be free.
Although Bai Yunxi instinctively felt that Ling Yi wouldn't harm her, what if he did?
Her eyes lit up, and she said, "I want to eat stuffed pork belly!"
Du Bao Kun is a special delicacy. There is only one shop in Dafeng City that makes Du Bao Kun. If Ling Yi dares to order it, the uncles will immediately spot them.
"You have quite the appetite; this stuff isn't cheap!" Ling Yi laughed.
"Maybe this will be my last meal? I should at least eat well, so I can at least die with a full stomach!"
"That makes sense!"
Did Ling Yi not know Bai Yunxi's ulterior motives? Of course he did, but Ling Yi didn't care at all.
He was actually quite looking forward to seeing how things would develop next.
This was his first kidnapping in his hundred restarts, and it involved kidnapping Great Ming. He had never done anything like this before, when he was being a madman.
Just as Bai Yunxi had predicted, the uncles got busy as soon as Ling Yi started ordering takeout.
In fact, Ling Yi's information had already been thoroughly investigated by his uncles.
He grew up in an orphanage and was a Fengyun figure in his school.
He's handsome, academically excellent, and also outstanding in sports, playing basketball exceptionally well—a typical example of someone with both good looks and talent.
But after graduation, I drifted apart.
After various setbacks, he had no choice but to work as a salesperson at an insurance company.
Wanxin Company is a well-known large insurance company in China, specializing in providing large insurance products for the financial sector.
Anyone who has worked in insurance knows that these large insurance policies are the hardest to close, often involving hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of dollars.
Without a certain network of connections, it's basically hopeless.
Ling Yi, on the other hand, was Luck enough to secure a 30 million yuan order because he unexpectedly saved Zhao Rouying, the heiress of Dingsheng Group.
And it's true that Supervisor Wang from Wanxin Company stole Ling Yi's order.
He has now been taken away by his uncles for investigation.
As Ling Yi said, this Manager Wang has now become an internet celebrity, and Wanxin Company has also been thrust into the spotlight.
The reason Ling Yi repeatedly emphasized this point is because this company is not a legitimate company.
I don't know how many businesses they've harmed.
The company's insurance policies are riddled with traps; anyone who invests will be scammed.
Ling Yi not only wants to make Supervisor Wang an internet celebrity, but also wants to use this opportunity to completely destroy Wanxin Company.
Of course, Miao Yun and Guo Kai were also quickly called over by their uncles.
Like Manager Wang, they have now become internet celebrities.
If things had proceeded as planned, these people would have met with dire consequences.
Unfortunately, everything will be restarted, and no matter how big the commotion, it will all be in vain in the end.
At 11:25 a. m., the doorbell rang at the villa.
The takeout has arrived.
This also means that the uncles have already secured Villa No. 27 in the Imperial Venerable Villa District.
"I wonder what will happen?" Ling Yi murmured expectantly, then went out of the living room to get the takeout.
Upon opening the villa's gate, Ling Yi saw a Kangaroo Group rider standing at the entrance.
"Mr. Ling, right? Hello, you, you... deliveryman." The deliveryman stammered, looking at the gun in Ling Yi's hand.
The acting was good, but Ling Yi could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with the rider.
The moment Ling Yi saw the rider, he Perception the rider's extremely sharp gaze, a gaze that was definitely not something an ordinary person could possess.
If Ling Yi hadn't had a gun, this uncle might have made a move.
"Uncle, your acting is good, keep it up!" Ling Yi took the takeout from his hand and then closed the door directly.
The rider was indeed the uncle in disguise.
However, Ling Yi's simple "Go for it!" immediately annoyed him. "If you're so capable, put down your gun and see if I don't mess with you!"
After Ling Yi returned to the villa, he untied the ropes binding Bai Yunxi in front of the live stream viewers.
"Eat your food properly and don't try anything funny!" Ling Yi said, Finger Pistol Bai Yunxi.
Then, he placed one of the guns on the coffee table.
After all, you eat with chopsticks; he can't exactly eat with a gun.
This scene makes perfect sense.
However, the gun was positioned slightly closer to the center of the coffee table, less than half a meter away from Bai Yunxi.
In other words, Bai Yunxi could grab the gun simply by bending down and reaching out.
Bai Yunxi glanced at the pistol silently, then lowered her head to eat.
To be honest, Bai Yunxi was conflicted at the moment. Should she lend a hand?
But then he rejected the idea.
First, she doesn't know how to fire a gun. Second, even if she did get the gun, she would still need to bend down and reach for it, so she probably wouldn't be as fast as Ling Yi at firing.
Third, and most importantly, she might not dare to fire.
Ling Yi paused in his eating, a strong sense of crisis gripping him, and he involuntarily glanced out the window.
