As they were talking, two headlights suddenly appeared on the road.
"The main character has arrived!" Ling Yi grinned, stood up, and walked to the middle of the road.
Upon seeing a person suddenly appear on the road, Chen Gouzhi almost instinctively slammed on the brakes.
The car's tires screeched against the ground, and it came to a stop just in front of Ling Yi.
"Are you fucking crazy? Are you looking to get yourself killed in the middle of the night?!" Chen Gouzhi cursed as he poked his head out.
However, Chen Gouzhi's pupils contracted when he saw Ling Yi's appearance clearly.
"You idiot, Reckless Man?"
Ling Yi has changed his appearance three times since he started live streaming.
One is a handsome guy during a street interview, and the other is a gloomy young man disciplining a naughty child.
The image that appears most frequently is that of a burly man with a face full of scars, and it is also the image that leaves the deepest impression on people.
The appearance of this Reckless Man is bound to cause trouble, and now Reckless Man has undoubtedly started a live stream.
Chen Gouzhi afraid of being beaten up by the Reckless Man, after all, the Reckless Man had never killed anyone; at most, he would be crippled or seriously injured and have to stay in the hospital for a few months.
But right now, there's Lin Wanfei in his car, bound hand and foot. If this gets exposed, the consequences will be far beyond what he can bear.
Thinking of this, Chen Gouzhi's face turned deathly pale, and he cursed inwardly, "Why did this jinx choose me?"
He now has only one thought: to get away from this Reckless Man.
So he quickly pulled his head back and was about to shift into reverse and leave.
But the next moment, Ling Yi raised his hand high and slammed it down hard on the front of the car.
To the astonishment of Chen Gouzhi and all the viewers in the live stream, Ling Yi's slap created a deep dent in the front of the car.
A whole bunch of parts flew off instantly, and the engine groaned a few times before going completely silent.
"Hey!"
Ling Yi stared at Chen Gouzhi in the car, a cruel smile spreading across his face. He strode to the car door, ripped it off, grabbed Chen Gouzhi by the collar, and dragged him out.
Leaving Chen Gouzhi aside, Ling Yi ripped off the back door of the car, smiled at Lin Wanfei who had woken up and was beaming with joy, and casually snapped the ropes binding her.
Lin Wanfei quickly threw off the ropes binding her, not even bothering to remove the duct tape from her mouth, and jumped out of the car, clinging to Ling Yi.
"Waaaaah, umm, waaaah!"
Ling Yi chuckled, carefully peeled off the tape from her mouth, and said with a smile, "How does it feel to be kidnapped twice in one day?"
"I knew you would come to save me, I knew it, waaaaah!" Even though Lin Wanfei was usually very outgoing, she couldn't hold back anymore and hugged Ling Yi, bursting into tears.
The viewers in the live stream were stunned. What were they seeing? Was that Lin Wanfei, the nation's Xiao Xian Nü?
What happened with being kidnapped twice?
What's the relationship between Lin Wanfei and that Reckless Man? Wow, is this the start of some drama?
However, at that moment, Chen Gouzhi had already pulled out a pistol from his pocket, pointed it at Ling Yi's head, and pulled the trigger.
Lin Wanfei was terrified when she saw this, but Chen Gouzhi fired too quickly, and she didn't even have time to warn him.
"Bang!"
After a gunshot rang out, Chen Gouzhi burst into laughter.
" Reckless Man, you think you're so tough? Are you tougher than a bullet? You're still...!" His words were cut short.
Ling Yi rubbed the back of his head, first putting Lin Wanfei down, then turning and walking towards Chen Gouzhi.
"I almost forgot who you are; you also have a gun on you."
Seeing Ling Yi approaching, Chen Gouzhi roared, "Impossible! Die!"
"Bang bang bang... Crack crack!"
He frantically emptied his pistol, yet continued to pull the trigger nervously.
This scene, beyond his comprehension, pushed him to the brink of a mental breakdown.
Ling Yi opened his palm, revealing several severely Shapeshifting bullets inside.
After casually tossing it aside, he snatched Chen Gouzhi's pistol, and with a flick of his wrist, crushed it into scrap metal.
"Don't come any closer!" Chen Gouzhi's expression twisted as he turned to run away.
But at this moment, his nerves were on edge, and his hands and feet were clearly out of coordination. He tripped over his own feet and fell to the ground.
"Crack!" Ling Yi stomped on his kneecap, then squatted down and asked softly, "Why did you kidnap Lin Wanfei?"
Chen Gouzhi was in so much pain that tears and snot streamed down his face, and his expression was one of agony. He couldn't possibly answer Ling Yi's question.
Ling Yi slapped him across the face and asked in a cold voice, "I'm asking you a question!"
The first wave of intense pain had passed, and Ling Yi's slap gradually brought Chen Gouzhi back to his senses.
Seeing Ling Yi raise his hand to slap her again, she quickly raised her hand to cover her face and said urgently, "Money, money, I kidnapped Lin Wanfei to extort money."
Ling Yi knew this guy couldn't tell the truth, and wouldn't dare to.
Song Zhi already wields Shrouding the Heavens in Meijian City, and Chen Gouzhi's family is also in Meijian City. If he betrays Song Zhi today, his family may be drowned in the river before dawn.
" Song Zhi asked you to kidnap Lin Wanfei so that he could use her to control Lin Pengyun Lin Wanfei, right?" Ling Yi said slowly.
" Lin Pengyun, the police chief of Longteng City, is the main person in charge of this cross-city crackdown on organized crime."
"Go back and tell Song Zhi, Lin Wanfei and Lin Pengyun are now Reckless Man my protection. Whoever makes a move, I'll kill them."
"There are a total of nine gang leaders in Meijian City, with 21,000 men under their command. Over the next few days, I will find them one by one and eliminate them."
At this point, Ling Yi leaned closer to Chen Gouzhi, grinning, "Or, you can mobilize all your forces and come here to fight me head-on."
Ling Yi patted his face, stood up, walked towards Lin Wanfei, placed a large hand on Lin Wanfei's shoulder, and turned to Chen Gouzhi, saying, "I'll be waiting for you!"
The next moment, Ling Yi Teleportation away with Lin Wanfei, and at the same time, the live stream screen went dark.
Following this live stream, news that the Reckless Man had appeared in Meijian City, ready to confront the Meijian City's criminal gangs, quickly spread online.
Information about Song Zhi, Lin Pengyun, Chen Gouzhi, and others mentioned by Ling Yi has also been uncovered.
Song Zhi, the top official of Meijian City, is actually Umbrella of the Meijian City's criminal gangs? No wonder Meijian City has been embroiled in scandals for so long without any action. The top official is acting as Umbrella; that's quite a powerful umbrella.
However, this online storm was quelled within hours of it starting to brew.
Especially on major video platforms, it's surprisingly difficult to find any information about Meijian City.
This demonstrates just how terrifying the power Song Zhi wields.
As the top official of Meijian City, Song Zhi's position is certainly large enough, but he is still not the biggest one.
There is an even bigger umbrella behind him; otherwise, it would have been impossible to suppress public opinion in such a short time.
The more it is suppressed, the greater the resentment in people's hearts becomes, and once it erupts, the consequences will be unimaginable.
People desperately need an outlet for their emotions.
Around 8 a. m. on July No. 10, Lin Wanfei sat on the sofa in the living room on the first floor of the RV, eating a steamed bun while scrolling through videos on her phone.
"You'll stay in this RV for the next few days until everything is finished before you leave."
"Mm!" Lin Wanfei nodded, but her mood was somewhat low.
She really wanted to go out and cause trouble with Ling Yi, but she knew her own limitations; following Ling Yi would only cause Ling Yi trouble.
"I will protect your father; you don't need to worry about that."
" Ling Yi!" Lin Wanfei looked up at Ling Yi.
"Um?"
"Thanks!"
You're welcome. It was just a coincidence that we ran into each other.
" Ling Yi!"
"Um?"
Lin Wanfei moved closer to Ling Yi, scrolling through her phone as she said, "There's very little news about Meijian City online, especially on short video platforms; it's almost gone."
Upon hearing Lin Wanfei's words, Ling Yi suddenly froze.
He could easily create his own short video platform.
Other short video platforms may face constraints from various parties, but what does Ling Yi have to fear? Who can restrain him?
Moreover, he's Reckless Man; he can be reckless not only offline but also online.
However, there is a matter of degree involved, which must be carefully controlled.
You can't just post anything on his platform. What if some idiot posts porn on it?
However, Ling Yi didn't need to worry about this; he was a man with a system.
"System, I want to create a short video platform, but people can only post real content on it; no fake content can be posted. You know what I mean?"
"Deduct 1 million Recklessness Points, update the Reckless Man Livestreaming Platform to version 2.0, add short video posting function, live streaming function, Karma prediction function, Merit Surveillance function, Merit Store function. Deduct? Yes/No!"
Ling Yi looked completely bewildered.
The earlier parts are understandable, but what are the Karma prediction function, the Merit Surveillance function, and the Merit Store function?
" The Karma prediction function can predict the impact of videos or live streams posted by others in advance, and thus generate positive and negative Merit Points."
" The Merit Surveillance function checks the Merit status of the video publisher and streamer. Merit Points negative, the video will not be published, and the live stream Sealing."
" Merit Points will be split 50/50, with the host and author receiving the reward respectively."
"You can exchange anything in the current world at the Merit Store."
A long passage of text floated before Ling Yi's eyes. After staring at it for a moment, Ling Yi pondered and said, " The Merit Store function is fine, but don't activate it for now. I'll decide when to activate it."
"Furthermore, the concept of Merit Points is a bit too fantastical. Could you perhaps create a different method, directly converting Merit into cash that can be withdrawn? Is that feasible?"
"Deduct 1 million Recklessness Points and update the Reckless Man Livestreaming Platform to version 2.0. Deduct? Yes/No?"
"Deduct!"
