Future News: My Phone Mutated Novel - Chapter 74

Chapter 74: Looking for a Breakthrough
Lin Bai carefully read the time on the news again and found that the tragedy had actually happened today, just a few hours later!

It was now 12:30 in the afternoon, and the time when the murderer attacked was around 5:30 in the evening.

In other words, Lin Bai had at most five hours to prepare.

And the murder scene was right below his father’s company.

His father was probably one of the first victims to die. He had just left the company after work when he was hit and killed while crossing the road.

This made it even more difficult for Lin Bai to rescue him.

If his father had been hacked to death after the murderer got out of the car, it would have been relatively easy to stop him.

After all, Lin Bai now had the supreme-ruler-level fighting technique with him. He was absolutely invincible in close combat. Snatching a knife to save someone was a piece of cake for him.

However, the problem was that his father was killed by the other party’s car.

No matter how good Lin Bai’s fighting skills were, he could not block a car with his body, especially when it was driven by a madman who wanted to take revenge on society by speeding up to 180 miles per hour.

Other than immortals, no one could block a car at this speed.

Then what exactly did he have to do to save his father’s life?

Lin Bai knew that the easiest way was to go to his father’s company and find a reason to delay him so that he wouldn’t get off work on time.

As long as he didn’t leave the company at that time, he would be fine.

But Lin Bai didn’t just want to save his father. He wanted to save all the dead and injured!

He really couldn’t bear to see so many innocent passers-by die.

But what should he do?

What should he do?

As time passed by, Lin Bai became more and more anxious.

He tried his best to find a perfect solution, but the more he tried, the more clueless he became.

His brain seemed to be rusty, and he couldn’t think of anything.

When Luo Yang came back, he gently patted his shoulder.

“Boss, don’t feel too bad. There are more solutions than difficulties.”

“If there’s anything you need help with, let me know. I’ll do my best.”

Actually, Luo Yang had already bought the water, but he saw Lin Bai still fiddling with his phone from afar and thought that he wasn’t in a hurry to come back because he hadn’t finished dealing with the family matters.

But gradually, he began to realize that Lin Bai’s mood was becoming more and more abnormal.

He was worried that if this continued, Lin Bai would do something drastic, so he came back and tried to persuade him.

After hearing Luo Yang’s words, Lin Bai’s chaotic emotions calmed down a little.

He realized that anxiety and stress would only make it harder for him to think. Other than that, there was no other benefit.

So Lin Bai forced himself to calm down. He turned the news over and over again and carefully read it several times, afraid that he would miss out on any important details.

Especially at the end of the news, there was a photo of the murderer. Lin Bai stared at it for a full ten minutes.

Until he confirmed the man’s appearance, it was deeply imprinted in his mind. Even if he passed by him on the street, he could recognize him at a glance.

Lin Bai also remembered all the information about that man in his heart.

That man’s name was Zhao Yiming. He was forty-two years old and he used to be an ordinary employee in the construction industry.

In the past, he was a well-known good guy in the company. He was very popular and his colleagues had high opinions of him.

The news even mentioned that after Zhao Yiming was arrested, his colleagues’ first reaction was that the police had arrested the wrong person.

They did not believe that someone who was usually friendly and warm-hearted could be chased out of such a crazy situation.

What was even more ironic was another detail.

Lin Bai realized that the unscrupulous developer that indirectly caused Zhao Yiming to fall into a desperate situation was actually Qingcheng Group.

Lin Bai could not help but mutter in his heart, “Shen Wanqing, oh, Shen Wanqing, you really have done this kind of inhuman thing many times!”

While he was ridiculing, Lin Bai was also secretly calculating in his heart whether he could use Shen Wanqing as a breakthrough point.

After all, there was a debt to be repaid, and the person who caused Zhao Yiming to be cornered was Shen Wanqing, not those innocent passersby.

If he could make Shen Wanqing pay the price, or give Zhao Yiming a chance to directly contact Shen Wanqing, perhaps he wouldn’t shift his hatred to other people?

Lin Bai felt that this method might work.

However, to be safe, he still had to think carefully and make sure that nothing went wrong.

Otherwise, if there were any mistakes in the process, the price to pay would be dozens of lives.

Lin Bai’s mind was full of these calculations, and he almost forgot where he was.

Luo Yang tried not to disturb Lin Bai at first, but as time went on, he couldn’t wait any longer.

“Boss, haven’t you finished dealing with your family matters?”

“Why don’t we go back to school first?”

Luo Yang suggested.

Only then did Lin Bai come back to his senses. He knew that he couldn’t just stand in the airport and look at his phone like a fool.

The place where the accident happened tonight was in the downtown area near the city center, while the airport was in the suburbs. Even driving would take an hour.

Therefore, Lin Bai had to go back a little earlier. That way, even if there was an emergency, he would be able to deal with it in time and save the others as much as possible.

“Okay, let’s go back now. Please take a taxi.”

Lin Bai said to Luo Yang.

On the way back, Lin Bai directly transferred the medical fee to Wang Huaigu.

Wang Huaigu was pleasantly surprised that he had suddenly received a large sum of money and suspected that he was dreaming.

It was not until all the injured workers’ medical fees were paid that Wang Huaigu finally felt relieved. He finally believed that he was not dreaming.

“Mr. Lin, thank you so much. You transferred the money in such a timely manner!”

“On behalf of all the injured workers, I thank you for your great kindness!”

Lin Bai said, “There’s no need for that. It’s what we should do.”

“You don’t have to be grateful to me. Just take care of those injured workers.”

“Alright, I still have something to do. Let’s not talk about it now.”

Wang Huaigu hurriedly said, “Alright, Alright, Alright. In this case, Mr. Lin, you go ahead and do your work. I won’t disturb you anymore.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Lin Bai continued to plan how to use Shen Wanqing as a breakthrough point to make Zhao Yiming give up on his plan to take revenge on society.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Lin Bai’s mind. He thought of the problem that he had neglected previously.

He slapped his thigh excitedly and said excitedly, “That’s right! Why didn’t I think of him earlier!”

Luo Yang, who was listening at the side, was confused. He asked, “Think of who?”

“Boss, your condition today is too abnormal.”

Lin Bai coughed dryly to cover up his embarrassment. He replied vaguely, “It’s nothing. I just thought of how to solve the problems at home.”

Luo Yang nodded and did not continue to ask.

“Oh, that’s good. See, I told you, there are more solutions than difficulties!”
