NOVEL NEXT Chapter 33
Chapter 33: The agreed one-to-four, what are you running?
You could infer what was happening, although he was unaware of the situation. Captain Chen briefed him this afternoon. He bravely infiltrated a pyramid scheme solo, apprehended the leader, and handed them over to the police. This daring operation was bound to astonish everyone.
After the news spread, major media outlets started searching for Lin Yang. The current scene would have seen him charging forward if not for security holding him back. The wedding atmosphere turned chaotic as curious guests approached Lin Yang, who was interviewed by celebrities, reinforcing previous suspicions.
Seeing Lin Yang’s interview, many realized only celebrities possessed such privileges. The groom’s family, having invited celebrities, garnered envy, especially from married individuals wishing for a grand marriage like this. Amidst the chaos, even the TV station arrived.
The parents of the couple, witnessing the media frenzy, were delighted despite knowing the reporters weren’t there for the wedding. They embraced the opportunity to appear on TV, anticipating future celebratory conversations with friends. However, surrounded by reporters, Lin Yang felt overwhelmed as they bombarded him with questions.
In a bid to escape, he smiled and stated, “I’m just here for the wedding. Please ask me later.”
He walked into the banquet hall, leaving the disappointed reporters barred from entry by vigilant staff.
One reporter, facing the camera, addressed the audience, “Good evening, everyone. Lin Yang, who raced in West Sea City to apprehend a robber earlier, pulled off another astounding feat this afternoon. After accidentally stumbling into a pyramid scheme, he escaped within an hour and handed the leader over to the police.”
“We’re currently living at Lin Yang’s wedding, awaiting its conclusion for further interviews. Stay tuned to this station for real-time updates.”
The reporters discovered that Lin Yang couldn’t be interviewed. It’s also great to interview at the wedding venue. Waiting there alone isn’t an option. It’s not…!
The bride and groom’s parents became the interviewees. The four elderly individuals smiled into the microphone. The couple also joined the interview ranks. This highlight scene was simultaneously broadcast live on the TV station. Many people witnessed this family moment.
Soon, Lin Yang’s phone rang. Glancing at it, he saw the bride’s ex-boyfriend calling.
“Hey! Anything else?”
The man on the phone sounded excited, “No, no… Wow, you sang that song. Let me hear it. I might cry!”
“Also, are you really famous? What a coincidence!”
Lin Yang smiled helplessly and said, “I’m not a star. You got it wrong!”
“Then why do you sing so well, and reporters are interviewing you? The fee for this favor is too low today!”
“No, no, it’s not like that. It was just a 2,000 yuan bet. I ate a nice meal and sang a song, and that’s good enough!”
The man fell silent for a few seconds on the other end of the phone.
“Thank you. I wanted her to have a smooth wedding and a better marriage.”
“Unfortunately, I couldn’t show up, so I had to ask for help. But you did everything I wanted, which was better than I expected. Now, I have no regrets. Thank you very much!”
Lin Yang smiled at this. He replied in a casual tone, “Next time you have a job like this, look me up!”
The man fell silent again.
Want to know what he said?
Cursing who!
Do you want me to do it again, huh? But he also knew Lin Yang was joking.
After a few simple chats, he hung up the phone.
[Popularity]+1+1+1+1…
[Popularity]+1+1+1+1…
….
[5555, why didn’t someone like Lin Yang show up when I married? I’d like to know if Lin Yang still accepts this kind of job, if he does, I’ll divorce immediately and find someone else to marry. You don’t need to do anything, just go on stage and sing me a song.] [Upstairs, I seriously suspect that you are joking. But to be honest, the marriage of this family is too worthwhile. Hundreds of thousands of fans for free, free reporter TV reports. These are not necessarily available even if you spend money. You have to be someone with a reputation.] [Not to mention bragging, if I can invite such a person to my wedding, I will get married immediately. Although Lin Yang is not a star, the traffic he drives is much higher than that of a star. Just imagine a star who can bring hundreds of thousands of viewers anytime. What kind of celebrity does he get?] [Hundreds of thousands? Have you forgotten that Lin Yang apprehended the leader of a pyramid scheme this afternoon? Have you forgotten the song he just sang? I searched for it but couldn’t find it, but it must be a great song, and you should all know it. Lin Yang will explode in popularity after tonight! The wedding will be exposed to the maximum extent on the internet, and this family will likely catch fire.]
….
Lin Yang sat, wearing a frown as he contemplated his escape plan. The recent attention from multiple microphones embarrassed him and made him determined to avoid a repeat. As the host took the stage for the final speech, the bridesmaid in the co-pilot seat discreetly approached Lin Yang.
“Hey, Lin Yang, I discovered a back exit earlier. We can avoid the reporters. Interested?” She whispered.
Lin Yang’s face lit up. “Where?” He eagerly inquired.
With a smile, the girl responded, “Follow me.” They navigated the banquet hall to a stage dressing room, where other bridesmaids and the newlyweds were present. The groom expressed gratitude to Lin Yang.
“Thanks a lot, Lin Yang. You truly surprised me today. I don’t know how to thank you,” the groom remarked.
Waving it off, Lin Yang said, “No problem. So, what about that shortcut?”
The groom led them to a discreet door and asked, “You clearly don’t want interviews. Let the bridesmaid accompany you. Can you help take them home?”
Lin Yang agreed, bidding them farewell. The bridesmaid led them to an emergency passage downstairs, finding no reporters at the exit. Once in the car, Lin Yang sighed in relief.
Avoiding reporters felt like a stealth mission, and he empathized with celebrities who despised journalists. Looking at the bridesmaids, he smiled, “Where do you live? I’ll drop you off.”
However, the bridesmaid’s response caught him off guard, and replied, “Handsome guy, didn’t you promise to teach us how to drive? And we want a set of four!”
Realization hit Lin Yang. He had underestimated their sincerity, forgetting his earlier commitment. Their joking tone at the beginning had transformed after the wedding incident. The girls’ eyes held a different light as they looked at him.
Lin Yang’s heart raced at the thought of the promised driving lessons. He couldn’t deny the excitement of the prospect. With a touch of arrogance, he replied, “Cowardly? I’m just saving face for you guys. Fine, let’s go learn how to drive!”
Laughter filled the car as the girls teased him.
“Off we go!”
As they bantered, one of the bridesmaids threw a surprise request. “Go to my place and help me clear the sewer!”
Lin Yang’s adrenaline surged. The girls were more open than he anticipated. It wasn’t a hint. It was a clear statement. If he declined, he wouldn’t be much of a man.
“I’m in! Let’s go!” Lin Yang declared with a mix of excitement and disbelief.
