Chapter 29: XinXin Baby, The Tide Ritual Case?
“Why are you back!?”
Zhu Yuxin was indeed not seriously injured after being hit by a car that night, but she was very upset.
The next day, she returned to the company, wanting to see if Bai Yu had come to the company to vent her anger. To her surprise, Bai Yu had resigned!
She thought that her pressure had scared the other party into not daring to come back, and she felt quite smug.
Unexpectedly, Bai Yu returned, and naturally, she was emotionally agitated.
However, realizing she was live-streaming, Zhu Yuxin immediately changed her expression and said gently to the viewers in the stream, “It’s that editor who resigned, and now he’s back at the company, clinging on.”
Bai Yu looked speechlessly at Zhu Yuxin, that fat woman.
Damn it!
What kind of personality is this? That video was deleted, wasn’t it? Did missing one frame of footage during editing constitute a heavenly crime?
Moreover, on the original list of deceased, you had a spot!
Your dog life was actually saved by me.
Thinking of this, Bai Yu was not to be outdone and shouted, “As expected, this pile of fat is still somewhat useful. You were hit by a car, yet you can still bounce around like this.”
Zhu Yuxin, upon hearing herself called fat, instantly exploded. She was about to fight Bai Yu to the death, but Bai Yu grabbed her right arm and, with a slight exertion, made her fall forward.
Then, Bai Yu picked up the dropped phone and said to the over three hundred viewers, “Can you have some taste? Staring at a 170-pound fatty and drooling.”
After speaking, he ended the stream.
However, the fan group exploded.
“170 pounds!? Is that true?”
“Is that the point? The point is this young man is too arrogant! He actually hit someone in front of so many of us. Is there no law!?”
“Exactly! We must cyberbully him! Let him know his limits.”
“Protect Piggy Baby!”
Liu Feifei, standing behind him, naturally saw Bai Yu dealing with Zhu Yuxin.
With a sudden thought, she exclaimed, “You treat your ex-girlfriend like this?”
As soon as she said that, Zhu Yuxin, sitting on the ground, exploded, “Girlfriend? Dream on! He’s a toad who wants to eat swan meat, ugly and promiscuous!”
Liu Feifei, however, was not afraid of making things worse and said, “How many women have you wronged outside?”
“Sister Feifei, this kind of joke isn’t funny.”
“Okay, okay, la la la~ I won’t say anymore.”
Bai Yu was already annoyed by his cousin’s matter. He didn’t expect to encounter Zhu Yuxin again that night.
Fortunately, he had no psychological burden in dealing with Zhu Yuxin. He didn’t provoke trouble, nor was he afraid of it, and now that his status was higher, he didn’t need to be too considerate in his actions.
At this moment, he actually felt a sense of relief.
If her stream was ruined, it would be her own fault!
It was only because of the law of the jungle that she bullied the wrong person.
At this moment, Li Yunbin and the General Manager also walked over.
They immediately saw Zhu Yuxin sitting on the ground.
The General Manager’s first thought: Could this woman be the cause of the strange noise?
He certainly didn’t believe an investigator would act without reason.
Li Yunbin glanced at Bai Yu, who scratched his head and remained silent.
Seeing this, Li Yunbin glanced at the streamers in the corridor who were looking this way. Many of them were still live-streaming on their phones.
He frowned and said to the General Manager beside him, “Tell them to turn off their streams.”
“Okay, okay.”
“Turn off all your streams!”
With the General Manager’s order, these seemingly powerful streamers could only end their broadcasts one by one.
Meanwhile, Zhu Yuxin, sitting on the ground, was stunned.
Although she had a bad temper, she wasn’t brainless.
What was going on?
Why did the General Manager listen to that young man? And Bai Yu seemed to be on his side.
As she thought this, the General Manager glanced at Zhu Yuxin and thought to himself, ‘What kind of trouble has this woman stirred up?’
‘Did she provoke someone from the Investigation Bureau? Is she that brainless!?’
He had to get everyone here to leave quickly, lest more clueless individuals show up.
“Due to special circumstances today, you can all leave work early.”
Upon hearing this, everyone left one after another.
This world was not like the previous life; small streamers dared not be arrogant in front of the company.
Otherwise, their account usage rights would be revoked, they would be forbidden from streaming during the contract period, and their income would be cut off.
They would also remain unknown in the future.
However, as XinXin Baby was about to leave, Bai Yu spoke, “Wait a moment, did I say you could leave?”
She had just called him a toad, and he was going to let her off so easily? He wasn’t that good-tempered!
Li Yunbin saw this and did not intervene.
The General Manager, however, was a bit nervous, fearing that this female streamer might have caused a major incident that would implicate the company.
He knew about the Spiritual Qi Awakening and understood the power and status of the Investigation Bureau.
XinXin Baby, seeing the situation was not right, no longer dared to be defiant and said fearfully, “What do you want?”
“I suspect you’ll go back and spout nonsense, slandering me in various ways?”
“No, I won’t.”
“Just saying it isn’t enough. I need you to apologize for tonight’s events in all your groups, and post an apology video on your account.”
After speaking, Bai Yu looked at the Captain with a normal expression and asked, “Captain, is this acceptable?”
“Of course, as long as you weren’t in the wrong.”
“I was just helping her edit a clip and didn’t notice a frame that removed the beauty filter. When I was working before, she even rushed to the editing department to find me. After I resigned, I thought the matter was over. Now, with her attitude, calling me a toad, I won’t tolerate it.”
Liu Feifei pouted upon hearing this, “So that’s what it was.”
“Mm.”
After speaking, Bai Yu, with a look of remembering something, said to Zhu Yuxin, “Right! Besides apologizing, I think you should clarify your own behavior. Don’t come up with another drama about being forced by authority.”
XinXin Baby? I’ll turn you into a pig-headed idiot!
After hearing the process, Li Yunbin also looked at the General Manager and said calmly, “Can you handle this? If not, our Investigation Bureau can take over.”
“Of course! Of course! The company will absolutely supervise strictly.”
After speaking, the General Manager breathed a sigh of relief. At least it didn’t escalate further! He had attended banquets before and knew the actual status of Li Yunbin and Qin Wanqing, who were more than just investigators.
Then, XinXin Baby left in fear.
This was just a minor interlude.
A normal person might choose to endure verbal conflict, but Bai Yu was not so easy to deal with!
After everyone left, Zhao Bin took out a small instrument, on which a flow chart appeared.
Following the spiritual energy, it led to the terrace.
About 8 meters above the terrace was the location of the spiritual energy rift.
The instrument clearly showed that the spiritual energy surging from the rift was immense.
Zhao Bin assessed, “The rift is at least five times larger than the last detection, which is an extremely abnormal growth rate.”
Bai Yu asked curiously, “Are there any disadvantages to the spiritual energy rift getting larger?”
“This relates to the fundamental origin of spiritual energy rifts.”
“According to current research, some spiritual energy rifts originate from the void, meaning, in plain terms, we don’t know where they come from, but they do provide spiritual energy to our Blue Star.”
“However, some rifts connect to other worlds, and creatures from those worlds use these rifts to invade Blue Star.”
“In fact, besides urban security battles, in the wilderness areas with denser spiritual energy and wider expanses, there have been hundreds or thousands of incidents where alien creatures have poured out of rifts and invaded Blue Star.”
Hearing this, the first thing Bai Yu thought of was the seemingly boastful words he had seen in a group chat, saying, ‘Zhou Gang fought thousands of alien creatures during his time in the army.’
This… it was actually true!
Then, they began to discuss how to deal with this spiritual energy rift.
From the current situation, this spiritual energy rift seemed problematic. Moreover, it was located in the Media Company building; any disturbance could spread online, affecting a vast area.
However, this kind of matter was not a case and could not be resolved in a short period.
While Zhao Bin analyzed various data, Bai Yu fell into thought.
He thought of the information he had seen in Li Yunbin’s personal archives.
The Yunhu Serial Murder Case, the Alien God Followers’ Tide Ritual Case, the Crimson Blood Pool Case.
Could this spiritual energy rift be related to the Alien God Followers’ Tide Ritual?
However, from the case names alone, he couldn’t deduce much information.
After an hour of work, the issue of the sound of waves on the eighth floor was resolved, temporarily suppressing this anomaly.
As for the anomaly behind the rift, it could only be studied slowly later.
Bai Yu checked the time; it was past 9:40.
He then looked at a message Zhang Youpeng had sent twenty minutes ago.
“X****g”
“We saw this person last night after dinner when we passed by the company entrance. I felt he was strange, but I don’t know if it was…”
Bai Yu looked at the photo. The person had neat hair and a tattoo on his arm, and indeed looked unusual.
However, he didn’t remember seeing this person.
At this moment, Li Yunbin and his group had already left the Media Building and gotten into a car.
Before the car started, Bai Yu spoke, “Captain, I have something to report.”
