Who's going to be the female lead's simp? Aren't the supporting female characters mor

The bald man howled while giving his underlings meaningful glances.

Immediately, someone raised their phone and started live-streaming: "Deep Blue Technology is using violent construction methods! They're bullying us honest people! This is a treasure left by our ancestors, and they're just ruining it like this!"

"You!" Bai Qing's chest heaved with anger. Although she was decisive and efficient in the business world, she was momentarily at a loss when faced with such a stubborn person.

If we directly use force to drive them away, public opinion will drown DeepBlue Technology tomorrow.

If we don't urge them to hurry up, every day the construction is delayed will be a waste of real money.

This is precisely Zhao Hongtu's brilliance—a disgusting person, not fatal, but capable of dragging you down.

"sister."

Just when the situation was at a stalemate, a calm voice pierced through the noisy scene.

Behind the crowd, the black Maybach came to a silent stop.

Chen Mo opened the car door, and Bai Jingyou stepped out.

He was still wearing the same dark gray suit he wore to the banquet, but the collar was slightly open, and he wasn't holding any documents in his hand, just a black tablet computer.

His appearance caused the previously noisy scene to fall silent for a moment.

That silence wasn't due to fear, but rather to an incongruous atmosphere.

The scene of mud and scrambling around seemed to have nothing to do with him; he was like a passing nobleman on his way to an opera.

"Jingyou." When Bai Qing saw her younger brother, the anger in her eyes instantly turned into worry. She walked over quickly and said, "Why are you here? I can handle this dirty work. You just made an appearance at the banquet, you can't get yourself involved in this mess now."

"Sister, you must have spent a lot of favors to hire so many experts, right?" Bai Jingyou glanced at the luxurious legal team behind Bai Qing and felt a warmth in his heart.

My sister is still the same sister; she'll protect him even if it means using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

"What's a little favor?" Bai Qing smoothed his wind-blown bangs and said through gritted teeth, "As long as we can get these scoundrels in, I'll hire all the best lawyers in the capital."

"No need for that."

Bai Jingyou smiled, walked past Bai Qing, and went straight to the bald man.

When the bald man saw the person in question arrive, his heart skipped a beat.

Master Zhao had told me that although this kid was young, he was very wicked.

"What...what do you want?" The bald man clutched the mud-covered porcelain shards in his arms, shrinking back. "Let me tell you, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have money! These are cultural relics! This is evidence!"

Bai Jingyou stopped two meters away from the bald man.

He didn't look at the bald man, but instead looked down at the porcelain shard, and then at the few guys next to him who were holding up their phones and live-streaming.

"Blue and white porcelain from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty".

Bai Jingyou spoke calmly, his voice not loud, but clearly carrying throughout the room, "According to the Law on the Protection of Cultural Relics, if a cultural relic is unearthed from underground, it belongs to the state. If it is ancestral private property, proof of inheritance is required."

"I...this is a family heirloom! Can't I just bury it in the ground to ward off evil spirits?" the bald man shouted, sticking out his neck.

"Sure, of course."

Bai Jingyou nodded, his finger lightly swiping across the tablet. "However, there's something that puzzles me. Since it's a family heirloom, why was it still in a craft shop called Jubaozhai in Panjiayuan before 4:32 PM today?"

The bald man's expression changed instantly.

The surrounding noise stopped abruptly.

Bai Jingyou turned the tablet in his hand around, so that the screen faced the bald man and the mobile phone cameras that were broadcasting live.

On the screen was an extremely clear surveillance video.

In the video, the bald man in front of you is wearing a conspicuous yellow down jacket and is haggling with the shop owner in an antique shop.

"Boss, give me five pounds of these high-quality replicas of blue and white porcelain shards. I want the kind that's realistically aged and has an earthy smell."

"Okay, that'll be two hundred yuan in total. Scan the code or pay in cash?"

"Scan the QR code."

The picture was clear, the sound was loud, and even the phone wallpaper that was revealed when the bald man scanned the QR code was clearly visible.

A deathly silence.

The netizens who were just moments ago angrily spamming the live stream chat with insults against DeepBlue Technology are now filled with "???" and "Holy crap".

"This...this is AI-generated! This is fake!" The bald man panicked and jumped up to grab the tablet.

Chen Mo had somehow appeared in front of Bai Jingyou, one hand gripping the bald man's wrist like an iron clamp, and twisting it gently.

"Ah—!" A pig-like scream echoed through the night sky.

Bai Jingyou put away the tablet, still wearing that harmless smile, but his eyes were as cold as ice.

"Not only that."

He swiped the screen again, "At 5:15 PM, you and these guys climbed over the west wall of the construction site and buried your newly bought ancestor in this plot of land. You even used our construction site's shovels. I must say, you guys have a good sense of environmental protection; you even knew to fill the soil back up after digging."

On the screen, the drone's high-definition infrared video clearly captured the entire process of them burying the object, even showing the exact expressions on everyone's faces.

DeepBlue Technology focuses on big data and intelligent monitoring.

On this land that Bai Jingyou has come to regard as his private property, even a fly that flies in can be distinguished by its gender, let alone these living people.

"You...you're spying on us? That's an invasion of privacy!" The bald man was sweating profusely from the pain, but he was still being stubborn.

"Installing security cameras on my private property is legal and compliant."

Bai Jingyou looked down at him and said, "But you are the one who committed extortion, fabricated evidence, and provoked trouble. Moreover, the amount of money involved is huge. After all, if the construction is suspended for even one day, the loss will be seven figures."

He turned to look at the legal team behind Bai Qing, his tone gentle: "Attorney Zhang, what's the minimum number of years for this amount of extortion?"

The middle-aged lawyer carrying a briefcase adjusted his glasses and immediately chimed in, "According to the Criminal Law, those involved in particularly large sums of money or other particularly serious circumstances are subject to imprisonment for ten years or more. If we add the crime of gathering a crowd to disrupt social order, it will most likely be at least fifteen years."

fifteen years!

Upon hearing this number, the group of henchmen behind the bald man immediately erupted in chaos.

They only came to join in the fun after receiving a bribe of 500 yuan each from Zhao Hongtu; none of them intended to spend their lives in jail!

"I...I quit! Brother Lai sent me here!"

"Me too! He gave me this white banner!"

"I'm reporting this! I have the chat logs!"

So-called alliances of offense and defense are more fragile than paper in the face of absolute prison sentences.

The filial sons and grandsons who were just lying on the ground are now scrambling to their feet, eager to tear out their hearts to prove their innocence.

The bald man's face was ashen, and he slumped down in the mud.

It’s over.

It's all over.

Bai Jingyou waved his hand, and several security personnel who had been waiting on the perimeter stepped forward and restrained the bald man and his companions like dragging a dead dog.

As for the procedure of calling the police to arrest someone, that was naturally handled by Chen Mo.

"Wonderful."

Bai Qing stood aside, watching her younger brother's smooth and skillful actions. The worry in her eyes had long since turned into admiration, and even a bit of pride. "I was thinking about how to fight these scoundrels in court, but I didn't expect you to expose them so thoroughly."

"Sis, reasoning with thugs is useless."

Bai Jingyou took out a handkerchief, wiped away the dust he had picked up from being close to the bald man, and casually threw it into the trash can. "You have to be more disciplined than a thug, but also less disciplined than a thug."

Bai Qing looked at her younger brother, who had suddenly become somewhat unfamiliar, and felt a mix of emotions.

The boy who used to follow me around asking for pocket money has truly grown up. He's grown into a big tree that can shelter me from the wind and rain, and even... somewhat unfathomable.

"What are you planning to do about Zhao Hongtu?" Bai Qing asked. "After what happened tonight, we've completely broken off all relations."

"To tear off the mask?"

Bai Jingyou turned around, looking towards the dimly lit capital city in the distance, a playful smile curving his lips. "Sister, this is just the beginning."

Since Zhao Hongtu likes to play dirty tricks and use those old methods to disgust people.

Let him see what a new era of dimensional reduction attack really means.

"Chen Mo."

"Boss." Chen Mo appeared silently behind him.

"Master Zhao is getting old and his memory isn't good. President Chen reminded him at the banquet to repair the old warehouse, but he definitely didn't listen."

Bai Jingyou's voice was exceptionally clear in the night breeze, "Notify Feng Rui, and also Lin Lanfeng."

"Since his logistics system is outdated, there's no need for it to exist."

"Help him save face."

A glint of light flashed in Chen Mo's eyes, and he bowed his head in response, "Yes."

Bai Qing listened with a pounding heart.

Is Bai Jingyou trying to... uproot Zhao Hongtu?

"Let's go, sis."

Bai Jingyou suppressed his murderous aura and reverted to his gentle and refined younger brother persona. He put his arm around Bai Qing's shoulder and said, "It's windy and dusty here, not good for your skin. I'll treat you to a late-night snack, and while we're at it... let's talk about how to divide up Master Zhao's territory."

A red Ferrari and a black Maybach drove away from the construction site one after the other.

All that remained were the group of thugs still being questioned and the excavators that had started roaring again.

……

A teahouse in Beijing.

"Snapped!"

An expensive Yixing teapot was smashed to the ground, shattering into pieces.

Zhao Hongtu sat on the armchair with a livid face, his chest heaving violently.

The pair of walnuts in his hands were cracking loudly as he squeezed them, as if they were about to burst open at any moment.

"Useless! All of you are useless!"

Zhao Hongtu pointed at his kneeling subordinate and roared, "You can't even seal off a construction site! Someone even filmed it and posted it online! Now the whole internet is laughing at me, Zhao Hongtu, as an old rogue who only knows how to stage accidents!"

That video just now went viral and became a trending topic in the city within just half an hour.

Although the bald man was blurred in the video, everyone in the industry knows that it was Zhao Hongtu's doing.

This is not just a failure; it's like offering your face to be slapped, and then being spat on afterward.

"Fourth Master, that kid is too strange," the subordinate said tremblingly. "It's like he knew what we were going to do all along; he even had the drones ready. Our every move is under his watchful eye..."

"That's enough!"

Zhao Hongtu took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

He knew he had underestimated his opponent.

Bai Jingyou is not a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered at all, but a wolf in sheep's clothing.

"You think you can beat me with such petty tricks?" Zhao Hongtu smiled sinisterly, the smile appearing particularly sinister in the dim light. "Since he doesn't play by the rules, then don't blame me for being ruthless. Notify the third brother to cut off all building material supplies to Deep Blue Technology. I want to see what he'll use to build that hub without bricks and cement!"

"Also, investigate that guy named Feng Rui. I have a feeling someone tipped him off about this."

That night, undercurrents surged in the capital.
