I'm a professional villain actor; my fans are begging me not to kill them.

The netizens are really having a good time criticizing me. I immediately clicked on Bai Ye's post to read it.

People started criticizing me after I only watched half of it. Asking for leave is one thing, but keeping it a secret is another?

"You're kidding me!"

"What's so shameful about it?"

"Hehe, did you go to relax?"

"You really think you're something special, keeping secrets? What are you so secretive about?"

"At least come up with a reason, anything like a stomachache or a headache will do."

"I'm not going to act anymore."

A group of blind people started criticizing Bai Ye, and before they could finish, others started criticizing him as well.

"Being late is one thing, but being armed with a knife? Why don't you just say there were terrorists?"

"Wow, you're really good at making things up! Why don't you be the screenwriter?"

"That's bullshit. I've even saved the planet."

"If you admit your mistake, you'll get a beating; if you get a beating, you'll have to stand up straight. Take my advice and just apologize."

"Stop being stubborn. Stubborn people never end well."

Bai Ye was a bit confused. When he said he had killed someone, a bunch of people shouted "murderous maniac." When he said he had saved someone, no one believed him. Are netizens all so abstract?

Almost no one in the comments section believed what Bai Ye said. His fan base was too small, so his words were unlikely to elicit a significant reaction.

But soon, the situation changed again.

The incident at noon where a thug held a girl hostage at knifepoint was actually filmed by someone at the scene, but it didn't go viral until several hours later, after sufficient fermentation.

The onlookers recorded the entire incident, including the relationship between the man and woman, the woman's complaints, and so on.

At first, netizens thought it was just a normal argument, but when they clicked in, they were immediately filled with righteous indignation.

"Holy crap, that guy is so awful!"

"Someone like that has a girlfriend? Unbelievable!"

"Who understands, ladies? Meeting a guy like that is just incredibly unlucky."

"Speechless."

The agitated man suddenly pulled out a long knife, and the crowd scattered in shock. Viewers watching on screen were startled and held their breath for the girl.

The man's indiscriminate cursing was particularly comical.

Then, Bai Ye suddenly appeared and entered the scene.

"Me?"

"Is this Lin Dong?"

"Holy crap, why is he everywhere?"

"Wow! It's even a love triangle!"

"Really? What a coincidence!"

"Lin Dong knows this woman? It sounds like he's being treated like a simp?"

"This is so tragic!"

"That's the taste, Bao is a simp."

"What, you sensed the presence of someone of your own kind?"

"They're selling sunflower seeds, drinks, and bottled water in the front row now."

"This turn of events was completely unexpected."

"Wow, Lin Dong is in a relationship."

Bai Ye's performance was so realistic that even though the girl kept denying it, the more she denied it, the more people believed it to be true. The sycophantic tone and expressions in Bai Ye's performance convinced not only the audience at the scene but also netizens. It was just too much of a sycophant.

Everyone was enjoying the show and watching the drama unfold when Bai Ye suddenly subdued the thug with lightning speed, nearly breaking his back in the process.

When the video ended, netizens went wild.

Bai Ye's comment section exploded instantly.

"Dude, you actually saved someone?"

"Bro, please, just act as a simp for one episode, I love watching it."

"Holy crap, bro, you really know kung fu?"

"666, that's some acting talent."

"That's amazing. I almost thought you were a simp who got scammed."

"What if it's not an act?"

The video of Bai Ye's act of bravery was actually posted online after the criminal was caught, but because such things don't generate as much buzz as celebrity gossip, it remained relatively unknown. The video hadn't even gone viral yet when Bai Ye was being cyberbullied for acting arrogantly.

For some reason, the video went viral right after Bai Ye clarified the situation.

then……

The trending topics appeared on their own.

#Man disarms knife-wielder#

#Lin Dong outwits criminals#

#Lin Dong: How are you going to pay me back what you owe me!#

It was another day of losing his real name. The name Bai Ye was utterly destroyed in front of Lin Dong. No matter who it was, as soon as they saw his face, it was like seeing his ID card, and they would start talking about Lin Dong all the time.

Perhaps things will only get better after Li Linfeng is released.

In the comments section, netizens quickly shifted their focus from criticizing the criminals and sympathizing with the female lead to Bai Ye.

"At the scene, I thought Lin Dong was really the other woman."

"I was there too. It really looks so real. Didn't you see the criminals were smiling?"

"I'm begging Lin Dong to play the male lead in a romance novel."

"+1, I want to see it too."

"Could you act in more scenes? I'm having trouble sleeping because I see Lin Dong killing people every day."

"This guy's got some quick wit. Did you guys notice? Lin Dong was originally going to leave. If the guy hadn't pulled out a knife, he probably would have already left."

"Hilarious, I saw it too. He even got told to get lost by that guy."

"Haha, is it possible that he arrested the thug because he was insulted?"

"That makes perfect sense."

"This incident teaches us that we should be polite and not swear at others casually."

"The thug: Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier?"

"By the way, I just saw someone criticizing him for being late and acting like a big shot."

"Damn, who said that?"

Then a large wave of netizens flooded into Baiye's comment section. The people praising him were probably the same people who were criticizing him.

"Lin Dong, we were wrong."

"Sorry, I thought you were talking about abstract concepts."

"You really saved someone!"

"Being late doesn't matter, saving lives is the most important thing!"

Nobody cares about being late or acting like a big shot anymore. When it comes to saving lives, what does it matter if you're more than an hour late, or even ten hours late?

What can you do later?

After the rescue video went viral, official media outlets reposted it, further confirming the authenticity of the incident.

Jiaxing Public Security Bureau fully affirmed Bai Ye's clever fight against the criminals, praising him as a "folk hero" for his courage and righteousness.

"Heroes aren't born fearless, they simply choose to be brave. Thumbs up for the heroes! #WhiteNight"

The police not only forwarded the video, but also tagged it with "Bai Ye". Netizens could search for Bai Ye's personal account by clicking on the tag, which had a very good effect on attracting traffic.

If it were just a simple rescue, it might not have garnered such widespread attention. However, Bai Ye's actions brought the video to even greater popularity, and this attention also benefited him personally.

His Douyin (TikTok) followers have also successfully surpassed 30.

Several trending topics added 70,000 to 80,000 followers to Bai Ye's fan base.

Fu Ziang stared at Douyin in shock, feeling like he'd been ripped off again.

Damn it, he spent money to buy trending topics, which gave Bai Ye another wave of fans.

"Damn it! Why is he so meddlesome?!"

"Is this never going to end?!"

"Why is this guy so hard to kill!"

Fu Ziang and his agent were completely dumbfounded, their scalps tingling from this unexpected turn of events. If you're late, fine, but why the hell did you have to save someone? It makes them look like idiots.
