After understanding the whole story on the other end of the phone, Bai Lu was completely stunned.

No, are you really going to go to such lengths to rip me off?

How long has it been since things calmed down last time?

She hadn't even had time to enjoy a peaceful life when this huge disaster struck her again!

Bai Lu looked at his purple gymnastics uniform, which was stretched taut from bowing his head, with lingering fear.

Because the clothing is made of thin, soft, and close-fitting material, the metal outline of the three rings is clearly visible.

"Why...why do I have so many troublesome, poor relatives?!"

Bai Lu cried out in despair in his heart.

However, given that Sun Yi and Li Yitong were still sitting cross-legged to the side, she knew she absolutely could not lose her temper in front of the two women.

He could only manage a somewhat awkward smile as he whispered into the phone:

"Wait a minute, my signal is bad."

After saying that, Bai Lu got up from the mat in a somewhat disheveled manner, avoiding the scrutinizing gazes of Sun Yi and Li Yi, and jogged all the way to the villa's garden.

As soon as they reached the secluded, deserted corner, Bai Lu's face quickly contorted into a grimace. He lowered his voice and, speaking sharply into the microphone, demanded:

"Bai Wu! You better tell me honestly, how exactly did you infiltrate Haofeng?!"

"Did someone use my name again to help you get in through connections?"

Hearing his cousin's murderous tone, Bai Wu, the younger cousin on the other end of the phone, shrank back, but couldn't help muttering under his breath:

"Cousin, you're wronging me! I got in based on my own merit!"

"Last year I successfully upgraded from a junior college to a bachelor's degree, right? I just happened to see that Haofeng Film and Television Department is recruiting a warehouse manager for Xiapi Film and Television City."

"Their main requirement was a bachelor's degree, which I happened to meet, so I submitted my resume, and I got the job on my first try!"

Speaking of this, you could still hear Bai Wu's barely concealed pride in the receiver.

You should know that this is the first "undergraduate student" among all the relatives of the Bai family.

Even if it's just a bachelor's degree obtained through a junior college transfer program that isn't particularly prestigious, it's enough for your family to brag about in the village for quite a while.

Bai Lu, who is now the most successful member of the Bai family, only had a junior college diploma back then.

But at this moment, Bai Lu had no time to care whether it was a junior college or a university!

She stomped her feet in anger, her ballet shoes scraping painfully on the garden's cobblestones, and demanded sharply:

"Warehouse manager? How could a gatekeeper intern possibly get his hands on master discs?!"

"Are all the security personnel in the film and television department idiots? How could they let an intern like you get away with it so easily?!"

When this was mentioned, his cousin Bai Wu even showed a hint of pride on the other end of the phone:

"Then...then aren't you my cousin?"

"When I first joined the company, I mentioned you to everyone casually."

"When the head of security heard that I was your cousin, he was incredibly enthusiastic towards me. He let me in and out of the duty room and archives whenever I wanted, and nobody seemed to be on guard against me..."

However, seemingly finally realizing the catastrophic disaster he was facing, Bai Wu lost all interest in boasting about his past glories and began to weep uncontrollably on the other end of the phone.

"Cousin! I was just confused for a moment!"

"I just saw that this show has become so popular online recently, and I got a moment of greed and copied it onto a USB drive."

"I swear, I really only sold the resources to a few netizens, just to earn some money for cigarettes."

"And I only sell one serving for 200 yuan!"

"Those high-definition pirated videos that are flooding the internet now, I really didn't do them!"

"How was I supposed to know they'd just upload the resources to their cloud storage?"

Listening to his cousin's foolish and naive self-defense, Bai Lu felt like he was about to cry from his stupidity.

Even though I'm often scolded by my girlfriends for being brainless.

But she really didn't expect that her cousin, who had gone from junior college to university, would be a million times dumber than her!

......

Two hundred yuan a serving?

How dare he?!

Bai Lu's back was quickly soaked with cold sweat.

But the most urgent task is to prevent this foolish cousin from turning the tables on her.

But her mind was a complete blank in her panic, and she couldn't think of any way to protect herself. She could only try to calm the other person down, anxiously asking:

"Where...where are you right now?!"

Bai Wu, on the other end of the phone, answered tremblingly:

"Sister, I'm already on the high-speed train, heading south."

"I figured I couldn't stay in Nanjing any longer, so I planned to take a bus to Hubei first, and then find a black boat there to escape to Thailand."

"I heard that the salaries at cultural and media companies in Thailand are really high, you can earn tens of thousands a month!"

"But...but those smugglers who were guiding us were asking for an outrageous price, a full 50,000 yuan for the boat fare."

"My mother is still in the hospital, and I really don't have a single penny to spare."

"Cousin, you have to save me this time! Once I make money in Thailand, I'll pay you back double!"

......

Upon hearing his cousin's childish and laughable escape plan, Bai Lu's eyes turned cold in an instant.

Although she has a gentle nature, it doesn't mean she's an idiot.

If this idiot really gets away, she'll be the one to blame for the leaked master tape!

At that time, my fate will probably be more than just leaving the entertainment industry!

Therefore, she must keep this menace in the country!

Thinking of this, Bai Lu's tone softened, even becoming gentle with a hint of heartache:

"Ah Wu, don't be in a hurry."

"We're all family. If we really run into trouble, why talk about money?"

Send me your bank card number, and I'll transfer the money to you in a bit.

"Listen to me, don't wander off in the car. Contact me when we get there."

"Thank you, sister! Thank you, sister! You are my savior. Our Bai family will definitely..."

He ignored Bai Wu's tearful and profuse thanks on the other end of the phone.

The second Bai Lu hung up the phone, he immediately clutched his chest and sprinted towards the villa's lobby.

She's going to ask the big sister, Li Xin, for advice!
