Chapter 138 The Sin Buster
Chapter 138 The Sin Buster
It was nearly midnight when the incident ended, and the few people except Gao Feibai came out of the police station.
As soon as Ye Sanqing came out, he noticed some prying eyes around him, and not all of them were friendly.
"There are paparazzi." Ye Jin'er, who was quite familiar with this feeling, said, and he subconsciously blocked Ye Sanqing.
Ye Sanqing waved his hand, "Don't be afraid of them taking pictures."
"Exactly, let them write whatever they want. The trending topics just now were infuriating. Now that we're out here unscathed, isn't that the same as automatically clearing our name?"
Gong Yao spoke from the other side of Ye Sanqing.
"I'm hungry." Ye Sanqing walked quickly to the car parked by the roadside.
They borrowed the production crew's van when they arrived, and the van was quite spacious.
"Shall we go get some late-night snacks?" Ye Jin'er asked as she opened the car door for her.
"Where to?" Ye Sanqing looked at... Sheng Hanyu.
For some reason, she always felt that Sheng Hanyu should know more about these things.
"Late-night snack? Okay, I'll drive." Sheng Hanyu opened the door for Gong Yao and went around to the driver's seat.
"...Is your driver's license from China?" Ye Jin'er asked.
He drove here, thinking that if it didn't work out, he could drive back.
“There are domestic ones too, don’t worry, what illegal things could I possibly do here?” Sheng Hanyu said, pointing to the huge police station sign above her head.
Mu Zimo was the last to get on the bus and found a seat in the back.
Sheng Hanyu first took out her phone and sent a message, then started the car. "Luckily, the shop is still open. Let's go."
Ye Sanqing: [Little bug, you should learn from others.]
[Yes...] The little bug also wants to learn, but unfortunately its functions are too limited...
In the original world, it could not only drive a car, but also be taken over by a mecha.
As the car started moving, the prying eyes around them gradually disappeared into the distance.
"Does Sanqing have a driver's license?" Ye Jin'er asked casually.
"...No." Ye Sanqing recalled for a moment, thankfully the original owner hadn't learned it either, otherwise this matter would have been quite difficult to explain.
“It doesn’t matter. If I don’t want to learn, I don’t have to. Anyway, I have a driver at home.” Ye Jin’er thought for a moment and then said, “But if I need to use it for filming, it might not be very convenient.”
"Then I'll learn it when I have time."
Ye Sanqing thought to himself, this should be simpler than piloting mechs and small aircraft, right?
Having been here for so long, she's gotten quite used to the wheeled vehicles here.
Ye Jin'er hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.
"Second Brother, is there something you want to say?" Sheng Hanyu noticed his expression in the rearview mirror and asked.
"...I wanted to say that once I learn it, I can go to my racetrack to play, but I'm afraid my older sister will have a problem with it if she finds out..." Ye Jin'er said hesitantly.
Speaking of the eldest sister, her sharp tongue inexplicably disappears.
"Probably not, otherwise you wouldn't even have a racetrack," Ye Sanqing said. "I'm personally a little interested, but isn't it a bit too early to talk about racing when you can't even drive a car..."
“Racing is great. Even if you can’t drive, you can still watch it. I often go to watch races abroad. If you ever travel abroad, be sure to come find me and watch with us,” Mu Zimo suddenly interjected.
"Oh?" Ye Jin'er became interested. "Which kind of racing car are you talking about?"
Then the two began to chat enthusiastically, with Gong Yao listening attentively and occasionally chiming in.
With some free time, Ye Sanqing started checking her phone. She first replied to Jiang Wendong about the current situation before opening Weibo to read the messages.
As soon as I opened it, a barrage of notifications popped up...
Thankfully, her phone was on silent, otherwise she couldn't imagine how noisy it would have been.
"Master, I've already filtered out the useful information," the little bug said.
At this moment, Ye Sanqing felt that having a smart butler was quite nice!
Overall, there's really nothing to it; it's just a discussion about tonight's events.
People are used to forwarding and tagging her on Weibo posts to discuss them, so there seems to be a lot of news...
Of course, there are also those who like to stir things up and send her private messages; just ignore them all.
Now that the latest photos have been posted, the whole story is basically clear, with only a few die-hard Ye Wanyin fans making a fuss.
Although no official announcement has been made yet, people have already started praising Ye Sanqing as the nemesis of evil and the judge of the entertainment industry, sending two people to jail just for appearing on a variety show once...
Not to mention Pan Hongyu, who retired from the entertainment industry, and Ye Wanyin, who was injured...
Although the latter cannot be entirely attributed to Ye Sanqing...
"I understand 'Evil Buster,' but what is 'Judge'?" Ye Sanqing asked, catching a glimpse of an unfamiliar term.
The little bug immediately read aloud what it had found.
[How interesting, there's such a term.] Ye Sanqing wrote it down, deeply realizing that he didn't understand folk customs very well and needed to study more.
We arrived at the hotel quickly. It was a bit of a roundabout place, located in a small alley, and easily missed if you were driving from the main road.
"The environment is a bit basic, but the food is delicious, so please don't mind," Sheng Hanyu said after parking the car.
As soon as everyone got out of the car, they smelled the delicious aroma. They weren't that hungry before, but suddenly their appetites were whetted.
It turned out to be a barbecue restaurant. The restaurant wasn't big, with only two or three tables of customers inside. It seemed like there were just enough seats for them.
Sheng Hanyu greeted the owner familiarly and ordered the dishes.
"You really are a food connoisseur." Ye Jin'er felt a pang of nostalgia, realizing he hadn't been to this kind of small restaurant much since graduating from university.
"Not really, I just like eating and drinking, and I go to a lot of places," Sheng Hanyu said.
"He also likes fishing," Gong Yao said, pulling Ye Sanqing down to sit.
"Yes, yes, I love fishing the most," Sheng Hanyu replied perfunctorily. "I ordered a leg of lamb. Their whole roasted lamb is actually better, but the portion was a bit too much for the middle of the night, so I skipped it. I also ordered a lot of small skewers. They also have staple food here, so we can eat first and order more if we're still hungry."
Ye Sanqing was very satisfied with this and nodded.
As soon as the lamb leg was served, Ye Sanqing took a bite and immediately understood where Sheng Hanyu's recipe came from.
That's it!
Seeing her look as if she had realized something, Sheng Hanyu smiled. "A familiar taste?"
"Delicious." Ye Sanqing gave a thumbs up.
The group devoured the food without a care for their image.
A group of girls at the next table kept glancing over, and only cautiously came over to ask if they could take a photo together after they finished eating.
The group of people were all stunned for a moment, and then... they all looked at Ye Sanqing.
Ye Sanqing didn't yet have the real feeling of being a celebrity. "Why are you looking at me? I'm pretty good."
Since Ye Sanqing had no objections, then no one else had any objections either.
"Then I'll trouble you to take a picture, boss." Sheng Hanyu called the boss over to help.
“Take a picture with my phone too! Then I’ll send it to everyone,” Gong Yao said.
Several girls came over, their faces flushed, and everyone stood in their positions for a group photo.
Seeing that none of them seemed to be doing any promotional work, Gong Yao casually asked the girls if they needed a group selfie, but they all waved their hands and said they wouldn't bother them.
Then they walked out of the store and heard a small cheer behind them.
Ye Sanqing chuckled.
Fans...
Although I've experienced welcoming scenes many times before, this feeling... is subtle, with a touch of warmth, and quite different.
Ye Sanqing wondered, is this what it feels like to be a star?
On the way back, Mu Ziming volunteered to drive, but it turned out... he was the one who didn't have a domestic driver's license.
Gong Yao said, "Forget it, I'll drive it. That's fair!"
Mu Ziming turned around in frustration and saw Sheng Hanyu's somewhat mocking gaze, which made him even more frustrated.
As soon as they returned to the hotel lobby, Pei Canxing ran over and said, "You guys are so mean! You went to eat barbecue without me!!"
"I packed up your favorite handmade noodles for you," Sheng Hanyu said, holding up the bag in her hand.
Pei Canxing's anger was dispelled in less than a second.
Deng Lingxuan was also waiting in the lobby. As soon as she saw them return, she came up to them and asked in a low voice, "What... will happen to him?"
Ji Wan had actually told her not to trouble others, but Deng Lingxuan still... still cared a little.
"I'm not entirely sure; it depends on the court's final ruling," Ye Sanqing said.
Ye Sanqing paused for a moment, and seeing that Deng Lingxuan didn't seem to have any other questions, he walked past her.
“It’s definitely going to be a heavy sentence.” Someone Deng Lingxuan didn’t expect spoke up to her; it was Ye Jin’er.
"Three to ten years... He still has premeditated this. Be prepared." Ye Jin'er saw that she and Gao Feibai didn't get along, so she said a few more words, "If he targets my sister, our family won't let him off easily."
He was essentially saying it would definitely take ten years.
Of course, this cannot be said explicitly.
Ten years... Deng Lingxuan was stunned.
She never imagined that her cousin would do something so reckless.
Of course, she wouldn't ask Ye Sanqing for forgiveness, after all, her cousin's wickedness was obvious to all, but... he was perfectly fine yesterday, and today he's going to be imprisoned for ten years...
"Don't worry about him, worry about yourself instead," Mu Zimo said. "For him, going in might be a good thing."
"Wait a minute, what do you mean by that, Mr. Mu?" Deng Lingxuan sensed something was amiss in his words and hurriedly asked.
Mu Zimo glanced at Sheng Hanyu.
"Brother, you and Yao Yao should go back first, otherwise the noodles will get cold." Sheng Hanyu said to Pei Canxing and Gong Yao.
After they left, Sheng Hanyu said, "Teacher Deng, it would be best if Teacher Ji also knew about this. Do you think it would be convenient for us to go to his room and disturb him?"
Seeing their expressions and hearing Sheng Hanyu use a formal form of address again, Deng Lingxuan knew that the situation might be more serious than she had imagined, so she immediately sent a message to Ji Wan.
Ji Wan was waiting for them in the room. As soon as the door opened, he asked, "What is it?"
Gao Feibai has already gone in, so Ji Wan is the only one left in the room. Sheng Hanyu believes this is the best place to have a conversation.
He nodded to Mu Zimo before saying, "Teacher Ji, Teacher Deng, are you aware of Gao Feibai's parents' debts?"
