Chapter 153: Interference With Each Other
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
However, Ling Xuewei really had no other solution.
Although she wasn’t a big star, she was at least a little famous entrepreneur. She had a lot of interviews and publicity.
If she went to the hospital in her disheveled clothes and was recognized by others, who knew what would happen?
Even if someone said she was raped, that would be considered the least serious speculation.
At that time, she would not be able to explain it clearly.
Lin Bai understood Ling Xuewei’s concerns. He silently took off his coat and handed it to her. Then, he used the GPS to search for the nearest hotel.
Ling Xuewei braced herself and discussed with him.
“Don’t stay near here. Can you go further away? Many employees in the company live near here. I’m afraid that they will see us.”
Lin Bai sighed helplessly in his heart.
‘Alright, I’ll be a good person and help her till the end.’
“Then name a place,” Lin Bai said.
Ling Xuewei quickly went through it in her mind and said, “Is Riverside Resort okay? It’s neither too far nor near and it’s very private.”
After saying that, as if she was afraid that Lin Bai would misunderstand, she deliberately added, “I arranged for a client to stay there a few times before and that’s his feedback.”
Lin Bai did not care how she knew all this. He just silently entered the location into the navigation system and began the journey.
When he saw the distance of 20 kilometers, Lin Bai frowned slightly, but he still did not say anything. He silently drove according to the navigation route.
The silent atmosphere made Ling Xuewei very awkward. In addition, the destination was a resort villa, which made her even more uncomfortable.
She tried to speak a few times to ease the atmosphere, but she could not find a suitable topic to talk about. She could only shut her mouth silently.
In order to cover up this discomfort, Ling Xuewei pretended to fiddle with her phone and check her messages.
However, when she saw the V message that Lin Bai had sent to her earlier, she could not help but be stunned.
This was because the content of the message was not a reply to the sales plan, but a warning.
[Don’t go to the underground parking lot!]
This was the message that she didn’t have time to read when she was attacked by Wang Hao.
The warning and the attack appeared almost at the same time. Even though Ling Xuewei was already used to Lin Bai’s “prediction” ability, she was still shocked.
“You predicted that something would happen to me?” She asked.
Lin Bai was obviously stunned for a moment, but then he reacted. He nodded and said, “Yes.”Then he didn’t say anything more.
He had indeed seen the news feed in advance.
However, this time was different from before.
In the past, when major news would happen, notifications from the news app would pop up in advance in the future.
Then, he would tap on it and look at it carefully. According to the time and events in the news, he would make corresponding changes to prevent the disaster from happening.
But this time, when he clicked on the pop-up window, he only saw a blank space.
It was like a web page that couldn’t be loaded. There was nothing there.
If it were any other software, Lin Bai wouldn’t have thought much of this.
It was nothing more than refreshing a few times and finding a place with a good signal. If it really didn’t work, then forget it.
However, the problem was that the Future News app wasn’t an ordinary app.
The fact that it appeared to be stuck made Lin Bai instinctively feel that things were not that simple.
In fact, he was very uneasy, worried that this was a sign before the app disappeared.
Although he was already mentally prepared to suddenly lose the Future News app one day in the future, he couldn’t help but feel a little anxious when he really saw that the app had malfunctioned.
He tried all kinds of methods repeatedly, but he still couldn’t open the notification normally.
Even the local news page couldn’t be opened at one point.
The notification that popped up before that was just a title.
It said, “The CEO of Soaring Phoenix Real Estate has been attacked in the underground parking lot.”
Other than that, there was no other information.
The exact time and reason of the attack were unknown.
Therefore, Lin Bai could only send a message to warn Ling Xuewei not to go to the underground garage, and then follow his instincts to rush there personally.
However, his warning was obviously too late.
Or rather, the notification from the Future News app was already too late.
In the past, no matter how tight the time was, the notification would have appeared at least a few hours earlier, giving Lin Bai the opportunity to change the situation.
And this time?
Lin Bai estimated that it had only been brought forward by one or two minutes at most.
What could one or two minutes change?
If it was too late to make a change, what was the difference between a notification and no notification?
Previously, Lin Bai was worried that the app’s ability had declined.
However, after absorbing Wang Hao’s app, Lin Bai casually looked at his Future News app and it had already returned to normal.
This meant that the previous malfunction was not due to the decline of the app’s power, but due to the interference between the two powers.
Just like when electromagnetic devices interfered with each other, neither would be able to operate normally.
Only when the distance between them was far enough, or one of them broke down and the interference disappeared, could things return to normal.
This was not a good sign.
God knows how many people in this city still had the ability to predict things.
God knows how many more times such disturbances would appear.
All of these made Lin Bai very annoyed, so much so that on the way to the Riverside Resort, he kept his head low.
Ling Xuewei lay in the back seat. She couldn’t see the expression on his face, but she could feel the atmosphere in the car.
She didn’t know why Lin Bai was so annoyed, so she couldn’t help but let her imagination run wild, worrying if it was related to her.
At this time, Lin Bai had already driven the car to the place.
Ling Xuewei gritted her teeth and sat up. She simply tidied up her hair and wrapped Lin Bai’s coat around her self to cover her torn clothes.
Although her image was still a little embarrassing, at least it was much better than before. It was not to the extent of letting others make wild guesses.
She forced herself to get out of the car and thanked him with a smile, “Mr. Lin, thank you for sending me here. I can go in by myself. This place is too far from the city. It’s inconvenient without a car. You can just drive my car back.”
“Thank you for sending me all the way here. Sorry for the trouble.”
Lin Bai locked the car silently and held Ling Xuewei’s arm as they walked into the lobby.
“Uh, you…”
Ling Xuewei was so flustered that she didn’t know what to say.
The awkwardness and uneasiness that she had managed to suppress along the way were all surging up at this moment.
Ling Xuewei felt that her face was burning up.
Lin Bai said expressionlessly, “There’s no hospital nearby. I’ll heal you.”
Ling Xuewei’s mind buzzed, and she felt like she was about to explode.
A man and a woman staying together in a hotel, and the place where she was injured was her tailbone. ‘This, this, this…’
Just imagining it made Ling Xuewei feel extremely awkward.
“No, no need. I’ll be fine after resting for a few days,” Ling Xuewei said with a forced smile.
However, Lin Bai said, “Acupuncture can help you get better faster. At the same time, it can prevent any side effects. You don’t want it to hurt when it rains, do you?”
Ling Xuewei did not listen to the rest of the words.
She only heard the keyword.
Acupuncture.
