Chapter 143: Su Bai Rescues Half the Actresses in the Entertainment Industry
Watching Su Bai approach and open the car door step by step, Lin Zifeng felt as though he were on the verge of tears. He still could not forget the suffocating sensation he felt when Su Bai lifted him up in the hotel room earlier. He could not comprehend how a mere singer possessed such immense strength.
Su Bai pulled the car door open and immediately opened the second video on the phone. "Where else is this video stored?"
"How would I know? It’s not even my phone! I don't even know what’s going on with this video!"
"Huh?" Su Bai fixed an icy, piercing gaze upon Lin Zifeng. Lin Zifeng shuddered in terror. "I... I really don't know!"
Su Bai commanded the driver in the front seat, "Get out."
The driver looked back at Lin Zifeng, unsure of what to do. Su Bai slammed his hand against the car door, leaving a massive dent in the metal. "Get out!"
The driver was startled, yet he maintained a final shred of defiance—after all, Lin Zifeng was his boss. He turned to Lin Zifeng with an inquiring look. Just as Lin Zifeng was about to tell him not to leave, Su Bai spoke. "Either he gets out, or you do."
Lin Zifeng trembled violently and gestured for the driver to leave. The driver stepped out, looking visibly relieved.
"Can we talk properly now? Where else has this video been uploaded?" Su Bai demanded. "Where are the other backups? You had better not lie to me."
Lin Zifeng stammered, "Just... just this one copy!"
Su Bai quickly asked the system, "Do you have a skill that can detect if someone is lying?"
[System searching, please wait, Host!]
[Micro-expression Analysis Skill: Can judge whether someone is lying based on the movements of their facial features during speech.]
[Primary: 50,000 points. Scans facial features to make a judgment; 70% accuracy.]
[Intermediate: 100,000 points. Scans facial features, heart rate, and pulse to make a judgment; 90% accuracy.]
[Advanced: 200,000 points. Analyzes the body's entire physiological functions to make a judgment; 99.9% accuracy.]
Without a moment’s hesitation, Su Bai exchanged 200,000 points for the Advanced Micro-expression Analysis Skill. Given his vast reserves of points, this was barely a dent. Unless someone was professionally trained, even the primary skill would suffice to detect a lie.
With the intermediate skill, even a trained professional could not escape detection unless they could control their own heartbeat and pulse—a feat only legendary martial arts masters could achieve. And at the advanced level, the success rate was near-absolute. Su Bai was certain that no one could evade the scan of the advanced micro-expression analysis skill.
[Micro-expression Analysis Skill activated: Scanning facial features!]
[The subject is lying!]
Su Bai immediately stomped down on Lin Zifeng's leg. Lin Zifeng let out a pained, pig-like squeal.
"I’ll ask again: are there any other backups?"
"N-no!"
[System determination: The subject is lying!]
Su Bai stomped down again.
"Ah! Su Bai, are you crazy? You’re going to break my leg! I already told you there aren't any!"
Su Bai stared at Lin Zifeng, asking word by word, "Are there, or aren't there?"
Slowly, Su Bai applied pressure with his foot. Lin Zifeng trembled incessantly, his face turning deathly pale. "There are... they’re... they’re on the cloud drive!"
Watching intently, Su Bai ensured Lin Zifeng deleted the video from the cloud drive. He then asked again, "Any other backups? Has it been uploaded to any other platforms?"
Just as Lin Zifeng was about to answer, Su Bai cut him off. "This is your last chance. If you lie to me again, forget about keeping this leg... Don't think I won't do it; feel free to test me."
Lin Zifeng shook his head with great difficulty and looked at Su Bai with pleading eyes, hoping he would remove his foot from his leg. "There really aren't any more..."
[System determination: The subject is not lying!]
Seeing the system’s confirmation, Su Bai was satisfied. However, he still did not let go of Lin Zifeng. "Are there any other videos of Yang Xiaomi or Tong Xiaoya?"
"Still the same—this is your last chance."
Lin Zifeng felt as though his leg were about to snap. The piercing, agonizing pain was more than he could bear. "Yes... there is one of Yang Xiaomi, also on the cloud drive!"
[System determination: The subject is not lying!]
When Su Bai found the video on Lin Zifeng's cloud drive, he clicked delete immediately. He trusted Yang Xiaomi and had no desire to see what the video contained. He only cared about ensuring the videos would not be leaked.
However, upon seeing that the cloud drive contained not only videos of himself and Yang Xiaomi, but also those of many other celebrities, Su Bai’s eyes filled with undisguised disgust. There were even videos of Lin Zifeng with others in bed.
Su Bai had no interest in watching the other videos. He proceeded to log out and delete Lin Zifeng’s account entirely.
Lin Zifeng looked at Su Bai, heartbroken. "No... don't! I... I only watched them myself. I never leaked them to anyone!"
"Please, I beg you, don't..."
But Su Bai deleted the account anyway. Watching all those videos vanish in an instant, Lin Zifeng felt as if the best years of his life had been wiped away. These were the witnesses to his youth! And now, with a single, light tap from Su Bai, they were gone?
Many female celebrities in the entertainment industry owed Su Bai a debt of gratitude. Had this cloud drive been exposed, countless women would have had their reputations destroyed. Although he had only glanced at them, he had seen several shocking videos, with titles clearly naming some of the most prominent actresses in the industry.
Su Bai was not close to them, however, and saw no need to inform them.
"If I ever find out you are targeting Yang Xiaomi or Tong Xiaoya again, don't bother keeping that leg," Su Bai said before walking away.
Lin Zifeng remained, staring blankly at Su Bai’s departing figure, seemingly unable to awaken from the shock of having his videos deleted. As a wealthy heir, he was far from the debauched playboy that people like Zhao Hongbing were. While his status was lower than theirs, he still had the capital to be arrogant. His only hobby was playing games with the female celebrities he liked and capturing the "beautiful moments" on his phone. In his spare time, watching those videos brought him immense satisfaction.
But now, all his dreams and hopes had been ruthlessly crushed by Su Bai. At this moment, his heart felt utterly hollow.
