Chapter 431: Chapter 271: Went Overboard

What a fucking crazy night!

...

The next day, he didn’t wake up until after twelve, past noon.

He checked his phone. Someone had posted about last night’s antics on TikTok and Little Red Book, but it wasn’t making much of a splash. The comments section was mostly filled with people asking, "Are there more events like this? How do I join?"

Only a few comments were concerned... "Is the streamer out yet?"

His TikTok DMs, however, were blowing up.

Many of his female fans were messaging him, asking where he was hanging out lately, looking for a companion, asking to travel with him.

This...

Perfectly normal.

Lin Chu scrolled for a bit, slowly coming to his senses, his mind finally catching up with his body.

He heard the puppy whimpering, probably because it had been holding it in for too long and was desperate for the bathroom. He quickly scooped it up and took it outside to do its business.

The puppy was remarkably well-behaved. He had only trained it for two days, and ever since, it never relieved itself wherever it pleased.

On the green lawn by Erhai, the site of last night’s party had been completely cleaned up. The rain had washed everything away, the sun rose as usual, and not a single trace was left.

Staring blankly for a few seconds, Lin Chu thought about last night’s madness, and a faint smile touched his lips.

’That feeling... it really was pretty thrilling.’

’Dali is a great place.’

Then, Lin Chu remembered the "date" he had railroaded Bai Weiwei into for two o’clock this afternoon.

Tsk.

’To be honest, yesterday, he really had wanted to get with her.’

’But now, there was a new complication—he had arranged to have dinner with her dad tonight.’

Doing this kind of thing right under her father’s nose made Lin Chu feel a little guilty, like some kind of scumbag suitor.

’Besides, after what happened last night, who knew how low his image had sunk in Bai Weiwei’s eyes.’

"Sorry, I was out of line last night. Let’s just forget about that. Pretend I never said anything. Tonight, I want to thank your dad, so I’m treating him to dinner. You should both come."

Lin Chu casually sent the message to Bai Weiwei.

A few minutes later, once the puppy was done with its business and he was walking it back, Lin Chu received Bai Weiwei’s reply: "Hey now, what do you mean ’forget it’? I’m all ready to go. Don’t tell me you’re chickening out."

Her wording revealed a sly, mischievous streak.

Lin Chu: ...

"Woman, you’re playing with fire. Stop it, I’m scared, I’m scared."

Bai Weiwei: "No way! You have to come! Don’t chicken out. Believe in yourself. You can do it!"

Lin Chu: "What kind of game are you playing?"

Bai Weiwei: "Come and you’ll find out, won’t you?"

Lin Chu: "Not going! I’m unilaterally canceling!"

The more she insisted, the more Lin Chu felt something was off. Still, he was genuinely curious, but no matter how curious he got, he didn’t agree out loud.

"No way! Are you even a man!"

A smile touched Lin Chu’s lips as he casually replied, "Nope. Hey, sis."

Bai Weiwei: "..."

...

When Lin Chu got back to the guesthouse reception, he greeted the girl at the desk. Someone was checking in at that moment—a young couple. The man was handsome, the woman beautiful, and they both had an air of wealth about them.

They certainly looked rich, with a Louis Vuitton bag and a Patek Philippe watch.

But after a single glance, Lin Chu didn’t pay them much mind and headed straight for the dining area. His stomach was starting to rebel.

You Shaoqiang was currently observing Lin Chu’s expression.

Seeing how relaxed he was, holding his dog, apparently not recognizing him, You Shaoqiang inwardly relaxed a little.

He had sent people in advance last night to keep a stakeout on the area.

The men he sent had witnessed the entire sequence of events: Lin Chu throwing a party, getting hauled away, coming back, and then leaving at noon to walk his dog...

Therefore, taking advantage of this window of time, You Shaoqiang had deliberately engineered this "coincidental encounter."

Having already run all sorts of analyses on Lin Chu, his biggest worry lately was that Lin Chu might "reverse track" him, or get some kind of warning ahead of time.

Just this morning, he was still communicating with his two buddies at the bank and the police department, confirming that there had been no unexpected situations.

Now, seeing that Lin Chu clearly didn’t recognize him, he didn’t want to overdo it.

After all, a "coincidental encounter" like this was already quite deliberate and could easily arouse unnecessary suspicion.

"Hey, Lin Chu, you two are from the same place... This gentleman is also from Peng City."

The receptionist suddenly said with a smile.

You Shaoqiang: ?

’What the hell?’

’What’s with this receptionist?’

’How could she be so meddlesome?’

He was slightly stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered, putting on a surprised expression as he looked at Lin Chu with a smile.

"Hello there, buddy. You from Peng City?"

Lin Chu gave a casual nod. "Yeah."

’He was already used to the receptionist’s lack of boundaries.’

’And he wasn’t particularly interested in the person in front of him, either.’

"Hey, why do you look so familiar? I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before..."

You Shaoqiang started acting again. Since a conversation had been started, he might as well chat a bit more. In fact, the receptionist seemed to have created a great opportunity for him. It was a perfect chance to see what kind of person Lin Chu was.

’If he could pull him into the United Youth Association, that would be a good option too.’

’It would be even better if they could become friends.’

’After all, the more friends you had, the easier it was to get things done.’

’With Zhuang Yingcheng dead, the association needed more new blood.’

"Me... Haha, I guess I’m pretty well-known."

Lin Chu said with a modest laugh.

The receptionist chimed in again with a laugh. "He’s very famous! A huge streamer with tens of millions of fans, and the super-rich kind, too. He’s the boss of Peng City’s LC Group... a total tall, rich, and handsome type, right?"

She had already looked him up last night. Even though it was all public information, it was still eye-opening.

Lin Chu: ...’I’m speechless.’
