Can he protect his loved ones, lovers, and friends from being violated?

The answer is basically no.

These thoughts were like a thousand-pound boulder that weighed down heavily on Lin Bai’s heart, making him unable to relax for even a moment.

Suddenly, an almost inaudible notification sound rang out on the phone.

It was the sound of the Future News app.

Lin Bai’s heart trembled as he looked down in surprise. f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎

However, he only saw a nearly transparent message pop-up window.

In the blink of an eye, even the pop-up window had completely disappeared.

It was as if everything was an illusion and had never existed.

However, Lin Bai was sure that the message pop-up window had really appeared.

The Future News app had tried to transmit some information to him.

Unfortunately, due to the interference from his superpower, Lin Bai couldn’t see anything.

But this at least proved that the Future News app didn’t really disappear, but was suppressed to a completely transparent level.

So as long as the interference disappeared, the Future News app should be restored, and everything would return to its original state.

Lin Bai didn’t really lose it.

Then, the problem came. How could he get rid of Wang Chenyu as soon as possible so that the Future News app could return to its original state?

Lin Bai didn’t have a clue for a moment.

He knew too little about Wang Chenyu, and he didn’t know if Wang Chenyu had any trump cards other than his superpower.

It wasn’t wise to act rashly.

“Forget it. If I can’t think of anything, I’ll forget about it for the time being. I’ll buy a car first.”

Lin Bai took a deep breath and tried his best to ease his emotions. He didn’t want to be immersed in stress and anxiety all the time.

Moderate stress could bring motivation, but if the stress was too great, it would only bring more harm.

Lin Bai tried his best to get rid of all the distracting thoughts in his mind. He opened Didi to fill in the target location and started to call for a car.

Soon, someone received the order and rushed over to Lin Bai’s side.

Lin Bai put away his phone and waited. He casually glanced across the road and found a very inconspicuous lottery station.

This was the suburbs, where there were relatively few people. The surroundings were basically all resort hotels and lodgings.

The small lottery station, which was sandwiched between a bunch of resort hotels and lodgings, looked very out of place.

Few people who would come here to spend money would buy lottery tickets.

“I really don’t know what the boss is thinking. He actually opened a shop here. He must be out of his mind.”

Lin Bai ridiculed casually. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. Before the taxi arrived, he trotted across the road.

He walked straight into the lottery station.

“Boss, give me a lottery ticket,” Lin Bai said.

The boss was an old man in his sixties or seventies. He was taking a nap with the newspaper in his hands. When he heard Lin Bai’s words, he instantly became spirited.

“You want to buy lottery tickets, right? How much do you want to buy? Do you want to raise the stakes?”

Lin Bai shook his head and said, “No. Just give me the most ordinary one.”

The boss instantly lost interest and casually pointed at the QR code beside him.

“Two dollars.”

Lin Bai scanned the code and paid up.

The boss raised his chin and said unhappily,

“The machine is over there. Choose your own number.”

Lin Bai did not care about his attitude. He walked straight to the machine and prepared to pick his number.

He wanted to rely on his intuition, but on second thought, since it was to verify his luck, he might as well choose the machine.

Therefore, he had the lottery machine randomly generate a set of numbers. After the lottery ticket was printed, he put it into his pocket without even looking at it.

The taxi he had called for just now had arrived and?it just happened to stop at the entrance of the lottery station.

“Looks like my luck is pretty good.”

Lin Bai thought to himself and went straight out of the door and into the car.

In the car, the driver was just about to call him when he saw him get into the car. He could not help but be stunned.

Then, he confirmed, “The ending number is 9385. Is that Mr. Lin?”

“Yes.”

The driver smiled. “I saw that there was no one on the side of the road. I was just about to call you. I didn’t expect you to be inside. I just happened to stop at the entrance. What a coincidence.”

Lin Bai smiled and nodded. “Yeah, it’s quite a coincidence.”

The driver continued to chat. “You’re going to the car dealership, right? To buy a car?”

“I’m going to see if there’s a suitable one first.”

Actually, Lin Bai didn’t know what car to buy either. He could only say that he knew a little about this aspect.

Moreover, considering that he still had to keep a low profile and not be too ostentatious in school, he couldn’t buy a car that was too expensive.

The driver laughed and joked, “You just bought the lottery ticket, and you’re already looking at cars before the lottery draw. Isn’t that a little too rushed?”

Lin Bai smiled faintly. “I’m just bored and buying a car for fun. How can I count on this to get money to buy a car?”

The driver laughed and said, “Hahaha, I’m just joking. Don’t take it to heart.”

“I used to buy lottery tickets often too. I bought them for seven or eight years. If I calculate it, it would cost at least 100,000.”

Lin Bai followed up by asking, “Have you ever won the lottery?”

“Won my ass!”

The driver said angrily, “I get angry when I think about it. Why can’t I do something else with that much money? Isn’t it good to buy ribs??This thing is just to fool the people. There is no grand prize. It’s pure nonsense!”

“There are always people on the internet who say that those so-called grand prize winners are actually their insiders who are pretending. They are trying to create an illusion for the people that they can get rich overnight so that everyone can continue to throw money into it.”

“I never believed it in the past, but now I understand. What the Internet says is right. There aren’t so many people who can become rich overnight and win the lottery. It’s all nonsense!”

“Buddy, I advise you to try your best not to touch this stuff. Why waste your money?”

Even after so many years, when he mentioned the money that he had wasted, the driver’s face was still full of heartache.

He was originally just casually chatting with Lin Bai out of boredom while driving but as they chatted, he couldn’t help but become serious.

The rest of the journey was basically spent in his complaints and persuasion.

The complaints were about lottery tickets and shady deals and injustice. f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂

As for persuasion, of course, it was to persuade Lin Bai to come to terms with reality as soon as possible and stop daydreaming about winning the lottery. He should just save up and do something meaningful with his money.

Lin Bai answered without much thought.

Although he didn’t agree with the driver’s view that the lottery tickets were all lies, Lin Bai felt a little touched by the driver’s earnest advice.

They were just strangers who met by chance, yet the driver was willing to spend so much time persuading him. It was enough to show that he was really warm-hearted.

Out of his gratitude and out of his sympathy for the driver who had lost more than 100,000 yuan, Lin Bai conveniently stuffed the lottery ticket to the driver when he got off the car.

The driver did not expect Lin Bai to be like this. He was completely stunned.

“Buddy, what are you doing?”

Lin Bai smiled and said, “This is the lottery ticket that I just bought. I’ll give it to you as a gift.”

The driver said awkwardly, “I haven’t touched this thing for many years. Besides, if I really win the lottery...”

Lin Bai didn’t wait for him to finish his sentence and interrupted him with a smile.

“If you really win it, it’s all yours.”
