Future News: My Phone Mutated

Chapter 73: Never Let a Tragedy Happen Again!

When he was in the factory, Lin Bai had to catch the reporter who had secretly taken the photo and delete the photo on the other party’s phone no matter what.

It was to prevent his appearance from appearing in the news.

Lin Bai did not want to let everyone know that he was already worth tens of billions so quickly.

He did not want to attract too much attention and disrupt the current stable life.

He was also worried that his parents’ lives and work would be disturbed.

After all, his parents were only ordinary people. If they suddenly knew that he had tens of billions, it would scare them.

Unfortunately, not only was it photographed but it was also trending. Almost everyone around him would have the chance to see it.

Although it was only his back view, anyone who was really familiar and close to him would still be able to recognize him even if they saw only his back view.

If it was only his back view, he could still forcefully explain that there were similarities between people.

However, with Luo Yang by his side, he couldn’t even believe himself if he used such an excuse to explain.

Lin Bai’s mood was very depressed. He felt that all the efforts he had put in to conceal this had become meaningless.

Luo Yang felt that something was wrong with the aura. He stretched his neck to take a look and was dumbfounded.

“F*ck! When did we get secretly photographed?”

Lin Bai said, “It should be when we left the factory. From the background of the photo, it should be that small alley.”

Luo Yang said in annoyance, “Why didn’t I notice it at that time! If I had noticed it earlier and deleted his photo, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.”

Lin Bai said, “Since things have come to this, there’s no point in talking about it anymore.”

“The most important thing now is to think of how to explain it to my parents and Yu Jinmo.”

“I don’t want them to know everything so soon.”

Luo Yang also felt troubled.

Because the photo was taken too clearly.

Not to mention Lin Bai’s parents and Yu Jinmo, even if they were just classmates, those who were more familiar with each other would be able to recognize them at a glance.

So there was no reason why Lin Bai’s parents and Yu Jinmo couldn’t recognize them.

Luo Yang said, “The photo has already been trending. It’s impossible to not let them see it.”

“Then we can only say that it’s a coincidence and then think of a way to divert their attention so that they don’t dwell on this problem.”

Lin Bai thought about it and indeed, it was the only way. There was no better way.

“Then what should we use to divert their attention?”

Lin Bai muttered to himself, asking both Luo Yang and himself.

This really stumped Luo Yang.

“About that… I haven’t figured it out yet.”

Lin Bai didn’t have a clue either.

At this moment, the Future News app suddenly popped up another news feed.

[Major incident! A man in S City committed a crime in the downtown area, causing 21 deaths and 37 injuries!]

“F*ck!”

Lin Bai couldn’t help but cry out when he saw this post.

Luo Yang curiously craned his head, wanting to see what had shocked Lin Bai so much.

Fortunately, Lin Bai’s reaction was fast enough to block the screen first, so he didn’t expose the secret.

This was the first time Luo Yang felt that Lin Bai was hiding something from him.

Coupled with Lin Bai’s reaction just now, it made him even more curious.

“Boss, what did you receive? Could it be insider news?” Luo Yang asked curiously.

“No.”

Lin Bai made up a random reason and said, “The news was sent by the family. A relative did something stupid.”

“Oh.”

When Luo Yang heard that it was Lin Bai’s family matter, he didn’t ask further.

After all, Lin Bai’s reaction just now was very obvious. He didn’t want others to probe too much.

So Luo Yang simply found an excuse to avoid it so that Lin Bai could deal with his family matters in peace.

“I’m a little thirsty. I want to buy a bottle of water. Do you want it?”

“No,” Lin Bai said.

“Okay, then I’ll go by myself.”

Lin Bai saw that Luo Yang had gone far away, so he let out a sigh of relief. He opened the Future News app feed and carefully looked at the content.

However, when he looked at it, he felt the blood all over his body rush to his head.

The first photo of the deceased in the news was of his father!

Lin Bai felt as if his mind was buzzing. He didn’t even know how he had finished reading the news.

The news said that the man who committed the crime in the downtown area was deliberately taking revenge on society.

Because he had taken out a loan to buy a house, he had spent almost all his savings. In the end, the development of the house was half-finished.

Several years had passed, and the house had been in the middle of development. There was no way to live in it.

Moreover, the developer had a deep background. The owners could not defend their rights and could only suffer a loss.

However, the bank did not care whether they lived in it or not. The mortgage had to be paid back every month.

As a result, the owners could only spend money to rent a house and pay back the mortgage every month. The financial pressure was especially great.

The murderer was in the same situation before. Although he was struggling, he could at least make ends meet.

Not long ago, he was diagnosed with terminal-stage cancer.

However, he was so poor that he could not even afford painkillers, let alone the high medical fees.

The first person he hated was naturally the unscrupulous developer.

If the house was not half-built, he would have been able to move to a new house. He would not need to rent an additional house, and the financial pressure would be much less.

Moreover, he would not have had to work overtime to pay for the double housing expenses, and he would not have been unable to pay for his illness.

He felt that the unscrupulous developer had caused all the tragedies and wanted to die together with the developer’s boss.

Unfortunately, the other party was extremely careful, and he did not have the opportunity to do so.

In his depression and despair, this resentment slowly developed into hostility toward the entire society.

That was why this tragedy happened.

He deliberately drove his car into people in the busiest downtown area during the off-duty rush hour with the twisted mentality of “Kill one and you win, kill two and you win.”

He knocked down several pedestrians in a row. After the car stalled, he took out the machete that he had prepared beforehand and got out of the car to chase after the passersby.

By the time the police arrived at the scene and subdued him, he had already killed 21 people.

The other 37 people who were injured were mostly seriously injured and their lives were hanging by a thread.

This was the deadliest and most terrible incident in the history of S City.

Just looking at these descriptions, Lin Bai felt a chill run down his spine.

He could not imagine how bloody and terrifying the scene was.

He only had one thought in his mind, and that was that he had to stop all of this. He absolutely could not let the events in the news become a reality!

Even if it was not for the sake of the victims he did not know, just for the sake of his father, he had to seize control of the murderer before he acted!

He could not let the tragedy happen again!
