[Hahahahaha, look how scared he is. A perfectly lively and cheerful big boy, scared stiff like a quail.]
[Honestly, you can't blame him. After all, he thought he'd found true love in an online relationship, only for it to be a honeytrap scheme meant to lure people to their deaths. I'd jump even higher.]
[Sure enough, nine out of ten online relationships are scams, and the last one is illegal, hahahahaha!]
The netizens' stomachs ached from laughter. Although it wasn't very kind, they simply couldn't hold it back.
Anyway, since they were anonymous online, they unhesitatingly shed their personal decorum.
"G-Grand Master, w-what should I do?!"
The fated person was on the verge of tears. His once handsome face was now uglier than if he'd lost a child, utterly consumed by worry.
Ding-dong~ Just then, as if on cue, his "girlfriend," with whom he'd been chatting constantly, sent him a message. He glanced at it and saw the content in the message bar.
[Qing: Tong, I'm at the door. Are you in the room? Please open the door!]
"Ahhhhh, she sent a message!" The fated person howled in agony. At this moment, he wished he could punch his "instant reply" self from before.
He seemed afraid of being heard outside, so he dared not shout aloud, his emotions a textbook example of pantomime.
Yaoyao didn't leave him in suspense for long, quickly offering advice: "Big brother, now, call the police directly, then hide in the bathroom. Absolutely do not open the door!"
"And don't ignore her. Just say you're hungry and went to the supermarket downstairs to buy instant noodles!"
"Keep her stable. Don't let her become desperate."
The person coming wasn't alone. Moreover, because they were experienced, those accompanying her were all burly, large men.
They were immensely strong, and the fated person's physique was ultimately frail. If he opened the door, regardless of whether they discovered him, he wouldn't be able to escape the naked photos.
The fated person froze. He could understand sending messages to stabilize the other party. After all, the other party was an experienced honeytrap scammer. If he acted too abnormally, the scammer might run, making them difficult to catch.
But why hide in the bathroom? Could they really open the hotel room door?
"Okay, okay, I'll call the police now." But the fated person had no time to think further. He eagerly grabbed the phone beside the bed.
Just as he was about to dial, he was stopped.
Yaoyao said with a serious expression, "Big brother, don't use the landline. They'll find out."
"This..." The fated person's outstretched hand stiffened abruptly in mid-air.
He connected the dots. Just now, the Grand Master told him to hide in the bathroom. A possibility flashed through his mind like lightning, and his eyes instantly widened.
He asked tremblingly, "G-Grand Master, is... this hotel also compromised?"
His emotions surged, but his gaze remained fixed on Yaoyao. Then, as expected, he saw her slowly nod.
"Yes, it is. The owner was bought off long ago. Otherwise, why would your 'girlfriend' recommend this hotel?!"
Yaoyao's voice was crisp, but her words sent shivers down the entire live stream's spine.
[Holy crap, holy crap, fated person, you're truly a talent, you have no guard up at all!]
[If the Grand Master hadn't said anything, the fated person would have called the police, and the door would have opened. If he hadn't called the police, the door would have still opened. It's chilling. These scammers truly have many tricks.]
[Fated person, stay calm, don't panic, absolutely don't panic.]
Netizens also realized the seriousness of the situation. They knew the fated person must be terrified right now and dropped the idea of teasing him.
Because the phone in the room couldn't be used, and calling the police would mean the line would be busy and the live stream would have to hang up, the fated person became conflicted again, because he was scared!
The Grand Master wasn't there, and he felt uneasy.
Yaoyao comforted him: "Big brother, you call the police first. I can pull you back in later."
This live stream platform allowed for designated connections in addition to random ones, as long as both parties were online.
The fated person breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and nodded. "Okay, Grand Master, wait for me. I'll be back soon."
Before going offline, the fated person's reluctant expression truly made the live stream burst into laughter.
The fated person first listened to the Grand Master's words, then swiftly replied to the messages on his phone, trying to stabilize the other party.
[-: I was hungry just now, buying instant noodles at a nearby supermarket, darling. Wait for me at the door for a bit.]
[-: Oh right, is there anything you want to eat? Should I bring you something?]
The fated person recalled his usual chatting tone, trying hard not to reveal any flaws.
But even with his preparations, the reply he received from the other party sent shivers down his spine.
[Qing: Tong, are you really at the supermarket? How come your social media location shows you're only 0.01km from me? You're not lying to me, are you?!]
[Qing: Lying isn't a good habit, you know. Your nose might get cut off, Tong. Aren't you scared?]
The fated person gasped, a toothache-like coldness filling him.
They'd had conversations like this before. He used to think it was just "emotional play" between a couple, testing each other.
But after the Grand Master's revelation, the fated person clearly understood that this was absolutely not "emotional play." This woman was serious.
His mind raced. He didn't even dare to type into the input box, because that would trigger a notification in the message bar.
The fated person spent half a day deleting and retyping in his file assistant, finally squeezing out a "perfect" explanation.
He quickly copied, pasted, and sent it.
[-: How could I lie to you? I came all the way to Yin City just to see you. Oh, I actually found my favorite cucumber-flavored potato chips! I'm getting them, getting them.]
The fated person stared fixedly at the screen.
At this moment, he didn't dare to breathe. If he couldn't get past this step, calling the police would be useless, because it would also take time for the police to arrive.
Fortunately, he hadn't revealed any major flaws, and the other party reluctantly believed him. Seeing the message "Waiting for you, oh," the fated person almost jumped up in excitement.
He swiftly dialed the emergency number. Once the call connected, he rapidly explained his situation, like a laser gun firing.
Although there were many vague and unclear expressions, the crucial information was at least conveyed.
The police understood it was a honeytrap scheme and immediately agreed to dispatch officers.
After doing all this, the fated person felt utterly exhausted, his palms soaked with cold sweat.
He quickly went online to message the Grand Master. The Grand Master seemed to be waiting for him as well, and an invitation for a video call came through.
The fated person answered without hesitation, and the live stream screen split into two again.
Yaoyao glanced at the fated person who had reconnected. Just as she was about to say something, she was suddenly startled by the darkened area between his eyebrows.
Her expression changed, and she instantly began to calculate.
Once the divination was clear, her chubby little face immediately scrunched up like a steamed bun, and she said urgently, "Big brother, quick... quick, cover your mouth and nose!"
This sudden change made the fated person, who was about to deliver good news, instantly turn pale.
However, he didn't dare to ask why. He instinctively complied. Then, he looked at her expectantly.
