The young man who saved the young woman and posted the video was called Liang Ye.

At this mont, he was at the company, scrolling through the news with great joy.

After returning to the company, he found that the video he uploaded was like a drop of water into the ocean, creating hardly a ripple.

This depressed him, so he just focused on his work.

During a break to grab water, he checked on the video again.

Unexpectedly, the video had gone viral and even topped the trending searches.

Now, he was delighted.

Netizens had also dug up information on that middle-aged man, who was a big shot at the airport police station.

Just as he thought this big shot was dood, the news was quickly overshadowed by rumors about a young celebrity suspected of having a girlfriend.

As a person responsible for operations and promotions at an internet company, he sighed, knowing exactly what was happening.

The big shot had a strong backing and soone was cleaning up his ss.

What he didn’t expect was that the situation took another turn.

Superstar Lin Junyi even joined the discussion, along with countless other internet celebrities voicing their support.

This completely set off a firestorm across the entire network.

He knew this matter couldn’t be covered up any longer.

While he wondered if the young woman would contact him and if there could be further developnt between them, his phone suddenly rang.

The call was from an unfamiliar number.

Without much thought, Liang Ye answered the phone, "Hello."

A young man’s voice ca through, "Are you Liang Ye?"

Liang Ye asked, "Who is this?"

The young man said, "My surna is Chen, you can call Assistant Chen. If you agree to do one thing for , I will give you ten million. With ten million, you can buy a car and a house in Haicheng, even settle down there, no longer having to squeeze into a rented room, and you won’t have to leave Haicheng like other workers to go back to your hotown to live."

He was Tang Jinghuan’s assistant, intending to buy off Liang Ye and resolve the issue through him.

He wasn’t planning to reveal his identity, just to get the job done.

"Ten million!"

Liang Ye’s eyes widened, and his breathing beca sowhat hurried.

With his job, he was earning just over ten thousand a month.

After paying rent and accounting for daily expenses, there wasn’t much left.

He hadn’t even dared to dream of buying a house in Haicheng.

As for settling down in Haicheng, that was even less of a consideration.

His fate was like that of the majority of workers in this city, leaving their youth here and then returning to live in their small hotowns.

If he had ten million, he really could buy a car and a house in Haicheng.

Though money couldn’t buy a hukou, he could earn citizenship through a points system.

With his educational background, and if he had a car and a house in Haicheng, accumulating enough points wouldn’t make it difficult to beco a resident of Haicheng.

Then, he wouldn’t have to leave like most workers, he would beco a Haicheng local.

This was the dream of countless young people.

Such a dream had always seed so out of reach.

But today, there was this opportunity.

However, he knew there was no such thing as a free lunch.

The other party could offer him so much money, the task they wanted him to do must not be simple.

So, he asked, "What do you want to do?"

Assistant Chen smiled, "You posted a video of a middle-aged man pushing down a woman today. All you need to do is issue a statent saying the video you posted is fake. Rest assured, if you do this, we can guarantee that no one from the authorities will trouble you."

Liang Ye furrowed his brow.

Ten million was truly a huge temptation for soone like him.

Just by agreeing, he could change his life.

As for saying the video was fake, there would be at most a bit of guilt on his conscience.

He didn’t imdiately agree but instead turned to look at a colleague who was still busy promoting, "Old Guo, if soone offered you ten million to do a small deed that went against your conscience, would you do it?"

The colleague didn’t even have to think before saying, "Of course I’d do it, you’d have to be an idiot not to. How much is conscience worth anyway?!"

Hearing this, Liang Ye could only wryly smile.

Assistant Chen, on the other end of the phone, laughed when he overheard the conversation.

Ten million, not many people would refuse.

Moreover, it was just a small thing after all.

Then, Liang Ye’s voice was heard, "I’m sorry, I refuse."

"What did you say?" The assistant was stunned, almost doubting his own ears.

"I said I refuse. Don’t you fucking think you can suppress this matter!" Liang Ye chuckled, hung up the phone, put down his cellphone, and looked at the colleague beside him, "The person who just called offered ten million just to issue a statent saying the video I posted today was fake. I refused, and now I suddenly feel terrible, like I’ve missed a chance to turn my life around!"

The colleague knew about the video he had posted and had helped share it, too. His eyes widened at Liang Ye’s words, "Fuck, soone actually approached you and was willing to give you ten million. It seems the big shot at the airport police station has a strong backer. You shouldn’t feel bad, though. We may need money, but we can’t do things that go against our conscience.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to sleep peacefully for the rest of our lives!"

Liang Ye said speechlessly, "But a mont ago, you said how much conscience was worth."

"Who knew soone would actually offer you money," his colleague chuckled, grabbing Liang Ye’s shoulder, "You’re fucking aweso, dude. I’m proud of you!"

...

Assistant Chen, listening to the beeping on the phone, couldn’t snap out of it for quite so ti.

He just couldn’t understand why Liang Ye would refuse.

That was ten million.

For soone like Liang Ye, it was an unattainable amount.

One could say, that ten million could have changed Liang Ye’s life.

And what he was asked to do wasn’t anything like murder or arson, just to issue a statent that the video was fake. At worst, he’d be condemned by netizens for a bit, saying he was playing with their emotions.

To refuse such an offer!

He really couldn’t figure it out!

In the end, Assistant Chen could only say, "What a masochist, not knowing how to make money when it’s right there. Deserves to be a corporate slave for life!"

Unable to solve the problem from its root, he had to think of other solutions.

He went to report the situation to Tang Jinghuan.

Tang Jinghuan frowned, "He can’t be bribed? Is that guy an idiot?"

Assistant Chen gave a bitter smile, "People like him are destined to live at the bottom of society. I can’t do anything if he doesn’t want to."

Tang Jinghuan asked, "Is there another way?"

Assistant Chen said, "We can only use our official connections to protect Gao Yuanzhong again."

Tang Jinghuan thought for a mont, then nodded, "It seems we have no other choice."

Assistant Chen said, "Xu Yang did a good job with this. He must be trying to use this incident to take down Gao Yuanzhong, indirectly hurting us. If we can’t even protect Gao Yuanzhong, we’d be losing this skirmish. It would impact us, and even the people who work for us would start wondering if we could protect them if they ever get into trouble."

"Indeed," Tang Jinghuan nodded seriously, "I’ll make a call right away. We must save Gao Yuanzhong!"
