Chapter 219 The Inevitable Drinking Culture
Li Ran was still very scared. He was afraid of fines and detention.
Of course, he was worrying too much. His behavior now can only be said to have violated the law, but it has not crossed the red line.
After all, the impact is not great, and there are prescribed standards for fines.
"You delete all the videos you posted and clarify that if there is no further major impact, that's it. But if the impact expands, you may face a fine."
After Liu Ming's reminder, Li Ran nodded repeatedly and said that he would delete all the videos immediately.
When he got back into the car, Lin Yi never expected that he could get the information about the mastermind so easily.
"The person who gave the money is really stingy. He only gave thirty dollars for making a video."
Lin Yi couldn't help but complain that he paid the college students who helped him find videos ten yuan for each video.
Liu Ming sent this social account to the police on duty in the police station and asked them to check who the owner of this account was.
But the unexpected result was that this was a zombie account without real-name authentication, and the account that transferred money to Li Ran was also a shell company.
"So professional?"
Lin Yi was also shocked after hearing this. It was just a rumor, but it turned out to be as professional as some large-scale fraud group.
"It seems that we have to wait until tomorrow when we officially go to work and send someone to check it out."
Liu Ming was not panicked. He thought that if he investigated such things, he would definitely find out the truth. It was just a small rumor.
It would be a joke if the police couldn't even do this.
"Let's go to Mingzhu next door and find Gu Hao to see who is behind this."
If you just feel unhappy and want to discredit "Geek" as an emerging car company, there is no need to post hundreds of videos.
People like Li Ran and Gu Hao must have taken money and were instructed by others.
It takes just over an hour to drive from Sucheng to Mingzhu on the highway.
Because the investigation was done out of town, Lin Yi and Liu Ming first visited the director of the Eastern New District of Mingzhu City and asked him to troublesomely find out Gu Hao's address before setting off.
Gu Hao was similar to Li Ran. He confessed everything very quickly, but he used another social media account.
And the prices are also different. Gu Hao gets paid fifty yuan for making a video.
Lin Yi also admires the person behind the scenes. This kind of thing requires different rewards depending on the region.
The consumption in Mingzhu City is higher than that in Su City, so the compensation given to Gu Hao is unprecedentedly higher.
It was already dark when they came out from Gu Hao's place. Lin Yi sent a message to Luo Qinghan telling him that he would not be going back for dinner.
Afterwards, he accompanied Liu Ming to invite the local police chief to dinner. Since he had asked him for help, he had to thank him and give him a gift in return.
As the host, Lin Yi naturally had to drink with the guests.
Liu Ming didn't drink, so when they went back, it was Liu Ming who drove the car.
When Liu Ming sent Lin Yi to the gate of the community, he was still a little worried.
"Lin Yi, are you okay? How about I take you upstairs?"
Lin Yi waved his hand and hesitated for a long time before speaking: "It's okay, it's just a few steps away. I'm sorry to bother you today, Uncle Liu."
After staggering for a while, Lin Yi finally reached the stairs.
"This wine has a strong aftereffect."
Lin Yi, this skinny little monkey, has a very low alcohol tolerance. He drank three glasses of white wine in the evening. He didn't feel anything at the time, but his whole body was burning.
But afterwards I felt more and more uncomfortable, with the alcohol rushing to my head.
Lin Yi held onto the wall, feeling more and more uncomfortable. Finally, he couldn't help but vomit a lot. He finally felt better and staggered into the elevator.
Luo Qinghan in the room had just finished taking a shower and was blow-drying his hair, looking a little depressed.
Suddenly Garfield, who was sitting on the sofa, cried out.
"Meow--"
At first Luo Qinghan didn't pay much attention to it, she just thought the cat was yawning. But Garfield meowed several times, which made her realize that something was wrong.
The cat is definitely not meowing because it is hungry. It has already eaten its food into a ball.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Luo Qinghan put the hair dryer aside and looked at Garfield in confusion.
"Meow."
Garfield called again, then walked up to the door and touched it.
"What happened to the door?"
Luo Qinghan was very confused. The noise from the hair dryer was still there, but she didn't notice anything.
It was not until she turned it off that she heard a slight click from the door.
Luo Qinghan's first reaction was that there was a thief or a robber, which made her heart tremble.
But she soon realized that no, because this is a high-end residential complex, and anyone who wants to enter or exit must be the owner or the owner's family member whose data has been recorded by facial recognition.
"Who could it be? How can you knock on the door like that? This is obviously the sound of a key being inserted."
Luo Qinghan was a little confused and did not rush to open the door. Instead, he walked to the peephole in front of the door and looked through it.
Then she was shocked and opened the door immediately, and saw Lin Yi, who was reeking of alcohol and had a red face.
"What are you doing standing at the door?"
Lin Yi's hands were shaking, and he was dizzy, so he couldn't insert the key into the keyhole.
"I was a little dizzy, so I couldn't open the door successfully."
Lin Yi is now forcing himself to stay awake and walk, he feels like he may fall down at any time.
Luo Qinghan didn't care that he had just finished taking a shower and immediately helped Lin Yi to the sofa.
"Aren't you the one driving? Why are you so drunk?"
"Uncle Liu drove us back, and I drank a little with Director Wang."
After sitting down again, Lin Yi no longer had the strength to stand up, and his whole body was in a state of weakness.
"He didn't just drink a little, he's already drunk like this."
Luo Qinghan stood up in a hurry: "Wait a moment, I'll make you a cup of sobering tea."
She quickly ran to the kitchen, took out the tea leaves given by Lin Ye, boiled hot water and poured it into the teacup. After it was brewed, she added some cold water so that Lin Yi could drink it.
Returning to the sofa, Luo Qinghan lifted up Lin Yi's head: "Drink a few sips, otherwise you will always feel uncomfortable."
Lin Yi frowned and took several sips before he finally felt a little relieved from his dizziness.
"How are you now?"
"Much better. Let me lie here for a while. I'll take a shower later."
Lin Yi spoke weakly while lying on the sofa.
"Why did you drink so much? You don't need to drink if you feel drunk."
Luo Qinghan had seen Lin Yi drink several times, but only this time did he smell so strongly of alcohol.
"I can't help it. I asked for help. I can't refuse a toast. I can only drink with them. That's how it is here."
To put it more clearly, this is the drinking culture.
Seeing Lin Yi feeling uncomfortable, Luo Qinghan felt distressed.
After resting for a while, Lin Yi planned to take a shower, but Luo Qinghan was worried. She was afraid that Lin Yi would fall in the bathroom like this.
"Just sit here for a while. I'll give you a quick wash with hot water."
