29: Xinxin baby, tidal ritual case?

"Why are you back!?"

Zhu Yuxin was indeed fine after being hit by a car that night, but she felt incredibly frustrated.

The next day, she returned to the company, wanting to see if Bai Yu had come in, to vent her anger. To her surprise, Bai Yu had resigned!

She thought her pressure had scared him into not daring to show up, and she felt quite smug.

But then, Bai Yu came back, which naturally made her emotional.

However, realizing she was live, Zhu Yuxin immediately composed herself and said gently to the 'big brothers' in the live stream: "It's that editor who resigned; now he's back at the company, just freeloading."

Bai Yu looked speechlessly at the plump woman, Zhu Yuxin.

What the heck!

What kind of personality is that? Didn't he delete the video? Was missing one frame in the edit a capital offense?

Besides, you were on the original list of victims!

Your pathetic life was actually saved by me.

Thinking of this, Bai Yu didn't back down and loudly said: "Indeed, all that fat is still somewhat useful. You were hit by a car, and you can still jump around like this."

When Zhu Yuxin heard him mention her fat, she instantly bristled, about to rush at Bai Yu, but Bai Yu grabbed her right hand and, with a slight pull, made her stumble forward.

Then, Bai Yu picked up the dropped phone and said to the over three hundred viewers: "Can't you have some taste, drooling over a 170-pound fatty?"

After speaking, he ended the live stream.

But the fan group exploded.

"170 pounds!? Is that true or false?"

"Is that the point? The point is this young man is too arrogant! He actually hit someone in front of so many of us. Is there no law!?"

"Exactly! We must cyberbully him! Make him know his place."

"Protect Xin Xin Baby!"

Liu Feifei, who was behind them, naturally saw Bai Yu dealing with Zhu Yuxin.

A strange thought popped into her head from somewhere, and she exclaimed: "Is this how you treat your ex-girlfriend?"

At these words, Zhu Yuxin, who was sitting on the ground, bristled: "Girlfriend? Dreaming! That toad wants to eat swan meat, ugly and a player!"

Liu Feifei, however, completely embraced the drama, saying: "How many women have you gotten into trouble with outside, kid?"

"...Feifei Jie, that joke isn't funny."

"Alright, alright, pfft~ I won't say anymore."

Bai Yu was already annoyed by his cousin's matter. He didn't expect to run into Zhu Yuxin again that night.

Fortunately, he had no psychological barriers when dealing with Zhu Yuxin. It just so happened that he didn't stir up trouble, wasn't afraid of trouble, and now that his status was higher, he didn't need to worry too much about his actions.

At this moment, he actually felt relieved.

If her live stream was ruined, she deserved it!

It was only because of the law of the jungle that she picked on the wrong person.

At this moment, Li Yunbin and the general manager, among others, also walked over.

They immediately saw Zhu Yuxin sitting on the ground.

The general manager's first thought: Could it be that this woman was behind the strange noises?

He definitely thought that the Investigation Bureau agents wouldn't act without reason.

Li Yunbin glanced at Bai Yu, who scratched his head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Li Yunbin looked at the streamers in the hallway looking their way, many of whom were still live streaming on their phones.

He frowned and said to the general manager beside him: "Tell them to turn off their live streams."

"Yes, yes."

"Everyone, turn off your live streams!"

With the general manager's command, these seemingly influential streamers could only go offline.

And Zhu Yuxin, sitting on the ground, was stunned.

Although her temper was a bit bad, her mind wasn't crippled.

What was going on?

Why was the general manager listening to that young man? And Bai Yu seemed to be with him.

As she thought this, the general manager calmly swept his gaze over Zhu Yuxin, thinking to himself: 'What kind of trouble did this woman cause?'

'She didn't provoke the Investigation Bureau people, did she? Is she that brainless!?'

He needed to get the people here to leave quickly, lest a few more clueless individuals appear.

"Due to special circumstances today, you can all leave early."

Hearing this, everyone dispersed.

This world was not like his previous life; small streamers dared not be arrogant in front of companies.

Otherwise, their account usage rights would be directly revoked, and they wouldn't be allowed to stream during their contract period, cutting off their income directly.

They would also remain unknown thereafter.

However, as Xin Xin Baby was about to leave, Bai Yu spoke up: "Wait a moment, did I tell you to leave?"

He had just been called a toad; would he let it go so easily? He wasn't that good-tempered!

Li Yunbin saw this and did not stop him.

The general manager, however, was a bit nervous, afraid that this female streamer had caused some major trouble that would implicate the company.

He knew about the Spiritual Qi resurgence and understood the power and status of the Investigation Bureau.

Xin Xin Baby, seeing that the situation was not right, no longer dared to be arrogant and said with some fear: "You, what do you want to do?"

"I'm guessing you'll go back and talk nonsense, slandering me in various ways, won't you?"

"No, I won't."

"Just saying it isn't enough. I need you to apologize for tonight's incident in all your groups, and also post an apology video on your account."

After speaking, Bai Yu looked at the captain with a normal expression and said: "Captain, is this alright?"

"Of course, as long as you're not in the wrong in this matter."

"I just didn't notice that one frame lost its beauty filter when I was helping her edit clips... She even rushed to the editing team to find me when I was working before. After I resigned, I thought this matter was over. But now, she's acting like this, calling me a toad, so I won't tolerate it."

Liu Feifei pouted slightly upon hearing this and said: "So that's what it was about."

"Mm."

After speaking, Bai Yu had an expression as if he had just remembered something and said to Zhu Yuxin: "Oh right! I think besides apologizing, you should clearly explain your true colors. Don't go creating another drama about being forced by power."

Xin Xin Baby? I'll turn you into a pig! (A play on words, making her name sound like 'pig pig stupid')

After hearing the process, Li Yunbin also looked at the general manager and calmly said: "Can you arrange it? If not, our Investigation Bureau can take responsibility."

"Of course! Of course! The company will absolutely supervise it strictly."

After speaking, the general manager let out a huge sigh of relief. At least it didn't escalate further! He had attended banquets more or less and knew the true status of Li Yunbin and Qin Wanqing... It wasn't as simple as just being investigators.

Then, Xin Xin Baby walked away in a panic.

This was just a small interlude.

A normal person might choose to tolerate verbal conflicts, but Bai Yu simply wasn't that easygoing!

After the people left, Zhao Bin took out a small instrument, which displayed a flowing graph.

Following the Spiritual Qi, they arrived at the rooftop.

About 8 meters above the rooftop was the location of the Spiritual Qi rift.

The instrument clearly showed that a large amount of Spiritual Qi was gushing out from within the rift.

Zhao Bin also assessed: "The rift size is at least five times larger than the last detection, which is an extremely abnormal growth rate."

Bai Yu asked curiously: "Are there any disadvantages if the Spiritual Qi rift gets bigger?"

"That brings us to the fundamental source of Spiritual Qi rifts."

"According to current research speculation, some Spiritual Qi rifts originate from the Void, in layman's terms, we don't know where they come from, but they do provide Spiritual Qi to our Blue Star."

"However, some rifts connect to other realms, and otherworldly creatures invade Blue Star through these rifts."

"In reality, besides urban security battles, in the more Spiritual Qi-rich and vast wilderness areas, there have already been incidents where hundreds or thousands of alien creatures surged out of rifts and invaded Blue Star."

Hearing this, the first thing Bai Yu thought of was the boastful words he had seen in the group chat before, saying that 'Zhou Gang once fought against thousands of alien creatures during his time in the military.'

This... it was actually true!

Then they began to discuss how to deal with this Spiritual Qi rift.

From the current situation, this Spiritual Qi rift seemed to have some issues. And since it was located in a media company building, any slight disturbance could spread online, with too wide an impact.

However, this kind of matter was not a case, nor could a conclusion be reached in the short term.

While Zhao Bin was analyzing various data, Bai Yu fell into thought.

He thought of the information he had seen in Li Yunbin's personal file.

Yunhu Serial Murder Case, Odd Gods' Devotee Tide Ritual Case, Scarlet Blood Pool Case.

Could this Spiritual Qi rift be related to the Odd Gods' Devotee Tide Ritual?

But from the case names alone, he couldn't guess too much information.

After an hour of work, the problem of the wave sound on the eighth floor was resolved, and this anomaly was temporarily suppressed.

As for the anomaly behind the rift, it could only be slowly researched later.

Bai Yu checked the time; it was already past 9:40.

He then looked at a message Zhang Youpeng had sent twenty minutes ago.

"X*****g"

"This person, we saw him at the company entrance after dinner last night. I felt he was strange, but I don't know if he is..."

Bai Yu looked at the photo; the hair was very 'spirited young man,' and he had tattoos on his arms, which indeed looked abnormal.

He just didn't remember seeing this person.

At this moment, Li Yunbin and his group had already left the media building and gotten into the car.

Before the car started, Bai Yu spoke: "Captain, I have something to report."
