A million-dollar reward!
After a long while, the Photographer's faint voice came: "Brother, can't you sleep either?"
Lin Yuan turned his head and softly replied: "Mm! Can't sleep."
"Sigh~" The Photographer sighed: "What's going on? I've been tossing and turning and can't fall asleep."
Suddenly, Lin Yuan sat up and said mysteriously: "Do you think there's a possibility that this world is a giant server, and we can't sleep because the human sleep server we're on is full?"
"We can only get a spot to sleep after other people wake up!"
"Ah?" The Photographer's eyes widened, and he was stunned for a moment: "It... it seems to make some sense!"
"Exactly!" Lin Yuan suddenly became excited.
With a click, he turned on the room's main light.
"We have to find a way to get others offline so we can squeeze into the server to sleep."
The Photographer was also shocked by this wild idea. He sat up abruptly and asked blankly: "How do we do that?"
"Uh..." Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, then said uncertainly: "Make phone calls? Wake up the people who are sleeping?"
"Ah?" The Photographer was stunned again: "Isn't that a bit unethical?"
"Mm! You have a point, so you should make the calls."
Pfft~~
The Photographer immediately spat out, completely dumbfounded.
What do you mean 'unethical, so let me make the calls'?
So, I'm supposed to do the unethical things, huh?
But when he saw Lin Yuan's unquestionable gaze, he involuntarily trembled.
He replied with a bitter face: "I'll call! Is it okay if I call?"
"That's right! Remember to make a few more calls." Lin Yuan pulled out the Client's information, selected a few, tossed them into the Photographer's arms, threw his phone over, and immediately lay down to sleep.
This series of actions left the netizens in the live stream dumbfounded.

---[What the hell is this again? If I follow his logic, wouldn't waking up at night mean I've been kicked off the server? Or maybe someone unplugged my internet cable while I was sleeping? Disconnected?]
---[Can't stop laughing. If that's true, then sleeping pills are like VIP access? The only downside is that using too many will get you discovered by the server and banned.]
---[Got it. My wife is sound asleep next to me. I'll try kicking her offline to see if this trick works. I'll report back in five minutes. If I don't report back, either I fell asleep or...]
---[Thanks, Lin Yuan. The problem that's bothered me for years finally has an answer. No wonder my dreams never have a beginning; it turns out I'm just continuing other people's dreams.]
The Photographer held his phone, looked at the time on it, and then at the Client's information, his face turning into a bitter gourd.
He tried one last desperate attempt to ask: "Brother, do I really have to call?"
"What else? Didn't you just agree with my idea? If you don't kick others offline, how will we sleep? Hurry up, don't dilly-dally."
Looking at Lin Yuan's stubborn demeanor, the Photographer wanted to cry, wishing he could slap himself twice. He really had a big mouth.
Helplessly, he could only brace himself and dial a number.
Actually, he didn't know that these Clients were all carefully selected by Lin Yuan.
Because of their special work, they could only be contacted at night.
There was usually no opportunity, but today was a good time to contact them.
The first call rang for a long time without anyone answering, just beeping.
The Photographer stared anxiously at the incoming call reminder, constantly praying: Don't answer, don't answer!
But the next second...
The call was still answered.
Immediately, a suspicious, slightly trembling voice came through: "Hello~~~"
The Photographer, mimicking Lin Yuan's words, said: "Hello, may I speak to Mr. Qin? I am from Fang Bu Sheng Fang Real Estate Agency. I'm calling to ask..."
Just as the Photographer was introducing himself in a serious manner...
Suddenly!
The other end of the phone erupted like a volcano, a furious roar: "You son of a bitch! You damn salesperson, calling in the middle of the night to sell houses? Are you out of your mind?"
"I'm keeping vigil for a funeral, and hearing a phone ring next to the coffin nearly scared the soul out of me! Get lost!"
Slam~~
The call was immediately hung up. The Photographer was dumbfounded on the spot, still maintaining his previous posture, a bit in disbelief.
Lin Yuan also didn't expect a phone call to result in such a harsh scolding, feeling a little guilty.
He quickly turned off the main light and buried himself in the covers, pretending he hadn't heard anything.
The netizens in the live stream also all laughed unethically.
Through the moonlight, one could vaguely see the Photographer taking a full minute to recover, putting down his phone and the information, and lying down to sleep.
The room instantly became incredibly quiet.
It stayed this way until deep into the night. Lin Yuan stared at the ceiling, feeling like he was about to collapse.
Listening to the Photographer's snores beside him, he sighed helplessly.
Then he slowly got up, walked over to the Photographer, and raised his hand—smack!!
He slapped him.
"Hm??" The Photographer jolted, suddenly waking up.
Feeling the stinging pain on his right cheek, he looked at Lin Yuan with a bewildered expression: "Brother, what's wrong?"
Lin Yuan replied calmly: "Nothing, you go offline first, let me sleep for a bit!"
The Photographer: "..."
The live stream: "..."
Just then...
Suddenly!
There was a knock on the door.
Knock, knock, knock~~
The two were instantly drawn by the sound, both looking towards the door.
Knock, knock, knock~~
"Is Mr. Lin Yuan there?"
Hearing this unfamiliar voice, Lin Yuan and the Photographer exchanged glances, their eyes filled with surprise.
"Brother, is he looking for you? In the middle of the night, who is it?"
"How would I know? Don't say anything yet, let's see who it is."
As the two waited, the knocking sound resumed at the door.
"Mr. Lin Yuan, we are from the State Security Bureau. Are you asleep? We need to see you!"
"State Security Bureau!" The two exclaimed in a low voice in unison.
Lin Yuan frowned, his face thoughtful. It seemed to be about the spy incident tonight.
Thinking of this, he quickly turned on the main light, put on his slippers, went to the door, and opened it.
Click~~
As soon as he opened the door, he saw four people standing outside.
Two young people, two middle-aged people.
Three of them were wearing State Security Bureau police uniforms, and the other was wearing a navy military uniform.
However, when Lin Yuan looked closely at the two bars and four stars on his shoulder, he couldn't help but gasp.
"Hello, Mr. Lin Yuan, let me introduce you. This is Director Fang of the West Sea City State Security Bureau, and this is Senior Colonel Li, Senior Colonel of the West Sea City Navy."
Hearing this introduction, Lin Yuan's expression brightened, and he quickly replied with a smile: "Leaders, hello!"
Director Fang smiled and nodded: "Sorry to disturb you so late. Don't be nervous, I'm here because of tonight's matter."
"Based on the intelligence you provided, we have thoroughly investigated, and this is indeed a complex and massive intelligence network."
"Two hours ago, we confirmed the address, and all have now been arrested!"
"They are currently undergoing interrogation. We will announce it on our official website later, and you can go check it out then. I'm here today primarily to personally give you the reward for reporting."
"According to regulations, a successful report earns a minimum of 100,000 and a maximum of 500,000 yuan. However, due to the extreme significance of this case, the higher-ups have specially decided to reward you with 1,000,000 yuan! As encouragement!"
