In a warehouse filled with the smell of fish, a plastic sheet was lifted, revealing a four-story tall Golden Buddha inside, instantly silencing everyone present. A person wearing a hard hat shouted, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and load it onto the truck!"
"Yes, yes, yes, loading it now!"
Bai Yujing and Li Hao were also nearby. Li Hao stared at the Giant Buddha as if he were completely immersed in its beauty. It must be said that aside from its intrinsic value, the craftsmanship of this Giant Buddha had reached its peak, and its artistic merit was immeasurable.
"You've really offended the Little Devil this time; you're definitely on their blacklist now!" Li Hao said to Bai Yujing as he watched the Giant Buddha gradually being loaded onto the truck.
Bai Yujing nodded. "No need to say that. I estimate it will be difficult for me to set foot in Neon again. I have to admit, there are still many fun places over there; I didn't get to enjoy them last time, which is a bit of a regret!"
Li Hao suddenly remembered something and asked Bai Yujing, "By the way, how did you get back? When I was under close surveillance before, I thought we might be done for. You managed to escape directly; there are all sorts of rumors online about how you did it. Tell me about it!"
"Don't you already know?" Bai Yujing glanced at Li Hao but didn't elaborate.
Li Hao immediately replied, "So you really came back through those people? They're troublemakers; you'd better avoid provoking them!"
"I've already cut ties with them. This incident feels too big, and I'm a bit tired. I just feel bad about your pendant!" Bai Yujing said.
Li Hao shook his head. "It's fine; what do we have between us? Once this Giant Buddha is transported, I've already made preparations for everything else. This time, we must create a world-renowned resort destination. Qinzhou City is taking my investment very seriously and has already started contacting us proactively. I've also coordinated with the Buddhist Association; a whole mountain will be designated next to Shuiyuan Village as a temple scenic area. By the way, aren't you about to release your second book? Make sure to promote my resort well!"
"What? Haven't you started construction yet? You're already going to start promoting it?"
"We began construction yesterday!"
At this point, Li Hao suddenly became serious. "By the way, there's something I want to discuss with you!"
Because it was rare to see Li Hao speak so seriously, Bai Yujing immediately looked over and asked, "What's the matter? Why so serious?"
"My mother contacted me!" Li Hao said.
Bai Yujing was momentarily at a loss for words. He knew what kind of person Li Hao and Lin Ruoqiao's mother was—a woman who had lived for hundreds of years, an absolute tough character. Faced with someone like that, Bai Yujing felt a bit flustered and didn't know how to respond.
"She wants to meet you!" Li Hao continued when he saw that Bai Yujing didn't reply.
Bai Yujing was confused. "What does she want to meet me for? Unless... she also wants to find Atlantis. But why? What could be hidden there that would make someone like her pursue it for such a long time?"
"I don't know. She just suddenly contacted me, talked for a bit, and then said she wanted to meet you. I'm just passing on the message," Li Hao said. His feelings toward his mother were very complicated, and he didn't know how to express himself when talking about her.
Bai Yujing shook his head. "Forget it. You tell her that I'm not planning to investigate Atlantis anymore. I intend to take a break, and I've already given the Center to those people. There's nothing left for me to do!"
Li Hao nodded. "Okay, I'll respond like that. But I think this matter will ultimately fall on your shoulders."
"Why?" Bai Yujing asked, puzzled.
"Because I believe that besides you, no one else can find it!" Li Hao said this with a faint smile, making him seem quite confident.
Bai Yujing curled his lip. "Where does this confidence come from? I don't even have it myself!"
Li Hao didn't dwell on the topic any longer. "Next month is my father's birthday; remember to come and celebrate. My dad wants to meet you!"
Bai Yujing originally planned to stay at home and be lazy for a month, but unexpectedly, there was another mission: "Come on, I'm not your daughter-in-law! Why does everyone in your family want to see me?"
"Aren't you my good buddy?" Li Hao pushed Bai Yujing.
"Get lost!"
-------------------
When driving back home, Bai Yujing was surprised to find the entrance of the community bustling with activity. As soon as Bai Yujing got out of the car, a crowd of reporters surrounded him. The scene felt like a monster fighting over food at the Eight Hundred Nun temple.
“Mr. Bai, did you bring back a Pure Gold Buddha worth hundreds of billions of RMB from Neon? Is it true?”
“Can you stop exaggerating the numbers? Where did you get hundreds of billions from?” Bai Yujing tried to squeeze through the crowd but was blocked.
“Then is it true that such a thing happened?”
“Do you think this incident will provoke tensions between China-Japan? I heard that Neon has already started nationwide protests!”
“That’s an internal conflict in Neon, and the protests have nothing to do with me. Don’t drag me into this!” Bai Yujing was also deeply frustrated by the domestic rumors, as if the large protests in Neon were caused by him.
“Mr. Bai, may I ask…”
Blocked in by these people, Bai Yujing found it impossible to move forward or backward. Eventually, security at the community entrance came over and helped clear the way for Bai Yujing. This was the first time he experienced being chased by reporters; after all, he wasn't a celebrity.
Bai Yujing felt that his decision to take a break was absolutely correct. Now, too much attention was focused on him, and every move he made was likely to be scrutinized. It was better to keep a low profile.
Bai Yujing decided not to go out for a while. These people couldn't possibly sneak in over the wall, could they? Although the Security system in the community wasn't very reliable, it should be enough to deal with those paparazzi. He would wait until the storm passed before making any moves.
However, once back home, Bai Yujing couldn't find peace. His old classmate, Haiyang, barged in and pushed him aside on the sofa, grabbing Dudu, who was watching TV, and started to mess with him.
Totoro Dudu had been staying at Haiyang's house for a while. Haiyang had three cats, so taking care of Dudu was just right for her. However, after some time, Bai Yujing realized he couldn't get Dudu back. He had even driven to Haiyang's house yesterday to forcibly reclaim him.
"Just give me Dudu!” Haiyang began to act pitiful.
“Dudu is my friend, not for sale!” Bai Yujing understood her nature and was not fooled; he firmly refused her.
"Hmph, stingy!"
Bai Yujing asked, “What do you want this time?”
Haiyang immediately replied, “Some of the company's products have started selling, and things are going very well. But you promised before that you would do some promotional modeling, right?”
“What? You want me to take pictures again?” Bai Yujing always thought of himself as the one behind the camera and never expected to end up in front of it.
Bai Yujing's plan to slack off was once again thwarted.
