CHAPTER 33: CHAPTER 30: COULD IT REALLY BE JUST A COINCIDENCE?

"Daoist, you must be joking."

"Since you’ve already thought of a way for me to avoid jail, I’ll just follow it."

"I’m a bit delicate and don’t want to end up in prison becoming some kind of cell pet."

Brother Dog hesitated for a moment, then laughed and joked.

"It’s best if you follow the plan, little friend!"

Lu Heng nodded slightly.

Because he’d seen Brother Dog’s future, he knew Brother Dog was about to face a big temptation.

This very temptation was what landed Brother Dog in jail.

"Daoist, I’ll remember your words!"

"I’m logging off now!"

After saying goodbye, Brother Dog ended the co-stream on his own accord.

His streaming style didn’t match the other person’s, making it uncomfortable to continue together.

Meanwhile, a group of viewers in his streaming room began teasing their "Outdoor Second Brother."

"Brother Dog, I’ll call you now and see if you pick up!"

"Just a fortune-teller, listen and move on. Doing exactly as he says would be too foolish, right?"

"Listening to advice fills your belly; staying careful means no big mistakes!"

"It’s good to be honest, or else you’ll mess around and end up in jail."

"Brother Dog, I just reported you, the officials might call you later, hope you don’t pick up."

"Can you really play like this? I’ll report too!"

"Seriously, brothers, playing this hard?"

"What if Brother Dog really goes in, then what?"

"What’s there to fear? I’ll protect our sister-in-law..."

Watching these fans mess around, Brother Dog felt speechless.

He didn’t know what would happen tonight, making him restless, unable to focus on flirting.

Just then, with a vibrate, his backup phone suddenly rang.

Seeing an unfamiliar number, Brother Dog thought, "Who’s calling now, probably one of those idiot viewers?"

With that, he just hung up.

Not long after, the phone rang again.

The caller ID showed it was the official Douhu platform number.

"Damn! Did you guys really report me?"

Brother Dog was dumbfounded.

He didn’t expect this bunch of silly viewers would actually follow through!

But he still hung up without a second thought.

His phone rang several more times, and each one was mercilessly hung up on.

With the incessant ringing, he even considered turning it off.

But for some reason, he never did.

Meanwhile, in Lu Heng’s streaming room, viewers were also teasing.

"Haha, I went to Brother Dog’s room, he doesn’t dare to answer the phone, seems like he’s really scared!"

"Of course, the Daoist hits the nail on the head every time, who wouldn’t be intimidated?"

"I’m waiting for the Second Brother to stream in prison, watching him get roughed up by the big guys."

"If Brother Dog can stream picking up soap, Douhu’s site traffic will explode!"

"Daoist is too candid! Scum like Brother Dog should be sent in to squat!"

"Sigh! In the end, Brother Dog dodged a bullet. My carefully laid Thief Cao backup plan ended just like that."

"I’d love a backup plan too, spending Brother Dog’s money, then hitting his boy, how delightful!"

"Ahem! Old Tie, I bet you have something else on your mind you haven’t said?"

"No need to spell it out, those who understand, understand!"

At this moment, Lu Heng couldn’t help but frown.

Didn’t Brother Dog remember his words?

Why hasn’t the Celestial Destiny System given any feedback yet?

"Could it be that, like the spirited youth before, Brother Dog will need some time for feedback?"

"Or perhaps, his fate hasn’t actually changed?"

...

After hanging up a series of prank calls, the phone finally went quiet.

Seeing this, Brother Dog breathed a long sigh of relief.

But less than twenty minutes later, the phone rang again.

He thought it was more pranksters, but upon looking, it was actually his good friend from college dorms.

This time, he didn’t hang up as decisively as before.

It was apparent he hesitated a bit.

But to avoid jail, he still gritted his teeth and hung up.

Soon, his college buddy called again.

Brother Dog continued to hang up.

One after another, the guy repeatedly called four or five times, all mercilessly hung up.

"Buzz buzz... buzz buzz..."

With a vibration, it wasn’t a call this time, but a WeChat message.

"What the heck does this guy want?"

Brother Dog couldn’t help but glance at WeChat, eyes lighting up with a hint of excitement.

"Dog, what the hell are you doing?"

"Damn! Why aren’t you answering my calls?"

"I lined up Young Master Huang for you tonight, are you coming or what, reply..."

The Young Master Huang in his buddy’s messages was the son of a wealthy tycoon.

This Young Master Huang had his eyes on the short video industry and was readying to invest and start a related company.

Brother Dog had long wanted to self-recommend.

He didn’t want to just be a streamer forever.

After all, people age; once he loses popularity, he’s just another regular celebrity.

To this end, he had people collect internal data of major short video platforms and even drafted a series of plans...

But unfortunately, he was still just an influencer.

His weight class was much lower than Young Master Huang’s, and after trying for half a month, he hadn’t even met him once.

But unexpectedly, careless efforts paid off!

He merely mentioned it in passing to his buddy, not expecting him to actually set up a meeting with Young Master Huang.

"What a great brother!"

Brother Dog felt quite moved.

Just as he was about to reply, he remembered the Daoist’s warning.

Could it really be such a coincidence?

His heart wavered, as this opportunity was right in front of him.

Missing it would bring lifelong regret.

But if he ends up in jail because of it, everything he has now will be ruined, right?

Finally, Brother Dog gritted his teeth, made a decision in his heart.

No matter what, he must seize this opportunity!

...

"Next up is our second lucky viewer—’Early Summer’!"

Lu Heng found his second fated person of the night and sent a co-stream invitation.

Before long, the other person accepted.

A short-haired cute girl appeared on the screen.

"Hello, Daoist!"

Early Summer smiled sweetly, waving a greeting.

"Hello to you too, little friend!"

Lu Heng replied with a nod.

"Wow, it’s really my wife, Xia!"

"Wife! Wife! Wife!"

"Don’t go too far, stop calling my wife, wife!"

"Is Xia here for fortune-telling too? Maybe to ask about her boyfriend?"

"Haha, I’ve calculated it, Xia’s boyfriend is a young master relying on sugar mamas!"

"Pfft! You’re just a liar, I, Daniel Wu of Celestial Sea, am Xia’s boyfriend."

"Watching you all call her wife is just pitiful and sad. When I go home tonight, Xia will warm my bed, making you all green with envy!"

"If you had a few peanuts, you wouldn’t be this drunk!"

"Alcohol and antibiotics, the more you drink, the better it gets!"

This pretty streamer indeed had high popularity.

As soon as she appeared, the comments filled the screen, even covering the faces of the co-streaming pair.
