Li Bai's gaze shifted lazily to Lin Cheng, his smirk widening.
"Hero comes to save the beauty huh? Come to think of it... I have seen you, aren't you Lin Cheng, the chief of Diddy party,"
As soon as those words came to light,
The crowd erupted into murmurs. Some were amused, others were angry.
Diddy party?
There is no party like the Diddy party.
Even the Epstein island is child play compared to the Diddy party.
Well, both are child play, technically.
"Diddy party? Chief? He looks so young... Is he a victim? Or a child molestor?"
"looking at his face, I am 100% sure, he is a child molester," .
"Damn, beat him..."
Protagonists, by nature, were meant to lose face against people so, he could slap their face harder.
So, it's only natural that everyone will automatically believe Li Bai's words.
Within seconds, he was called a child molestor and he couldn't even fight back.
The thief will never say he robbed something, will he?
Lin Cheng was angry and angry.
How could this be?
He came to be a hero and now he was crowned as a child molester.
Two big guys with big muscles and tall figures came forward.
And before waiting for anything, they began to beat the shit out of Lin Cheng.
They hate child molesters the most.
Even the public was silent.
They also rushed to beat Lin Cheng.
He was badly beaten.
Some people even recorded it and posted it on social media with the title: "righteous brothers and sisters beat the child molestor"
Even Zhao Ningxue was shocked.
Come to think of it, she realized him telling her that he was very fond of kids.
She suddenly felt disgusted.
EWWW!
She wanted to throw.
[Current affection towards Lin Cheng: -50 ]
Her negative affection sky rocketed.
Soon police arrived at the scene and took away Lin Cheng, instead of people who beat the crap out of Lin Cheng.
He was beaten so badly, blood was coming out his ass.
The scene finally calms down a little bit.
However, Li Bai thought the fun had just begun.
"Miss Zhao, I didn't know, your boyfriend was a child molestor... I guess, a good like me isn't your taste but a child molester is, alas, this generation of women, instead of loving good men, thru want bad and criminals," Li Bai said loudly.
Instantly everyone looked at Zhao Ningxue with the eyes of the predator.
"Indeed, how can you leave a good man like Young Master Li to a child molester,"
"Shame on you..."
"Maybe, she is also connected to the Diddy party..."
Hearing all this, she felt numb and fell on her knees.
What was this?
"No! No! I have no connection to anyone... That guy wasn't my boyfriend, I have no connection with him,"
Zhao Ningxue hurriedly explained.
The Situation Spirals Out of Control
Li Bai leaned back, a smirk tugging at the corners of his lips as he watched the chaos unfold.
The murmurs and jeers from the crowd grew louder, their disgust directed at both Lin Cheng and Zhao Ningxue.
Being a villain was great.
Everyone would lick your feet and believe your words with blind eyes.
You just have to play your card right.
---
"Not your boyfriend, Miss Zhao?" Li Bai's voice rang out, laced with a mock surprise.
"But didn't he just declare himself as such moments ago? It seems you're either lying now... or you were lying then,"
The crowd turned their sharp gazes to Zhao Ningxue, her pale face betraying her inner turmoil.
"She's just trying to save face!" one person shouted.
"First she chooses a child molester, and now she's lying about it? Disgusting!"
"China should hang such people, the death penalty must be served..."
Tears welled up in Zhao Ningxue's eyes as the weight of their scorn pressed down on her.
She shook her head frantically, her voice cracking.
"No! I never agreed to anything! He just said that on his own! I have nothing to do with him!"
Despite her protests, the crowd was relentless.
She was a heroine, not to mention she wasn't an influential one.
For public npc, villain halo greatly attracted them.
If Li Bai doesn't say she is innocent then she isn't innocent, in the eyes of the public.
Whispers about her being "tainted" or "connected to criminals" spread like wildfire.
"Maybe she's part of child smuggling groups, once that monster molests kids, using her connection, she would send those children to foreign countries to work as cheap labor or even prostitutes" someone muttered.
Hiss!
"That makes sense, no wonder no report was made against these monsters, she must be a child smuggler,"
"Birds of a feather, after all,"
It's crazy, people started to connect imaginary dots.
Making Zhao Ningxue a child smuggler and Lin Cheng a child molestor.
Zhao Ningxue's knees buckled, and she collapsed onto the floor, her trembling hands clutching her head.
The world around her spun as humiliation, anger, and despair flooded her mind
She was shocked, terrified and speechless.
"You got it wrong... I am not some smuggler,"
She wanted to retort, tell the people that she wasn't some child smuggler but the voice didn't leak at all.
Strong psychological pressure hits her mind.
She faints.
Sometime later,
The ambulance came, and took away, Zhao Ningxue.
After three hours,
She opened her eyes in the hospital bed.
And to her horror,
Li Bai was looking at her, smiling menacingly.
"You..." She crawled back, eyes widening in anger and fear.
"Why are you here?" She questioned.
"Why can't I be here?" He replied coldly.
"However, since, you have woken up, I will leave now and so, I can visit my new girlfriend," he said.
"You..." She hummed.
There was no need to say that loud.
Why should she care if he was going to visit his new girlfriends.
She could only feel pity for his new girlfriend.
However his next word made her heart confused.
"I will be waiting for you in my lakeside villa, make sure to dress sexy, and buy some condoms," he said.
The meaning was clear.
She was angry and angry.
[ Current affection: -85 ]
The hatred was going larger and larger.
"You are a demon..." She managed to speak out.
Li Bai stood tall, his cold eyes watching Zhao Ningxue's trembling frame shrink into the hospital bed.
His smirk deepened as he straightened his sleeves, exuding an air of dominance.
"A demon?" he repeated with mock indignation, letting out a soft chuckle.
Demon is too low. Demons are being, that trembles in his presence.
When Lucifer doesn't sleep, satan tells him to sleep otherwise Li Bai come.
In fear, Lucifer sleeps instantly.

"No, Miss Zhao. I'm just a realist. The world is full of demons, but I'm honest about mine. You, on the other hand? Still clinging to righteousness in a world that devours the weak..."
He leaned closer, his voice dropping to a whisper.
"But don't worry, Miss Zhao. I'll give you time to adjust. When you've had enough of your pitiful existence, you'll know where to find me."
Zhao Ningxue clenched her fists, her entire body shaking with rage and humiliation.
The venom in her glare could have killed a lesser man, but Li Bai merely smirked, feeding off her helplessness.
She was like Wukong, unable to escape the gaint palm.
Falling right under Li Bai's control.
