Future News: My Phone Mutated

Chapter 211 Hints of Future News

Apart from that, the news also specifically mentioned that not only was there no weapon in the room, there was also no sharp object that could cause such harm.

However, Xu Zhengfei’s clothes were wet.

A large amount of water was mixed into the blood that flowed out.

The police had already tested it and confirmed that it was normal water. There was no special substance mixed into it.

However, the police had not investigated clearly where the water came from and why it was mixed with Xu Zhengfei’s body and blood.

“I can’t find the weapon but there is a lot of water on the ground…”

Lin Bai muttered to himself as he recalled an anime that he had watched many years ago.

If he remembered correctly, the plot of one episode of that anime was that someone used an ice pick as a murder weapon.

After that, the ice pick melted into water, so no murder weapon could be found.

“Could it be that Xu Zhengfei was also killed by someone using an ice pick?” Lin Bai guessed as he read the news repeatedly, trying to find more useful clues between the lines.

Inadvertently, when Lin Bai pulled the news to the end, he found that there was an advertisement at the end.

The accompanying picture was a manga. In the picture, a man seemed to be casting some kind of spell. Around his body, there were countless sharp icicles floating. There was also a line of text at the bottom of the picture. It looked like a common novel promotion advertisement.

However, there had never been any advertisements in the news that the Future News app had sent before.

Since it had suddenly appeared this time, Lin Bai naturally didn’t think that it was just a simple advertisement.

He carefully read the text at the bottom. It was a general introduction of a young man named Ye Huai, who relied on his accidental ice-type superpower to continuously defeat his enemies and become stronger until he finally reached the peak. This kind of advertisement, paired with the news of Xu Zhengfei’s death, was particularly intriguing

Lin Bai couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“I was still wondering if the person who killed Xu Zhengfei used an ice pick as a murder weapon, but in the end, it was accompanied with this advertisement.System, you’re beating around the bush to give me the correct answer!”

He hoped that he wouldn’t get any response as usual.

Lin Bai, on the other hand, firmly remembered the name “Ye Huai”.

The Future News app would never give him useless information, including this sudden appearance of an advertisement with obvious hints.

In that case, the name of the person appearing in the advertisement would most likely not be useless information.

After confirming that there was no missing information, Lin Bai gave Director Xu a call.

“Director Xu, I need to see your grandson immediately.”

Without any small talk, Lin Bai went straight to the point.

On the other end of the phone, Director Xu was clearly stunned.

He asked hesitantly, “Mr. Lin, you suddenly want to see him so late at night. Did you calculate something?”

Just as Lin Bai was worried that he didn’t have an excuse, Director Xu gave him a ready-made reason.

Thus, Lin Bai said, “Yes, I did a curious divination just now. Your grandson will be in danger tonight, so I have to see him immediately.”

When Director Xu heard this, he didn’t dare to be the slightest bit negligent.

“Okay, okay, okay. I’ll send you to his house right away! Oh right, Mr. Lin, are you still in the hospital?” Lin Bai nodded. “Yes, I’ll see you at the main entrance.”

Not long after, Lin Bai saw Director Xu running out. He was making a phone call as he ran, probably to inform his son and daughter-in-law.

Along the way, Director Xu was clearly very nervous. The hand that he was holding the steering wheel was shaking, and the speed of the car was so fast that it almost took off.

“Mr. Lin, what kind of danger will Xiao Fei be in tonight? Do we need to get his parents to prepare something in advance?”

Director Xu asked nervously.

Lin Bai said, “There’s no need to prepare anything. Just let me meet him alone.”

Director Xu quickly agreed, “Okay, okay. This will definitely not be a problem. If necessary, his parents and I can go out as well.”

Lin Bai looked at the heavy night sky outside the car window and said, “That’s not necessary. You guys just stay in your rooms and don’t come out.”

Director Xu repeatedly agreed, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent.

Very soon, they arrived at Xu Zhengfei’s house. His parents had already changed their clothes and had been waiting for a long time. Xu Zhengfei was also called out. He wore pajamas and sat on the sofa in the living room. He looked listless, as if he could fall asleep at any moment.

However, the moment Lin Bai entered the house, Xu Zhengfei’s entire body trembled violently, and he practically bounced up from the sofa.

Then, he rushed back to his room and slammed the door shut.

His reaction stunned everyone and the atmosphere instantly became awkward.

Xu Zhengfei’s father stared at Lin Bai and sized him up, his eyes full of wariness.

Then, he looked at Director Xu and asked with obvious displeasure,”Dad, you said on the phone that there was something important, but you didn’t tell us what it was. What happened?”

“Also, who is he?”

Director Xu hurriedly berated, “What kind of attitude is that! This is Mr. Lin! Show some respect!”

After saying that, he quickly said to Lin Bai, “Mr. Lin, my son is angry when he wakes up. Please don’t forget about it.”

Xu Zhengfei’s father was almost forty years old this year. When he saw his father actually being so humble to a brat who was still wet behind the ears, he was so angry that his face almost turned green.

He even suspected that his father was old and muddle-headed. Otherwise, why would he be so respectful to a grandchild?! Lin Bai was not in the mood to dwell on such meaningless matters, so he said to Director Xu,”Director Xu, explain it to them slowly. I’ll go and have a chat with Xu Zhengfei.”

Director Xu nodded repeatedly. “Okay, okay, okay. I’ll have to trouble you to take care of it.”

Xu Zhengfei’s father clearly wanted to say something more, but he was forced back by Director Xu’s glare.

Lin Bai gave Director Xu a look. Director Xu understood and forcefully dragged his son and daughter-in-law back to their room.

In the huge living room, only Lin Bai was left.

Lin Bai raised his hand and knocked on Xu Zhengfei’s bedroom door.

As expected, there was no reaction from inside.

Lin Bai simply twisted the handle and locked the door.

He lowered his voice and said, “Xu Zhengfei, I know you can hear me.”

“You should know my identity, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have such a reaction.”

“I know. Those rules make you very scared.” “But think about it carefully. If you wanted to hurt someone, would you go over and visit them in public?”

“I’m not here to hurt you. On the contrary, I’m here to protect you.If you believe me, open the door and let me in to tell you in detail.”

“If you don’t believe me, then I’ll leave immediately. No matter what happens later, I’ll never interfere again.”
