Chapter 70: Double Loss

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Luo Yang felt a flash before his eyes, and then he realized that he had been photographed.

He followed the flash angrily and ran after him.

At the same time, a thin middle-aged man quickly squeezed out through the gap in the machine and ran out of the factory.

Luo Yang chased after him fiercely. Finally, when the man was about to run out of the factory gate, he was pinned down by Luo Yang, who pounced onto him.

“Let go of me!”

The man struggled desperately.

Luo Yang ignored him and directly snatched the camera from his hand.

He opened the photo album and the first photo was taken secretly just now.

In the photo, Lin Bai covered his face with his hand, so his face could not be seen clearly.

However, clear photographs of Luo Yang and Xiang Zhiyuan behind him were taken.

Luo Yang wanted to delete the photos without hesitation but he saw Lin Bai rushing over from the corner of his eye. He stopped and raised his phone for Lin Bai to take a look.

“Boss, this is a photo of you that was secretly taken by him. What should we do with it?”

Lin Bai glanced at it and said, “Delete it. Check if there’s anything else.”

The person who secretly took the photo struggled desperately under Luo Yang’s butt and shouted,

“What right do you have to look through my phone! That’s private property. What you’re doing is illegal!”

Lin Bai was so angry that he laughed.

“It’s illegal for us to look through your phone but isn’t it also illegal for you to secretly take photos?”

Initially, Lin Bai had thought that it would be better to avoid unnecessary trouble when he was out. As long as the man deleted the photo that he had secretly taken of him, he would let this matter go.

However, since the other party was complaining, he couldn’t let him off so easily.

“Empty all his photo albums.”

Lin Bai said to Luo Yang.

The person who secretly took the photos immediately became anxious.

“What right do you have to do that!?”

“Those are all my work materials! Do you want to compensate for the damages caused?!”

Luo Yang flipped through the photo albums and found that based on the angles of the photos, they were almost all taken secretly.

As far as he could see, there were only a few normal photos in the whole album.

“How can you be so righteous when you’re taking photos secretly? This is the first time I’ve seen someone as shameless as you,” Luo Yang said.

The person who took the photos argued loudly, “I’m a reporter! Those are all my secret interview materials! If you dare to delete them and cause a delay in my report, I’ll definitely investigate to the end!”

He shouted aggressively. Luo Yang was a little intimidated for a moment, so he cast a questioning gaze at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai said to Luo Yang without thinking, “Delete it!”

He secretly took photos without permission and was caught, yet he still talked so much nonsense. How could he not pay the price!?

Even if he was really a reporter, so what?

Can he casually take photos of others just because he was a reporter?

Luo Yang didn’t hesitate any longer and deleted all the photos in the album.

Then he went to the ‘recently deleted’ album and emptied it completely.

After doing all of that, he didn’t forget to log on to the cloud and delete the backup copy.

“Boss, they’ve all been deleted,” Luo Yang said.

Lin Bai nodded and said, “Return the phone to him.”

Luo Yang immediately stood up from the body of the reporter who took the photo in secret and threw the phone back to him.

The photographer frantically checked his phone to see if the photo album was still there.

Lin Bai coldly said to him, “You can get lost now. Don’t let me see you again, or I won’t be so polite next time.”

The photographer found that not only had all the photos in his album been deleted but even the cloud backup had also been wiped out.

He roared at Lin Bai and Luo Yang like a madman, “What right do you have to do that!?”

“Do you know how much those photos are worth!?!”

“I’m going to sue you! You have to compensate me for my losses!”

Lin Bai sneered. “Sue me? Do you have any evidence?”

“Go ahead and sue me if you want!”

Lin Bai did not believe that he could win.

Even if he won, what could he do?

At worst, he could just pay him some money. After all, Lin Bai did not lack money at the moment. He would not lose anything even if he spent money to vent his anger.

The photos taken in secret had been deleted and the lesson had been taught. Lin Bai did not want to waste any more time.

Hence, he said to Luo Yang, “Let’s go. We should go back.”

When the reporter who took the photos heard this, he immediately grabbed Lin Bai’s clothes and shouted, “If you don’t pay, don’t even think about leaving!”

Lin Bai smiled.

“Pay up, right? Sure.”

“Then I might as well add on some medical fees and send you to the hospital for a few months. How about that?”

The reporter who was secretly taking photos was a little scared.

He had heard about the news of the top-quality Emperor Green and had specially rushed over to interview him.

However, he was worried that Lin Bai would not be willing to accept the interview, or that he would not agree to take photos.

That was why he wanted to hide and secretly take two photos first. Then, he would openly come in front of Lin Bai and request an interview.

After the interview was over, he could directly put the photos on the manuscript, and the remuneration he gets would be even higher.

He had used this trick countless times.

He just didn’t expect that the first step would turn out like this.

He didn’t know Lin Bai’s name and identity, but he knew that Lin Bai could spend hundreds of millions of dollars for his so-called intuition.

He thought that someone who was so generous and had such an arrogant attitude must have a very deep background.

There was a high probability that he was not someone he could afford to offend.

The reporter who secretly took the photo quickly weighed the pros and cons in his heart. He lowered his head and quietly let go of his hand. He did not dare to say another word.

Since he was so tactful, Lin Bai did not make things difficult for him anymore. He immediately brought Luo Yang and prepared to leave.

At this moment, the factory director ran over and said to Lin Bai,

“Mr. Lin, there are many reporters outside. They all want to interview you, but the security guards can’t chase them away.”

“Do you want to go out for an interview, or do you want to go through the back door first?”

Lin Bai asked without thinking, “Where is the back door?”

He did not want to show his face in public, not to mention after the incident just now. At this moment, his heart was filled with disgust for the so-called reporters.

The factory manager seemed to have expected Lin Bai to make such a choice, so he said, “I’ll lead the way. Mr. Lin, this way please.”

“Thank you.”

The reporter who secretly took the photo looked at Lin Bai’s back as he left. He felt as if he was watching an exclusive breaking news scoop leave him.

Lin Bai deliberately avoided all the reporters. This also meant that if he could take a photo now, it would be a unique exclusive photo.

Exclusive!!!

Anyone who worked in the media industry would know the value of these two words.

The reporter who secretly took photos of them was incredibly conflicted. In the end, his desire for money and fame overwhelmed the fear of Lin Bai.

He quietly raised his phone and prepared to secretly take another photo.

Unexpectedly, Lin Bai seemed to have eyes on his back. Just as he raised his phone, Lin Bai turned his head and glared at him coldly.

He was so scared that he shivered and his phone fell to the ground.

The screen shattered.

This time, there was no need to think about secretly taking pictures.

Not only did he not have the opportunity to pay for the exclusive news, but he also had to lose money on maintenance fees.. It was really a case of robbing the goose that laid the golden eggs.
