Chapter 14 Wolf and Fox! The Notorious Drug Lord Liu Haoyu Appears!
ăWhatâs he up to now?ă
ăWow, that look is intense!ă
ăThis profile is so handsome! Why is someone this good-looking working as a screenwriter instead of a star?ă
ăSis, screenwriters rank much higher than stars, okay?ă
ăI know, but it feels like such a wasteâhiding that face behind the scenes.ă
Lu Chenâs sudden striking gaze!
It made viewers and judges alike realize something big was about to happen!
And sure enoughâ
Lu Chenâs voice came through on screen.
âHello, viewers of the live broadcast.
I donât know how many people are watching right now. I donât know if the judges are in this stream. And I have no idea if the production team can hear what Iâm saying.
If neither the judges nor the production team can, Iâd like to ask the viewers here to explain this to them later. The next part of the story might be quite explosive!
Please donât be too surprised. Rest assured, this story is absolutely brimming with positive energy!
Its theme will not cross the production teamâs red lines!
Thatâs all Iâll say for now. I donât want to spoil anything and ruin the viewing experience. If anyone sees the production team or the judges questioning parts of the plot, please relay my words to them.
Thank you very much!â
After saying this, Lu Chen gave a slight bow to the live-streaming audience. Then he turned back to the whiteboard, continuing to piece together the next part of the escape to Hong Kong!
At this momentâLu Chenâs words caused shockwaves!!
Not just among the 400,000+ viewers in the live stream!
The judges and the production team were stunned too.
âŠâŠâŠâŠ
ăHoly crap, isnât smuggling already dramatic enough? Whatâs coming next that could top that?ă
ăWhat kind of story does he have brewing in his head?!ă
ăThereâs going to be something more explosive than smuggling? Is he going to sell weapons in Hong Kong? Dominate Hong Kongâs financial world? Return home in glory to develop Tazhai?ă
ăMan, youâre definitely a writer. That hookâyou really know what youâre doing!ă
ăIâm so hyped I could cry! Hurry up and write already, no more stalling! Write, write, write!!!!ă
ăAm I the only one who feels differently? I think this story might be heading toward a bad ending!ă
ăWhy do you say that?ă
ăThink about it. Weâre watching Lin Yaodong for his descent into darkness! Whatâs the point of âpositive energyâ? If thereâs a forced redemption arc, wonât that ruin the ending?ă
ăYou make a good point!ă
ăExactly! If he forces a redemption arc, this story will be completely ruinedâand itâll be awful!ă
ăYouâre making me less excited about it now. I donât want some forced redemptionâitâs disgusting!ă
ăSame here! These forced redemption plots have been everywhere lately, and nearly every one flops!ă
ăIf he dares to force a redemption, Iâll give it a 1-star review!ă
ăSame!ă
As Lu Chenâs fans continued their analysis and commentary, the judgesâ room fell silent. Shu Ping and the others exchanged glances once more.
âYou know, the viewers make a lot of sense.â
âIf Lu Chen really tries to force a redemption arc, even if itâs positive energy, the main characterâs entire persona will collapse!
The key appeal of this story lies in the protagonistâif he collapses, the storyâs done for!â
Yan Geling let out a sigh.
This storyâŠ
is truly a tough one to write.
Or perhapsâŠ
from the very beginning, Lu Chenâs starting point was flawed!
âThe storyâs hit a dead end!â
Chen Sichengâs tone carried a hint of schadenfreude.
Thatâs what you get for writing a dark protagonist!
Now look at youâstuck because the production team demands positivity.
Keep writing him dark, and youâre dead!
Force a redemption arc, and youâre dead too!
Letâs see how you get out of this one!
âŠâŠâŠâŠ
In the room, Lu Chen thought for a moment, then picked up his pen and continued writing!
The upcoming storylineâŠ
marked the official debut of Hong Kongâs notorious drug lord, Liu Haoyu, in Breaking the Ice!
âŠâŠâŠâŠ
[After escaping to Hong Kong, Lin Yaodong and his younger brother, Lin Yaohua, initially felt hopeless about their future.
As outsiders in a completely unfamiliar place, survival was bound to be an uphill battle. But Lin Yaodong was not one to admit defeat. The more desperate the situation, the more determined he was to survive!
With his bold and tenacious nature, along with the capital he had amassed over the years, Lin Yaodong set his sights on real estate!
At the time, Hong Kongâs real estate market was booming, with skyscrapers rising everywhere. Though Lin Yaodong didnât have the resources to take on large projects, his cleverness and knack for networking allowed him to develop a few small projects.
Though he didnât make a fortune, he at least managed to establish himself in Hong Kong.
During this time, Lin Yaodong met someone.
That personâs name⊠was Liu Haoyu.
After a few encounters, the two collaborated on a few projects and made some modest profits together.
Through these interactions, Lin Yaodong gained a deeper understanding of Liu Haoyuâs capabilities. It turned out that Liu Haoyu was not just involved in real estate.
His primary business was in transportationâspecifically, ocean freight. He was the CEO of a multinational logistics company!
Additionally, he had investments in various other industries, including real estate. This left Lin Yaodong stunned. He hadnât expected someone around his own age to be so accomplished!
What was more, Liu Haoyu wasnât a âsecond-generation rich kidâ. He had built this empire from scratch!
Lin Yaodong admired Liu Haoyu greatly. Likewise, Liu Haoyu thought highly of Lin Yaodong. Thanks to Lin Yaodongâs reliability and meticulousness in their joint projects. Liu Haoyu began to see him in a new light, believing that Lin Yaodong had immense potential.
As their relationship deepened, so did their conversations. One evening at dinner, after a few drinks, Lin Yaodong confessed the real reason he had come to Hong Kong.
When Liu Haoyu learned that Lin Yaodong was a smuggler, he was shocked. At first, he had assumed Lin Yaodong was just an ordinary mainland entrepreneur trying his luck in Hong Kong. But it turned out, this guy was no ordinary businessman!
Suddenly, Liu Haoyu found himself even more intrigued by Lin YaodongâŠ].
âŠâŠâŠâŠ
ăDamn, that last line gave me goosebumps!ă
ăBro, donât make this a romance, okay?!ă
ăClearly, Liu Haoyu isnât some saint either!ă
ăFor someone to run such a massive business at around 30, Liu Haoyu must be extraordinary!ă
ăNo doubt Liu Haoyu is going to have a huge influence on Lin Yaodong!ă
âŠâŠâŠâŠ
[And so, another six months passed. During this time, Liu Haoyu secretly observed Lin Yaodong. He admired Lin Yaodongâs capability and efficiency. Their joint projects went smoothly, requiring almost no oversight. Though the profits werenât huge, Liu Haoyu became increasingly impressed by Lin Yaodongâs ambition, competence, and hunger for wealth.
Moreover, Lin Yaodong was bold and unafraid to take risks. All of these traits convinced Liu Haoyu that Lin Yaodong was a talent worth cultivating. Through various connections, Liu Haoyu investigated Lin Yaodongâs background thoroughly.
He looked into everythingâhis identity, family, home address, relationships, and more. He found nothing suspiciousâjust an ordinary working-class family.
Lin Yaodongâs rags-to-riches story aligned perfectly with his own accountâstarting as a poor boy, collecting scrap, moving on to car smuggling, and finally fleeing to Hong Kong. His record was remarkably âclean.â
With his doubts cleared, Liu Haoyu decided to proceed with a long-cherished plan. He wanted to propose a new venture to Lin Yaodong. This venture was Liu Haoyuâs true line of business. A business that couldnât see the light of day but promised unimaginable profits!].
When Lu Chenâs writing reached this pointâ
Gasp!
Viewers, judges, and even the production team collectively felt their hearts leap!
[A business that couldnât see the light of day?].
[And promised unimaginable profits!].
What kind of dangerous game was this?
In that moment, the audienceâs and judgesâ hearts were in their throats!
