After Cecia logged off, Lin Tai opened another QQ.
The avatar was a little flower; the name was "I Will Work Hard!"
This account was very different from the loli's.
Lin Tai sponsored this poor little girl.
About ten years ago, Lin Tai met a ragged girl by the roadside.
She was about eight or nine.
She said her home was burned down by bad people.
Her parents were dead, and she was the only survivor.
She had nowhere to go; no relatives would take her in.
She also refused relatives' help.
Her brother worked in Imperial Capital.
She scavenged garbage to get to Imperial Capital but lost track of her brother. Instead, Lin Tai met her.
Feeling sorry, Lin Tai gave her food.
He helped search for her brother.
The brother disappeared the second year after arriving in Imperial Capital—likely fled to the Middle East.
No news followed; he was probably dead.
The Middle East was a warzone; no news meant death.
Lin Tai told the girl, who cried and returned to her hometown.
Lin Tai didn't force her to stay. She was stubborn.
He sent someone with her to repair her house and arranged schooling nearby.
The girl was very grateful and often said she'd repay Lin Tai when grown.
Lin Tai didn't take it seriously—he helped out of sympathy.
[Big Brother, will you welcome me when I come to Imperial Capital?] The girl sent a questioning emoji.
[Of course! I'll treat you to a feast. But aren't you in senior year? Why come so soon?] Lin Tai recalled she was still in senior year, planning to come after college entrance exams.
[I was admitted early by Huaqing University.] She sent her acceptance letter.
[Work hard! Big Brother will wait in Imperial Capital and treat you well.]
Lin Tai gave her a smartphone then; their chat lasted ten years; they were like siblings.
[I'll be waiting for that feast.] She sent an eating emoji.
They chatted briefly then logged off.
Lin Tai showered and went to bed.
That night, the video of the fight was leaked online and quickly went viral.
Overnight views exceeded ten million across platforms.
The video was simple—Lin Tai and Ling Weifeng leading street punks beating people at Longteng Hotel.
The video was professionally edited to cut out Ye Bai's beaten scenes, only showing Ye Bai fighting fiercely, knocking down two punks.
Ye Bai appeared heroic, like a deity descending.
The video was short but netizens reacted enthusiastically.
Praise for Ye Bai's kung fu was unanimous.
"Is this real or staged? If real, this man has serious skills."
"So handsome! His punches exude masculine hormones."
"Which company's new star is this?"
"He's no star—just staying at Longteng Hotel."
"Did anyone notice the two young masters behind those punks? One was Lin Family's eldest son Lin Tai, the other the heir of Longteng Hotel, Ling Weifeng!"
"Lin Tai—the notorious Imperial Capital failure?"
"Yeah, only that failure would do such a gang fight."
Lin Tai's notoriety extended beyond the top-tier circle; many in Imperial Capital knew him and disliked him.
Today's video made him a laughingstock overnight.
Ye Bai's reputation skyrocketed.
