43: Chapter 43: Who Sold Me Out? 43: Chapter 43: Who Sold Me Out? “I ran into some messy stuff tonight, I’ll tell you more about it later. Xiao Meng, Xiuyun, I just sent a video to your phones. Make sure to keep it safe, don’t delete it for any reason, I want to see it tomorrow at the company.” After carefully instructing Zhao Xiaomeng and Wu Xiuyun, Xia Chenyu handed the phone back to the man with glasses. After the two women nodded, Zhao Xiaomeng said urgently, “President Xia, your health is the priority, I’ll accompany you to the hospital right away.” Xia Chenyu had been unconscious after falling into the water and, although she was awakened by Fang Bai, she still felt somewhat unwell and worried about potential complications. Therefore, she and Zhao Xiaomeng took an ambulance to the hospital to get a medical examination, while Wu Xiuyun stayed behind to handle the aftermath. … The next afternoon, as soon as Fang Bai walked into the classroom of Grade 16 Class 2, he noticed that his classmates were looking at him with strange eyes, as if they had suddenly become strangers to him. Fang Bai halted in his steps and touched his face, wondering what they were looking at. Did I suddenly grow flowers on my face? “Fang Bai, come over here and take a look.” Su Linglong stood up and beckoned to Fang Bai with a smile. When Fang Bai approached, she took out her phone and said, “All over the major online forums and tieba in Zhongzhou, there are posts searching for you, have you seen them?” “What search notices?” Fang Bai was completely bewildered. “You’ll know once you look.” Su Linglong brought her phone in front of Fang Bai. Fang Bai craned his neck looking at the phone screen, his eyes widening in astonishment as he clung to the image displayed on it. In the photo was a young man in his twenties, with fair skin and a sunny, handsome look that was very endearing. The young man wore only a pair of briefs, with a slim build and even muscles, which could be described as perfect. “This guy looks familiar.” Fang Bai pointed at the handsome, perfectly-built young man in the photo. Su Linglong chuckled and said, “You dummy, that’s you!” “Me?” Fang Bai was shocked, took the phone from Su Linglong for a closer look, and then said, “Indeed, it’s me. I didn’t realize I was so handsome and had such an awesome body.” Su Linglong suppressed a smile, “Your photo has been spread all over the major online forums and tieba in Zhongzhou, and now nearly every citizen in Zhongzhou City knows about your deed of bravely saving the drowning person.” Fang Bai sighed, his expression a mix of sadness and indignation, “Others get paid for doing photo shoots, but my youthful and beautiful body is seen for free by millions of people in Zhongzhou City… what a loss!” Su Linglong said with a laugh, “The focus isn’t your photo, but rather the words below it.” Indeed, below the photo there were a few lines of text, roughly stating that a Ms. Xia had fallen into the water the day before and was saved by the young man in the photo. The rescuer had quietly left afterwards, and in order to find her hero, Ms. Xia had specially issued this notice promising a reward of thirty thousand cash to whoever could provide information on the rescuer, along with Ms. Xia’s phone number at the end. Undoubtedly, the most attractive part of the statement was the thirty thousand in cash. After seeing this notice, some classmates and friends of Fang Bai immediately called Ms. Xia’s phone number, hoping to claim the cash reward, only to find out someone had already beaten them to it. “Don’t know which guy was quick enough to provide your details to that Ms. Xia first!” A classmate with a face full of acne lamented. “I had planned to get that ten thousand yuan to buy a smartphone and a laptop, but that’s not happening now,” a pretty girl with a few small freckles on her nose said in disappointment. “Who exactly sold me out?” Fang Bai scanned his classmates with a frantic gaze as he asked. He suspected the clue provided to the Ms. Xia could very likely be from someone in the class. After saving someone last night, he had hoped to leave quietly and remain anonymous. Unexpectedly, this morning, the woman he saved had issued a search notice and even posted his nude photo on online media. Then some bastard must have given his information to her. Now, it would be difficult not to become famous. In the future, walking around Zhongzhou Medical College’s campus, probably many teachers and students would recognize him and then whisper and gossip about him, right? “Some classmate, even if you sold me out, you should at least share that ten thousand yuan with me, right? Even inviting me for a meal would be decent! Otherwise, it’s just too lacking in integrity!” Fang Bai said indignantly. After school at noon, Fang Bai rode his bicycle out of the medical college’s gate and saw Zhou Dabai waiting for him outside. “Fang Bai, don’t go home for lunch, I’ll treat you! You can pick the place and order whatever dishes and drinks you want!” Zhou Dabai said with a grin when they met. “It was you! seaʀᴄh thё nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It must have been you!” Fang Bai noticed Zhou Dabai couldn’t look him in the eye and seemed guilty, which immediately made him understand everything. “It must have been you, you little rat, who sold me out!” Fang Bai glared at Zhou Dabai and said through gritted teeth, “You saw that search notice and contacted Ms. Xia right away, sold my information to her, and then got a reward of thirty thousand yuan from her. Am I right?” Zhou Dabai chuckled nervously, “How did you know?” Fang Bai said annoyedly, “If it wasn’t you who did it, would you be acting so guilty? And would you be so generous as to invite me to eat?” “Truth be told, even if I had stayed silent, could our classmates have held back?” Zhou Dabai brazenly laughed and said, “Hehe, what I did was making sure the water flows into our own fields. There’s money to be made by us! Come on, let’s eat first, then we can split the rest of the money afterwards!” “You…” Just as Fang Bai was about to laugh and scold him, his phone suddenly rang, showing an unfamiliar number. “Is this Fang Bai?” Fang Bai pressed the answer button, and a young woman’s voice came from the other end of the phone, seductive and a bit lazy. Fang Bai immediately recognized the owner of the voice. It was the woman in the red dress he had saved last night, who had also issued the search notice, Ms. Xia. She was indeed persistent. To express her gratitude, she had gone through such a grand gesture to find him. However, it turned out her method was simple and effective. In such a short time, his phone number had fallen into her hands, and he believed she must also know his name and address. Remembering this, Fang Bai could not help but glare at Zhou Dabai again; this guy had sold him out for a mere ten thousand yuan, the very definition of “betraying friends for glory.” Fang Bai had saved someone out of goodwill, not expecting any reward. Otherwise, he believed he could have gotten a hefty reward from the lady in the red dress last night. Being able to drive a Ferrari, the lady in the red dress must be quite wealthy.
