Chapter 35:Suona? Why do I need this skill as a driver?
After the police departed, Lin Yang and the bridesmaids exchanged puzzled glances. His eyes reflected apprehension, and even Lin Yang felt a bit remorseful. Honestly, he wasn’t aware that such situations were considered promiscuous. He thought it was just a gathering of men and women having a good time together, not realising it could be perceived differently. Today turned out to be an enlightening experience for him.
If faced with a similar situation, he resolved to be more discreet. He couldn’t linger here any longer, bidding farewell to the group. The recent events had left them shaken, catching them off guard. Before parting ways, Lin Yang exchanged contact information with the girls, thinking there might be an opportunity to meet again and socialise.
Leaving the community, Lin Yang sought refuge in a nearby hotel to rest.
Lying on the bed, Lin Yang looked at the system panel.
[Name: Lin Yang].
[Points: 20134].
[Skills: Magic Rider, Singing].
[Props: None].
Note: You can increase your points by increasing your popularity through live streaming and draw a prize for every 10,000 points you consume.
…
He felt a mild surprise, not anticipating the chance to draw twice. The singing skill proved unexpectedly valuable today. The memory of producing such a natural voice lingered in his mind, leaving him looking forward to the next draw with heightened expectations.
He said silently in his mind: “System, draw!”
[Ding! Consumption of 10,000 points, congratulations on your Kung Fu skills!].
[Ding! Spend 10,000 points, congratulations on winning the skill of playing the suona (Chinese wind instrument), and here’s a complete collection of suona golden melodies as a bonus!].
….
Lin Yang was stunned at the two skills he drew! Excitement and bewilderment washed over him. Kung Fu—a dream for many men—was now in his possession. Despite no visible changes in his body, Lin Yang hesitated, unsure whether the skill would work. Self-harm wasn’t his inclination, and the thought of testing it by punching a wall didn’t appeal to him.
Yet, Kung Fu was a skill he was genuinely satisfied with. However, the second skill, suona playing, left him perplexed. As an online car-hailing driver, playing the suona seemed absurd. Mockingly, he wondered if someone wanted him to provide funeral music. Previously deemed The singing skill somewhat useless, now seemed more practical than suona playing.
Lin Yang considered the suona skill a 10,000-point waste. Regardless, he found solace in acquiring Kung Fu. After a taxing day, he fell asleep content. However, his satisfaction took an unexpected turn that night when the official news account of the Central Mother mentioned him in a Weibo post.
[Bizarre! Today, Lin Yang, a ride-hailing driver in West Sea City, outsmarted a pyramid scheme organisation after accidentally entering their lair. With his quick thinking, he turned the tables on the pyramid scheme and escaped in less than an hour. What’s even more astonishing is that he directly led the pyramid scheme leader to the police station!].
This news was published. Immediately attracted countless netizens to watch.
You know, the name Lin Yang.
The number of screens swiped in the past few days was too much. Many people feel familiar when they see this name on the first day.
[Are there so many people named Lin Yang in our country? Yesterday, the anti-fraud guy was called Lin Yang. In the morning, there seemed to be a drag-racing guy named Lin Yang, and now he met an even better guy named Lin Yang. Could it be that these guys named Lin Yang grew up eating bullshit?].
[Didn’t you see Yang’s mother said that she was an online car-hailing driver? In fact, the three people you mentioned are all the same person. It’s awesome! How on earth did he do it?].
[I see from upstairs that you don’t usually play with your mobile phone very much. Now, you just open a short video platform, and there are video recommendations related to Lin Yang everywhere. This guy is popular!].
[I watched the original video, and it’s really awesome. With his eloquence, I doubt he used to be a pyramid scheme.].
[Speaking of brothers, Lin Yang’s plan to make a fortune is reliable if I invest that money. The profits brought can fully make up for the previous losses.].
[You can be punished for illegal fundraising, do you understand? Zhang San stated that all money-making projects are written in criminal law!].
….
This incident truly challenged the netizens’ perspectives, being a first-time encounter for many. However, it also triggered a surge in scams. Netizens closely examined Lin Yang’s get-rich-quick plan and discovered alarming similarities. These schemes promised high returns and interest rates, luring individuals to invest more until their wealth was handed over.
As suspicions arose about potential Ponzi schemes, victims reached out for refunds, often with unsatisfactory results. Ponzi schemes typically lacked tangible assets, and their projects were fabrications designed to sustain a continuous inflow of money. Once the capital chain faltered, a collapse is inevitable.
This chaotic day kept the police busy, flooded with reports from countless cheated individuals. Recovery of funds proved nearly impossible, leaving victims to cut their losses. Lin Yang’s intervention likely prevented many from financial ruin, and the aftermath sparked a wave of gratitude from netizens in the comments of the hottest original video.
[Thanks to Lin Yang, I voted 20,000 this year and received 3,000 a month. It is said that the benefits are good recently if the return on investment is higher, I saw this video when I was struggling and called directly to ask for money. Guess what… the policeman answered the phone! He told me the man had been caught!].
[Thank you, Lin Yang. My mother was desperately selling the house a few days ago, saying that she wanted to invest it, and she said that the return rate of 10% a month was like a demon. No matter how hard I tried to persuade her, I couldn’t. I showed her this video today and then called to ask for money, but the other party refused to give it!! Although the money was lost, fortunately, the house was not lost.].
[Thanks to Lin Yang, I have successively invested more than 3 million in the past two years and returned 1.8 million. To be honest, I have no doubts about him. But today, I found out that he is a liar. With the help of the police uncle, I got back 500,000. Unfortunately, the liar has no money and will probably spend his whole life on the sewing machine.].
[Hey… I wouldn’t have been deceived so badly if I had seen this video earlier. A friend told me he made a fortune in second-hand cars and asked me to invest. I invested 130,000 yuan and got back 40,000 yuan in half a year. To be honest, I am very excited about the profit. But one day, he suddenly told me that his account had been frozen, and he needed to transfer 2 million to get it unfrozen. I believed his words and transferred another 200,000 to him. I was still waiting until the police caught me. He unfreezes and pays me back.].
….
This video resonated with tens of millions of deceived netizens, unveiling the proximity of scammers. The realisation struck that these fraudsters could be anyone. The comment section transformed into a lamentation space, revealing losses exceeding 10 million for some victims. The Ponzi scheme, an age-old scam, persisted due to the allure of super-high returns.
The comment section, originally for discussion, became a platform for grievances—bankruptcies, broken families, and no restitution. The video gained immense popularity by surpassing tens of millions in likes and collections. Local police stations recognised its potential impact, downloading it as anti-fraud publicity material for their websites.

[Damn it! This song is too good to hear! Who is the original singer? I haven’t heard this song before.].
[The melody is beautiful and artistic, and I burst into tears when I heard it. I don’t know what it means, but this song should be sung for brides.].
[Who knows what this song is called? I searched for a long time but couldn’t find it. I tried more than a dozen music software to listen to and recognise songs but couldn’t find it.].
[Me too, I can’t find it. There is only one possibility: he should have written this song himself!].
….
Countless people are searching for the title of this song, only to be surprised. Nobody has a clue! What’s the deal here? Is Lin Yang some kind of musical genius? Not only does he sing well, but he also penned the song himself! Adding to the buzz from before, Lin Yang is now completely out of the limelight!
That night, various media outlets scrambled to contact Lin Yang, who was live streaming, but all attempts were futile. Despite the potential for a hit album with such a popular single and Lin Yang’s charisma, he was just a contestant on “Happy Workplace Talent.” Cue disappointment.
Several media companies, hoping to sign him, were out of luck. Given its immense popularity, The only viable option was to secure the recording copyright for that song. Considering Lin Yang’s current level of fame, it’s a money-making opportunity.

What are your thoughts on the suspicion of him inciting a crowd for adultery?”
