Chu Jin could easily detect the guilt in his tone, and immediately widened her eyes: "What do you mean by 'should'? How exactly did you hit him?"

Lu Jingxiu coughed lightly and glanced out the window: "I'm next door to her, watching a Japanese movie with the volume up all the way."

Chu Jin was dumbfounded.

Lu Jingxiu continued, "I also sent her links to cut prices on Pinduoduo every day, and I would pick my toes in front of her, then eat without washing my hands..."

Chu Jin was speechless, raising her hand to her forehead: "Lu Jingxiu, I asked you to shatter the filter, not to become a pervert!"

She was truly defeated by this fellow villager. Could a normal person come up with such ideas?

"What do you think Lin Yutang will think?" Chu Jin took a breath, trying to calm herself down.

"You think that when she sees you looking like this, she'll say, 'Oh, so that's the kind of person he is. I don't like him anymore,' right?"

"I'm telling you, it's impossible!"

She slammed her hand on the table, her tone full of disappointment and frustration:

"She'll just think that you're willing to ruin your image to help her let go of the past! She'll think to herself, 'Ah, he's so gentle, he's so careful, he must care about me a lot'..."

"Do you understand?!"

The harder you work, the thicker the filter becomes!

Lu Jingxiu's face stiffened.

No way? The filter didn't break? Then isn't his current situation extremely dangerous?

He felt that Chu Jin's words did make some sense.

Think about it, why did I suddenly attract Mo Yan's attention, and why was I suddenly kidnapped yesterday by some unknown domineering CEO?

These troubles all seem to be aimed at his life, don't they?

One thing after another, he's become like a walking disaster magnet, bringing trouble wherever he goes.

If these are not coincidences, then there is only one explanation: Chu Jin is absolutely right.

He felt bitter inside, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to tell the truth.

He lowered his voice and spoke cautiously, "Ahem, there's something else."

"Speak," Chu Jin said, glancing at him sideways.

"Lin Yutang was suspended a couple of days ago." Lu Jingxiu became more and more guilty as he spoke. "I used some connections to get it sorted out, and she should be back in the police force now."

"What?!"

Chu Jin suddenly stood up, her eyes wide: "Do you have a death wish?!"

"Didn't I tell you to stay away from her?! And you still went to help her? Lu Jingxiu, have you lost your mind from being chased by those kidnappers?"

She clearly had a lot more to say, but after opening her mouth, she finally sighed and sat down again.

"Never mind." She rubbed her temples. "Since it's already like this, let's just connect the dots now."

"Why would someone suddenly want to kidnap you?" She looked at Lu Jingxiu. "Because God must have randomly given you another enemy just to kill you."

"Moreover, this new enemy must be even more powerful, so powerful that God feels that he can completely eliminate you with just this one person."

She spoke faster and faster, thinking and analyzing as she spoke: "Why did Mo Yan suddenly target you? This might be one of the reasons."

"Think about it, one is the witty type, the other is the violent type, one uses words, the other uses force, both are equally capable, and they work together."

Chu Jin looked calmly at Lu Jingxiu and said, word by word, "This time, Goddess is going all out to kill you."

Lu Jingxiu's lips twitched.

Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, it seems to be all true.

Chu Jin ignored his expression and continued to summarize: "So, you are now the most complete, safest, and most omnipotent being in Lin Yutang's life."

"You have become a major obstacle to Lin Yutang's storyline."

"Her luck is as good as yours. If she doesn't want to spend the rest of her life repaying your kindness, then you, her benefactor, must disappear."

Lu Jingxiu was silent for a moment, then tentatively asked, "What if I became a scumbag?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Jin didn't rush to answer.

She slowly leaned back in her chair, giving him a lazy glance: "If you're really not afraid of dying, then go ahead."

She paused, then added, "I've already thought of the entire process for you."

"Go to Lin Yutang first and declare your scumbag status. She'll cry for five episodes, then turn evil, and her career will take off."

"As for you..." She sat up straight and looked him up and down with interest. "You'll probably go bankrupt, get a terminal illness, or have some kind of accident."

She was completely in acting mode, her tone light and cheerful: "Then the female lead will look at you and say, 'I don't hate you anymore.'"

"Then, before you die, you repent and weep bitterly. Finally, the female lead holds your portrait and whispers, 'In the next life, don't let it be like this.'"

"Do you think Lin Yutang would say, 'Oh, so that's the kind of person he is. Then I don't like him anymore'?"

"Actually, she would say this..."

Chu Jin clearly hadn't had enough fun yet.

She cleared her throat twice, changed her voice, and began her impromptu performance in a tone that was both tearful and unusually firm:

"Lu Jingxiu! You can't fool me! I know you're only saying these things to make me let go!"

"The more you act like this, the more I'll prove you wrong! I'll become better, so better that you'll regret every word you've said today!"

After saying that, she returned to normal and shrugged: "Then, she will really get better, her career will take off, she will have benefactors to help her, and in the end she will become someone you can't afford to be near."

"You!" Chu Jin pointed at Lu Jingxiu, "and on some rainy night, you'll be captured by the crazy, domineering CEO's men. He'll make you kneel in the rain and force you to say, 'I'm not good enough for her.'"

"Then, I'll have someone run you over with a car."

Lu Jingxiu: "..."

Chu Jin stood up, walked up to Lu Jingxiu, crossed her arms, and looked at him seriously: "Lu Jingxiu, if you really want to break through the filter, there is only one way."

"Go directly to her and tell her that someone is targeting you, and ask her to protect you."

"To transform her from the one being saved into the one being saved."

Seeing that Lu Jingxiu seemed to be deep in thought, she added, "Only when she personally participates in the process of protecting you will she truly feel that you are equals."

"The moment she started protecting you, your relationship changed. You were no longer the all-powerful benefactor, but an ordinary person who needed her."

"Only then will there be hope of shattering the filter."

Lu Jingxiu nodded.

He understood and finally knew what he had to do.

Sure enough, this inexplicable kidnapping was ultimately caused by his using his connections to help Lin Yutang last time.

The heavens intervened too quickly; he had just helped someone, and the other side immediately created a new enemy for him.

We can't delay any longer. If we keep dragging this out, what if God gives him a few more enemies?

He had to listen to Chu Jin quickly, go find Lin Yutang, and ask her to protect him, so as to shatter the perfect benefactor filter.

"Okay," Lu Jingxiu stood up, greeted Chu Jin, and said, "I'll go find her now."

"Go ahead," Chu Jin nestled back into her chair, picked up a strawberry, and waved it at him. "Watch out for cars on the way."

Lu Jingxiu walked out of the office without looking back.
