Chapter 23: You Still Return Lost Money Honestly?

[Page 1/3]

[New here, can someone tell me—is this the real-life version of Vice City?]
[Grand Theft Auto! Just drive off, who cares whose car it is, I know this all too well!]

As they say, “the more popular you are, the more trouble you attract.” With more viewers watching the show, the number of petty trolls showing their true colors grew, and a group of playful fans began making jokes.

Clearly, aside from the reality game and the show’s entertainment value, no one could figure out why Gu Yin was doing all this.

Someone in the livestream chat asked:
[Coach Gu doesn’t look dumb, right? What’s his angle here?]

Gu Yin didn’t seem like a fool at all. Just last night, when he dealt with that reckless driver Wang Lu who cut in line, he was methodical and didn’t take any losses.

So why would he now drive someone else’s car further and further away just to prove a point?

What exactly was he after?

No one knew where this was headed, so almost everyone who joined the livestream later stayed to see how it would end. The viewer retention was shockingly high!

Gu Yin’s livestream, titled “Driving Instructor and Ride-Hailing Driver,” steadily climbed the rankings in the automotive category of the show *Reconciled with Life*. It had now reached third place, surpassing some popular car bloggers with huge followings.

And that was without any promotion from Director Han’s side. If they did push it, overtaking some celebrities wouldn’t be a problem at all.

“Stop laughing, ancestor!”

Inside Gu Yin’s white Cadillac CT5, Mengmeng stared at Xia Qianyi, who was smiling in a way that made her uneasy, and urged:
“Call him and tell him to stop. Please don’t let this get out of hand!”

She knew Xia Qianyi hadn’t been in a stable state of mind recently, but she never expected her to be laughing just now. Mengmeng couldn’t figure out what was so funny.

Xia Qianyi shrugged her delicately angled shoulders ambiguously and pursed her rosy lips in the direction Gu Yin was driving toward.

“Hmm?”

Mengmeng blinked and followed Xia Qianyi’s gaze. What she saw stunned her.

Gu Yin was driving that white Cadillac CT5—whose owner was unknown to him—straight toward a blue gate.

A sign beside the gate clearly read: “Qingquan Street Police Station.”

The red taillights flashed as Gu Yin braked and signaled, then drove the car right into the police station!

[???]

Not only Mengmeng, but also the viewers watching the livestream were dumbfounded!

[Ha, so this guy’s going to turn himself in?]

[LOL, I never expected this ending!]

[Turn himself in? Bro, your imagination is too small. Coach Gu is playing on another level!]

[Pfft... I think I’m starting to guess what Coach Gu’s up to.]

...

Those who thought Gu Yin was going to confess were fools; the seasoned veterans quickly saw through his true intentions.

For a moment, the comment section was filled with applause and cheers...

And Mengmeng in the back seat muttered like a trendsetter:
“Is he really going to turn himself in?”

Mengmeng thought to herself, this guy must be nuts. If he wanted to confess, why not just drive to a quiet spot near the school and call the cops? The situations were totally different!

If anyone had looked at Xia Qianyi’s stunning face, partly hidden under a gray cap, they would have seen a look best described as “speechless.”

“Drive in.”

Without a word of hesitation, Xia Qianyi ordered Mengmeng to follow Gu Yin into the police station.

“Are we sure we want to get involved in this mess?” Mengmeng hesitated.

“In.” The young woman’s voice was resolute and unwavering.

“...I really can’t believe you guys...”

Summoning all her courage, Mengmeng drove the car in after Gu Yin.

The security guard at the gate tried to stop them, but when Gu Yin said, “I want to file a report,” the guard let them through.

Inside the station, as soon as Gu Yin parked, a young officer came out. Seeing Gu Yin’s dusty appearance, he frowned and asked:
“What’s the matter? What happened?”

At that moment, Xia Qianyi and Mengmeng also arrived.

In front of everyone, Gu Yin casually pointed to the white Cadillac and said:
“I saw this car parked outside Experimental Middle School. It was still running, blocking a lot of cars behind it. We didn’t know whose car it was and couldn’t find the owner after looking for a while. I thought I couldn’t just leave it there because what if someone stole it? So I decided to drive it here and hand it over to the police to take care of.”

Upon hearing this...

[...]

Many viewers were stunned.

Mengmeng, who had come with Xia Qianyi, widened her eyes in disbelief.

Then...

[Pfft... hahahaha...]

Almost all the viewers burst out laughing, and the comment section went wild:

[Alright, alright, I underestimated him. Didn’t expect Coach Gu to have this trick up his sleeve!]

[Hahaha... he’s slick, he caught me off guard!]

[Gu Yin: Who isn’t a good kid who returns lost property these days?]

[The female owner of the Cadillac: Lost property? You’re delusional!]

...

The audience laughed so hard their stomachs hurt. Everyone agreed it was worth waiting this long—the outcome was truly satisfying!

Just a moment ago!

Some still thought Gu Yin was going to surrender himself;

But after hearing his explanation, they realized Coach Gu was actually preemptively reporting a “crime.”

He drove the Cadillac to the police, acting like a model citizen who found and returned lost property—it was hilarious!

“Pfft... oh my god, I really...”

Even Director Han Chuan, who had been closely monitoring Gu Yin’s livestream for *Reconciled with Life*, was left speechless and chuckling helplessly.

No one expected Gu Yin to be this cunning!

“???”

It’s worth mentioning that the young officer at the police station was baffled by Gu Yin’s story, his face full of question marks, as if to say:

“Do you even realize what you’re saying?”

What kind of nonsense is it to say you saw a car running and parked outside a school, so you just brought it here?

Does that even sound like something a normal human being would say?

It was utterly absurd and illogical!

Not just this young officer—probably even the most experienced, battle-hardened veteran cop would never have encountered such a case in their career.

It was flat-out ridiculous!

Was he supposed to praise Gu Yin for being “honest and upright”?

What a joke!
