Chapter 14 Wolf and Fox! The Notorious Drug Lord Liu Haoyu Appears!

【What’s he up to now?】

【Wow, that look is intense!】

【This profile is so handsome! Why is someone this good-looking working as a screenwriter instead of a star?】

【Sis, screenwriters rank much higher than stars, okay?】

【I know, but it feels like such a waste—hiding that face behind the scenes.】

Lu Chen’s sudden striking gaze!

It made viewers and judges alike realize something big was about to happen!

And sure enough—

Lu Chen’s voice came through on screen.

“Hello, viewers of the live broadcast.

I don’t know how many people are watching right now. I don’t know if the judges are in this stream. And I have no idea if the production team can hear what I’m saying.

If neither the judges nor the production team can, I’d like to ask the viewers here to explain this to them later. The next part of the story might be quite explosive!

Please don’t be too surprised. Rest assured, this story is absolutely brimming with positive energy!

Its theme will not cross the production team’s red lines!

That’s all I’ll say for now. I don’t want to spoil anything and ruin the viewing experience. If anyone sees the production team or the judges questioning parts of the plot, please relay my words to them.

Thank you very much!”

After saying this, Lu Chen gave a slight bow to the live-streaming audience. Then he turned back to the whiteboard, continuing to piece together the next part of the escape to Hong Kong!

At this moment—Lu Chen’s words caused shockwaves!!

Not just among the 400,000+ viewers in the live stream!

The judges and the production team were stunned too.

…………

【Holy crap, isn’t smuggling already dramatic enough? What’s coming next that could top that?】

【What kind of story does he have brewing in his head?!】

【There’s going to be something more explosive than smuggling? Is he going to sell weapons in Hong Kong? Dominate Hong Kong’s financial world? Return home in glory to develop Tazhai?】

【Man, you’re definitely a writer. That hook—you really know what you’re doing!】

【I’m so hyped I could cry! Hurry up and write already, no more stalling! Write, write, write!!!!】

【Am I the only one who feels differently? I think this story might be heading toward a bad ending!】

【Why do you say that?】

【Think about it. We’re watching Lin Yaodong for his descent into darkness! What’s the point of “positive energy”? If there’s a forced redemption arc, won’t that ruin the ending?】

【You make a good point!】

【Exactly! If he forces a redemption arc, this story will be completely ruined—and it’ll be awful!】

【You’re making me less excited about it now. I don’t want some forced redemption—it’s disgusting!】

【Same here! These forced redemption plots have been everywhere lately, and nearly every one flops!】

【If he dares to force a redemption, I’ll give it a 1-star review!】

【Same!】

As Lu Chen’s fans continued their analysis and commentary, the judges’ room fell silent. Shu Ping and the others exchanged glances once more.

“You know, the viewers make a lot of sense.”

“If Lu Chen really tries to force a redemption arc, even if it’s positive energy, the main character’s entire persona will collapse!

The key appeal of this story lies in the protagonist—if he collapses, the story’s done for!”

Yan Geling let out a sigh.

This story…

is truly a tough one to write.

Or perhaps…

from the very beginning, Lu Chen’s starting point was flawed!

“The story’s hit a dead end!”

Chen Sicheng’s tone carried a hint of schadenfreude.

That’s what you get for writing a dark protagonist!

Now look at you—stuck because the production team demands positivity.

Keep writing him dark, and you’re dead!

Force a redemption arc, and you’re dead too!

Let’s see how you get out of this one!

…………

In the room, Lu Chen thought for a moment, then picked up his pen and continued writing!

The upcoming storyline…

marked the official debut of Hong Kong’s notorious drug lord, Liu Haoyu, in Breaking the Ice!

…………

[After escaping to Hong Kong, Lin Yaodong and his younger brother, Lin Yaohua, initially felt hopeless about their future.

As outsiders in a completely unfamiliar place, survival was bound to be an uphill battle. But Lin Yaodong was not one to admit defeat. The more desperate the situation, the more determined he was to survive!

With his bold and tenacious nature, along with the capital he had amassed over the years, Lin Yaodong set his sights on real estate!

At the time, Hong Kong’s real estate market was booming, with skyscrapers rising everywhere. Though Lin Yaodong didn’t have the resources to take on large projects, his cleverness and knack for networking allowed him to develop a few small projects.

Though he didn’t make a fortune, he at least managed to establish himself in Hong Kong.

During this time, Lin Yaodong met someone.

That person’s name… was Liu Haoyu.

After a few encounters, the two collaborated on a few projects and made some modest profits together.

Through these interactions, Lin Yaodong gained a deeper understanding of Liu Haoyu’s capabilities. It turned out that Liu Haoyu was not just involved in real estate.

His primary business was in transportation—specifically, ocean freight. He was the CEO of a multinational logistics company!

Additionally, he had investments in various other industries, including real estate. This left Lin Yaodong stunned. He hadn’t expected someone around his own age to be so accomplished!

What was more, Liu Haoyu wasn’t a ‘second-generation rich kid’. He had built this empire from scratch!

Lin Yaodong admired Liu Haoyu greatly. Likewise, Liu Haoyu thought highly of Lin Yaodong. Thanks to Lin Yaodong’s reliability and meticulousness in their joint projects. Liu Haoyu began to see him in a new light, believing that Lin Yaodong had immense potential.

As their relationship deepened, so did their conversations. One evening at dinner, after a few drinks, Lin Yaodong confessed the real reason he had come to Hong Kong.

When Liu Haoyu learned that Lin Yaodong was a smuggler, he was shocked. At first, he had assumed Lin Yaodong was just an ordinary mainland entrepreneur trying his luck in Hong Kong. But it turned out, this guy was no ordinary businessman!

Suddenly, Liu Haoyu found himself even more intrigued by Lin Yaodong…].

…………

【Damn, that last line gave me goosebumps!】

【Bro, don’t make this a romance, okay?!】

【Clearly, Liu Haoyu isn’t some saint either!】

【For someone to run such a massive business at around 30, Liu Haoyu must be extraordinary!】

【No doubt Liu Haoyu is going to have a huge influence on Lin Yaodong!】

…………

[And so, another six months passed. During this time, Liu Haoyu secretly observed Lin Yaodong. He admired Lin Yaodong’s capability and efficiency. Their joint projects went smoothly, requiring almost no oversight. Though the profits weren’t huge, Liu Haoyu became increasingly impressed by Lin Yaodong’s ambition, competence, and hunger for wealth.

Moreover, Lin Yaodong was bold and unafraid to take risks. All of these traits convinced Liu Haoyu that Lin Yaodong was a talent worth cultivating. Through various connections, Liu Haoyu investigated Lin Yaodong’s background thoroughly.

He looked into everything—his identity, family, home address, relationships, and more. He found nothing suspicious—just an ordinary working-class family.

Lin Yaodong’s rags-to-riches story aligned perfectly with his own account—starting as a poor boy, collecting scrap, moving on to car smuggling, and finally fleeing to Hong Kong. His record was remarkably ‘clean.’

With his doubts cleared, Liu Haoyu decided to proceed with a long-cherished plan. He wanted to propose a new venture to Lin Yaodong. This venture was Liu Haoyu’s true line of business. A business that couldn’t see the light of day but promised unimaginable profits!].

When Lu Chen’s writing reached this point—

Gasp!

Viewers, judges, and even the production team collectively felt their hearts leap!

[A business that couldn’t see the light of day?].

[And promised unimaginable profits!].

What kind of dangerous game was this?

In that moment, the audience’s and judges’ hearts were in their throats!
