Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 1133 It's me!

As the saying goes, Labor Day is not for labor, Children's Day is not for children, Tomb Sweeping Day is not for tomb sweeping, Mid-Autumn Festival is not for family reunion, only Valentine's Day is for true lovers.

Right, it's May Day, but everyone goes to rest during the holiday. In the past, teachers would lead students to plant trees on Labor Day. Lin Mo still remembers it from his elementary school days. Although he was young at the time and most of the time the older students dug the holes, he still participated.

But now it seems like everyone has a holiday for Labor Day, whether they are teachers, students, or office workers.

As for those who don't get a holiday on Labor Day, they're in an even worse situation; it's better not to work at all.

Children's Day, which should theoretically be a holiday for elementary school children or even kindergarten children, has now become a holiday that many girls must celebrate during their dating period.

I don't know what's wrong with me. When I'm not in a relationship, I never celebrate Children's Day, but once I'm in a relationship, I wish I could celebrate Tomb Sweeping Day too, let alone Children's Day.

The Qingming Festival is relatively normal, but there are still many people who live in other places and can't make it back during the two-day holiday, or it's too crowded, so they don't go home.

Even someone as unhurried as Lin Mo didn't mention going home to visit graves during the Qingming Festival. Of course, although he didn't go home, his parents were there, and people visited their graves in their hometown.

Not to mention the Mid-Autumn Festival, many people can't even go home for the Qingming Festival, let alone reunite with their families for the Mid-Autumn Festival. For them, receiving a mooncake from their workplace is considered like celebrating the New Year.

Even the Spring Festival, the biggest festival for Chinese people, has seen its festive atmosphere fade year by year, and this change is happening at a visible rate.

You know, Lin Mo had a strong sense of New Year's spirit when he was a child. Of course, those born in the 80s and 90s had an even stronger sense of New Year's spirit, and some even started preparing for the New Year as soon as the twelfth lunar month began.

But that's not the case now. Now, celebrating the New Year seems to be just about going home to visit relatives. It's all sustained by the Chinese people's deep-seated belief in returning home for the Spring Festival.

However, only Valentine's Day truly lives up to its name. Whether you're a real couple or a fake mistress, it's the real Valentine's Day.

True couples keep their flowers at home, while fake couples leave them in the trash. Even hotels are fully booked that day.

Although there have been far fewer similar Valentine's Day promotions in the past two years, and the "simp economy" has begun to collapse, it can only be said that the overall quantity has decreased, but the quality has not declined.

Today is the second day of the May Day holiday, and there are still many tourists, and hotels are doing very well.

Putting everything else aside, at least there are more cars on the streets, and if you go to tourist attractions, you can clearly feel the increase in tourists.

"No way, who arranged this? Putting both of them in the same hospital? Isn't that crazy?"

Standing at the hospital entrance, Lin Mo was surprised to learn that all four men and two women from both sides had been in the hospital the previous night, and that their rooms were even on the same floor.

Upon hearing this, the Sichuan girl said helplessly, "It's the hospital and the police's arrangement, right? It couldn't be me!"

Lin Mo: "Then it's alright!"

Miss Yuan, standing to the side, laughed and said, "Last night, an ambulance came to the hospital and took four men there. The two girls were brought there by the police. What a coincidence!"

Yesterday, apart from the four men who didn't go to the police station, Lin Mo and the two victims were all called in. However, the two women were fine. After going to the hospital, they went back to the hotel and only went to the hospital again this morning.

Of course, this time it's not for medical treatment, but for compensation. I can't just let someone slap me for nothing, so I have to take this opportunity to get a full check-up. Anyway, I don't have to pay for it myself.

As they spoke, the crowd surged upstairs. With Miss Yuan's inside information, they certainly wouldn't have gone to the wrong place.

'Dengdengdeng'

Lin Mo stood at the door of the ward, knocked, and smiled, "Hello, I'm the hotel owner. I've come to see you. Are you feeling better?"

Regardless of whether these two girls are respectable people or have messy private lives, once they come to his hotel, they are guests. The incident happened in his hotel, so it's fine for him to visit them. Why should he care what dating apps they use? As long as they don't do anything illegal or disorderly in his hotel, the rest is none of his business.

If someone uses drugs in his hotel, he'll call the police as soon as he finds out.

The ward was quite small, with only three beds. One of the beds was empty, and Yang Yanhong and her friend were each lying on one of the beds playing on their phones.

Upon hearing the sound, they all turned their heads.

"Oh, it's you, Brother Shou! Thank you so much for yesterday! Come on in!" Yang Yanhong quickly stood up and said with a smile.

Although she got slapped for being sweet-talking, she's already recovered, except for some red marks and swelling on her left cheek.

"Li Shiya~ Li Shiya is here too!" Wang Xiu exclaimed in surprise when she saw the people who came in with her.

The two women were around the same age as Liu Ruyan, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight. Although they were definitely a bit older than them, there wasn't much of a generation gap among them.

Lin Mo and the others came in and casually put down the fruit and yogurt they had bought. After all, they couldn't come to the hospital empty-handed, could they? They had just bought these things on the roadside.

After yesterday's events, Li Shiya has successfully turned the two into fans. Well, what can you do when someone is a big internet celebrity?

"Of course, it happened at my hotel after all. I'm glad you're all alright!" Lin Mo said with a smile.

Miss Yuan, sitting on the hospital bed, took a bite of an apple and laughed, "Hey, what are you two planning to do? The police should have already tried to mediate between you, right?"

If you're willing, I can provide you with legal aid and you can file a lawsuit directly in court. However, given the extent of your injuries, the other party will at most face detention. It's definitely a case of disturbing the peace, but they probably won't be able to convict you of indecent assault or rape. Hey, Mo-zai, you acted too soon!

"If we wait any longer, and they drag us into the room or force us in, tearing our clothes, there's a real possibility of rape or molestation," Miss Yuan said with a regretful expression.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo coughed twice: "Ahem, Sister Yuan, we can't just watch them continue to be beaten back then, can we?"

Besides, the opponent didn't hold back at all when they attacked!

"Oh right, right, look at me, I forgot how serious the situation was," Miss Yuan realized, somewhat embarrassed, and then continued, "So, what do you think, are you going to have them detained, or..."

Upon hearing this, the two women exchanged a glance, and then Yang Yanhong said, "We came out to have fun, and we can't stay here for long. If the other party is sincere, we can talk!"

Everyone understood what he meant. Simply put, if the compensation was high enough, they wouldn't pursue the matter further, but if it was too low, they definitely wouldn't agree.

Although they were all somewhat disappointed, they could understand, since not everyone is free from financial pressure.

During this period, the police must have mediated between the two parties. Although the specific compensation has not been finalized, there should be a rough estimate.

"That's fine then. By the way, there's something I'd like to ask you two for help with," Chuanmei said at that moment.

Upon hearing this, the two women were taken aback.

"What is it?"

Then the woman from Sichuan explained her purpose: she wanted to post yesterday's events, along with the hotel surveillance footage and other materials he had taken, on her account. Since it involved portrait rights, she naturally needed the consent of both of them.

The two women readily agreed to the request. Firstly, they were both unmarried and had no families. Secondly, they were the victims and naturally hoped the matter would escalate, as this would benefit them.

Besides, this is Li Shiya, a popular internet celebrity with nearly ten million followers. It's beneficial for them to do this. Others have to pay her to advertise for them, but they don't need to pay. Maybe after the video is updated, the two of them can also take the opportunity to gain more fans and enter the self-media field.

After all, both women felt they were pretty, and with the help of beauty filters, they could definitely make a living in this industry. They just hadn't had the opportunity before, and now that they did, they were determined to seize it.

So when faced with Chuanmei's suggestion, the two of them cooperated in every way, saying it was fine, and they just hoped that when Li Shiya posted the video, she would tag their short video accounts.

During this time, the two women kept trying to find topics to talk to Lin Mo, but Lin Mo stood in front of the window and just smiled politely. He was impeccably polite. Even when the two women asked him to add them on WeChat so they could thank him and send him some local specialties after they got home, he didn't refuse tactfully. He just said that it was what he should do as the boss.

"Oh my, a hero saving a damsel in distress! What are you afraid of? Add me on WeChat!"

After they came out, Miss Yuan whispered some yin-yang talk to herself, which made the others chuckle.

There was no way around it; the two women were too obviously after all. Even a fool could see it. After all, Lin Mo was now considered a handsome man with both money and good looks, so naturally he was very attractive to the opposite sex.

"Don't mess with me, I didn't mean anything by it. Besides, have you ever seen a hotel owner add guests' contact information?" Lin Mo rolled his eyes at him.

Sichuan Girl: "Exactly, Lao Mo has a girlfriend now, so he definitely can't do that kind of thing!"

He Xiaoyue: "You don't have a boyfriend, and they're still your fans, why don't you add them? Maybe there's something going on?"

Sichuan girl: "Ugly girls are a no-go. I must find a girlfriend with a supermodel figure. Even Lao Mo doesn't want her, so I don't want her either!"

Director Wang: "If neither of you wants it, then I don't want it either!"

Squad leader: "Shut the hell up, or I'll slap you!"

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this. Director Wang must be out of his mind to dare to act like this in front of his girlfriend. Getting beaten up would be the least of his worries.

Soon, the group arrived at the other side of the corridor, where a ward for four men was located.

This time, the group wasn't so polite. Miss Yuan took the lead, kicking open the ward door and swaggering in. She looked at the four men with bandages on their heads and sneered, "Oh, you guys are lying here. What's wrong? Sober yet? Did you enjoy the beating?"

Upon hearing this, the four turned around and saw Lin Mo and his group. As the saying goes, enemies are especially hostile when they meet.

Besides, although they drank alcohol yesterday, they weren't drunk. They remembered what happened before, let alone after they were beaten.

Those who bring up the excuse of drunken promiscuity or impulsive behavior are actually just making excuses. People who are really drunk are not aware of their surroundings. Let alone promiscuity, they don't even have that function at that time; they are practically half-eunuchs.

As for those who act impulsively after drinking, why don't they go and fight with the police? To put it bluntly, they are just bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong, making excuses for their behavior.

"You are you."

One of the men pointed at the group and shouted, and the four of them immediately sat up.

Upon seeing this, Miss Yuan immediately retreated, hiding behind Lin Mo, and then peeked out:

It's me!

Everyone:
