Chapter 101 (part 2): Rebirth of the Tool Man in a Pampered Protagonist Novel

Then, Butler He said to the suited man watching the scene, “The person is yours, just don’t kill him,” and turned to leave.

Seeing Butler He leave so easily, Yan Tong truly panicked.

No matter how he screamed, Butler He didn’t stop or look back, soon disappearing from sight.

Desperately, Yan Tong turned to the suited man who seemed kind but exuded danger, pleading in fear,

“Brother, please, let me go. I’m very useful. I know a very powerful scientist. I can help you make connections.”

“Do you know how profitable scientific research is now? You’ve heard of New World Technology, right? The person I know is even more impressive than that company. Let me go, and we can cooperate. I’m really useful.”

“Brother, believe me, please, believe me…”

Yan Tong pleaded, snot and tears running down his face, exposing his trump card to strangers in his desperation.

He still had his golden finger, the magical data within it. Faced with immense profits, no one could resist.

But he couldn’t stay here. This place didn’t feel right!

However, he had previously stored his necklace in a bank safety deposit box for security, fearing it might be lost or stolen if carried around. Without it on him, he couldn’t provide proof.

And the people in front of him wouldn’t believe him anyway.

The Caesar cruise ship was a place for wealthy people to have fun, constantly sailing in international waters, and many shady activities took place there.

The suited man was the manager in charge of the “staff” on the ship and had seen many people “sent” like Yan Tong. Such desperate pleas didn’t move them at all.

Besides, Butler He had paid a significant amount of money for them to “take good care” of this person.

“Take him away and train him well…”

The suited man smiled slightly, prying Yan Tong’s hands off without mercy.

Yan Tong was about to face a miserable life on the Caesar cruise ship.

Meanwhile, Lu Yan and the second branch of the Xie family were also having a hard time.

When Lu Yan woke up in the hospital again, hearing the assistant’s report, he felt like fainting once more.

“What did you say? Say it again! Why can’t my injury be treated? Transfer me to another hospital, get the best foreign specialists. My injury isn’t that serious!”

Lu Yan roared and pounded on the bed, unable to accept reality.

The assistant, trembling at his menacing appearance, still braved on,

“The doctor said your injury is irreparable and can only be completely removed… Your face can be fixed with plastic surgery, but it will likely leave scars.”

“And, sir, your previous endorsements have all reported issues in the past few days. There might be some legal battles.”

“AD Fashion, Sophie Jewelry, KJIAS Cars, and the Quan Mou production team… All called, saying that due to your tarnished image, you breached the contracts, and they’re demanding termination and compensation for damages…”

“I’ve contacted Manager Xiao multiple times, but he said he won’t handle your matters anymore.”

The assistant’s voice trembled. He knew how troublesome the past few days had been.

After Lu Yan’s manager quit in anger, the assistant, needing his job to pay the mortgage, had to step in.

But he never expected the situation to be so much worse than imagined.

Lu Yan’s scandal of impregnating someone’s fiancé hadn’t died down when it was revealed that several of his endorsed products had quality issues, causing his already fragile popularity to plummet further. With his image shattered, he was now seen as an unethical endorser who deceived consumers.

Consequently, ongoing and upcoming endorsements and film contracts were all being terminated, with demands for compensation.

The assistant hadn’t calculated the exact amount, but the breach of contract penalties were likely several billion! Plus, Lu Yan’s career in entertainment was probably over.

Most importantly, Lu Yan was now incapacitated and could never be a normal man again.

This scandal had cost Lu Yan everything!

Lu Yan knew his situation, but he couldn’t believe it.

His career was over, his face was ruined, he could no longer be a man, and the child in Yan Tong’s womb was gone.

Reaching this point, what was the use of having money?

Lying in the hospital, Lu Yan felt immense regret and despair.

…

The second branch of the Xie family was also in turmoil.

After returning from visiting Xie Wenxu in prison, Madam Zhou grew increasingly uneasy, especially recalling Xie Wenxu’s last words, which filled her with inexplicable anxiety.

What did he mean by “I might not be as good as Xie Zheng, but I’m enough to deal with you”?

Was that brat planning to turn against his own family?

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became.

Before she could figure it out, bad news arrived.

“What? Yan Tong is missing?!”

The news hit the second branch of the Xie family like a lightning bolt.

How could Yan Tong go missing? What would they do now?

Without Yan Tong, how could they cooperate with the mysterious scientist? How would their planned research projects continue?

They had already sold off many assets to focus on establishing a tech company.

If Yan Tong was gone, all their investments would be in vain!

“We checked at the hospital. Butler He took him, but after leaving the hospital, he didn’t return. He boarded a ship and sailed away…”

The person investigating the matter reported anxiously.
