Why didn't you tell me earlier that my little sister is still waiting for me?

Seeing Lin Bufan stand up and leave, Zhuge Dasheng quickly chased after him: "Mr. Lin, is this the end?"

Lin Bufan stopped and spread his hands as if it was a matter of course: "Hasn't this been investigated clearly? Lightning committed the crime because he was seduced by Zhang Ming's beauty!"

Zhuge Dasheng held his forehead, resisting the urge to roll his eyes. "Mr. Lin, have you forgotten something important?"

"What did you forget?" Lin Bufan scratched his head, and suddenly realized: "Oh, right! I have to ask the police uncle if he can take that bastard Lightning out. Although he did make a mistake, considering it's his first offense, he should be given a chance to reform!"

"That's not what I'm talking about!" Zhuge Dasheng finally lost his composure, his voice rising an octave. "Do you think the police will accept your dog-language translation as evidence? Can a dog's testimony be used to convict a person in court?"

Lin Bufan blinked his eyes, looking innocent: "Why not? Sang Biao translated it very clearly. Zhang Ming used her beauty to seduce Lightning into committing a crime. The evidence is irrefutable!"

"That's what you think!" Zhuge Dasheng took a deep breath, trying to maintain his professionalism. "Legally speaking, an animal's confession has no validity. What we need is physical evidence, witnesses, or Zhang Ming's own confession."

"So troublesome?" Lin Bufan curled his lips: "How about this, I ask Sang Biao to write a written certificate? Put a dog paw print? Guarantee it with its dog character!"

Zhuge Dasheng was almost so angry that he laughed: "Mr. Lin, I am serious, so please be serious too!"

Seeing that Zhuge Dasheng was about to get angry, Lin Bufan could only straighten his expression: "Okay, okay, I'm serious, I'm serious!"

Zhuge Dasheng analyzed, "Zhang Ming refused to admit his crime because there's a key legal loophole here. If the lightning was an autonomous act, under current law, the pet's owner is solely liable for civil compensation for property damage. However, if the owner instigated the pet to commit a crime, that constitutes a criminal offense."

The total value of the stolen goods seized from Zhang Ming’s home exceeds one million yuan..."

Lin Bufan couldn't help but exclaimed, "Holy crap! Is this dog really that good at stealing? If we get a few more, wouldn't our annual revenue be over 100 million?"

Seeing Zhuge Dasheng's face gradually darkening, Lin Bufan hurriedly said, "Aunt Dasheng, tell me what you want to say!"

After taking a deep breath and suppressing the urge to beat Lin Bufan to death, Zhuge Dasheng continued, "The amount of money Lightning stole has reached the standard of being enormous. If he admits to incitement, he will face at least three years in prison. But if he insists that it was Lightning's own actions, he only needs to compensate for the losses, that is, return the stolen goods, and most likely the matter will be over."

After listening to Zhuge Dasheng's analysis, Lin Bufan stroked his chin and said thoughtfully, "I didn't expect Zhang Ming, a programmer, to be so smart. If I had known this was possible, I should have let Sang Biao earn some extra money!"

Zhuge Dasheng finally lost his patience and stood on tiptoe to slap Lin Bufan on the back of the head. "Get serious! We're discussing how to quickly clear Lightning's name and restore Paradise's reputation!"

After defeating Lin Bufan, Zhuge Dasheng patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief!

call--

Sure enough, when you are angry, you just need to vent it!

Lin Bufan covered his head and grimaced, "Aunt Dasheng, you're really strong..."

"Call me Lawyer Zhuge!"

"Okay, Aunt Dasheng, no problem, Aunt Dasheng."

……

Lin Bufan accompanied the furious Zhuge Dasheng and told the police all the clues he knew, hoping that the police would solve the case as soon as possible. At the same time, Lin Bufan expressed his hope to bring Lightning back to "Biaoge Paradise" for discipline.

After hearing Lin Bufan's request, the police officer frowned as they flipped through the case records. As a key accomplice in the case, Lightning should be temporarily in police custody. However, considering that Lightning was just a dog and the police station lacked the staff to care for him, the police officer finally relented and agreed to take Lightning back to the correctional facility after Lin Bufan signed a guarantee.

After coming out of the police station, Lin Bufan rubbed his hands and approached Zhuge Dasheng: "Aunt Dasheng, it's almost noon. How about we have a meal together? I know a very authentic restaurant nearby..."

"No need for that." Zhuge Dasheng interrupted Lin Bufan swiftly. "Miss Zhu asked me to clarify the matter for Brother Biao Paradise as soon as possible, so I can't just rely on the police. I also need to hurry and conduct an on-site investigation."

Lin Bufan thought so too. The sooner this kind of thing is resolved, the better. So, Lin Bufan immediately decided, "Aunt Dasheng, I'll go with you to investigate! I know the most about lightning, so I can definitely help!"

Zhuge Dasheng looked at Lin Bufan suspiciously: "Mr. Lin, you are so enthusiastic, don't you have any other purpose?"

"How could that be!" Lin Bufan said sincerely: "I just want to resolve this matter as soon as possible..." As he was speaking, Lin Bufan's cell phone suddenly rang.

After answering the phone, Lin Bufan said with a disappointed look on his face: "Aunt Dasheng, there's something wrong with the crew. I have to go back and deal with it immediately. I can't accompany you anymore."

Zhuge Dasheng didn't want to be with Lin Bufan in the first place, but now he agreed: "Mr. Lin, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I will take care of this matter!"

Looking at Zhuge Dasheng's impatient expression, Lin Bufan felt that this was not right. If they separated like this, it would be difficult to find a reason to meet again next time!

Just when Lin Bufan was thinking hard, the dog Lightning, who was being led by him, suddenly barked. Seeing this, Lin Bufan suddenly had an idea!

"Aunt Dasheng, you just saw it too, that Sang Biao attitude. If I bring Lightning back to Brother Biao's Paradise now, it will definitely kill Lightning! Otherwise... could you help take care of it for a few days? Wait until the case is fully investigated?"

Zhuge Dasheng frowned and refused decisively: "No, I don't have time to take care of a dog."

"Aunt Dasheng, please listen to me!" Lin Bufan quickly explained, "Lightning is an important witness in this case. Until the case is over, shouldn't we protect him more?"

Zhuge Dasheng was clearly hesitant, so Lin Bufan immediately struck while the iron was hot: "Lightning is very smart. It can remember all the places it has stolen. Bring it with you during your investigation, and your efficiency will definitely double!"

"This..." Zhuge Dasheng looked at Lightning, who was full of anticipation, and finally relented: "Okay, I'll take care of it for now. But I'll return it to you once the case is over."

"Thank you so much!" Lin Bufan was overjoyed and immediately took out his phone: "Then let's add each other's contact information so that Aunt Dasheng can contact me anytime if she has any questions."

Zhuge Dasheng reluctantly scanned Lin Bufan’s QR code, and the two added each other as friends.

After adding the contact information, Lin Bufan did not leave immediately. Instead, he grabbed Lightning's collar and hid behind the police car. He squatted down and said in a low voice: "Lightning, you have seen the attitude of that dog Sang Biao. If you go back to Brother Biao's Paradise now, it will make you into a dog meat hot pot!" As he said that, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Lightning was so scared that his whole body trembled. He looked at Lin Bufan with tears in his eyes and his tail tucked between his legs.

"But don't be afraid," Lin Bufan pointed mysteriously at Zhuge Dasheng, who was sorting documents in the distance. "See that beautiful aunt? Her house is your livelihood!"

Lightning tilted his head and made a "wu" sound, as if he understood something.

"I've only bought you a few days. If you don't succeed in getting this aunt to take you in, I can't guarantee what Sang Biao will do to you!"

When Lightning heard this, his ears immediately stood up, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He had seen the terrifying look of Sang Biao when he was angry!

Seeing that the intimidation was almost over, Lin Bufan finally revealed his true purpose: "This aunt has an 18-year-old daughter named Zhuge Dali, who is very beautiful..."

At this point, Lin Bufan looked around warily. After making sure that no one was around, he continued, "If you can help me woo Zhuge Dali, I promise to arrange blind dates for you with the most beautiful bitches every day and let you live the life of an emperor!"

After listening to Lin Bufan's words, Lightning's ears moved slightly, his eyes looked a little hesitant, and his tail just shook symbolically, obviously he was not in a good mood.

Seeing this, Lin Bufan narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice to continue, "Lightning, if you do me this favor, I will support you in Brother Biao's Paradise! Whenever that bastard Sang Biao sees you, he will have to respectfully call you Brother!"

Lightning's ears instantly stood up, his eyes widened, and his tail began to wag wildly unconsciously.

Lin Bufan struck while the iron was hot and continued to tempt: "Also, Sang Biao's luxurious doghouse will be yours from now on! You can live in it however you want, and you can tear it down however you want!"

Now, Lightning was completely excited. He turned around three times on the spot, then barked twice. His face was full of eagerness to try, and he almost stood at attention and saluted on the spot.

Lin Bufan looked at Lightning's reaction and sighed silently in his heart: As expected, beauty is worthless in the face of power!

After parting with Zhuge Dasheng, Lin Bufan hurried back to the set. Before he even entered, he heard Li Chao's roar: "Chen Meijia! This is the 23rd time! Can't you remember three lines?! Are you a goldfish?!"

In the middle of the set, Chen Meijia clutched the script with a look of grievance, her eyes reddening. "Director, I really tried my best...but these words keep going around in circles..."

Li Chao grabbed his remaining hair and suddenly squatted on the ground and burst into tears: "This movie can't be filmed! I want to go back to my hometown and grow sweet potatoes!"

Lin Bufan quickly stepped forward and pulled Li Chao to his feet, stuffing a tissue into his arms. "Brother Chao, it's no big deal. If Meijia can't remember the lines, just read them. We can find a voice actor later, right?"

Li Chao blew his nose and looked up: "But, but..."

"But what is it?" Lin Bufan put his arm around Li Chao's shoulders and lowered his voice, "How many popular stars do this now? Do the audience care? In the end, whether the show is a hit or not depends entirely on marketing!"

As he was speaking, Lü Ziqiao, suspended on a wire, suddenly plummeted from mid-air, smashing the prop table to pieces. The martial arts instructor covered his face and lamented, "Mr. Lü, this is the third table I've broken today..."

Lu Ziqiao rubbed his butt and said defensively, "This backflip followed by a side kick is too difficult! I couldn't even pass physical education in college..."

Li Chao's tears, which had just dried, welled up again: "Look! Is this fight scene even good enough?"

Lin Bufan snapped his fingers: "Get a stunt double! Find a martial arts stunt double who can flip even more slickly than Sun Wukong!"

"But, but..." Li Chao stammered, "But why bother doing this? He's not a big-name actor, so why would he need a stand-in and a dubbing? Is that really necessary?"

Lin Bufan stood with his hands behind his back, gazing deeply into the distance: "Brother Chao, have you ever thought about whether it's really that important?"

Lin Bufan gently stroked the clapperboard in his hand, his voice tinged with Zen. "Our obsession with so-called professionalism and perfection is nothing but trapping us in worldly ruts! So what if Meijia can't remember her lines? Using numbers to replace dialogue is like Bodhidharma's wordless sutra as he faced the wall. So what if Ziqiao smashed a prop? Isn't that shattering sound a questioning of established rules?"

The corners of Li Chao's mouth twitched wildly!

"True art lies in breaking free from shackles." Lin Bufan said, gesturing in the air: "A stand-in is a clone, and dubbing is a transmission of sound. They are all manifestations of the principle that Tao gives birth to one, and one gives birth to two. Brother Chao, you're obsessed."

Li Chao couldn't stand it any longer and suddenly raised his leg from behind to kick Lin Bufan in the butt. But Lin Bufan seemed to have eyes on the back of his head and dodged it with a flick of his leg. Li Chao's kick missed, and his balance was unstable. With a "sizzle" sound, his tight jeans ripped in the crotch.

"Oh my god!" Li Chao jumped on the spot with his legs clamped together, like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

Lin Bufan turned around and saw this, and immediately rushed over to support him exaggeratedly: "Brother Chao! Are you okay? Do you want to call an ambulance?" As he said this, he pretended to pull down Li Chao's pants to check his injuries.

"Get lost!" Li Chao pushed Lin Bufan away, his face flushed red. "Can you please talk like a human being? Can you stop pretending?"

Lin Bufan shrugged and grinned: "I just want to say - money can't buy my willingness."

Uh--

Li Chao felt even worse than before!

This plain and unpretentious pretense makes people feel even more uncomfortable!

Li Chao didn't say anything, but stood up silently and walked towards the lounge. Lin Bufan hurried forward to support him, but was pushed away by Li Chao: "Leave me alone, I want to be alone!"

Lin Bufan showed an embarrassment, and after struggling for a long time, he sighed: "Okay, just this once... After all, Nana has married you, so you can't always think about Jingjing."

Li Chao stumbled upon hearing this and nearly fell again. He turned around and glared at Lin Bufan: "You...!"

"I understand, I understand," Lin Bufan nodded with understanding. "First love is always unforgettable. But Brother Chao, Jingjing's child is old enough to help with cooking now, right?"

"Lin Bufan!" Li Chao was so angry that he was shaking all over. "I just wanted to be alone for a while!"

"Oh~" Lin Bufan said as if he suddenly understood something: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I thought you were reminiscing about the class beauty in high school again."

Li Chao took a deep breath, turned around and walked away, muttering as he walked: "What sins did I commit in my previous life..."

Lin Bufan called out from behind, "Brother Chao, do you want me to help you contact Jingjing? I happen to have her contact information!"

"roll!!!"
