My Amazing Boyfriend

Chapter 23: This Kind of Melodramatic Scene of “I’m Pregnant” is Bound to Happen Once in Everyone’s Life

The view count on the video continued to rise at a rapid pace.
Netizens love to hunt for extraordinary events, such as UFOs, or the disappearance of a female star, someone keeping a mistress.
These things always had a high attraction valve.

However, this post about a monster sighting had become super viral.
It had passed the view count of the latter events by a large margin.

The company of the website that posted this video has been very busy these two days.
There are advertisers who want to place advertisements on this hot topic, journalists who are curious about the truth and frequently called to interview staff, and some even came knocking on their doors, such as Detective Zhang. 

“Manager Fang, my surname is Zhang, I run a small detective agency.
I’m here today to discuss business with you.”

Manager Fang looked at the business card and asked, “Which advertiser are you…”

“My client wants to buy your 36-second video in HD.” Detective Zhang interrupted.

Manager Fang was stunned and suddenly sneered in disdain, “Competitors now are really crazy to come up with such a method… I say Detective Zhang, how much is your client willing to pay?”puretl dot com is the original translator, please do not repost

Detective Zhang gave a subtle smile and said a number.

Manager Fang's expression cracked a little.
Was this person so rich that they had no other things to buy? However…the 36-second video did not belong to them.

“We will consider it.” Manager Fang pretended to be a high-ranking monk, “You should know that I need to consult others prior to making a decision.”

“Contact me immediately once you guys have decided.” Detective Zhang handed him his business card and left.

Manager Fang immediately called his subordinate Xiao Cai.
They needed to negotiate with the video poster by the name of ‘Head of the Bodyguards’.

“You tell the other party that the view count will definitely exceed 50 million in two days.
We purchased the copyright of this video for 500,000 dollars, and you need to send us the HD version of the video.”

Xiao Cai typed according to Manager Fang's instructions.

After a while, the ‘Head of the Bodyguards’ replied: When are you going to put the clear version online?

–It will be at our discretion.

–If so then I’ll just sell it to someone else.

Manager Fang originally thought that getting this video would be a walk in the park.
The other party wanted nothing more than money, but now that they had refused, Manger Fang felt his head about to explode.

Xiao Cai had a suggestion: “Since this person just wants money and Detective Zhang also said that the price is negotiated, let’s tell him truthfully that it will not be released to the public.” Manager Fang nodded in agreement, and Xiao Cai typed in the dialog box: Actually it will not be released, someone wants to buy the clear version of the video.
We can negotiate the price.

The ‘Head of the Bodyguards’ seemed to be thinking and after ten minutes, he replied: In that case, let me talk to the buyer directly.

“Bandit, what a big appetite you have!” Manager Fang looked at the computer screen and couldn't help cursing.
He originally wanted to get the HD video at a low price, and then sell it to Detective Zhang for a high profit.
This ‘Head of the Bodyguards’ seemed to be afraid that he would suffer a loss, so he made such a request.
Manager Fang frowned, it seemed that he needed to find another way.

Detective Zhang returned to his detective office and waited all afternoon with a single response from Manager Fang.
His superior called again to inquire, so he could only answer truthfully: “Boss, I'm still trying my best to negotiate with the website about the video.
I’m trying to stop them from spreading it anymore.
However, are you sure it is him just from this blurry video?”

The boss's stern voice came from the other end of the phone: “Hmph…
we are old friends, tied by fate, how could I not recognize him! No matter the cost, the video must not be exposed, we can not let others find out about his existence.”

Detective Zhang nodded to the phone: “I understand.
Boss, are there any other orders?”

“Professor Li requested to meet me.
Arrange a time for me.”
