This young man was the same one who was sightseeing and climbing mountains when Li Yue and Homelander fought. He personally witnessed two superhumans flying in the air and fighting, so he naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity. He immediately took out his phone and filmed the battle.
Although he wasn't very close, he still clearly captured the figures of Homelander and Li Yue.
After Li Yue chased Homelander and flew away, he couldn't help but get more and more excited as he watched the video on his phone. Then he couldn't resist posting the video online and rushed back to the hotel where he was staying!
It took him nearly an hour to get down the mountain and return to his hotel room. When he checked the online comments, he found that everyone was cursing him, saying that his video was fake!
Looking at those comments, he almost threw his phone in anger. He finally managed to calm his anger, but then, nearly an hour later, the video he posted was also deleted. This made him so angry he almost exploded!
Fortunately, things suddenly took a turn for the better afterward.
However, just as he was incredibly happy, he suddenly received two inexplicable text messages.
The first one was a bit baffling, making him think it was a spam message. But the second one was like a bucket of cold water, poured mercilessly over his head, instantly extinguishing his excited mood!
"That's right, I'm abroad right now, and it's not safe at all here! Unlike in China, where posting some explosive videos would at most lead to a meter check. But abroad, I might even lose my life!"
"And this mysterious person has already found out my identity. Vought International is such a big company; it's only a matter of time before they find me. Crushing me is like crushing an ant!"
Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoning felt a chill down his spine. He dared not delay any longer, grabbed his belongings, and left the room immediately. He didn't even bother to go to the front desk to get back his room deposit and unused room fees. He now had only one goal: to return home as quickly as possible!
"Holy crap, isn't this going to kill me?!"
On the way, he used his phone to check flight tickets online, but sadly found that all flights were sold out.
Ding!
Another text message sound. Xu Xiaoning hastily opened it!
"I've already booked the nearest flight ticket for you using your identity information, first class too! You can just go to the airport to pick up the ticket. No need to thank me, I'm just a good person. Oh, and the ticket money was paid from your account!"
"Although I don't know who you are, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, Comrade Good Guy!"
Xu Xiaoning was incredibly touched. This mysterious person was truly a good person! Not only did he remind him to run, but he also helped him plan his escape! He just wished he knew who he was so he could thank him in person someday!
With this mood, Xu Xiaoning quickly rushed to the airport!
... While Xu Xiaoning was rushing to the airport, he didn't know that over a dozen burly men in black trench coats and sunglasses had already arrived at the hotel where he had just stayed. One of them asked the front desk if the room he was staying in had been checked out.
After receiving the answer that it hadn't been checked out, the group quickly rushed to Xu Xiaoning's room. However, after breaking down the door, they found no one in the room!
--------------------
"Sir, Mr. Xu Xiaoning has already picked up his ticket and successfully boarded the plane. The plane is about to take off in three minutes. No unusual situations occurred! However, after he left the hotel, a group of people forcibly entered his room!"
"Alright, let's end this matter here. No need to monitor him anymore!"
After receiving Xiao Dai's reply, Li Yue gave an instruction. Thanks to his reminder, everything was finally safe!
... At this moment, Xu Xiaoning, who was sitting in the first-class cabin of the plane,
He still didn't know that if he had left half an hour later, he might not have been able to see the beautiful landscapes of his homeland!
At this moment, a strong sense of homesickness arose in Xu Xiaoning's heart. Never before had he wanted to return to his homeland, to his peaceful and harmonious hometown, as much as he did today!
...
"Sir, Ms. Starlight is calling. Would you like to answer? She called 58 times while you were resting. This is the 59th time!"
"Answer it!"
Li Yue was currently checking the latest news on the transparent phone Tony had given him (he didn't carry this phone with him but kept it at home). Hearing Xiao Dai's voice, and then "This is Starlight's 59th call," if he didn't answer again, it would be a bit too much... "Thank goodness, Li Yue, you finally answered the phone. Where are you now? Are you hurt?"
As soon as he answered the phone, Starlight's very anxious voice came from the other end. And the first thing she asked was if Li Yue was hurt!
"Uh, I'm fine now, perfectly fine. You don't have to worry!"
Li Yue replied casually, indicating that he was not injured!
"That's good, that's good... Uh, I'm not saying I don't believe you, I just want to know if what they're saying about you online is true? They're all saying you're a bad person, that you joined the Seven with ulterior motives, and that you cruelly killed Homelander."
"But I don't believe you're that kind of person!"
Starlight on the other end clearly breathed a sigh of relief, then couldn't help but cautiously and softly ask about the online rumors!
"Hmm... some of what's being said online is indeed true. For example, I really do have my own reasons for joining the Seven, which I'm not at liberty to discuss in detail with you. And the fact that I fought Homelander and killed him is also true."
"But saying I'm an utterly evil bad person, that's slander. While I wouldn't dare to call myself a complete good person, I can say that I'm not a bad person. Moreover, Homelander isn't actually as kind as he appears to be!"
Li Yue, for some reason, after hearing Starlight say she believed him, didn't think of hiding these things from her. Perhaps it was because Starlight was the first person to say she believed him! Or perhaps it was something about this girl in the show, who always maintained her original intention, that touched him!
"Hmm, I believe you. I believe the truth will come out soon."
"Also, I'll keep your secret. If anything happens, you can call me. Although I don't have powers as strong as yours, I will definitely stand by you and support you."
"Li Yue, goodbye!"
After Starlight finished speaking, she didn't give Li Yue a chance to respond and directly hung up the phone!
"Haha, so this is what it feels like to be believed? Not bad!"
Although Li Yue didn't think the negative news online would have much impact on him, he had even prepared backup plans long ago, believing that things would quickly turn around.
Moreover, he had absolute confidence in his own strength. Even if everyone in this world became his enemy, what could they do?
But being unconditionally believed by someone for the first time still felt pretty good!
... Of course, Li Yue didn't know that Starlight wasn't the only one who believed him.
For example, a mother and daughter who were watching TV.
"Mommy, the uncles and aunties on TV are naughty, they're lying! Big brother is a good person, right?"
"Yes, your big brother is not only a good person, but also the hero who saved us!"
