Chapter 24: The Account Was Retrieved in the Morning, the Person Was Caught in the Afternoon

Zhou Yi had already prepared himself for a long wait when he first saw this incident.

After all, this was no joke; it was a real-deal trip inside for "re-education." Even if the person was caught quickly, it still had to go through various procedures before it could finally reach the Court for a Judgment.

Therefore, after the first Video Part Two was released, although Zhou Yi knew he had been described by the audience on the little broken site as a "production team donkey" and a "pigeon that should be tossed into a soup pot," Mr. Zhou indicated that his current mood was stable.

The reason was simple: this video had to produce a result, and a Judgment was the most direct and face-slapping result possible. Thus, before there was a Judgment, it was impossible for him to release the video.

That was why he had previously planned to use the case involving the trading platform to tide things over for a while, but he hadn't expected things to go so fast this time; it hadn't taken long from the arrest to the Review and Prosecution to preparing for the trial.

Of course, Zhou Yi hadn't expected it, because although this case sounded very serious, the facts of the case were actually too simple...

The evidence and everything else were all in order; it didn't even take much effort to organize it into a complete Evidence Chain.

The key was that there were precedents for this kind of thing. Although our country does not apply case law, one can at least use them for reference.

During this time, that guy called "Idle Cloud Wild Crane" had been very jumpy. Because Zhou Yi hadn't released any follow-ups, the other party had been speaking recklessly.

Because of this, he had even gained some followers, all of whom claimed to be people who had "mingled in society for many years and were well-informed."

Every time they opened their mouths, they were trying to instill their own set of so-called "principles" into you.

There were also other forums and similar places where many people were discussing his "bold operations," though, of course, it hadn't gone viral.

After scrolling through the comment section twice and seeing that the guy had started clamoring, "I welcome the Up Master to come and confront me," Zhou Yi really felt he couldn't wait any longer.

This kind of demand had an uncanny resemblance to the demands of that Lawyer Fang from years ago!

Although the trial hadn't started yet and the video hadn't been made, that didn't stop Mr. Zhou from announcing the progress, did it?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi did not hesitate; he edited a short message and clicked send.

"I've been too busy lately and forgot to tell everyone. Less than a day after I reported it to the police, the account-retriever was caught. I was just notified that the trial will be held the day after tomorrow. Once it's over, I will post the entire process."

"Oh right, there's also the trading platform; I've already filed a Lawsuit against them, and the results will all be posted too!"

The entire message didn't mention anything else; it was just simply stating the progress, but that one sentence alone directly caused those who were following the matter to explode.

In Guang City, Yuan Jie was now almost going crazy.

For someone with her obsessive-compulsive tendencies, as long as she saw "Part One" of a certain video, even if it took a whole day and exhausted all internet searches, she had to find the "Part Two" to complete it.

And as for those Up Masters who only posted half a video, what difference was there between such behavior and those authors on a certain site who cut off their chapters, or viewers on a certain site who didn't leave a seed when posting a film!

The key was that the guy had posted the first half of the story, stirred up everyone's emotions, and now everyone just wanted to know what would happen to that account-retriever!

It wasn't just because their emotions had been drawn in, but also because in the comment sections and other forums and message boards, those people were really mocking them in every way.

Originally, when someone reposted this video, there were people who were worried, but now, those people were really mocking them in every way; sometimes you didn't even know if they were truly stupid or just pretending to be...

So much so that now, both in her live stream and under her videos, people had started attacking her, saying she had taken money to help out back then.

Really, it was just that she didn't know who those people on the internet were; otherwise, Yuan Jie really wanted to have a real-life PK with them. Those words were just too infuriating.

Moreover, she had sent that Up Master several private messages, but... she hadn't received a single response.

At the time, Yuan Jie was truly shocked: was I not big enough, or were you not man enough...

Unfortunately, no matter how crazy she went, there was nothing she could do. She only knew that the guy was A Yi; as for anything else, she knew nothing.

And today, Yuan Jie habitually clicked on Zhou Yi's account again and habitually looked down, already prepared for there to be no movement.

As it turned out, this look was significant—the guy had actually updated!

Although it wasn't a video, just a status update, at least there was finally a result!

After glancing at the content of the status, Yuan Jie immediately had a thought: if there was a chance in the future, she must invite this Up Master to Guang City and let him experience her "enthusiasm"!

If she remembered correctly, the previous video contained the part about reporting to the police, and it turned out the person was caught the very next day, yet you didn't say a word about it?

Although it was his freedom to say or not say, but, but it was really infuriating!

Looking down at the comments, all sorts of people were now truly turning the tables and singing a new tune.

"Namo Gatling Bodhisattva": @Idle Cloud Wild Crane, where are you? Hurry up and come out. Didn't you say you wanted the Up Master to come out and confront you?

"I Have the Ambition of Mengde": The account was retrieved in the morning, the police were called at noon, and the person was caught in the afternoon.

"Night Ten Times": Holy crap, he actually got caught? I thought the Up Master was just joking...

Seeing this, Yuan Jie laughed. There were quite a few such comments in the section; many people had thought the Up Master was just using a meme, after all... it seemed like there shouldn't be a connection between retrieving an account and going to jail.

Just like many people who hold forth on the internet, chatting up young ladies in a lively manner; just looking at those chats, you would even feel that this must be a veteran player!

But in reality, once they meet in person, they are too cowardly to even speak...

Of course, the main reason was that many Up Masters nowadays were also starting to act fake like celebrities, creating all sorts of personas and using clickbait.

They were always talking about the Shock-style Article of the UC editors, but Yuan Jie now felt that the Up Masters on the little broken site played titles at a first-class level. Originally, it might just be a scratch on the hand, but looking at that title, you'd feel like they were about to have an amputation.

This led to many people not believing it, but seeing this, no one would doubt it anymore.

Because the trial was coming up soon, and after the trial, there would be a Judgment. This thing couldn't be faked, and it was public; anyone could look it up!

So a group of people started tagging Idle Cloud Wild Crane, wanting to see how this brother, who had been speaking with moral superiority, felt now.

However, no matter how much they tagged him, the person acted as if he hadn't seen it.

It left people with no choice; this was also a "merit" of the internet: when I stick my head in the sand and play the ostrich, I win!

And a bunch of onlookers, seeing that they couldn't tag Idle Cloud Wild Crane, hurriedly started fighting on major forums and message boards.

This breath of frustration had finally been let out!

Especially those who had bought accounts that were then retrieved; this wasn't limited to just the game Original Demon. Although they couldn't punish those retrievers, seeing other retrievers go inside, that feeling was really satisfying...

Not to mention that the Up Master had actually filed a Lawsuit against the trading platform!

This was equivalent to stepping directly on everyone's prostate!

For so many years, all kinds of trading platforms had scammed so many people, but very few had ever filed a Lawsuit.

Every time they saw such things, seeing those people who liked to get to the bottom of things, everyone would be very happy.

That's exactly what should be done!

Thanks to the big brothers "Thank You Granddaddy Temperament Like Me," "Elder DK," "Book Friend 2017," "Mo Ge," and "Lan Cheng Nan" for their tips.

Today's first update is a bit late; should Jiu Jian do a split for everyone? Anyway, there's another chapter coming later, so don't worry about the update speed. Although Jiu Jian is a bit slow-handed, it shouldn't be a problem. Speeding up to ten thousand words a day is a piece of cake. This book's performance is currently okay, which is inseparable from everyone's support. Abandoning the book or anything like that doesn't exist; Jiu Jian will just work hard to update!
