Chapter 26: Walking the path of a villain, leaving the villain with no path to walk
Hurriedly returning home, Zhou Yi photographed the Judgment and the Mediation Agreement, organized the previously edited footage, and began the production of his second video.
"Greetings, my esteemed viewers. It has been a while since the last video was released, and I imagine everyone has been waiting anxiously. But there was no help for it; legal procedures must be followed step by step. Fortunately, there is a result now."
"Take a look, everyone. The verdict is in. The person who recovered my account has, unsurprisingly, gone inside to receive some education. It is just a pity that I couldn't film him wailing and weeping."
"Next, I will tell you all about what happened afterward."
Zhou Yi then began to introduce the events that occurred after reporting to the police one by one, including Liu Xu being arrested that very day, as well as the process of Liu Xu's parents and their Lawyer demanding a Letter of Forgiveness.
Lawyer Lao Wang is a good man, so after obtaining the other party's permission, Zhou Yi edited in Lao Wang's voice and provided an explanation.
Of course, the main focus was still the footage of Liu Xu's parents seeking him out.
"Look at this segment, everyone. This happened at the entrance of the Court. I had business at the Court at the time, and then I was blocked at the entrance by the parents of the person who recovered the account. Their faces have been covered by a Mosaic, so just listen to their voices."
"You can see for yourselves, look at how they asked me for a Letter of Forgiveness!"
He hadn't recorded much of this segment at the time, but it was enough.
With the words of Liu Xu's parents in the video paired with Zhou Yi's commentary, the effect was better than average!
"And then there is the gaming platform. I can suggest to everyone here: when you encounter such things, do not compromise. You should file a Lawsuit; they will chicken out faster than you imagine."
"This time, the trading dog chickened out—triple compensation, plus an apology on all major platforms. You see, this is the Mediation Agreement. Sometimes, we really do need to be a bit more persistent!"
In truth, Zhou Yi himself knew that his words sounded a bit high-minded. Filing a Lawsuit is easy to say but hard to do; in reality, unless there is no other choice, who would want to file a Lawsuit?
After reviewing the video from start to finish and finding no issues, Zhou Yi uploaded it directly and waited by his phone for the review.
As soon as the review passed, he began to tag that "Idle Cloud Wild Crane."
"How about it? My evidence is out, so what do you have to say now?"
"Of course, I know you will definitely say these things are fake. That's fine. You can private message me your address, and I will send the items to you, or you can come find me, and I will reimburse your travel and lodging. How about that?"
He had seen too many people like this; he would take the first step to block their path, leaving them with nowhere to go.
After Zhou Yi's video was released, those who had been waiting hungrily, such as Yuan Jie, clicked into the video without a moment's delay.
Getting straight to the point, the Judgment and the Mediation Agreement were used to anchor the video. The moment Yuan Jie saw this scene, she felt instantly satisfied.
Meanwhile, bullet comments kept drifting across the video: "Satisfied."
It was indeed satisfying; many people had been feeling frustrated during this period.
Having an account recovered is disgusting. It isn't a major matter; unless one is a "whale" player, even if it is recovered, the economic loss really isn't that great.
It is mainly just uncomfortable, like a fishbone stuck in one's throat.
Now, finally seeing the account-recoverer sentenced—even if it wasn't for long—was just incredibly satisfying to watch!
Someone commented below: "Finally, a recovery dog has been sentenced. Damn it, my account was perfectly fine when I bought it. They promised no recovery, but then they recovered it in a split second and even provoked me, telling me to go ahead and report it to the police. They should be dealt with like this!"
Continuing to watch, when she saw the scene where the recoverer's parents asked for a Letter of Forgiveness, Yuan Jie was truly stunned.
She also thought of that classic line: it felt like this mother actually wanted her son to spend a few more days in jail!
She hurriedly looked at the comments below; sure enough, quite a few others had thought of this too!
"This wave, this wave... they are on the third floor, you know? On the surface, it looks like they want the Up Master to issue a Letter of Forgiveness, but in reality, they didn't intend for the Up Master to issue it at all; they just wanted their son to receive a few more days of education... I can't make this up anymore."
"There really are all kinds of birds in the forest... I am very curious about what kind of place could produce these two, 'Crouching Dragon' and 'Phoenix Chick.' Don't they know the meaning of the word 'forgiveness'?"
Further on, it was about the trading platform.
To be honest, many people were actually even angrier at the trading platform than at the recoverer!
Why did the theory that "buying an account is just renting an account" emerge? The reason lies in the fact that the third-party trading platform did not do its job well.
Since they collected the money, they should have provided proper protection. Yet, just as Zhou Yi experienced before, after it was recovered, they didn't even help contact the other party; they actually told Zhou Yi to negotiate it himself!
However, upon seeing the other party obediently pay compensation and apologize, Yuan Jie didn't have much else to say.
The contract is right there; even if the Up Master is persistent, it is useless unless everyone files a Lawsuit against the platform together, but that is very hard to achieve.
Still, this Up Master finally saw the whole matter through. To be reasonable, such a persistent person is truly rare these days.
And more importantly, not only did he tag that guy called "Idle Cloud Wild Crane," but he actually blocked all of that guy's paths.
Thus, the onlookers from all walks of life were in high spirits!
"Where is he? Come out quickly! The Up Master has already slapped the evidence in your face!"
"Right, if you think it's fake, then say so. No need for the Up Master to pay; we will all chip in for your travel expenses!"
"You were jumping around the most before, weren't you? Where are you? Come out."
Just at this moment, in a dormitory at an ordinary junior college in Ning City, Zhao He was staring blankly at the computer in front of him.
He was "Idle Cloud Wild Crane." In truth, Zhao He himself had not expected things to develop to this point.
At the very beginning, he had just blurted out some nonsense.
There was no help for it; it was just his habit in daily life to go against everyone else's words to show off his own insight.
After all, it was online, so he certainly couldn't admit he was wrong, and as a result, it developed to this point.
He felt like this Up Master was sick, as were these people chasing him and asking questions.
And... he had indeed planned it long ago: no matter what this Up Master produced, he would claim it was fake.
Anyway, it was all online; you say it's real, I say it's fake—who could prove it!
However, he never imagined that the other party would be so experienced, directly blocking all his paths. He truly didn't know what to say.
If it were someone else, he might have continued to spout nonsense, saying things like, "You want me to go, so I'll go? I make hundreds of thousands a minute; you compensate me and then I'll go."
But facing this Up Master, he really didn't dare to gamble...
The other party was willing to top up one million just because of an account recovery. If he said it and the other party actually sent the money, he would be in a dead end.
Thus, after hesitating for a moment, Zhao He clicked to cancel his account. He couldn't afford to provoke him; how could there be such a persistent person in this world?
While Zhao He was canceling his account on one side, a bunch of onlookers on the "Little Broken Station" soon discovered it.
"Haha, this b... station user canceled his account. I thought he would keep being stubborn!"
"Before, he acted all high and mighty, saying it was impossible the moment he opened his mouth. Now that there is evidence, he doesn't even dare to admit he was wrong."
"On the internet, there are plenty of people like that; getting him to admit his mistake online is harder than ascending to heaven."
Zhou Yi naturally noticed this too, but he had no time to look at it now, because as various Netizens kept reposting his video to forums, Tieba, B-hu, and similar places, the completion progress of the event was also constantly rising, and finally, it reached one hundred percent.
Event Name: Account retrieved, backhand recharge of one million!
Event Requirement: Purchase an account that was maliciously retrieved, and teach the person who retrieved it a lesson by increasing the account's value!
Current Event Completion: 100% (Completed)
"Detected that the host has completed the event, the reward has been issued, please check it, host!"
It was finally completed; Zhou Yi rubbed his hands and looked over, then was instantly stunned.
After a good while, he said: "Holy crap, this system is awesome!"
The extra update is here. Some friends have mentioned that the ending of the previous part was a bit fast. This is indeed true; there are some things that really cannot be written in detail because they are truly not 'legal'... However, the upcoming labor dispute plot will be easier to handle. There are various types of stories to follow. If you have any small matters in life that you feel frustrated about, feel free to share them; perhaps they will be copied... I mean, borrowed by Jiu Jian.
