Chapter 379: Who is your big brother? Do I even know you?

~17 min read 3,349 words

"Is the person opposite really a court bailiff? Holy crap, did that man really sue the young lady? This is a bit ridiculous, isn't it!"

"Yeah, what kind of person could do such a disgusting thing? Not only did he hit someone's dog to death, but he also wants them to pay for his car repairs? What kind of ** Court is this, to even allow a Case Filing for this!"

"I'm really about to die of anger. So, has anyone found the other party's information yet? Which bastard is this, anyway!"

All sorts of comments had already appeared in the live stream.

After all, as mentioned before, many people online let their sense of values follow their sense of aesthetics; seeing a pretty girl, they just assume she must be a fairy.

Of course, seeing a handsome man, they just assume he must be very righteous...

After all, when you consider that even a certain woman surnamed Lao has people online empathizing with her, you know that many people are, truly, not necessarily human.

At the very least, in the eyes of many Netizens right now, Xiang Yuyu is just a pretty young lady who loves dogs and speaks very gently.

What? The official report says the other party was playing mahjong at the time and wasn't watching the dog?

We don't believe it; in any case, Miss Xiang Yuyu is a good girl.

Now that they see a good girl being extorted, and the other party actually dares to file a Lawsuit, all sorts of ideas have popped up.

Some who claim to understand the law came forward and said, "Miss, the other party might be suspected of Extortion; you can go report this to the police."

The viewers were left stunned.

Everyone in the live stream was confused, to say nothing of Xiang Yuyu.

"Wait, hold on, what does this mean? On what grounds? On what grounds is he suing me? You explain this clearly to me!" Xiang Yuyu said, looking at the young court bailiff in front of her.

The young bailiff was taken aback. To be fair, he had worked at the Court for many years, and the Summons he had delivered, if stacked together, could circle Handong Province, yet he had never seen a party like this.

Haven't I already told you?

Although he was a bit speechless now, the young bailiff still said, "Miss Xiang, I believe the materials inside explain clearly on what grounds the other party is suing you; you can take a look for yourself."

"I am responsible for delivering the Summons, and I have no obligation to explain it!"

"Not explaining, huh? Then I won't sign!" Xiang Yuyu said directly.

The young man smiled upon hearing this: "Even if you don't sign, I have a record here, and it will still be considered served."

A Court Summons doesn't lose its effect just because you refuse to sign; the young man finished speaking and turned to leave, as the materials had already been handed over to her anyway.

You can dispose of them however you like; you can throw them away or tear them up, that is your freedom, and it is even your freedom not to respond to the Lawsuit.

It's a Civil Dispute, after all; it's always like this, and your degree of freedom is truly very high, but all your actions will affect the final judgment.

So, if you have truly prepared yourself to lose the lawsuit, then... actually, being sued really is nothing.

Xiang Yuyu called out a few times without a response; she had a mind to throw them away, but she still gritted her teeth and brought the materials home.

After all, she was only a little silly, not truly stupid.

But she felt uncomfortable in her heart, so she thought about calling Lawyer Zhang Wei to ask about the situation.

As it turned out, the call didn't go through, and this back-and-forth wasted quite a bit of time, so she could only return and continue the live stream.

As soon as she sat down, she discovered that the situation in the live stream was a bit off; the popularity was at least a level higher than before she had stood up.

What's going on? Is she about to go viral?

Looking closely at those bullet comments, it seemed everyone was talking about a name called A Yi.

So, had everyone already looked up that man's personal information online?

Xiang Yuyu was naturally not stupid to the point of absurdity, openly telling everyone to engage in Internet Violence, to insult, and to conduct a Human Flesh Search on the other party.

After all, the last person who incited their fans to curse others was already finished; once such a thing is discovered, you are basically done for.

She used the standard routine of a Small Essay: playing the victim, then molding herself into the image of someone seeking Legal Aid.

Following that was a pile of comments like "Support Legal Aid, the internet is not a place outside the law."

So, she was still very happy to know that the other party had been doxxed, as the information she knew was only what she had learned from the traffic police.

For example, the other party's name, contact information, home address, and so on.

Only, looking at these bullet comments, she discovered the situation seemed a bit different from what she had imagined.

"Holy crap! Big news, brothers, that guy who had the dispute with Xiang Yuyu is A Yi!"

"Really? Holy crap, it can't be that coincidental, right? How come it feels like he's involved in everything? Where did this news come from? It's not fake, is it?"

"Absolutely true, everything matches up. It was mainly identified through A Yi's car; do you guys remember, he posted his car in his previous videos."

Although that may be, black Four Circles are everywhere; without a license plate number, it's impossible to lock onto the car owner.

So there must be some other shady tricks involved here.

However, upon knowing the other party was A Yi, many people online suddenly had a feeling that, if this matter was done by A Yi, then it seemed normal.

Because only A Yi would be this pedantic.

But, if the other party was A Yi, then this matter didn't seem as simple as imagined...

Xiang Yuyu was a bit strange, but she still asked aloud: "You guys say the other party is A Yi, and say that if it's him, it's not that simple. What does this mean? Is that person very famous?"

She was indeed from Jingzhou, but she truly hadn't heard of A Yi; after all, to tell the truth, a certain internet celebrity you think the whole world knows might not have even been heard of by your friends around you.

Because the circles are different; even if you think the person has gone mainstream, if you haven't heard of them, you haven't heard of them.

Only, after saying it, she felt the name sounded a bit familiar; she had heard someone mention this name somewhere before.

As soon as the words left her mouth, the bullet comments in the live stream that were previously discussing all sorts of things stopped for a split second.

Then they began to surge again at an incredible speed.

"The young lady actually doesn't know A Yi?"

"Should I know him? I have indeed heard the name, but I don't know what he does," Xiang Yuyu said.

Soon, those meddlesome Netizens began various explanations, saying how A Yi was this and that, but there were too many bullet comments in the live stream, so Xiang Yuyu decided to ask the Self-Media contact she had been in touch with about the situation.

Because of the surge in popularity of this incident, major Self-Media outlets and big influencers had contacted her, offering to help repost and speak up to ride the wave of popularity.

Naturally, some Self-Media had contacted her, and some had even donated money to her.

This time, she reached out to this big influencer named "Lawyer Xing," who was also known for daring to speak his mind; when chatting with her before, he had even told her that she could come to him if she had any issues.

He even said that there is hardly anything on the internet nowadays that he dares not touch.

Most importantly, the other party is from Lincheng; everyone is in Handong, and they are quite close.

Opening WeChat, a message was sent over.

"Brother Xing, I just saw many people on the internet saying that the man I had a dispute with is also an internet celebrity. Did you know that?"

"I received a Summons from the Court today, saying the other party has sued me. What do you think I should do?"

Meanwhile, in Lincheng, Handong Province, Xing Yousen was eating with friends; he hadn't checked the news yet today, so he wasn't aware.

After receiving the message, he didn't reply immediately, but said to the friends around him: "Look, that beauty from Jingzhou is asking me again. I tell you, within a month, I guarantee I'll take her down!"

The friend beside him looked on with envy and said: "Brother Xing is still awesome; this life is truly carefree."

Xing Yousen laughed heartily. Are there purely good people on the internet? Of course there are, but are there many? The answer is, truly not many!

Precisely because there are few, every time a good person appears, they are heavily promoted and become a role model.

Xing Yousen is certainly not a good person. These days, many collapsed traffic stars and internet celebrities, and even some professional players in esports or similar fields, are all because they get entangled with female fans—either playing the field with two, three, or four people, or just messing around...

After the friend finished being envious, he asked: "But the other party is also an internet celebrity. Brother Xing, what do you plan to do?"

"What to do? Just go head-to-head. It's just an internet celebrity, what's there to fear? If I were afraid, my persona would collapse."

After saying this, he replied: "He actually sued you? But an internet celebrity? That's even easier to handle. No need to worry at all. Let me tell you, what internet celebrities fear most is the emergence of a narrative."

"If his identity is exposed now, then basically this internet celebrity is definitely finished."

"I'll help you say a few words later to stir up the heat on this matter even more. By then, we won't even need to do anything; he'll be banned directly."

"Hey, after talking for so long, what is that internet celebrity's name?"

Xiang Yuyu on the other end quickly sent a message:

"The internet says the other party is called A Yi. Brother Xing, have you heard of him? Is he very famous? I heard he is very serious about things."

It was just a bit strange; after this message was sent, Brother Xing on the other end didn't reply for a long time.

After waiting for a while and losing patience, Xiang Yuyu sent another message.

"Brother Xing, are you still there?"

This time a message came back: "What Brother Xing? Who are you? Do I know you? I don't even have the surname Xing, okay? Don't talk nonsense!"

"We don't know each other at all. When did you add me? I've blocked you."

Xiang Yuyu: "???"

She hurriedly sent another message, and then saw the notification.

"Message sent, but rejected by the recipient."

What is this situation? She had actually been blocked?

Is that A Yi so terrifying? Before, he was talking about how fierce he was, so why did he block her just after hearing a name!

Of course, Xiang Yuyu didn't know that right now in Lincheng, Xing Yousen's face was filled with lingering fear.

The friend beside him asked: "Brother Xing, I checked, it really is that A Yi, no mistake!"

Xing Yousen said with lingering fear: "Stop eating, this meal can't be finished. How could this be? It actually turned out to be him!"

This time he really had the worst luck in eight lifetimes; how did he run into someone like A Yi?

If it were someone else, he might already be mocking them in various ways, but that is A Yi!

Other netizens might think the other party wouldn't be serious, but those of them in Self-Media and internet celebrity circles have all seen how serious he gets.

Those few large-scale Lawsuits are still fresh in their memories; others might not remember, but they who specialize in this certainly do.

To get him to stand up and fight back, the benefits would have to be significant enough.

Just like those Companies, don't they know A Yi is a stickler for details? Of course they know.

But they can't help but agree, because the profit is right there. If you don't argue it out, how can it be whatever you say?

Hurry and delete everything that should be deleted. A Yi shouldn't be that ruthless, right? She didn't really say anything...

Meanwhile, Xiang Yuyu hurriedly went to ask other Self-Media and big influencers; she wanted to figure out what exactly was going on.

Five minutes passed, and the look in Xiang Yuyu's eyes as she stared at her phone was dazed.

Those Self-Media and big influencers who had previously encouraged her to be serious to the end seemed to have suddenly turned into different people.

Either they blocked her immediately after she sent a message, or they had the same reaction as that Lawyer Xing from before, telling her directly that they didn't know her.

She didn't understand, how could people change their faces so quickly?

The world is bustling for profit; what were they helping her for? For her well-written Small Essay?

That was certainly not it. You only need to look at the results of those big influencers who jumped in under the banner of providing Legal Aid to the authors of Small Essays to know what they were after.

Traffic is money. Making money—look at when they ever felt ashamed.

But, who exactly is that A Yi? How could so many Self-Media and big influencers on the internet be scared like this after hearing his name?

In her memory, these people on the internet had a sense of fearing nothing; spreading rumors, talking nonsense, and slandering were everywhere.

Why now, before the other party had even done anything, were they already silent?

In a moment of agitation, Xiang Yuyu directly posted screenshots of her communication with various Self-Media and big influencers, and attached her own words.

"Is this what those so-called 'dare-to-speak' people are like? You block me just because you know the other party is A Yi? It's simply ridiculous. You fear him, but I don't! I walk upright and act honestly!"

"If he wants to use some connections to deal with me, let him! I'm not afraid at all!"

"So what if he's a big internet celebrity? Can a big internet celebrity do whatever he wants?"

"I'm telling you, I've already hired a top Lawyer. He has talked with me, and our chances of winning are very high!"

Clearly, Xiang Yuyu's perception was somewhat flawed; she thought so many people feared A Yi because A Yi was very famous.

As a result, not long after this message was posted, the comments increased instantly.

"Xiao Shufu": The young lady is too tough. I support you in being serious to the end. We are currently lacking people who present facts and reason!

"Purple Star Shining Moon": No words needed, I support being serious. I am looking forward to it, really looking forward to it.

Yuan Jie: Sister supports you!

Yes, the names are all very familiar; after the news about A Yi spread, all of his audience lords were stunned.

We have been waiting so hard for your video updates over here, and it turns out the one who caused such big news on the internet is actually you?

And you didn't even say a word; especially some audience members, they had previously joined in the scolding...

Tell me, how can everyone be calm now? They are just afraid that one day while sleeping, police uncles will suddenly show up at the door with Silver Bracelets.

It's just that A Yi didn't say anything, so everyone came in a group to sightsee, and then discovered such an exciting matter.

To be reasonable, ever since A Yi started conducting large-scale Criminal Private Prosecution, there haven't been many people who dare to target him with Small Essay on the internet.

However, now, Xiang Yuyu not only wrote a Small Essay but also made such harsh threats; a top Lawyer, this is going through legal channels!

How could it not make everyone look forward to it?

Of course, everyone wants to know even more if this idea of yours to write a Small Essay on the internet was given by that top Lawyer of yours.

Is this out of fear that you won't be able to get in, or what?

Xiang Yuyu naturally didn't know these things; she looked at the comment section and felt that there were quite a few people supporting her now!

After all, besides A Yi's audience lords, there were also those dog lovers, and they don't care about these things.

Yes, you A Yi are very tough, but many of them have intercepted dog transport trucks and obstructed dog meat festivals; their combat effectiveness is very strong.

How could they be scared off by you just like that?

All along, these dog lovers have never received any punishment for their Legal Aid; even if they intercepted trucks and called the police, no one was ever seen being arrested.

So they aren't afraid at all!

The remaining comments were just some insults; those few internet celebrity Self-Media were all sprayed like sieves.

After the excitement, Xiang Yuyu thought again about whether she should search for this A Yi to see what exactly he does.

Filled with curiosity, she opened Baidu, typed in the two characters A Yi, and clicked search.

Very quickly, a huge pile of results popped out.

The very top one was: Because of being scolded on the internet, he filed a Lawsuit against thousands of people at once, among whom hundreds were Criminal Private Prosecution; this is the internet celebrity A Yi!

What the hell? Filing a Lawsuit against thousands of people at once?

Xiang Yuyu froze there; she suddenly felt that she seemed to have done an incredible thing.

At the same time, in Modu, Zhang Qi looked at the assistant in front of her and said: "You want me to delete the Weibo post too? Are you kidding? Does he dare to sue me?"

"Do you know how much of an impact it would have on my popularity if I deleted it? People who don't know would think I'm afraid of him, an internet celebrity!"

Don't look at how stars nowadays seem to have all sorts of mishaps when selling goods and aren't as good as those specialized internet celebrities, but the chasm between stars and internet celebrities is distinct!

Many internet celebrities, such as a certain singing Anchor in the gaming section, have racked their brains to squeeze into the entertainment industry, but they still can't get in.

Therefore, stars naturally have a sense of superiority over internet celebrities; no matter how fiercely A Yi stirs things up, in the eyes of stars, it's just like that.

The assistant hesitated for a moment before saying: "But if this matter has a reversal, then public opinion will also be unfavorable to you."

Zhang Qi began to fall silent.

A five-thousand-character long chapter; I'm too sleepy today, so I'll go to sleep first.

Thanks to Brother desirekyo, Wenchidage, Book Friend 1610, Feimaowuyu, Kuang Jian Zhi Wu, thanks to the brothers for the rewards, thank you.
