Chapter 497: Searching for the Missing Yunyun

These kinds of remarks are actually quite common, because there really are men who go in with that exact purpose.

However, shifting the goalposts is also common; someone wants to date, and you end up talking about sleeping together.

But it must be said, this topic really got many people excited again, and it was quickly forwarded to Zhalang, sparking a lot of heated discussion.

Some Lawyers stepped forward to ride the trend, saying this was a voluntary act and not a conditional Gift, so it could not be revoked.

Likewise, there are also people who feel this man doesn't count as a man at all; how could one take back a gift given to a girl?

Just because she wouldn't date you?

But this topic only sparked heated discussion; the heat didn't reach that high of a level—she is just an Anchor, and not even the famous kind.

In Lincheng, Gu Zhanfei stared anxiously at the screen; like Lao Liang, he is one of those extremely obsessed viewers, and also a "friend" who added Xue Yun as a contact.

He is currently in an obsession phase, having to watch the stream every day.

As it turned out, today, Xue Yun streamed for a while, then mentioned that matter and left, even saying she would be back soon.

But this time has been quite long, and there hasn't been any movement!

Calls go unanswered and messages aren't returned; Gu Zhanfei is anxious.

If it were any other time, he certainly wouldn't be anxious, but the key is that his Yunyun might have gone to meet that man!

Instantly, news about "Anchors meeting offline and becoming victims" appeared in his mind, and Gu Zhanfei hurriedly told others in the stream.

Naturally, there are still many kind-hearted people online; sometimes when people commit suicide, Netizens will help call the police, so now that an Anchor is missing, everyone naturally starts to care!

Gu Zhanfei posted the news online, and soon, Zhalang and the Big Green Book both had the same topic.

"The Anchor Yunyun who went to meet that man is missing!"

This topic began to climb the hot searches like an explosion; there was no helping it, the Photo was seen by many people, and such a beautiful girl going missing naturally sparked everyone's concern.

"It wouldn't be another tragedy, would it? I really give up on these men; they want to sleep with her after giving gifts, and if she doesn't give them back, they want to kill her, right?"

"Hurry and call the police; does anyone know where she lives? People in the same city, help call the police and search quickly, hope it's not too late... Praying!"

The "Searching for missing Anchor Yunyun" news hit the hot searches, and even some big Vs started helping to forward it, commenting along the way, asking if anyone knows who the man asking for the gifts is.

The guild and platform where Xue Yun is located have all released news saying they have already called the police!

And under the heated discussion of the masses, the intensity of the Human Flesh Search is unprecedented!

Soon, the name Liang Jiannan, as well as his contact information, home address, the Company he works for, and a series of other information were posted by people.

Then everyone discovered that this Liang Jiannan is actually a Vice President at Tenda!

Tenda, isn't that A Yi's Company? His Company actually has such scum?

That's unacceptable; you, A Yi, are always being serious online, touching this and poking that, and now, your Company's Vice President has done such a thing, are you not going to manage it?

For a time, many people started tagging A Yi online.

"Get out here and take a beating; still being serious, pfft, using such a person as a Vice President, you aren't anything good either!"

"What's up, A Yi, not going to manage it? Pretending to be blind? And you have the nerve to be serious?"

It's always like this online, believing whatever they hear, rumors flying everywhere; some Self-Media make their headlines extremely sensational, and what was originally a suspected disappearance, as it spreads, becomes "suspected murder"...

At Tenda, Lao Liang looked at his phone with a look of despair; today he has already received countless abusive calls and texts, and the first sentence many people say when they call is: Aren't you afraid of going to hell for killing that young girl?

Some people might find it strange, but there really are all kinds of people online.

The previous times might have just been small matters like raising dogs or something, but this time it involves a human life!

Because the other party is indeed missing.

A phone number of a villain in a certain TV series was seen by viewers, but in fact, that phone number was just written randomly by the screenwriter.

Yet, unexpectedly, someone really used that number, and as a result, that poor guy was constantly being called by all sorts of people to be cursed at...

One can only say there are too many bored people in reality.

The heat rose too quickly, and Zhou Mouren was even more confused, calling Huo Pengfei and Lao Liang into the office.

"What's going on? I told you to call the police, you didn't kidnap someone, did you?"

Lao Liang said speechlessly: "President Zhou, I'm not sick in the head; this is clearly an impossible thing now, why would I kidnap someone? It was just reporting to the police, and a Case Filing has already been made..."

Huo Pengfei waved his hand and said: "Alright President Zhou, I already understand; it should be that the person was arrested, it's just that I didn't expect it to spread like this."

When the Public Security Bureau issues a Criminal Summons to a suspect, they will certainly notify the family; this goes without saying, it is something that must be done.

But as for online reporting and notifying people other than the family, that is not their job.

Whether you are an Anchor or a celebrity, it's all the same; there is no difference at the Public Security Bureau, and once you go in, everyone only has one title.

"So my suggestion is, we don't need to make a statement; under such public opinion, the local Public Security Bureau will certainly issue a police report."

Zhou Yi gasped upon hearing this, looked at Manager Chu with the big conscience next to him and said: "How big is the heat on this matter now?"

Manager Chu smiled upon hearing this: "Open any major platform, almost everyone is paying attention to this matter."

Fine, then there's no need to say anything; this is the vast number of Netizens insisting on making that Ms. Xue suffer a Social Death.

"However, it is the Public Security Bureau's business to debunk rumors; since Lao Liang has received such treatment, we must certainly respond."

After a pause, Zhou Yi said again: "I am very curious, having already sent so many people inside, why do people still want to do such things? Are they really not afraid?"

"Lao Huo, your Legal Department should put in a little effort; those who leaked Lao Liang's information, and those who are hurling abuse, don't let a single one go; this time there is no need for a Warning!"

The previous few times, the Company stepped in to issue a Warning, so many people were fine after apologizing, and only one Peng Shiwen was dealt with.

Since that's the case, there is no need to send any Lawyer's Letter.

"I only have one requirement, use the Legal Aid Fund, no matter how much it costs, sue everyone who should be sued; no matter what platform, absolutely no one can be left out!"

"If the Legal Department doesn't have enough people, I'll find outside help."

Huo Pengfei nodded; this is a tough battle.

The facts were just as Huo Pengfei said; with public opinion so boiling, the relevant departments naturally noticed.

Once there were orders from above, the grassroots naturally had to run their legs off.

A person went missing, and it was an internet celebrity Anchor, with such great public opinion, it must be investigated until the truth is revealed.

As it turned out, there was already a result before the investigation even began.

"What? This person was already caught by us?" a person in charge at the local Public Security Bureau asked, bewildered.

"Yes, suspected of fraud, the evidence is conclusive, and we are now prepared for criminal detention; the family has already been notified, but it's unclear why things developed this way."

Truly, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

For those above, there was something to report back; for those below, there was no need to go out and waste time and effort looking for someone; everyone had a bright future.

That went without saying; the local Public Security Bureau's account directly released a police report.

It was that kind of blue-background report, very eye-catching.

"... On the evening of September 3rd, someone reported that the Anchor Xue was missing. After investigation, it was learned that Anchor Xue Yun was summoned according to the law on the morning of that day for suspected fraud. The case has been filed, and the specific details are currently under investigation. The police remind the vast number of Netizens not to believe rumors and not to spread them..."

The report was very short, but it was like a basin of ice water splashed onto the boiling internet, instantly making everyone calm down.

Some big influencers who helped repost were directly stunned; so we were waving flags and shouting for so long, and the person wasn't missing, but rather... went inside?

Although in a certain sense, both mean you can't find them outside, the difference was just too great.

And the key was that this report left everyone not knowing what to say.

Should one say "It's good that the person is found" or "It's good that she's fine?" It didn't feel like one could say that; it seemed the person wasn't exactly fine.

Forget it, those who had been jumping around the most joyfully and scolding the hardest started deleting their comments.

More people started commenting that such a pretty girl was a pity; why would she go and commit fraud when she was doing just fine?

Of course, there were still those who questioned it.

"Why was Yunyun caught after meeting that man? There must be some hidden story here; otherwise, Yunyun's family is wealthy themselves, there's no reason for her to commit fraud!"

Of course, this kind of questioning was retorted as soon as it was voiced; some big shots had already posted the previous recording.

They said the phone call the female anchor received earlier definitely wasn't from Liang Jiannan, but from the Police Station, otherwise there was no reason for her to say that.

Case solved: the person is in the Detention House, suffering Social Death across the entire internet.

In front of the computer, Gu Zhanfei was already numb; his goddess actually committed fraud and got caught...

In Tian City, Xue Yun's family was originally worrying there, thinking about finding someone to ask what exactly was going on.

Just as some people on the internet said, Xue Yun's family actually had some money.

Xue Yun's father, Xue Chang, kept making phone calls; his daughter was suddenly caught, and the Public Security Bureau had only notified them, which was a bit baffling for the family.

Xue Yun's mother just kept crying.

As a result, the whole family now knew the situation.

"So, Yunyun was some kind of anchor, and then she was caught for fraud?" Xue Chang said, "But I could buy her anything she wanted; why would she be some anchor?"

Xue Chang himself hadn't figured it out; having money and having money are two different concepts.

People also say that a certain pure sister who married a big shot has a wealthy family, but compared to internet big shots, that kind of wealth is not the same concept.

Xue Yun's father obviously couldn't let her buy luxury goods however she wanted, but those "good brothers" on the internet could...

And it only took saying a few words.

Now the situation was clear, and the female anchor who was caught didn't matter anymore.

The point was that many people on the internet had sprayed A Yi earlier, and Liang Jiannan, as the person involved, was scolded even more viciously.

So the question arose: what would A Yi do?

In Luzhou, Pei Dongchang was doing the same things.

Last time, after guessing the other party's identity based on Zhou Yi's camera, Pei Dongchang thought there would be trouble and even issued an apology at the time.

As it turned out, nothing happened at all.

Or rather, his thoughts represented the thoughts of those trolls on the internet now.

A Yi now had enough traffic and enough popularity, so it was impossible for him to be as serious as before.

Otherwise, look for yourselves: the previous few times, he just sent a Lawyer's Letter, and as long as they apologized, nothing happened.

As for those who didn't apologize and were taken seriously, everyone felt that was also normal.

After all, A Yi had to maintain his persona.

So this time was the same; many people deleted their comments and then issued apology letters—in ancient times, one surrendered and paid half, today, one apologizes and is not pursued.

By the way, they were just waiting for Tengda to send a Lawyer's Letter.

Pei Dongchang prided himself on being a Buddhist, so he looked unfavorably upon someone like Zhou Yi who sought revenge for the slightest grievance.

When will the cycle of vengeance end? Just turn a blind eye and it will pass; why bother?

This time, seeing someone missing, he started making all kinds of guesses and, by the way, initiated a Human Flesh Search, finding Lao Liang's personal information.

Out of his own sense of justice, or wanting people to praise him a few times, he posted Liang Jiannan's personal information on the internet.

And after it was widely reposted, he deleted it.

A Yi's information had been leaked before and nothing happened, so there definitely wouldn't be any trouble this time either.

Everyone on the internet thought so, but in reality, the Tengda Legal Department had already fully mobilized.

Thinking it would be fine just by deleting the information? What a joke.

Tengda always acts before you delete things.

And needless to say, if they really want to be serious with you to the end, then even if you delete the information, it won't work.

Because the platform can see everything; the only difference is whether they are willing to investigate.

This process would be extremely tedious, so tedious that a normal person wouldn't do it.

But Zhou Yi is not a normal person, and this is exactly the effect he wanted.

Many lawyers within the Fang Law Firm were invited again to serve as external aid, and Zhou Xinran was naturally among them.

Because a lot of information was needed, this time they directly sued the platforms first; Zhou Yi's requirement was not to miss a single person, so basically all the platforms on the internet were involved.

For platforms with better cooperation, they greeted the other party directly before filing the Lawsuit.

Just say that I want this information, but it must go through the Lawsuit procedure; you just need to get ready.

If anyone else dared to say this, they would have been banned long ago, but Zhou Yi... well, get ready.

Others are just bluffing, but only this guy is actually capable of doing it.

The short video platform that went head-to-head with Zhou Mouren for a long time last year knows this best.

It took a few days to prepare the initial evidence for the Lawsuit, and then it was delivered to the Court Case Filing hall.

The staff at the Case Filing hall were so terrified their faces went numb when they saw the pile of things the few people carried in.

"Wait, wait, wait, what are you doing? Just wait a moment!"

After stopping them to inquire, they found out that this was the evidence for a Lawsuit.

Staff member: "..."

Huo Pengfei said with a chuckle: "This is just for the initial Lawsuit against the platform; later... after we get that information, there will be more. Everyone, please understand, please understand..."

The staff member's expression was cold, and a passing judge touched their hair—would it be so hard to just be a decent person?

The second update is here! A friendly recommendation for a book.
