Chapter 88: Just Ask You All, Do You Believe It Now? (Making Up for a Missed Update)

Huh? Ling Jie was frozen right at the doorway, and everyone else in the room was stunned along with her.

An Anchor like Ling Jie basically always has a team: assistants, operations, stage managers, and so on.

Haven't there been reports about this? In the video, a beautiful Anchor is dancing, graceful and charming; you are moved, so you tip her with real money, and finally, the other party is touched by your sincerity and adds you on WeChat.

Then you chat with the beautiful Anchor every day, fantasizing about the figure behind that WeChat account.

But in reality? The person behind that WeChat is likely a rough guy with leg hair longer than yours.

Ling Jie certainly hadn't reached that level; her looks were passable, but she was able to become popular because she knew how to talk, along with a tiny bit of luck.

But a team is also indispensable.

Therefore, the police comrades who came to the door quickly entered and said: "Nobody move!"

The target was only Ling Jie, and there basically wouldn't be any trouble, but when the police carry out an operation, to prevent accidents, they still let the others not move first.

Only then did Ling Jie react and say: "Huh? It's me? You guys are..."

"Li Xiuling, having received the Criminal Case Filing Notice from the Jingzhou City Guangming District People's Court, the Guangming District Branch is now legally conducting a Criminal Summons against you. The Summons Decision is here."

As he spoke, he pointed to his chest and said: "This is my police badge. Now, come with us."

Ling Jie hurriedly said: "No, comrade, look at me, I am currently... how are you arresting me? How have I committed a crime?"

The lead veteran police officer said: "Whether you committed a crime or not will be tried and judged by the People's Court. Right now, you are only suspected of it, so we need to take you back."

After finishing, he waved his hand and took his people away directly.

Ling Jie really didn't want to go, but as she prepared to resist, she immediately realized that if she just went, there might still be a chance, but if she resisted, she might truly have no chance at all.

She truly didn't understand the law, but when she was doing programs in the past, because she had dressed up as a host, she had interviewed some police officers.

What they told her was that when facing police enforcement, one must absolutely not resist; otherwise, assaulting the police is no laughing matter!

Therefore, she quickly stopped her movements and obediently followed them out.

It was just that Ling Jie's heart had already sunk, and she signaled her team with her eyes to quickly think of a way!

The team in the room was stunned. An Anchor being taken away while livestreaming—this kind of situation seemed to be very rare in the past...

However, Ling Jie was, after all, an Anchor signed to a Company, and she had popularity, so someone quickly started contacting the Company behind her.

Wait, it seemed the Camera was still on... Oh no!

The assistant Wang Weiwei hurriedly went over to check the livestream room, and sure enough, the entire livestream room had already exploded!

"What? Is it this exciting? Being taken away during a livestream? Damn, I like it, is there more?"

"Hurry up, is there a follow-up? I can't wait!"

"Pure newbie, first time online, heard there's a judicial program livestream here?"

An Anchor being taken away during a livestream is truly too rare. If you look up some names online, they are simply classics among classics!

The most critical thing is that before opening the door, Ling Jie was still here complaining...

The video she posted earlier was all about her own hardships, how she had come all the way from an ordinary Anchor to now, braving the scorching sun of the dog days and the freezing cold of the dead of winter...

And now she had even been subjected to Internet Violence and was depressed, and so on...

Anyway, she kept saying that she had only made a small mistake that many Anchors make, but she hadn't expected the other party to actually want her to quit the internet!

And permanently at that.

As a result, she had just been saying that she would absolutely not quit the internet and would work hard with the support of her darlings, and in the blink of an eye, she was arrested...

People in this world are really not stupid. Of course, there might be a few real fools, but apart from the real fools, the rest are just pretending to be stupid!

Can a mere Up Master have the ability to get someone sent to the slammer?

What kind of international joke is that?

However, the livestreaming platform probably noticed the situation here, and the livestream room was quickly banned.

Regardless of anything else, if you as an Anchor are arrested while livestreaming, at the very least, you definitely have a problem!

There is a saying here that would definitely be problematic elsewhere, but here, it has no problem at all: why did the police comrades only arrest you and not him!

That's right, you are suspected of a crime, so should they arrest someone who isn't suspected of a crime instead of you?

The livestream room was closed. Those who had just arrived to watch the spectacle, as well as Ling Jie's die-hard fans, could only move to other grounds, but it must be said, this matter had a huge impact on those who had been following this incident!

At this moment, in Zhou Yi's comment section, Yuan Jie had already fought on all fronts, and that "Ordinary Person" had been roasted to the point of being unable to show their face.

"Come on, who else? I'll just ask, who else? The person has already been arrested, what else are you saying? Shouldn't have been arrested? Was that something A Yi could make happen? How come I didn't know he had such great energy!"

However, the operator of Ling Jie's livestream room soon came forward.

"Yes, Ling Jie was arrested, she did make a mistake, but doesn't your Up Master have any faults at all? She is a single mother. I'll just ask you, now that the mother has been arrested, what will happen to her child?"

"Why can't there be a little less hostility, why can't there be a little more tolerance?"

In Guang City, Yuan Jie put down the herbal jelly in her hand and chuckled: "Just this level? Playing the moral kidnapping card? I've been bored of that for years, okay?"

"First, I must clarify to you: A Yi is not our Up Master, he is just the donkey of our production team. As for the single mother you mentioned, since it's already according to the law, then everything should just follow the law."

"Then, the child has a father, right? If the mother is arrested, the father can take care of them. If there's no father, are there grandparents? If there really aren't any, I see that this gentleman or lady is very kind, so why don't you help out?"

"However, I've been following that Ling Jie's videos and livestreams, and I've only ever heard of her so-called son of a few years old from her own mouth!"

"Finally, let me say one thing in your tone: do you know how hard A Yi works? He was filming videos for us while running a fever of eighty degrees, his hands were chopped off and he was still working hard to edit videos for us... Forget it, I can't make this up anymore, dog author, update for me!"

Yuan Jie's barrage of words was like a combination of defense and offense, leaving the person speechless.

However, with these words from Yuan Jie, the comment section at least became much calmer.

At home in Yuefu Residential Quarter, Zhou Yi was dumbfounded at the phone and said: "Really? This is still a small matter? By the way, how do you know about news like this?"

Fang Dazhuang on the other end of the phone chuckled and said: "How big is Jingzhou City? It's a tiny place. If I couldn't even find out about this, I might as well quit early."

That was true, Zhou Yi agreed. Fang Dazhuang had been a Lawyer for many years; as a big shot in the industry, whether it was connections or other things, it far exceeded his imagination.

It was really easy to find out the inside story of an internet celebrity.

To ordinary viewers, an internet Anchor is like a person in a mirror—very mysterious, and you can only see the side they want you to see.

But let alone within the circle, at even a slightly higher level, nothing can be hidden at all.

For example, Lawyer Fang just said that Ling Jie was indeed married, but she has no children.

Yes, she kept saying she was a single mother, but she never had a child!

She married early but never had children, then divorced due to marital discord and came to Jingzhou City to develop; her education level is not high, but she is good at speaking, and slowly, she actually became popular.

After some packaging, her way of speaking already had a bit of a host's feel, making it impossible for you to tell that she only finished middle school before.

This was something Zhou Yi hadn't expected; after all this fuss, everything marketed was fake...

Zhou Yi even thought that if it were him, having marketed for so long and living in lies all day, he would very likely have hallucinations in the end, feeling that he really had a child.

One can only say that the matter of "Setting a Persona" carries too much risk; once it collapses, it will blow oneself up first.

The person has already been arrested, and all kinds of Shock-style Articles have appeared online, such as some internet celebrity being arrested during a livestream, fiercely grabbing traffic.

Tomorrow is the time for the court hearing; this was decided beforehand, and why the person was arrested today is probably related to this, and it is estimated that there is a high probability that the Court will pass a judgment.

Zhou Yi originally didn't intend to pay attention to these things, but he slowly discovered some articles.

The beginning of them writes: why would a single mother raising a child alone encounter such a sudden disaster? This needs to be started from that parking space...

After reading a few glances, he felt a bit dizzy; do these people never care about anything else when writing articles? Is it just to attract people's attention?

It seems like the Internet Violence that he, Zhou Yi, experienced was just a game; why!

Why does the other party need sympathy, while his, Zhou Yi's, series of reasonable and legal Legal Aid actions need to be condemned?

Could it be that he cannot fight back after being attacked by the other party?

Looking at these people's words, saying what kind of people need to be kind, need to learn to be tolerant...

Damn it!

But he can only be angry; he has no way, even if he stands up and says Ling Jie has no children, who would believe him.

People have already determined that you are bullying an orphan and a widow, so whatever you say, they will directly cover their ears and not listen, and after you finish speaking, they will start spraying you.

However, thinking that fortunately Ling Jie will eventually have to go in and stay for a few days, Zhou Yi felt a little calmer.

Just at this moment, Yuan Jie's call came again.

"What are you doing? I'm telling you I don't want to update now, I'm very annoyed!"

"Open your phone, find Peaceful Jingzhou, and look at the content posted."

Peaceful Jingzhou? Zhou Yi clicked on it with curiosity and found that this was the account of the Jingzhou City Public Security.

Then looking again, this account released a message.

"Recently, we noticed that many remarks appeared because a certain internet celebrity was arrested, so after investigation, we issued a statement: although internet celebrity Ling Jie has been divorced, she does not have any children!"

Huh? The official media actually came out to refute the rumors?

Zhou Yi suddenly laughed loudly: "What's going on, Yuan Jie? Logically speaking, official media shouldn't care about such small matters, right."

It is indeed not big; after all, the scale of both Ling Jie and him is too small, and they simply cannot cause a big stir.

The search volume is pitifully low, so actually, the ones spraying each other back and forth are just this group of people...

Yuan Jie on the other end of the phone laughed: "Who knows what these fans are thinking? Not only did they spray you, but one by one they also ran under the official media to question them, questioning why they arrested the person and what will happen to that child!"

"What will happen if the child has problems, and so on..."

"Look, they asked for a hammer and got a hammer, it was released directly: no children, thank you."

"Sometimes I'm also curious, you say as fans, do they just want those Anchors or Up Masters to go in? Especially those who don't update and cut off videos."

Zhou Yi coughed a few times upon hearing this: "Ahem, don't mind these details. I reckon it's possible that it's like the 'Walking Five Hundred Thousand', so all this is a conspiracy of the US, no problem..."

Putting down the phone, Zhou Yi laughed loudly; we common people are really happy today!

If you don't believe my words, then do you believe this blue-background message announcement?

This time the matter really had many twists and turns; looking at the system interface, the task completion rate has reached ninety percent!

He hasn't even filmed a video, but this has a greater promotional effect than filming a video.

It is estimated that from now on, those internet celebrity Anchors should be more careful when filming videos to slander others in the future.

According to Lawyer Fang's statement, it was because the money at that restaurant was small; otherwise, it would definitely have been enough for Extortion.

But thinking about it, he really needs to film a video to summarize it, letting everyone know the various difficulties he, Zhou Yi, encountered while being serious all the way through this matter.

To be reasonable, it was only because he, Zhou Yi, opened a cheat that his mentality remained very good; otherwise, just that previous wave of Internet Violence would have been enough to make someone ascend.

So now everyone says not to engage in Internet Violence, because this thing is really too much of a double-edged sword!

The onlookers on the internet can sometimes directly make a person commit suicide just by relying on a few words; such behavior is problematic no matter how you put it!

Therefore, Zhou Yi feels that he needs to talk about it properly; let the law belong to the law.

Naturally, no one questioned this release; soon, in Zhou Yi's comment section, the "Ordinary Person" who had already been lurking was dragged out and hammered by everyone.

"See it now? Sister, I told you long ago not to easily believe a Setting a Persona; just because she says it is, does it mean it is?"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, come out and get beaten, that person called whatever, hurry up!"

"Laughing to death, a single mother for many years, but actually has no children; this Setting a Persona is really stable enough!"

The evening streets were bustling with traffic; inside the cafe, Lawyer Fang was meticulously preparing his spiked coffee when he suddenly felt full of murderous intent in front of him!

Looking up, it was Zhou Xinran, dressed in professional attire with a deep expression on her face.

At this moment, this rookie Lawyer looked at Lawyer Fang and said: "Teacher Fang, I want to ask, do we have a grudge between us?"

Lawyer Fang was stunned for a moment, but still said: "If I say this is a coincidence, do you believe it?"

Life is just so impermanent; Zhou Yi doesn't want to make videos for the time being and plans to go downstairs for a walk. Miss Xiao Xu just sent a message asking if he is still renting the parking space, and Zhou Yi plans to go talk to her.

Money is definitely needed, and that parking space is empty anyway.

As a result, just after walking out the door, he saw Liu Nainai walking down the steps step by step.
