[Yes! Qianqian, honey, you gotta check out the trending search list!]
[After seeing that post by the web novel writer on the trending search list, I guarantee all the anti-fans will shut up!]
[Any anti-fans live streaming? I just can't wait to see your stunned faces.]
Inside the live broadcast room.
Su Qianqian skeptically opened the trending search list on the Kuaidou live streaming video platform.
>[Top] Striving relentlessly, composing new chapters in our era!
>[Top] Anti-fraud essay competition ongoing—Who will be the king of anti-fraud literature?
>During the May Day holiday, is it about the views or the people? (Hot Discussion)
>Current situation at various tourist spots during May Day holiday
>Awaken, MAN!
>N ways to kick off your May Day holiday
>Looking at the world with the eyes of the new era? (Hot Discussion)
>Can you believe it, a fraudster group was scammed by a web novel writer! (New)
The trending search list of the Kuaidou platform was displayed before the eyes of the audience in the live broadcast room.
Everyone's gaze sharpened, focusing on the last two hot searches.
Su Qianqian frowned, hovered the mouse over the trending topic, and slowly read it out, her voice filled with utter disbelief, "This May Day holiday, a web novel writer arrested a criminal gang?"
Hiss!
After reading it, she propped her chin with her left hand, a full expression of incredulity on her face.
The audience in the live broadcast room felt the same.
[This hot search must've been bought, right?]
[Marketing! Definitely marketing!]
[A hot search like this screams fake at first glance!]
[Only a web novel writer could come up with such a hot topic, who the hell would believe that?]
[Cutting-edge stuff, eye-opening!]
Su Qianqian chuckled after inspecting the list a bit more.
As a seasoned host, she wouldn't jump to conclusions.
After all, phrases like "pour Auntie a cup of cappuccino," "I can beat you with just 17 cards," "I'll eat this computer screen right now" were still circulating.
Whether it was true or false, you wouldn't know until you clicked to check it out.
Su Qianqian's slender index finger gently clicked the mouse, on the link to the hot search "web novel writer arrests a criminal gang," and it jumped to a new page.
At the top of the page was a video.
Video title—Web Novel Writer's Epic Rescue, Single-handedly Subdues Fraudster Gang!
Publisher: Lincang Police.
Likes: 50k+
Views: 300k+
Seeing the name of the publisher, 'Lincang Police,' Su Qianqian couldn't help but frown and her expression froze, "Did Mr. Lin really arrest a fraudster gang?"
The trolls and lurkers in the live room tactically shut their mouths.
What if?
What was previously a noisy and chaotic live room fell into a rare silence due to one video.
Su Qianqian also revealed a bright smile, like a refreshing breeze after the rain in Jiangnan, caressing the drooping willows on the shore, stirring gentle ripples on the river, spreading outwards, circle by circle.
Then, like the audience in the live room, she focused her gaze on the video.
'Pay attention, this man's name is Shuai.'
'Alone, he stopped a transnational fraud crime, subdued 15 fraudsters, and rescued 12 victims.'
In the live broadcast room, barrage comments riddled with question marks flew up.
[What's with this twist? Are the police's Kuaidou accounts getting in on the act now?]
[That gun-flipping scene, it's like Hua Zi's signature move!]
[Can I say this seems a bit too wild?]
[Disclaimer: I'm just a bystander, but single-handedly? That sounds way too fake, right?]
[Does it feel like they're shooting a movie?]
Su Qianqian watched quietly without speaking.
She believed that Lin Chuan hadn't plagiarized, but the commentary in the video indeed seemed a bit exaggerated to her.
How could a web novel writer single-handedly subdue 15 fraudsters?
Yet as the video played.
The true nature of the event slowly unfolded before her eyes.
One of the photos.
15 fraudsters were squatting in front of Lin Chuan and Shen Qianqian, heads in hands, their eyes full of unease and panic, as if they were mice that saw a cat.
Plus the interrogation by Guo Ming, captain of Lincang Criminal Police Brigade, along with Shen Qianqian and Old Bai.
The 'arrest of criminal gang' incident was displayed in its entirety in the live room.
Hiss!
After watching it, Su Qianqian couldn't help but inhale sharply, sighing, "Reality is far more exciting than fiction!"
Inside the live broadcast room.
The viewers wore faces filled with life-doubting expressions.
[Is this guy really a web novel writer?]
[He must be an elite in the police force who moonlights as a novelist.]
[Considering his skills and mental fortitude, I suspect he's truly pulled off fraud before!]
[Subduing 15 fraudsters with a toy gun, if he had a real gun, I can't even imagine!]
[Damn, confident men are so handsome!]
[How do you know he's handsome if he didn't show his face?]
[I'm already smitten and he hasn't even shown his face; what more if he does?]
[I've seen Mr. Lin, he's really handsome!]
[And who are you? I'm a graduate student with a master's degree from a 985 university, an eyewitness of the incident!]
[So you're the Bai who got scammed in a cyber love affair and couldn't control yourself?]
[I don't understand what you're saying, I'm gone, bye!]
In the live broadcast room, the trolls fell silent.
This wasn't just a losing battle anymore.
Criticizing Lin Chuan for plagiarizing, because he hadn't experienced life in the factory area and hadn't dealt with fraudster groups.
But what about him?
He took advantage of the May Day holiday to travel to Yundian Lincang, where he pulled off a high-end maneuver: with a toy gun, he scared fifteen fraudsters into surrendering to the law.
It's estimated that those fifteen fraudsters, even when they wake up in the middle of the night to pee, would smack themselves twice and then curse themselves, 'Idiot, it was a toy gun!'
At this moment.
Su Qianqian's face broke into a radiant smile, her eyelashes fluttering gently, her eyes curving into crescents: "Okay, let's see what the author of 'All-In' has written in the new chapter about catching the scam gang."
She smiled brightly, feeling a sense of joy in her heart.
It wasn't just because the anti-fans had shut up, but also because the author of the work she liked had proved himself through actual action.
Even though this action was very thrilling and risky.
But this way of proving oneself was quite to Su Qianqian's taste.
Simple and violent.
Su Qianqian suddenly remembered that Youyou, who had been in frequent contact with her these past few days, might not yet know about this, so she immediately drafted a message and sent it to Youyou.
Modu.
The night was bustling, neon lights flickering.
Youyou stood on the balcony in an oversized T-shirt, the boisterous wind blowing, holding a mobile phone in her hand, which transmitted the voice of the editor-in-chief:
"Youyou, you'd better get Mr. Lin to issue a clarification statement quickly. We've had too many reports these past few days, and the orientation of public opinion is very negative."
"Okay, I'll handle it right away."
Youyou sighed.
Alas... These readers, who came out of nowhere, had gone crazy, reporting Lin Chuan incessantly.
Not only did they report him on Sailing Novel, but they also filed reports on the Anti-Fraud Center's website.
As a result, the relevant staff members at the Anti-Fraud Center pressured Sailing Novel.
Fortunately, Youyou fought hard and reassured the editor-in-chief multiple times, promising to submit an explanation to the Anti-Fraud Center on behalf of Sailing Novel.
But due to the rampant plagiarism, most readers who had read Ming's 'The Years I Was Tricked into the Factory Area' were reluctant to click into Lin Chuan's 'All-In'.
Meanwhile, Ming was doing a live broadcast on Fast Shake.
Riding on the gimmick of 'real-life experience of being duped into a factory area,' his book received loads of traffic daily and had already ranked first in the anti-fraud novel section.
Lin Chuan's 'All-In' was at 98th place, barely hanging within the top hundred.
Only the top hundred could advance to the next round.
At this moment, the summer night's breeze suddenly felt chilling, and Youyou let out a soft sigh, ready to discuss strategies with Lin Chuan on her mobile phone.
Suddenly.
'Ding Dong Ding Dong—'
Su Qianqian sent her a message: "Youyou, Mr. Lin is on the hot search."
Youyou leaned on the balcony railing, her face registering surprise.
Lin Chuan is on the hot search?
What big thing has he done now?
Without much thought, she immediately opened the Fast Shake app and quickly scanned the hot search list for items related to Lin Chuan.
Out of the top 50 hot searches, she filtered out four.
>During the May Day holiday, this web novel writer arrested a crime gang (Hot Topic)
>Can you believe it, a fraud gang was scammed by a web novel writer!
>Mr. Lin, Ming, which one is the web novel writer who escaped the factory area (New)
>All-In (New)
Hisss!
Youyou's eyes widened.
Afterward, she immediately clicked on every trending search related to Lin Chuan.
Video after video, comment after comment flashed before her eyes. She couldn't help but smile, incessantly tapping the like button.
Until a notification popped up: "You are operating too frequently, please try again later."
It was then that Youyou walked back into her room from the balcony and lay on the soft, huge bed, with her bare feet up in the air. She placed her phone in front of her, a smile covering her face, and sent Lin Chuan a message:
"Babe~ you did so well!"
"/rose.jpg"
The phone quickly rang with the 'ding-dong ding-dong' of a message notification, it was Lin Chuan replying: "Youyou, you know already?"
Youyou pursed her lips, beaming with joy, "Of course, I know. You didn't get hurt, did you?"
Elsewhere.
Lin Chuan was staying at a guesthouse in Lincang City, sniffing the aroma of blue jacaranda coming in through the window. He smiled and replied, "No worries, they surrendered before I even made a move."
"Haha, Babe~ you are really too cool!" Youyou laughed brightly.
Since the beginning of May, she had been caught up in somewhat gloomy weather, constantly thinking of ways to deal with the 'plagiarism scandal', but to little avail.
Finally, tonight, Lin Chuan had given her some good news!
He had really gone and taken down a fraud ring!
This undoubtedly was a huge relief pill Lin Chuan gave her!
The fraud gang had been taken down by Lin Chuan, and Lin Chuan had also demonstrated extraordinary courage and tactics—who would dare to accuse him of plagiarism now?
The trending searches were up, so the traffic was there!
Awesome!
Youyou was so happy her two delicate white feet were wiggling.
Lin Chuan, half-reclining in bed and seeing Youyou's praise, felt a small sense of satisfaction. He replied, "I am a bit of a modest charmer. /haha.jpg"
That night.
Massive amounts of traffic poured into Lin Chuan's "All-In", its ranking soared rapidly, emerging like a dark horse out of nowhere.
But it wasn't a dark horse; it was more like a king, having its moment of peak.
The night grew denser.
The dark night sky enveloped the earth, the moon shone cold and clear, and a seemingly abandoned factory on the outskirts lay in silence.
Outside the factory, weeds grew in disarray, the night breeze did not seem gentle here; it was more like a ghost rustling through the weeds, swaying the shadows of the trees, making a soft, rustling sound, desolate and lonely.
Where there is joy, there is also sorrow.
Inside the factory.
A bald man in a black shirt sat in an office on the top floor, his face fierce, cursing angrily: "Idiots! Idiots! All fifteen of them caught, what the hell happened!?"
He was Sister Mei's boss, also the head of this factory area, Old Bao.
This afternoon, he waited at the usual spot for Sister Mei to come and deliver the goods, but instead of Sister Mei, he almost ran into the armed police.
Luckily he ran fast, otherwise, he wouldn't know where he might be now.
They had just returned to the factory area not long ago.
At this moment.
In front of Old Bao stood his underling, Mi, his gaunt face betraying a trace of panic: "Boss, I just scouted the network for intelligence on that side, everything was planned out well, but suddenly someone appeared and caught them all."
The boss of the factory area, Old Bao, wrinkled his brows: "One person?"
Mi looked distressed but nodded: "Yes!"
"Fifteen people, taken down by one person, such idiots!" Old Bao couldn't help but curse again, "Find out who did it, immediately."
"We've already found out." Mi tremblingly placed a tablet in front of Old Bao.
Old Bao lit a cigarette, cocked it at the corner of his mouth, and narrowed his eyes, his gaze landing on the tablet that was playing a video, his voice cold, "A web novel writer dares to meddle in my factory's affairs!?"
