CHAPTER 38: CHAPTER 38: COULD THE UPLOADER BE AN UNOFFICIAL POLICE ASSOCIATE? [THIRD UPDATE]

...

「Zizhou.」

In a high-end residential area.

Qing Lan lay on her soft bed, her smooth, delicate legs idly kicking. She was scrolling through her phone while sporadically chatting with her best friend. She still had a few hours before her live stream was scheduled to start, making this a rare moment of rest for her.

Huh, that person posted a new video?

Suddenly, her account received a notification: the account named "Qin Mu" had posted a new video.

Filled with curiosity, she eagerly clicked on the notification, which took her to the video page. She immediately saw the title: "Shouldn’t a Family Stick Together?"

She blinked, not quite understanding.

Shortly after, she patiently started to watch.

The husbands of those women from the first video have come knocking again?

As she watched, she gradually pieced things together, understanding the cause and effect. In the first video, those women had been sentenced for fraud. But now, their husbands had suddenly shown up at the donor’s door, even kneeling in front of him. They had even started a live stream during the confrontation. They used the netizens and their children to continuously pressure the donor, demanding he issue a letter of understanding and provide further financial support of one hundred thousand yuan.

Are there really such shameless people in the world?

Watching this, she became so infuriated that she sat bolt upright in bed. She was afraid that if she kept lying down, she might actually explode from anger.

Following that, in the video, Qin Mu walked up to the pixelated individuals and handed over a bank card worth 200,000 yuan.

Qin Mu actually gave them money? This doesn’t seem like something he would do. Did he just swallow his pride?

Qing Lan’s eyes widened. A flicker of disappointment crossed her delicate face.

Actually, if she were in such a situation, she wouldn’t have a much better solution either. At most, she could have security forcibly remove these people. They hadn’t caused a major disturbance or engaged in overt deceit; they were simply being utterly shameless. A call to the police might result in temporary detention at most, and they would be released in a few days. Afterward, she would still have to face their continued harassment.

Huh? Why isn’t he daring to take it?

But the next second, Qing Lan saw in the video clip that the pixelated man, holding a selfie stick for his live stream, actually threw the card to the ground as if the money were burning his hands.

Not understanding this scene, she had no choice but to silently open the video’s bullet comments, hoping to find some insightful viewers.

However, she was met with an overwhelming flood of bullet comments.

"UP is too scheming! This is clearly a setup to get them sent to prison, but this guy is smart for not taking it!"

"You can’t mess with this UP; there are traps everywhere!"

"This person is truly blind, trying to morally blackmail UP. Does he think UP would be scared of someone without morals? UP will just outplay you with even fewer morals!"

"Who just said that? Delete it quickly before UP sees it, or you’re looking at a minimum of three years!"

"..."

Qing Lan, seeing these exaggerated bullet comments, was utterly bewildered. What is all this nonsense?

After trying to understand for a while, she still didn’t get it.

Luckily, it wasn’t long before, as the video continued, everything became clear.

The opposing party was so intimidated by Qin Mu’s cunning move that they were caught in a dilemma, not knowing whether to accept the money or refuse it. They planned to retreat, but Qin Mu stopped them and then directly reported them to the police for extortion.

Extortion?

Seeing this, Qing Lan was a bit baffled. From beginning to end, she had never connected this group’s actions to extortion.

Could it be... She blinked her large eyes, a possibility dawning on her. Qin Mu’s act of offering the money was probably to solidify the charge of extortion against them. To send them to prison.

But they didn’t take the money, did they? A new doubt quickly surfaced in her mind.

The video fast-forwarded. Soon, the police arrived at the scene. To prove their innocence, the group showed the video recorded during their live stream.

Then, in a countermove, seven illegal and criminal acts they committed were pointed out.

Next, Qin Mu appeared in the video, listing these seven crimes one by one.

"First, the crime of trespassing, punishable by up to three years of imprisonment or criminal detention."

"Second, infringement of image rights and privacy rights, violating public security administration regulations..."

"Third..."

All seven charges were listed in succession. Qing Lan listened, stunned, and couldn’t help but gasp.

"Here, I must especially thank our police comrades for pointing out so many issues I hadn’t noticed. As the aggrieved party, I will prosecute all seven of these crimes. I will show no mercy!"

"Currently, the relevant suspects have been detained and are awaiting trial."

At this point, the video ended.

Qing Lan’s heart, however, remained turbulent for a long time. The impact of this video was greater than all the previous ones combined.

Who would have thought that this group, attempting to use moral coercion while actually just begging, would be sent to prison by Qin Mu on seven charges!

Including their wives from before, this entire family had been neatly put away.

No wonder it had this title... Qing Lan glanced at the title and suddenly understood. A family *should* stick together!

If one included the previous "Daily English Learning" case, this uploader had sent three groups of people to prison within a week!

Could he be an undercover agent for the police, trying to meet quotas? Qing Lan couldn’t help but speculate.

First, there were the three women from before, sent to prison for fraud; she heard they were sentenced to five years. Then, "Daily English Learning" was sent to prison for defamation, reportedly for at least three years. And now, this time, the most outrageous of all: sent to prison on seven charges. It was unknown how many years they would get.

It was almost a rhythm of one video, one group sent away. She seriously suspected that if this happened a few more times, the local prisons would be overcrowded.

「Jin City.」

「The nursing home.」

As night deepened, Qin Mu successfully finished his day’s work and returned to his room.

Went viral again?

Lying in bed, he scrolled through his phone. He found that the video he had posted in the evening had already surpassed one million views. The number of bullet comments, likes, and regular comments was continually increasing.

What he found rather strange was that the comment section under this video of his seemed a bit off. He had clearly sent Yang Minghui’s entire family to prison, yet not a single "moralist" or "rational debater" had spoken up. There wasn’t even a single swear word. The trolls and self-righteous "saints" he had encountered before seemed to have completely vanished. Not one "self-proclaimed righteous person" could be found.

Moreover, the top comments in the comment section, with over ten thousand likes each, were also bizarre and rather absurd.

"After watching UP’s video, I only have one thought: tonight’s night sky is really beautiful."

"I dare not say too much, so let me just wish everyone an early New Year."

"I, too, dare not say too much; I’ll just wish our country a happy birthday in advance."

Such comments, wildly liked by netizens, were pushed to the most prominent positions at the top.

Even a comment saying "Sister Lan is awesome!" had garnered thousands of likes.

His video’s comment section could now be truly called the cleanest comment section in history.

This generation of netizens has learned to be cautious, huh.

Qin Mu shook his head helplessly. He had actually wanted to see if there were any troublemakers he could pick a fight with.

But forget troublemakers; he couldn’t even find a single nitpicker.
