Chapter 428 A Passerby in a Time-Travel Novel (8)

Jiang Yue was still a little unaccustomed to her sister's departure, but the feeling disappeared after a few days because there were too many silly people in the live stream. After that, Jiang Yue's days were pretty much the same. She would occasionally go out to play during the day, and at night she would live stream playing games to make money, while waiting for the arrival of the ancient-to-modern female lead.

Unfortunately, things didn't go smoothly. One day, while Jiang Yue was playing a game, someone in the live stream suddenly accused her of cheating. And it wasn't just one or two people who said it. At first, Jiang Yue thought everyone was just being silly again, but then someone sent her a gift and gave her an account that supposedly contained solid evidence of her cheating.

"Really? Then I'll show everyone."

Jiang Yue, being upright and fearless, directly opened his account and took a look. After reading it, Jiang Yue was speechless: "No, he's just spreading rumors. Look at this, everyone, he's obviously trying to force a connection to cheating. Damn it, he's obviously trying to smear me."

She opened the account and saw that she had only posted one video, yet it went viral, garnering hundreds of thousands of likes and even trending on social media. This was clearly a premeditated act. Jiang Yue frowned and asked Bai Ze to investigate. It was obvious that someone was deliberately causing trouble; it seemed that her rise to fame had affected someone else's interests.

Jiang Yue watched it again and explained to the viewers in the live stream how he forced her to cheat. By this time, Bai Ze had also figured out the whole story. It turned out that several game streamers had worked together to do it. The person who posted the video of Jiang Yue cheating was paid to do it. Jiang Yue asked Bai Ze to post the chat evidence on her Douyin account. She planned to report it to the police. With this evidence, they should be able to send the person to jail.

"That's interesting. Brothers, let me tell you what to do when you encounter this kind of situation. Don't fall into the self-proof trap. I'll tell you how to handle it."

After saying that, Jiang Yue asked Bai Ze to find a reliable lawyer. Then she opened Baidu and searched for the lawyer, pretending to find him. She then called him directly and explained the whole story. Finally, she entrusted the lawyer to sue the other party for defamation. She preserved the evidence according to the steps the lawyer taught her, and then called the police to report the crime.

"See, brothers? It's no use posting 10,000 videos to prove you didn't open it, and it's even less effective to prove your innocence offline. Anyone can make you prove your innocence, so how many times would you have to prove it? Our country is governed by law. If you have any problems, go to the police. Our teachers taught us that in elementary school."

"I saw some people in the comments saying that the other person didn't do it on purpose. Can't I even question it? Of course you can question me. I called the police, didn't I? If I really cheated, I would also be responsible. Do you think I don't know whether I cheated or not? I was playing my cards openly. Do you think I'm afraid you'll spread rumors?"

“I bet this person took money to do this, I bet he’ll go to jail. I’m telling you all here that I won’t settle or accept apologies. If you want a lighter sentence, I advise you to turn yourself in.”

"The number of views and reposts of your video has already constituted a serious offense. The internet is not a lawless place. I think the police will definitely be able to find out whether you received money or not. Similarly, if I were cheating, I would be banned across the entire internet. So let's see who wins. I have 100% confidence in myself. It's up to you whether you have something to hide."

"Moreover, if you look at his 'solid evidence' video, anyone who has played games for even a few days knows that every point is extremely far-fetched. And his rise to fame is abnormal; it happened too quickly. Look at the video's posting time—it was posted two hours before I started my stream. When did I become so famous? How could an unknown account get 400,000 likes in just two hours?"

"This is all aimed at me. I don't know how much money they've spent hiring online trolls. I'm telling you all, even if they're not doing this for money, they're deliberately fabricating facts to spread rumors and slander. He's definitely going to jail. It's just a matter of whether there are any backers who can get him in."

After the live stream ended, Jiang Yue felt a bit helpless. She said that's what she said on the live stream, but whether she could be sentenced was really uncertain. A lawsuit doesn't always have a result. Bai Ze could find the chat history, but it was illegally obtained and couldn't be used as evidence. However, things developed in a way that Jiang Yue didn't expect. The next day, after Jiang Yue's family went to the police station, the person who took the money to do the job actually turned himself in at noon.

Jiang's parents looked at each other in bewilderment. Jiang Yue, on the other hand, had some suspicions in her mind. She had asked Bai Ze to investigate the person who was spreading rumors. He discovered that this person was a keyboard warrior online but a coward in real life. This was the first time he had done something like this. Jiang Yue found out that after she mentioned hiring a lawyer, he had looked up who the lawyer was. Then, Jiang Yue changed all of the other person's Douyin (TikTok) posts.

Instead, he showed lawyer Zhang San's various winning cases, especially those involving defamation and slander, where the winning rate was practically 100%. He was so scared by the sight of the convicted defendants weeping and wailing that he couldn't sleep all night.

Jiang Yue watched the surveillance footage and saw that the guy was still struggling with what to do. The people who gave him money kept comforting him and telling him not to be afraid. However, after seeing the video Jiang Yue sent of him leaving the police station, he was so scared that he went to the police station to turn himself in.

Everyone was happy to see this happen. Jiang's parents were no longer worried, Jiang Xin was relieved, and the police and lawyers were overjoyed. This guy's investigation was so successful that they didn't even need to investigate; the results came knocking on their door. Jiang's parents treated Jiang Yue to a big meal, and during her live stream that night, Jiang Yue told her fans about it: "This matter has been resolved. The other party has turned himself in to the police station."

After Jiang Yue explained, her fans all said she was talking nonsense, especially some of the haters. Jiang Yue was too lazy to pay attention to them. With over 5 million followers, Jiang Yue still has some influence. She estimated that the police would issue a statement soon. Jiang Yue had also mentioned it to them, and they said they would handle it as soon as possible.

After finishing a game, Jiang Ma pushed open the door to the live stream room: "Yue'er, open Weibo and take a look. The police have issued a notice. I forwarded it to you on WeChat. Show it to everyone."

"Mom, I know. Please cut some fruit for me, I'm craving some. Thank you, Mom."

"Okay, wait a minute, Mom will cut it for you."

While Jiang's mother was cutting fruit, Jiang Yue clicked on the link and took a look. The police announcement was very detailed, and it also stated that Yan was instructed by Jin and Long. After watching it, there was a video below, the kind where the suspect is between two police officers. This guy explained the details, and the last part was the police officers' warning not to break the law.

"See, guys? I told you this guy was suspicious. Tell me, wasn't I right? All you haters in the live stream, stand up and watch it again!"
