Sheng Jing's face turned deathly pale.
His hands trembled as he tried to turn off the live stream, but he couldn't lift them up no matter what he did.
He wanted to turn around and look at Sheng Ai behind him, but his neck was stiff as if petrified, and he couldn't move.
But then, beads of sweat dripped down his forehead...
Viewers in the live stream immediately noticed this.
[What's wrong with Jing Ge? Why is he so pale? Is he having a relapse?]
[Beautiful scenery, beautiful scenery, what's wrong? Should we call a doctor for you?]
[That's not the point, is it? The point is that Shengjing's sister said Shengjing lied. What lied?]
...
"Second Brother, what's wrong?" Sheng Ai stood behind Sheng Jing, holding a fruit platter, her expression as blank as a machine. "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Let alone sweating.
Even the magnificent scene seemed to bring tears to my eyes.
What should he say?
What exactly should he say?
To say he didn't lie? Who knows what Sheng Ai might do to him then...
If he's accused of lying, will he be able to silence netizens?
"I...I'm not feeling well..." he finally managed to say, stammering, "I...I'll turn off the live stream first..."
He reached out his stiff hand and pressed the power button...
But Sheng Ai blocked his hand with a cold, lifeless one.
"Second brother, you should apologize to the netizens right away," Sheng Ai said. "You lied."
Sheng Jing's face was covered in sweat: "I...what did I say...what lie?"
Sheng Ai: "That recording was not fake."
“I came to see you just now and overheard your conversation with Fourth Brother.”
"Fourth Brother said he had already hired a hacker to break into Cen Sai'er's phone and modify and erase some of the original recordings."
"If you get an authoritative institution to authenticate the original recording or go to court, you will definitely win."
"It's wrong to do that."
“You and your fourth brother must apologize to the public and to Cen Sai’er’s mother.”
While shedding tears, Sheng Jing cursed Sheng Ai in her heart.
That damned plague!
That damned monster!
Why is there no sound when I walk?
Why did she stand behind him without any weight or breath?
Why didn't he close the door properly because he felt hot?
And so, Sheng Ai entered silently...
Now it's turned out like this...
What should he do?
The live stream chat exploded.
[What?! Shengjing actually hired a hacker to modify Cen's mother's recording?! That's outrageous! That's disgusting!]
[Isn't this illegal?]
[I remember Shengjing's fourth brother is a lawyer, right? Lawyers who do this kind of thing get their licenses revoked, right?]
[Sheng Jing's younger sister has repeatedly pointed out that Sheng Jing is lying, it seems that Sheng Jing is a habitual liar and his words cannot be trusted at all...]
[So the recording is real! Sheng Jing was definitely indirectly responsible for Cen Sai'er's death...]
[Most importantly, Sheng Jing dated Cen Sai'er, who was under 18, and even brought her home for the night. Didn't that cross a line?]
When will Shengjing begin the process? I hope to see all the endorsements dropped today...
...
Sheng Jing didn't need to read the comments to know what netizens would say.
I also know he's definitely trending now, and it's gone viral...
I caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of my eye.
The number of viewers in the live stream has exceeded one million and is still increasing rapidly...
what to do?
What should he do?
Who will save him?
Who saved him before?
Oh, right!
system!
He cried out in his mind, "[System, save me!]"
[How do you want me to save you?]
[Please let this intense love disappear immediately...]
[Are you kidding me? I don't even know what Sheng Ai is, how am I supposed to make her disappear?]
[Then, I'll spend my points to disconnect my internet so no one can see my livestream, right? You can manage that, can't you?]
[Normally it's possible, but with Sheng Ai here, I dare not move...]
Sheng Jing was furious and yelled, "[How can you be so useless as a system?]"
The system sneered, "[Could this system be more useless than you?]"
The system remained silent after that.
On the other side, Sheng Ai's voice rang out again: "Second brother, aren't you going to apologize?"
"I..." Sheng Jing looked at the computer screen, his throat hoarse, "I...I..."
So many people are watching.
Once he admits to lying, he's completely lost...
But……
If he denies lying, will his fate necessarily be... better?
"Second brother, why haven't you apologized yet?"
A hand, devoid of elasticity and warmth, rested on his shoulder.
Sheng Ai's voice was melodious, devoid of joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness, yet it sounded like a deadly curse, nearly stopping Sheng Jing's heart.
"Do you want to be a bad kid who lies in public?"
Sheng Jing felt the chill emanating from Sheng Ai; it was so cold and penetrating that it almost froze the blood in his body.
"Mom and Dad said that children who lie will be locked in the study and made to write a 3,000-word self-criticism. They can't come out until they admit their mistake."
"I...I..."
Sheng Jing opened his mouth, "I... I lied..."
Then he could no longer bear the burden.
He rolled the whites of his eyes.
She fainted.
Sheng Ai looked at the camera expressionlessly and slowly said, "My second brother lied. I'm sorry everyone."
“I will keep an eye on him from now on and make sure he doesn’t lie.”
Then she slowly reached out and turned off the live stream.
The magnificent scene, now unconscious, was plunged into a long darkness...
