Chapter 90 Don’t be short-sighted
Bai Qiuwu visited around and got the same result as what the old lady said.
The news of the Jin family's missing daughter has been making headlines for over a month now, and almost everyone here knows about it.
Bai Qiuwu randomly caught a few people and asked them, and they all said similar things.
The Jin family is indeed a popular family, and others feel sorry and regretful when they mention them.
Some people even feel that “good people seem to have a harder life.”
After Bai Qiuwu's round of visits, he came to several conclusions.
First, this family is indeed well-known for being warm-hearted. They always help others whenever they have the chance, and everyone likes them very much.
Second, Mr. Jin’s daughter, Ms. Jin, is very smart and kind. She has never offended anyone, or her family has never offended anyone, so there should be no revenge.
Third, this was indeed an accidental incident, because the road was very close to the village, and there was nothing unusual during that period. There was no advance reconnaissance or advance planning. It must have been a passing vehicle that had bad intentions and directly kidnapped the person.
After this series of summaries, many netizens have been able to make a decision.
I'm sure this is a child trafficking case. I've seen videos of children walking down the street and suddenly a car comes by and takes them away, leaving the parents completely bewildered.
This family is so kind, yet their child is still missing. God is so blind. Does he have to let such a kind family be destroyed? Can human traffickers disappear from this world? How can there be such disgusting things like human traffickers?
"No way! It's the 21st century, and child trafficking still exists? This kid isn't a kid anymore; he's already in high school. How could he still be trafficked? Is this kid really that stupid? My three-year-old brother knows not to go with strangers."
[I think you're very smart. Child trafficking isn't just about tricking a child into leaving with a piece of candy. There are many cases of children being forcibly taken away from the street, even college students have been forcibly abducted. You're saying you won't go with strangers. Are you some old-fashioned antique from the Qing Dynasty?]
…
Seeing that these people started to chatter among themselves again, Bai Qiuwu simply did not interrupt and turned to look at Pu Xi outside the camera.
Pu Xi noticed her gaze and gave her a puzzled look.
Bai Qiuwu motioned for the camera to stop filming him, then walked aside and whispered to Pu Xi, "I don't think there's anything to follow up on this wish."
Pu Xi was confused: "Why?"
“Because there’s nothing we can do.”
Bai Qiuwu sighed, "All we can do is learn more about their background and visit their family. The child is missing, and the police have no clue. We can't act like detectives and investigate, right? That's unrealistic."
It was at this moment that Pu Xi realized the problem. He frowned and subconsciously asked, "What should I do then?"
"I think that once the results come out, we just need to announce them. I can feel that my wish will soon come true, in just two days."
"We should also pay attention to other people's wishes. We have been visiting people all the time. Won't other people's wishes be left out? We are moving too slowly."
Pu Xi had obviously thought of this as well, and nodded almost immediately: "The backend has screened out a new wish list, and it's indeed quite a lot. So, what do you plan to do next?"
Pu Xi's attitude towards Bai Qiuwu now cannot be described as admiration, it can even be said that he is completely obedient to him. How could he not agree to the suggestions put forward by Bai Qiuwu?
Moreover, he knows very well that everyone has his or her own areas of expertise. He is only good at marketing, so he only takes on marketing work. It is better to listen to Bai Qiuwu for the content of this live broadcast.
Bai Qiuwu wasn't polite. She thought about it carefully and made a decision directly: "Then we will stay in this city for a few days and continue to push the live broadcast content. Don't worry about this for now. Just wait for it to come true."
Pu Xi nodded.
So, Bai Qiuwu returned to the camera.
She first explained to everyone: "Sorry, something happened just now."
"Well, I have an idea I want to share with everyone. It's about this wish. I can feel that it's about to come true, but there's nothing we can do to help at the moment, so I decided to put it aside for now."
"When the results come out, I'll broadcast the results live, and then we'll move on. It's been a while since I accepted any wishes, and the backstage wishes have piled up to a certain number."
"If everyone has no objections, I will go back and prepare a wish list for this period of time, and then come back to the live broadcast to realize other wishes with everyone."
As she spoke, she was also paying attention to the reactions of netizens.
When netizens heard this, they were stunned at first, and then the screen was filled with question marks.
By the time she finished speaking, netizens were already going wild.
"What do you mean? Never mind? What do you mean by putting this aside? Explain yourself more clearly. How can you do things halfway? Isn't this ridiculous? The father is still waiting for his daughter to be found, and you just put it aside?"
[I knew this was a scam. It's too difficult to do. They didn't even make up a reason and just left it alone. Oh my god, they take people for fools. Aren't you destroying your own reputation? Unfollow, unfollow, damn the scammer.]
I'm speechless. What does this mean? You're just profiting from people's misfortunes and making enough traffic, and now you're doing this, right? You're not even pretending, are you? How can you be so unkind? How can you not keep your promise?
Bai Qiuwu looked at the comments and was speechless: "Don't you understand what I'm saying? When did I say I don't care? If you just keep wasting time here, we can't help much. We can't turn into detectives and find the murderer, can we?"
"Since he made a wish and I agreed, then this wish will definitely come true. I only have a rough idea of when and how it will come true."
"For example, I think this wish can be fulfilled within two days, but I don't have much to do during these two days. I've already visited everyone I need to visit, so I can't do anything else. So, is there anything wrong with continuing to live stream content and help other people realize their wishes?"
Bai Qiuwu's tone was not particularly sarcastic, reflecting her usual calm attitude. However, it sounded particularly harsh to some netizens who were already dissatisfied.
[You say it so nicely, but you still don't want to care. I'm telling you, I don't want to hear other wishes. I just want to continue paying attention to this one. I don't want to follow your progress. Either you continue broadcasting, or admit that you are a liar who is profiting from the blood of others.]
This person is truly hilarious. On the one hand, he says his wish will definitely come true, but on the other, he doesn't even know how or when. It's just a bunch of vague concepts. You yourself don't know anything, so how dare you say you know everything? And what makes you so sure your wish will come true?
Although the wishes I've fulfilled before were a bit far-fetched, I still think there's room for maneuver. She's choosing to escape now, probably because she's really not confident. After all, the police can't find her, so what can an online scammer do? She's just running away.
I mean, one wish a day? These past few days, I've been visiting for more than three days, and I even went to the court. So, isn't that missing out on a few wishes? If you want to help the public, shouldn't you be working on both fronts simultaneously? Focusing on just these three wishes seems a bit shortsighted.
[My thoughts are the same as before. I support both sides moving forward together. Those of you who don't want to watch it, can you please leave on your own initiative? If you say it's a scam, then don't watch it. Leave the opportunity to make a wish to me. Thank you. I am willing to be deceived. Please let me suffer this pain.]
…
There are too many people watching the live broadcast. Even brothers have different ideas, let alone hundreds of thousands of netizens. It is normal to have different ideas.
What's more, when Bai Qiuwu said he wanted to see their reactions, he was just looking and had no intention of listening to their opinions.
After announcing her ideas, she considerately gave everyone some time to discuss. Seeing that everyone was talking non-stop with no intention of stopping, she calmly interrupted them.
"Okay, I've shared my thoughts with everyone. I'm going to end the live broadcast now. The time of the next live broadcast is uncertain, but it will probably be posted on Weibo. You can follow me on Weibo."
"As for the friends who will make wishes and appear in the live broadcast room next time, I will probably post them on Weibo in advance and organize a vote or something to see who everyone thinks needs help the most."
After saying that, she didn't care about the netizens' reactions and ended the live broadcast directly.
I don’t know how many netizens are still venting their dissatisfaction angrily, but they don’t know that others don’t even read it, just leave after speaking, and don’t take them seriously at all.
This attitude is far different from those anchors or even celebrities who treat their fans as their parents.
This made a lot of people unhappy instantly. They might be just ordinary people in real life, and even have to swallow their anger for a living, but online, their face is really more important than their life.
Bai Qiuwu's attitude undoubtedly angered them.
The live broadcast room is closed and you can’t post comments. It doesn’t matter. Aren’t there many platforms where you can post comments?
In this situation, the first to fall is Weibo.
It is obvious that her reputation has improved a lot in recent times, and even many people have been worshipping her on Bai Qiuwu's Weibo. However, because of this wave of actions, a wave of criticism against her was instantly triggered.
Bai Qiuwu felt that he had made it very clear in the live broadcast room. It was not that he would ignore it, but he was prepared to move forward together. He would still notify when the results came out.
But who cares about this? What each one said was more outrageous than the other. It became so popular that it attracted marketing accounts, who started to talk nonsense again. In the end, it even became a hot topic, and the title was very eye-catching.
#Bai Qiuwu's title of Wish Master has failed! #
Bai Qiuwu's recent popularity is obvious to all. I don't know how many people know that such a master of metaphysics has appeared. There are also many people who have not paid attention but have only heard of him. When they saw this title, they all felt as if it was true.
Look, the scammer has failed. Shouldn’t we go and check it out immediately?
They don't care about the real facts, and don't even watch the live broadcast replay. They just read the out-of-context posts written by marketing accounts, and build a high-rise building below.
Floor 1: I knew it would fail sooner or later, but I didn’t expect it to fail so soon. These sisters are no good. Their metaphysical personalities can only last for so long. The previous one at least lasted for a few years.
Second floor: If you ask me, she is not low-key enough. If she wants to create the image of a master, she should remain mysterious. She should come out once every few years, fulfill one or two wishes each time, buy some marketing materials, and stay out of public view. This will create a high level of anticipation. Wouldn't her master status be secured?
3rd Floor: I've already said this scammer is after money, so how can they make money if they keep it secret? I just want to know why the platform doesn't do anything about this blatant scam. Could there really be someone behind it? I heard she's having an affair with the CEO of Starlight? I don't know if that's true.
…
There was a lot of uproar on the Internet for a while, and the most fierce comments came an hour after Bai Qiuwu went off the air.
At that time, they had already returned to their temporary residence. Pu Xi was the person who paid the most attention to the online trend. Seeing this, he became very anxious and rolled up his sleeves to spend money to remove the trending search.
Seeing this, Bai Qiuwu stopped him.
"Why spend that money?"
"If you don't spend this money to increase your popularity, are you going to just watch these people scold you? Your reputation has just started to improve, don't let it be ruined again because of this."
"It's ruined, so what? We don't care about that." Bai Qiuwu smiled, his expression nonchalant: "What's there to say? Anyway, we don't lack people who make wishes now."
Bai Qiuwu's goal from the beginning was to help more people who wanted to make a wish, and he never forgot his goal from beginning to end.
In her opinion, as long as she becomes famous, has popularity, and has a steady stream of people making wishes, that's enough.
There is nothing else to care about. It doesn’t matter whether you are scolded or praised.
Pu Xi couldn't be as free and easy as her, but after being stopped, he didn't spend money impulsively.
But he was still a little conflicted, and couldn't help but secretly change to a small account and start arguing with these people.
He told everyone that he was not ignoring the situation, but that he could not help for the time being. He would continue to pay attention to the follow-up and then broadcast the follow-up live.
There was no fraud, and the reward function in the live broadcast room was not even turned on. How could it be considered a fraud?
But his power alone was too weak. Those people simply didn't listen, and a bunch of people came to mock him. Under such a huge offensive, his few weak explanations were instantly drowned out.
He was almost mad to death because of the ridicule from those people.
However, just as he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight a one-on-one battle with a hundred enemies, Bai Qiuwu's eyes suddenly lit up.
"A wish has come true!"
At the same time, the local police station suddenly received a call.
"What? The girl was found? But something unexpected happened? What accident?"
