Pei Linyuan returned to the office and called Pei Haoyu:
"What's going on?"
Pei Haoyu was lying in the yard basking in the sun. When he heard his eldest brother's voice, he immediately perked up and told the story again, adding fuel to the fire:
"Brother, you didn't see how arrogant Jiang Wanrou was!
She actually posted on Weibo implying that she was Ms. Jiang, and asked her bestie to forward it!
My sister-in-law was hurt and said, "Let her be!" How can I tolerate this?
Pei Linyuan listened and said in a cold tone:
"I see."
After hanging up the phone, he said to Assistant Wang beside him:
“Go check the news about Ms. Jiang online.
Also, find out who is impersonating Ms. Jiang and keep a close eye on them, but don't take any action yet."
The assistant immediately agreed: "Okay, Mr. Pei."

On the Internet, the two videos spread rapidly like viruses.
One is the help-seeking video uploaded by [Confused Fish], and the other is the screen recording of Pei Haoyu’s live broadcast.
In the video, the scene of Jiang Muyao holding talismans, copper coins and performing rituals with evil spirits made netizens go crazy.
In the comment section, there are many different opinions and it is very lively:
(This special effect is so realistic! The urn is leaking water, and the black mist is taking shape. It's just like in the movie!)
(The acting is good, but the script is so fake! Evil spirit? The urn is empty? Are you kidding a three-year-old?)
(Don’t disbelieve me, there are things in this world that cannot be explained by science! It’s better to believe it exists than not to believe it exists!)
(The special effects are just good. As long as you are willing to spend money, what special effects can't be made?)
(I think it’s real! The look in that girl’s eyes is so dramatic, it doesn’t look like she’s acting!)
(Fake news anchors, come on! This video is full of loopholes, analyze it quickly!)
Soon, some well-known anti-counterfeiting anchors also joined the discussion. They analyzed the video frame by frame, trying to find flaws:
"Look here, the image of water leaking into the urn is clearly a post-production special effects composite. The flow trajectory of the water stains does not conform to the laws of physics."
"And that part where the black mist takes shape is obviously a CG effect. The lighting and shadow effects are so fake!"
"As for the talisman paper and copper wire that young lady used, they're just props. You can easily buy the same ones online!"
The analysis of the anti-counterfeiting anchors has led more netizens to believe that the video is fake.
Some even threatened to go to the old temple to find out the truth and expose this lie:
(Brothers, I've already booked my ticket there, and I'll check in at the old temple when the time comes! I want to see if that so-called evil spirit really exists!)
(I'm going too! Bring a camera and live stream the whole thing! Watch how they cover up their lies!)
(Just wait for a slap in the face! These days, all kinds of monsters and demons are being driven out to deceive people!)

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law! Look at these people! They actually called you a liar and said they were going to the old temple to expose the fraud! I'm so angry!"
Jiang Muyao glanced at the comment: "Well, am I a liar?"
"no."
"That's it."
Pei Haoyu widened his eyes:
"Sister-in-law, you are too calm! They are all going to the old temple. What if something really happens?"
"I've sealed the evil god. There shouldn't be any danger there anymore. It's just an internet celebrity check-in spot now."

Jiang Muyao sat in front of the camera in the live broadcast room, preparing to start today's live broadcast.
As soon as the show started, some visitors came in. Before Jiang Muyao even opened her mouth, there were comments:
(Ms. Anchor, can you show me another show about talisman paper and copper coins today? I want to watch it and watch more!)
(Is the host here with her new script?)
Jiang Muyao was about to say something when a connection request suddenly popped up in the live broadcast room. She took a look.
It turned out to be an unfamiliar ID named [Lao Miao Expedition Team].
She frowned, feeling a little confused:
"The Lao Miao Expedition Team? Could they be the people who are going to fight against counterfeiting as mentioned online?"
She hesitated for a moment, but still connected the line.
The screen split in two, and a pale young man appeared on the other side.
His background looks like a dilapidated temple, with dim lighting and noisy background music.
"Master Lie... Help!"
The young man's voice trembled and his eyes were full of fear.
“Are you in the old temple?”
The young man nodded repeatedly, his voice tinged with tears:
"Yes... yes! We originally wanted to come here to fight against counterfeiting, but... but something seems really wrong here!
We are trapped, unable to get out, and our cell phones have no signal. Only this live broadcast link works..."
The barrage instantly exploded:
(Holy crap! Is this true? Is there really a ghost in this old temple?)
(Isn’t this a script? This is too fake!)
(Don’t disbelieve the above, look at that person’s expression, it doesn’t look like he’s acting!)
Jiang Muyao ignored the comments and quickly calculated, her expression changing slightly:
"Oh no! Even though the evil spirits have been sealed, those little ghosts are still there!"
[I was negligent and forgot to check the old temple! ]
She said to the young man on the other side of the camera:
"Don't panic, stay where you are, I'll be there soon."
The young man said with a sad face: "Master, please hurry up, we really can't hold on any longer!"
Jiang Muyao nodded, quickly closed the connection, and said to the netizens in the live broadcast room:
"Sorry, today's live broadcast ends here. I have something urgent to deal with."
(Host, please don’t leave. We want to see the follow-up!)
(Host, take us with you! We want to watch it too!)
(Isn’t this a script? How could this be such a coincidence?)
"If you want to watch it, just go to his live studio!"
She turned off the live broadcast, came to the living room, and said to Pei Haoyu in the living room:
"Haoyu, drive, let's go to the old temple."
Pei Haoyu looked bewildered: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
Jiang Muyao said hurriedly: "Those anti-counterfeiting people are trapped in the old temple. The little ghosts are causing trouble. We have to go and rescue them."
Pei Haoyu jumped up immediately after hearing this:
"What? Those people refused to believe in evil and insisted on seeking death. Now that something's happened, you, sister-in-law, have to save them?"
"Saving people is important, stop talking nonsense!"
Pei Haoyu curled his lips, but still went to drive obediently.
On the way, Jiang Muyao sat in the passenger seat, constantly counting with her fingers, her brows slightly furrowed.
[Those little ghosts aren't as powerful as the evil spirits, but they are numerous.]
While driving, Pei Haoyu couldn't help but ask:
"Sister-in-law, what exactly are those little ghosts? Why are they still here even though the evil spirits have been sealed?"
"The evil spirit is the mastermind, and the little ghosts are its minions. After the evil spirit was sealed, the little ghosts lost control and became more chaotic and dangerous."
Pei Haoyu's scalp tingled when he heard this:
"Then...will it be dangerous if we go there?"
"Don't worry, I'm here."
