Chapter 104: There is no such thing as family or love, only interests.



After disconnecting from Xuanyuan Longyuan, Wan Jiao immediately reconnected with her second destined person. The speed was so fast it was accurate to a fraction of a second.

Netizens were left with many questions.

The screen was filled with question marks.

Wan Jiao smiled and said, "Family members, I have to participate in the recording of the variety show 'Running Man' today, so my time is very tight."

Rumors about Wan Jiao participating in a variety show have circulated online more than once, but she has never come out to confirm it, so everyone thought it was just a rumor.

But now, Wan Jiao has publicly announced in her live stream that she will be participating in "Running Man," which is a completely different matter.

Within minutes, the news that Wan Jiao was going to join the Running Man show became a trending topic on Weibo. Its popularity was comparable to the Chinese national football team winning a gold medal.

Then, because of the high level of popularity, many people tagged the official account of Running Man, which forced the Running Man production team to step forward and announce the guest list for this season of Running Man.

Wan Jiao's name is particularly eye-catching, with parentheses following it to emphasize that she is "Quick Fish Half-Immortal Wan".

This caused an uproar across the internet.

Some people say that Wan Jiao's name sounds nice.

Some say that Wan Jiao is very likely to enter the entertainment industry.

Some say that Hei Wanjiao is likely going to make a fortune by ripping people off.

There are plenty of online trolls and haters.

But they had never encountered anything like this before: just criticizing a livestreaming influencer could lead to such bad luck that even drinking water would cause them trouble.

Just... the score on the plain.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

Let's go back to Wan Jiao's live stream.

The second person to be chosen was a 20-year-old male college student who looked disheveled. He appeared on the split screen of the live stream, and compared to Wan Jiao's stunning beauty, they were worlds apart.

This has made those who are obsessed with appearances restless.

【Hey bro, no offense intended, but I just really want to ask you, don't you feel any remorse for appearing so openly in a streamer's livestream?】

Hey buddy, at least tidy yourself up a bit! Look at your messy hair, I really...

[Dude, did you just crawl out of a hen's belly? Looking at your messy hair, I really need to tie your mouth shut!]

Faced with netizens' 'attacks' and 'greetings' about his image, 20-year-old Zhang Yu was not angry at all. In fact, his eyes suddenly reddened, and he looked at Wan Jiao very seriously, "Anchor, my sister cheated on me with her husband and ran away with that man with the family's money. Can you help me find her?"

As soon as Zhang Yu said this, the entire live stream went wild.

I just watched the movie "Cooked Her" a couple of days ago, and I think there's something very strange about your sister running off with a man.

[Dude, how long has your sister been on the run? If it's been more than 48 hours, we suggest you call the police.]

Hell is empty, and all the devils are here among us. Anyone who disappears without a trace, whether male or female, shall be treated as murdered.

Brother, call the police quickly, hopefully in time!

While netizens were expressing their opinions, Wan Jiao stared intently at Zhang Yu. After about ten seconds, she parted her red lips slightly and said, "You don't have a sister at all."

Zhang Yu didn't expect Wan Jiao to expose him so quickly, and his face turned bright red.

But only for a moment, and a pleading look appeared on his stubble-covered face, "Answerer, I lied, it wasn't my sister, it was my mother. She took all the money from home, and Dad said she ran off with another man, that she doesn't want me or him anymore, I..."

"You believe she's not that kind of person, that's why you came to my live stream, right?" Wan Jiao interrupted Zhang Yu and asked him.

Zhang Yu nodded, "My mother loves me very much. She said that even if she only had one breath left, she would watch me get married and have children before she passed away. I haven't even graduated from university yet, so she would never do such a thing."

Wan Jiao stared at Zhang Yu's parents' palace for two seconds, then changed the subject, "Do your parents have a good relationship?"

Zhang Yu paused for a moment, then said, "That's great. They're a model couple, and everyone around them envies them."

Zhang Yu was telling the truth, but...

Wan Jiao pursed her lips, knowing full well that it would hurt Zhang Yu, but still told the truth, "From the parents' palace on your face, I can see that your mother has passed away."

"My mother passed away?" Zhang Yu could hardly believe his ears. "Anchor, are you kidding me? My mother has always been in good health; she rarely even catches a cold..."

Wan Jiao was being honest, interrupting Zhang Yu again before he could finish speaking, saying clearly, "Your mother didn't die of illness, she was murdered."

[Is this a 2.0 version of "The Cooked Girl"?]

[Suddenly reminded me of that story about 'wife and kids in heaven'...]

Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap... This isn't what I thought, is it...?

As a college student, Zhang Yu couldn't have been unaware of the news and movies about "wife-killing" cases. After glancing at the comments on the screen, his gaze returned to Wan Jiao's face. "Answerer, my mother..."

Wan Jiao didn't mince words and went straight to the point: "Break down the newly built wall in your bathroom."

Zhang Yu's expression instantly cracked.

His hand holding the phone was trembling, and his lips were quivering.

He couldn't imagine how he would face it if his father really had killed his mother.

"Host, you're kidding me, right?"

Wan Jiao sighed, "I'm sorry, those who cultivate the Tao do not lie."

There are always more good people than bad people in this world.

[Young man, you said yourself that your mother loves you very much. As her son, you must be brave.]

[Running away won't solve the problem; you have to face it. Besides, if your mother really was murdered by your father and her body is embedded in the bathroom wall, then you're in danger right now too. For beasts, there's no such thing as family or love; only self-interest matters.]

Young man, your mother is watching you from heaven. She would surely want you to seek justice for her and bring her killer to justice.

[...]

Viewers in the live stream knew that it was a difficult decision for Zhang Yu, and they all encouraged him in their own ways.

In the end, Zhang Yu's courage triumphed over his cowardice.

After locking the door from the inside, he took a tool from the storage room and used all his strength to chisel at the newly built wall in the bathroom...
