"Hong Tengshao, what's wrong?"
Upon seeing the two police officers, Hong Tengshao felt a pang of anxiety and asked.
"Hong Tengshao, according to the investigation, you are suspected of manipulating multiple accounts to fabricate and publish illegal information online."
"You are hereby summoned verbally for allegedly spreading rumors and defaming others, which has been widely circulated. Please come with us to the station for investigation."
After looking at his identification, one of the police officers standing in front of him spoke directly to Hong Tengshao.
"Impossible! How could this be? You must have arrested the wrong person!"
Hong Tengshao felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly asked back.
Those influential accounts that compile celebrity gossip and scandals all log in using overseas IP addresses, so how could they possibly be detected?
No matter how he tried to explain, he was still forced into a police car by two officers.
This scene was immediately transmitted back to the studio.
"Hong Tengshao has been arrested?! So quickly?"
"Holy crap, could it be Wang Yueheng who did this? He just said he was going to teach the other party how to write the word 'respect'."
"That can't be right, I'd rather believe the police arrested the wrong person..."
"How could they have arrested the wrong person? Hasn't he done enough bad things?"
"Haha, I wonder what Hong Teng Shao will feel when he runs into the artist he sent to work as a sewing machine in prison."
"So many people have tried to take him down but couldn't, how come he was caught this time?"...
The audience was shocked and discussed the news extensively.
Peng Yiyan, who had just been advising Wang Yueheng not to offend Hong Tengshao, was now somewhat dumbfounded.
In the time it takes to sing a song, a well-known gossip reporter was taken down?
The timing was also so special.
It's hard not to make certain associations.
Amidst everyone's astonishment and uproar.
Only Wang Yueheng, who had just stepped off the stage, showed no surprise on his face.
If an apology is helpful.
What's the point of having laws then?
...
At this point, not only Hong Tengshao, but also police in various places had gathered a large amount of evidence after two days of investigation.
The operation to close in was immediately launched.
In an internet cafe in the suburbs of Yancheng.
After a police officer and an auxiliary police officer showed their identification to the barista, they went directly to the back of a seat inside.
"Stop playing for now, what's your name?"
"Officer, what have I done wrong?"
The young man, whose shoulders were being held down by two police officers, turned his head and asked in a panic.
"What's your name?"
“Lu Zhigang…”
Is your Weibo username "Ignite Loneliness"?
"Yes... Officer, I was just joking when I posted those things, I'll delete them, okay?"
When the police officer asked for his Weibo username, the man finally realized what was going on and hurriedly tried to explain.
Because he was short of money, he had just taken on a job in a QQ group a few days ago.
You can get five yuan simply by posting a message with a verified Weibo account that spreads rumors about Wang Yueheng cheating.
The more information you post that smears Wang Yueheng, the higher the posting reward you will receive.
The thought of easily earning tens of dollars by simply typing on a keyboard is intriguing.
Lu Zhigang, who spent his days in internet cafes, began to use his account to smear Wang Yueheng.
The rumors even extended to the actress who helped him film the music video for "Nocturne".
After all, Wang Yueheng has too many die-hard fans, and criticizing him would easily lead to him being attacked online.
However, Yu Jingshu didn't have as many concerns about spreading rumors.
It was under Lu Zhigang's leadership that this was achieved.
Most of the people in the group, like him, quickly turned their anger towards Yu Jingshu, who was not well-known.
After conducting an online investigation, the police quickly identified him.
"The information you posted online is suspected of insulting and defaming others, and it has been forwarded a huge number of times, causing serious consequences. Now come with us."
"Take your things, get up, and let's go!"
The older police officer said with a stern expression.
"Officer, I was wrong, I was wrong, okay? Please give me a chance..."
"If my parents found out, they'd kill me..."
The young man then realized how pathetic it was that he had earned those few dozen yuan.
He was so frightened that he burst into tears.
He also heard online about the female lead in the "Nocturne" music video committing suicide by jumping into the sea.
But I originally thought it was just an accident and that it would never involve me.
I didn't expect the police to come knocking on my door so quickly!
If I go to jail, my whole life will probably be ruined when I get out...
The same scene is happening in various cities.
There were rumor-mongers who were taken away after their doors were knocked on.
Some students were taken away from the classroom in front of their teachers and classmates.
Some employees were taken away from their workstations...
And with the appearance and arrests of the police in real life.
These rumor-mongers hiding online were all panicked and wept bitterly.
The more aggressively a rumor-monger shouts online, the weaker and more vulnerable they are in real life.
In an instant, hundreds or even thousands of rumor-mongers were arrested by police in various places.
Increasing evidence points to the mastermind behind it all.
