Chapter: 5196

The person on the other end seemed to have given up trying to explain further, saying: "Ma'am, we can't file a case for this issue. So please don't continue with it. This matter has taken up public resources already. If you can find real evidence of her lawbreaking, feel free to provide it to our public security department. As long as there's sufficient proof that she's involved in something wrong, we'll definitely investigate and take action."

"If there's no evidence, then even if someone just makes a phone call saying another person is involved in a crime and asks us to arrest them, we'd have to catch how many people every day to solve this kind of problem? Moreover, if we really file a case and find out the other party is innocent, we won't let the one who falsely reported go scot-free. We'll definitely pursue their procedural responsibilities then."

Ma Ran immediately got nervous upon hearing that there might be legal consequences, and suddenly became anxious.

She had been to prison several times, even in the United States, so she knew what it was like to be locked up. While staying at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, she felt like a god or goddess, but if someone asked her to go back again, she would definitely refuse.

Therefore, she could only scold: "I think you guys are deliberately shielding that guy Wang Baogen! Wait till I find evidence, and I'll definitely report it to your superior authorities and file a complaint against you as well!"

After finishing the call, she hung up immediately.

Xiao Churan knocked on the bathroom door at this time and asked: "Mom, what's wrong?"

Ma Ran shouted from inside: "I'm about to blow my top!"

Xiao Churan signaled for Ye Chen to step aside and then entered the bathroom to help Ma Ran out.

As soon as Ma Ran stepped out of the bathroom, she saw Ye Chen waiting by the door, looking furious. She immediately yelled at him: "Good son-in-law! I've finally figured out what that dog's-day money-red hemp did! That disgusting old hag, who dared to go online and live-stream selling goods!"

She became even more agitated as she spoke: "You know how shameless she is? She put her phone in Xie Changqian and Xie Hai Long's bedroom, making them lie on the bed like zombies, and then had that old hag bow down and help her feed them?"

"She was feeding her kids, and at the same time, she was talking to the camera about how pitiful she was, saying that her husband and son were hit by a car, and the driver fled, leaving her and her elderly mother-in-law with no choice but to go to the market to find unwanted white cabbage leaves to feed them. And then she went on to say something like, 'I married a chicken, I'll follow it wherever it goes; I'll marry a dog, I'll follow it wherever it goes,' no matter how difficult it is, and will never leave them, father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"She's saying that even if her husband and son are hit by a car, she'll still feed them with the white cabbage leaves she found at the market, and that she won't abandon them no matter what. Then she said that she married for love and will follow it wherever it goes, no matter how difficult it is."

Ma Ran's face turned iron-gray and her whole body trembled as she scolded: "What a damn shameless woman! She has over 10,000 people watching her live stream! And those 10,000 people are all crazy about her; they believe everything she says. They'll buy whatever she sells. It's like they've never seen anything before!"

Ye Chen curiously asked: "Mom, how did you find out?"

Ma Ran replied: "I wasn't doing anything in the bathroom, just browsing through short videos on my phone. Then I saw a live stream from our city and recognized her voice. So I went to her live stream to see what was going on, and she was lying to someone about something. I couldn't take it anymore, so I edited a bunch of exposure content and posted it in her live stream. But then my comment didn't appear; they blocked me!"

"So I quickly called the police, but they said that since there's no crime involved, they can't catch her. What kind of ridiculous thing is this?! Just think about how shameless she is! Even if I were to shoot her, it wouldn't be unjustifiable!"

Ma Ran was so angry that she almost died from rage.

And to make things worse, even Ye Cheng had no idea that Qian Hongyan had even set up a persona online.

There are countless people who host live streams, but few know how to create and maintain a persona.

Some people package themselves as successful entrepreneurs, teaching others on the internet how to turn 10,000 yuan into 100 million, and bragging about the number of celebrities and grassroots entrepreneurs they have helped, when in reality they may not even have finished high school, having worked as a street vendor earlier. After that, they got shut down due to lack of hygiene permits, and were forced by the city government to stop selling. Later, short video trends came along, and they suddenly transformed into billionaires;

Others enjoy designing some unique mouthpiece or body language, using repetitive symbols to brainwash their audience.

Furthermore, there are people who like to flaunt their wealth, claiming to be rich second-generation heirs; others like to pretend to be intellectuals, bragging about reading thousands of books. And then there are those who enjoy whining and seeking sympathy from others.

Qian Hongyan is one such person.

She has gained a significant following by selling her sob story and creating the persona of a strong woman, which has earned her sympathy and admiration from some fans. When she started hosting live streams and claiming that she was doing it to earn money for her paralyzed husband and son's medical fees, she began to wield her "hammer" towards her fans. JrNovels.com
