Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Just as the girl’s family looked dejected and their eyes gradually lost their l.u.s.ter, a notification sounded from her phone. However, the girl did not dare to turn on her phone. She was afraid of seeing scoldings one after another, but if she did not turn on her phone to take a look, she would feel terrible… In the end, she closed her eyes and opened her phone. She did not have any hope in her heart. However, she realized that there were many private messages on her social media platform, all of them apologizing.
“What’s going on?” The girl was stunned. Her parents hurriedly came over to take a look. Only then did the family realize that the public opinion had changed at some point! They quickly investigated the reason and realized that the local police had issued a notice. They said that the video host, Shawn, had pretended to be a girl who had fallen into the water and made negative comments that harmed public order. He was sentenced to 15 days of detention. The girl’s real account had also been found. At this moment, under her social media post, there were voices of apology.
The girl cried tears of joy and rekindled hope for this world!
Shawn, on the other hand, was scolded like crazy. His account was also banned. Netizens who had nowhere to vent found Shawn’s parents’ numbers. It could be said that the heavens had reincarnation. Who could the heavens spare? This time, it was Shawn’s parents who were exposed online!
Shawn’s parents were mocked by their neighbors and relatives every day. The two of them were so angry that they looked for Shawn everywhere.
“l might as well have strangled him when he was born!” Shawn’s father scolded angrily.
Shawn’s mother sighed. “Let him come back quickly.”
Shawn’s father was even angrier. “How? Call him back? He won’t listen unless you beat him into a fool!”
Shawn’s mother sobbed. “l told him not to go out back then, but he didn’t listen. I don’t know what he did for eight years, but I didn’t get a single cent back. I might as well give birth to a fool! At least then he could work hard at home so that he won’t go out and cause trouble!”
Shawn’s parents understood that their son, Shawn, was too cunning. He had never had good intentions since he was young. He did not go to school well or work hard. He always thought that he would make a fortune one day, causing the two of them to be afraid every day. They were afraid that Shawn would cause trouble outside and implicate the family. But no matter what, Shawn was their son. They could not abandon him…
At this moment, Shawn, who was locked up in prison, did not know about these things. Even if he was locked up, he did not think much of it. Wasn’t it just 15 days? After 15 days, he would be a good man again! He had also figured out the pattern of online traffic. There were hot topics every day. As long as he grabbed a hot topic and sang the opposite tune, he could easily become popular. In this environment, smart people would directly move other people’s videos to save time and monev.
Shawn thought about this and the light in his eyes grew brighter. He leaned against the iron window and chuckled.
At this moment, there was a clang at the door. Alex and Amelia stood in front of the iron door. Shawn seemed to have been splashed with cold water and instantly woke up.
Shawn stammered, “What… what do you want now?”
Alex sneered. “Don’t be afraid. I’m just looking for you to have a friendly exchange.”
Shawn: “…” Another friendly exchange! He cried and begged, “Brother, why don’t you be more ruthless to me?” He couldn’t stand his friendly exchange! Amelia finally saw this terrifying uncle who was livestreaming cutting off his fingers. She subconsciously grabbed the corner of Elmer’s shirt and asked softly, “Master, is there a ghost on this uncle’s head?” She could not see a ghost, but the strange thing was that this uncle had a murderous aura on him.
How could there be a murderous aura on a normal living person?
Elmer stared at Shawn and asked, “Mia, do you know what demons and monsters are?”
Amelia shook her head.
Elmer: “The meaning of demons and monsters was originally to describe literal demons and monsters. Later, it was used to describe all kinds of bad people. These bad people are sometimes even more terrifying than demons and monsters. They’re clearly living people, but they’re no different from demons.’
Amelia was in a daze as she listened. She seemed to understand. “So Master means that this uncle is a living ghost?”
Elmer was speechless. He had said so much, but it wasn’t as accurate as Amelia’s one sentence?
Amelia glanced at Elmer in disdain. “A living ghost is a living ghost. Master, you said so many useless things. It’s not sincere at all..”
