Volume 1, Chapter 190: The Final Divination: The Journey to Find the Daughter
"What the hell! What does he mean by that? I've had enough! What scamming and swindling? My wife's fortune-telling is dead accurate! I'm mad, I'm mad, I'm starting to get mad!"
"Totally normal. It's just because he hasn't witnessed my wife's true skills yet, that's why he's talking like this."
"I'm just sitting here quietly waiting for him to get slapped in the face!!!"
"Finally, a sensible person speaks up. Ever since I entered this livestream, I felt like it was all scripted. I just didn't dare to speak because there were too many paid trolls in the chat! The streamer is just fooling honest people and old folks out of their money!"
"Hey upstairs, if you have the guts, turn on your location. I'll make you experience what a cyber-mob really feels like!"
"Quick to cyber-bully others at every turn, what else can you people do besides cyber-bullying? As expected, a scammer's livestream is full of uncultured people!"
"Do you need to be cultured with someone uncultured like you? Class and manners are reserved for civilized people!"
"Since you think this is all scripted, why have you been watching for so long? What's wrong? Do you have no friends in real life, are you that bored?"
"If you don't want to watch, get the hell out. Nobody invited you to watch! What kind of person my wife is isn't up for you to slander!"
"..."
People were arguing and cursing back and forth. At first, the spokesperson was able to hold his own against the crowd, but gradually he lost ground and slinked away from the livestream in defeat.
Qin Yu had long since grown indifferent to the skepticism in the livestream.
People have their own mouths to speak with, so there was no need to trap oneself in a vicious cycle of self-justification for such people.
"Have you ever had your fortune told by me? How do you know that what I do here is a scam?"
Qin Yu asked.
The sneer on the man's face grew wider. "Little girl, I'm only giving you friendly advice because you look all cute and innocent. I'll make this clear beforehand—none of the people who swindled Uncle Yanzi over the years have ever come to a good end!"
"No matter what, this man's intentions are good. After all, there really are a lot of scammers in this world! I was also half-skeptical when I first entered the livestream."
"True, after all, it's an old man's retirement savings! Being cautious is definitely a good thing."
"Suddenly thought of myself half a month ago. Was I just as foolish back then?"
"..."
Qin Yu remained silent.
Iron-boy Sun thought she was feeling guilty, so he straightened his back even more. "How much money did you take from Uncle Yanzi? If you know what's good for you, return it right now, and I might choose not to call the police."
He was practically reaching into her pocket to demand money now, and Qin Yu couldn't tolerate this even a little bit.
"Money that has already reached my hands is never returned. If you don't want the reading done, just leave. Not a single penny will be refunded!"
"Tsk! You little girl, why can't you tell good advice from bad? I'm giving you friendly advice for your own good! If this really makes it to the police station, you'll have a criminal record! It'll be hard for you to find a husband in the future!"
"??? What does hard to find a husband mean? I hate the way this guy talks!"
"Uncle, you can put that heart of yours right back in your stomach! Even if my wife stops streaming, she'll still have hordes of men pursuing her! I'm actually dying for her to date someone so we can watch!"
"I think Lord Lu is pretty good, hehe..."
"What about the young master?"
"You people shut your traps! My wife is mine! I won't allow her to be with any other man."
"Exactly, exactly! None of those stinky men are worthy of my wife!"
"My wife is cool and badass, and she can even divine fortunes! I just love my wife to death! /kiss/"
"..."
Qin Yu looked at the comment section, which was gradually going off the rails, feeling a wave of speechlessness in her heart.
Why did she feel like the netizens in her livestream were getting increasingly unhinged?
However, she didn't have time to deal with these crazy folks right now. Her gaze shifted to the man, who was jumping up and down with anxiety. "You're so eager to stop me from reading for Uncle Yanzi. Are you scared?"
A casual, understated remark, yet it made the man lose control of his emotions.
"How the hell are you talking, you scammer? I'm kindly looking out for the old man's pension, and you dare say I'm scared? I, Iron-boy, walk straight and stand upright, what is there for me to be afraid of? You're the one scamming people out of money like this—aren't you afraid of having nightmares at night?"
"For all these years, I don't know how many charlatans I've exposed for Uncle Yanzi! One more won't make a difference. I'm calling the police right now! I'll have the cops drag you away! Let's see how you keep scamming people then!"
Iron-boy's face was flushed red with anger. He pulled out his phone from his pocket and skillfully dialed a number.
"Uh... why do I feel like this Iron-boy's reaction is a bit too intense?"
"It feels like a basic attack baited out both his Flash and ultimate ability."
"Now I'm even more convinced he has a guilty conscience! Could Uncle Yanzi's disappearance be related to this man?"
"Probably not, right? How come it feels like normal concern for an elder to me? Is my judgment that terrible? I can't tell anything at all."
"..."
After providing the livestream information to the person on the other end of the line, Iron-boy hung up the phone with a very arrogant expression.
Pointing at Qin Yu, he wore a wildly defiant look. "Just wait for the police to raid your livestream! I'll just sit here quietly and wait for your channel to get banned!"
With that, Iron-boy crossed his arms, looking like he was settling in to watch a good show.
Qin Yu's expression turned solemn. Just as Iron-boy was flying into a rage earlier, she had caught a glimpse of something on his face.
"Uncle Yanzi's disappearance has something to do with you, doesn't it? Let me guess—are you the mastermind, or an accomplice?"
Qin Yu spoke each word extremely slowly, her eyes locked onto the man's face, observing his subtle micro-expressions.
Perhaps because Qin Yu's gaze was overwhelmingly oppressive, the man's expression grew somewhat unnatural, but he still tried his best to maintain his composure. "Say whatever you want! I'm just waiting right here for your livestream to get banned!"
Qin Yu was about to say something more when—
With a sharp click, her livestream screen went completely black.
Then, right in the center of the screen, a system notification popped up: You have been temporarily suspended from streaming due to suspected violations. Please improve the quality of your broadcasts. The time remaining until your ban is lifted is 71:59:59.
Qin Yu: ???
Good grief, they banned her directly for three days?
Faced with the abruptly banned livestream, the fans in the chat room were equally dumbfounded.
"What's going on? Why is it actually banned? Could the streamer really be a scammer?"
"Definitely not, everyone don't panic! I believe in my wife's character!"
"Your belief is useless, we have to trust Uncle Police! If the police banned the livestream, they must have their reasons."
"..."
In an instant, the netizens in the chat split into a three-way faction.
Some directly turned from fans to haters; some were still sitting on the fence; only a tiny minority continued to persist.
And the incident of "Dianqiu's livestream being banned" was instantly pushed to the hourly trending rankings.
Qin Yu never expected her livestream to make the charts because of this.
