Chapter 467: Chapter 216: Yang Chen Takes Action, Defying Fate_3

The owner looked at the shop he built through hard work, now ruined by a web celebrity’s malicious defamation. His heart felt like it was bleeding.

At this moment, the police arrived.

Both parties quickly explained their version of the truth to the police.

The police were bewildered, unsure who to believe.

The police requested surveillance footage from the restaurant, but there was only monitoring inside; the outside temporary canopy’s tables had no surveillance.

If there was surveillance, the owner wouldn’t be so passive.

The police officer then said, "Both sides have their arguments, but without video evidence, we don’t know who to believe."

The female streamer immediately said, "I have it! I have a recording!"

She found the recording from last night and showed the police the climax of her performance.

After watching, the police officer said, "Owner, you can’t run a business like this."

Owner: "It wasn’t like what the video shows. She was acting."

Streamer: "Officers, just look, the video is here but he still denies it and defames me. I came early to apologize and stopped righteous netizens from targeting them, and this is how I’m treated?"

The owner was driven to a corner, rushed inside, and put a kitchen knife to his neck, saying, "Let’s gamble with our lives today! Do you dare to swear that you’re telling the truth?"

The crowd quickly urged the owner not to act impulsively.

The streamer was frightened, quickly said, "Crazy! I must leave now, otherwise if something happens it’ll be blamed on me. It’s not up to me or you to say what the truth is; everyone has their judgment!"

After speaking, the streamer was about to leave.

At this point, Yang Chen shouted, "Are you trying to leave? The truth hasn’t been cleared up yet, as a party involved, you can’t go!"

Everyone looked at Yang Chen.

"Hey, isn’t this the pretentious app driver from last night, who said bad guys can’t get away with it?"

"It really is him! Has he come back to help the owner?"

"But how can he help?"

...

The owner recognized Yang Chen, smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, what I said to you last night was true, wasn’t it?"

Yang Chen stepped forward and took down the knife, saying, "I went out early to drive, haven’t had breakfast. Make me some breakfast. It’s cold; make it hot, with soup."

Owner: "Ah... Brother, just look at my situation..."

Yang Chen handed his phone to the owner, saying, "Connect this video to the big screen and play it for everyone."

The owner glanced at Yang Chen, immediately became spirited, quickly called staff to project Yang Chen’s phone onto the outdoor big screen, and clicked play.

The video started with the streamer making things difficult for the waiter, then she started acting, orchestrating events to capture the phone, shouting for correction, begging for forgiveness, and later threatening the owner with bad reviews, orchestrating rescue scenarios, all depicted in it.

Everyone looked at the streamer.

The streamer was pale with fright, stammering and said, "No... it’s not like this... This must be maliciously edited video. Release the original footage if you have the guts!"

Yang Chen nodded and played the original video.

The original footage was a bit longer but completely exposed the streamer’s ugly and deceitful face.

Seeing trouble ahead, the streamer quickly turned to flee.

The shop assistant quickly stepped forward to stop her, forming a hand-in-hand circle around her, not letting her leave.

"After creating such a commotion, you think you can just run away?"

"You’ve badly harmed our shop, and you think you can just walk away?"

"You must go to jail, you’re too wicked!"

...

The police officers came and rescued the streamer, reprimanding her for a while.

The streamer tearfully explained, "I didn’t mean to harm them. I’m a streamer, I have to interact with my fans, but the waiter told me to quiet down, which made me uncomfortable. So I wanted revenge against them, but I didn’t really want to harm them. I came this morning to apologize; I truly know my mistake."

This woman is something else, she can articulate her logic both retreating and advancing.

Even when her true face was revealed, yet she came feigning remorse in the morning, so the police can’t do anything to her.

The streamer bowed to the owner, saying, "I’m sorry, I’m willing to compensate for your losses and apologize to eliminate the impact. Last night I was too confused and shouldn’t have treated you that way."

Police: "Since she’s admitted her error, apologized, and willing to face consequences, owner, be magnanimous, resolve the matter privately between both parties."

This is the police officer’s usual handling method; it’s best if both parties can privately settle.

However, since Yang Chen had already made a move, how could he let her gloss over it?

Yang Chen’s aim wasn’t just to help the owner, but to challenge these vile internet celebrities and keyboard warriors, setting an example for others like them!

Yang Chen: "Being exposed and saying sorry to solve things, then why bother with laws? And these brainless fans, not satisfied with being keyboard warriors online, need to flaunt and cause trouble offline. Regardless of the seriousness, if they retreat unscathed, it insults law-abiding citizens and Dragon Country’s laws! How many have died due to these keyboard warriors’ cyberbullying? There are more than one case, right? Owner, you can’t settle with her and these brainless fans, even if they’re only administratively detained for a few days, you must stand firm. If you don’t stand firm today, tomorrow there will be others like you harmed by such vile influencers and keyboard warriors. If such incidents occur again, I trust no one will help you then!"
