Chapter 110: Chapter 108: This Ending is Satisfying

"Brother Wen, this is the last time I’ll ever call you ’brother.’ We’re through! From now on, we’re strangers. I’m leaving. Are you going to stop me?"

Director Wen fell silent.

The other person in the room was like a gawking onlooker the entire time, his mouth hanging open.

At this moment, he decided it was best to stay out of it.

"Doctor Wen, I..."

"Patient, I understand you’re in a difficult position. After all, you’re the type who won’t cry until you see the coffin. But don’t you worry. He won’t get far."

[What does Doctor Wen mean by that? Does she have a trump card up her sleeve?]

[Has everyone forgotten what happens on Doctor Wen’s streams? She must have called the police!]

[This type of scam is just awful! Good job, Doctor Wen!]

"A friendly reminder for everyone to download an app called the ’National Anti-Fraud Center’~ All you Fireflies need to download it, okay?~"

[This ad really came out of left field! Wifey, I’m downloading it right now!]

[A Firefly here: We’ve already told everyone in the fan club to download it! This is a great thing for the country and the people!]

[I can’t believe Doctor Wen’s first ad on her stream is for the country! She’s on a whole other level!]

[So, how far off is she from selling merch on stream? Just the other day, that pretty teacher who sang nursery rhymes got popular, and the very next day she was hosting a shopping stream. In this day and age, fast money is just too tempting! Doctor Wen, if you start selling stuff, we won’t blame you! After all, money is the most charming thing of all!]

Mingzai, fuming, didn’t forget to pick up his slightly cracked phone from the floor before heading for the door.

He didn’t look back.

[Why is no one stopping him? Don’t tell me they’re really going to let him go? That Director Wen is so clueless!]

[He’s probably not taking it well right now. The brother he would have risked his life for turned out to be scamming him again and again. He’s probably starting to doubt all brotherhood in the world, right?]

[If he leaves, isn’t he just going to bolt? Doctor Wen exposed him, and hundreds of thousands of people on the stream know about it now. If he goes into hiding, who’s going to find him?]

[Doesn’t Doctor Wen have a plan? Why isn’t she making her move?]

"Don’t worry, everyone. The iron fist of justice will teach him how to behave," Wen Ying said, still in the mood for a playful joke.

No matter how anxious the viewers were, all they could do was watch Mingzai push open the door, while Director Wen stared at his back with a complicated expression.

’But why isn’t he leaving?’

’What’s he doing just standing at the door?’

"Mr. Zheng Haoming? We’ve received a report that you are suspected of fraud. Please come with us to assist in our investigation."

Mingzai staggered, taking several steps back before collapsing onto the floor.

The despair on his face was palpable.

"To my patient’s ’brother’—did you not expect the iron fist of justice to arrive so quickly? Did you think I had already called the police? Well, actually, I didn’t. It’s just that the guy you paid to beat you up got into trouble! So he ratted you out. Justice is everywhere!"

Wen Ying’s voice echoed from the screen into Director Wen’s room.

A uniformed officer walked over, looked toward Wen Ying on the screen with a gentle smile, and said, "Hello, Doctor Wen. We’ve all heard of you. This case was resolved so quickly thanks to your live stream. With this and the accomplice’s confession, he won’t be going anywhere for a long time. Everyone can rest assured. And please, remember to be a law-abiding citizen."

"Oh, right. Everyone, remember to download..."

[THE NATIONAL ANTI-FRAUD CENTER APP]

[THE NATIONAL ANTI-FRAUD CENTER APP]

[THE NATIONAL ANTI-FRAUD CENTER APP]

Before the uniformed officer could even finish his sentence, the chat was already spammed with "THE NATIONAL ANTI-FRAUD CENTER APP" flooding the screen.

The officer grinned from ear to ear. A promotion to hundreds of thousands of people... the effect was incredible!

"Doctor Wen truly is a good doctor! Thank you, Doctor Wen, and everyone on the stream for your cooperation and support! I will definitely report this and try to get Doctor Wen a commendation. We have other business to attend to, so we won’t linger. Goodbye, everyone."

Since Zheng Haoming’s case involved Director Wen, the director also had to go to provide a statement. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

The video call ended, but the viewers were still hungry for more.

[Doctor Wen, is it really all solved just like that? I want to know about the actress from the beginning. You haven’t explained that part yet, have you?]

[With all the drama, I almost forgot too! All I remember are the two scams! So what was the deal with the first issue?]

[Is Doctor Wen going to make us wait for the official police report?]

"Since everyone wants to know, I’ll just tell you. That 35-year-old woman has had a lot of plastic surgery—the kind where you get work done several times from head to toe. You have to admire her determination! Her original goal was to find a rich man to marry. She wouldn’t even mind a huge age gap; a May-December romance would be best. Then when he died, all his assets would be hers. But for some reason, her luck wasn’t great. She never met the right tycoon. A few times, she was just used and tossed aside. And after each time, she would even spend money on hymen restoration surgery."

"This time, that fellow Mingzai, Mr. Zheng, happened to hear about this woman while chatting with a relative. He immediately flew to meet this very, very distant relative and was absolutely stunned by her beauty! She was thirty-five but looked like she was in her early twenties. A new plan began to form in his mind."

"You can probably guess what happened next. He knew about Director Wen’s dream of becoming a famous director, but also that he hadn’t achieved much and was an easily-duped, emotional sucker. So, he lied to Director Wen, claiming this ’relative’ was a film academy student about to graduate, whose looks were guaranteed to go viral. She could promote the show, attract a ton of attention, and make this new variety show a success. Then he started telling Director Wen all about the ’unspoken rules’ of the entertainment industry, influencing him little by little, making him think it was all normal and that he should just get used to it. Otherwise, he’d be an outcast in the industry, ostracized by everyone."

"Director Wen was slowly influenced and naturally started to consider accepting this ’gift.’ After all, with all the work she’d had done, few men could refuse her. But he never expected it was all a setup. He would be ’caught’ in the act and then sued. At that moment, Mingzai would step up to support his ’brother,’ offering to carry on his dream for him. He would surely be moved to tears of gratitude. Director Wen had already done a lot of prep work and put up a significant amount of money to plan this variety show. And all of it would now belong to Mingzai. As for Director Wen, he would be facing an abyss from which there was no return."

"But he never expected the light of justice to shine upon my live stream! As fate would have it, he ran into me, the unpredictable Doctor Wen! This is what they call ’the net of justice is vast, but it lets nothing escape’~"

"Fireflies, you must remember! Obey! The! Law!"
