The reporters and anchors present were all people sent by Ye Zisu. Seeing that the situation was not right, they immediately said to the camera:
"Alright, today's live broadcast will end here."
After speaking, they ignored the protest messages flooding the screen and busied themselves with turning off the cameras. To their surprise, the phones seemed to have frozen!
The live broadcast couldn't be closed!
The touchscreen was unresponsive.
All three people participating in the live broadcast experienced the same situation. Their phones instantly turned into bricks that could only broadcast live.
"Confess and be lenient, resist and be severe. Speak up, tell everyone, who instigated you to come here!" Shen Yao pushed Luo Shi and Cheng Qiang in front of the camera.
The anchors wanted to move the phone cameras away, but Shen Yao's brothers had already anticipated their actions and snatched the phones. Another reporter covered the lens, intending to slip away in the chaos, but was stopped by the onlookers. They forcibly took his phone and continued the live broadcast.
At this moment, the number of viewers in the three live streams had reached over ten million. One could feel the high spirits of the spectators even through the screens.
[Well done!]
[Quick, tell us who hired you to defame my goddess.]
[At a critical turning point, you try to end the broadcast. Did you forget that the anonymous divine doctor is also a hacker overlord?]
[Forced live broadcast 666]
[I am a paid commenter.]
[I'm curious who has the audacity to slander the anonymous divine doctor.]
[I am a paid commenter]
[What's with the comment above? You don't need to repeat that you're a paid commenter.]
[I am a paid commenter]
[So many paid commenters! Who sent them?]
[The hacker overlord has made a move!]
...
The comments from the paid commenters, initially sent to stir up trouble, were already drowned out by the spectators' messages. Seeing the situation going in the wrong direction, they tried to continue their efforts, but were horrified to discover that no matter what they typed, it was always sent as "I am a paid commenter."
Luo Shi and her son were dumbfounded by this turn of events. They had taken Ye Zisu's money and were confident that the Ye family valued their reputation, which emboldened them to shamelessly resort to trickery and cause trouble. They never expected Yu He to be so unyielding, and Old Madam Ye to be so resolute.
Coupled with the threat of imprisonment, Cheng Qiang was scared. He was in his forties and still single. If he were to go to jail, wouldn't he be a bachelor for life?
"It was Ye Zisu, no, she's called Qin Xisu now. She gave us money and told us to come here and make trouble..."
Upon hearing this, Luo Shi immediately grabbed Cheng Qiang, "You stupid boy, why did you say it! If you say it, you won't get the remaining one million, and we won't be able to buy that house..."
"If we don't say it, we'll go to jail."
"We haven't killed or set anything on fire, so why would we go to jail! They're just trying to scare us. You shut up! With the Qin family backing us, are we really afraid of them!"
The mother and son started arguing in front of the camera.
Seeing this, Yu He let out a wry smile and signaled her family members to go inside, leaving the mother and son to continue their live broadcast.
As she turned, she inadvertently noticed a dazzling blue Bugatti Veyron parked near the main gate. A figure was sitting in the driver's seat, operating a laptop.
Yu He's lips curved upwards. She opened WeChat and sent a message to S: [Thanks.]
At the Qin family's residence.
Ye Zisu saw what was happening in the live broadcast and her scalp tingled. She shrieked, "Such useless teammates! Xiaoxiao, quickly tell them to stop the broadcast!!"
"We can't contact them. Let's quickly contact Weibo and the marketing accounts to delete all those articles." Xiaoxiao was also sweating profusely with anxiety.
How could she have known these country bumpkins would be so incompetent? They couldn't even handle the situation properly and started arguing in public. If the Fourth Madam found out, her bonus for the month would be gone. If she had known Ye Zisu was so brainless, she wouldn't have come to serve her.
However, on Weibo, before the posts and news could be deleted, the spectators had already stumbled upon the latest gossip: "Oh, so the previous rumors were all fabricated by the Qin family's third young lady!"
Then, many spectators realized that this Qin family's third young lady was precisely the fake daughter of the Ye family who had caused a stir in Beishi last year.
It turned out that the true daughter of the Ye family, the anonymous divine doctor, had been mistakenly switched by the Qin family years ago. During the Qin family patriarch's power struggle, Qin Sixth Master had murdered Qin Third Master and was imprisoned. The orphans and widows of the Sixth Household also died in an accident not long after.
Twelve years later, the Sixth Household's daughter, who was thought to be dead, had returned. Although she was a fake daughter, she had become the renowned anonymous divine doctor, a hacker overlord, and was also involved with Qin Seventh Master. This was huge news!
As a result, reporters from various media outlets, sensing the traffic from this gossip, rushed to the Qin Corporation headquarters and the Qin family's old residence.
The matter soon reached Qin Yongchao's ears. He had just finished a meeting with Qin Yonghao and his son and learned about the events at the XS Group's annual meeting last night, especially the news that Vulcan and Crow might be Yu He. He remained silent for a long time, and finally, for the sake of the corporation's development, decided to continue seeking cooperation with Yu He. Then, he heard that Ye Zisu had caused such a huge mess.
He made a call to Madam Song, who immediately summoned Ye Zisu to her residence.
"What's going on with the online public opinion and those reporters blocking the entrance?" Madam Song questioned.
"I... I don't know." Ye Zisu lowered her head guiltily.
"Don't know? And they say you instigated it?" Madam Song threw the tablet at her, showing the video of Luo Shi and her son arguing.
Ye Zisu panicked, her eyes welling up with tears, "First Aunt, I really didn't. I don't know why they would slander me..."
"For no reason, would they slander you?" Madam Song interrupted her.
"I..."
"Xiaoxiao has already reported your whereabouts for the past few days to me. Don't try to fool me with your old tricks from the Ye family!" Madam Song said sternly. "This is the Qin family. You have to take responsibility for your mistakes!"
Ye Zisu looked back at Xiaoxiao in shock, utterly unable to believe that the person who claimed to be on the same side as her just fifteen minutes ago had betrayed her so quickly!
"Third Young Miss, please don't blame me. This is simply what we servants should do," Xiaoxiao said righteously.
Ye Zisu was left speechless, with bitterness she couldn't express.
She couldn't question Xiaoxiao in front of Madam Song, so she could only silently swallow the bitter pill and admit her mistake, "I'm sorry..."
Madam Song: "What good is apologizing to me! Miss Yu is Hong'er's benefactor and a talent the corporation plans to cooperate with! You are attacking her like this, do you want to ruin the corporation's new project?!"
Ye Zisu lowered her head, her fists clenched, and she bit her lower lip unwillingly.
Yu He, Yu He, Yu He, why don't you just die!
Clearly, Yu He was the one who stole her position as the Qin family's third young lady back then, so why was she the one who was wrong now!
"I think you've wasted the past few months learning house rules and etiquette. You are confined to the academy for the next three months and are not allowed to go out! After this matter is resolved, you will await further judgment!" Madam Song said. "During this period, you will copy the house rules ten times every day. If you make another mistake next time, it won't just be confinement and study! Take her away!"
Ye Zisu hobbled back to the academy, escorted by a maid. It was located in the farthest corner of the Qin mansion, as desolate as an ancient cold palace.
She was very unwilling and full of hatred. She had recognized the Qin family in order to enjoy prosperity and wealth. Instead, she had hardly enjoyed any prosperity and wealth, and was constantly subjected to strict rules, day after day, house rules, house rules, or she would accidentally fall into someone's trap. This was completely different from how she had initially envisioned returning to the Qin family!
