Zhang Zian had to admit that those words that had Salem said were not completely original. This segment of the video was also not the first to be taken. Salem’s thinking was free and came across as slightly random. If one allowed him to speak freely, in just a few sentences, the topic would shift to how much he admired Sihwa.
Although this video had not been edited, it took multiple attempts before a successful shot could be called. Zhang Zian had guided Salem in what to say in the first paragraph and what should be said in the second paragraph—this should not be constituted as cheating. It was like how lawyers would try to appeal to the sympathy of the jury. While the court was not truly fair, it was already the fairest place in the world.
Zhang Zian was outside the bathroom and used his own mobile phone to enter the live chat room. As a third-party onlooker, he observed the audience’s reaction. Unsurprisingly, Salem tugged at the audience’s heartstrings. With his narration, he made people tip towards Sihwa’s side. As for Sihwa’s original loyal fans, they were already in a blissful place, hearing him speak beautifully about her.
After the video was over, there still was one of Salem angrily rebutting unpleasant remarks online.
As for this video, now, whoever made claims that the video was fake would definitely be seen as unreasonable and as deliberately sowing confusion. This would undoubtedly lead to wide condemnation.
The skeptics disappeared immediately and didn’t dare show up.
Under normal circumstances, the saga could have ended after this. As long as Sihwa grievously wiped a few tears and played her fans’ feelings to her advantage, she could get a large number of gifts in exchange. Yet she did not intend to end it. She would never be able to swallow the pain caused by the accusers. For Sihwa, whoever provoked her must face retaliation!
She re-aligned the camera to her and closed the video playback window. The screen now showed the Word document that had been prepared earlier, but it was visible only to her. The audience in the live broadcast could not see it. It was like a prompter that allowed her to say what she wanted to say, as it would have been impossible for her to memorize all the lines in such a short period of time.
All of you should know that I am a magnanimous person and not calculating, but some of my competitors on this platform seem to think I am an easy target to bully. To all these people, I want to let you know that you are gravely mistaken!
Sihwa angrily announced to her audience.
Many of the clueless, upon learning the truth of the rescue incident, had planned to leave the live broadcast room. When they heard what Sihwa had just said, they felt that a lot of drama was looming, and they hurriedly decided to stay. The thought of more juicy gossip made them a highly engaged audience.
Sihwa glanced at the Word document and said,
[Gluttonous Something Fish], as a gaming anchor, you reach a different audience than I do. Why did you ask fans to discredit me?
When the words came out, the audience in the live broadcast was stunned. Who in their right mind would name themselves as such?
Zhang Zian wanted to get back at the perpetrators and let Sihwa do the same. He wanted to point out people who were manipulating things behind the scenes, but he did not want Sihwa to get into any more troublesome disputes. If he named the person, he or she would be indignant at these charges. The person may ask fans to help with a rebuttal or, worse still, apply for a lawyer to sue Sihwa. Although on that matter, he was not afraid. As long as he had Pi, he would be able to find incriminating evidence.
However, Sihwa was, after all, a mermaid. If there was a lawsuit, she could not go to court. For simply venting and pointing out the perpetrator, it was not worth having to deal with all the possible aftereffects.
So he thought of an eclectic strategy—replace a word in the other ID with X, letting Sihwa read
X
as
something.
For example, she would read [Gluttonous X Fish] as [Gluttonous Something Fish]. In this way, they would avoid trouble, but the audience that hung out often on the live platform would know who she was referring to.
Sihwa did not wait for the audience to react. She read out the messages that [Gluttonous X Fish] used to incite fans, including [Gluttonous X Fish]’s personal QQ and WeChat chats with diehard fans.
The live room exploded with activity.
[Gluttonous X fish]? Who is this? Why haven’t I heard of this?
I know! I know! [Gluttonous Blue Fish]! I have seen her live broadcast before! Later I thought she was too beautiful and stopped following her! I didn’t expect her to do this kind of thing.
How does Sihwa know so much detail? Even [Gluttonous Blue Fish]’s personal QQ and WeChat ID?
She did not broadcast live the last two days, but she was certainly not idle. She was probably investigating the other party’s information!
Hey! Who could have known that this silly, cute sweetie had these sorts of skills?
She may not have the skills, but did she not have such a ‘friend’? Think about the earlier video of that Bedouin.
Wow! Human search?
She is simply all-knowing!
[Gluttonous Blue Fish], room number 14752219, is now broadcasting live! hurry and watch!
A lot of people suddenly left Sihwa’s room and headed to room number 14752219. Zhang Zian joined the exodus as well.
[Gluttonous Blue Fish] was a female gaming anchor and rather famous on the platform. She had a face that was a beauty standard of popular web anchors. At least based on the quality of her looks in the live room, one would know immediately that she was a ravishing beauty.
She had entered the game, but the game had yet to begin, and both were choosing avatars. She took the time to rant to her fans, letting them know she was not too pleased with the small number of viewers.
Suddenly, there was a huge influx of viewers. It stunned her for a few moments before she got secretly pleased, thinking that perhaps there was a major anchor who’d recommended her to the audience, or that the live broadcast platform had decided to promote her actively and boost her viewership.
Yeah! New friends, you are…
she greeted them with her false voice. Halfway through her sentence, she saw the strings of comments on the feed.
Shameless! You don’t have the ability, so you went to discredit others!
Why don’t you lower the beauty filter on your face? The powder is so thick!
Disgusting thing! We should just throw you overseas!
The outpouring of accusations and insults stunned her.
You…who sent you all? I warn you, get out of my room, or I will get the administrator to kick you all out!
She quit the game, screaming.
The Sihwa Army came to watch!
The people of the capital came to watch!
You still have the cheek to ask? Why don’t you tell them that you sent someone to smear Sihwa?
When she saw these comments, her face changed dramatically. Her heart got heavy, but she did not want to admit to anything. She replied defiantly,
Who is Sihwa? I have never heard of this person. Go back to where you came from! If not… Platform administrator, get down to it and do your work!
The fact was, the management was already kicking people out of the live room. However, every time a person was removed, hundreds more poured into the room. It was impossible to kick everyone out!
