"Hurry, hurry, hurry, there’s soone scamming live in the chat room!"
Others also wanted to leave comnts warning An Yan not to be fooled, only to find that they couldn’t post anything.
Seeing that An Yan hadn’t responded for a while, the other side spoke again:
"You’re an emotional blogger, why are you so unsympathetic?"
"Ha, I’m really going crazy!"
"You’ve taken so much money from us ordinary people, and you don’t want to cough up a single cent!"
"Can you take a good look at yourself? Have you been paying your taxes on ti all these years? Have you done any charity? Do you understand the principle of ’from the people, for the people’? You’ve earned so much. What’s wrong with giving a little back to society?"
"I’m nearly starving to death, and you won’t even give ten thousand yuan!"
Ha, now they’re resorting to guilt-tripping.
An Yan stared at the continuously rising number of viewers in her livestream and suddenly realized that this was actually an opportunity to gain more followers.
So she continued to stay silent!
After a while, the other party got angry:
"I’ll really report you! Think about it, once your account gets banned, you’ll have to start over with a new one! Creating a new account ans you’ll have to buy new followers! Buying followers costs money too, right?"
Buying followers?
An Yan suddenly understood why this person dared to extort her in the livestream. They thought her followers were all fake.
Wait a minute!
Why weren’t her fans saying anything?
Surely, among so many people, there had to be at least one passionate soul, right?
Upon checking her settings panel, An Yan discovered that she had accidentally muted all her followers.
No wonder other livestreams were full of a constant barrage of comnts, while hers was as clean as if it had just been scrubbed!
What an ironic twist of fate! It had actually made this extortionist think they’d found an easy mark!
After figuring out the reason, An Yan finally said:
"Don’t be rash. I, I, I just started this account and haven’t begun making money yet. Can you give a discount?"
When they heard her stutter, the other party thought they had truly scared her and said firmly:
"No discount. Ten thousand is the minimum. Transfer the money to quickly!"
An Yan fell silent again.
The fans in the livestream who wanted to warn her not to be fooled found they were unable to post their ssages.
They beca anxious.
So called their friends to join the spectacle, while others reported her to the cyber police or inford the platform about the situation...
And just like that, her follower count rose!
Soon, the platform privately ssaged her, cautioning her to be careful not to be scamd.
But An Yan ignored these warnings.
After so back-and-forth bargaining, she finally agreed to send the scamr five thousand yuan!
Netizens: "..."
They wanted to save her, but they were helpless! How infuriating!
Before long, the scamr sent over their account details through a private ssage.
When An Yan saw the na, she burst into laughter.
Lin Yueru!
It had been such a long ti since she’d even thought of this person! To think she’d actually stooped to scamming.
On stream, An Yan began to make a call:
"Axiao, can I borrow five thousand..."
Before she could finish, the other person hung up.
An Yan muttered, as if to herself:
"Maybe her signal was bad! She’s actually my best friend! She didn’t hang up on on purpose!"
As she spoke, her voice grew quieter.
Soon, she dialed another number.
"Ali, I’ve run into a bit of trouble. Could you return the five thousand yuan you borrowed from ..."
Before she could finish, An Yan’s expression changed again, and her eyes seed to redden.
"She probably has a bad signal too, right? Last ti I lent her money, she said she’d pay back within a week, but now it’s been half a year! And she has such a good job; she definitely isn’t short of those five thousand yuan!"
After saying this, she seed afraid the scamr wouldn’t believe her, so she even looked up at the cara and said:
"Don’t worry, I still have friends! I will definitely be able to gather the five thousand yuan!"
The netizens: "..."
Watching soone being deceived right before your eyes, this kind of feeling indeed brought about such mixed feelings!
On the screen, An Yan dialed another number:
"Brother Wang, could you lend five thousand..."
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP...
In the livestream, An Yan made six or seven phone calls in a row, but without exception, she was hung up on every ti.
On the other side of the internet, Lin Yueru watched her beg pitifully for others’ help!
Yes, seeing soone more miserable than her made her feel extrely gratified!
As for the viewers, while watching this scene, they couldn’t help but find their eyes tearing up one after another!
Everyone’s mind drifted to the toughest tis of their own lives.
This strear doesn’t seem too sharp.
A well-known verified influencer who heard the commotion did not hesitate to screenshot this livestream and posted it on their Weibo, captioning it:
"Watching her being scamd without being able to help her. After thinking it over, the only thing I could do was to ask my fans and friends for help. The more people who witness this, the heavier the sentence for the extortionist will be."
As a result, a large number of netizens were drawn over.
Lin Yueru stayed in An Yan’s livestream, confidently waiting for this emotional blogger to transfer her the money.
Ever since she was driven out of the Lin Family by Lin Shiping, she had started to harbor crooked thoughts!
Today was her first attempt!
So far, she felt that everything was still under her control.
The strear’s account was newly registered.
The so-called fans were probably just fake followers she’d bought.
In the livestream, the number of fans kept jumping up, but no one comnted.
The person who sold her these followers must be using these numbers to trick this strear!
She would just wait.
But the money never ca. Instead, the police did:
"Lin Yueru, you are suspected of fraud..."
When Lin Yueru was taken away, An Yan uploaded both her police report and the live footage of Lin Yueru’s arrest to the livestream.
Then she apologized to the viewers:
"Sorry, I’m new to livestreaming and wasn’t familiar with the interface. I accidentally hit the mute all button!"
"The part about borrowing money just now was a thod I discussed with the police to stall the scamr after reporting the cri."
"I wasn’t fooled. Nor did I lose any money. Thank you all for your concern!"
"Lastly, I am an emotional counselor, skilled at solving various emotional problems. If any of you are having trouble with relationship issues and want soone to talk to, you can co to ! It’s completely free!!"
"Thank you all for your support today!"
After saying that, An Yan finally unmuted the chat.
The chat in the livestream instantly exploded with comnts:
[That scared ! I thought the strear was really scamd.]
[We were so naive. The strear is a proper psychological counselor; how could that scamr possibly trick her?]
[But, this strategy was really brilliant. Feels like it should be on a legal education show.]
[I’ve been here from the beginning of the stream. This strear definitely knows her stuff, you know, that kind of feeling where she completely puts herself in your shoes.]
[Right, right, I was here from the start too. That phrase, ’Endure a mont of rage and you grit your teeth; take a step back and you’ll feel even more wronged,’ resonated deeply with .]
[...]
Thanks to Lin Yueru’s stunt, An Yan’s followers surged past one hundred thousand!
The livestream was bustling, and An Yan cherry-picked questions from the viewers and answered a few.
At this mont, soone else requested to connect.
