Chapter 920: Chapter 503 I Hate You Guys the Most_2 Chapter 920: Chapter 503 I Hate You Guys the Most_2 “You’re trying to say that you plagiarized videos from overseas creators, so you did not steal from Wang, but rather from overseas users?” Black Tech squinted his eyes and said, “We’re all thieves here, do you think being a second-hand thief makes you superior?”
“That’s not what I ant,” Xiao Liu quickly said. “What I ant was, we were actually remaking the content with the authorization of the original creators, which is why we dared to do it. However, we did not anticipate that the originals were pirated. It was a lapse in our review process.”
“What do you an by ignoring Wang’s requests then?” Black Tech asked.
Xiao Liu gave a bitter smile and then said, “In the UP industry, it’s common to have overlapping creative ideas, and Old Fox was quite well-known by then, so there were often instances of clashing. Wang’s popularity wasn’t great at the ti, and we thought he was just trying to cause trouble. Who would have thought…”
“He beca popular, and then he blew the lid off this issue, right?”
Xiao Liu sighed, vigorously sucking on a lollipop, effectively admitting to the affair.
From Old Fox’s perspective, although his actions were not justified, he was also a victim and couldn’t be blad.
Moreover, at that ti, dostic live broadcasting platforms blindly idolized overseas platforms; who could have imagined that soone would co all this way to plagiarize our UP creators?
Turning exports into dostic sales, huh.
After explaining the cause and the consequence, Xiao Liu let everyone digest the information, and then said, “Conflicts are better resolved than kept simring. My boss thinks this issue needs to be cleared up, as it’s always a hidden problem. Given the high current attention, if Wang doesn’t mind, our boss is willing to publicly apologize again, and perhaps we could collaborate on a program to put this matter to rest. If Wang is still unhappy, we can et privately. We can all go sing karaoke together, bond a little, discuss compensation; how does that sound?”
Xiao Liu’s offer was quite decent; had it been Wang here, he might have agreed.
After all, Old Fox was also a victim, and although his attitude wasn’t great back then, my actions indeed seed like those of a troublemaker, and being rejected was normal.
Besides, since they were willing to publicly apologize, he would also choose to give them a way out.
Unfortunately, his representative now was Xien Waidao.
Xien Waidao thought for a mont and then looked at Fang Cheng, whispering, “Fang Cheng, what do you think?”
“Why are you asking ?” Fang Cheng asked curiously.
“I don’t know, but it just seed more efficient to ask you.”
Looking at the bewildered Xien Waidao, Fang Cheng felt that his rival truly had a knack for befriending him, born with a good fate.
Wang and he were on good terms, and he was curious to see what Xien Waidao could pull off, so he casually calculated and then said, “It’s best not to agree.”
“Then we won’t agree. I feel there’s sothing deep here, so it’s better to figure out the truth first. Black Tech, can you find the original docunts?”
“I can,” Black Tech said with a smile.
As a fanatical fan of the hosting world, soone who could spend millions in support, Black Tech knew nearly everything about every host.
He imdiately opened his database and searched for keywords related to Wang and Old Fox, quickly finding the data from back then.
The hosting industry wasn’t very developed back then, and this incident was rarely ntioned, with not much dia coverage.
However, the overall direction of the incident was much the sa as Xiao Liu described, but Black Tech, based on reports from that ti, identified the overseas UP who had copied Wang’s videos.
By searching through the person’s account, Black Tech found that the account had been canceled years ago.
However, before the account was canceled, the person had left a ssage saying they had improperly taken videos from “Wang Say Gas” and sold the remade copyrights to Old Fox Studio.
To rectify their wrongs, they decided to delete all their videos and leave the video world, goodbye.
Sharing this intelligence, Xien Waidao pondered again.
The new clue corroborated Xiao Liu’s story.
The real culprit was this overseas video account.
Even the most stubborn fans would accept this, at most grumbling about Old Fox’s lack of thorough review—nothing more would be said.
But Xien Waidao still felt sothing was off.
The world was like a makeshift stage, and Xiao Liu’s explanations were overly perfect, completely exonerating Old Fox Studio, making them look like the victims.
Moreover, these victims were willing to apologize and compensate for the losses, which made it all the more perfect.
However, upon recalling Fang Cheng’s judgnt, he felt that this couldn’t be the end.
He couldn’t quite explain why, but he felt that following Fang Cheng’s advice was necessary, so he continued asking, “Brother Liu…”
“I’m not worthy, not worthy!” Xiao Liu imdiately replied, “Just call Xiao Liu.”
“I want to ask, how long have you been at Old Fox Studio?”
“Um… almost a year now, I guess.”
“Then I have a question, why are you so familiar with what happened back then? From your description just now, it seed as though you witnessed it all yourself.”
Xiao Liu stared intently at Xien Waidao, his honest-looking face half bathed in sunlight, the other half shadowed by the academic building.
A few seconds later, he smiled slightly, “As staff, it’s normal to know about so past events. Besides, our boss actually admires Wang quite a lot and has been regretting that incident ever since. He uses it as a negative example in our etings.”
“Your boss sounds like a pretty decent person. So, Xiao Liu, what is your position?”
“Logistics.”
“Logistics and yet you enjoy these kinds of stories?”
“Interest.”
Xien Waidao gave Black Tech a signal, and the latter nodded, stepping forward and speaking, “You have quite a range of interests, then. Do you know about the Lion’s Gate incident from that year?”
“What’s that?”
“Lion’s Gate Incident is more famous, but you don’t know it?”
Xiao Liu wiped the sweat from his brow and laughed, “I really don’t know, maybe it’s because I’m a fan of Wang, so I pay more attention to his past incidents.”
“What was the last ga Wang played?”
“I know that one, the romance ga from Fang Cheng Studio, he plays every ga they release, and I even watched the live stream.”
Black Tech’s expression beca more piercing, “That’s not right; Wang has a girlfriend, so he wouldn’t play ‘Heartbeat,’ nor would he live stream it. Plus, you don’t even know the ga’s na, how could you be sure he was playing that ga?”
“I…”
Sweat increasingly accumulated on Xiao Liu, and his behavior grew more suspicious.
He took out a handkerchief, started wiping his neck, rubbing certain spots repeatedly as if trying to scrub out blood.
Watching Xiao Liu, who didn’t look right, Black Tech nodded then spoke, “I see, I understand now. I almost believed your story, but I don’t anymore.”
“What I said is true,” Xiao Liu hurriedly said, “Everything can be traced.”
“Yes, but there’s still sothing off. I just have one question, are you really Xiao Liu?”
The figure known as “Xiao Liu” suddenly stopped.
He seed as though soone had pressed pause, remaining in the motion of wiping sweat while looking at Black Tech, before continuing a few seconds later.
Slowly drying the sweat on his face and neck, he placed a lollipop in his mouth and broke it with his teeth, his expression turning fierce.
Staring at the three people in front of him, the candy in his mouth crackled as he bit down, only stopping when the candy was gone.
“That’s why I hate you clever guys the most.”
