Chapter 176: Get Lost, Or You Will Die
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Li Yidao’s entry was actually a coincidence.
It was funny how fate plays its hand at times.
Just half an hour ago, Li Yidao, who was alone in the shop, finally found his conscience and started a live stream.
That was because Xiaowen became bolder after she called Li Yidao last time and found he had a rather mild personality
She dared to make an unconventional request. The pressures of the online platform had become too much for her to bear.
She hoped that he could start a live stream to appease the netizens.
After all, there had been little news about Brother Dao recently.
Li Yidao didn’t refuse.
After all, he had nothing else to occupy his time.
And so, Brother Dao ventured into the world of live streaming.
The beginning was rather uneventful, following the usual script.
Slides transitioned every three seconds, and the yoga instructor’s tutorial entertained the viewers for half an hour.
But then, responding to the insistent pleas of his audience, Brother Dao initiated what they called the “Grim Reaper Patrol” for that day.
Yes, the moment Brother Dao started reviewing videos, his dedicated fans affectionately dubbed him the Grim Reaper.
Behind this ominous title stood the unwavering Grim Reaper Legion, loyal guardians of the Grim Reaper himself.
Whenever Brother Dao followed someone, they instinctively followed the same account, all in a concerted effort to amplify his reach.
The motive behind this synchronized action was a well-kept secret, known only to those in the know. Brother Dao didn’t see fit to interfere with their organized pursuit.
However, this particular patrol turned out to be different from the usual ones, as if the Grim Reaper had left his scythe behind.
Astonishingly, not a single person was followed by Brother Dao.
It was only moments ago that Li Yidao stepped into Wang Ergou’s live stream room, and he couldn’t help but furrow his brows in confusion.
What were Sister Zhou and Li Xinting doing here in this live stream hosted by someone called Wang Ergou? It was clear that they weren’t in their usual surroundings.
Li Yidao’s live stream exploded with chatter. His fans were very familiar with Sister Zhou and Beauty.
“Isn’t that Sister Zhou and Beauty? What are they doing here?”
“Wang Ergou, right? I think I’ve seen this streamer before, a bit of a rogue, it seems.”
“Wait, why does it look like Wang Ergou is having a clash with Sister Zhou and Beauty?”
“Whoa, is Wang Ergou really about to confront Sister Zhou? This is trouble!” “What’s the whole story? Can someone bring in a bigshot to explain?”
“I know! Earlier, Sister Zhou and Beauty… and now this!”
One fan who had recently followed Wang Ergou was quite knowledgeable about the unfolding drama. They swiftly summarized the situation in a long barrage of time-synced comments.
Once the fans who were informed about the whole backstory understood, they couldn’t contain their outrage.
“Unbelievable! This Wang Ergou is asking for it! To lay hands on Sister Zhou?”
“Seriously! Does he think Sister Zhou has no backing? Besides her own fans, our Grim Reaper Legion can’t just stand idly by!”
“Exactly! When did our women, under Brother Dao’s protection, become pawns for this Wang Ergou to manipulate?”
“Well, it seems like Sister Zhou threw the first punch, right?”
“D*mn! What’s wrong with that? Hitting this scumbag is doing him a favor!
Sister Zhou acted first, and threw the punches! So what?”
“No way! Daring to mess with our Sister Zhou? Is he one of those forced-marriage trash? Buying someone for 188,800? Teach him a lesson! Expose him! Let’s go!
“Huh… What’s the hurry? I’ve already reported to the police. Haven’t you all forgotten what our friend mentioned earlier? Wang Ergou admitted on the live stream that all the money he gave as a dowry was counterfeit! Got it?”
“Whoa, amazing! So dishonest? Understood! I’m reporting too!”
“Count me in!”
“Let’s go exposed him!”
At one point, Brother Dao’s live stream audience, numbering in the millions, flooded into Wang Ergou’s live stream room.
What’s more, these fans were members of various groups and communities.
For instance, there were Brother Dao and Sister Zhou’s mutual support group, Sister Zhou and Brother Dao’s devoted fan club, and many other similar groups.
The exact number of such groups was difficult to ascertain.
In no time, not only Li Yidao’s fans but also Sister Zhou’s followers joined Wang Ergou’s live stream.
Fans of Beauty also contributed to this formidable force.
Fortunately, every time Li Yidao went live, the platform had multiple backup servers.
Under these circumstances, Wang Ergou’s live stream room briefly experienced a slide show interruption, but it quickly returned to normal.
Wang Ergou was still unaware of the commotion his casual remarks had caused.
In reality, even if Li Yidao’s fans hadn’t reported the incident, Wang Ergou couldn’t escape the consequences.
Each time Brother Dao went live, it wasn’t just the platform that prepared for it.
The law enforcement system also had personnel tracking his activities.
They maintained 24-hour surveillance.
Let along Brother Dao’s live stream, even when he was simply scrolling through short videos on his phone, each video he watched was under scrutiny by relevant authorities. This was an unavoidable fact.
After all, the level of attention Brother Dao commanded was quite staggering.
Of course, all current followings were made with Li Yidao’s knowledge.
Furthermore, if Li Yidao didn’t want someone to follow him, he could manually block them.
For instance, if Li Yidao wished to enjoy a quiet movie night, he certainly didn’t want to feel like he was in a small theater.
It was better to watch alone. Otherwise, it could be a bit awkward, wouldn’t it?
While Wang Ergou was arrogantly laughing, Yang Qingyue, who had initially held a knife to her own neck with a calm expression, experienced a change in her demeanor.
Even when Sister Zhou and the others had faced threats or when she had held a knife to her own throat, or when confronted with Li Xinting’s angry outbursts, her facial expression had remained constant.
Her words continued to be accompanied by a smile.
But now, everything was different. Her gaze gradually turned icy.
It was the kind of icy stare that could confront death without hesitation.
She maintained a calm yet chilling gaze on Wang Ergou.
One step…
Two steps…
Three steps…
She slowly closed the distance to Wang Ergou, coming within a fist’s reach of him. At this point, they could feel each other’s breath.
She halted her steps at this distance, fixing her unwavering gaze directly upon Wang Ergou, her demeanor both calm and chilling.
The atmosphere in the entire room suddenly grew exceptionally quiet. Even the fans in the live stream room were infected by this silence. Everyone remained silent.
One minute passed…
Two minutes…
Three minutes…
Yang Qingyue maintained her posture, her expression, and her silence.
Finally, Wang Ergou couldn’t take it anymore.
“F*ck! Are you crazy? Why are you looking at me with that expression?” he exclaimed.
“You know what those two old guys are like, don’t you? What’s wrong with me deceiving them?” he continued.
“In the future, you’re marrying me and living with me. The money I saved by deceiving them will be spent on us, won’t it?”
“Are you stupid?”
Hearing Wang Ergou’s frustrated shouting, the room fell into silence once again.
Seriously, was there anyone in the world as shameless as him?
Sister Zhou, who had been somewhat fearful earlier, was once again filled with anger. Li Xinting was about to rush forward to reprimand him.
At this moment, a scornful laugh rang out.
“Haha!”
Both Li Xinting and Sister Zhou instinctively turned to see who was laughing with disdain. It wasn’t anyone else. It was Yang Qingyue.
At this point, Yang Qingyue’s eyes were filled with contempt, and her expression carried a mocking tone.
Then, she slowly sat down in a nearby chair.
Taking a sip of water and without even looking up, she said to Wang Ergou,
“Get out of here, or you won’t make it back to the village alive..”
