Qinhuangdao City, hotel room.
Upon returning to his room, Xiao He began investigating the matter, only to discover that it was more complicated than he had imagined.
In particular, this foreign live streaming software had many IPs linked to it, and he had to trace and analyze them all the way to find the address of the team behind it on the other side of the ocean.
Preliminary analysis suggests that the maintenance and operation team is located in a neighboring country, making cross-border arrests relatively easy. However, the reskinned software and the ultimate beneficiaries are on the other side of the ocean.
However, this had nothing to do with Xiao He, as arresting people was not his responsibility.
After compiling a series of evidence against Rongding Media, Xiao He frowned slightly.
These things can't be directly handed over to the police...
After only a second of hesitation, Xiao He found his tool – Zhou Junhao!
It was already 2 a.m., and Xiao He wasn't sure if Zhou Junhao had rested.
Fortunately, Zhou Junhao quickly replied: Yes, are you alright today? Congratulations on winning the award! It's a pity I couldn't watch the live stream tonight.
XX: It's okay. These are pieces of evidence I recently compiled. Take a look and see which ones you can hand over and which ones you can't.
Zhou Junhao: Damn, didn't you say you didn't want to participate? I remember your project was still profitable?
XX: It's just a side job. We're planning to take that project down early and re-edit it.
Zhou Junhao: That's amazing, thank you so much! I've now obtained some offline evidence, and with the supplements you provided, it'll be even more incredible! But guess who I met this time?
XX: ?
Zhou Junhao: Tong Junhui!
Upon seeing this name, Xiao He thought for a moment that he was seeing things.
ah?
who?
Tong Junhui?
Is it someone he knows?
How did this person suddenly get involved in this case?
Xiao He frowned, subconsciously thinking that the other party had been deceived again.
XX: Why was he there?
Zhou Junhao: It seems that Teacher Tong went there on purpose, but he didn't tell me the details.
The story begins with Tong Junhui's second retirement from the entertainment industry.
The previous events have been resolved, and all those who deserved punishment have been punished. Tong Junhui has suddenly lost his goal and °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° feels that life has lost its value.
At the same time, seeing the disappointment and sadness of his fans in the industry because of his departure again, Tong Junhui also felt that he had let down his fans from the past.
At this time, Rongding Media approached him, wanting him to switch careers and become an internet celebrity.
Although Tong Junhui cannot be considered a disgraced artist, he is certainly no longer suitable to appear on the big screen. However, the threshold for live streaming is relatively low, and there are not as many rules to restrict him. If he can still use his previous popularity to sell goods and transform into a live streaming host, Tong Junhui can make a fortune in the future.
Tong Junhui was originally uninterested. He had his own pride, and even if he couldn't return to the big screen, he didn't want to become an internet celebrity and show his dejected state in front of those people from his past.
Before Tong Junhui could reply, someone got anxious and came over to remind him not to join Rongding Media, to just live his own life, and not to go back.
—The girl who leaked the information was a fan of Tong Junhui, even a big fan. Tong Junhui still remembers the way she looked at him with sparkling eyes when he won the Best Actor award for the first time.
However, the little fan from back then has now become a completely different person, her face disfigured, only her eyes, which still look at him with joy, make him feel inexplicably sad.
It turns out that after all these years, we can't go back to the way things were...
Tong Junhui didn't know what he was thinking either.
Perhaps it was because of the fans who, despite their own difficult circumstances, still came to remind their idol, or perhaps it was to find some fun in his life, that Tong Junhui began to stake out and investigate Rongding Media.
Thanks to his past experiences, Tong Junhui now has connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles. Leveraging his past connections and resources, he successfully infiltrated a branch of Rongding Media and became a virtual anchor. With a voice that "sounds like an old friend," he rose to the top of the anchor rankings in this small company.
During his time at the branch office, he also discovered that Rongding Media had some serious problems!
Tong Junhui has seen a lot of filth, and his sense of smell is exceptionally sharp.
If Zhou Junhao hadn't suddenly appeared and disrupted the rhythm, Tong Junhui was also prepared to cause trouble, directly setting Rongding ablaze and exposing all their misdeeds.
But now... with Zhou Junhao, he has more options and doesn't have to try to blow up a cesspool with his own body.
This is truly something to celebrate.
Xiao He's lips twitched slightly on the other end of the computer screen.
It just goes to show that these are all artists carefully selected by Sister Liu.
He's first-rate at getting things done, and he's also first-rate at causing trouble.
It seems that among the group, Shu Han is the only honest person.
Oh, wait, this honest man also went abroad later and almost never came back.
Xiao He resisted the urge to go next door and call Liu Rulan over to gossip, and continued chatting with Zhou Junhao.
XX: Now that you have all the evidence, both online and offline, hurry up and leave. Don't stay there too long; the police should be coming to your door soon.
There was a lot of evidence of crimes handed over to Zhou Junhao.
There is evidence of Rongding Media's tax evasion, as well as evidence that Rongding Media invested in unscrupulous medical institutions, deliberately lured people to earn money for cosmetic surgery, and even enticed people to take out beauty loans. There is also evidence that Rongding Media used its livestreamer fan groups to contact fans to engage in offline pimping and other illegal fee-charging activities.
There's nothing they can't do, only things you can't imagine.
Xiao He was already exhausted from sorting out the evidence by category.
He felt that since the hotel incident, this company could once again become a classic case in the industry, prompting the police to give them a special lesson covering all possible illegal and criminal activities of today's influencer companies, as well as the various illegal behaviors that the influencers involved might be involved in.
Even Xiao He, a novice in the industry, couldn't help but shake his head at the sheer amount of "abundance" on display.
Moreover, this industry cancer has harmed countless people, both men and women. Even though some internet celebrities have stood up to resist, they have all been suppressed by Rongding Media. As a professional internet celebrity agency, they even employ a large group of online trolls to promote their influence and incite conflict, helping their company's internet celebrities gain popularity and rights. And if these people disobey, they can turn around and use these online trolls to destroy them...
There were so many cases that Xiao He couldn't keep up with them all. But he knew that Li Hanyue had done the same thing recently. She wanted to expose herself, but instead, she was labeled a "plastic surgery white moonlight" by online marketing accounts. They publicized her old and current photos and constantly mocked her, using public opinion to drive her crazy.
Li Hanyue is lucky.
She met Xiao He.
But before Li Hanyue, a young life had already been lost because of this.
The culprit remains arrogant.
Xiao He found it quite ridiculous.
Zhou Junhao: Don't worry, I will keep some for reporting, and hand over the rest to the police.
Xiao He felt relatively at ease knowing that Zhou Junhao had a brother-in-law who was a bureau chief.
Xiao He hesitated for a moment before asking Tong Junhui: "What are Tong Junhui's plans for the future?"
It's hard to imagine that the big star back then would voluntarily go undercover.
But you know what, Tong Junhui's profession is a perfect match for acting as an undercover agent. If he had a stronger heart, he might have gotten really into character.
After all, they've already become one of the top three companies in the industry.
With this talent, you could be amazing even without being an actor!
