Chapter 89: Live-Stream Response

While Ding Rong was still thinking about her own things, Huo Tian and Si Huan had already discussed how to deal with the current commotion on the Internet. Liu Jun listened from the side and didn’t seem to understand, so Si Huan could only explain to him again.

Liu Jun said, “Wait, I still don’t understand why you don’t want the public to know the true ending of the kidnapping. You want everyone to think that you’ve suffered a very serious loss, right? But what’s the benefit of that?”

“Mr. Liu Jun, you don’t need to know too much.” Si Huan avoided the series of questions Liu Jun raised. “I can’t explain too many details to you. You just need to know that we won’t harm your interests. We want to create the impression that we’ve suffered a huge loss in front of the public just to lure out the potential mastermind and find out their true motive.”

Only then did Liu Jun realize that the kidnapping incident yesterday was not simple. There were actually plots and schemes behind it. He could not help but shudder.

“It’s really too scary. I almost became a small cannon fodder from the conspiracy yesterday.”

Si Huan smiled. “I’m sorry to have implicated Mr. Liu Jun, but the outcome is good now. Even though you accidentally got involved in this plot and were even on the verge of death, you’re a good person and thus luck was on your side. Not only did you keep your life, but you also profited from the disaster and gained a large number of fans. I think this will be beneficial for your future career.”

Liu Jun smiled sheepishly. He did not know why he felt guilty either, but in front of someone like Si Huan who had a powerful aura, he felt that he did not have the confidence to do anything. He instinctively listened to the other party’s orders.

“Okay, okay. I’ll do as you say and avoid mentioning the results of the kidnapping case during the live-stream. If there’s anything you need my cooperation for in the future, you can tell me directly.”

Liu Jun went home after receiving an answer. He wanted to appease the anxious fans online.

The morning hadn’t ended but Liu Jun’s number of followers had increased by another almost two million. His current online followers’ count had exceeded seven million, comparable to those who relied on their management companies and had been managing their accounts for a long time.

There was no advance notice for this live-stream, but the moment it started, close to one million fans rushed into the room. The live-stream room hung for a long while before the viewers could finally hear Liu Jun finish his sentence smoothly.

Liu Jun didn’t specially choose a background for the live-stream. He did the live-stream in his living room.

In the background was a messy but very warm living scene. Liu Jun was shocked by the huge number of viewers and was stunned for a long while before he remembered what he was about to say.

“H-hello, everyone. Thank you for coming to watch my live-stream…”

Liu Jun had just said one line when he saw viewers giving him many gifts. They did this just to ask about what had happened yesterday using the special effects from the gifting.

Liu Jun had never seen such a scene before and was so excited that his face turned red. “Thank you everyone for your gifts and your concern. Just like what everyone has seen, I’m fine and didn’t suffer any serious injuries.”

The netizens could see a few bruises on Liu Jun’s face. Liu Jun also explained the origin of these bruises. “These were caused by the kidnappers beating me up after they discovered me. There’s no helping it. They’re a group of outlaws who dare to stab people with blades. After I was discovered, I had to suffer a little…”

After chatting with the netizens who sent bullet comments, Liu Juncai then told them what had happened in all seriousness.

“This kidnapping incident is a real event. The victims of the kidnapping were the auntie, who is my neighbor, as well as her daughter. As for me, I’m just a passerby who was implicated because of my curiosity.”

Immediately, there were bullet comments that mercilessly revealed his true nature. “What curiosity? You’re just doing this for site traffic!”

Liu Jun smiled bitterly and did not refute this statement. “You guys are right. When I heard from my mother that there might have been a kidnapping happening next door, my first reaction was that this matter was sufficiently novel. As long as I could film it, I would definitely be able to attract everyone’s attention and attract a wave of site traffic. I don’t know what I was thinking back then, not taking the danger seriously at all…”

His attitude was so honest that the netizens could not blame him anymore. The content of the comments also became much more harmonious.

Liu Jun continued, “For the first half of the kidnapping, I believe that everyone has understood some things from the live-stream yesterday. Then I’ll tell you what happened after the live-stream was disconnected…”

He raised his hands and showed them to the audience in the live-stream, saying with a pale face, “When I think back on that scene now, my hands are still trembling non-stop. I suspect that it will become a psychological trauma in my life…”

“Everyone has been guessing that there were casualties. I can prove that this is true. Moreover, it happened when the kidnapper walked towards me with a machete in hand. At that time, I thought that I was going to die and fainted from shock. When I woke up again, I realized that half of my body was splashed with blood…”
