Free Web NovelChapter 309: Chapter 307: Official Denial
[Where did this troll up here come from? Using Xu Jiali’s name, too? Don’t you know Xu Jiali and our Doctor Wen are really good friends?]
[LMAO! Using Xu Jiali’s nickname to troll Doctor Wen, are you actually stupid or just pretending?]
Seeing the chat’s mockery and ridicule directed at her, Xu Jiali didn’t have time to be angry—she just felt terrified.
She clicked on Sister Wen Ying’s Shark platform account. She had thought everyone just needed to look at the account name clearly, but it really was Sister Wen Ying’s account!
But this woman was nothing like Sister Wen Ying!
Besides having the exact same face, her behavior, her mannerisms, the way she spoke—none of it was the same!
[I also think something’s off about Doctor Wen today. Are you really Xu Jiali?]
[Xu Jiali Main Account: I really am Xu Jiali. If you don’t believe me, I can join a call to prove it!]
[Pfft-hahaha! Trolls are trying this hard nowadays? You want to join a call? You must be crazy-desperate for fame!]
[Xu Jiali Main Account: Have none of you seriously noticed something strange? Those two people who joined the call didn’t pay at all! Would Doctor Wen ever treat someone who hasn’t paid? Are you all dense or just plain stupid?]
[Trolling just because they didn’t pay? You’re so cold-blooded. Those two people on the call were on the verge of death, and you’re still hung up on money? A scammer is a scammer, absolutely no humanity!]
Xu Jiali couldn’t stop herself from wanting to wage a three-hundred-round war with these people. She was about to die from anger!
"Song Jiayan, why don’t these people believe me! Sister Wen Ying would never act like this!"
Song Jiayan took out his phone, logged into Shark, and changed his nickname to [Song Jiayan].
[Song Jiayan: I’m with Xu Jiali right now. I can confirm, this person is really not like Sister Wen Ying.]
At that moment, some people who had been watching the live stream with furrowed brows slammed their hands on their desks!
"I agree, something about this is off! News about the Mist has never been allowed to spread. No matter how much backing this Doctor Wen has, she shouldn’t be doing this! I think what that Xu Jiali girl is saying is true—this Wen Ying is a fake!"
"But do we have any proof?"
"Contact the people at Shark and find out what’s going on! We can’t afford to offend Doctor Wen, but we can’t let a fraudster get away, either!"
"Sir, it seems this Doctor Wen hasn’t accepted any money. Not since the stream started."
"Hasn’t accepted money! Then she is definitely not Doctor Wen! Doctor Wen never helps people for free! Report this up the chain immediately! And contact Shark for a full investigation."
In less than a minute, the order came down.
Back in the live stream chat room,
[Song Jiayan? Are you really Song Jiayan? Not only did Xu Jiali show up, but now Song Jiayan too? You trolls really will stop at nothing to smear Doctor Wen! But why aren’t your accounts verified?]
It was true; Xu Jiali and Song Jiayan’s accounts weren’t verified.
After all, before joining this show, they were basically nobodies. Who would have thought to get their accounts verified, only to be called out on it now?
[Okay, let me break it down: Doctor Wen would never call the people on her streams ’friends,’ she would never work for free, and she definitely wouldn’t admit to things like ’blocking a space,’ right? If Doctor Wen could block a space from a whole country away, would she even need to be here doing live-streamed fortunes? If you don’t believe I’m Xu Jiali, I can post on Weibo! If you don’t believe he’s Song Jiayan, he can post on Weibo too!]
Xu Jiali was furious. ’Are these people blind?’
[I believe you’re Xu Jiali! I’ve felt something was wrong ever since Doctor Wen’s stream started, but every time I said something, no one responded! There are several other Fireflies who feel the same way, but we all just get called trolls! WAHHHH! Miss Xu, please post on Weibo quickly! Expose this scammer’s true face!]
The Wen Ying in the video looked at the chat, a little angry. "I don’t know who I’ve offended to have people constantly trying to cause trouble for me. To you two ’friends’ out there, it doesn’t matter if you’re the real deal or not. Even if you were, you’d just be trying to smear my name, wouldn’t you? The viewers are right. I didn’t charge a fee because lives were at stake, but I never thought that would become a point of attack for you. How ridiculous!
"Do you know why I’m live streaming? Because the Mist is about to devour us! Why aren’t the authorities saying anything? Because they’re afraid to speak up, afraid of causing a panic! But I, Wen Ying, must let everyone know the horrors of the Mist! It has already devoured tens of thousands of people! The internet users who’ve jumped the firewall have probably seen it already. Do the rest of you want to remain in the dark?"
[Xu Jiali: See? See? She’s finally showing her true colors. But why did you steal Sister Wen Ying’s account!]
[Jiang City Police: Doctor Wen’s account has been hacked. We have already contacted the officials at Shark. We urge all internet users not to be deceived.]
[Oh my god, the police are here to debunk the rumors?]
[I’ve seen this account, it’s really the police. This hacker is done for!]
Just as the Wen Ying in the video was about to speak, she suddenly found her account had been muted.]
And then, the live stream screen went completely black!
[Where are all the people who were flaming Xu Jiali and Song Jiayan earlier? Why don’t you come out and pop off some more? Keep flaming, I dare you!]
[That damn scammer, you’ll be the death of me! I almost thought Doctor Wen had a falling out with Xu Jiali and Song Jiayan! They’re my three favorite people on the show!]
[Poor Xu Jiali and Song Jiayan, they spoke up for Doctor Wen and ended up getting flamed so badly!]
[What the hell is going on? Someone actually dared to hack Doctor Wen’s account? That’s like yanking on a tiger’s whiskers!]
[Where did Doctor Wen go? Why hasn’t she appeared when something this big has happened?]
[Yeah, if Doctor Wen were still around, how could this scammer have possibly succeeded in hacking her account!]
Even though the live stream was over, the number of people still in the chat room was frighteningly high!
This, perhaps, was the Doctor Wen effect.
[Xu Jiali and Song Jiayan are always with Doctor Wen. Is it possible they don’t know anything either?]
When Xu Jiali and Song Jiayan saw the police clarification, they breathed a sigh of relief.
But they didn’t understand who on earth had stolen Sister Wen Ying’s account, or what their purpose was.
Seeing the netizens ask where Doctor Wen had gone, both Song Jiayan and Xu Jiali remained silent.
「Meanwhile, in a certain government conference room.」
"Sir, we’ve traced it! The IP address is in Eagle Beak Country!"
"These people have gone too far! To actually attack our firewall and attempt to incite chaos!"
"The IP that hacked Doctor Wen’s account is also in Eagle Beak Country!"
"They’re clearly trying to use Doctor Wen’s account to spread information about the Mist within our country and cause mass panic! Sir, only a few of us know about this. Are we going to keep it under wraps?"
In truth, everyone was at a loss, unsure of what to do.
The man addressed as "Sir" stood with his back to the others, gazing out the window.
"This is a major issue. We must follow orders."
"But the Mist is about to arrive!"
"Didn’t someone also say the real Doctor Wen might have entered the Mist? If we keep hiding this and a disaster happens, wouldn’t it be better to let everyone prepare in advance?"
