Chapter 43 - Retribution! I’m Dead Meat!

Chapter 43: Retribution! I’m Dead Meat!

The video released by Qin Ren’s studio was a clarification video. Because of the popularity of Guo Huai’s video, this video had a lot of attention.

“First of all, we have to make it clear that our studio was the one who made the promotional video for the sea of flowers in Qinglin Villa. In addition, is the person who posted that defamatory video a fool? Shouldn’t he investigate the other party’s identity if he were to defame him? The man in the video is actually the chairman of Blue Ocean Corporation in the city which is one of the top corporations in the entire Min Province. Why would he need to be a shill?”

“In addition, we’ve already understood that this matter was caused by a brat who was insensible and made a mistake. His unreasonable parents did not think about education and instead made a scene. Do they really think that it’s reasonable to hold a phone and take a video?”

At the end of the video, there was also a surveillance video of the villa and the current conversation captured by the audio recorder. Qin Ren had specially taken this from Qin Lin.

When this video was released, the same city had already exploded.

When the promotional video of Qinglin Villa hung up on the open-air video of the Eastern Business Square, it was already popular. Yesterday’s incident made Qinglin Villa even more popular. However, last night, it was popular for the wrong reason. Everyone was scolding Qinglin Villa.

No one expected things to turn around overnight?

Qin Ren’s studio was also willing to spend a lot of money and invested in Dou+. Under the hot topic of Guo Huai’s video, their video also became popular. Even Chen Shengfei became a little popular. Many videos introducing Chen Shengfei appeared.

This was naturally because those in the city who knew about Chen Shengfei’s media account were trying to gain popularity.

In a short period of time, things had become another topic that society cared about.

Now, there were too many naughty children making mistakes and their parents being unreasonable. Naturally, it was more dramatic for unreasonable parents to treat a person like Chen Shengfei as a shill. It made this parent seem ignorant and stupid.

Therefore, the people who had seen the video yesterday were stunned.

This reversal made them unable to react.

Many people looked at their abusive comments and silently chose to delete them. Then, their sense of justice erupted again and they commented again, “Little brat…”

After watching the video, Guo Huai hurriedly took out his phone and went online to search for information about Blue Ocean Corporation. When he saw Chen Shengfei’s information, his legs felt weak.

“Damn it, you guys killed me!” Guo Huai cursed angrily.

He did not investigate seriously because he believed in his cousin and cousin-in-law and wanted to use this matter to gain more fans. Who knew that his cousin-in-law would actually cheat him? The shill he talked about actually had such an identity?

He immediately wanted to delete this video, but he suddenly received a system notification. “Your video is suspected of illegal dissemination. It has been banned.”

Immediately after, another official system notification appeared. “Your account is suspected of illegal video transmission. The situation is serious. Your account has been permanently banned.”

“No… No…” Guo Huai was anxious.

For three years, in order to get this self-media account, he had spent a lot of money on materials, filming, and spending money on Dou+. He had only started to earn money this year. Furthermore, he had accepted two advertisements. If his account was gone, he would have to compensate double.

Guo Huai anxiously took out his phone and contacted Douyin’s official management, but he found that he had been blocked.

He was stunned.

The self-media account with more than 200,000 fans was clearly insignificant to Douyin, especially after it was sent a lawyer’s letter by a lawyer team. How could they care about your life?

It was fine if he did not continue to pursue the matter. If he continued to pursue it, he would be dead meat.

“It’s over!” Guo Huai was not stupid. He knew his situation. He called his cousin-in-law in frustration. “Cousin-in-law, didn’t you tell me that it was true? Why is this happening? I treat you like family, but you actually tricked me like this? You’re worse than dogs.”

Lin Chunlan was clearly unhappy to be scolded. “It’s just a video, just delete it. I’m the one suffering, it’s all been filmed. I don’t know how I’ll go to work.”

With that, Lin Chunlan hung up angrily.

“F*ck…” Guo Huai smashed his phone angrily. Could this be resolved by deleting the video?

Wasn’t it just a video?

Not to mention that he was about to vomit blood.

If the other party called the police and accused them of slandering and damaging their reputation, with hundreds of thousands of likes and so many videos to ride on their popularity, they would have to eat three free meals.

He finally knew what it meant by the more you trusted someone, the more they might trap you to death.

In the morning, Qin Lin left 300 catties of ripe okra behind and sent the remaining okra to the villa.

As soon as he arrived at the villa, he saw Gao Yaoyao running out excitedly. “Boss, do you know who that Mr. Chen is? He’s the chairman of a large corporation in the city. The media account that slandered you is in trouble. His video and account were blocked just now.”

She was also very worried about the villa being slandered. She had been paying attention to the development of the matter. Now that she saw Qin Lin, she could not help but report the good news.

Qin Lin got Chen Dabei to unload the things in the car with the security guard and took out his phone to look.

As expected, he could not see the video from yesterday. Even his account had been blocked.

This was within his expectations. Once Mr. Chen’s identity was revealed, even if Mr. Chen did not speak, Douyin would probably not tolerate the person who sent the video. After all, it was Douyin who was in the wrong. They were also afraid that Mr. Chen would find trouble with them.

However, he would not let it go if others criticized him.

If it were another situation and he had no way to retaliate, his villa might be finished. All his efforts during this period of time would have been in vain.

Furthermore, he knew very well that if he met such a tourist this time and did not deal with it, such an incident might occur again.

Therefore, Qin Lin left the villa and went straight to the Youcheng Police Station.

There was a criminal law called libel.

Slandering someone’s reputation, as long as it spread to a certain extent or caused serious mental damage to the victim, would constitute slander. According to the severity, it would be sentenced to less than three years in prison, criminal detention, control, or deprivation of political rights.

However, this criminal law also left room for negotiation. Other than seriously endangering social order and the interests of the country, it was only dealt with when told.

The so-called “only deal with what you tell” referred to the crime of defamation. The court would only accept it if the victim confessed. Otherwise, it meant that they would provide a private settlement.

This also caused the cost of defamation to be too low. Many people on the Internet were unscrupulous. Once such a thing happened, the victims would squeeze tears and admit their mistakes or push the blame on the young and ignorant. Many victims would forget about it.

Some people would even take out money and settle it privately.

When many victims saw that it had already happened, they wanted to get some benefits and accepted it. 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

Of course, there were also people who did not like these two sets because they wanted to teach you a lesson. If the situation was serious, they could only go in and eat three free meals.

Qin Lin wanted to make an example of him now, so he was determined to report the case first.

It was the parent’s fault for not educating the brat. If the parent knew that and still threw a tantrum, he would educate this parent on behalf of society and be a role model for this brat.

Qin Lin entered the police station and registered the case. He also provided evidence. Actually, the video was so big that the police officers in Youcheng Police Station knew about it, so they accepted it easily.

After that, the police station asked Qin Lin to go back first and start investigating the woman’s identity in the video.

On the other side, Guo Huai’s expression turned even uglier when he received the message on his phone.

“Mr. Guo, your account has been blocked and you have failed to fulfill the advertisement contract. I hope you can compensate us as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will sue you…”

He had accepted two advertisements. If he compensated according to the contract, it would not be enough even if he sold his car.

This made him angrier the more he thought about it. In order to help his cousin and cousin-in-law vent their anger, his career had been ruined, but this cousin-in-law actually acted as if nothing had happened.

Guo Huai drove straight to his cousin’s house. When he reached the door, he knocked fiercely.

“Cousin, you’re here?” His cousin said awkwardly. “I know this has affected you, but the videos have been blocked. I’ll treat you to a meal to apologize.”

“Is that something that can be resolved with a meal?” Guo Huai roared angrily. “Do you know that my account has been blocked because I helped you? I spent more than 100,000 yuan on this number. Two advertisements flew away. Now, I have to compensate more than 200,000 yuan. You have to pay this money. Otherwise, I won’t let you off.”

When Lin Chunlan heard this, she walked out unhappily. “Guo Huai, this is your fault. I just showed you the video and complained to you. Don’t think I don’t know that you want to use this video to increase your popularity. Now that something has happened, you’re looking for us to make a scene.”

Guo Huai almost vomited blood when he heard this. He finally knew what kind of person his cousin-in-law was. No wonder she had done such an embarrassing thing in Qinglin Villa.

As they were arguing, they suddenly saw a few police officers going upstairs.

When one of the police officers saw the three of them, he said, “Ms. Lin Chunlan and Mr. Jiang Hang, I hope you can cooperate with us to investigate the defamation of Qinglin Villa. Also, please tell us the owner of the account of Huaiying Media in Youcheng County.”

When she heard this, Lin Chunlan was instantly dumbfounded. She thought it was just a small matter and did not expect the police to come looking for her. She was so frightened that her legs felt weak.
