"Notify all merchants who have advertising endorsements or live-streaming sales collaborations with Yun Jia! Immediately terminate the cooperation! Issue a statement to sever all ties! Tell them that if they want their products to appear on Douyin in the future, they must do as I say immediately! Otherwise, they will bear the consequences!"

"Understood! I'll contact all our partners right away!"

"Ministry of Justice!"

Before Xia Minmin could call his name, the general counsel immediately stood up, his voice steady and powerful.

"President Xia! Our department will immediately draft a lawyer's letter to formally sue Yun Jia and her studio on charges of 'defamation,' 'infringement of reputation rights,' and 'incitement to cyber violence'! At the same time, we will contact the police to secure relevant evidence and pursue their criminal liability! We guarantee that the lawyer's letter will be delivered to Yun Jia herself within one hour!"

Seeing the directors' decisive statements, Xia Minmin's cold and tense expression finally softened slightly.

She took a deep breath and said in a low voice.

"Very good! Remember, Mr. Qin Luo is our boss, and more importantly, the soul of Douyin! His reputation must not be tarnished! Let's take action! I want to see results!"

The only sounds in the meeting room instantly became the dragging of chairs and hurried footsteps.

A swift and decisive crackdown targeting top internet celebrity Yun Jia, originating from the highest levels of the platform, has officially begun!
On the other side of the storm, in Yun Jia's live broadcast room, the atmosphere was one of "peace" and "victory".

The number of online users has exceeded 500,000! The gift effects have been almost non-stop! Yun Jia had just finished a phone call and was now facing the camera, her face beaming with undisguised pride and excitement.

"Family members! I have some great news to share!"

Her voice was sweet, tinged with excitement.

"Just now, the 'Focus Interview' program team from Mindu TV contacted me! They took note of what happened this morning and felt it was very valuable for social discussion! They invited me to the TV station at 7 PM tonight for a live interview! And the interview will be broadcast live on our Douyin platform!"

The moment these words were spoken, the live stream chat exploded!
Wow! Jiajia is amazing! She's even on TV!

[Focus Interview? That's an official and authoritative program!]

Jiajia is trying to stand up for us!

That scoundrel must be exposed! Let the whole nation see his true colors!

[Support Jiajia! I'll definitely be watching her live stream tonight!]

[Jiajia is awesome! The Yun family army is awesome!]

Seeing the screen full of praise and support, Yun Jia felt even more elated.

In her view, the television station's invitation was undoubtedly an official endorsement of her "victim" status! It was an acknowledgment of her influence and "righteousness"!
Her reputation will take another leap forward with this opportunity!

Thank you for your support, everyone!

Yun Jia smiled sweetly, but then a hint of "worry" appeared on her face.

“However… Qin Luo hasn’t shown up yet? Nor has he offered any apology… Mindu Medical University hasn’t responded either…” She skillfully steered the conversation.

Fans immediately flooded the screen with angry comments.

They're definitely hiding! They're feeling guilty!

[The school is protecting despicable students! An explanation is needed!]

[Continuing the pressure! @Mindu Medical University responds!]

This matter isn't over until Qin Luo is fired!

[Yes! Jiajia, you absolutely must bring up this request during the TV interview tonight!]

Just then, a slightly abrupt comment appeared.

[I think...aren't we all going a bit too far? Qin Luo might genuinely have an emergency. And the cyberbullying, doxxing, and even forcing the school to expel him...after years of hard work and studying, isn't this going too far?]

This comment was like cold water being poured into a hot oil pan!
This instantly ignited the anger of the fans in the live stream!

[Where did this sanctimonious hypocrite come from?! Get out!]

[Excessive? Jiajia being bullied is considered excessive?]

[You're defending scum? Aren't you scum too?]

[Years of hard study? And this is what you become—this utterly rude and trashy person? They deserve to be expelled!]

Where's the admin? Kick this idiot out!

[Brothers! Expose him! See who's so blind! Let's cyberbully him too!]

The barrage of insults and personal attacks instantly drowned out the comment that tried to speak a fair word.

The person with that ID was so frightened that they dared not speak again and disappeared from the live stream instantly.

Yun Jia looked at the overwhelming condemnation on the screen, sneered inwardly, but put on a "helpless" and "tolerant" expression on her face, and gently advised.

"Alright, alright, everyone, don't be angry. Don't stoop to their level. I believe justice will prevail. In tonight's TV interview, I will truthfully reflect the facts and everyone's demands!"

She reveled in the feeling of controlling public opinion and commanding "a thousand troops." Little did she know, a cold and ruthless net woven by platforms, power, and the law was descending upon her and her meticulously crafted "kingdom" with overwhelming force!

The atmosphere in Yun Jia's live stream was both frenzied and distorted.

The barrage of comments was like a flood bursting its banks, surging and rushing forward, almost entirely consisting of denunciations of "Qin Luo".

Occasionally, one or two comments will emerge, attempting to defend Qin Luo or calling for rationality.

Perhaps they really do have an emergency?

Is cyberbullying and doxxing going too far?

Let bygones be bygones...

However, these faint voices were like pebbles thrown into the ocean, instantly swallowed up by the towering waves in front of hundreds of thousands of enthusiastic fans who had been incited!

[Get out! You sanctimonious hypocrite, get out of the live stream!]

[Speaking up for scum? You're no better than him!]

[Admin! Kick this idiot out!]

Brothers! Doxx him! Find out who he is!

Vicious insults rained down on those who tried to speak the truth.

The live stream administrators showed no mercy; with a single tap of their fingers, the IDs vanished instantly.

Watching those "dissidents" being easily crushed by his "Yun Family Army" like ants, Yun Jia felt no ripples in his heart, but instead felt a strong sense of contempt and sneer.

"A bunch of idiots..." she scoffed inwardly.

"They're being used as pawns and still working so hard, do they really think they're upholding justice? They're just batches of leeks waiting to be harvested by me."

She seemed to already see that once this storm passed, she could use the halo of being a "victim" and a "champion of justice" to launch a few "limited edition" products, and these "loyal" fans would rush to empty their wallets.

She picked up her water glass, took an elegant sip, but her thoughts drifted to Wei Junwu.

"Young Master Wu said the current intensity is not enough and he wants to increase it... I wonder what that poor loser named Qin Luo did to offend Young Master Wu so much that he hates him so much?" Yun Jia's online attack on Qin Luo was at Wei Junwu's behest.

Although she has long been independent and is no longer an internet celebrity under Tiancheng Entertainment, her relationship with Wei Junwu is still complicated and difficult to resolve.

Back when she first entered the online celebrity circle and was still an unknown streamer, it was Wei Junwu who saw her potential and used the resources and connections of Tiancheng Entertainment to make her famous.

Yun Jia has always remembered this "kindness of being recognized and appreciated".

More importantly, in her heart, Wei Junwu was a true scion of a wealthy family, and Tiancheng Entertainment was a behemoth in the entertainment industry of Fujian.

She fantasized that one day, when she was "out of fashion," she could use her relationship with Wei Junwu to marry into a wealthy family and live a life of luxury. Therefore, she almost always complied with Wei Junwu's requests, and she put on a particularly enthusiastic performance when she exposed Qin Luo online.

Just then, a fan with the ID "Little Dot" suddenly sent a striking comment in the live stream.

[Jiajia! Something terrible has happened! A minor internet celebrity is doing a live stream to try and clear Qin Luo's name! They're distorting the truth, it's infuriating!]

This news was like pouring a bucket of cold water on boiling oil!
What?! Who's so blind?!

[Dare to defend that scumbag? Are you tired of living?!]

Who is she? Tell us her ID! Let's raid her!

[Yes! Storm her livestream! Let her know the consequences of offending the Yun family army!]

The fans' anger was instantly ignited, and they demanded that "Little Dot" reveal her name.

"Little Dot" replied immediately.

[It's that streamer named 'Ruoxi'! Her room number is XXXXX!]

"Ruoxi?"

When Yun Jia saw the name, she was taken aback at first, then a cold, disdainful smile curled at the corner of her lips.

She had heard of this name before—a nobody streamer on Douyin who barely made ends meet and whose follower count was less than a fraction of hers.

"Oh...it's her?"

Yun Jia spoke to the camera in a relaxed tone, with a condescending pity and mockery.

"Family members, don't get agitated. A small-time streamer can't cause any trouble. He's probably just trying to ride the wave of popularity, right? Someone like that isn't even qualified to be my opponent."

She completely disregarded Xiao Ruoxi, even finding her behavior foolish and ridiculous, which perfectly highlighted her "magnanimity" and "victim" image.

To confirm the situation and to satisfy the fans' curiosity, Yun Jia immediately signaled to her assistant to arrange for several alternate accounts to infiltrate Xiao Ruoxi's live stream.

A few seconds later, the assistant handed another phone screen to Yun Jia.

On the screen was Xiao Ruoxi's live stream. In the video, Xiao Ruoxi's face was tense, her expression excited, as she tried her best to explain something.

"...Don't be misled! I know Mr. Ye! He's not that kind of person! He must have had something extremely urgent at the time! You don't know, he..."

Although the assistant turned the volume down, Yun Jia could clearly see that Xiao Ruoxi was indeed trying to defend Qin Luo!
"Pfft..." Yun Jia couldn't help but laugh out loud; she genuinely found it funny.

"What an arrogant little brat! She's so eager to ride the wave of popularity that she doesn't even know how to spell 'death' anymore?"

She was just about to casually mention it in her live stream, and then "helplessly" say, "Since someone wants to challenge the Yun family army, then everyone should go and teach her a lesson," organizing a large army of fans to "slaughter" and "storm" Xiao Ruoxi's live stream, enjoying the thrill of crushing ants.
A sudden change occurred!

The phone screen in front of her, which was broadcasting live, suddenly went black without warning!
Immediately afterwards, the phone system automatically returned to the home screen! The TikTok app icon lay there all alone.

"Ok?"

Yun Jia's smile froze instantly. What happened? Was the internet down? Did her phone freeze?

She subconsciously glanced at the computer screen used for live streaming. It displayed the live streaming status.

However, a glaring red warning box also popped up in the center of the screen.

[Live stream has been interrupted!]

[Reason: Your account has been temporarily banned from live streaming due to violations of community rules!]

"what?!"

Yun Jia's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition instantly enveloped her!

She immediately tried to log back into her Douyin account.

Enter your username and password, then click Login.

The page rotated and loaded for a few seconds, and then a cold, emotionless white dialog box popped up.

Your account is currently banned and unavailable. Please contact customer service if you have any questions.

Ban?!
Yun Jia's head buzzed! Her account was banned?!

"Impossible! It must be a system glitch! Or a mistaken ban!"

She forced down her panic and tried to reassure herself.

This has happened occasionally before, especially when the number of viewers during a live stream explodes; the system sometimes misjudges.

She took a deep breath, logged out of her main account, and switched to a secondary account she usually used to lurk and watch gossip.

This alternate account was registered using her own ID card.

Enter your alternate account information and log in.

The page rotates again to load, and then...
Your account is currently banned and unavailable. Please contact customer service if you have any questions.

The same prompt box, like a cold tombstone!
Yun Jia's face turned deathly pale instantly!
Undeterred, she tried registering several more accounts under her own name using different phone numbers.

The result was, without exception!
All of this is cold and indifferent: [Account is currently banned!]
Cold sweat instantly seeped from her forehead and back!
She snatched the phone from her assistant's hand, which was being used to spy on the screen. The phone was logged into an account that the assistant had registered using her own ID card.

She logged out of the assistant's alternate account and tried logging into her other associated account.
Your account is currently suspended...

"Buzz!"

Yun Jia felt dizzy and her hands and feet turned ice-cold! A word that terrified her to the core instantly exploded in her mind: ID card blocked!
As a top influencer who has been on the platform for many years, she knows Douyin's banning mechanism all too well!

The first option is a temporary ban.

If you accidentally use sensitive words or go too far during a live stream, your live stream function may be suspended for a few hours or days, but your account will still be usable.

The second option is account banning.

The offense is serious, so this account will be banned immediately.

Although it hurts to spend the money, getting a new ID card means starting over.

The third, most terrifying, thorough, and desperate method is ID-linked account blocking! All accounts registered with this ID, regardless of size or importance, will be permanently banned! Furthermore, this ID will never be able to register any new Douyin accounts again! This means that this person has been completely wiped out from this platform!
What Yun Jia is facing right now is undoubtedly this third type, the most severe kind of blacklist!
"How could this be... how could this happen?!"

Yun Jia trembled uncontrollably, a tremendous fear like a cold, venomous snake coiling around her heart, making it almost impossible for her to breathe!
Her career as an online celebrity… her millions of followers that she painstakingly built up over several years… could it… could it just be… over?! (End of Chapter)
