The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 335 Counterattack, Old Qin
The sudden live stream by Relaxed and Slow Travel brought the comment section of the official Relaxed and Slow Travel account, which had been soaring in popularity due to Xiao Ye's direct confrontation and Tang Tang's crazy provocation, and was filled with various speculations and insults, to an abrupt standstill.

All the negative comments and casual remarks that were flooding the screen seemed to be paused. Tens of thousands of users were simultaneously drawn to this sudden official live stream, and the number of online viewers skyrocketed at an alarming rate.

After a brief pause, the comments section exploded with messages:
"Holy crap?! The main character is here?!"

"Who is this old lady? She has such a strong presence!"

"Is this going to be a direct confrontation?!"

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Zhou Yaqin, with a calm and even mocking expression, clearly stated in front of the camera:

"Hello everyone. I am Zhou Yaqin, the person in charge of Relaxing and Slow Travel."

"These past two days, thanks to everyone's 'kindness,' our little shop has become incredibly popular."

At this point, her tone suddenly turned cold:
"But before I reveal the truth, I'd like to ask one question first—"

"Before those so-called 'dark histories' were dug up, what did our little shop do wrong? Was our massage technique substandard, or were our essential oils diluted with water? Or were we disrespectful to some customer, or violated some law?"

Her voice wasn't loud, but it sent a shiver down your spine.

The live stream chat froze for a moment, and the barrage of insults that had been flying by suddenly decreased.

"Can't explain it, huh?" Zhou Yaqin sneered. "Fine, then the old lady will have to find the answer herself."

"Since there are so many people here today, I'll learn from your methods of 'digging up dark histories' and conducting 'online trials,' and give you a live demonstration of what real 'skinning' really means!"

"Let everyone open their eyes and see what kind of 'Aolun Vision' is, which is stirring up trouble in the gutter, and what kind of person their boss, Gu Tianyu, really is!"

……

Luxurious office.

Upon seeing this, Gu Tianyu's face instantly turned ashen. He grabbed the landline microphone and practically roared into the other end, "I don't care how much it costs! Immediately! Right now! Have Fuyin Short Video cut off their live stream!"

His fingers trembled as he hung up, then quickly grabbed his phone, dialed Leng Xiao's number, and his voice was shrill with urgency: "President Leng! Think of something! We have to shut down their live stream! Quickly!"

He didn't even wait for Leng Xiao's response before quickly finding Wei Lan's number and dialing it, his forehead already beaded with cold sweat.

Before the call even connected, a chilling voice suddenly came through the phone.

"Among the shareholders of this company, there is one particularly interesting one. Behind this company is a foreign foundation. Take a look at the name of this foundation; doesn't it look familiar?"

A shareholding structure diagram, clearly marked with a red circle, was thrust in front of the camera.

"The fake news about a pregnant woman having an affair with a rich girl that sparked gender antagonism across the internet last year was fabricated by them..."

"The rumor that 'Northeastern businessmen are cheating their Southern partners,' which instigated attacks between the North and South in the first half of the year, was actually spread simultaneously by them using 500,000 bot accounts..."

With each sentence Zhou Yaqin spoke, Gu Tianyu's face paled a little more.

When Zhou Yaqin slammed a stack of operation records onto the table, Gu Tianyu jumped up from his chair, his face pale, and lunged at the control panel on his desk, seemingly wanting to initiate some emergency procedure or destroy evidence.

Just as his fingertips were about to touch the button—

"boom!"

The heavy solid wood door of the office was violently smashed open from the outside by a tremendous force!

Two plainclothes officers with cold expressions and showing their identification burst into the room and instantly subdued Gu Tianyu, who was frozen in place.

Through the open door, Gu Tianyu glimpsed in horror that all his employees were crouching silently against the wall in the spacious office area outside, with their hands behind their heads, surrounded by more people who were quickly collecting evidence and controlling the scene.

His profound philosophical vision was completely uprooted within minutes.

If they hadn't taken on this deal, Oren Vision, which had been deeply immersed in the flood of data, wouldn't have surfaced so quickly and entered that field of vision it shouldn't have entered.

…………

Relax and stroll through the office area.

During the live stream, Zhou Yaqin slammed the operation logs onto the table and glanced at her lit-up phone.

"Target under control, network cleanup in progress."

Almost at the same moment, the sporadic negative comments and inflammatory bullet comments that were scrolling on the live stream screen were instantly wiped out, becoming sparse and clean!

Zhou Yaqin glanced at the screen, a hint of sarcasm on her face.

"To all the friends who were just criticizing so enthusiastically and believing so readily, why don't you leave the live stream now and go outside to take a look?"

"Look at those posts on your homepage that are attacking our 'Easy and Slow' campaign, how many are left? Look at those 'righteous' accounts, haven't they all suddenly become 'quiet'?" She leaned forward slightly, her voice clear and firm:
"By the way, on behalf of the authorities, I would like to inform everyone that after a thorough investigation, Aolun Vision Company, which is suspected of organizing online trolls, spreading rumors and defamation, and seriously disrupting the order of the Internet, has been shut down in accordance with the law."

After finishing her report, Zhou Yaqin scoffed, her eyes sweeping across the camera as if she were looking at a group of clowns.

"And those streamers and MCN agencies that were so eager to ride the wave of trending topics, aren't they busy deleting videos and locking comment sections right now? Too late!" She raised her voice, "When you were making a fortune by stirring up trouble, did you ever think you were facing your execution? Every single one of you, lawyer's letters and summonses will be delivered to you soon!"

"And those 'clever' people who blindly follow the crowd, doxxing and harassing our girls and families, thinking they can get away with it because of their numbers," her tone suddenly turned cold, "don't rush to delete your accounts. The server remembers every single click and comment you make. Right now, someone is using this list to track you down one by one online. None of you will escape!"

"You really think the internet is a lawless zone? This time, I'll teach you a lesson!"

"Alright, the show's over, everyone disperse. Those who need to turn themselves in should do so, those who need to delete their accounts should delete them—of course, deleting them won't make a difference."

After saying that, she decisively ended the live stream, leaving a black screen and countless viewers who were completely dumbfounded.

However, the expected "dispersal" did not occur. Instead of decreasing, the number of online users surged even higher! The comment section exploded with discussion:

"???? That's it?"

"Holy crap! This old lady is amazing! It's like she's live-streaming a case!"

"Don't turn it off! I haven't seen enough yet! What happens next?!"

"Go check it out right now, those smear posts outside are really gone! It's unbelievable!"

Those netizens who had been suppressed by the online trolls and remained clear-headed finally surfaced, their voices filled with triumphant sarcasm:

"Where are those 'righteous people' who were jumping around so enthusiastically just now? Come out and take a look! Are your accounts gone?"

"Hilarious! The plot twist came so fast, like a tornado!"

"I told you to let things play out for a while, but a bunch of brainless people just blindly followed along and spouted nonsense. Now they're dumbfounded, aren't they?"

"@Those internet celebrities who are most active online, hurry up and apologize on live stream, maybe you can get a reduced sentence!"

Amidst this chaotic revelry and mockery, the relaxed and slow-moving live stream signal unexpectedly lit up again!

A sprightly old man suddenly appeared in front of the camera, with busy staff behind him and Zhou Yaqin's back as she turned to leave.

This unexpected scene stunned all netizens.

The chat went blank for a second, then erupted at an even more frenzied pace:

"Holy crap!!! Who is this again?"

"A surprise segment?"

"Quick, record the screen! It feels like a bombshell is about to drop!"

In front of the camera, Lao Qin calmly put on his reading glasses and read aloud from the documents in his hand, word by word:

"Wei Lan, CEO of Jinling Capital, became a Level 2 member of Easy Slow Travel after receiving a diagnosis of severe sleep disorder. Her symptoms improved significantly after two sessions."

"As a minority shareholder of Ugly Donkey, a company with a market value of hundreds of billions, the CEO of Jinling Capital saw huge business potential in Easy Slow Travel and thus planned a series of subsequent events..."

Old Qin smiled憨厚ly at the camera: "As for the specifics, since you all have investigated our background so thoroughly, I believe you can also find out these things."

"I'm standing here today to set an example for some people behind their screens—when you do certain things, you should think about what the consequences will be!"

After saying this, Lao Qin looked at the documents again, a meaningful smile on his lips.

Before getting down to business, a word of advice to those investing in Ugly Donkey shares in Hong Kong – ask your friends in Sichuan and Chongqing what's going on there!

"Next..."

"Wei Lan, female, 43 years old. In 2002, she accepted bribes... and plagiarized academic work..."

"In 2008, she had a son and a daughter during her marriage. Two years later, she divorced in China and subsequently obtained permanent residency in the United States."

"Joined Jinling Capital in 2012, and registered her marriage with her same-sex partner in the United States in 2019..."

"In 2016, suspected of insider trading..."

For a full five minutes, Lao Qin calmly revealed the other side of a person's impressive resume.

He slowly took off his reading glasses, looked at the blank comment section, and smiled gently:
"I'll turn myself in right now."

"what about you?"
