Let's go back 24 hours.

After discovering that "Moon and You" had absconded with the money, Lin Ning immediately reported it to the police.

But this amount of money was so much that Lin Ning's hands would start to tremble when she heard the number.

She thought about it again and again, and realized that they definitely couldn't handle this matter on their own.

So the remaining members of the data team discussed it and then contacted Jiao Wangshu's official fan club.

This matter eventually reached Dai Xiaoqing.

Dai Xiaoqing was stunned when she heard this. She was just a girl from an ordinary family, and she could barely afford to spend 1,600 yuan on living expenses.

Sixteen million...

Dai Xiaoqing was about to break down as well.

Fortunately, she still had Xiang Wanwan.

The person who was previously kicked out of Ling Tinglan's fan club by Xiang Wanwan has indeed dropped a bombshell.

The fans who were swindled out of their money are now coming to her crying and complaining.

Enraged, Xiang Wanwan smashed her phone and began swearing.

"I told you long ago not to participate in crowdfunding! Not to participate in crowdfunding! But you were all so stubborn, you wouldn't listen! Now those who got scammed know to come to me!"

"What can I do now?"

After a barrage of words, Xiang Wanwan softened and took the lead in dealing with these messy situations.

Both of them also got in touch with Lin Ning.

And so, the three of them met in person for the first time at the police station.

Lanwei, Jiaowei, and another member of the Chaos Omnivorous Party sat together, looking so fresh and lovely.

This scene was incredibly bizarre.

The interrogation took six hours, but unfortunately, five million of the sixteen million had already been transferred. Even if the perpetrator is caught, the chances of recovering the money are slim.

The only saving grace is that the remaining money that hadn't been transferred yet is now frozen in the platform account, and it can be returned once the subsequent review is completed without any issues.

However, the 600,000 yuan that Ling Tinglan's fans were scammed out of was completely wasted.

That swindler is a repeat offender who has long been a deadbeat, and he's a ruthless person who would rather go to jail than pay back the money.

He could go to jail for eight or ten years, but in that case, the fans wouldn't get their money back, which would be a complete loss.

The difficulty in protecting one's rights in such cases is partly due to the fact that the funds defrauded are usually small and numerous.

Some of these fans were scammed out of thousands or tens of thousands of yuan, while others were scammed out of tens or hundreds of yuan. Because there were so many of them, the total amount was astronomical.

However, when these losses are spread out among everyone, they are not enough to bankrupt fans. Most people who are scammed out of tens or hundreds of dollars can only let it go.

The black market is called the black market because it is illegal in itself.

Illegal fundraising, fraud, extortion, infringement of citizens' information...

These deeply entrenched black market industries, disguised under the guise of "love," shift all blame onto the lowest-level fans.

These little fans are clearly the biggest victims, being ripped off and constantly blamed and criticized.

What's the point of pointing guns at young fans? When will we be able to dismantle these well-organized black market supply chains behind the scenes? Only then will we see true order and clarity.

In any case, by the time the three men finally emerged from the police station, looking utterly exhausted, it was already broad daylight.

"Shall we eat first?"

Dai Xiaoqing patted her flat stomach, looked at the two people standing on either side of her, farther apart than the Milky Way, and cautiously made a suggestion.

As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding," and in this matter, it was Xiang Wanwan who took the lead and contributed.

Even if Lin Ning dislikes Ling Tinglan's fans, it would be difficult for her to say no right now.

So the three of them found a breakfast shop nearby, each holding a bowl of soy milk, and cautiously began their chat.

Dai Xiaoqing blinked guiltily. Ever since she revealed her identity as the president of the Jiao Wangshu Supporters Association, she had been pretending not to know Xiang Wanwan.

There was no other way; with Lin Ning, a staunch supporter and ardent advocate, on the other side, even someone as "evil" as her had to temporarily avoid her.

However, after experiencing this incident, Dai Xiaoqing also felt that her abilities were really too poor.

This wasn't just the case this time; in the past, the fan club was only able to operate thanks to Wanwan's help.

Fans called her useless, but she didn't dare to say a word, because Dai Xiaoqing knew that what the fans were saying was actually true.

So, it's about time.

Dai Xiaoqing spoke hesitantly:

"...Um...would you be interested in taking over the management of Jiaojiao's official fan club for me?"

Lin Ning looked at Dai Xiaoqing in shock, "Why would you ask that? Have you stopped being a fan?"

"No! No!"

Seeing that Lin Ning had misunderstood, Dai Xiaoqing quickly waved her hands, "I haven't stopped being a fan! I will continue to like Jiaojiao in the future!"

Her tone suddenly darkened after she finished speaking, "I just feel..."

"My current abilities are still too poor, and I am not worthy of my position, so it would be better to relinquish it sooner rather than later."

"Now that the talent show is over, we don't know where Jiaojiao will go in the future. If the fan club keeps holding him back, it will really be bad for him in the future."

Although Lin Ning had previously hated her own fan club to the core, love doesn't lie.

Ultimately, the love of fans is very pure; they just want the person to be happy.

With this in mind, Lin Ning finally let go of her prejudice and defensiveness, and she ultimately accepted Dai Xiaoqing's invitation.

"Oh well."

Lin Ning gently raised her chin. "We'll still support each other from now on. I'll do my best to run Jiaojiao's fan club well, anyway..."

She glanced sideways at Wanwan, "Anyway, it'll be better than the next one."

Xiang Wanwan could easily understand the other person's implied meaning, and her fiery temper flared up instantly:

"Who are you calling the next player?!"

"Whoever agrees, that's who we're talking about."

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Dai Xiaoqing hurriedly tried to break them up.

"Stop arguing! We're all family!"

It would have been better if Dai Xiaoqing hadn't spoken; once she opened her mouth, she was walking right into the line of fire.

Two murderous gazes simultaneously turned to her:

"explain!"

"Whose side are you on anyway?!"

"I...I..."

Dai Xiaoqing stammered for a long time, unable to speak. Looking into the two pairs of increasingly dangerous eyes, she finally closed her eyes, straightened her neck, and decided to boldly follow her heart:

"I...I've become a CP (couple) fan!"

Xiang Wanwan and Lin Ning: ? ? ?
