The male supporting character was actually myself.

What? If I poke this screen and it says you're handsome, it'll automatically play videos for you?

However, before she could continue her smug mockery, the big screen suddenly flickered twice and started playing a video.

"Guest, here is your order." The video was shot from a very clear angle, showing a uniformed waiter from the Cherry Blossom Restaurant serving Jin Hongxuan, who was sitting in the inner room.

He politely thanked them, then began to savor the signature dishes at the Cherry Blossom Restaurant, while leisurely enjoying the sea view from the window.

Then, the camera captured two figures wearing hoodies with their faces covered by large hoods. The woman in the yellow hoodie walked with an arrogant gait, clearly looking like she was there to cause trouble; closely following behind her was a woman with a slender figure wearing a black hoodie.

Ninety-nine percent of the people at the scene and in the live broadcast room had not seen the whole sequence of events. When they saw the video, they immediately focused their eyes on Mu Liuli and her famous lackey and bodyguard Lan Ying.

Anyone with eyes can see that the two people who came later in the video are these two!

In the video, a waiter at the Cherry Blossom Restaurant enthusiastically explains the difference between the outer and inner dining areas. However, a woman wearing a yellow hoodie rudely interrupts him, saying, "Shut up, you're just a lowly person, why do you have so many questions?"

The sound effects, perfectly complementing the enormous screen, are naturally top-notch.

In addition, the little white cat secretly turned up her voice several decibels, and the familiar stern shout made those who had just been scolding Jin Hongxuan with a stern face freeze in shock. Then they looked at Mu Liuli on the stage with incredulous eyes, who remained calm and composed.

The scene fell silent, and even the live stream chat, which was flooded with insults directed at Jin Hongxuan, instantly went cold.

Everyone stared at the bright, conspicuous, and incredibly clear large screen, even their breathing became much more cautious.

"Oh wow, no wonder she wasn't flustered or on guard when she was smeared. So she really had a backup plan!" Mu Liuli was not afraid at all. Instead, her eyes lit up with excitement!

That perverted pretty boy actually possesses such a top-tier magical artifact!

All I have to do is let that old man with kidney deficiency kill him, and then I can just act all cute and charming, and this wonderful treasure will fall into my hands.

The only problem is that the public relations department might have to spend a lot of money to ban all the accounts and live streams. After all, today's incident caused the popularity of several streamers to soar to unprecedented levels, and they probably have millions of fans now.

Hmph! A bunch of trash who profit from human suffering, just wait until I take care of you one by one and clean house for Wuhai City!

The large screen was still playing, and refusing her subordinate's attempt to enter the inner hall, Mu Liuli led the person to sit in the outer hall and continued to insult the waiter, saying, "Hey, you lowlifes, come and order!"

"You lowly waitress who sells herself..."

"...How can your restaurant service be so terrible...It's all thanks to your boss's wife selling her body...How much for a night, please give me a price..."

"Hey, you lowlife!"

"...selling dog meat under the guise of mutton, deceiving consumers..."

"...The lower class is the lower class, a good-for-nothing who can't even afford two dishes in his entire life..."

Mu Liuli's disturbance at the store didn't last long. In less than a minute, she unleashed a barrage of profanities, picked fights, and insults, even personally plucking a hair from a guard's head, cutting it into pieces, and throwing it into the food...

After being refuted, he suddenly attacked people and began to vandalize the restaurant, turning the once beautiful outer dining area into ruins in no time.

However, the boss, Nangong Yingluo, who witnessed the whole process, was surprisingly unresponsive in the video. She was even less anxious than the waiters, and slowly puffed on her long pipe with a smug smile on her face!

Instead, Jin Hongxuan, who was eating in the inner hall, was disturbed, picked up his long sword, and went out to confront him.

A buzz of discussion began to rise at the scene, and the wind immediately shifted.

"Hey, isn't it normal for this to happen to Mu Liuli? Everyone knows she's a major scourge in Wuhai City."

"Exactly, the young swordsman is still too young. Look, all the other martial artists have quietly slipped away, haven't they?"

"Who dares to mess with Mu Liuli? In Wuhai City, whether the weather is sunny or cloudy depends on her!"

"I knew this was Mu Liuli's fault. With her character, how could she possibly do anything good? No way..."

…………

The same people who had just been hurling insults at each other made another reversal of their statements, seemingly unable to even remember what they had just said or done.

"Damn, I've been holding back to build up this big explosion, and now I don't have to hold it in anymore!" The fluffy little dumpling scratched rapidly, quickly editing the original video and the live video clips and uploading them online.

Only half an hour has passed since Mu Liuli caused trouble at the restaurant, yet she has already dominated all the top headlines and trending topics.

After the brief restaurant clip finished playing, Jiang Chen smacked his lips and laughed, still feeling unsatisfied, "Owner of Cherry Blossom Restaurant, you're not a very kind person."

Look, not a single one of you is willing to stand up and speak up for you.

I stood up for you, and you, as a martial artist, neither called the police nor took action, but instead turned around and accused me. Isn't that utterly inhuman?

"I...I..." Nangong Yingluo never expected that even though she had deleted the store's surveillance video, how could this kid still produce such complete video evidence?

Her face paled instantly as she looked at the angry gazes fixed on her. She pouted, feigning grievance, and tried to shift the blame, saying, "I have my reasons!"

Jiang Chen didn't give her a chance to continue acting, and laughed loudly, "That's right, that's right, you must have your reasons, after all, I heard your conspiracy just now."

He snapped his fingers, and the fluffy little ball of fluff immediately switched videos upon receiving the signal.

"Hey, are you the owner of Sakura Fall Restaurant? We're Mu Qianjin's bodyguards, we need to discuss something with you." The video playing on the big screen clearly captured the faces of the people negotiating privately. Lan Ying went up to Nangong Yingluo and slipped a check into her pocket. "Two million is more than enough to compensate you for your losses."

From now on, all the surveillance videos in your store are broken; they didn't record any footage at all. Delete the cloud videos and keep your mouth shut..."

On the big screen, Nangong Yingluo grinned from ear to ear after seeing the amount. "With money, nothing is a problem! You all watch as I delete the surveillance footage right now! Don't worry, I know which powerful figure to cling to, and I won't say a single word that would harm Miss Mu..."

"...I heard your young lady's attempt to shift the blame. However, the price we agreed on only involved deleting the cloud-based videos and distorting the facts, not damaging my personal reputation..."

"...It costs more..."

"...As long as there's money, anything is possible. He's just a pervert, I've seen plenty of them, and he can easily pull it off without any pretense..."

This time, not only Nangong Yingluo, but even Mu Liuli and Lan Ying were stunned.

When did he take these pictures?!

"So, you're that kind of person!" Someone immediately pointed at Nangong Yingluo and cursed.

The Mu family's daughter didn't dare to confront her directly. How could she not scold such a powerless, materialistic gold digger?

"Pah! I should have given you a tip before because we were from the same city, you ungrateful wretch!"

"Damn it, a piece of trash like you who repays kindness with enmity deserves to be bullied by Mu Liuli. Evil people will always be punished by other evil people!"

"Unfollow, unfollow! All show and no substance, a surgically enhanced face full of rotten water, disgusting!"

"Cherry Blossom Restaurant, get out of Wuhai City! I'll smash your restaurant every time I see it open one in the future..."

…………

Unexpectedly, she instantly became the target of everyone's criticism, and Nangong Yingluo suddenly realized that she was caught in a dilemma, unable to extricate herself or retreat!

The Mu family is one they cannot afford to offend;

But if they lose the hearts of the people, won't their restaurants and live-streaming businesses, which have made a fortune by accumulating popularity, be doomed?

"Young Master Jin, I was wrong!" She quickly assessed the current situation in her mind.

It's definitely not possible to shift the blame to Mu Liuli, since the video was filmed and she was all smiles while holding the money, showing no sign of being forced into anything.

The only way to salvage their public image is to target Jin Hongxuan.

Why not use moral blackmail to force him to forgive you?

Since the parties involved are no longer pursuing the matter, what's the use of others jumping up and down? All the negative emotions will eventually be directed at Jin Hongxuan, since he chose to forgive her because he was attracted to her beauty.

One should take responsibility for one's own actions; if Jin Hongxuan is cyberbullied again, it will have nothing to do with him.

Of course, the premise is to put on a good show. First, cry and whine in the live broadcast room to imply that you are being bullied by the Mu family and dare not show your anger. Then, sincerely apologize to Jin Hongxuan and the general public, and then renovate the store to offer half-price promotions and hold a big event.

If you hire a few online trolls to clean up the mess, everyone will understand.

It must be so difficult for a frail woman to build her own career and then be tormented like this by Mu Liuli. She just wanted to keep the peace and protect herself. Was that wrong?

Having made up her mind, Nangong Yingluo cried her heart out, apologizing and begging for forgiveness.

A beautiful woman shedding tears always evokes sympathy, and coupled with her constant insistence that she had no other choice, it inevitably reminded people of Mu Liuli's arrogance and domineering nature, causing some to soften their mood and stop glaring at her.

"To err is human, to forgive divine!"

"Yes, it's really not easy being a woman. Who wouldn't be afraid when they see Mu Liuli's fierce-looking guards?"

"Although it's wrong of her to turn the tables and blame others, there are some extenuating circumstances. It would be too unreasonable to refuse to back down even when you're in the right."

Jiang Chen didn't care what those fickle bystanders were saying; frankly, what effect could their words have?

Those people only want to hear what they want to hear and see what they want to see, and then stand on the moral high ground, pointing fingers and venting their emotions with spittle flying everywhere. As for the truth, how many people are willing to delve into it?

To be angry at such thoughtless, parrot-like, and opportunistic remarks is truly the mark of a naive and simple-minded youth.

I'm not Jin Hongxuan, how could I possibly be affected?

"I heard your apology, but I don't forgive you." Jiang Chen said coldly with his hands behind his back, "If bad people do bad things without any cost or punishment, and can be forgiven by good people with a few light words, then there will be more and more bad people in this world."

To prevent society from deteriorating further, those who engage in false accusations and extortion must be made to pay the price, and others who harbor侥幸心理 (a sense of侥幸, or a belief that they can get away with it) must see the consequences. This serves as a warning and contributes to purifying the social environment; only then can I live up to the bright heart I have painstakingly cultivated.

Nangong Yingluo listened to the understanding comments from the onlookers around her. Her face was crying, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned. She felt that she had achieved her goal. However, she was stunned when she heard what the other party said.

“I will submit all video evidence to the High Martial Arts Alliance’s supervisory body. Boss Nangong, your behavior is no different from extortion. Just wait to receive your summons.”

Extortion?!

I'm the best!

Nangong Yingluo felt a sudden surge of frustration. There were very detailed laws and regulations regarding extortion cases, and if she were convicted, the consequences would be severe!

Let alone martial artists distorting the truth and framing others;

Even in cases of extortion between ordinary people, in addition to having to pay the other party the same amount of money after the extortion is determined, the length of imprisonment is also determined based on the amount of the extortion.

Since the relevant laws were enacted, those cases of staged accidents for extortion have decreased dramatically and have long since disappeared.

If you are found guilty of extortion, defamation, or other crimes, the High Martial Arts Alliance's punishment is not just for show!

what can we do about it?

"I...I..." Nangong Yingluo was very flustered and looked at Mu Liuli with pleading eyes.

However, the other party coveted her beauty and was worried about how to successfully get this little internet celebrity into their hands. At this moment, they felt very happy after hearing Jin Hongxuan's words.

Who would have thought that this perverted pretty boy could actually give me a helping hand at such a crucial moment!

We'll have to deal with him slowly. We need to make him sue Nangong Yingluo first and get his extortion and insult charges proven. Once the beauty is in jail and suffers some hardship and has nowhere else to turn, I'll appear as a savior.

At that time, this mature woman in a fiery red dress and black stockings will willingly become his devoted follower!

Without comparison, there is no gratitude; it was this that led her to fall into the abyss and then grasp at a straw...

Thinking of this, Mu Liuli's lips curled up slightly, thinking to herself, "If you don't make me happy, I won't let you out of prison."

Hehe, how could someone as delicate as you possibly endure the hardships of prison?

Then rack your brains and come up with all sorts of tricks to lick my boots!
