[Model Youth: Have any of you ever been to school? Can't you tell how fake this script is?]
[Call Me the Movie Emperor: The streamer's acting still needs work. He could learn from me! But first, he has to tell my fortune and see if I'm destined to become a movie emperor.]
[Shower with the Door Open: Whoever wrote this script really slacked off. If it were me, I'd point the camera straight at the bed! It'd be even better with the young lady lying on it.]
Lin Fan couldn't hold back when he saw that. "If those haters keep stirring things up, I'm going to expose your birth details!"
Lin Fan had always spoken gently, but this time, he was especially serious.
The viewers were actually intimidated, and their comments grew more serious too.
[Everything I Say Is True: Did the streamer really discover something? That expression definitely doesn't look fake.]
[Best at Fighting Antis: Can those haters stop stirring things up? Have you all forgotten what happened to that female streamer yesterday? I'm backing God Fan.]
[Believe in God Fan, Gain Eternal Life: Exactly! God Fan, I can't wait to watch you prove them wrong!]
[╭(╯^╰)╮: You'd better slap those haters' faces swollen. I'm just a woman, and I enjoy watching this even if it's scripted. It's better than those talent shows! It feels like I'm right there.]
[Psychologist: Young lady, stop standing there. You can move farther away. I noticed her face has actually turned purple. Is it that cold? I was so scared I checked the temperature. It's 27 degrees today!]
Everyone turned their attention back to Jiang Yanxue.
Lin Fan continued using the Qi-Observing Technique. Perhaps Jiang Yanxue wasn't tall enough; raising the camera higher still didn't help.
Especially with so much distance between them, Lin Fan's brow never relaxed. "Miss Jiang, could you get a stool and stand a little higher? Ideally, point the camera straight at the air conditioner."
The yin energy around the air conditioner was far too heavy, but it was a little too far away. Jiang Yanxue's home was enormous, and the suspended ceiling was fairly high too.
Jiang Yanxue nodded in confusion and rubbed her arms. "Got it. I'll get a stool right now."
The camera shook as Jiang Yanxue put her phone back on its stand and brought over a stool.
[Are You Envious of the Rich Today?: I'm really not just hating on the rich, but isn't that young lady's stool ridiculously luxurious? I can't even imagine what standing on it would feel like.]
[How Much Furniture Did You Sell Today: I'm back with another little lesson for everyone. The leather stool she's holding, which she's about to step on, was handmade by Normans! It costs at least five figures!]
[Feeling Panicky: I'm feeling nervous for no reason. This must be what it feels like to step on money!]
Lin Fan had no time to listen to these people envy the rich. Although he also thought the young lady was genuinely wealthy, that was nothing compared to a murder case.
By then, he had figured something out. When the system had mentioned helping her defy fate and change her destiny, there was probably a deeper meaning to it.
The victim might very well have mistaken Jiang Yanxue for the murderer, which was why she was being tormented relentlessly.
If she hadn't met him, Jiang Yanxue might even have come to harm.
After she positioned the stool, the camera shook again. Jiang Yanxue was now standing on the stool with her phone in hand.
As the phone approached the air conditioner, a sudden pain pierced Lin Fan's eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw corpse energy and resentment so dense they seemed close to taking physical form.
The Qi-Observing Technique had no particularly strict time constraints. As he examined the scene carefully, his expression grew increasingly grave.
He soon pinpointed the exact location: the ventilation opening behind the bathroom air conditioner!
"Master, what's wrong? I've called you several times. Did you find the problem?"
Even with the stool, Jiang Yanxue's height left her some distance from the air conditioner, so she had to hold her phone up.
That meant she couldn't see Lin Fan's expression or read what the viewers were saying.
After calling him several times without getting a response, she began to panic.
"You can come down now."
Lin Fan's voice was slightly hoarse. The corpse energy and yin energy were so heavy that even through the phone, they affected him somewhat.
Jiang Yanxue breathed a sigh of relief and jumped off the stool. Instead of returning to her seat, she pointed the camera straight at the air conditioner.
"Master, is something wrong with my air conditioner?"
Instinctively trying to reassure herself, Jiang Yanxue assumed it was just a problem with the air conditioner.
"Miss Jiang, are you scared?" Lin Fan suddenly asked out of nowhere.
"No?" Jiang Yanxue turned the camera toward herself. She hadn't grasped what Lin Fan meant and answered instinctively.
[Grew Up Eating Cuteness: Oh my gosh, she's so cute! That expression just now was adorable. I bet she has no idea what the streamer means.]
[Can't Stop at All: I'm not being bitter, but that expression was obviously affected and coy. What exactly are you finding cute about it?]
[Fan Fan, I Like You: Could everyone please focus on God Fan? God Fan, don't you know stream moderators exist? Hurry up and make me a moderator. I'll definitely protect your stream!]
[Believe in God Fan, Gain Eternal Life: God Fan, me too, me too! I'll devote myself wholeheartedly and work my fingers to the bone managing your stream.]
Lin Fan actually spent most of his time telling fortunes, which was why his audience included so many paid trolls and haters stirring up trouble.
He already had more than a million followers. Even if many were only there for the spectacle, his popularity was bound to stay high.
"I'll consider your suggestions. Anyone who wants to become a stream moderator can message me privately. For now, let's deal with Miss Jiang's situation first."
Lin Fan's voice cooled toward the end. Remembering Jiang Yanxue's answer earlier, he gave a bitter smile.
He wasn't at Jiang Yanxue's home, so he could only have her do it herself. Otherwise, as a gentleman, Lin Fan would never have let a girl do something like this.
"Miss Jiang, find a pole and push the air conditioner hard to the right! Remember to wear gloves, and be careful when you push." Lin Fan knew Jiang Yanxue wasn't tall enough and would still have to stand on the stool.
That was why he thoughtfully reminded her to be careful.
Jiang Yanxue was puzzled. Could there really be something wrong with the air conditioner? I wasn't home to supervise when it was installed because I had something to do.
With that thought in mind, Jiang Yanxue wasn't afraid. She quickly found a long clothes pole and walked toward the air conditioner.
Chapter 12: Don't Look Up! A Corpse Is Falling!
"Master, where do you want me to push?" Jiang Yanxue looked at the stool in front of her. It probably wouldn't let her stand high enough to do anything that required force.
"You don't need much force. Just push at the spot I tell you."
After a moment's thought, Lin Fan added, "That stool isn't safe. Get a different one."
Jiang Yanxue hadn't expected him to be so considerate. Warmth filled her heart as she put her phone back on its stand.
"This is the only stool in the room. I'll go get another one." With that, she dashed out like the wind.
The viewers began discussing things animatedly again.
[Eat Papaya: Streamer, do you think this girl is some mighty warrior? A few pokes will make the air conditioner fall off?]
[I'm the Hater: Exactly. This script is getting more and more sloppy. Hurry up and get a new writer!]
[Puppy Has No Love: Has anyone noticed more and more people joining? Does everyone want to see how today's script plays out?]
Lin Fan no longer wanted to bother with these trolls. "Since Miss Jiang has gone to find a stool, let me explain a few types of facial features..."
At first, some people kept interrupting, but as they listened, they grew interested too.
After all, everyone cared about their own facial features and feng shui, especially when much of what Lin Fan said matched their circumstances.
Soon, Jiang Yanxue carried in a larger, steadier stool. She wasn't very strong and struggled a little.
They heard her voice from a distance. "Sorry to keep everyone waiting."
The young lady genuinely felt apologetic, and her voice sounded weak and breathless.
[Trolls Are Invincible: Where's that furniture seller? Get in here and explain this one. Broaden my horizons.]
[I'm a Poor Dog: Have you all been led astray? Aren't we supposed to be envying the rich right now? Educated people really are different.]
[The Furniture Seller Has Clocked Out: Sorry, everyone, I'm late. Although I've clocked out, I'll still explain this for you. Those of you envying the rich, get your notebooks ready.]
[Envious-of-the-Rich Zhang San: Can the person above stop dragging this out? Hurry up and tell us how much this big stool costs! The comments are moving so fast I can barely find yours.]
[The Furniture Seller Has Clocked Out: Even as a business owner, I've never stepped on such a valuable stool. According to the latest information, it starts at six figures. See those genuine leather pads on the bottom? They're made from wild animal hide, subject to quotas, and completely authentic!]
Lin Fan had also seen that viewer's comment. The price left even him feeling sheepish. Just how rich was the young lady on this call?
Since she was so wealthy, why had a corpse been put in her room? What exactly had happened during the renovation?
Or was there a deeper reason behind it? Lin Fan couldn't help entertaining conspiracy theories.
While the viewers were busy commenting, Jiang Yanxue had moved the stool beneath the air conditioner. "Master, everything's ready. Where exactly should I push?"
"Stand on it first."
Looking at the increasingly dense corpse energy and resentment, Lin Fan couldn't help shaking his head.
Once Jiang Yanxue stood on it, he activated the Qi-Observing Technique again. "The stool's in the wrong place. You won't be able to reach that opening from there."
In truth, there was no need for great precision. He could tell that the air conditioner was already an empty shell; the corpse energy and resentment had almost completely corroded its insides.
Ordinary people simply couldn't see it, so it wouldn't take much force. He didn't want to waste time rebutting the viewers' comments.
Unfortunately, Lin Fan couldn't stop the viewers' bizarre imaginations!
[My Stomach Hurts a Little: Streamer, you're making a girl mess with the air conditioner like that? What if it really falls and hits someone?]
[I'm a Normal Person: Exactly! He was acting so gentle earlier. I bet this fake master will get himself thrown in jail sooner or later.]
[Call Me for Air Conditioner Repairs: Rich girl, where do you live? You won't get the air conditioner off that way. As a professional, I'm telling you to give me your address. I'll come help right away! For free!]
[Monkey Eating a Banana: How long has this streamer been live? People are already advertising here. Clearly, he's got some real pull!]
[Likes Cute Girls: Girl, whatever you do, don't listen to him.]
Jiang Yanxue was about to climb up when she saw the comments on her phone. She explained with innocent earnestness, "I still believe the master. I'll be careful. Thank you all for your concern."
"Don't mislead her. This situation is no simpler than yesterday's. Every minute of delay puts her at risk."
Lin Fan didn't spell it out. After all, if she inhaled too much of that resentment and corpse energy, it would be much more serious than mere bad luck.
[Believe in God Fan, Gain Eternal Life: God Fan, hurry up and explain it to us! Why is this happening? We believe you.]
[I Love Fan Fan: God Fan, God Fan!]
[I'll Have Fan Fan's Monkey Babies: God Fan, God Fan!]
Lin Fan had only looked away from the screen for a moment, and the chat was already flooded. He had never imagined he would gain devoted fans so quickly.
"Miss Jiang, remember to put on a glove."
