"Don't be like this, it's my fault. Even if you call the police, it's my fault!" Hong Youtian looked at his wife and children who had run out, reached out and hugged them. The three of them cried together, their cries so heartbreaking, as if they had lost their parents.
Niu Guangping: "... This makes it seem like we're the bad guys."
If someone who didn't know better saw this, they might think they had done something to this family of three, but Mingming, they were the ones in the right, weren't they?
"... Li Kui, how about we just let this matter go?" Some of the people who came with Ye Mo were moved by this scene and couldn't help but turn against him, actually starting to persuade Li Kui.
Li Kui: "Ah, then I..."
Before he could say anything, Ye Mo interjected, "No, things are things, and their plight is no excuse for lying!"
Compared to the family of three weeping bitterly, Ye Mo's expression and words seemed incredibly cold.
Now, the netizens in Wu Youyou's live stream who just moments ago thought she was a mouth double are now finding her a bit too cold-hearted.
[... I just thought this woman was very calm, but now it seems she's not calm, she's cold-blooded and ruthless. This family is so pitiful, doesn't she feel anything at all?]
[Hehe, she said]
What's wrong with that? This family is pitiful, but aren't there many pitiful people in this world? Does that mean every pitiful person can be like this family, lying to others at will? Anyway, according to you, I'm pitiful and therefore I'm right, right?
We're not saying this family is pitiful or that they're justified, but we feel this younger sister is a bit too cold-blooded.
Anyway, I think this sister is right. Things are things, and you can't generalize!
[Come on, this woman is heartless. That little girl was so pitiful; her hands were as thin as sticks, she was obviously seriously ill, but this woman wasn't moved at all. Is it wrong to call her heartless?]
On the live chat, those who supported Ye Mo and those who thought she was cold-blooded immediately started arguing.
By this time, the number of viewers in the live stream had already reached a significant number, jumping from five figures to six figures. Especially now, with the situation becoming more conflict-ridden, the number of viewers in the live stream was changing rapidly.
Many people who heard the news rushed to watch the spectacle and expressed their opinions, causing Wu Youyou's live stream to become incredibly popular. It quickly climbed to the top of their platform's real-time live stream rankings, which in turn attracted even more viewers to the live stream.
While watching the commotion, Wu Youyou inadvertently glanced at the number of viewers in her live stream and was so shocked that she almost couldn't catch her breath.
[I'm rich! I'm rich!] That was the only thought in her mind, and she tried her best to move the camera towards Ye Mo.
She realized that this young lady was the key figure in this matter. She had an air of absolute authority that made everyone want to listen to her, and what she said was truly brilliant, every word of which made perfect sense.
In Wu Youyou's opinion, she agreed more with the other party's point of view: no matter how pitiful you are, it is not a reason to lie.
However, Wu Youyou knew that it was best not to express any opinion right now. After all, the viewers in her live stream were already arguing about this issue, and if she expressed her opinion, the opposing group would definitely criticize her.
So now all she has to do is be an emotionless live-streaming machine.
After Ye Mo Ye Mo said those words, the atmosphere at the scene fell silent for a moment.
Ye Mo appeared exceptionally cold and ruthless at this moment. Shen Yan covered his face with his hand, his expression extremely bleak: he knew things would turn out this way; Ye Mo was just that kind of person.
She knew the family was pitiful, but that wouldn't change her principles. However, her actions were difficult for the public to accept; people would think she was cold-blooded. After all, most people are emotional beings and instinctively tend to side with the weaker party.
Ye Mo was aware of this, yet he still did it anyway.
"But Miss Ye, this family is really pitiful..." someone among those who came with them couldn't help but say.
Ye Mo looked at Li Kui and asked, "You think so too? You feel sorry for this family?"
"..." Li Kui had a premonition that if he dared to say yes, Miss Ye would probably turn around and leave, and would not want to talk to him about this matter anymore, so he instinctively chose to shake his head.
"No," he said immediately, "They're pitiful, but I was scammed out of 80,000 yuan, I'm pitiful too."
His expression was puzzled, as if he were genuinely asking, "Just because I don't have a sick child or a sick mother, does that mean I deserve to be scammed? Does that mean I'm not pitiful for being scammed?"
Wow!
Li Kui's words were a fatal blow. Those who had just thought Ye Mo was unreasonable and cold-blooded were instantly silenced.
Yes, this family is pitiful, but isn't the young man who was scammed also pitiful?
Ye Mo glanced at Li Kui in agreement. She had just been thinking that if Li Kui thought the same way, then she wouldn't get involved anymore. After all, although she was the one who exposed the matter, ultimately, Li Kui being deceived had nothing to do with her.
She only spoke up because Li Kui was a "colleague." If even he felt sorry for the family and thought her insisting on asking for money was cold-blooded, then she had no reason to meddle any longer.
Fortunately, although Li Kui was clumsy with words and honest, his brain hadn't gone astray as the others.
Upon seeing this, Hong Youtian's eyes flickered for a moment, and then the next second, he said, "I really can't repay this money. I've already converted all those items into cash to pay for my daughter's surgery!"
"So, go ahead and call the police." With a look of heroic sacrifice, he cried to his wife and children, "Wife, Cancan... after I'm arrested by the police, you two must take good care of yourselves, especially Cancan. Can Can Cancan a heart condition, wife, you must take good care of her, you must raise the money for her surgery, so she can become a healthy child!"
Woman: "... Waaah, honey, I will. Even if I have to beg on the streets, I will prepare the money for Cancan's surgery."
"Wife..."
"Husband!"
Watching the couple's impressive performance, Ye Mo suddenly felt a sense of suspicion. She said to 888, "[888, can you check if there's anything else going on with this family...]"
As Gossip System, 888 needs to perform checks and searches to find out about someone's gossip, but it hasn't checked this family of three yet.
Upon hearing Ye Mo's words, 888 immediately replied: [Okay... The Gossip System is detecting!]
In the silent testing, a few seconds later, a familiar voice, like a UC scam headline, echoed in Ye Mo's mind, "[Wow, why a couple committing fraud? The reason is so heartbreaking!]"
Ye Mo: [...] Although it wasn't the first time she'd heard it, she still felt uncomfortable every time she heard it.
[Hiss, host!] 888 suddenly spoke, its tone shocked: [This family...]
After hearing 888's words, Ye Mo's calm and composed gaze gradually stirred. A few seconds later, she walked to Niu Guangping's side and whispered, "Mr. Niu, take a closer look at that woman, Hong Youtian's wife. Does she look familiar?"
Upon hearing this, Niu Guangping looked at Ye Mo in surprise, " Miss Ye, how did you know? This woman looks familiar to me?"
He stroked his chin and said, "To be honest, I feel like I've seen this woman somewhere before, but I can't quite remember where... Maybe I bumped into her on the street?"
