The man in the black jacket. "..."

Everyone: "..."

Ye Mo stared intently at the man in the black jacket and said, "I not only know that the four of you are in cahoots, but I also know that you once killed a girl... The other three only cheated people out of money, but you cheated people out of both money and their hearts. You coaxed that girl into being with you, got her pregnant with your child, but you weren't willing to marry her!"

She said coldly, "That girl couldn't bear the strange looks she received, so she jumped off a building and committed suicide..."

"Nonsense, utter nonsense!" The man in the black jacket, his face drained of color, cried out. "You're slandering me!"

Ye Mo chuckled lightly and said coldly, "If I were truly slandering you, why are you so afraid? Besides, whether I'm slandering you or not, the police can easily find out with a simple investigation, can't they?"

The matter involved online fraud, and the amount was not small— Li Kui and Niu Guangping alone were swindled out of more than 100,000 yuan. As a result, Hong Youtian three unsurprisingly received a pair of silver handcuffs.

Next, the question arises about their daughter, Hong Cancan.

"... Cancan is definitely our daughter!" Before the police could even ask, Mei Yi blurted out, "I carried her for ten months and gave birth to her. Everyone in our hometown knows this. You can go ask them if you don't believe me."

Hong Youtian nodded vigorously, "Yes, many people saw my wife when she was pregnant..."

Ye Mo remained unmoved, saying, "Whether it is or not cannot be determined by just a few words from you. I think no amount of explanation can be as conclusive as a paternity test..."

A mocking smile crept across her face. "I don't think any biological parent would be so cruel to their own child."

As she spoke, she reached out again and lifted the girl's clothes, revealing the girl's injuries to the police officers.

Previously, everyone had only caught a glimpse of the girl and hadn't looked closely, only noticing that her waist and abdomen were covered in bruises and pinch marks. Now, upon closer inspection, they realized that these pinch marks on the child's waist and abdomen hadn't formed in a single day, but rather were a combination of new and old injuries.

Moreover, if there's such a large area of scarring on her waist and abdomen, what must the other parts of her body, hidden beneath her clothes, be like?

... This matter was something everyone felt they couldn't think about too much, because thinking about it made them feel heartbroken.

[I also don't think these two people are the child's biological parents. The child really does seem to have a heart condition, but that woman deliberately pinched her and made her cry uncontrollably, completely disregarding the possibility that the child might have a heart attack from crying. This is hardly something a biological parent would do! Even strangers wouldn't do such a thing!]

[Heh, maybe they deliberately wanted to cause the girl to have a heart attack? If the girl had a heart attack, who would dare to pursue the matter of their fraud?]

[Hiss, this is terrifying to think about. Do you think the purpose of this child might be for this? After all, the child has a heart condition and can die easily. If she dies, not only could the couple be exonerated from the fraud charge, but they might even be able to extort money from others...]

[... What you're saying is giving me goosebumps. Could this couple really be that cruel?]

Amidst the heated discussion in the live stream, Ye Mo calmed himself down and handed the child in his arms to one of the policewomen.

"There's a very high chance they aren't the child's biological parents. I hope you officers will investigate thoroughly and conduct a paternity test on the child," she said.

The policewoman nodded and carefully took the child from her. "We will."

The child was a little slow to react and seemed somewhat dazed. She wouldn't cry or fuss if it were someone else, but just stared blankly at Ye Mo. Seeing her like this, Ye Mo couldn't help but rub her head again. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked quite pleased.

Ye Mo and his colleagues gave their contact information to several police officers so that they could easily contact them if they needed their cooperation later.

After all this was done, the matter was temporarily settled. Hong Youtian three were taken away by the police, and Ye Mo and the others no longer needed to stay, so they left along with the crowd of onlookers.

Within the crowd, a figure moved stealthily, exuding an air of thievery.

Just then, 888's voice rang in Ye Mo's mind, saying: [Host, that girl at a 45-degree angle to you has started a live stream, and your identity has almost been exposed by her viewers.]

Upon hearing this, Ye Mo subconsciously lifted her eyelids and looked in the direction 888 had indicated, immediately spotting Wu Youyou holding her phone and taking pictures of her.

When Wu Youyou noticed that Ye Mo had noticed her, her expression became flustered and somewhat guilty. She stood there awkwardly, holding her phone, looking at Ye Mo expectantly.

She thought Ye Mo would come and cause her trouble, but to her surprise, he just glanced at her lightly, then pulled up his mask and left.

Wu Youyou:??!

She didn't come to her senses until Ye Mo and the others left.

After catching her breath, Wu Youyou ran back home and shouted to the viewers in the live stream, "Oh my god, that lady just glanced at me and startled me! I thought she was going to cause me trouble..."

She glanced at the live stream and found that everyone was sending comments she couldn't understand.

"What are you talking about? What Mo Bao?" she asked, bewildered.

At this moment, the live chat was flooded with screams of "Ahhh!" The screen was completely filled with "Ahhh!" text. Only when Wu Youyou asked her question did the live chat change:

[Host, that was Ye Mo! The celebrity Ye Mo!]

Wu Youyou: "...?? Huh?"

Ye Mo?

Is it the Ye Mo she's thinking of?

Once the viewers in the live stream snapped out of their daze, they began a heated discussion:

[There's no mistake, those eyes, I absolutely can't be wrong, such distinctive eyes, that's definitely my Mo Bao!]

[Waaaaah, I thought it looked a lot like him before—the height, the voice, everything—it's exactly the same as my Mo Bao! Now that I see the eyes, I can finally be sure, it really is my Mo Bao!]

[Wow, so that person wearing a mask and hat really is Ye Mo?]

[No fan could mistake their idol for someone else. The fact that Mo's fans are so excited means that person really is Ye Mo. But was Ye Mo really such a calm person? So many people believed that conman couple, yet she still stuck to her own opinion.]

[I hate it! I also want to get up close and personal with my Mo Bao! How come the streamer is so lucky!]

[Wait, Ye Mo said before that she could tell fortunes, could it be true?]

Once Ye Mo's alias was exposed, the popularity of Wu Youyou's live stream doubled. Although Ye Mo had already left, some of his fans who had heard the news still rushed to the scene.

Wu Youyou stared at the ever-increasing numbers, her expression dazed:... This incredible wealth, has it really fallen into her lap?

Also, was that woman really the big star Ye Mo?

Belatedly realizing her mistake, Wu Youyou felt a pang of regret—why hadn't she asked for an autograph?!

Chapter 73, the seventy-third melon: What kind of melon is it? It's the one you take seventy-three bites of...

Ye Mo was unaware that her online persona had been exposed by viewers in Wu Youyou's livestream. However, just to be on the safe side, she told Shen Yan about the livestream at the time.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan felt a jolt in his heart.

He dared not hope that Ye Mo would not be recognized by netizens. After all, fans are the most amazing creatures. Even if their favorite idol is fully disguised, they can still recognize them from a single strand of hair that is showing.
