Chapter 23: Another version of the story! Kindness with an edge! (Edited, available upon re-download)
The current developments have somewhat exceeded Ye Yinchuan's expectations.
I thought this Lippi was just a little liar, a little rascal, with a sister and brother, and the story of the little dragon and the caterpillar, all made up by him.
But unexpectedly, he actually had an older sister?
Is this what it means to find inspiration in life?
Judging from the way the older sister is crying her eyes out and standing up for her younger brother, their relationship seems quite good, even giving the impression that... there's more to the story?
Could it be that……
Ye Yinchuan dared not make any rash judgments at this moment.
After all, if the other party really has something to hide, and you insist on being unreasonable, you will end up being the bad guy.
But if the other party's acting skills are superb and they pull off a play within a play, and you foolishly fall for it again, then you'll probably be stuck with the "pig broadcaster" label for life.
"Young lady, don't be hasty. Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Ye Yinchuan decided to play it safe for now and test the waters.
[It's made the streamer lose confidence!]
The internet is full of truths and lies; who can truly distinguish between them?
"Young ladies, if you can explain yourselves clearly, the uncles from the Dream Protection Bureau might not come to arrest you. But remember, confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely. Don't lie again!"
After Ye Yinchuan comforted her several times and patiently guided her, the little girl finally stopped panicking and crying.
"Actually, it's like this..."
So there's another version of this story?
That's interesting.
The viewers in the live stream were like little stools filled with melon seeds and peanuts, just waiting to watch the drama unfold.
"My brother said a lot of things, and it's all true. He likes live streaming, and he came up with this idea for me. But he didn't mean to lie to you; he just wanted to choose a better Caterpillar... for me."
What on earth is going on?
This is Chinese, but I can't understand it.
After all, the other party is just a little girl who is about to enter junior high school, so isn't she just an elementary school student?
Having been frightened again, his speech was somewhat disorganized.
After listening, Ye Yinchuan tried hard to organize his thoughts and piece together the general information.
"So, you mean... it's true that your parents favored boys over girls? And that the differential treatment between Charmander and Caterpie was also true? Your brother likes watching live streams, so he thought of using a live stream to seek help from the streamer?"
The little girl nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking at rice; that was exactly what she meant.
At this moment, Ye Yinchuan took into account the surrounding environment.
This family certainly didn't look wealthy. The little boy's clothes were relatively new, while the little girl's clothes were obviously old and even ill-fitting.
Based on this, what the other party said is true.
[Don't fall for these pig-streaming scams!]
[I think it's real; how could a child have such good acting skills?]
[To the person upstairs: Kids these days mature very early; they know everything.]
I can't tell the difference, I really can't!
At this point, the comments section was roughly divided into two camps.
[Anchor Ye, the IP address has been locked. If we're still unsure, we'll send someone over to investigate, and the truth will be revealed.]
A staff member from Mengbao Bureau sent me a private message.
Ye Yinchuan thought for a moment and replied:
[If possible, please wait. Your in-person visit is too intimidating for a child. If it can be resolved online, there's no need for you to make the trip.]
Ultimately, Ye Yinchuan was too soft-hearted and had too much empathy.
If everything the little girl said is true, and they're already this scared online, what would they be like if Uncle Hat from the Dream Protection Bureau really came to their door?
Moreover, what if their parents found out...
The little boy is spoiled and pampered, but his older sister is likely to get a scolding, or even a beating!
"Okay, so you mean I should pick a caterpillar? But there seems to be only one caterpillar here?"
Ye Yinchuan pressed for an answer.
He planned to investigate the details, just like in the beginning. If it really was a lie, then if he was careful, he would most likely be able to find the flaws.
[So meticulous! The host is incredibly meticulous!]
[The Treasure Hunter Di Renjie!]
"By the way, you guys shouldn't appear on camera anymore."
Ye Yinchuan pointed out that this is to protect the privacy of minors, and the platform also requires this.
Although his appearance on camera was accidental, he will suffer if someone reports it.
In severe cases, the live stream room may be banned.
"Host, the other caterpillars are here."
At this moment, the little boy took control of the camera again, and the camera began to move, entering a small room.
When I opened the door, it really was full of green caterpillars, all wriggling around, clinging to the leaves and nibbling, some even spinning silk.
This appears to be a rudimentary caterpillar breeding base.
Well, calling it a cabin might be a more accurate description.
[I've reported this; it's causing me physical discomfort!]
A single green caterpillar is cute enough, but so many... ugh!
This looks like a privately owned farm; the environment is rather poor.
"Hey buddy, if you guys don't like Caterpillars, please don't report my stream!"
Ye Yinchuan was both amused and exasperated; he had no choice but to respond to the comments.
"Okay, I have a question. If everything is true, why did your brother lie instead of telling the truth?"
Having verified one detail, Ye Yinchuan continued to probe.
"Because my sister is too socially anxious. There's a strong preference for boys over girls in our family, and my sister has always been insecure. She's afraid to speak in front of the camera because she stutters. So I'm the only one who can do it. Some streamers ignore me as soon as they see I'm a kid, or when they know I'm a guy. I have no choice..."
[Tsk tsk, so that's how it is.]
[Sigh, in today's live streaming environment, it's rare to find streamers with such genuine energy!]
Ye Yinchuan remained silent for a moment.
Based on his understanding of the live stream, he was certain that what the boy said was true. Considering the little girl's behavior just now, calling it social anxiety wouldn't be wrong.
"I understand. Your sister is really brave. She's clearly afraid of the camera, but she still stood up for you. You, her brother, are also quite remarkable. Preferring boys to girls might have its advantages for you. But you're considering your sister's feelings..."
[6. The streamer is still too naive!]
I'm afraid that if the streamer does a few more live streams, they'll get scammed and lose everything!
[Haha, your minds are so dark. I support the streamer!]
"What I just said, my wealthy friend, was indeed a scam, so don't even think about it. Besides, since you were the one who lied first, I won't even give you a free appraisal, because I can't encourage you to lie."
Ye Yinchuan said calmly.
[The streamer is good.]
[Haha, this streamer knows how to have fun!]
Clearly, the little boy in the camera's view was very disappointed and felt extremely guilty.
Ye Yinchuan observed this and continued:
"I will identify the caterpillar for free, but definitely not for you, but for your sister. Also, to make sure I won't be fooled again, I will have the Dream Protection Bureau come to verify. If there is anything untrue, you can still confess now."
This is a great option!
Yes, if the Dream Protection Bureau intervenes, the scammers will be exposed!
"Brother streamer, I lied to you before, that was wrong of me, I sincerely apologize! But everything we're saying now is true!"
The little boy said earnestly.
"It's good that you've learned your lesson; go back to identifying the caterpillar."
Ye Yinchuan controlled the pace.
