Livestream Conflict-solver: The Whole Internet Begs Me for Justice!

6: Who’s in favor? Who’s against?As Zhang Ze quickly walked towards Binjiang Residential Area, he mentally scanned the bullet screen and explained, ”It’s a high-tech thing, quite convenient. The situation is urgent, so I’ll make a long story short. A fan was scammed, and before his phone was confiscated, he sent a final distress signal. The address is Building 13, Apartment 402, Binjiang Residential Area. I’m going there now to check out the situation.”

The bullet screen instantly exploded.

”Brother Ze is awesome! But it’s too dangerous! Call the police quickly!”

”There’s no evidence for the police. If they come, they can’t just rush in, and it might even harm that fan! Brother Ze is going in as a scout to get firsthand evidence!”

”I’m numb. One second I’m watching the Streamer flirting with a female fan, the next second he’s going to bust a pyramid scheme den? This live stream is too exciting!”

”It’s over, it’s over, I feel like I’m going to witness history tonight!”

”Streamer, please be careful! Those pyramid scheme people are crazy!”

Soon, Zhang Ze found Building 13 of Binjiang Residential Area.

This was an old residential building, without even an access control system.

Carrying the ”takeaway,” he walked up the dim staircase, step by step, to the fourth floor.

The door to 402 was an old-fashioned security door, with a faded ”Fu” character pasted on it.

Zhang Ze pressed his ear against the door and could faintly hear passionate slogans mixed with enthusiastic applause coming from inside, like a mobilization meeting.

”Get rich! Get rich! Towards the peak of life!”

”Thank you, President Wang! Thank you, President Li!”

This was the place.

In the live stream, over five thousand viewers held their breath, the bullet screen thinned out considerably, and everyone stared nervously at the screen.

Zhang Ze took a deep breath and, facing the air, said in a voice only he could hear:

”Brothers, takeaway, mission accomplished.”

He adjusted his expression, making himself look like a tired and slightly impatient delivery boy.

Then, he raised his hand and forcefully knocked on the door of 402.

”Dong! Dong! Dong!”

”Who is it?” A wary male voice came from inside the door.

Zhang Ze cleared his throat and shouted in an impatient tone, ”Shaxian takeaway! Building 13, 402, someone named ’lost lamb,’ whose meal is this? Hurry up and get it!”

There was silence inside the door for two seconds, then an extremely wary voice sounded.

”What lost lamb? We don’t have anyone by that name here, and we didn’t order takeaway, you’ve delivered to the wrong place!”

With a ”click,” the door lock seemed to turn, but the door did not open.

The bullet screen in the live stream instantly filled up.

”Here it comes! The secret code matched!”

”Holy crap, this level of vigilance, it’s definitely a den of thieves!”

”I give Brother Ze’s acting full marks for this scene, the impatient tone is too real!”

Zhang Ze sneered inwardly, but his tone became even more impatient. He raised his hand and slammed on the door twice again with a ”clang clang.”

”Open the door! Don’t give me that! The address is Building 13, 402, and the last digits of the phone number are also yours. Are you trying to get a free meal? I’m telling you, delivery platforms all have records now, if you do this, I’ll get docked pay!”

His agitated and impatient shouting was clearly more deceptive than his simple inquiry just now.

The person inside the door seemed to hesitate.

A few seconds later, with a ”creak,” the old security door was pulled open a crack.

A sallow face peeked out from the crack in the door; it was a tall, thin man.

He scrutinized Zhang Ze up and down, his gaze falling on the ”Shaxian Hotel” plastic bag in his hand, his vigilance undiminished.

”I told you, we didn’t order takeaway, hurry up and leave!”

”Leave? If I leave, who pays for this order?” Zhang Ze pushed the bag containing mineral water forward, almost shoving it into the other person’s face. ”See for yourselves, is this the order? If you don’t open the door, I’m complaining!”

The moment he handed over the bag, he deliberately leaned forward, and through the crack in the door, the first-person live stream perspective captured everything inside the room.

There were no sofas, TVs, or other furniture in the living room; over twenty people, men, women, and children, sat densely on the floor, all seemingly brainwashed, intently watching a whiteboard on the front wall.

On the whiteboard, several lines of large characters were written in red marker: ”Sleep on the floor today, become a boss tomorrow!” ”Develop one downline, one step closer to success!”

A strong pyramid scheme vibe assailed him.

Zhang Ze’s gaze quickly swept over the crowd, and soon, he locked onto a target.

In the corner, a young man who looked only in his early twenties had a pale face and eyes filled with fear and despair.

When the young man’s gaze met Zhang Ze’s in the air, his body visibly trembled, and a glimmer of hope for survival burst forth in his eyes.

It must be him!

”Are you f***ing done or not!” The tall, thin man who opened the door was enraged by Zhang Ze’s ”unreasonable behavior,” and reached out to push him. ”Get out!”

His other hand went to close the door.

Zhang Ze was waiting for this opportunity!

”Brothers, record! Call the police! The address is Building 13, Apartment 402, Binjiang Residential Area. Say there’s a large pyramid scheme organization illegally detaining people, and I’m live streaming!”

As soon as he finished speaking, facing the pushing hand, Zhang Ze’s body seemed to stumble, and he took the opportunity to wedge his foot into the door crack.

”Hey! What are you doing! You’re hitting people now!” Zhang Ze shouted loudly, his voice loud enough for the entire floor to hear.

”You’re asking for death!” Seeing this, the tall, thin man completely lost his temper, and his other hand formed a fist, smashing directly towards Zhang Ze’s face.

The commotion also startled the people in the living room, and several burly men stood up, walking menacingly towards the doorway.

In the live stream, all the viewers’ hearts were in their throats.

”They’re fighting! They’re fighting!”

”Brother Ze, be careful! There are so many people inside!”

”I’ve called the police! I’ve already called the police!”

”Damn! It makes my fists clench!”

In a flash of lightning, facing the incoming fist, Zhang Ze’s eyes narrowed.

His body slightly shifted, seemingly narrowly dodging the punch, and at the same time, the leg wedged in the door crack suddenly exerted force.

”Bang!”

With a muffled thud, the heavy security door was forcefully kicked open by his leg!

The tall, thin man who opened the door was violently struck in the face by the door, his nose bleeding profusely, and he screamed as he fell backward, incidentally knocking down an accomplice who had just gathered behind him.

”Ah—!”

The sudden turn of events stunned everyone in the house.

”What’s going on!” A person who seemed to be the leader shouted sharply.

Zhang Ze didn’t give them time to react. He stepped into the room, slammed the door shut with a ”bang” behind him, and locked it!

This action left everyone in the live stream and in the room dumbfounded.

”?????”

”Holy crap! What kind of move is Brother Ze making? He rushed in and then locked the door?”

”Closing the door to beat the dog?!”

”Is he crazy? Now he can’t even run away if he wants to!”

The pyramid scheme members inside also reacted, their faces turning ferocious.

”Kid, who are you? How dare you cause trouble here!” The small leader, wearing a cheap suit and with slicked-back hair, pointed at Zhang Ze and roared.

Zhang Ze threw the ”Shaxian takeaway” he was holding onto the ground, and two bottles of mineral water rolled out.

He flexed his wrists, a friendly smile appearing on his face, as he surveyed the twenty-odd people in the room, all with varying expressions.

”Don’t be nervous, I’m not the police.”

He paused, then pointed to the trembling ”lost lamb” in the corner.

”I’m here to pick up my child. He’s naive and was tricked by you.”

”Now, I’m taking him away. Who agrees, who objects?”
