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

21: Fans being bullied at schoolI... I’ve been bullied for a long time. At school. They steal my money, rip up my homework, and lock me in the bathroom... I told the teacher, but the teacher only criticized them a few times, and it was useless. I don’t dare tell my parents; they’re very busy with work, and I don’t want to worry them. Brother Ze, I really don’t know what to do anymore. Going to school every day is like going to hell... I can’t hold on much longer.

Even through the screen, this message seemed to radiate a thick sense of despair and helplessness.

The last trace of ease vanished from Zhang Ze’s face. His eyes instantly turned cold.

School bullying!

The deceit and trickery of the adult world at least wore a superficial cloak of ’rules.’

But the bullying in schools was the most naked and pure form of malice, building one person’s happiness upon another’s pain and fear.

This was the damn thing that truly needed to be ’Pingshi’ (settled)!

Zhang Ze’s fingers flew across the phone screen as he typed a reply.

[Brother Pingshi]: [Send me the evidence of you being beaten, the chat logs where they threatened you, or anything else that proves you’ve been bullied.]

He was direct because he knew that for someone trapped in despair, hollow comfort was meaningless; only swift and decisive action offered the sole redemption.

The reply was almost instantaneous.

The other party sent a photo. It showed a young arm covered in shocking purple and blue pinch marks and bruises.

Following that were several screenshots of chat logs.

In a chat group named ”Senior Class 2 Big Brother Protection Group,” several arrogant IDs were chatting.

[Brother Long Mighty]: [@ A Cloud in the Corner Remember to bring one hundred yuan tomorrow. I just saw a new skin I want.]

[Monkey]: [Hahaha, Brother Long, what if he doesn’t give it to you?]

[Brother Long Mighty]: [Then it’s the usual—make him sing ”Conquer” in the bathroom.]

[Little Fatty]: [Boss Yun, did you hear that? If you don’t bring the money tomorrow, we’ll help loosen up your bones.]

Looking at these disgusting chat logs and the lonely, tagged ID, A Cloud in the Corner, Zhang Ze’s temples pulsed violently.

The Master Thunder Dragon who previously wanted to turn him into a duet was merely a clown and a joke in his eyes.

But these scumbags right now, who lorded it over others in school and took pleasure in bullying the weak, were the true trash that made him feel disgusted to his core!

Zhang Ze took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.

Going to dismantle Thunder Dragon’s stage on Saturday was for showmanship, for fame, and for making money.

But this matter now had nothing to do with fame or profit.

[Brother Pingshi]: [School name, Senior Class 2, right?]

[A Cloud in the Corner]: [Yes... it’s City Third Middle School. Brother Ze, are you... are you really going to handle it? They... they said they know people from the outside world, and they’re very vicious.]

The reply carried a sliver of hope, but more than that, fear.

Fear that Zhang Ze wouldn’t help, and fear that if Zhang Ze did, he would suffer even more brutal retaliation.

People from the outside world?

Zhang Ze sneered.

In his eyes, a bunch of high school students who relied on numbers to bully classmates, and the so-called ”people from the outside world” they mentioned, were essentially two sides of the same coin—cowardly bullies who preyed on the weak.

Just then, the familiar electronic voice suddenly rang out in his mind!

[Ding! Detected a special request for help: School bullying, involving threats from external criminal forces.]

[Emergency Mission Issued: [Light of Dawn]!]

[Mission Objective: Completely resolve the school bullying incident experienced by A Cloud in the Corner, clean out the bullies, intimidate the ”people from the outside world” behind them, and ensure the victim’s future safety at school.]

[Mission Reward: Permanent social identity: Youth Rights Protection Center - Special Investigator (Can be activated or hidden at any time), 20,000 fan favor value!]

[Mission Hint: The Special Investigator identity has been temporarily activated for the Host. Relevant electronic documents and files have been generated, and all procedures are legal and compliant. Please use the identity appropriately, and act with thunderous force in the name of justice!]

Zhang Ze’s eyes instantly lit up.

Permanent social identity? Special Investigator?

This thing was far more practical than any martial arts skills or Eagle Eye Vision!

He had previously worried that as a Streamer, constantly ”roaring when seeing injustice” made him seem unjustified and easily mistaken for a troublemaking loafer. With this identity, everything changed!

The next time he went to ”Pingshi” (settle things), he would have a righteous cause, representing justice!

”System, you’re truly my thoughtful little cotton jacket!” Zhang Ze rejoiced internally.

He glanced at the calendar. Today was Thursday. Tomorrow was Friday, and those little brats would definitely be at school.

This matter could be resolved in a single day, and it wouldn’t affect his plan to crash Thunder Dragon’s venue on Saturday at all.

Perfect!

Zhang Ze no longer hesitated and immediately replied to A Cloud in the Corner.

[Brother Pingshi]: [Don’t be afraid. You don’t have to do anything; just go to school as usual tomorrow. Stand up straight. If the sky falls, your Brother will hold it up for you.]

After sending this message, he closed the private chat and opened Note’s video recording function.

This time, the playful grin and the sleepy laziness on his face vanished without a trace.

”Brothers, I just received a private message backstage from a fan, a younger brother who is still in high school.”

”He is suffering severe school bullying—being extorted, beaten, and humiliated. Asking the teacher for help yielded very little result. Opening up to his parents, he was afraid of worrying them.”

”I looked at the photos and chat logs he sent me, and right now... I am extremely angry.”

He paused.

”Before, when everyone watched my stream, some were there for fun, some were watching the show, and some accused me of stirring up trouble. But today’s matter has no script, no jokes, only one thing—Pingshi (settling things).”

”I didn’t earn the name ’Brother Pingshi’ for nothing. Some things, if no one handles them, I will!”

He raised his phone, faced the camera, and announced firmly:

”Tomorrow is Friday, and I will be making a trip to City Third Middle School. I will stream live as I walk into that school, find those so-called ’big Brothers,’ and have a good ’chat’ with them in front of everyone.”

”I will make them, and everyone who is either suffering or perpetrating bullying, clearly see what rules are, and what consequences mean!”

At the end of the video, Zhang Ze’s lips curled into a cold arc.

”Tomorrow at 9 AM, in my Streamer room, I’ll see you there.”

The video was posted.

A single stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The fans who had been wildly memeing under the hashtag ”#ProtectOur Showy Brother Ze#” just a second ago instantly quieted down after seeing the video.

A few seconds later, the comment section completely exploded!

”Holy crap! Brother Ze is serious! His aura is completely different from that Lone Boat from last night!”

”Support Brother Ze! School bullying is the damn cancer of society! Kill those little bastards!”

”City Third Middle School? I graduated from there! The atmosphere at that school really isn’t great! Brother Ze is awesome! I’m taking the day off tomorrow to watch your stream!”

”This is the real Brother Pingshi! This is why we follow you! Go get them! We are your strongest support!”

The Ze Family Army, who had just been immersed in gossip and a humorous atmosphere, had all their sense of justice and rage instantly ignited at that moment.

A surging storm of public opinion, centered around the Brother Pingshi account, roared toward City Third Middle School.
