Chapter 75: Live-Stream Room

When the netizens realized that Liu Jun had come up with such a live-stream title, their first reaction was of course that he was doing some negative hype again.

After all, in the past, Liu Jun would even do things like fighting over bottles with old people who collected scraps for a living as well as playing pranks on beggars for his live-streams. The topics he chose were without any moral limits.

However, the situations during those times were turned around in the end. Liu Jun and the old man competed to see who could pick up more bottles. In the end, all of the money earned from selling the bottles were given to the old man. Although he pranked a beggar, it was eventually exposed that the beggar was a swindler who pretended to be disabled to beg.

From the final results, Liu Jun didn’t cause any social damage, but many people still find this to be very shameless and disliked him for using various vulgar topics to gain site traffic.

Therefore, Liu Jun had always been an Internet celebrity with a mixed reputation. When netizens who were paying attention to Liu Jun saw the title of his latest live-stream, they thought that it was just another vulgar publicity stunt. Some of them even thought that Liu Jun had written a vulgar script for a story like “A middle-aged woman suffers revenge after cheating on her husband.”

As the live broadcast went on for a long time, the audience realized that Liu Jun hadn’t spoken at all during the entire time. Instead, he had used a kind of peeping perspective to crawl into his neighbor’s courtyard. Only then did the audience realize that things weren’t that simple.

A small sports camera was connected to the live-stream. The netizens saw pairs of feet moving back and forth through the gap in the curtain and could vaguely hear the conversation between a group of men and a woman in the room.

The live broadcast this time was not as the netizens had imagined. Liu Jun did not arrange for a middle-aged woman who got into an extramarital affair because she couldn’t stand the loneliness, and then her husband or lover ended up taking revenge on her. Instead, she was kidnapped for money.

At first, the netizens thought that the kidnapping plot was fake too. They all sent out mocking comments.

“Liu Jun, how many extras did you hire this time? It must have burst your budget, right?”

“It looks quite realistic. I heard the sounds of someone getting hit and that woman kept crying too. It gave me goosebumps.”

“Don’t you guys think that this is a real kidnapping? In the past, those live-streams that Liu Jun made with scripts were always fake and boring. This time, just looking at the feet of those people walking back and forth feels very real…”

However, when the netizens heard that the kidnappers had asked for a ransom of 500 million yuan, they were almost certain that this wasn’t a real kidnapping.

After all, the kidnappers were not stupid. Why would they ask for such a high ransom? If they had kidnapped those wealthy people who were worth billions, it would be fine. However, looking at the environment of this courtyard through the camera, it was clear that it was a family with moderate or even low income.

It was weird to ask for a ransom of 500 million yuan from such a family unless the kidnappers’ accounts were from the hell bank.

The atmosphere in the live-stream suddenly became relaxed. The netizens cursed Liu Jun from time to time, wanting him to come out and speak. Some netizens also felt that the angle that Liu Jun had filmed from this time was quite interesting to be able to make such a fake plot look as if it was real.

Just as the netizens were discussing fervently, a new commotion appeared in the camera. With a dull thud, the netizens could see a woman fall to the ground through the gap in the curtain.

The woman was tightly tied to the chair. She struggled but could not move at all. As she struggled, the netizens also saw her face clearly.

This was indeed a beautiful woman. Liu Jun’s description of her as “still charming” was simply an insult to her. Although there were traces of age at the corners of her eyes, no one could say that this woman was old…

Time had loved her so much that her skin was still fair, her hair still black and thick, and her eyes as lively as a young girl’s… However, her beauty had been destroyed by violence. There was a wound on her forehead, and red blood flowed onto her face. Her hair was pulled into a mess, and her eyes were filled with tears of pain and despair…

Although she was tightly tied up and knew that she was wasting her energy, the woman continued to put up a struggle.

At this moment, the live-stream room was silent. After a long while, someone tried typing this, “It doesn’t seem to be an act. Should we call the police?”

“Let’s call the police. I vaguely heard the kidnappers say that they were going to kill her and her daughter.”

“That can’t be. Even if this kidnapping is real, I don’t believe that there will be a murder case…”

“Let’s not take any chances. I’ve already called the police. If it’s true, the police will go and save the hostage. If it’s fake, then let the police lock Liu Jun up and teach this shameless guy a lesson!”

All the viewers in the live-stream agreed to call the police. The police also received several calls.

The police were more alert and discerning than the audiences in the live-stream. Although they also felt that the 500 million yuan ransom made this kidnapping seem like a joke, they didn’t dare to take any chances and immediately took action.

Huo Tian was wearing an earphone. Si Huan had been paying attention to the situation in the live-stream and was reporting the situation to Huo Tian through the earphone.
