Chapter 74: The Abstract Livestream Room

"My family... my family..." The moment it came to the specifics of where the money had gone, the caller on the line began to stammer uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Jiang Yun let out a cold laugh. "Look at you—clearly you squandered the money out of your own greed, and now that things have gone wrong, you’re in a panic, trying to pin the blame on your family. Have you no shame at all?"

"No, Brother Yun, I... I..." The caller seemed eager to protest, but the real reason never left his lips.

Jiang Yun pressed on with biting sarcasm. "Here’s what we’ll do. I won’t even ask you to say where the money went. Just turn on your camera and, in front of over three hundred thousand viewers in this stream, repeat everything you just told me. If you do that, I’ll lend you the money. Do you dare?"

"I... I..." The caller was still hesitating, his words stuck in his throat, which left the viewers in the live chat speechless.

"It’s obvious he spent all the money himself and doesn’t dare tell his family, so he’s here trying to scam Brother Yun."

"Brother Yun’s move is ruthless—if the guy dares to show his face, the whole internet will know who he is, and his family will definitely deal with him."

"Knowing Brother Yun’s style, even if the guy went on camera, he wouldn’t lend him a cent."

"If it’s Brother Yun, I wouldn’t put it past him!"

"..."

Reading the barrage of comments, the caller grew even more fearful of showing his face.

Because Jiang Yun had guessed the truth.

The money was spent entirely by him.

Back then, he was sure the other party was involved in something illegal, so he thought he’d never be found out and dared to spend the money. Who could have predicted that the other party would get caught? Now, if he didn’t return the money, he’d be charged with theft himself. Afraid to tell his family, he came to Jiang Yun, trying to guilt-trip him into helping.

After all, everyone knew Jiang Yun wasn’t short on cash—a single tip from him could be tens or even hundreds of thousands.

He never imagined Jiang Yun wouldn’t just refuse, but would also expose him in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers.

"Kid, even if you pay the money back, you won’t escape the charge of being an accomplice in a money-laundering ring. The fact that you dared spend that money already proves you knew exactly what was going on. Rather than borrowing, you’d be better off having a real conversation with your family. Try to reform yourself while you’re inside. I hope you’ll still be able to call in to my stream after you get out. Goodbye."

Not wanting to waste more time, Jiang Yun ended the call after a couple more mocking remarks.

From the moment the guy dared to spend those three hundred thousand, Jiang Yun was certain he knew exactly what he was doing.

But he did it anyway.

Since he made that choice, he had to bear the legal consequences.

People like that deserved no sympathy. If it wasn’t just to fill the stream, Jiang Yun wouldn’t have bothered with him at all.

Glancing at the chat, Jiang Yun spotted a few interesting questions.

"Brother Yun, if he’d turned on his camera, would you really have lent him the money?"

"What if he actually did turn on his camera?"

"You never planned to lend him money from the start, did you?"

"......"

Seeing these questions, Jiang Yun grinned and replied, "Some of you are asking if I ever intended to lend him money. Let me be perfectly clear: No! I said from the very beginning, I won’t lend money to anyone. Telling me your sob stories, trying to guilt-trip me—it’s all useless. I’ve said this so many times, and still he came to me. Isn’t that just making things difficult for me? Since he was making things difficult, why should I pity him? Even if he’d turned on his camera just now, I wouldn’t have lent him anything. I was just toying with him~"

With that, Jiang Yun flashed a mischievous, roguish grin at the camera.

"Damn, that’s really Brother Yun for you—what a rascal!"

"I’ve noticed something funny: when the callers are normal, Brother Yun acts strange; when Brother Yun is normal, the callers are weird!"

"There always has to be something off about either Brother Yun or his callers!"

"Exactly—the first caller, the rich lady, was normal, but Brother Yun started acting odd. Then, when he was normal, he got matched with that eccentric civil engineering guy and now the notorious borrower."

"This is an abstract stream—someone’s always keeping things weird!"

"..."

Reading the chat’s "abstract theory," Jiang Yun’s mouth twitched.

He wanted to argue.

But... he didn’t know where to start.

Because... it seemed to be the truth...

Between him and his callers, there always seemed to be something odd in the mix.

"Ahem!" Jiang Yun cleared his throat and said, "Come on, don’t say that! This is a perfectly normal stream; there’s nothing weird going on! Here’s what I’ll do: I’ll act perfectly normal, and pick a normal fan to call in. I refuse to believe I don’t have any normal fans!"

Jiang Yun decided to prove to his audience that both he and his stream were perfectly above board.

He spent a long time carefully selecting, finally choosing a caller whose profile picture was a pink Hello Kitty.

He accepted the connection and, in his most normal tone, greeted, "Hello, can you hear me?"

The caller seemed to be adjusting her headset, so for a moment all Jiang Yun heard was a soft static.

Fortunately, the sound wasn’t too harsh, so Jiang Yun could tolerate it.

He called out again, "Hello, can you hear me?"

This time, she replied.

"Yes, I can hear you. Brother Yun, can you hear me?"

Her voice was gentle and sweet, sounding for all the world like a perfectly normal person.

"Hello, is there something you wanted to talk about?" Jiang Yun did his best to respond in a calm, normal voice.

This time, he was determined to present a picture of himself and his callers as perfectly ordinary people!

"Um... it’s like this, Brother Yun. I have a question about relationships that I wanted to ask you."

"A... relationship question?" Jiang Yun’s mouth twitched.

It wasn’t that he wanted to react this way—it was just... he couldn’t help himself!

After all, out of every ten people who came to his stream to talk about relationships, nine were there to mess around, and the last one was a true oddity!

To actually present a normal scene seemed almost impossible.

"What’s wrong, Brother Yun? Is that not okay?" the female caller asked softly.

Hearing this, Jiang Yun took a deep breath. "It’s fine, go ahead. Let me hear what your issue is."

Hearing this, the woman began softly, "Well, it’s like this..."
