96: Chapter 96 Sanctioning Online Trolls

"Hahaha, this is killing me. I didn't expect Lin Heng to be this kind of person too. Those personas he built up before were probably just to scam the big spenders."

"Exactly! I advise everyone to keep their wits about them and not be easily fooled by someone!"

"This is definitely a scripted play for these two!"

"..."

The Water Army in the livestream room hammered away at their keyboards frantically, constantly trying to throw dirty water on Su Xueer and Lin Heng.

It was at this moment!

Countless comments emerged from below.

"Water Army above, stop causing trouble. Who says this is a script?"

"Our Dayang Shipping Company can testify to this! If anyone says this is dirty water, I will definitely track them down in real life!"

"Can people speak so recklessly on the internet now? Just you wait! Especially those few big Streamers, I've already remembered your IDs. Just wait to be dealt with offline!"

"..."

The employees of Dayang Shipping Company began a fierce counterattack.

However, this only further incited the anger of the Water Army.

Meanwhile...

...inside an underground office building.

A group of people of various ages, each with cigarettes dangling from their mouths and messy bedhead hair, dressed sloppily, looked at the changes on the screen and chuckled.

Just this...

...actually had the nerve to clash with them?

Track them down offline?

That's assuming you can find us!

That's right, this was the largest Water Army organization in Dragon Kingdom.

The people here had earned the title of 'Number One Internet Troll' since they were young. They had come here together just to showcase their talents to a certain extent.

These people could even trade insults with their colleagues after work.

As they looked at the words from Dayang Shipping Company on the screen, a contemptuous smile played on their lips.

Did these people really think they were qualified to go head-to-head with them?

"Go, tell the brothers to spam twenty thousand comments saying Dayang Shipping Company is suspected of smuggling. Let's see how much longer they can stay arrogant!"

"You got it!"

...

And so, the public opinion in the livestream room began to shift to a certain extent.

Although Dayang Shipping Company had provided Lin Heng with a lot of evidence at the beginning and even helped to a certain degree, the vast majority of netizens still had their eyes clouded by the internet Water Army.

This...

"While this evidence is real, doesn't it also suggest that Dayang Shipping Company might be involved in smuggling? And couldn't that lead to criminal activity?"

"Are they actually just birds of a feather with Mr. Lin?"

"It's too chaotic. Can a professional come and explain this?"

Everyone felt their heads spinning, not quite knowing what was going on with these people...

...they didn't even know what the actual truth was anymore...

But Lin Heng wasn't going to indulge them.

He directly called the Longan Bureau.

Since this Water Army was so arrogant, Lin Heng no longer had any reservations!

"Hello..."

Lin Heng quickly got through to Long Anyou, the Director of the Longan Bureau.

After the other party answered, he was naturally all smiles and kindness.

Lin Heng spoke in a flat tone.

"Are you aware of what's happening in Su Xueer's livestream room?"

"Ah, what?"

"Wait a moment..."

Long Anyou thought something major had happened, so he quickly had his subordinates enter Su Xueer's livestream.

His subordinates were quite efficient; they reached Su Xueer's livestream room with just two keystrokes.

This made Long Anyou suspect whether this guy usually watched Su Xueer's streams...

The subordinate scratched his head awkwardly.

"Director, it's all here."

Long Anyou didn't care about that right then. He nodded quickly, and as soon as he looked up, he noticed the scenes on the screen.

The viewers in the livestream room were denouncing Lin Heng and Su Xueer one after another.

They believed the two were faking it and that it was a pure script.

This gave Long Anyou a fright.

Good grief, how could this be a script??

If this was a script, Long Anyou would eat the screen!

Then, Long Anyou quickly discovered where the problem lay.

The Water Army!

They were intentionally throwing dirty water here.

Long Anyou understood the situation immediately.

Then, he immediately replied to Lin Heng.

"I have a general idea of the situation. How do you want to deal with them?"

Ordinary internet trolls wouldn't reach this level of intensity, which could only mean the other party was a professional Water Army.

Although people who spread bad vibes online couldn't really be dealt with severely—it was usually just a small punishment as a warning...

However!

These people were clearly a standard Water Army!

Even if individual punishments were small, they would add up!

By the time they got out of jail, they would be much more well-behaved. They probably wouldn't dare touch this stuff again for the rest of their lives.

With that kind of typing speed, they'd be better off being stenographers.

Facing Long Anyou's inquiry, Lin Heng's eyes were indifferent.

He glanced at the bullet chat in the livestream room and then said in a flat tone:

"Water Army in the livestream room, I don't know whose money you've taken, but I advise you to stop doing these bad things..."

"If you delete the things on your hard drives now, it might help reduce your sentence by a couple of years. Otherwise, once the Cyber Police track you down through your network cables in a moment, you'll lose control of your own fate..."

Lin Heng's words clearly made the Water Army in the livestream room freeze for a moment.

One could notice that the bullet chat seemed to pause for a split second.

But it was only for a split second.

At this moment, instead of restraining themselves, they began to intensify their efforts.

"Hahaha, this is hilarious!"

"Who the hell do you think you are? You think you can do something to us just by making a random phone call?"

"If that were true, I don't know how many times I would have gone to jail!"

"Idiots are born every year, but there are especially many today. Do you think it's like earlier, where netizens would believe whatever you said?"

"We already said it's a script. Netizens, just watch, Lin Heng and the others won't be able to hold out much longer before ending the stream."

"Believe me, this Lin Heng will definitely be jumping with rage in a moment!"

"..."

The Water Army in the livestream room occupied half the space, bringing the atmosphere to a dangerous point.

If it were a psychologically fragile Streamer, they would probably be crying from the insults and forced to end the stream by now.

But Lin Heng was clearly not a fragile person.

He took a deep breath and picked up his phone.

The call hadn't been hung up yet.

"Director Long, you should have seen it. These people are so rampant; it's time to clean them up."

Long Anyou didn't say much.

He had already started having people track the addresses of those IDs, while simultaneously dispatching local police to begin making arrests.

In recent years, the Water Army had been rampant, and cyber violence was widespread.

If it were an individual, it would be one thing, but if it was an organization...

...an iron fist must be applied!
