I’ve Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show

Chen Xixi hung up immediately after she finished speaking.
Zheng He looked at the ended call, his face darkening instantly.
Han Qianyi hurriedly stepped forward and asked, “What did she say?”
Zheng He: “She said she’s the type who can watch others starve and take advantage of the situation, so she’s not moral, and to not morally kidnap her… What does she mean by that? Who’s kidnapping her?”
Why does Han Qianyi find these words vaguely familiar?
[Isn’t this what Han Qianyi implied about Chen Xixi before?]
[When was that? I don’t remember.]
[It was during the previous live Q&A session when Han Qianyi implied that Chen Xixi wouldn’t give Zheng He eggs to eat, and even wanted to charge him for them amidst the crisis.]
[Lol, Chen Xixi actually remembered this till now, and she threw those words right back at them, hahaha! That’s Chen Xixi for you!]
[Han Qianyi was just saying how kind Chen Xixi is, unable to bear seeing them sleep on the streets, but then Chen Xixi immediately refused to help them arrange accommodation, isn’t that too cold-blooded and ruthless?]
[What’s wrong with being cold-blooded and ruthless? Weren’t Zheng He and others cold-blooded when they drove Chen Xixi out? If Chen Xixi wasn’t lucky enough to end up in a five-star hotel, she would be sleeping on the streets too. I support Chen Xixi’s approach, she should just straight refuse Zheng He!]
Meanwhile, Han Qianyi suddenly remembered why these words sounded familiar, she bit her lip and fell silent for a long while.
The three who didn’t get into a five-star hotel could only leave in anger.
Han Qianyi and Wan Chen once again spent 168 yuan to book the same budget hotel as last night; while feeling financially pained, they thought enviously and jealously about Chen Xixi staying in a five-star hotel.
Zheng He shamelessly looked towards Han Qianyi, smiling as he spoke: “I have no place to stay now, and I’m out of money. Can you book a room for me too? Otherwise, I’ll have to sleep under a bridge again. There are so many mosquitoes there, and I haven’t washed my face or brushed my teeth all day… it’s really uncomfortable… Can you help me again…”
Zheng He, with his experience in begging during live broadcasts, was quite adept at playing the victim.
After some hesitation, Han Qianyi agreed, deciding to give Zheng He another chance.
Zheng He was delighted; he knew that with Han Qianyi around, he would definitely gain some advantage.
Zheng He, having been tricked by a scammer, was too afraid to sleep all night, so even after finally taking a comfortable bath, he still had trouble sleeping.
Damn that scammer, truly deserving of death!
After internally unleashing 99999+ curses, Zheng He finally fell asleep.
He woke up the next afternoon and the first thing he did was to call the police station to see if the scammer had been caught so he could get his over 5,000 yuan back.
However, the police said they hadn’t caught him yet, as they had tracked the fortune-teller’s movements through surveillance but then lost his trail in a bar.
Staff sent to investigate found that no one noticed the old man, he had disappeared without a trace.
As if he had suddenly evaporated.
Zheng He felt despair wash over him, but the police reassured him, “With technological information advancements nowadays, if he’s a citizen of Huaguo, he can’t escape. Don’t worry, capturing him is just a matter of time.”
It’s just a matter of time, but he worried that if it took too long, his over 5,000 yuan would be all spent by the scammer. What would the scammer pay him back with then?
Right after Zheng He finished the call, hotel staff came to his door to remind him that it was time to check out. Listlessly packing his things, he saw Han Qianyi and Wan Chen, also with their luggage, outside.
He asked, “Why aren’t you extending your stay?”
Han Qianyi replied, “What if we find a better place? Let’s stay day by day and see.”
In the afternoon, Zheng He finally received news from the police station and immediately went there.
The officer led him to the office, handed him a cup of water, and then spoke, “There’s good news and bad news. Prepare yourself.”
Zheng He suddenly had a bad feeling: “Okay.”
“The good news is we caught him. The bad news is he spent all his money tipping a female live streamer.”
“!!!” Damn it!
Zheng He broke down again, slamming the table and bellowing, “Didn’t he say he never watches live broadcasts as it affects his spiritual energy?!”
“Scammers’ words cannot be trusted.”
Zheng He gritted his teeth, nearly dying from frustration!
Sure enough, his money was not coming back!
Zheng He angrily said, “It looks like this damn old man is not only a scammer but also a dirty old lech!”
Police: “He’s not an old man, either.”
“???” Zheng He was baffled!
The police took out a photo from a file bag nearby and handed it to Zheng He.
The photo showed a middle-aged man, not an old man. Upon closer inspection, facial features somewhat resembled the fortune-telling old man.
The police sternly said, “The identity of the fortune-telling old man was just a disguise made using makeup techniques.”
Zheng He felt as though he had been struck by lightning, and twice by the same bolt!
What in the world is even real anymore?
In games, a cute loli voice belongs to some foot-scratching fat man, and in reality, the fortune-telling old man turns out to be a middle-aged man who likes watching female streamers…
He would never trust anyone ever again!!
But what shocked Zheng He the most was…
The police said, “Our investigation found that his list of tipped female streamers included Chen Xixi, a guest you worked with on your show. After scamming you that night, he sent Chen Xixi two Dream Castles worth 3888 yuan each…”
Zheng He couldn’t hear what the police said after that.
He slumped in the chair, his face filled with despair.
Two Dream Castles amount to 7776 yuan; that damn scammer had tipped Chen Xixi 7776 yuan in gifts right after scamming him.
That means 5700 yuan of it was his! His! His!
He could have lived with anyone else spending that money, but spending it on Chen Xixi made him instantly want to kill that scammer!
Zheng He suddenly came to his senses, asking, “Is there any way you can help me get this money back from Chen Xixi?”
“It depends on whether Chen Xixi knows he was a scammer, and getting the money back would also involve the platform since the platform took a cut of the money. Recovering it will also take some time, and we’ll need to clarify the details before giving you an answer.”
“Okay, you must think of a way to help me recover the money as soon as possible.”
He didn’t want the money he begged so hard for to help Chen Xixi win!
[A loli voice not coming from a loli, a fortune-telling old man who isn’t actually old? This is as ridiculous as a wife cake without a wife!]
[All these absurd things happen to fall on Zheng He’s plate, what kind of fate is this, haha!]
[The most ridiculous part is the scammer spending his money on his arch-nemesis Chen Xixi, I’m literally dying of laughter!]
[Enough said, I declare Chen Xixi the ultimate winner of life!]
[Stop talking, Chen Xixi and Jin Cheng are already on their way to the concert, I’m dying of jealousy!]
Meanwhile, another piece of news climber up the trending searches online.
