After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 202 The Cross-Dressing Master Who Scams Money and Feelings
The person who reported the case is named Zhuo Chao. He lives in a resettlement community near an urban village in the south. He is well-off and owns several houses for rent.

This person doesn't usually work. Aside from occasionally going out to collect rent and visiting his elderly father who is suffering from dementia and unable to take care of himself at the nursing home, his daily routine consists of watching live streams on his phone, sending gifts to his favorite streamers, and listening to the streamers sweetly call him "brother."

However, he is quite stingy when it comes to money. He has never competed for the top spot in gift-giving. He would only spend three or five hundred yuan on a pretty streamer if he found one he liked, just to attract her attention and feel satisfied.

Until recently, he stumbled upon a new female streamer who not only looked a lot like one of his favorite anime characters, with an angelic face and a devilish figure, but also had a particularly kind, understanding, cute and playful personality.

One couldn't hold on, and it completely collapsed.

Zhuo Chao initially left a private message for the other party with a try-it-out attitude, thinking that the probability of getting a response was not high. Unexpectedly, the other party replied that same evening.

As they chatted, they added each other as friends.

Zhuo Chao wanted to take things a step further, so he tentatively suggested that they meet.

Fortunately, the other party agreed.

But there are requirements.

The requirement was that when they met, the other person wanted to dress up as the anime character that Zhuo Chao liked, but as a new streamer, he couldn't afford wigs, costumes, and other equipment.

Isn't this clearly a perk prepared for myself?

Zhuo Chao immediately waved his hand: I'll buy it!
He immediately spent several thousand yuan to buy the necessary equipment and sent it to the address provided by the other party.

The day of their meeting arrived quickly, and Zhuo Chao spent tens of thousands of yuan to give himself a complete makeover from head to toe before heading to the agreed-upon hotel with great anticipation.

The other party didn't stand me up; I successfully met her, and she was even prettier than in the live stream, with a lovely voice—she was like an anime character brought to life.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Zhuo Chao, emboldened by the alcohol, boldly asked if they could take things a step further, and the other party readily agreed.

Just as he was about to enter the room after returning to the hotel, Zhuo Chao accidentally tripped on the carpet. Losing his balance, he reached out to grab something nearby and accidentally grabbed an indescribable object. This was accompanied by a man's uncontrollable cry of pain from the side.

It scared him so much that he immediately sobered up.

Without a second thought, he fled.

When I got home, I was so tired from the alcohol that I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. It wasn't until I woke up the next morning that I remembered how terrible things I had gone through the day before.

Outraged, he skipped breakfast, hastily wiped his face, and rushed to the police station to report the incident.

He can't get his feelings back after being cheated, but he has to get his money back, otherwise he won't be able to swallow his anger!

After listening to Zhuo Chao's explanation, Lin Mofei was able to return to explain to the guests waiting in the office, which was only after Zhuo Chao himself had given his approval.

He's become somewhat reckless and given up.

In any case, the people closest to him in reality no longer recognize him because of Alzheimer's disease. He himself is unmarried and has no children, so even if it is exposed, it will not have any impact on his life.

No, maybe after this ridiculous incident, he can use the huge platform of "Absolute Experience" to spread the word and become an internet celebrity.

Thinking about it that way, I'm even less inclined to object.

After hearing from Lin Mofei what the person who reported the case had done wrong, none of the guests spoke for a moment.

Even Gao Juyao, who is usually very eloquent, was at a loss for words.

However, the live stream chat was in stark contrast to the quiet atmosphere at the venue.

[So, this is a beautiful female anchor who instantly transforms into a cross-dressing master?] [The person who filed the report is truly pitiful, but what can I do if I still want to laugh?]

[The person who reported the crime got their revenge at the last minute; that spot was suddenly grabbed, ouch!]

[Actually, if I had just been honest from the beginning and said I was gay...]

Then it probably won't even start.

[Is scamming money like this a crime? Isn't this a consensual transaction?]

[While the ghost's actions were consensual, the cross-dressing man fabricated his persona, thus constituting deception. He also made the complainant pay him over ten thousand yuan, which is already beyond the threshold for criminal prosecution. Not to mention the emotional distress caused.]

I have to say the person who reported this was brave. If it were me, I'd be too embarrassed to go to the police station to report it; I'd be too ashamed.

[There are probably quite a few people like you who are afraid of losing face, so it's conceivable that the cross-dressing man likely fooled more than just the person who reported the incident.]

I really admire the courage of the person who reported the crime. Because of him, fewer people will be scammed.

[Exactly! Do you think it's easy for me to earn money? Scamming people out of money and emotions is the most despicable thing ever.]

[I didn't expect that the third episode of "Absolute Experience" would encounter such a sensational case so soon after its premiere. I thought that a small local police station would only handle minor cases like missing pet cats or dogs, taxi drivers deliberately taking detours, or petty theft in public places.]

[Could this be a pre-prepared script? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the guests just arrived, and someone comes to report a crime, especially one that's already generating buzz and is right on trend?]

Let's wait and see how the police officer handles this, but I have a feeling this case is real. Filming a TV show is one thing, but at the very least, they should avoid wasting police resources; otherwise, they're putting the cart before the horse.

Lin Mofei glanced at the silent guests and said, "The case has been accepted. Change into your uniforms and come with me to the front hall."

Hearing this, everyone perked up.

Jiang Hanying was closest to the cabinet, so she immediately stood up, walked to the cabinet door, reached out and pulled it open, taking out the six uniforms hanging inside.

The name of the guest was embroidered on the collar of each uniform. She tossed the top uniform into Chi Song's arms as he walked over, the second uniform was hers, and she handed over the remaining four uniforms in her other hand.

After putting on her uniform, she reached under the coat rack and took out a police baton, looking at Lin Mofei: "Do I need to bring this too?"

"Take this. This baton is our usual equipment, but it can only be used to subdue criminals."

Jiang Hanying nodded, took out the remaining batons, gave one to each person, and attached them to their equipment belts.

Lin Mofei checked the guests' attire and nodded. "Alright, let's go out."

There were several police officers working at their posts in the lobby. When they saw the guests and the production crew, they couldn't help but glance over before continuing with their work.

Lin Mofei didn't stop walking. He led the auxiliary police team composed of guests straight to Zhuo Chao.

Here they come! Let me see the unfortunate person who was scammed out of both money and emotions and filed a police report!

[I must say, he's quite handsome, with fair skin and a rather dashing appearance!]

[He's just a small-time landlord.]

No wonder I got targeted by scammers.

[Pat on the head, the police officer and the guests will help you.]
