A single divination predicts life and death; the entire internet begs me to start a live stream.

Chapter 96 Complete Internet Ban

The news that Chen Bufan's account had been banned quickly spread across the entire internet.

At first, netizens thought it was just a temporary review.

After all, too many things have appeared in his live streams recently.

A stand-in fiancé.

The struggle for succession among wealthy families.

The bride in red.

Underground wedding hall.

Offerings to those who wish to prolong their lives.

Any one of these images, taken individually, would be enough to give the platform a headache during the review process.

But less than half an hour later, the wind direction changed.

A large number of marketing accounts joined the fray at the same time.

This book is first published on 111k.com, providing you with a reading experience without errors or disordered chapters.

The titles were increasingly jarring.

Fortune-telling livestreamer Chen Bufan is suspected of spreading rumors about well-known entrepreneur Lu.

[Livestreamer with millions of followers uses superstition to create panic and intimidate the public]

[With the Changsheng Health and Wellness Hospital incident still unresolved, is it illegal for the livestreamer to pre-judge the case?]

From the bride in red to Changsheng Hospital, is Chen Bufan using the case for self-promotion?

[Feudal superstition cloaked in the guise of justice: Who is condoning this traffic monster?]

Police need evidence, not "online judges" to solve cases.

On short video platforms, clips of Chen Bufan are being heavily throttled.

The search results for the name "Chen Bufan" suddenly decreased significantly.

Instead, smear articles were ranked first.

Some people say he's using police cases to gain attention.

Some say he deliberately incited social panic.

Some say he uses metaphysics to package himself, but in reality, he has a team operating behind the scenes.

Some people even dug up recordings of him being called a scammer in his previous live streams and edited them into a compilation.

Coupled with sarcastic and ironic captions:

From a small-time con artist with just a dozen or so followers to a charlatan with millions of followers, Chen Bufan's road to fame.

In the comments section, paid trolls flooded in as if they had a pre-written script.

I'd suspected something was off about him for a while.

[He's involved in every case, isn't that too much of a coincidence?]

[What right does a fortune-telling livestreamer have to interfere with the police?]

The platform has finally taken action.

[Support the banning of feudal superstition.]

Don't let the so-called mastermind turn out to be the one who ultimately controls the script.

Before any netizens could refute, their comments were quickly suppressed.

Content supporting Chen Bufan was either folded or flagged as violating regulations.

A screenshot of the third basement level of the Changsheng Kangyang Hospital has been posted online.

It was posted and deleted within minutes.

Someone posted a video of Xu Yao being rescued.

System prompt:

[Content contained sensitive images; review rejected.]

Someone posted a compilation of information about the Meng Yun and Su Man cases.

The post was immediately throttled after it went viral.

The entire network seemed to be suddenly held down by an invisible hand.

Everyone could sense that something was wrong.

But in a short time, it is difficult to break through that invisible net.

Lin Wanqing sat in the special case team's temporary office, looking at the online public opinion report.

"It's too neat."

The technician nodded.

"It's organized."

"Dozens of marketing accounts released the content at the same time."

"The copywriting structures are highly similar."

"The keywords are concentrated on spreading rumors, feudal superstition, intimidating the public, affecting case handling, and hyping up cases."

"There's also a group of accounts specifically dedicated to stirring up trouble in the comments section."

Lin Wanqing said:

"Investigate the fund chain."

The technician gave a wry smile:

"Investigating."

"But these accounts were placed through Google Ads and third-party public opinion monitoring companies."

"It wasn't officially funded by the Longevity Foundation."

Lin Wanqing asked:

"Who paid for it?"

"Several public relations firms."

The technician handed over the documents.

"The equity structure has several layers."

"The outermost layer doesn't show any problems."

Lin Wanqing turned a few pages.

"In the end, it's still the immortality lineage?"

The technician whispered:

"It cannot be confirmed at this time."

Lin Wanqing put the documents down.

"The inability to confirm is exactly the result they want."

at the same time.

Chen Bufan sat in his rented room.

The phone screen displays a notification that the account has been banned.

[Live streaming privileges are frozen]

[Appeal under review]

[This account poses a risk of spreading feudal superstition and causing social panic.]

He didn't show any expression.

In the past half day, he had already come up with a solution.

Waiting for an opportunity.

Wang Tianhao's call came in first.

As soon as the call connected, all I heard was cursing.

"Master Chen, these people are shameless!"

"I've read those smear articles online, and they're clearly written by paid trolls."

"Do you want me to pay for you to trend on social media?"

Chen Bufan remained calm:

"Need not."

Wang Tianhao became anxious.

"Why don't you use it?"

"They buy smear articles, we buy clarifications."

"I may not have much else, but I do have some money."

Chen Bufan said:

"Your little bit of money isn't enough to beat Lu Changsheng."

Wang Tianhao choked for a moment.

"But we can't just stand by and watch him throw dirty water!"

Chen Bufan said:

If you want to help, tell the truth.

Wang Tianhao remained silent for two seconds.

"clear."

Half an hour later.

Wang Tianhao posted a video.

In the footage, he doesn't have luxury cars, beautiful women, or his former carefree attitude.

He stood at the gate of the Wang family's residence, his expression serious.

"I am Wang Tianhao."

"I didn't believe Chen Bufan back then, and I even cursed him online."

He saved my life.

"It is a fact that the brake cables were cut."

"It is a fact that Wang Tianming harmed me."

"He was the one who exposed the shameful secrets of my Wang family."

"If he were a fraud, I would be dead by now."

"I don't care what people say online."

"I'll only say one thing."

"Chen Bufan saved me."

"Anyone who criticizes him is going against me, Wang Tianhao."

The moment the video was posted, the comment section exploded.

But not long after, the traffic was restricted.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Qingyue spoke up.

She didn't launch into a long speech.

Only one photo was posted.

It's a photo of her and Gu Yanchuan.

Next to the photo, the caption reads:

If it weren't for Mr. Chen, I might be dead by now.

There is another sentence below:

I believe in the truth I've witnessed firsthand.

When a top female celebrity gets involved, the buzz explodes instantly.

However, the topic was suppressed in less than ten minutes.

Subsequently, Qin Ruoxue also issued a statement.

[The Qin Group was once embroiled in a "Seven Fiends Stealing Wealth" scam. Mr. Chen Bufan assisted us in uncovering the scam and cooperated with the police investigation. We reserve the right to pursue legal action against any online claims that Mr. Chen is "hyping up the case."]

The Qin Group's legal department forwarded the message simultaneously.

The Wang family, the Qin family, and Shen Qingyue all spoke out at the same time, and a brief backlash occurred online.

[Those who were rescued earlier have all come out!]

With so many people testifying together, it can't all be scripted, right?

The smear campaign is too obvious.

[We just said Chen Bufan was using this for publicity, but the victim has spoken out personally. What do you say about that?]

But soon, another group of online trolls surged in.

These people are inherently part of a community of shared interests.

It's just capital supporting each other.

The Qin family, the Wang family, and Shen Qingyue all used Chen Bufan to gain popularity, so of course they're speaking up for him now.

Is it possible that they are all part of the script?

The more people speak out, the stronger the team behind them must be.

Xu Yao also posted a video.

She sat in the hospital room, her wrist still wrapped in gauze.

His face was pale, but his tone was firm.

"I don't know what team it is."

"All I know is that on the night I received the red wedding dress, Mr. Chen made me keep calling my own name."

"If it weren't for him, I would have been taken away by now."

"I am not a script."

"Meng Yun is not a script."

"Su Man is not part of the script."

"Please stop making fun of the victims."

This video briefly made it to the top of the trending list.

Then a warning was displayed:

[This content involves controversial issues; please exercise caution and discernment.]

Chen Bufan looked at the voices but neither rushed nor responded.

Lin Wanqing called.

"Shen Qingyue, Qin Ruoxue, Wang Tianhao, and Xu Yao have all spoken out."

Chen Bufan said:

"I saw it."

"But public opinion is still being suppressed."

"normal."

Lin Wanqing said.

"You're quite calm."

Chen Bufan leaned back in his chair.

"The more he suppresses it, the more it shows that the live broadcast three days later poses a threat to him."

Lin Wanqing said:

I'm still in contact with the platform.

"But the Changsheng Foundation has issued a lawyer's letter, and there are also a lot of complaints."

"The other party clearly wants to delay for three days."

Chen Bufan said:

"Banning the live stream is useless."

"Cause and effect will never end."

Lin Wanqing was silent for a second.

"You really have a way?"

"have."

"What method?"

Chen Bufan looked at the old photos on the table.

Lu Changsheng, in the twelfth year of the Republic of China, still smiles gently in the photograph.

"They can ban my account."

"But you can't shut everyone up."

Lin Wanqing frowned.

"You want someone else to do the broadcast for you?"

"It's not a proxy broadcast."

Chen Bufan said.

"It is a testimony."

Lin Wanqing immediately understood what he meant.

If, three days later, Chen Bufan only mentions Lu Changsheng in his own live stream, then banning his account on the platform will cut off everything.

But what if, three days later, Shen Qingyue, Qin Ruoxue, Wang Tianhao, Xu Yao, the family of the bride in red, the family of the donor at Changsheng Hospital, and even countless netizens simultaneously start broadcasting, rebroadcasting, recording, and discussing?

That's not something that can be solved by simply banning one account.

Lu Changsheng's target is no longer Chen Bufan.

It's the entire internet.

Lin Wanqing whispered:

"That would be very dangerous."

Chen Bufan said:

"The moment I called out Lu Changsheng's name, things were already in danger."

Lin Wanqing said:

"He might target those who speak out."

Chen Bufan continued.

"That's why it's even more important to make it public."

"If they're hidden, they'll be easier to deal with one by one."

"Standing in the light is actually safer."

Lin Wanqing did not speak immediately.

She knew Chen Bufan was right.

But she also knew that this would push the whole situation into a more open confrontation.

The "Calculation of Lu Changsheng" three days later was no longer just a battle of magic between the Xuanmen sects.

It was a direct clash between public opinion, the police, capital, platforms, victims, and the "fate-changing" scheme.

Chen Bufan hung up the phone.

The room fell silent again.

But the phone lit up again very quickly.

It's not a phone call.

It was a private message.

The sender's profile picture is completely black.

The nickname is garbled.

Chen Bufan was originally going to cross it out.

But the next second, the other party sent another message:

[Master Chen, I am a staff member working on the platform's backend.]

Chen Bufan's eyes flickered slightly.

The messages kept popping up.
