Chapter 281: Chapter 281: A High-Sounding Analysis

"I think there are several suspicious points about this matter..."

"..."

This video has a duration of about five minutes.

In the video, Xue Tiezhu gave a seemingly honorable account of the whole incident.

Then, he pronounced his so-called "fair" judgment.

He suggested that Ye Chen’s matter was very suspicious and called upon netizens to keep their eyes open and not to be easily swayed by the rhythm of "certain people."

Clearly, this so-called "certain people" he referred to was Ye Chen and his group, not Cui Ruogou and those internet water armies and haters.

Why?

Because Xue Tiezhu articulates various doubts about Ye Chen’s live broadcasts in this video.

For example, after fishing up a corpse, he did not choose to call the police immediately but continued to fish instead.

This carried the implication of creating a persona for himself.

And then, the next day after fishing up the corpse.

At Seyves Reservoir, he caught a pistol, Hand Grenade, and so on.

He expressed skepticism about Ye Chen’s attitude toward fishing up these dangerous items.

He feels that any normal angler would call the police immediately upon encountering such things.

Yet the outrageous Ye Chen, after fishing up a pistol at Seyves Reservoir, actually placed the pistol inside the keepnet.

In just a short five-minute video, Xue Tiezhu discussed these past few days of Ye Chen’s live broadcasts.

Pointed out the dubious aspects of each broadcast, and claimed to have no bias, only standing on the side of fairness.

Moreover, he briefly commented on Cui Ruogou, and of course, it was just a brief mention.

Most of the video, he spent analyzing the suspicious points in each of Ye Chen’s live broadcasts.

At the same time, he made a brief analysis of Ye Chen’s motive for hiring Cui Ruogou.

He believed.

Ye Chen initially just wanted to try out and see whether live broadcasts in this style could catch on.

He never expected that adopting this style would make him an overnight sensation.

And, in a short period of time, he garnered a massive following.

After his overnight fame, many netizens doubted his persona as one who fishes but never catches fish.

So, Xue Tiezhu stated Ye Chen’s motive.

Ye Chen planned to hire someone to play the villain in a joint act with himself.

In this way, not only could it completely dispel the suspicions of netizens, but it could also bring him traffic.

And the situation seemed to unfold just as Xue Tiezhu said.

After the first conflict between Ye Chen and Cui Ruogou, Ye Chen’s followers rapidly increased within a short period.

Xue Tiezhu also stated that Ye Chen had indeed done some good deeds, which Xue Tiezhu found undeniable, but he might have deliberately packaged them.

Like the blue and white porcelain vase from the Tang Dynasty that was fished up recently at Haina Baichuan Fish Pond.

He felt it was questionable and told netizens: how could something buried in the ground appear in a fish pond?

So, it’s very likely that Ye Chen had discovered the ancient tomb from the Tang Dynasty in advance and then placed some items in the fish pond as bait.

In conclusion, Xue Tiezhu stated seriously that if this matter turned out as he speculated.

Then Ye Chen might be suspected of illegal tomb raiding...

Xue Tiezhu’s video was well-argued and seemed noble.

However, astute people could still discern Xue Tiezhu’s true stance.

Because his video, from beginning to end, is questioning Ye Chen.

And moreover, he instigated netizens in the video to denounce Ye Chen and forced Ye Chen to reveal the truth.

After watching the entire video, Cui Ruogou couldn’t help but swallow nervously, looking at Xue Tiezhu opposite him with astonishment.

"Is this your contingency plan?"

Xue Tiezhu nodded.

"I plan to release this video right away so that it can buy you some time and also distract Ye Chen’s attention."

Xue Tiezhu took back his phone from Cui Ruogou’s hand and immediately posted the video on his fast shake (Kuai Dou) account.

Watching Xue Tiezhu post the video, Cui Ruogou also understood what Xue Tiezhu was helping him for.

That’s right, this guy was after traffic, attention.

After both he and Ye Chen had made their statements, the incident reached an unprecedented level of attention.

And by choosing to speak out at this point.

Obviously, he could harvest a surge of popularity.

This guy was using him as a pawn!

However, when Cui Ruogou realized Xue Tiezhu’s true goal, it was already too late.

The situation had developed to this point, and it was impossible for him to turn back even if he wanted to.

Soon, Xue Tiezhu posted this video on his account.

And paid to promote the video, pushing it to the top of the trending list.

It was because the video was biased in his favor.

Responsible, whatever Cui Ruogou had to say, he had to fight tooth and nail with this man.

Making use of him as a weapon, using his money, then reaping the benefits of traffic here.

All the risk was borne by him, but the benefits all went to you?

Perhaps sensing a displeased look from Cui Ruogou, Xue Tiezhu chuckled twice, with an especially sleazy expression.

"What’s with that look? I’m trying to divert the attention from you to help Ye Chen, so this issue can ferment longer."

Cui Ruogou knew he couldn’t outtalk this eloquent man, so he snorted coldly and turned to leave the private room of the teahouse.

...

Since Xue Tiezhu’s fast shake account itself had over three hundred thousand followers.

Plus, he had also invested in pushing traffic to his newly released video.

Thus, within less than an hour after the video was posted.

It climbed to the trending list and amassed tens of thousands of views, with the numbers still growing.

In the comments section for this video.

There were basically two very extreme opinions.

One faction of netizens believed that Xue Tiezhu was full of it and was just riding the coattails of the hype.

"What birdbrain came out of nowhere? Talking all high and mighty, I think it’s all hot air!"

"Indeed, isn’t this just like what Cui Ruogou did at first? Such nonsense arguments, if Teacher Ye’s broadcasts were all scripted, would that not require a huge team?"

"Exactly, it’s too far-fetched. Those who often watch Teacher Ye’s live streams should know he never has a team!"

"His team is just the old men from the Jiang City River Squad! Teacher Ye is all about authenticity, unlike some fishing streamers who fake things."

"I know this Xue Tiezhu, he’s a local fishing streamer from Jiang City, all he does is partner with black pit owners every day and trick fellow anglers out of their money, his words are totally unreliable!"
