Chapter 74: Chapter 74 Ye Chen’s Counterattack

Could it be that he chose to confront me head-on and sent me a lawyer’s letter?

Cui Ruogou had already considered this possibility, which is why he repeatedly emphasized in the video that these were all his speculations.

Therefore, even if Ye Chen really sent him a lawyer’s letter, it would have no effect.

What could it be then?

Did he agree to go to Golden Castle District to fish for the ten-meter-long giant python?

Setting aside whether Ye Chen could catch that giant python, the higher-ups in Jiang City would definitely not allow Ye Chen to mess around.

Regarding the issue with Golden Castle District, while many residents complained, some netizens online also criticized the relevant departments for their inaction.

A whole day has passed, and yet not even a trace of the ten-meter-long python has been found?

Under such circumstances, how could the higher-ups allow a fishing streamer to go fishing for pythons, what a joke?

Thinking this,

Cui Ruogou really couldn’t figure out what Ye Chen’s response would be.

Driven by immense curiosity, he clicked into Ye Chen’s Douyin account.

The studio employee was right; Ye Chen had just posted a new video five minutes ago.

In just five minutes, the video had already received hundreds of thousands of likes.

This shows just how popular Ye Chen really is.

The title on the video’s cover was also very clear.

"Regarding my response to East Sea’s King of Fishing, Cui Ruogou."

After clicking in.

In the video, within a small but neat and tidy room, sat a gracefully handsome young man.

Who else could it be if not Ye Chen?

He had changed from his previous joking demeanor, his expression serious, sitting upright facing the camera.

"Regarding the East Sea’s King of Fishing, and the suggestions made by the netizens, I’ve seen them too."

"Since everyone thinks I can catch the giant python in the Golden Castle District, let me say a few words."

"First off, the artificial lake at Golden Castle District isn’t a river or a free fishing pond where anyone can fish whenever they want."

"Based on what I know, the area around the artificial lake is currently sealed off with barriers, and there is a professional fishing team currently capturing the giant python in the lake."

"I want to say, if the higher-ups instruct me to fish, I certainly won’t refuse, but I have one question..."

"East Sea’s King of Fishing, didn’t you say that I practice Mystical Fishing?"

"Heh..."

"The giant python in the artificial lake is indeed somewhat strange, and as they say, strange things require special methods to handle."

At this point, Ye Chen’s face suddenly showed a wicked smile.

"Everyone knows, since I was young, I studied Daoist techniques, am proficient in exorcism, Feng Shui inspection, and the Zhou Yi Technique."

"There’s a method to fishing, and there’s a method to fishing for pythons."

"Let me tell everyone here about the method of fishing for pythons."

"Fishing for pythons, in a certain Southeastern country, isn’t too rare; their bait, is people!"

"You heard right, it’s people!"

"To be precise, it involves tying thick cloth bands around one’s legs, wrapping them up, and then placing the legs into the cave where the python resides, to lure and capture the python."

"When the person feels their legs being bitten by the python, others need to pull them out."

"In this way, the python inside the cave is caught."

"So..."

Hearing this, Cui Ruogou couldn’t help but feel that something was amiss.

In the video, Ye Chen, narrowing his eyes playfully, said,

"So, to catch this giant python, I need a bait."

"I also saw many netizens caring about the giant python in Golden Castle District on East Sea’s King of Fishing’s video and post."

"It’s you who gave me the courage to stand up, you who cleared my name, telling me ’with great power comes great responsibility.’"

"So, among you caring netizens, I will randomly select one lucky person as bait to fish for the python with me in the Golden Castle District."

On hearing this, Cui Ruogou’s eyes twitched fiercely.

This is bad...

This kid actually pulled this trick on me!

Immediately, he stopped caring about the nonsense and quickly opened his own account to check the video and article he had posted.

Cui Ruogou vividly remembered there being about fifteen thousand comments below his video just earlier.

But in just a few minutes,

the number of comments shockingly dropped to eleven thousand and some.

And this decrease happened despite the increasing number of people supporting Ye Chen.

The meticulous-minded Cui Ruogou immediately shouted to his subordinates, "Stop deleting the comments!"

Under his video, all comments that insulted him and supported Ye Chen would be deleted by his employees.

Cui Ruogou worried this would impact his decision-making; thus, he ordered the staff to stop deleting comments.

Although the employees were confused, they still ceased their actions upon hearing Boss Cui’s orders.

Eleven thousand four hundred and twenty-six!

Cui Ruogou memorized this number — the current count of comments below his video.

After memorizing the number, Cui Ruogou refreshed the comment section.

Eleven thousand seventy-three!

A total of over four hundred comments had vanished!

Cui Ruogou was stunned and began to check these messages.

He discovered that the number of people supporting Ye Chen in the comments had increased, but those supporting him were dwindling!

In his video, the only others who had the authority to delete comments were, aside from himself, the netizens themselves.

For comments supporting him, Cui Ruogou would love to pin them at the top for more visibility; why would he delete them?

There was only one possibility left then —

The netizens themselves had deleted the comments!

At this moment, Cui Ruogou gasped in shock.

It seems his guess was correct, this Ye Chen guy...

He really has some tricks up his sleeve!

The implication in Ye Chen’s words in the video was:

Since you righteous trolls claim the moral high ground and criticize me, why don’t you come fish the giant python.

Alright then, if the higher-ups agree, I’ll go fish.

But fishing for a python needs bait, and the bait will be chosen from among you righteous trolls.

Does it sound like Ye Chen’s words are nonsense?

Why should whatever he says go? Who gets to decide who becomes the bait?

Who in their right mind would volunteer to be bait, to feed a ten-meter-long giant python?

But, although it’s highly unlikely,

if the higher-ups really approve Ye Chen to fish for this ten-meter-long python,

and if Ye Chen really picks one of the righteous trolls who criticized him,

and then tells the higher-ups that this is a case of "Mysticism", that only you can bait the python...

Normally, anyone would refuse.

But if you refuse, what about the other netizens?
