Live Broadcast Witness

Zhou Yining and Jiang Xizhi quickly ate their meal.

She then called Chen Yitong, asking Chen Yitong to help her testify.

The call was quickly connected.

“Teacher Chen, I have another matter to trouble you with. I need you to help me testify.”

Chen Yitong, of course, knew what Zhou Yining was referring to.

“Okay, what do you need me to do?”

“This morning, I received many calls, all from media outlets inquiring about you.”

“Yining, this matter must be handled quickly, otherwise, it will have a significant impact on you.”

“I know, teacher. This afternoon at 3 PM, I will go live on a media’s live-streaming account to clarify.”

“I need you to help me testify,” Zhou Yining said.

“Alright, send me the address.”

“This matter was never your fault.”

“You really shouldn’t read the comments from those keyboard warriors online these days.”

Chen Yitong worried for Zhou Yining.

‘How many messy things had Zhou Yining encountered in the past year?’

‘She had finally become the provincial top scorer in humanities, only to be slandered and smeared by her own parents.’

‘She felt that if Zhou Yining weren’t so strong-willed, she would already have psychological problems.’

“Okay, thank you, teacher.”

Zhou Yining hung up the phone and immediately sent the address to Chen Yitong.

She thought for a moment and decided to call Ji Ying.

Nothing was more convincing than a police officer’s testimony.

She just didn’t know if Ji Ying would be willing to help her with this, as she and Ji Ying weren’t truly acquainted.

The call was quickly answered.

“Zhou Yining?”

“Yes, it’s me, Officer Ji. I’m sorry to bother you at this time.”

“It’s fine.”

“Are you calling me because of the online situation? Do you need me to do anything?”

Ji Ying had also seen the trending topics.

“Yes, I’m going live this afternoon to clarify this matter. Can you testify for me?” Zhou Yining asked.

“Okay, I’ll take leave now. Just send me the address.”

Ji Ying knew how difficult things were for Zhou Yining.

‘This girl had finally become the top scorer in the college entrance exam, only to be harmed by her biological parents like this.’

‘As an outsider, she couldn’t stand by.’

‘Moreover, she had a record of every police dispatch, and testifying would only involve stating the truth, so it wouldn’t affect her.’

“Alright, then I’ll send you the address. Thank you, Officer Ji.”

“No thanks needed, Zhou Yining. You are stronger than I thought.”

“This matter is just a small hurdle; once you cross it, everything will be fine.”

“Don’t take it to heart; you still have a long way to go.”

“Understood, thank you for helping me,” Zhou Yining thanked her again.

With Ji Ying’s help, Zhou Yining felt more confident.

Although sometimes there was no need to rush to prove oneself, in Zhou Yining’s current situation, self-vindication was essential, otherwise, she would be letting Zhou Yuanfei and the others continue to tarnish her name.

Around 2 PM, Zhou Yining arrived at the media company.

She communicated with the person in charge and played some of the recordings for them.

The person in charge was very pleased; this event would surely bring significant traffic to their company.

Chen Yitong and Ji Ying both arrived around 2:30 PM.

The two prepared in the live-streaming room, and the staff adjusted the equipment, with the camera focused solely on Zhou Yining.

Zhou Yining had her laptop at hand to play audio files at any time.

At 3 PM, the media company directly started the live broadcast.

Because they had already posted a warm-up announcement at noon, as soon as the live stream began, many curious onlookers poured into the room.

Of course, the live chat was filled with various insults directed at Zhou Yining.

[Of all virtues, filial piety is the foremost. Someone who doesn’t even respect their own parents will be a cancer to society.]

[What top scorer? I think she’s a personality-disordered scumbag.]

[Exactly, writing love letters to male classmates in high school, what kind of decent person is that?

Who knows how many guys she’s slept with?]

[The person above has such a dirty mouth.

If her character is bad, talk about her bad character, but can you stop spreading sexual rumors about girls?]

[This kind of rotten person is still afraid of sexual rumors?

With such a person, no matter how good her grades are, she shouldn’t be admitted to a good university.]

[Exactly, how can she treat her parents and family like this?]

[Trash, scumbag!]

Zhou Yining’s gaze swept over the scrolling insults in the chat.

Her expression was calm as she looked directly into the camera.

“First, let me introduce myself. My name is Zhou Yining, and I am this year’s provincial top scorer in humanities for the college entrance examination.”

The insults below increased, new viewers constantly flooded the live stream, and the comments flew by even faster.

[Oh my god, so thick-skinned, still has the nerve to introduce herself?]

[This kind of person is cold-hearted and probably just wants to gain traffic, right? Next step, is she going to promote products?]

[Bah, this kind of scumbag should be banned, no university should admit her.]

Zhou Yining ignored the insults in the live chat.

She looked directly into the camera and continued, “All matters have two sides.”

“Before knowing the full picture, I believe no one has the right to judge a person.”

“Actually, I don’t want to prove myself.”

“Generally, the burden of proof lies with the accuser.”

“But many people just listened to a few words from Zhou Yuanfei and Zhao Xiuna and believed them implicitly.”

“But I want to ask, can’t parents lie?”

[Damn it, shameless!]

[Exactly, who claims, who proves. If she has proof, show it!]

[No way, I think what she’s saying makes sense. Her parents just talk nonsense, and everyone believes them without question.]

[Listen to what? She studies so well, she’s definitely going to talk. I still believe her parents’ words.]

Zhou Yining paused for a moment and continued, “Some people might be predisposed to believe what Zhou Yuanfei and Zhao Xiuna said.”

“But I have evidence. For every single incident, I have kept evidence.”

“But by making this evidence public, I am essentially cutting open my own flesh, tearing open wounds that have already healed.”

“I don’t want to do this, but I have to.”

“I won’t explain further below; I’ll simply present the evidence directly.”

After saying this, Zhou Yining directly clicked on an audio file.

“Tell me honestly, are you in an early relationship?”

“I’m not.”

“Still saying you’re not? Everyone can see how much you’ve changed these past few days.

Also, you never used to care about your image before; you had no demands for your hairstyle.

Today you suddenly cut your hair, and you’re still saying it’s not because of an early relationship?”

“Zhou Yining, aren’t you disgusting? You’re only in your second year of high school and you’re already flirting with boys.

Don’t you dare get pregnant with some illegitimate child; you’ve truly shamed our family…”

“Zhou Yining, I’m giving you a face. See if I don’t beat you to death today!

Zhou Yining played an audio recording of an incident that happened shortly after she transmigrated.

The cause was her haircut, which led Zhao Xiuna to accuse her of an early relationship, Zhou Jiaming to spread sexual rumors about her, and Zhou Yuanfei to try and hit her.

She had to call the police to settle everything.

This audio contained the Zhou family’s attitude towards her, and the entire process of the police handling the matter later.

The comment section exploded, and the number of viewers in the live stream rapidly doubled.

[Whoa, her parents are really too much. No evidence whatsoever, and just because their daughter cut her hair, they go insane?]

[Exactly, her younger brother is also so disgusting.

Her sister pays attention to her appearance, and he says she’s flirting with boys and getting pregnant with illegitimate children.

Her brother’s mouth is so dirty, so disgusting.]

[No way, you guys believe her just based on this one audio clip? Didn’t they say she wrote love letters to boys?

So her family wasn’t wrong to suspect her, were they?]

[Exactly, for just this, she wants to cut ties with her family? She’s quite heartless herself.]

Zhou Yining ignored what these people below were saying and began, “Everyone should have heard the attitude of this family towards me.”

“A very small matter escalated to the point of calling the police.”

“If it weren’t for the police, Zhou Yuanfei would definitely have laid hands on me.”

“And this incident is just one of many.”

“Next, there will be more audio recordings.”

“Please be prepared; I will play them in chronological order.”

Saying this, Zhou Yining pressed the play button for the next audio clip.

“Some people are just shameless. They don’t earn money themselves, and they don’t even know how to save money. How much water does using a washing machine waste? Can’t you just wash by hand?”

“Zhou Yining, if you have nothing to do, get out. You eat my food, drink my water, and you still contradict me? I don’t have a daughter like you!”

“Don’t worry, once I have money, even if you beg me, I won’t come back.”

“How dare you? You think you can eat and drink for free here? I

‘m telling you, once you graduate high school, you’ll go to work and support the family, then quickly find someone to marry.

Only when you hand over the 200,000 yuan bride price to me, can you get out.

There were many similar harsh words from Zhou Yuanfei towards his daughter.

The sentiment in the comment section gradually shifted.

[Whoa, her dad is such a loser. What’s wrong with his daughter using a washing machine?

If you can’t afford to raise her, then don’t have kids.]

[Exactly, raising a daughter just for the bride price? What kind of lowlife dad is this?]

[No wonder Zhou Yining wants to escape from such a family. If it were me, I’d run too, truly suffocating.]

[No way, these are all audio files. What if Zhou Yining edited them?]

[I think so too. Her parents can’t be that heartless, can they?]

Zhou Yining didn’t speak after playing this segment; instead, she continued with the next one.

“I am Zhou Yining’s homeroom teacher. Your daughter suffered from school bullying, do you understand?

She was almost forced to jump off a building by their son, and she was diagnosed with moderate depression.

And you, for just 10,000 yuan, want her to sign a letter of understanding?

To put it bluntly, I’ve never seen such a money-grubbing father.”

“Aren’t you shameless? You were filmed in such a video?

And you still have the nerve to call the police? How did I end up with such a disgraceful daughter like you?”

“What’s wrong? Am I not right? Why didn’t they film others and only filmed you?

Is it because you were always misbehaving and flirting around at school?”

This audio segment was from the police station, dealing with Lin Shaohui’s matter, where Zhou Yuanfei only wanted money to resolve it.

Zhou Yining finished playing this full conversation and then said,

“I was previously secretly filmed changing clothes by several boys at school and was bullied by those people for a year.”

“This year, I collected all the evidence and sent those who bullied me to prison.”

“And as my father, Zhou Yuanfei never stood by me; he only wanted the 10,000 yuan settlement fee from the other party.”

“Of course, everyone should have heard the final outcome: I did not agree to a settlement and wanted to seek justice for myself.”

Zhou Yining took a deep breath and continued, “The police station can testify for me on this matter.”

“The officer who handled that incident is right beside me now.”

“I am very grateful that she still dares to stand up and testify for me during this time when I am being bullied online.”
