Broadcast Room Qi Cheng is a rural life video blogger with over a million followers on TikTok.
In the past two years, as the nation’s economy soared and entered the data era, the short video industry rapidly
rose to prominence.
Keen on developing the impoverished village that raised him, Qi Cheng returned to the countryside after
graduating from college, contracted fruit trees, and led the villagers to improve their economic wellbeing
through labor.
It's the peak season for lychees, and villagers get up at five or six in the morning to climb the mountain and pick
the fruit. Qi Cheng also shoulders his equipment and heads up the mountain early to start his live stream.
Even though it’s early morning, there are still plenty of fans and inteviewers flocking into his live session.
“Good morning, good morning, why is everyone up so early?”
“I'm here today to help the villagers sell lychees, we're almost at the lychee grove area.”
“Take a look at our mountains, the air here is exceptionally fresh, the water is pure mountain spring water, and
the soil is so good, it's indescribable—the lychees it produces are both large and sweet.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs Qi Cheng slowly walks along the mountain path, he chats with his fans and turns his phone to show them the
beautiful scenery of his hometown.
However, after he turns his phone around for a while, the live chat suddenly shifts in tone:
[Holy shit, what did | just see!]
[In that brief moment in the shot, | think | saw two people on top of a minivan?!]
[!!! Did everyone else see that? | thought my eyes were playing tricks on me!]
[That's impossible, right?]
[Ah ah ah ah ah, host, turn the camera back!]
[Host! Turn the camera back!!]
[Quick, turn the camera back!]
The sudden surge of messages instantly flooded the comment section, and people were sending Qi Cheng virtual
gifts demanding that he turn the camera back.
Confused by the barrage of messages, Qi Cheng starts turning the camera as he asks, “What do you want to
see? Is this what you mean...” But the last word hadn’t quite left his mouth when he saw the image shown on his
phone’s screen and incredulously lifted his head to look down the mountain.
Standing halfway up the hill, in a position that allowed an unobstructed view of the scenery below, he also saw
the minivan that was speeding along the mountain road with two people bound on top!
“That can’t be possible.”
“Are my eyes deceiving me?”
Qi Cheng muttered to himself, almost disbelieving, and zoomed in with his phone’s camera.
This was his dedicated live-streaming phone, a domestic brand that was far ahead in facilities and functionality,
capable of outclassing other imported products in the scategory.
After zooming in, the image quality wasn’t blurred at all; it remained crystal clear.
It wasn't just Qi Cheng, everyone watching the live stream could clearly see that on the minivan driving at the
foot of the mountain, there were indeed two people tied up! Moreover, both were unconscious men!!!
[Ah ah ah ah ah! Quickly, call the police!]
[Is this a kidnapping? A murder?!]
[Holy shit, holy shit! That's terrifying!]
[Call the police, call the police, aaaahhh!!]
[Broad daylight, it's the 21st century and this kind of thing still happens! Does that killer think this is some
mountain village where no one will notice?!]
[So horrible, so brazen! If it hadn't been for the live stream catching it, no one would have even noticed!]
[Don’t even know if those two people are dead or not, but those are two living lives!]
[I've got a recording! This is all evidence!]
The barrage of comments in the live stream went crazy, filling the screen, and the number of viewers shot up
from over nine thousand to twenty thousand in an instant!
Once Qi Cheng realized what was happening, he thought to himself, This is bad!
He pushed his assistant, who was also stunned, and said, “Quick, quick, take out your phone and call the police!”
Then addressed the viewers in the live stream, “Everyone, don’t panic, I've already asked Xiao Liu to make a
police call. Also, I'm going to run down the mountain now. My motorcycle is at the bottom, | might be able to
catch up if | ride it, to see what exactly is going on. Everyone just stay calm, | will update you all online later.”
After finishing in one breath, without looking at the live stream viewers’ comments anymore, Qi Cheng quickly
turned off the live stream and grabbed his phone, running down the mountain.
