I deliver food in a bizarre world
Chapter 103 [Imperial Edict - Reprimand]
"Senior Lin Jing, it's me, Chen Mo."
A crisp, efficient female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Junior Chen Mo, did you see the news online? I was just about to contact you!"
Lin Jing, two years ahead of Chen Mo, graduated from the Law School of Jinghai University and is now a well-known lawyer in Jinghai City, known for her meticulous thinking and tough style.
The dispute between Mirror Hotel and Kuangshi Live Streaming Platform is what she is currently dealing with.
"Yes, I'll have to trouble you again this time," Chen Mo said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing on the other end of the phone felt reassured.
Chen Mo's composure must be based on solid reason; knowing the other person's character gave her confidence as well.
Do you have any evidence?
"Yes, including Lily's own perspective, as well as the entire process of her triggering the rules. It's a live recording on her phone, but the phone might be broken and needs to be repaired. I'll have someone send it to you later."
"Okay... how did you manage to attract so many spendthrifts? Others work themselves to the bone to earn money, and you, on the other hand, have several groups of people rushing to give it to you, tsk tsk..."
Chen Mo remained silent for a while.
Money flows to those who don't lack money, while hardship is left to those who can endure hardship. Perhaps this is a case of birds of a feather flocking together.
Lin Jing asked, "Do you have any requirements for this case?"
"Hmm..." Chen Mo stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then asked, "Is their family quite wealthy?"
"Yes, her father is the CEO of a listed company, although not as rich as you, a second-generation tycoon... I only found out after I graduated that your family is so rich that they can afford a house in Longquan Yunjing."
Chen Mo smiled awkwardly and didn't explain further.
Until recently, he had only a tiny bit of a guess about where his car and house came from.
He didn't move out until his senior year of college, and apart from a car and a room, he was really just an average family...
It was during his senior year, when he was about to graduate, that he invited his roommates to his house for a day, which led to the news getting out and being posted on the campus forum.
It's a pity that by then it was already the time he was about to graduate, and he didn't even have the chance to try and lick her boots.
"Then sue as many as you can. After all, I'm a big streamer now, with hundreds of thousands or even millions of viewers. Claiming a few million in damages for defamation shouldn't be a problem. By the way, Sister Jing, should I give you a bigger cut?"
"A few million? That's ruthless, junior!" Lin Jing chuckled on the other end of the phone, with a hint of admiration. "But I like it. I'll handle the details and make sure they lose more than they gain!"
"The commission will be the same as last time. If it's too much money, the law firm will be investigated, which will be quite troublesome. For me, with a reputation, I won't have to worry about money. I should thank you for giving me these two cases with such high public attention!"
"Alright! Also, while you're organizing Lily's information, could you keep an eye out for her," Chen Mo paused, "whether she had any contact with any unusual people or organizations before entering the mansion. Now that I think about it, I feel like her purpose in coming here wasn't so simple."
"Oh?" Lin Jing's tone turned serious. "Any areas of suspicion?"
"I can't really say, it's just a feeling. You should check it out first. Maybe I'm overthinking it and it's just a preconceived notion."
"Understood, leave it to me!" Lin Jing gave an affirmative reply.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo turned on his computer and logged into his live streaming account.
Instead of starting the broadcast immediately, he first edited a concise announcement: "Tonight at 8 PM, I will be live to respond to recent events and announce important news."
The moment the trailer was released, the already heated internet exploded like boiling oil, instantly drawing massive attention.
Chen Mo himself drew the curtains, walked to the center of the living room, and sat down cross-legged.
"Xiao Jing, Tianyi."
"What's wrong?" Two spirits appeared.
"Let's try out the new stuff." Chen Mo chuckled.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianyi immediately perked up.
Although he has become a ghost, he still retains the curiosity and straightforwardness that belong to young people.
He flexed his wrists and his gaze fell on a heavy sofa cushion at the other end of the living room, about three or four meters away from him.
The little mirror silently floated to a slightly farther spot to the side and signed the blood pact; it could understand Chen Mo's inner thoughts.
All it needs to do is observe carefully and keep good records.
Chen Mo held his breath and tried to activate the spiritual energy within his body. After locking onto the sofa cushion, he let out a soft "heh".
The sound wasn't loud, even a little muffled, but the instant he exited, an invisible wave suddenly spread out from him!
Snapped!
The sofa cushion, three or four meters away, seemed to be suddenly pushed by an unseen hand, falling backward and hitting the back of the sofa with a soft thud.
He himself was also slightly thrown back by the recoil. After regaining his balance, he checked the panel.
His spirituality allows him to fail at drawing talismans twenty times in a row, and this ability is consumed in one attempt, roughly equivalent to five failed attempts at drawing talismans.
"Wow!" Zhao Tianyi exclaimed softly, "You've got that!"
Xiao Jing's voice rang out: "The range is roughly a fan shape about four meters in front of you, about 120 degrees, with a delay of about half a second."
"What about its effect on spirits?" Chen Mo asked.
Xiao Jing's gaze shifted to Zhao Tianyi.
Zhao Tianyi jumped in surprise at the stare and quickly waved his hands, backing away: "No, no, no, Brother Mo, I can't take your shout! I'm too weak right now!"
He may be honest and straightforward, but he's not stupid...
"No need to go all out, just a light test will be fine."
Zhao Tianyi, with a bitter face, dawdled to the spot where he had been sitting on the cushion, striking a pose as if he were bravely going to his execution.
"Then... then be gentle..."
"ha!"
An invisible ripple swept by, and Zhao Tianyi's ethereal spirit flickered violently a few times, like a candle flame being blown by a gust of wind.
"Oh my goodness..."
"How does it feel?"
"It felt like I'd been hit over the head with a blunt object, and I felt a bit nauseous... My head was buzzing..."
Chen Mo: "..."
They've all turned into ghosts, so spit out a hook-shaped object!
It took Zhao Tianyi a while to recover, and he curiously leaned over again: "Brother Mo, can you use this trick repeatedly? Won't you lose your voice?"
"No, it consumes spiritual energy and mental strength, and can only be used about four times in a row before you become weak... Also, it seems to take a little time, so it can't be truly instantaneous."
Chen Mo walked over, straightened the cushion, and put it back in its original position: "Alright, you two go back and rest."
Zhao Tianyi felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly slipped back into the Spirit-Nourishing Pot.
Xiao Jing's figure seemed to blend into the shadows, slowly disappearing beneath Chen Mo's feet.
Every time he saw Xiao Jing disappear with his face on display, he always had a strange feeling, as if he were witnessing his own death...
At 8 p.m. sharp, Chen Mo started his live stream.
Instead of his usual relaxed greeting, he sat directly in front of the camera, his face calm, but his eyes held a coldness.
The number of viewers in the live stream skyrocketed at an astonishing rate, and the barrage of comments was dense, a mix of support and insults.
"Good evening," Chen Mo said, his voice not loud, but clearly carrying to every corner. "I will only say this once about the Silent Mansion."
He didn't waste any words and got straight to the point.
"First, regarding Lily's death." He operated the computer, organized a processed audio clip and several key screenshots, and projected them next to the live stream screen, making them clear and easy to see.
