Lin Xiaoya picked up the "Starlight Miracle Essence" from the table and gently twisted open the cap, facing the camera.
The crystal-clear essence shimmered under the light, reflecting a captivating glow.
"Hey sisters, I know everyone is concerned about the ingredients in this essence."
"Don't worry, we have nothing to hide."
"I'm going to show you all the core ingredient testing report live right now."
As she spoke, she pointed her phone camera at the electronic version of the testing report prepared on her computer screen.
The report was issued by an authoritative organization, with clear indicators showing that the ingredients were safe and effective.
"Take a good look, the levels of lead and mercury, as well as microbial indicators, are all exceeding the limits!"
"As for Mr. Zhou Tao's claims about cost and R&D investment, can't those be fabricated?"
"Using inferior industrial alcohol to mix unregulated products and then turning around to slander those who dare to speak out—this is just a common tactic for some people, isn't it?"
Her words were powerful, and combined with the clear testing report, they instantly turned the tide of public opinion.
"Wow! She's throwing the report right back at them—what else can Zhou Tao say now?"
"I told you Lin Xiaoya wouldn't sell fake products!"
"This Zhou Tao is clearly just looking for trouble!"
"My heart goes out to Lin Xiaoya for being targeted by such trashy haters."
The number of likes began to soar rapidly!
3500!
4000!
4500!
Zhou Tao watched the screen as the tide turned, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. His fingers danced over the keyboard, producing a flurry of sounds, yet it all felt futile.
At that moment—
"Ding! The number of likes has reached 5000, unlocking the [Bullet Screen Control] feature!"
"Would you like to use it on user 'Anti-Fraud Warrior Zhou Tao'?"
Lin Xiaoya's lips curled into a cold smirk.
"Use it."
In the next second, everyone in the livestream was stunned.
Zhou Tao's account seemed possessed, starting to frantically self-destruct on the public screen!
"Anti-Fraud Warrior Zhou Tao": "I'm sorry, I was wrong. The serum that Lin Xiaoya mentioned does have issues."
"Anti-Fraud Warrior Zhou Tao": "I said she was paid off; it was XX company that made me do it!"
"Anti-Fraud Warrior Zhou Tao": "Those so-called 'anti-fraud videos' made by my studio were actually created using AI effects and makeup!"
"The Anti-Fraud Warrior Zhou Tao said, 'Actually, I know that the product "Starlight Miracle Essence" uses industrial alcohol with an excessive concentration! The sample is still under my desk!'"
The barrage of comments froze for a fraction of a second before erupting like a tidal wave!
"!!!!!!!"
"What did I just see? A self-destructing truck?!"
"Wow! Zhou Tao is such a scumbag! He’s willing to sell his soul for money!"
"Industrial alcohol?! This is basically murder!"
"Call the police! We must report this!"
"Lin Xiaoya, quickly take a screenshot! This is evidence!"
Zhou Tao stared at the uncontrollable words he had typed, his face pale as if he had seen a ghost. He frantically tried to shut down his computer, only to find that the mouse and keyboard were completely unresponsive!
He could only watch helplessly as his account nailed him to the pillar of shame.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiaoya's live stream saw its popularity soar, instantly surpassing fifty thousand viewers online!
The effects of donations and gifts nearly flooded the screen.
Looking at Zhou Tao's terrified and desperate avatar on the screen, Lin Xiaoya felt little satisfaction from revenge—only a chilling calmness.
This was just the beginning.
The Dark Night Consortium, Lu Chen Zhou... we will settle our scores slowly.
At that moment, an inconspicuous message quietly floated by.
“Su Wan”: “You should wake up.”
Lin Xiaoya's heart skipped a beat.
Su Wan?
That name...
Was her best friend in her previous life! She was also the first to discover the secrets of the Dark Night Consortium, yet she mysteriously disappeared!
How could she appear here?
“Ding!”
The system's notification sound rang out again, carrying a hint of unusual fluctuation.
“Detecting special signal source ‘Su Wan’…”
“Comparing with database…”
“Warning: Detected memory fragments highly associated with the host's previous life…”
Su Wan.
That name pierced Lin Xiaoya's heart like a dagger forged from ice.
Her best friend from her past life, the one who first noticed the anomalies of the Dark Night Consortium, yet vanished before her eyes—never to be seen alive or dead.
How could she… be in her livestream?
Lin Xiaoya's fingertips were icy, nearly unable to hold her phone.
In her mind, the system's warning sounded sharp and piercing.
"Warning: Special signal source 'Su Wan' detected… Comparing with database…"
"Warning: Fragments of memories highly associated with the host's past life detected… Trigger probability 78%…"
"Warning: Signal source tracking failed, the other party is using strong encryption protocols…"
Lin Xiaoya forced herself to stay calm, her gaze fixed on the spot where the previous comment had disappeared.
Was it a prank? Or was it really Su Wan?
If it was her, where was she now? Was she safe?
Countless questions flooded her mind in an instant.
But she knew this wasn't the time to delve deeper.
The livestream room was already in chaos due to Zhou Tao's self-explosion.
Comments surged like a tsunami, a mix of anger, shock, and schadenfreude intertwined.
The tag IndustrialAlcoholEssence was being spammed by furious viewers, its popularity skyrocketing.
"System, analyze the authenticity of Zhou Tao's earlier 'self-explosion' content," Lin Xiaoya silently urged.
"Command received. Retrieving backend data and associated information for 'Anti-Fraud Warrior Zhou Tao'..."
"Analyzing..."
A progress bar appeared on the screen, loading rapidly.
"Analysis complete. User 'Anti-Fraud Warrior Zhou Tao' has forcibly sent information that highly matches backend logs, associated account transaction records, and relevant chemical procurement records."
"Conclusion: The authenticity of the 'self-explosion' content is 99.8%."
"Supplementary information: A large number of procurement records for industrial alcohol similar to the ingredients of 'Starlight Miracle Essence' have been detected, pointing to several small-scale illegal cosmetic workshops, with secret financial transactions linked to shell companies under the Dark Night Consortium."
Indeed!
A cold light flashed in Lin Xiaoya's eyes.
Zhou Tao was merely a front; the puppet master pulling the strings was the Dark Night Consortium!
They used such despicable means to suppress competitors, even going so far as to use industrial alcohol—a highly toxic substance—to create a "disfigurement" illusion, tarnishing the reputation of legitimate products!
In her past life, this was how they dragged her into the mire step by step, leaving her infamous.
