Chapter 90: It Was A Setup! Three Experts In White Vests!
Liu Fangfang tapped open Ming Di’s video and heard that off-putting man say, “Although I am in the demonic path, and several attacks on the Chen Clan have ended in failure, I have made a good brother, and that is the Dog Demon King of the Dog Demon Tribe. Many fellow demonic cultivators know I drank with him, and we even went after the Chen Family Head together.”
“Even if we did not manage to defeat the Chen Family Head in the end, I have already forged a deep brotherhood with Dog King bro. See the image below as proof!”
Sure enough, a photo appeared in the video. In the photo, he extended his fist, and that little earth dog also raised a paw, stretching it forward to bump his fist.
Wasn’t that a brotherly fist bump?
The video continued: “Who could have expected that just as I infiltrated around the Chen Clan to gather information this time, I saw a female demon bully my Dog Demon King brother!”
The footage shown was exactly the scene of Liu Fangfang swinging her bag at the little earth dog. In her panic she flailed her bag wildly, which really did look like she was hitting the dog hard.
Then the shot changed, and the little earth dog was already lying on the ground motionless.
“???” When Liu Fangfang saw this, she knew this was bad.
But that was not the truth. The other side had edited the video. That local dog had run to lie down in front of her on its own; it was seeking attention by making accusations.
No wonder those people were cursing her. Just from watching this video, it looked like she had beaten the dog to the ground until it could not move.
She had been turned into a vicious dog abuser.
In the video, Ming Di’s denunciation of her sounded again:
“What I hate most is people like you who abuse dogs. Dogs are so cute, how could you bear to hit them?”
“What are you talking abou…”
“What am I? You beat a dog and still think you’re in the right?”
“Are you blind? Did you not see it was about to bite me?”
“Did it bite you? It was just a little lively. Why would you make a fuss with a dog? Only a beast who is less than human would fuss with a dog…”
The key point was, when he said these words, his lens was aimed right at her face. That angle made her look so ugly, so ferocious, and without a beauty filter, making her look like a downright villain.
Damn it, no wonder he kept shaking his phone at the time.
Truly awful.
After the video finished playing, Liu Fangfang discovered even more abusive private messages in her backend, and the insults were filthy. Some even said they were going to screw her to death.
She opened the comment section of Ming Di’s video, and her expression grew even darker:
“The video is so touching. A demon and the Demon King have such deep brotherhood. You help me attack the Chen Family Head, I help you strike the female demon with heavy blows!”
“Like from me. This dog-abusing woman deserves to die. I saw she even posted videos to accuse others first.”
“This woman’s face screams troublemaker. She abuses dogs but uses the title of Dog Lover, and there are actually fools who believe her.”
“When I saw the blogger and the dog bump fists, I knew you are the real Dog Lover. I can’t believe I used to trust that Fangfang.”
“……”
Almost everything Liu Fangfang saw was abuse directed at her. Her head buzzed.
“This is not the truth!”
She felt she had absolutely been set up, starting from when he struck up a conversation with her on the high-speed train.
How could he be this malicious?
She even thought of that dog running to lie down at her feet without even bothering to act.
If it were not a dog, she would have suspected that it too was in on framing her.
At this moment, facing the growing flood of abuse, she began to understand how speechless those people she once attacked must have felt.
She even saw that the Dog Lovers she had previously tagged to help her attack the Chen Family Head had actually defected.
These people deleted their earlier videos attacking the Chen Family Head as soon as possible, and instead reposted Ming Di’s video to denounce her.
Those bastards. She had given them so much material before to help them gain traffic, and they actually chose to kick her when she was down at a time like this.
Not one of them showed any loyalty.
Could they not see the video was edited, that they still refused to believe her?
Once this matter was over, she definitely would not forgive them.
“No, I can’t just sit and wait.” Liu Fangfang immediately picked up her mobile phone, intending to record a clarifying video, but just then several uniformed uncles walked in from outside and came straight up to her.
Seeing them, Li Rui took out his identification and a document and said, “Ms. Liu Fangfang, you have committed crimes of spreading rumors and defamation online, seriously damaging the tourism image of Linhe County and causing serious social disorder. You have already violated criminal law. This is an arrest warrant. We are now arresting you in accordance with the law.”
A female police officer immediately stepped forward and presented a pair of silver handcuffs.
Liu Fangfang was stunned and hurriedly said, “Why are you arresting me? I did not break the law. How have I violated criminal responsibility? Previously, when I cut off a car on the highway, it was only my first warning and a 2,000 fine…”
Li Rui looked at this ranting internet celebrity woman, a bit speechless.
Wasn’t she ignorant of the law?
There really are too many internet celebrities like this now, who think that with a few fans they can do whatever they want.
Li Rui took her out of the hospital, and someone came up to interview him. He knew they were from the county culture and tourism bureau; they had already been in contact. They wanted to restore the truth about the dog thief case, and then culture and tourism would release a video to clarify the dog abuse incident.
He understood their purpose. Now that this matter had such high popularity online, it would definitely affect the culture and tourism side.
However, with the rumor-monger arrested and the clarification video released, they could immediately attract a lot of traffic to the culture and tourism account.
So he cooperated fully and said, “Last night we received a report from the Chen Clan that there were dog thieves. Those injuries on the dogs were actually caused by those dog thieves… Now the dog thieves have been brought to justice, so the claim that the Chen Family Head abused dogs is pure fabrication, and the rumormongers will bear legal responsibility.”
When Liu Fangfang heard this, a bad premonition finally appeared on her face. She said anxiously, “I did not know it was done by dog thieves, I really did not know…”
The culture and tourism staff recorded this scene. Her current miserable state was entirely her own doing.
After that, the culture and tourism staff followed Li Rui and his people back and filmed several of the dog thieves.
It was just that these dog thieves were too miserable.
Except for one, half their faces were swollen like pig heads.
…
The online furor over the dog abuse incident grew bigger and bigger, even reaching the hot search on Douyin and taking a spot on the hot search list.
Ming Di watched the numbers on his video soar, his face full of the smile of someone who had harvested a wave of popularity, and he replied to some comments:
“My bond with Dog bro is deep. We will definitely attack the Chen Family Head again together.”
“My Dog King brothers and I will destroy the Chen Clan together.”
“You can bully me, but you cannot bully my brother, the Dog Demon King!”
“……”
These replies made his video’s comment section even more lively, especially for those viewers who had watched the earlier videos. Everyone joined in.
As for those Dog Lovers in his comments cursing Liu Fangfang, and those saying they supported him, he ignored them all.
As long as he got the popularity, that was enough. He, a dignified demonic cult rogue, how could he let himself be associated with such filthy rabble?
Other demonic cultivators would look down on him.
After a while, he came across a video posted by Linhe County’s culture and tourism bureau. In it, that Liu Fangfang had actually been arrested for spreading rumors.
The key was, according to Linhe County’s description, the dogs were injured because of a group of dog thieves. It was the Chen Clan who called the police, rescued those dogs, and even treated and bandaged them.
Especially when the dog thieves appeared on camera at the end, the matter was settled once and for all.
Those dog thieves were really miserable. The uncles who arrested them had been quite heavy-handed.
Because of this, the process of catching the dog thieves also piqued his curiosity, but this video from Linhe County culture and tourism did not mention the details.
People online who had been following the dog abuse incident soon saw this video and realized they had been deceived by Dog Lover （Fangfang）.
Many who felt their sense of justice had been trampled rushed into Dog Lover （Fangfang）’s account to launch an impact campaign and report her.
They had not managed to get the Chen Family Head’s account taken down previously, but this time they did get Dog Lover （Fangfang）’s account taken down. Douyin directly banned her.
On this front, as long as a web celebrity is officially confirmed to have violated regulations, Douyin is very decisive.
But the pitiful condition of those dog thieves also triggered growing curiosity. Many people started leaving messages on the Chen Family Head’s account asking whether there was video of the uncles catching the dog thieves last night.
After all, the Chen Family Head films videos. It was possible he had recorded it.
……
【Congratulations. Through the recorded images transmitted by the Spirit Shadow Mirror, you have gained one supporter and obtained 1 point of reputation!】
……

In the Chen Clan, Chen Han suddenly noticed the speed of reputation increase in his mind had accelerated. Clearly it was not only the effect of the videos.
This told him there must have been developments online. After all, even the number of people flooding his account to curse him had dropped.
In particular, he saw messages like “Chen Family Head, did you record video of the dog thieves?” and “Chen Family Head, please share the dog thief video?”
“Senior brother, look at the internet. That Dog Lover （Fangfang） is done for. Her account has been banned.” His junior sister’s excited voice sounded.
Chen Han also went online to check and found that this demonic cult rogue Ming Di had actually tagged him.
It was a newly posted video, and it was already going viral.
After watching it, he could not help but feel emotional. Regarding that left path figure “Barking Immortal Guest,” this demonic cult rogue had truly turned his hand to summon clouds and flip his hand to summon rain. He had not only seized Barking Immortal Guest’s special ability, but also stolen his luck.
To think, Dog Lover （Fangfang） had racked her brain to create such huge popularity, and in the end all the benefits went to Ming Di, this demonic cult rogue.
But this guy kept loudly claiming he and the Dog Demon King were sworn brothers, swearing that he and his Dog Demon King brother would destroy the Chen Clan together. The key point was, his Dog Demon King brother had already become the Chen Family Head’s subordinate running dog. What could this demonic cult rogue possibly do?
The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to laugh. Once he released the video of subduing the Dog Demon King and showed that the Dog Demon King had surrendered, how was the other side going to continue that storyline?
Chen Lin suddenly came over with his mobile phone and said, “Xiao Han, I just saw that the county culture and tourism posted a clarification video. Should we also post one to explain about catching the dog thieves? Didn’t you also film it?”
Chen Han nodded with a smile. “Yes, we should post it. But uncle, you and Uncle Dagou might become popular.”
Now that this incident had grown so big online, posting the Dog Demon King’s call for help video, with the hall elder and the clan experts using Taiyi Long Fist to easily defeat the demonic cultivators, would definitely become one of the biggest highlights.
There are many people online promoting martial arts, but who can show two people defeating five, taking out four in a snap and scaring the last one into begging for mercy?
One of the dog thieves had even pulled out a dagger.
In that kind of situation, most martial arts promoters would probably back down.
The saying that even high martial arts fear knives in modern times is not just talk.
There was that case abroad where a professional fighter ran into a knife-wielding punk, and ten seconds later the fighter had five stab wounds and was on the ground.
Chen Han directly uploaded the edited Dog Demon King’s call for help video to Douyin.
Title: In answering the Dog Demon’s plea, one act of kindness led to being set up by the Dog Demon King!
Upload.
In the county, ever since the dog abuse accusations against the Chen Family Head broke out, Chen Kai had been following the situation online.
This incident had indeed made him angry. After all, the Chen Family Head’s videos were getting increasingly popular, and the Chen Clan National Style Event would clearly bring unexpected benefits.
Fortunately, it was all slander. The instigator had brought it on herself and was arrested and was now being interrogated.
Now, in turn, it had brought a large wave of attention to Linhe County culture and tourism. A blessing in disguise.
“Director Chen, the Chen Family Head just posted a video,” someone suddenly reported.
Chen Kai immediately took out his phone to check. Now the Chen Family Head should be posting a clarification video, since the matter was basically settled.
But when he opened it, he found it was not quite what he expected.
“Set up by the Dog Demon King”?
What did that mean?
He knew the Dog Demon King existed only in the Chen Family Head’s videos and was actually just that little earth dog. How could it possibly set up the Chen Family Head?
Curious, he tapped to watch. The video opened on an injured white dog, along with the Chen Family Head’s voice: “…while I was summarizing the cultivation art of transformation with my junior sister, the white-furred silly war general of the Dog Demon Tribe charged into the clan covered in wounds.”
This was another abstract video. Chen Kai did not immediately react to the mention of some cultivation art. After a moment, he remembered the Legend of Sword and Fairy cosplay videos.
So the cosplay videos were the art of transformation.
He had to admire the Chen Family Head’s abstract way of thinking.
He could follow that, but what he did not get was how the Chen Family Head learned about the dog thieves.
The key part was when the white dog actually bit the Chen Family Head’s pants leg, looking like it wanted him to follow.
Here you could tell something was up. The dog was clearly anxious.
As the video played on, the Chen Family Head followed the white dog out, and saw the hall elder of the Work Hall coming out wearing an old man’s white vest.
When he saw the other two clan experts also appear wearing old man white vests, he almost burst out laughing.
He was not the only one. Netizens watching the video could not help laughing when they saw the three old men in white vests standing together.
It was not only abstract, the style was downright comical.
What kind of clan elders and experts dress like that?
The key point was, everyone could clearly see that the two elders of the Chen Clan were trying hard not to laugh while being filmed by the Chen Family Head.
If he had not quickly moved the lens away, Chen Kai suspected the two of them would have cracked up on the spot in the next second.
