Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy

Chapter 348 - 347: Wang Henli, the Criminal Celebrity

"I’m sure you’d all rather hear me say that tomorrow’s food showcase will be stocked with tons of dishes—"

[YES, YES, YES, YES!]

[You know us so well!]

[Exactly! That’s the best thank you ever!]

[? Is it for real?]

Jiang Qiuqiu blinked, neither confirming nor denying it.

[Juju, hurry up and say something! My heart’s pounding so hard it feels like it’s going to fly out of my chest...]

[SOB, don’t get our hopes up just to let us down!]

Questions flew rapidly across the bullet screen. Jiang Qiuqiu gave them a firm answer. "It’s true." Although the bullet comments couldn’t make a sound, the avalanche of "WOW," "OH MY GOD," "AHHHH," and "THAT’S AWESOME" that came rushing in made it feel like a grand festival of cheers.

Jiang Qiuqiu had been preparing for tomorrow’s food showcase for quite some time. She had been setting aside an extra three hours every day to cook and store more food.

This was a way of giving back to her fans, but it was also a little bit of a scheme.

She had gained a lot of fans during the PK, but they were a scattered bunch. Since they were all foodies, what could possibly capture their hearts more than a dazzling spread of delicious food?

"Don’t ask me what’ll be on the menu. You’ll find out for yourselves tomorrow."

"It’ll open at five in the afternoon, right on the dot. Most of the things you’ve been wanting will be there—"

"Alright, it’s midnight. You should all be getting to sleep." Jiang Qiuqiu yawned. "Don’t stay up late chatting in the circle tonight. Get some rest."

"See you all at the next PK."

[There’s another PK???]

"Of course."

"The PK for the Food section has ended, but the PKs against other sections are starting soon."

’The small laurel wreath was already on her head. Her next step was to chase after an even bigger crown.’

That night, everyone listened to Jiang Qiuqiu. After the broadcast ended, they suppressed the urge to gush and didn’t flood the circle to celebrate, start new threads, and chat idly.

「The next morning.」

The Ju people who woke up early had been planning to chat with their fellow fans, speculating about what dishes might appear in Jiang Jiujiu’s food showcase at five that afternoon.

But as soon as they went online, they were shocked to see that the number one trending topic in the Food section was Wang Henli?!

’What the hell? Did he buy his way onto the trending list again? That washed-up loser actually dared to buy the number one spot—’

But when they clicked on it, they discovered that while the news was in the entertainment section, it was actually about a criminal case.

Entertainment & Food Gazette: It is reported that last night, Wang Henli, the former number one streamer of the Federation Live Food section, was arrested at his home by officers from the Federation’s Criminal Division. According to reliable sources, in order to secure the top spot, the streamer repeatedly accessed the dark web to #PlaceOrders#, and is suspected of attempted murder.

Federation Morning Post: Was the Federation Live platform negligent in its oversight? Its streamers engaged in such cutthroat competition, and management was supposedly completely unaware? This outlet has learned that in addition to using the dark web for unfair competition, Wang Henli’s studio also repeatedly hired PR firms to run smear campaigns against his rivals...

Federation Legal Daily: ...

All sorts of newspapers were scrambling to report on the Wang Henli story.

The accompanying photos and images were even more sensational. Police officers from the Criminal Division, dressed in black uniforms, had Wang Henli in handcuffs.

It was common knowledge in the Federation that police wouldn’t use handcuffs unless the evidence was substantial.

’They actually put him in handcuffs???’

’No wonder he managed to beat Juju for the top spot.’

’So badass.’

’Hiring a hitman... he’s actually being investigated for murder.’

For the Federation Live Broadcast Company, this was a massive scandal.

Many of Wang Henli’s former fans were completely dumbfounded.

After yesterday’s incident, they just thought they’d been fans of a streamer who was a sore loser. Looking at the news today, they realized they hadn’t been following a streamer, but a criminal.

’A jailbird-in-training? Hiring a hitman for attempted murder?’
