Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy

Chapter 396 - 415: The Crimes of Wang Henli

Late that night, news of Jiang Qiuqiu taking the top spot had only just begun to spread.

Outsiders were buzzing about it, but just as the food community started to discuss the topic, another major event stole the spotlight.

Wang Henli, the former number one streamer who had been taken away by Federation police during a live PK battle, had reappeared.

He appeared again on the legal news channel. According to reports, after an investigation by the relevant Federation authorities, Mr. Wang had confessed to all the crimes he committed. The list of offenses included, but was not limited to, hiring assailants, abuse of women and minors, and fraudulent self-promotion.

Of course, the most sensational charge was: harming key personnel under the protection of the Federation.

Convicted on multiple counts, Wang Henli was sentenced in court to sixty years of exile and fined 1.7 billion, which would be used as compensation for the victims of his crimes.

Every single one of these charges was stunning to the onlookers.

The published verdict was accompanied by videos of his interrogation and other evidence, and everyone was shocked to discover he had persecuted a significant number of people.

Some of the victims were no longer remembered by the public, but others... were names everyone recognized.

There was a food streamer who had been his contemporary and had also been quite popular back in the day. Later, it seemed he had an "accident" where all the nerves in his hand were severed. Because too much time had passed and a severe infection had set in, his hand had to be amputated.

A chef who had lost his hand... Although people felt sorry for him, they gradually stopped watching his streams.

’So now it seems it wasn’t an accident after all?’

And he wasn’t the only one. There was another streamer, not a direct competitor, but simply someone known for making delicious food. This person had also suddenly disappeared for a time. The official story was that he’d had issues with his spiritual power, but it turned out this case was also connected to Wang Henli.

Hiring assailants, paying people off—this was far from the first or second time.

What was even worse was the charge of abusing women and children—

At first, everyone had thought he was merely ruthless in business. They never expected him to be so despicable toward his own family.

On screen, he had masterfully played up the "loving father, adorable daughter" persona with Wang Tuantuan, but off-camera, he freely abused his wife and daughter. Beatings and verbal abuse were commonplace; he had even once kicked Wang Tuantuan, sending her flying.

In the video, Wang Tuantuan’s mother revealed the injuries on her daughter’s body. Aside from her face and hands, which were always visible, her body was covered in a mass of black and blue bruises.

This sent the fans who doted on Wang Tuantuan like she was their own child into an absolute uproar.

Finally, there was the matter of the undisclosed murder of a key official.

The implications of this were enormous. After the news broke, the Federation Live Broadcast Company swiftly issued a statement announcing they had terminated the contract of the law-breaking streamer and compensated the victims.

But no one was fooled by these superficial measures. Someone raised a crucial point: ’What about the head of his branch office?’

’So many incidents, one after another... and some of them were committed before Wang Henli even became famous.’

’The records show he doesn’t come from a wealthy family. How could he have possibly afforded to hire assailants on the dark web early in his career? How much did the branch manager cover up for him through all of this?’

’The manager is the one who pushed him to the top spot, and even after all this, he let him keep that position. That manager is definitely a real piece of work, too.’

The power of the internet is formidable. Spurred on by petitions and the horrifying nature of the news, more and more onlooking netizens joined the side of justice, demanding that the Federation Live Broadcast Company disclose the details of its internal investigation.

This was not a problem that could be solved by simply issuing a statement about "failing to exercise due diligence" and throwing some money at it.

People demanded a just resolution!
