Chapter 949 - 968: Crocodile Tears

[Recently, Federation detectives have arrived at the Federation Live Broadcast Company to investigate and collect evidence.]

[Evidence shows that Qian Song did indeed have several contacts with the deceased female streamer, Qinghong. Qinghong’s assistant and other streamer friends have reported that the two had conflicts in the past. Qinghong also repeatedly stated that out of the entire company, she hated Qian Song the most.]

[Regarding whether the Federation Live Broadcast Company was aware of this matter, we have invited their CEO, Qian Duoduo, for an exclusive interview. Hello, Mr. Qian. Currently, Federation Live Broadcast is caught in a whirlpool of public opinion...]

The man wore a black suit and looked extremely haggard, with pale lips and slightly red eyes. "Perhaps I really am getting old. The Federation Live Broadcast Company is simply too large. Earlier, I was on a neighboring planet discussing other matters and wasn’t here. I never expected him to do such a thing.

"The company was definitely unaware. Federation Live Broadcast was founded in my grandfather’s era, and every generation of us will always remember his dying teachings: do everything in your power to help as many people as possible. I feel deeply guilty. Because that child didn’t grow up by my side... he did such a thing.

"Here, I apologize to everyone on his behalf. As for Ms. Qinghong, we will also compensate her as much as possible. Her family, her fans—we will do our best to make amends. Furthermore, we will establish a charitable foundation in Ms. Qinghong’s name, allocating 100 billion every year to provide aid to teenagers who have dropped out of school."

He spoke with profound sorrow.

Seeing him like this, the tide of opinion in the bullet comments had already begun to turn. The curses gradually shifted from "shameless Federal Company" and "inactive Federation government" to "useless ingrate," "disgusting Qian Song," and "the Federation Live Broadcast Company was truly cursed with bad luck..."

Qiuqiu closed the video outright, feeling a little angry.

Beside her, Mo Si patted her shoulder and gathered her into his arms. "Do you need me to intervene?"

"No need." Qiuqiu shook her head. Having chatted with Mo Si before, she had a general understanding of the partisan struggles for power on the Federation Star. Currently, this matter did not fall under Mo Si’s jurisdiction. If he were to extend his reach here, it would be overstepping his bounds.

"Little President Qian and I have discussed this. We will use our own methods to solve the problem." Two days ago, when the first news broke, Qian Xingxing had sent Qiuqiu a message.

They had discussed it at length. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Qian Duoduo was preparing to use Qian Song as cannon fodder.

Could a single, spoiled young master stir up so much trouble? Manipulating an S-rank streamer, sealing her mouth, and making it so she had nowhere to turn for help in such a massive company—there were simply too many suspicious points. New Star had hired a team to sway public opinion, but the public forum was heavily suppressed. Caught in the torrent, they couldn’t stir up any waves at all.

The only thing Qiuqiu and Little President Qian could do was notify the other girls who were also trapped in that bloody whirlpool, urging them to seize this opportunity to make a scene. Only by similarly putting their lives on the line at this critical juncture could they obtain compensation and escape.

Qiuqiu felt as though she was once again facing the darkness of this world head-on.

Compared to the 21st century, this place was advanced, possessing magnificent technology and a miraculous Civilization. This was the world of Qiuqiu’s fantasies. But such a world was still ruled by humans. Where there were people and power, there was no equal order—only rampant corruption. Imperial society, a society of nobles... it was truly so dark.

She suddenly grabbed Mo Si’s hand.

Mo Si gave her a questioning look.

"Little Panda, you must work hard!"

"What?" Mo Si paused, not quite understanding those words.

Qiuqiu blinked. "I said, we must work hard to change this universe!"

"We will."

"All darkness will eventually disappear."
