Chapter 71: Lucky Frank

To not even dare to call the police. What does that mean? It indicates that the local police are in cahoots with the human traffickers. Irene's eyes darkened. She could handle such a matter, but the persona she had on the livestream could not. Facing the hopeful eyes of MoonNotRound, Irene said, "I will recommend someone to you. I suggest you report directly to the FBI. Such a case would be a major accomplishment for them." MoonNotRound lowered his eyes in disappointment, "Host, how can you guarantee that person won't...?" Irene smiled, "I'm sure he won't. Have you seen the FBI's report on capturing Decker in City A? He is the FBI's rising star. Even if everyone else might break the law, he absolutely won't." MoonNotRound's eyes widened, "I know a bit about him. Is he really that trustworthy?" Irene nodded firmly, "I'm certain." She looked at MoonNotRound on the screen, who revealed nothing but black clothing, and said, "You've managed to survive under those scumbags' pursuit for so long. I'm sure you have your methods. You can verify it yourself." MoonNotRound nodded briefly and, with a soft thank you, ended the call. Irene then addressed the livestream viewers, "This matter is very serious, so the next part will not be disclosed publicly. We cannot let those who do good deeds end up harmed." **[BlackCat]: The host is right! What a good kid! Human traffickers are truly despicable these days!** **[HappyFamily]: I can't imagine how heartbroken I'd be if it were my child. I support the host!** **[LittleFish]: This script is over the top. Who knows if the video is even real!** The viewers ignored him. Though there were some doubters, they were a minority. At that moment, a conspicuous comment appeared in the livestream. **[FBI City A Branch]: Thank you for your feedback. We have created a file and are reporting it to our superiors for confirmation. We will protect the witness, rest assured. This case will be assigned to Agent Frank. Please check for updates.** The comment was bold and enlarged, making it clear for everyone to see, especially the eye-catching username: FBI City A Branch. **[SleepyCat]: See that? LittleFish, why are you silent now?** **[Tyrannosaur097]: This is officially recognized! Do you accept it or not?** **[HappyFamily]: Haha, see that? LittleFish has even deactivated their account! Hilarious!** **[BlackCat]: Serves him right, probably got cursed out in private messages.** FBI's network staff shared the news in their internal chat group. Many FBI agents began envying Frank. "Really lucky, always stumbling upon good cases! I'm also skilled at solving cases, but it's been ages since I had a big one." "Same here, when will I get my chance? Can't even get bonuses." Amidst the envious looks, Frank took on the case. Ignoring the jealous stares, he efficiently called his subordinates and headed straight to the meeting room to assign tasks. Meanwhile. The livestream gained massive popularity again. It had previously been among the top few in City A, but now it was among the top few on the entire platform. The platform's manager once again marveled at his good judgment, sipping on cola and munching a burger, happily gazing at the contract in his hand. Every year, the platform hosts an event to select the top ten popular streamers. This year's event was a month away. Though he hadn't told Irene, the manager believed that as long as she participated, she would definitely rank high. Even if she didn't make the top ten, being in the top thirty would be great. This was an opportunity to attract fans and traffic! Not to mention the generous prizes. The manager happily registered Irene. Detective streaming wasn't Irene's original idea; others had done it before and were quite popular in the detective community. One big streamer in this niche was named "Witch's Apple." At that moment, Witch's Apple was also streaming, "Thank you, Number One Gifter, for your gift! Thank you so much, really appreciate it." **[Viewer]: Have you heard of a streamer called Detective Agency? Apparently, they're very accurate in solving problems!** **[Fan]: Better than Apple?** **[Viewer]: Different genres. Apple focuses on catching cheaters, analyzing relationships, and giving divorce advice, while the other one deals more with criminal cases.** **[Skeptic]: Criminal cases? More like scams! If they're that good, why not join the FBI? Ridiculous!** As a big streamer, Witch's Apple smiled gently even when others mentioned another streamer in her chat, "We focus on different types. Also, please don't mention me in other streamers' chats. It's disrespectful to them. Our Apple fans are always well-mannered, right?" **[Supporter]: Exactly! Where are the moderators? Kick out that Detective Agency fan! So annoying! No manners at all!** Witch's Apple pretended not to see the comments and lowered her head to read a medical book, then looked up and read a viewer's comment, "Some viewers asked if hiring a private detective is useful. I suggest reporting to the police as the quickest solution. Many new private detective agencies have popped up recently, some good, some bad. Make sure to investigate thoroughly if you want to hire one." Though she didn't say anything outright, her words subtly suggested that Irene's livestream was a scam and criticized her for not managing her fans properly, implying that Irene's fans behaved badly in other livestreams. Praises flooded Witch's Apple's chat. **[Fan]: The host has such a good worldview! I usually don't follow female streamers, but I admit I was wrong.** **[Skeptic]: Such a clear difference! I heard that little streamer plans to compete in the annual selection. That's a joke, thinking she can beat our host?** **[Supporter]: Absolutely, way out of her league! Host, we support you!** Witch's Apple sat elegantly, her clothes refined, exuding a quiet, noble elegance. While she didn't say anything overtly harsh, as a public figure, her words carried influence, and many of her die-hard fans began cursing in Irene's livestream. However, a few had different opinions. **[Dissenter]: Wait, wasn't that a fan of the host just now? A top supporter, I've seen them several times.** **[Skeptic]: Wow, that person got banned. This... the host is a bit scary.** But these comments were quickly drowned out by the flood of other messages.
