Chapter 809 - 809: Livestream Slander
Today the weather is nice, Lin Feng looked at the sky and decided to drive his taxi.
Meeting all sorts of people and wandering around different places, Lin Feng really enjoyed this job.
But not every ride was so pleasant.
Today, Lin Feng encountered a conceited young woman who almost drove him up the wall.
Xia Liang, the girl dressed fashionably and attractively, her makeup was also lovely, Lin Feng couldn't help but glance at her outfit.
He thought maybe this skirt would look great on Xiaobao too.
It had been ages since he last bought Xiaobao any clothes; perhaps he should ask about the link and buy one for Xiaobao.
"What are you looking at? Have you never seen a woman before?"
The woman in the back suddenly blurted out, leaving Lin Feng dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Did she misunderstand?
Despite the harsh words, Lin Feng thought he should explain.
"Young lady, I..."
But he was interrupted by the young lady, "You're quite old, if you want to look at women, don't look at me!"
"Look at me again, and I'll report you! Drive the car."
She muttered something disgusting, making Lin Feng, who hadn't lost his temper in years, angry.
"First, I only glanced at you when you got in the car, didn't stare!"
"Second, your appearance is just ordinary, why would I stare at you?"
"Lastly, who gave you the confidence to think your charm could intrigue someone at just one glance?"
These words from Lin Feng infuriated the young lady, shattering her image as she started cursing loudly.
She cursed while holding her phone.
"What's your license plate number? What's your name, I'm reporting you to the platform."
Then, she called the platform, distorting the facts right off the bat.
"Hello, is this the ride platform?"
"The driver of car plate number DY67878 verbally abused me, and even laid hands on me!"
"Verify? I'm right here, does it need verification?"
"You must resolve this matter quickly, or I'll expose it."
Humans evolving at varied paces was something Lin Feng knew, yet he was still dumbfounded by her behavior.
Wow, this young lady looked young and pretty, but how could she have such poor character?
The dashcam was still recording, and she dared to lie like this?
She must be seriously ill or something?
After hanging up, the young lady started recording videos.
"Everyone, beware of this driver, he ogled me as soon as I got in the car, and cursed at me!"
"Remember the car plate number and don't get in this car. I'm afraid he's a bad person!"
"Everyone, stay safe out there..."
While recording the video, the young lady completely switched her demeanor, smiling sweetly in a cutesy voice.
Lin Feng was speechless and finally turned to give the young lady a direct look.
"I say, young lady, there's a camera recording, you need evidence for what you say."
The young lady pointed her phone camera at Lin Feng, "Everyone, remember this driver's face..."
Then, she froze, shocked by the appearance of Lin Feng, this older gentleman.
Lin Feng took care of himself well; even dressed plainly, he was easily recognizable as a successful person.
The maturity Lin Feng exuded was a testament to the passage of time.
He embodied the charm of a 'mature gentleman' vividly.
As the young lady hadn't yet reacted, the live-streaming audience was also taken aback.
Lin Feng, once the celebrated "National Dad" and "National Father-in-law."
With the rapid iteration of online information, Lin Feng was no longer the big internet celebrity he once was, his fame had somewhat declined.
But faced with this unforgettable face, they could immediately recognize him!
"OMG, isn't this Mr. Lin? Is he really driving taxis now?"
"No way, is Mr. Lin like this in private? Seriously?"
"Is this for real? Who's telling the truth here?"
"Appearances can be deceiving, the side we saw might have been what they wanted us to see!"
"Yeah, so many celebrities have been exposed recently, haven't they?"
Recently, many male and female stars in the entertainment industry have been exposed, making people lose faith in personas.
Lin Feng, as a good man, husband, and father, with these personas, in this time, was bound to be implicated.
Moreover, there had been recent reports about drivers as well.
Therefore, the live stream comments were now heavily polarized.
On one side were people who believed in Lin Feng's character.
On the other side were those accusing him of hypocrisy.
Lin Feng hadn't wanted to quibble with a young lady, just wanted to give her a mild rebuke and let it go.
Unexpectedly, the girl publicly slandered him through a live stream.
At his age, being publicly vilified like this was unbearable.
On second thought, his anger dissipated.
Some people were simply bad to the core.
He said calmly, "Young lady, people have to be responsible for their words and actions."
This young lady, now committed, didn't expect the person she confronted was the renowned Director Lin.
But she was bold, thinking this might be her shot at fame.
As for what might happen later, she'd deal with it then.
After turning this over in her mind, the young lady insisted she was telling the truth.
Lin Feng seeing the situation, said nothing, "Then we will go by the procedure."
He immediately called a lawyer, briefly explaining the events, and then had the young lady get out of the car.
The young lady was still trying to save face, "Alright, let's go by the procedure."
Watching the car drive away, the young lady felt uneasy, unsure of what she might face next.
But when she saw the number of viewers on her live stream, her worries vanished instantly.
People as wealthy as them probably wouldn't bother with small figures like her, she thought.
Later, she could just cry and apologize, and it'd be fine.
After all, she got her fame, and whatever money she could grab.
"I won't compromise; even if they have money, the truth shouldn't be distorted!"
Soon, the incident quickly climbed to the top of the trending list.
And as one of the parties involved, the young lady also gained some fame from it.
However, she hadn't warmed the seat of the top trending spot for five minutes before another trending topic bumped her off.
Lin Feng's lawyer @ the young lady's account and filed a lawsuit.
The professionals acted swiftly, submitting the relevant videos, audio, and other evidence.
Meanwhile, the legal team wasn't stingy about releasing this evidence.
One was a video of the young lady waiting for a car, another was the in-car surveillance video, and the last was a video after the young lady got out.
The video times were seamlessly connected, with no traces of editing.
The audio part was when the young lady called the platform to complain, her overbearing demeanor was completely different from her live stream.
This was awkward; those who scolded Lin Feng couldn't keep it up for five minutes.
Those who supported the young lady felt a metaphorical slap in the face and instantly turned back on her.
"Speechless, this turnaround happened so fast, my watermelon is still chillin'."
"I've always believed in Mr. Lin's character, to raise such a good child, the parents must be upright too."
"Haha, her looks aren't even all that, where's the confidence thinking she's getting ogled?"
"I'm her classmate; this person isn't attractive at all, it's all makeup!"
"Have those who said she's pretty seen her without makeup?"
"She had a lot of negative news before, but because she wasn't popular, no one paid too much attention."
"She's really bad; you guys don't know, but I do! What goes around comes around, now she's facing it."
"Why provoke Mr. Lin? Serves her right!"
"Wow, this lawyer boss is my teacher!"
