The live broadcast room erupted in chaos after hearing the horse thief’s confession.
"What a great Taobao Gang, selling dog meat under the guise of sheep's head, doing all sorts of unspeakable things!"
"Selling precious treasures from our country abroad, they’d do anything for money?"
"Download, download, forward, forward… I’m going to download this live broadcast and share it with more people!"
"That’s right, forward it and let the police see, arrest all those in the Taobao Gang!"
At this very moment, in the provincial live broadcast platform's CEO's office, Xu Haoyu happened to see this video and immediately called the director of the operations department, Fang Ming.
"Fang Ming, immediately enable free downloads for this video and let more people forward it!" Xu Haoyu said to Fang Ming impatiently.
Fang Ming was taken aback and said, "Mr. Xu, this will result in a significant loss of revenue for our platform!"
Xu Haoyu smiled and said, "Old Fang, how can you be so clever all your life yet foolish at this moment!"
"Look at the bullet comments in the live broadcast room, by doing this, we are indirectly helping Cheng Xiaofan to have the police quickly bring the mastermind behind these horse thieves to justice!"
"Can’t you see? Cheng Xiaofan is doing this live broadcast today with the ultimate goal of showing those who have designs on Bai Mang Lake a thing or two!"
"If we do this, Cheng Xiaofan will surely understand!"
Hearing this, Fang Ming felt enlightened and said with a smile, "Mr. Xu, your insight is profound, I'll do it right away!"
After Fang Ming left, Xu Haoyu sighed inwardly.
Ever since he learned that Bai Yiling had sold off the entire Bai Group in C City and invested in Zhuxi Village, he had given up on the idea of taking Cheng Xiaofan as his son-in-law.
Now, Fang Ming felt that what he needed to do was to gradually win Cheng Xiaofan's favor and keep this cash cow close to him.
…
Yicheng, Taobao Shop.
*Slam!*
Tao Duobao coincidentally stumbled upon Cheng Xiaofan's live broadcast and was so enraged that he smashed the cup in his hand, shouting in exasperation, "These four scoundrels are incompetent and useless, they've completely ruined me!"
"It's over, I'm really finished!"
…
Cheng Xiaofan glanced at the bullet comments on the live broadcast and smiled faintly. This was the effect he wanted.
When he clicked on the live broadcast backend, he found that downloads had been changed to free, with over two hundred thousand downloads.
Naturally, Cheng Xiaofan was well aware of the live broadcast platform's actions.
Once this was spread, there was no doubt that the so-called Taobao Gang's good days would come to an end.
No matter who it was, if they dared to cause trouble at Bai Mang Lake, he, Cheng Xiaofan, would not let them off easily.
However, these four people from the Taobao Gang were lucky to have been encountered by the white python this time.
Bai Mang Lake was vast and spread out. If the intruders were numerous and attacked from all sides, it might not be possible for a single white python to guard it.
His brows furrowed slightly.
Cheng Xiaofan called out for Po Tian Ying.
"Screech!"
Po Tian Ying immediately flew to his side.
Cheng Xiaofan instructed, "As the overlord of the sky and the king of beasts on the ground, I give you half an hour to circle Bai Mang Lake. Summon representatives of fierce eagles and beasts to gather here, and tell them to patrol the vicinity more often to prevent criminals from invading Bai Mang Lake!"
"Screech—"
Po Tian Ying chirped in response and immediately spread its wings, taking flight.
"Woof woof!"
Tiao Qi Bao leaped into the air and landed on Po Tian Ying’s back.
How could this kind of public appearance be without this canine?
In just over ten minutes, Po Tian Ying returned, carrying Tiao Qi Bao.
At the same time, various eagles flew from the surrounding primeval forest, a dense flock, perching on the nearby trees.
On the ground, wolves, clouded leopards, wild boars, and even various venomous snakes surged in like a tide.
The four horse thieves entangled by the white python were so scared that they wet themselves when they saw this scene.
Humans have human language, and beasts have beast language.
"Screech—screech—"
"Woof woof… woof woof—"
The eagle and the dog began to give them instructions.
"Heavens, is everything I'm seeing real?"
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it was true!"
"Streamer, is it your eagle and dog that are defying the heavens, or are you defying the heavens?"
"Now I finally understand, the true overlord of the sky, and the king of beasts on the ground, are actually the streamer!"
"Streamer, you are unfair, you've hidden too deeply, a true master is always in disguise!"
"Haha, anyone who has seen this video will probably never dare to have any wicked ideas about Bai Mang Lake again!"
"Excuse me, streamer, when Bai Mang Lake opens to the public in the future, won't these beasts harm tourists?"
Seeing the last bullet comment, Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "You can all rest assured, once Bai Mang Lake is open to the public, these beasts will naturally return to their original places, and there will absolutely be no harm to tourists!"
"Today's live broadcast ends here!"
His objective achieved, Cheng Xiaofan ended the live broadcast.
"Let these four people go!"
He waved his hand at the white python and said.
The white python looked bewildered.
Just let them go?
This python was hungry, wasn't it going to get a taste?
But then it thought, its master's words must be obeyed, and guarding Bai Mang Lake was its duty. Fine, it would let them go.
The white python reluctantly loosened its grip.
Except for one person who had fainted and was still unconscious on the ground, the other three were as limp as mud and knelt before Cheng Xiaofan.
"Thank you, sir, for sparing our lives!"
"We will never dare to come here again!"
"After we return this time, we will wash our hands of our past deeds, reform ourselves, and become new people. We will also advise others never to harbor wicked intentions towards white pythons!"
"How did you find Bai Mang Lake?"
It was a joke. With one white python already causing them to fall, and seeing so many beasts joining the Bai Mang Lake defense organization, they wouldn't dare to step foot here again even if they were given carte blanche!
At that time, they would be torn apart and devoured by these beasts, truly dying for nothing!
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan suddenly thought of this issue.
Since he started live broadcasting, he had never revealed his location to his fans, not even the name Zhuxi Village had been mentioned outside.
As for the live broadcast platform, they would not reveal his identity to the outside world either.
As early as when the contract was signed, there was a confidentiality agreement included.
One of them replied, "Tao Duobao purchased an advanced instrument abroad two years ago. As long as the downloaded video is input into it, it can immediately generate a location and find the specific spot where the video was filmed."
Cheng Xiaofan had never heard of such an advanced positioning instrument before.
"Alright, you can leave now!" Cheng Xiaofan waved at them and said.
"Thank you, sir, we're leaving now, immediately!"
The three men picked up their unconscious companion from the ground, not even bothering to take their tranquilizer guns, and ran towards the helicopter as if they had been granted a great pardon.
After those people left in the helicopter, Cheng Xiaofan patted the white python’s head and said, "You did very well, I'll reward you with two energy pills!"
He took out two energy pills from his spatial dimension and directly threw them into the white python's mouth.
