Christopher quickly rified, “Officer, you’ve got it wrong. I’m not referring to our current situation… I mean the time when she first began live streaming. Back then, she was in such dire straits that she couldn’t even afford basic necessities. That’s when she decided to try earning rewards through live broadcasting. To our surprise, her audience grew rapidly, leading her to start live streaming products and generate ie, which was either from the broadcasts themselves or afterward.”


    The officer replied coldly, “If you’ve made so much money, why are you still portraying yourselves as suffering? Your wife’s Mercedes-Benz G-ss should cover your living and medical expenses, shouldn’t it? Kind-heartedizens have helped you out. Now that your issues are resolved, why not stop exploiting their sympathy? You have funds you can’t even spend, yet you continue to share your family’s hardships on camera. Do you think that’s appropriate?”


    Christopher was momentarily at a loss for words. He recognized the absurdity of the situation; his family’s needs were minimal, especially since a mere 3,000 yuan could cover their medical costs. Yet, he insisted on raising 30 million through Waterdrop, which was undoubtedly problematic. The police arriving at his door was something he had anticipated.


    In a desperate turn of events, he and his son Harold were carried out of their home with the help of several officers.


    Along with them was the elderly Mrs. Wilson, who had just drifted off to sleep but was startled awake by themotion at the door.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    At that moment, the olddy was unaware of what was urring. Seeing the police carry her son and grandson out, she rushed to inquire, “Harold, what’s going on? Why are the police taking you two?”


    The officer quickly responded, “Ma’am, please don’t misunderstand. We’re not here to arrest you; we just need you to apany us to the station for questioning regarding allegations of fraud.” Mrs. Wilson, rmed, waved her hands in protest, “Officer, my daughter-inw is the one who did anything deceitful. I’ve done nothing wrong! Please don’t take me to jail!”


    While Mrs. Wilson didn’t have any fond memories of the prison, she was filled with panic instead.


    She was aware that her daughter-inw’s actions were shameful and could lead to legal trouble, so she felt a desperate need to distance herself to avoid being implicated.


    However, the officer reassured her, “Ma’am, please try to stay calm. We just need your assistance with the investigation. If there’s nothing amiss, we’ll send you home.”


    With no other option, Mrs. Wilson reluctantly followed the police car.


    Before long, several police vehicles left Tang Chen Yipin and headed toward the city bureau.


    Upon their arrival, the four members of Souna’s family were interrogated separately. Due to their lower endurance for stress, they quickly recounted the entire story. What the police didn’t expect was to discover that both Christopher and Harold were indeed paralyzed.


    Initially, the officers assumed their paralysis was a ruse. However, after reviewing medical records and assessing the two, it became clear that their condition was genuine.<fn689a> Checktest chapters at find[?]ovel</fn689a>


    This revtion put the police in aplicated position.


    If the medical documents were falsified, the family would face fraud charges. But the authenticity of Christopher and Harold’s ailments indicated that Souna had not fabricated documents to deceive the public. Thus, the fraud charges were insufficient.


    Nevertheless, the narrative they had created about their misfortunes had already set a precedent for administrative penalties rted to live streaming sales. Typically, such cases could lead to administrative detention for seven to fifteen days, depending on severity. As a result, the police swiftly decided to detain Souna for ten days, with her short video tform ount being permanently banned. If any criminal evidence arose, her case would be handed over to the procuratorate for prosecution. Although Christopher, Harold, and Mrs. Wilson were considered aplices, it was evident that the father and son were genuinely incapacitated, and given Mrs. Wilson’s age and caregiving responsibilities, she was spared from punishment.


    Ten days of administrative detention was seen as a fortunate oue for Souna; she thought to herself, “Ten days isn’t too bad, as long as my money is safe…”


    However, just as she contemted this, officials from the tax department approached her with serious expressions. “Souna, we’ve verified that your bank ount has exceeded 10 million, yet you haven’t paid a single penny in taxes. Can you exin this?”
