Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

Chapter 744: Heaven Watches

"Of course, some people might question whether this is actually praising the craftsman's pursuit of perfection, how they destroyed works they weren't satisfied with themselves, which is also a tribute to traditional craftsmanship and exquisite techniques—oh, you'd be dead wrong!"

The blogger moved the animation's timeline further along.

"In the final plot, the protagonist's descendant has become a renowned patriotic businessman returning to the country. He donates a precious authentic calligraphy piece to a school and gives a speech on-site."

"And here, I suspect this corresponds to that matter currently trending on Hot Search... ahem, those in the know will understand. As for the truth behind this incident, I also hope everyone can maintain a neutral stance, trust the police's final investigation results, and not be misled by marketing accounts—don't just 'echo chamber.'"

"But this animation's ending is quite clear, not some abrupt blank space."

"Look here—behind this area, several police cars are parked, seemingly maintaining order on-site and protecting everyone's safety. But isn't this also a hint and a warning? Heaven watches what we do. Those who commit shameful deeds will eventually face the long arm of the law..."

Toward the end, the blogger sounded somewhat regretful.

"Although 'Echo Chamber' is only over twenty minutes long, it's packed with substance. There's the sorrow of a shattered homeland, the thrill of climbing higher step by step, and the chilling twist that makes you think deeply. I feel that aside from it being AI-generated, it has already reached the top tier of current animation effects. The character expressions and dynamic scene presentations show no trace of AI at all. If the creator hadn't noted this themselves, many would find it hard to believe."

"As for the short film's title, I find it even more interesting. What does 'Echo Chamber' mean? It emphasizes a lack of independent thinking, the ability to only mechanically repeat others' viewpoints. The ancients used this term to reveal the flaw of imitation in literary and artistic creation, and it also applies to many current public opinion states where the masses blindly follow without thinking. So regarding what everyone is discussing on the internet right now, I only have one thing to say—let the dust settle first!"

The blogger looked seriously into the camera and spoke sincerely: "I heard this year's international competitions will have an AI special category, like Cannes and Venice later on..."

"Friend 'The Righteous Little White,' have you really considered taking this abroad to compete for awards?"

"I truly believe its quality is excellent and has award-winning potential!"

"If there were voting, I would definitely vote for you!"

As one video went viral, other related analysis videos sprang up like bamboo shoots after spring rain.

Netizens exploded after understanding the animation's deeper meaning.

Even though some of Yun Ziqi's fans were still jumping around, defending the Yun family and claiming that an AI-generated animation was inherently unconvincing—completely fictional, without any authenticity, and just malicious slander and fabrication by opponents—

Just as they were defending Yun Ziqi and the Yun family's reputation, resourceful netizens on the internet had already dug up and exposed the detailed "history of the Yun family's rise." Along with their past difficulties they caused for Chinese people, their deliberate refusal to lend out authentic scripts, and their insults toward visitors who came to pay respects—everything was stripped clean and laid bare.

This was enough to ignite everyone's fury.

Most importantly, the exposed matters were not baseless rumors. Many things had been said by the Yun family themselves. For instance, Old Master Yun had previously come to China as a patriotic businessman to attend an economic association conference. During a symposium, he played the victim, talking about the past when the family moved abroad, casually revealing many details.

There was also Yun Ziqi talking about his family's ancestral stories.

At first, it was just heard as an interesting tale, an admiration for their privileged background. But now, with a bit of historical understanding and cross-referencing those events with the era, one could see how flimsy and questionable those stories were.

—So, you're saying that your family fled the country with precious cultural relics originally belonging to China, used these items to establish yourselves abroad, then fooled your own people with fakes, and now you want to come back to China to make money, flaunting yourselves as patriotic, right?

At that moment, netizens were truly furious.

[Folks, we've got a traitor among us! I just searched and found out that quite a few members of the Yun family have returned to China to develop businesses in recent years, spanning many fields. They have equity in both large and small companies. This situation seems to have received some support? Who's going to look into this? It's terrifying.]

[So they're not even considered Chinese anymore? I always thought they were Chinese, Chinese businessmen.]

[Haha, how ridiculous. Previously, Yun Ziqi's grandfather's deeds were marketed domestically for quite a while. I always thought he was a patriotic businessman who left China to develop abroad but still had his heart set on the motherland. But in the end, you're telling me he even changed his nationality? Haha, what kind of patriotism is that? Using our domestic platforms' patriotic label as stream push?]

[Hope they investigate thoroughly!]

[Am I the only one who finds this strange? They refused to lend out Emperor Chen's authentic script all this time, but now they voluntarily loaned it out, only to have it burned in a fire... What's the story behind this? Let me be a little conspiratorial.]

[So, have the investigation results come out yet?]

[Does anyone know which projects the Yun family has invested in? Or which companies they have shares in? I've decided to boycott them. Even though I can only do a little, I want to contribute my small part.]

[Support a thorough investigation! Hope the truth comes out soon!]

On the other side, someone also smiled after seeing this animation.

"This animation is really interesting."

Officer Chen put down the tablet, a thoughtful expression on her face. "How does he know so many things? Some of it even we police haven't fully confirmed yet. His information sources are quite well-connected."

"People like them are sometimes like that. Insiders know things, but they never let the police know."

Officer Mi, having spent years in Beijing—a city filled with privileged classes—had seen too many major families and was no longer surprised. "It must be some major family who couldn't stand the Yun family anymore and made a move."

Dealing with these people was the most exhausting. Their concealment was a reasonable concealment within legal rights, making it impossible to catch them at fault or extract more information.

This was the most headache-inducing part of an investigation.

But he hadn't expected such an oddball to appear now, spilling all the Yun family's secrets.

"I don't think so."

Officer Chen shook her head.

"This doesn't fit their style."

Making an AI animation to satirize the Yun family?

Such a genius and youth-oriented idea couldn't be the style of major families. It was more like someone frequently involved in entertainment and public opinion work, who knew better what audiences liked to watch and pay attention to...

Officer Mi gestured for the officers to investigate this "The Righteous Little White" and said, "Maybe this 'The Righteous Little White' knows even more."

Although given the scale of this exposé, even if the police intervened in the investigation, they probably wouldn't find much more. But the proper procedures still needed to be followed. They also needed to confirm this "The Righteous Little White's" level of danger and stance.

"Whoever it is, they've really helped us this time." Officer Chen stood up. "I heard Yun Shen was supposed to fly abroad for refuge today, but now—"

She curled her lips into a cold smile.

"Not a single one of the Yun family is getting away now."
