Jay looked at the teenage boy and said,
"Kid, can you tell me your name?"
The teenage boy seems to hesitate for a moment before saying his name.
"... Angelo."
Jay nodded, "Alright, Angelo. Now, let's talk about what we will do."
"First of all, we need to hurry up to the police station and report your situation. Because from the looks of this, the one that took you here should be a part of a crime syndicate."
"Then after that, if the police allow it, we will help you to go back to your home. Is that alright?"
Hearing that they will bring him back home, Angelo raised his head and looked at Jay.
He saw the resolute look on Jay's face and can't help but feel assured.
Nodding, he said, "Yes, please take me back home."
"Good, don't worry, I will do as I've said."
Jay turned around and looked at his old friends and said, "Guys, it's been a while but we can't catch up here just yet."
"Can you come with me? Let's bring this kid to the police station first and report the situation."
Without hesitation, the three of them nodded, "Alright, Jay. We also know how bad this kind of thing is to happen near our place."
"Yeah! Let's hurry up and go now!"
Jay nodded, "Alright, let's go!"
Jay looked at the teenage boy and beckoned at him to follow.
Soon, the group of five people left the alley and started heading to the nearest police station.
…
While Jay and the others are on their way to the police station, his live stream room is also getting hot.
[Everyone, this seems like a really serious situation.]
[Indeed. For an online car hailing app to have dangerous people who kidnap others within them, this makes me question their credibility now!]
[I think all of us can see it. This is a grave situation that needs more people to pay attention to it.]
[Yeah, that way, less people will fall victim to this kind of modus!]
[Just thinking about it, it makes me wonder just how many people have already fell victim to this situation. Maybe there are even those who already…]
[Everyone, for this news to spread more, let's go to our own social media account and post about this news! At the same time, let's share Jay's live stream so that the others can also see what is happening here!]
[I agree!]
[I agree as well! +2]
[+7]
[+10]
[+45]
[...]
Soon, all the viewers on Jay's live stream room went to their own social media accounts and posted about the situation.
Their post soon gathered some attention and comments started appearing.
[Is this real?]
[Woah, this is really scary!]
[What is happening in our world?!]
[Drivers are now kidnapping people? Tsk tsk, I knew it from the beginning, this kind of application cannot be trusted.]
[Dang, I'm a user of the same app. I never thought that something like this was happening within it. It makes me shiver just thinking how that could have been me in that situation.]
[I won't ever use that app again. I also advise the others to stop using it or else, you might become the next victim.]
[By the way, I wanna see what the situation is like now. I'll take a look at the live stream room!]
[Yes, I'll go as well!]
…
Thanks to the various posts on other social media, people started entering Jay's live stream room.
From hundreds of people, it soon reached 1,000 viewers and is still increasing!
At the same time, the posts of his viewers continue to garner attention and have signs of becoming hot!
Maybe it won't take long and the news will go trending.
This will be more conductive to spreading the news and also for letting Jay gain popularity.
…
Oblivious to the events transpiring inside and outside of his live stream room, Jay's attention is all on the road.
It didn't take long for them to reach their destination and they hurriedly went inside the police station.
Walking to the front desk, with a serious tone, Jay said, "Good day, officer. I'd like to report a crime!"
The officer on the front desk at this time is a man with a bit of a young face.
However, when he heard that Jay wants to report a case, his face immediately became serious, making him look dignified.
"A crime? Please tell me about it, sir!"
Nodding, Jay started narrating the story that the teenage boy told him earlier.
After he finished talking, the face of the officer looked solemn and he said,
"This is a big case!"
"Please take a seat first and wait for a bit here. I need to report this to my superior first!"
Without waiting for them to reply, the young officer stood up and went deep inside of the station, leaving the five of them there.
Left on their own, Jay looked at the others with him and they looked back at him.
After a moment, Jay said, "Since they still have to talk about it, let's take a seat first as the officer said."
Taking the lead, Jay sat down on the nearby sofa.
Seeing that, his three friends and the teenage boy hesitated for a second before following suit.
While they're waiting, Jay finally gets the time to take a look at his phone.
But when he did so, he couldn't help but be shocked!
'What happened?!'
The reason for his surprise is none other than the number of viewers in his live stream room.
From the previous hundreds, it has now reached a whopping 12,017 viewers!
That's a number of viewers that Jay didn't expect!
Streamers that have that much viewers in their stream could be said to have already gained a certain number of following.
That means, they already have their own fanbase.
It took them a long time to reach that kind of height!
But now, Jay has also reached it!
This is a milestone!
