IBO -Chapter 154 Verdict of the Black-Hearted Male Seller

This novel contains sensitive and taboo content like R*pe, Mu**er etc. Read only if you are comfortable.

The platform’s investigation results came out.

Testing showed that the hair-growth serum’s actual effect did not match its advertised claims. The seller was judged guilty of false advertising.

Although the seller had closed the shop and fled, the platform forcibly reopened it, froze his accounts, and refunded Song Fu’s purchase.

The store was sealed, and all products and orders were under review.

The platform publicly announced the incident, causing a huge stir online.

【Damn it! I bought their sunscreen! No wonder it didn’t work—I got tanned like a coal miner! Give me my money back!】

【I thought cheap meant bad quality. Turns out expensive can be bad too…】

【So pricey, yet still fake advertising. Disgusting!】

Many people traced the incident back to Xiao Zhong’er’s post.

【I know it’s immoral, but the kid in the photo is so funny—like a mop head. My conscience and my laughter are fighting.】

【I heard it was hard not to laugh. Clicked in—yeah, impossible. Sorry, kid, but I laughed.】

【That seller’s alt account is disgusting—changing topics and spreading sexual rumors.】

【So shameless!】

【Selling fake goods and blaming kids for misuse? Despicable.】

On Planet S, District D, in a rented room.

The black-hearted seller—a middle-aged man—stared red-eyed at the punishment notice.

Not only was his shop sealed, but he had to pay ten times the platform fees. If he didn’t, he’d be sued.

He also received a court notice: the buyer’s family really was suing him.

He regretted everything.

Why did he have to go provoke them?

Now he was doomed.

A family that could give a four-year-old 800,000 freely usable credit points was obviously not ordinary. Their wealth could crush him.

They could afford top lawyers.

And his accounts were frozen. He only had 8,000 credit points left.

Still, he had a way out.

With 8,000 points, he could buy a ticket off-planet.

After packing, he opened the door to flee—

A strong hand shoved an arrest warrant in front of his face.

Police surrounded the doorway, badges gleaming.

The leading officer smiled gently, but her eyes were sharp like a hunting beast.

“We are the S Planet Law Enforcement Team. This is an enforcement operation.”

“You are suspected of false advertising, spreading rumors, and fraud. Come with us.”

The man’s vision went black.

He was restrained immediately.

He now faced lawsuits from Song Yiran, the platform, and other victims.

Evidence was complete.

There was no escaping.

Soon, he was escorted to court.

Because there were many plaintiffs in different locations, they joined the trial online.

To calm victims, the platform covered all legal costs and provided professional lawyers.

With solid evidence, the court ruled:

The defendant was guilty on multiple counts.

He had to pay compensation—

And would spend the rest of his life in prison.

The middle-aged man was about to face an enormous compensation payment and a prison sentence. The amount of compensation was so huge that all the money in his accounts combined was still not enough to cover it…

For the rest of his life, he would only be able to undergo reform through labor in prison. All the money he earned from labor would be transferred to the platform and the victims. He wouldn’t get a single credit for himself.

When the middle-aged man heard the verdict, his face instantly turned pale, and large beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

No one sympathized with him. After all, he had brought this upon himself.

He was escorted away by law enforcement officers. Ten minutes later, he would be sent onto a starship bound for prison. Twenty minutes later, he would lose his freedom, and for the rest of his life, he would only be doing labor reform behind bars.

The middle-aged man suddenly felt regret. If he had known it would turn out like this, he would never have engaged in false advertising… and he definitely wouldn’t have used an alt account to deliberately attack the victims online…

If life could start over, he would never dare to break the law again!

But now it was too late. The verdict had already been handed down. The rest of his life would be spent in prison…

The court sealed all of his accounts, including the 8,000 credits he had on him. All of this money was distributed to the platform and the victimized buyers.

It wasn’t even enough to cover half of the compensation. The remaining majority would have to be repaid through the money he earned from labor reform in prison.

After seeing the black-hearted seller receive his deserved punishment, Xiao Zhong’er immediately raised his arms and cheered.

“Yay! Scum like him deserves to stay in prison for life and do labor reform!”

Song Fu jumped happily. “Yay! He really got what he deserved!”

Song Xianyue chimed in happily, “That’s right, that’s right! So satisfying!”

Song Yinyun corrected her, “It’s ‘deeply satisfying.’”

The children gathered together to celebrate their victory in court, while also condemning the black-hearted seller.

“We won the lawsuit!”

“Hahaha, that guy was so bad—he deserves to stay in prison and reform properly!”

“Exactly! I even saw what he said on his alt account. He was clearly at fault, yet he dared to scold Fifth Brother and push the blame onto Fufu, saying Fufu didn’t follow the instructions. That’s way too much!”

“He’s such a big villain! Good thing we defeated him!”

“Yeah! He’s a total bad guy. He even scammed so many people!”

“He’s awful! Selling things so expensively and still cheating people… and even scolding Fifth Brother! Big bad guy!”

The children had only seen half of the posts made by the seller’s alt account “Beauty & Hair,” and they were already furious, immediately condemning him.

Song Xiuhu continued scrolling through the outrageous comments from “Beauty & Hair” and soon saw the part where he spread obscene rumors.

His pupils shrank.

If he remembered correctly, that was when… Song Yiran had taken over the account.

Staring at those defamatory posts, Song Xiuhu unconsciously dug his claws into the floor, leaving several small holes.

Why spread rumors?

Why accuse Song Yiran of being a mistress?

Why claim their family’s money came from selling his body?

Song Xiuhu couldn’t understand it. No matter how hard he thought, he couldn’t figure it out…

He recalled his days as a stray.

Every morning, the first thing he thought about was how to survive, how to find enough food, and how to avoid being bullied by troublesome kids.

He had never provoked them. He always tried to avoid them. But they refused to leave him alone—throwing stones at him and hurling insults.

There were many things he couldn’t understand.

He didn’t understand why those kids bullied him.

He didn’t understand why that black-hearted seller slandered Song Yiran.

Had they done anything wrong?

Had he done anything wrong back then?

Had Song Yiran done anything wrong?

Moreover, that account originally belonged to Xiao Zhong’er. Song Yiran had only helped log in to argue for him, so in a way, the seller was also slandering Xiao Zhong’er.

But what had Xiao Zhong’er done wrong?

Xiao Zhong’er only made a post to defend Song Fu.

And what had Song Fu done wrong?

Song Fu had merely bought a bottle of hair-growth serum online and ended up harmed by it. Xiao Zhong’er was just helping him seek justice.

None of them had done anything wrong…

So why did that seller treat them like this?

One by one, the other children also scrolled to the part where the rumors appeared. Their hearts sank, and Song Chiyu immediately burst into tears.

“Waaah… that’s so mean… How can he spread nasty rumors? How can he say the big brothers are mistresses… Waaah… so mean…”

In Song Chiyu’s eyes, since Song Yiran had used the account before, the seller had slandered both Song Yiran and Xiao Zhong’er at once.

Song Fu was so angry that he cried too.

“Waaah… why is he so bad? Big bad guy! I want to bite him!”

“Waaah… waaah…”

Crying among children was contagious. One became two, two became three, and soon all the cubs were crying loudly.

Song Yiran had no choice but to squat down and wipe their tears one by one. Xiao Zhong’er helped soothe them, while Song Yutu, though impatient, still crouched down and gently patted their backs.

Song Yiran comforted them:

“It’s okay, it’s okay. The bad person has already received his punishment. He’ll spend the rest of his life doing labor reform in prison.”
