Chapter 5181

Gena hastened back to the room and found Yadira and Samantha, the two sisters, looking agitated and disgruntled. She could see from their expressions that something had gone awry. "Hey, did you manage to gather all the information?" Gena asked with a sense of urgency. "I hope I didn't miss out on anything important." Yadira scowled. "This family is beyond contempt. We overheard Hannah and the older lady refer to us as 'stinky shit." Samantha joined in, her eyes flashing with anger. "Hannah is the worst of the lot. Not only did she insult us, but she also berated people who paid to watch her broadcast. She is a terrible person." Yadira added, "To top it all off, this despicable Hannah is now planning to pull off even more deceit. She asked her husband and son to feign advanced pancreatic cancer and uremia, respectively. She even wrote a script for the elderly woman to slowly cry and feign blindness. She's a monster!" Upon hearing this, Gena's face twisted with anger. "Let me hear the recording!" she demanded. Without hesitation, Yadira handed her mobile phone over to Gena, who immediately hit the play button and listened intently to every word of Hannah's family conversation in the room. The audio was crystal clear, thanks to Elaine's clever idea to sneak the earphones and microphones into the crack of the door As Gena listened to the entire conversation, her veins bulged with anger. Every fiber of her being wanted to storm downstairs, kick open the door, and drag out the Wilson family one by one and pummel them senseless. But she knew that wasn't the most important thing to do at the moment. The priority was to send all the gathered information to Elaine and have her figure out a way to get Hannah's family exposed online. Gena quickly sprang into action, sending the video she had taken, along with Yadira's audio recording, to the group. Elaine lay in bed, tossing and turning with anticipation. She had set up a new TikTok account and had been watching Hannah's live broadcast from her room. As soon as the live broadcast ended, Elaine eagerly awaited Gena and the others to reveal the true faces of Hannah's family and send her the incriminating evidence. She was on tenterhooks, burning with anxiety. But just as she thought she couldn't wait any longer, both the video and audio files arrived in the group chat. Elaine sat up with a jolt and immediately pressed play on the audio file to listen to the conversation. Whatever she was expecting to hear, she was both furious and thrilled by what she heard. Elaine was incensed by Hannah's despicable behavior. She had to admit, though, that Hannah was a master of the live broadcasting game, adept at selling products, exploiting misery, and manipulating people. She could even analyze data like a pro. The woman had skills, that was for sure. But with these damning recordings in her hands, how could Hannah's family possibly escape unscathed? Elaine wasted no time in downloading both the video and audio files to her phone and opening a video editing software. It wasn't so long ago that a senior citizen like Elaine would have struggled to learn video editing techniques. But thanks to the rapid development and growth of TikTok in recent years, the barriers to entry for short video production have been lowered to an unprecedented extent. Many entrepreneurs have created user-friendly software for TikTok, making video editing simple enough for even the elderly and children to master with ease.

Elaine was no stranger to video editing. She had experience editing small selfie videos, so she knew her way around the software. She deftly opened the program, uploaded the video, and removed the original sound. Then, she seamlessly inserted the audio file she had received. There was only one slightly laborious process left: syncing the audio and video time tracks perfectly. Luckily, the video and audio files were complete, so Elaine only needed to find a clip where the speaker's mouth movements were clearly visible. She could then match the corresponding audio to that clip, and the entire video and audio would be perfectly synchronized. Elaine quickly located a convenient lip-sync clip and flawlessly synced the audio and video, achieving a perfect match. After previewing the entire video and confirming there were no issues, Elaine exported it and watched it again with a happy grin. She couldn't help but sigh, "Hannah, Hannah, I truly underestimated you. I had no idea you could earn hundreds of thousands in just one day. If I tried that, I doubt I could even earn that in a year! But you, my dear, are a master of the trade. This live broadcast has made you a millionaire!" Elaine laughed, shook her head, and added, "It's a pity you can't even begin to imagine that your little scheme has fallen into my hands. With this video, you can forget about becoming a billionaire. If I release this, you won't even be able to eat hot garbage!" Without hesitation, Elaine opened her TikTok and changed her nickname to Elaine, The Anti-Scammer! Her personal profile was updated to read, "A crusader for justice who is unafraid to expose fraud and falsehoods!" After making these modifications, she swiftly uploaded the video. She titled it 'Internet celebrity Hannah fabricates stories and scams viewers, earning hundreds of thousands a day from live broadcasts!' As Elaine hit send, she couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "What if the video is ignored like the previous live broadcast? Even though this revelation is explosive, it'll be all for naught if no one watches it." But Elaine was not one to give up easily. She gritted her teeth and declared, "No way! I'll have to shell out some promotion money. Make it two thousand!" Once Elaine made up her mind, she hit the promotion button and quickly created a plan to boost the video's views. The entire $2,000 promotion budget was devoted to generating clicks. After finalizing the plan, Elaine proceeded to pay and was surprised to find that the actual payment amount was only $1,995. She realized that she had a five-dollars coupon from customer service, and couldn't resist muttering under her breath, "Well, I guess they're not all bad." As soon as she completed the payment, Elaine noticed that her promotion plan was moving at a lightning-fast pace. Within a few moments, $300 of advertising fees had already been consumed. The views on the video were skyrocketing too, growing at an astonishing rate.
