Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Account Unbanned Again

“President Zhang? I need you to unban a Douyin Live Stream account for me. The account name is ’Xiao Shen Divination.’ What? My mom ordered the ban? Just tell me, can you unban it or not? I’ll handle my mom, you just unban it first. If there are any problems, I’ll… President Zhang? President Zhang! Did he hang up on me?”

“Don’t worry, Great-Grandma. I’ll call my mom right now.”

“Hey, Mom, can you unban the account you got banned on Douyin Live Stream? No? Why not? Mom, she’s really not a charlatan! Listen to me, Mom, it’s not what you think… Mom? Mom! You hung up on me too, Mom!”

“It’s okay. If it comes to it, I’ll just call my dad. Great-Grandma, just wait a moment.”p>

“Hello, Dad, it’s me…”

Before Jin Fan could finish, the call was disconnected again. ’He hung up again?’

Jin Fan honestly felt like bashing his head against the wall.

Everyone said he was the Jin family’s eldest son, a bona fide crown prince, yet he couldn’t even handle a simple task like this.

’What’s the point of being a crown prince, then!’

’No, I can’t let Great-Grandma look down on me!’

So, Jin Fan dialed Jin Huai Zhong’s number once more.

After the call was disconnected five consecutive times, Jin Huai Zhong finally answered.

“I’m in a meeting. What kind of trouble are you stirring up now? If you need something, go find your mother!”

Jin Fan said in a small voice, “Dad, I was in a car accident the day before yesterday…”

Jin Huai Zhong’s tone softened. “Your mother told me. You might be paralyzed from the neck down. But don’t worry. Since you’re a member of the Jin family, the family will certainly take care of you for the rest of your life.”

For a moment, Jin Fan felt a sting in his nose, his heart filled with a mix of joy and sorrow.

He was happy that no matter how heartless his father was, he was at least willing to provide for him for the rest of his life.

He was sad that aside from money, there was no other sign of concern.

“Dad, my friend’s Douyin Live Stream account was banned. President Zhang at the platform isn’t giving me any face. Could you have a word with him and get my friend’s account unbanned?”

Normally, Jin Huai Zhong wouldn’t have bothered with such a trivial matter.

But today, perhaps because he felt pity for Jin Fan for being paralyzed, he granted his request.

And so, he readily agreed.

Jin Huai Zhong had always been decisive and efficient. The matter he’d agreed to was handled swiftly.

President Zhang even called Jin Fan personally, claiming the signal had been poor and the call had dropped; he hadn’t hung up on purpose.

The account was now unbanned. Jin Fan wasn’t one to hold a grudge. With Shen Zhiyao present, he didn’t want to argue with President Zhang, so he just gave a few perfunctory replies and hung up.

Then, taking credit, he said, “There. Your account is unbanned. You can start streaming whenever you want! My dad personally vouched for you, so no one will dare mess with you again!”

“Thanks!” After saying this, Shen Zhiyao stood up to leave.

Jin Fan shouted after her, “Hey, hey, hey, don’t go! I’m so bored in the hospital all by myself. Stay and keep me company!”

Shen Zhiyao said, “I’m in a hurry to start my stream, so I’m leaving!”

Jin Fan wanted to say more, but he’d forgotten that the cuts on his leg hadn’t healed. His sudden movement had torn at the wound, and he cried out in agony.

When the nurse on duty heard the noise and rushed in, she saw the patient who had been diagnosed with paralysis clutching his leg and wailing in pain…

That night, the attending physician and all of the hospital’s specialists rushed back to the hospital to run a full battery of tests on Jin Fan.

But both the X-rays and the CT scans clearly showed his spine was perfectly intact and his nerves were completely undamaged—exactly as they had been before the car accident.

The contrast with his previous test results was simply unbelievable, so they surrounded Jin Fan, peppering him with questions.

Shen Zhiyao had saved his life, and of course, he remembered her warning: This matter could not be known by anyone.

So, Jin Fan sat up in bed and said arrogantly, “You’re the doctors, and you’re asking me? How should I know? Maybe your hospital’s scanner made a mistake, or the machine is just broken.”

“I was perfectly fine, but you misdiagnosed me with paralysis. You’re not just trying to scam me for more medical fees, are you?”

“Seriously, what’s so interesting about me that you’re all gathered around studying me? It was really just a misdiagnosis by your hospital!”

“Can you please stop crowding around me! I’m trying to watch a live stream! I’m dying of impatience here!”

…

Last night, Shen Zhiyao’s stream had been interrupted and her account banned, causing quite a stir online.

Although her follower count wasn’t yet top-tier, her fans’ loyalty and engagement levels far surpassed those of many A-list streamers.

Quite a few people even went to Douyin’s official channels to complain.

But even more people thought Shen Zhiyao wouldn’t be coming back.

Mainly because, for years, not a single account officially banned by Douyin had ever been reinstated.

In their desperation, some fans even flocked to Zhou Ye’s Weibo page to comment:

[Do you know our streamer’s Weibo account? I can’t find her. If you know, please DM me.]

[Who is ’your streamer’? If you can’t find her, go look somewhere else. Why are you coming to our idol’s page?]

[I’m a fan of Zhou Ye and Xiao Shen Divination. Xiao Shen Divination is Zhou Ye’s ex-girlfriend, the one who caused that scene at his fan concert.]

[Oh, so it’s that clout-chaser! Our idol has said he’s never dated anyone. The photos were all faked. Don’t start rumors, don’t spread rumors. Please be rational about this. Thanks!]

[Zhou Ye, get the hell out here! Stop pretending! You know damn well what your relationship with our streamer is! Her account being banned is definitely your dirty work! Zhou Ye, get the hell out here!]

[Her account was banned because she was brainless and violated the rules. What does that have to do with our idol? Stop acting like a rabid dog, attacking everyone you see!]

The two fanbases immediately started a war in the comments under Zhou Ye’s videos, churning out more than twenty thousand replies.

Zhou Ye was surprised that Shen Zhiyao’s fans, who only numbered in the hundreds of thousands, were actually more active than his own millions of followers.

He’d simply forgotten that more than half of his own Weibo followers were bots.

Just when everyone thought Shen Zhiyao would never appear on Douyin again, she started her stream right on schedule at 10 p.m.

Quickly, the fans who reacted fast enough flooded into the stream.

[AHHHHHH, Streamer, you’re finally back! I’m so excited I could cry!]

[Streamer, what happened to you over the past day and night? Why did Douyin suddenly ban your account?]

[I fought three hundred rounds with Zhou Ye’s fans on Weibo for you, Streamer. That bastard Zhou Ye hides behind his fans whenever there’s trouble and hasn’t said a single word in response. What a coward!]

[Streamer, Streamer, I’m begging you, please make a Weibo account. That way, if we lose contact again, we’ll have a place to find you.]

Looking at these enthusiastic fans, a rare smile appeared on Shen Zhiyao’s usually cold face.

“Sorry to keep you all waiting. The platform banned the wrong person by mistake. Fortunately, they rectified it in time and unbanned me.”

“I don’t have a Weibo account, but now that you all mention it, I think it’s necessary for me to register one.”

After saying that, Shen Zhiyao downloaded Weibo and registered for an account.

While registering, she discovered the name “Xiao Shen Divination” was already taken.

So, she simply used her real name, “Shen Zhiyao,” to register.
