This time, with both a witness and physical evidence, the man was caught completely off guard by the trap.

The officers didn’t mince words. After praising Chloe Sinclair as a model citizen of Zenthia, they took the man into custody and left.

However, in the livestream chat, where viewers had been enjoying the drama all day, everyone was completely stunned by her move.

Once it sank in, they erupted in a chorus of praise.

"Holy shit, that’s Chloe Sinclair for you. That brilliant move nearly gave me a heart attack."

"Chloe Sinclair: How much money do you want?

Thug: A million!

Chloe Sinclair: Officer, I’d like to report a crime!"

"One word: incredible!"

"Someone calculate the psychological damage to the robber."

"I’m dying laughing. I was wondering what she was doing at the hospital, but I never expected her to pull a move like that. It left me speechless."

"You’re not the only one. I bet the robber himself is still reeling."

"That robber was a real piece of work, too. He scraped a bit of skin off his kneecap and claimed he was going to be permanently disabled. I bet the wound healed before the nurse even had time to grab the disinfectant."

"It was just that guy’s bad luck to run into Chloe Sinclair."

"Chloe Sinclair—a textbook example of how it’s done."

"I finally understand the meaning of ’having both a witness and physical evidence.’ Chloe Sinclair’s brilliant move just now was a perfect, crystal-clear demonstration."

The buzz from the livestream quickly spread to Weibo.

Many experienced viewers had screen-recorded the livestream and posted the clips online.

Since the incident was already trending and had a large following, related hashtags like #ChloeSinclairTheSwindler shot straight to the top of Weibo’s hot search rankings.

Moreover, many official accounts reposted the video to short-form video platforms, where the view count soared past ten million.

You could say Chloe Sinclair had once again gone viral, breaking into the mainstream.

In his office at the Shaw Group, a man watched the livestream on his computer while his assistant briefed him on the rest of his schedule.

But the assistant could clearly tell that his boss wasn’t focused.

So, he stopped talking and asked, "Sir, is something wrong?"

A flash of confusion crossed Jasper Shaw’s eyes. ’Why hasn’t she come to me for help yet?’

’It’s been three hours since the incident on the show blew up, but Chloe Sinclair hasn’t made a single phone call to me.’

’Isn’t she planning to sue the extortionist?’

’My company’s legal team isn’t busy right now. Wouldn’t it be perfect for them to take on this case?’

If Ian Winters knew what was going through his boss’s mind at that moment, he would feel quite sorry for the company’s legal team.

But if the boss says you’re not busy, then you are most certainly not busy.

"Sir, Miss Sinclair is likely still filming. Perhaps you could interact with her online."

Jasper Shaw’s eyes lit up.

"Your words just reminded me. Quick, have the company’s legal department issue a letter stating our intent to sue him!"

’Daring to extort my woman is the same as extorting me!’

’This is absolutely intolerable.’

"Sue him for everything he’s got!"

Ian Winters: "..."

’Ever since he started dating,’ he thought, ’my boss has become increasingly childish.’

’After all, he never would have acted like this in the past.’

But his boss had spoken, and as a hyper-competent, 24/7 secretary, he had to obey.

"I’ll get right on it."

As he left, he made sure to remind Jasper Shaw of his remaining schedule for the day.

Ian Winters moved quickly. Ten minutes later, the Shaw Group’s legal department issued a public notice.

An entire team of corporate lawyers was suing a lone extortionist.

The public: "..."

It felt a bit like overkill.

However, anyone with eyes could see that this was a gesture to protect Chloe Sinclair.

Her fiancé was looking out for her!
