Fermenting News

Walking out of the police station, Jay and his three friends look relieved. 

Turning to look behind them, they saw the teenage boy waving at them. 

As a victim of the crime, the teenage boy will be left in the police's custody while they wait for his family that they have already contacted to arrive.

As for Jay and the three, they don't have any direct correlation with the case and so could already go back.

Waving back at the kid, Jay and the three turned their face forward and continued moving.

Soon, they are already far from the police station.

As they were walking, Robert turned his head to Jay and said, "Jay, it's been a while since we were last together like this. Do you want to hang out with us for a while?"

Jay raised his head and saw that 3 pairs of eyes were looking at him expectantly.

A smile can't help but appear on his lips as he jokingly said, "What? Did you guys miss me that much?"

The three paused and looked at each other before laughing. 

"You're still as shameless as before, Jay!"

"Yeah, I thought after you become a college student, you'll be all high and mighty over us."

Robert and Ben said. 

"How could that be possible?" Jay said, shaking his head. 

"You guys are my friends! That wouldn't change unless you guys do something that even me cannot stomach!"

After saying that, Jay thought for a while and said, "Anyway, since you guys invited me and this is such a rare moment that the four of us are together, why don't we go to our old hang out spot?"

The hangout spot that Jay is talking about is actually an internet cafe located not far from their house. 

Back in their younger days, Jay and his friends used to play games there, hearing the voice of other people, arguing as they played online fps and moba games.

Those were fun times for the younger them.

Jay's suggestion received unanimous decision among them. 

"Yes, that's a great idea!"

"I agree! It's been such a long time since I last played there!"

"Let's go!"

At this moment, even the always silent Julio can't help but speak up. 

Seeing that they all agreed, Jay smiled and said, "Alright, let's go and play some games then!"

This whole time, Jay's live stream was open.

Seeing that Jay and the others are already discussing other things, the viewers reacted. 

[It seems like Jay is already going to do his own thing. Does that mean we won't know about what happens next to the case?]

[Hey! Is there anyone who can keep us updated for any news regarding the abduction case?]

[Well, since this seems like a major case, won't the media cover it soon?]

[You have a point.]

[I guess we'll just wait for the news on the tv then!]

[Anyway, has Jay forgotten that he's still streaming? It feels like he already forgot about us. Wahhhh!]

[Yeah, I feel like he already forgot he's still streaming. Jay!! Talk to us!]

[...]

At this moment, Jay also looked at his phone screen and saw the viewer's comments. 

"You guys, what are you even talking about!"

"I'm clearly holding my phone, facing it on my face, how could I forget that I'm live streaming." He chuckled.

Then looking back at the screen with a smile, Jay said, 

"Anyway, as you guys heard, I will be hanging out with my friends for a while. So, this is where the stream will end for now!"

Immediately, Jay saw complaints flood his screen.

[Wow, are you just going to leave us like that?]

[Jay, don't you have any plan on bringing us along?]

[Hmm, maybe the hangout spot they are talking about is actually a… bad place?]

[Wah… you mean, that kind of place?! In broad daylight?!]

[Jayyy!! No, don't go to such places!]

… 

Jay rolled his eyes at them, "What the hell are you guys even thinking. I've never been to that kind of place, okay?"

In order to clear his name, Jay explained, "The place we're talking about is an internet cafe. It was where we used to play when we were younger!"

After explaining briefly, Jay didn't waste anymore time and said goodbye. 

"Anyway, that will be all for now everyone. Thank you for watching!"

The next second, Jay turned off the live and the screen on the phone of his viewers turned black. 

Without surprise, Jay's live stream viewers started cursing.

They complained about how Jay just ended the live stream like that. 

As well as how he could just leave more than ten thousand viewers in an instant. 

You know, having that many viewers is already hard nowadays and it is something that a lot of streamers will never achieve.

But it seems like Jay didn't even care about any of that and just ended the live stream! 

Anyway, Jay couldn't see any of their complaints anymore. 

At this time, he and his friends had already headed towards the internet cafe. 

Reliving their childhood, playing games that they used to play. 

… 

Meanwhile, as Jay is busy in the internet cafe with his friends, the news on the internet regarding the abduction case continues to ferment. 

Soon enough, it also caught the attention of some internet celebrities and even the media.

The internet celebrities started posting and making short videos condemning those criminals acting as drivers. 

While the media immediately started looking for more information about the news in order to publish it. 

As all of these things happen, the company behind the online car-hailing app 'Drive-it' finally released an official statement. 

[To all of the users of our app, we had seen the current news circulating on the internet. In order to ensure the safety of all our users, we will immediately conduct an investigation to see the real events that have transpired.]

[If we found that this news is real, we will make sure that all of the people who used our application to conduct criminal activities will receive their due!]

… 

In just less than an hour, the post on the official page of 'Drive-in' got tens of thousands of likes and comments.
