The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 28 - 27 The Strange Noises from the Radio

The sudden current noise from the radio shattered the surrounding tranquility.

Everyone's eyes widened as they stared at the scrapped radio beneath the camera, holding their breath.

It was a bit unbelievable.

The previously lively live stream had suddenly gone quiet.

It was as if everyone froze in that moment.

Could it really be working?

This was just too eerie.

On this late night, everyone was just joking around, trying to see if the abandoned radio still worked.

But now that the radio had started making noises and broadcasting, wouldn't it scare people?

If someone were faint-hearted, they might have been scared to death.

Luckily, there weren't many faint-hearted among the fishermen—would they have come out for night fishing if they were?

Definitely not.

Fang Hao was only startled for a moment, his gaze fixed on the radio that had unexpectedly started to make noise.

"Glug..."

"This... isn't it haunted?"

A viewer typed out the comment shakily in the chat.

A radio that had sunk to the bottom of the lake for who knows how many years, already scrapped, suddenly making noises—what else could it be but a haunting?

"We were just joking, Mr. Ghost, please don't come after us."

"We have great respect for you, Mr. Ghost, if there's any problem, just find the host!"

Damn, these disloyal guys.

But Fang Hao didn't think there was really a ghost.

He felt there might be some issue with the radio that was supposedly scrapped suddenly making a noise.

Or perhaps the battery still had some residual charge.

"Zzzt... Welcome..."

"Zzzt... Tuning..."

"The latest entertainment news... Zzzt."

The voice was intermittent, and there was a mix of noisy electrical sounds, but it was still possible to make out what was being said.

They were currently broadcasting entertainment news.

"Blue Star, August 26, 3022... zzzt... Recently, the Yanjing police, in the process of investigating a criminal case... zzzt... apprehended actor Yi Jianqiu. He has confessed to repeated illegal sexual... transactions, and he has been administratively detained according to the law..."

Everyone in the live stream heard the news loud and clear.

The room fell silent once more.

For many, this news was nothing short of a bombshell.

Who was Yi Jianqiu? He was once one of the top traffic-driving celebrities, a top-tier popular idol in the country.

Even though his popularity had waned slightly as he aged, his successful transition and refined acting skills in several films and TV dramas had kept his popularity at a high level.

Suddenly hearing news about him on the radio was like a bombshell—how could the audience not be shocked?

Everyone knew him for having a good reputation and public image.

This news was like dropping a bomb.

"Fuck..."

"Is this real?"

The attention of everyone now focused on this piece of entertainment news.

No one cared anymore about how the scrapped radio came to be making sounds.

Nor was anyone considering the possibility of a haunting.

Right then, this news was even more sensational than a ghost story!

"I'll go check it out."

After hearing the news, some immediately went online to check.

Some searched Baidu, while others checked the trending topics on Weibo.

But, oddly enough...

They found no related news.

"Eh, I couldn't find anything."

"There's nothing."

"Not trending either."

"Is this fake news?"

Everyone came back to their senses, wondering if the radio had broadcasted a fake news story.

Because they couldn't find any information.

If there had been any news, the internet would have been buzzing with it.

"Phew, that scared me to death, I almost thought my favorite star had scandal."

One viewer breathed a sigh of relief; she was a fan of Yi Jianqiu.

She was almost terrified when she heard the news.

More panicked than anyone else.

"Right?"

"But Yi Jianqiu is so handsome; why would he need to pay for such services? He could have any girlfriend he wants."

"Exactly."

"Even if he were looking for fans, so many would be willing. There's no need for him to go to those places."

That was their perspective; they all believed it was fake news.

In fact, it was the view of many.

Considering his status and capabilities, there was no need for him.

"Host, don't mess around."

"Playing around like this could offend a bunch of celebrity fans."

"If it becomes a trending topic, you..."

Some viewers thought it might be a prank by Fang Hao and advised him not to cause trouble.

Becoming a trending topic meant spreading rumors.

But Fang Hao wasn't concerned with all that.

His attention was on the news just broadcasted.

"August 26?"

"But today is only the 24th!"

Did this mean the news was from two days in the future?

Fang Hao was dumbfounded: what was this thing?

While everyone else was fixated on the content of the message, Fang Hao focused on the date.

As for Yi Jianqiu, he didn't care—he didn't even know him.

He didn't follow the fresh-faced celebrities of this world.

"Wait."

"Did anyone catch the date mentioned in the broadcast?"

Even in this scenario, someone else had noticed the detail.

After all, with so many people in the live stream, someone would have noted the date.

"I think it was August 26, right? What about it?"

"Yes, I also heard August 26."

"Yeah, what about the date?"

The audience hadn't caught on yet, not quite grasping the significance.

"What about it, have a look at what today's date is!"

"August 24... fuck, it's only the 24th today?"

"What's going on?"

Finally, everyone realized that the timing was off.

"So the radio just broadcasted entertainment news for two days from now?"

"Hahaha... that's too fake."

A good chunk of the audience thought it was a prank and didn't take it seriously.

Those who had been worried relaxed immediately.

"It's probably just a joke concocted by the host for the live stream."

"But host, this is dangerous. It's easy to cause misunderstandings and get criticized."

"To be honest, as a fan of Yi Jianqiu, I really wanted to criticize the host just now. That's quite a risky joke."

Only a few people felt that something was off—as if the radio wasn't quite right from the beginning.

They noticed that Fang Hao seemed unaware of all this.

"Host... isn't there something wrong with the radio you just fished up?"

After the radio broadcasted that piece of entertainment news, it suddenly went silent as if the battery had died, and there was no further sound.

Once again, all returned to calm.

But the uproar caused by the radio wasn't minor at all.
