Chapter 605 - The Answer!
Chapter 605: The Answer!
“Hurry up and apprehend him, my Hyun-Min Oppa is suffering so much. He’s been kneeling for so long! ” Those diehard fans felt extremely distressed.
“We’ll get down to it right away,” Sergeant Gao said.
The next moment, however, his mobile phone rang without warning, and he apologized, “I’m sorry, this call is extremely important. Let me answer it first. I promise it’ll be quick!”
Once he finished his sentence, he picked up his phone and placed it in his ear to answer the call. “Uh, yes.”
Those diehard fans were getting anxious and looked at the other police officers.
“Ah, I forgot that the handcuffs used for making arrests are in the car. I’m going to get them!”
“You just reminded me that my notebook fell somewhere inside the car. I’ll have to pick it up.”
“I didn’t bring my pen to write down the transcript. My memory is terrible.”
“Eh? My phone is ringing too. Sorry, I have to take this.”
One by one, all of them suddenly had things to attend to and were swamped with their obligations. There was no end to their phone calls and none of the officers came forward to apprehend Ye Lingchen.
Hyun-Min Kim’s face looked like he had a stroke. His eyes were full of anger and he was just waiting to let his anger loose.
He was already mentally prepared when he saw the police coming and had even thought of what to say. He was adamant to make Ye Lingchen pay the ultimate price. He felt that he would not live up to his name if he did not sue Ye Lingchen and put him in jail.
He wanted Ye Lingchen to pay for what was done!
Hyun-Min Kim was excited when the police came and fantasized about Ye Lingchen being arrested, but unfortunately, the police stopped and left hastily.
What was going on…
What could be more important than arresting a criminal?
“Blah! Blablabla?!”
With his swollen face, Hyun-Min Kim screamed at the police in a distorted voice.
The bodyguards also began yelling. Some of them could speak Chinese and shouted, ” Help! Chinese thugs! You owe the Stick Nation an explanation! Why do you Chinese treat us this way? I want you to compensate us for our losses!”
The bodyguards were genuinely upset since they were always treated to luxury whenever they followed Hyun-Min Kim. When did they ever suffer such shame and humiliation?
Hyun-Min Kim was partially on the brink of collapse. The incident would result in lots of negativity and his reputation would definitely take a hit. Above all, he was also disfigured, which meant that there was no longer any path for him in the entertainment industry! All he wanted at that point was revenge!
The police gestured an ‘OK’ to Hyun-Min Kim before signaling him to wait. Still, no action was taken.
‘F*CK your OK!’ Hyun-Min Kim nearly cursed out loud.
A bright flash of light then appeared suddenly in the distance.
Subsequently, there was some loud, rather excited noise, as well as the rapid tapping of footsteps.
“Please make way, everyone. We’re reporters from entertainment news outlets!”
“We’re from Toutiao. Could you please give us your cooperation!”
“Can I interview you on what just happened here?”
The scene was chaotic with a bunch of people coming, some of whom ran as they carried their cameras. All of them were reporters from major newspapers and came flying after getting word of the news.
That day was a special one and everyone assumed there would not be anything out of the ordinary. It was therefore completely unexpected that such an earth-shattering incident happened. It was a headline among the headlines—an incident that one would not even dare to imagine!
Some reporters were slightly regretful. They would have waited there from the start if they had known it would happen. It would certainly have been the most trending news if the entire episode had been recorded.
In an instant, a dozen reporters rushed to Hyun-Min Kim’s side, while another dozen surrounded Ye Lingchen with their microphones placed before his lips. Meanwhile, a few other reporters were interviewing either the other stars or the audience members.
Numerous questions were fired in rapid succession from the reporters’ twittering lips.
“God Ye, why did you hit him? Please give a direct answer to my question!”
“Do you think it’s right to be treating our international friends like this?”
“Is there any enmity between yourself and Hyun-Min Kim? Why did you beat him up like that?”
“What’s your intention of doing that?”
“As a student and a teenager, do you think your approach is the correct one?”
“Violence doesn’t solve problems. May I ask what’s your opinion of this sentence?”
“God Ye, why aren’t you answering our questions. Are you afraid?”
The reporters’ questions were unending.
At that moment, Hyun-Min Kim’s diehard fans rushed toward the reporter.
“I know why. Ye Lingchen was jealous of how handsome Hyun-Min Kim was. That’s why he beat up Hyun-Min Kim! ”
“Ye Lingchen is jealous of Hyun-Min Kim’s talent! He’s angry because he’s embarrassed!”
“Ye Lingchen has a terrible attitude. A person like him isn’t worthy of being a star!”
“We must speak up for our Hyun-Min Oppa and demand justice!”
Hyun-Min Kim was shouting and wailing too. Playing the part of the victim, he made wild accusations that China practiced mob-like behavior.
The reporters’ eyes lit-up like cats picking up a fishy scent. They jotted everyone down quickly and put forth all kinds of strange questions to those fans.
Each of them had already created eye-catching headlines in their mind.
“Is God Ye a villain?”
“Darkness and violence lay hidden under God Ye’s cheery appearance.”
“Jealousy or hatred? A must-tell story about God Ye and Hyun-Min Kim.”
“The public has spoken: God Ye has attracted public outrage!”
Seeing the crazed appearance of those reporters and diehard fans, Ye Lingchen suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, sadness, and desolation.
A person who pretended to be asleep could never be woken up.
Why? Why would he do that?
Did none of them understand anything at all?
Ye Lingchen suddenly lost interest and released his pressure on Hyun-Min Kim.
Hyun-Min Kim was able to stand up again, but his legs were numb and he could not stand steadily. Those diehard fans flocked to him at once. They supported him up and began pampering him enthusiastically.
Some diehard fans began screaming with excitement. They blushed and exclaimed happily, “Ahhhhh, I touched Hyun-Min Kim! I’m so happy!”
How meaningless.
Ye Lingchen shook his head. A touch of sympathy for these reporters and stupid fans suddenly came over him. What did those people live for? Did they still have any principles?
Others decried Ye Lingchen’s injustice. Celebrities such as Zhao Liangying and Chen Xiaoyan took the initiative to accept interviews to explain the reasons for Ye Lingchen’s actions.
Had they not done that, God knows how unscrupulously the media would write their reports. Twisting the facts and turning a blind eye to right and wrong was undoubtedly the norm.
However, explaining was one thing, but the actual news reports was another matter altogether. No one cared whether he was right or wrong as long as the reports were attention-grabbing.
Ye Lingchen looked at everything, listened to the diehard fans’ condemnation, and watched as people pointed fingers at him.
He suddenly said to the microphone in front of him, “You want an answer, don’t you? Alright then, I’ll give you ‘The Answer’!”
“Debasement is the password of the base,
Nobility the epitaph of the noble.
See how the gilded sky is covered
With the drifting twisted shadows of the dead.
The Ice Age is over now,
Why is there ice everywhere?
The Cape of Good Hope has been discovered,
Why do a thousand sails contest the Dead Sea?
I came into this world
Bringing only paper, rope, a shadow,
To proclaim before the judgment
The voice that has been judged:
Let me tell you, world,
I—do—not—believe!
If a thousand challengers lie beneath your feet,
Count me as number thousand and one.
I don’t believe the sky is blue;
I don’t believe in thunder’s echoes;
I don’t believe that dreams are false;
I don’t believe that death has no revenge.
If the sea is destined to breach the dikes
Let all the brackish water pour into my heart;
If the land is destined to rise
Let humanity choose a peak for existence again.
A new conjunction and glimmering stars
Adorn the unobstructed sky now;
They are the pictographs from five thousand years.
They are the watchful eyes of future generations.”
