Chapter 605: I was so angry

Everyone present was infuriated by the man's arrogant demeanor, especially the male and female actors who had narrowly escaped disfigurement and were still shaken by the experience. They all wanted nothing more than to rush up and stomp on him.

Chen Debang and his accomplices completely ignored the man's shouts and simply held him captive while they waited for the police to arrive.

Fortunately, the nearest police station was less than 500 meters away, and as soon as they received the report, someone rushed over.

When they discovered that the attacker was a minor, the group of people who came were taken aback, but no matter what, they still had to take the person back for questioning.

The man noticed the changes in everyone's expressions, and his smugness grew even more pronounced, making the adults present itchy to punch him.

Ye Wanxi's eyes narrowed slightly. She pretended to have just remembered something and whispered, "I forgot. I was startled by the attack and accidentally started a live stream on my phone."

Everyone, including the man, was taken aback upon hearing this. After realizing the meaning behind Ye Wanxi's words, a hint of panic finally appeared on the man's still-childish face.

The rest of the crew, on the other hand, had their eyes shining, eager to rush back to the dressing room, log into their alternate accounts to find out what was going on, and maybe even join the righteous army in a passionate exchange.

As everyone expected, the internet is now in an uproar.

It's no exaggeration to say that Ye Wanxi is the embodiment of popularity right now; her live streaming account is just a new account that was registered less than two months ago.

However, during her previous live stream after returning from the epidemic area, the number of valid viewers exceeded eight figures, a level of popularity that is far beyond that of ordinary internet celebrity streamers.

As soon as Ye Wanxi started her live stream, fans who had set her as a special follower immediately rushed into the live stream room to watch.

And when I looked at it, it was astonishing.

[What's going on? Where is Xiaoyezi? Why are there so many people here? It's so chaotic!]

The camera was a bit far away, but there seemed to be something written on the red cloth in the upper right corner about an opening ceremony. It must be the start of filming for some movie or TV series?

[Ah, I remember now, today is the opening ceremony for Xiao Yezi's first cameo role in a movie. It's supposedly the sci-fi movie where the top screenwriter stole the ghostwriter's original script and even won an award with it.]

[I just remembered, the production team of this movie has had pretty bad luck. They were unaware of the mess behind the script at first, spent a fortune on it, and then all sorts of unfortunate things happened as soon as filming started, like they were cursed. Then came the ghostwriting scandal involving the top screenwriter, forcing the production to stop because of copyright issues. This time, they finally managed to get permission from the original author's family to continue filming, and I guess Xiao Yezi was just there to keep things under control.]

At first, the audience was confused and could only judge where Ye Wanxi was based on the scene setup.

But as whispers rippled through the crowd and the man continued his unrepentant shouting, everyone finally realized just how terrible the incident had been.

【What?! Did I hear that right? Sulfuric acid? Who threw sulfuric acid at whom?】

[A sasaeng fan threw sulfuric acid on Xiaoyezi at the filming location? Are they crazy? How can someone be so terrifying?]

[How is Xiao Yezi? Is she alright? Those stalker children deserve a terrible death. If they're sick, they should just end it all. What kind of hero seeks revenge on celebrities?]

They were never heroes, just a bunch of scumbags who want to hide their true nature. It's common knowledge that sasaeng fans are not true fans! I repeat, sasaeng fans are not true fans!

When people first heard that their idol had been attacked, their first reaction was that it was because they had encountered those extreme and terrifying sasaeng fans.

But as they listened further, they discovered...

[Xiao Yezi's voice? Xiang Xiaoxiao? Who is Xiang Xiaoxiao?]

Ah, Xiang Xiaoxiao? Is this the Xiang Xiaoxiao I'm thinking of?

[I think I know who it is? A top star from a few years ago, but she hasn't been very popular lately and has faded into obscurity.]

[What grudge could a faded, large-flowered plant have against a small-leaved one? Could there be a mistake?]

Are the fans deaf? It's been said they stole resources from others and bullied them. And they were bullying a senior artist, only to be taught a lesson by the senior's fans. I've long been fed up with this person who has no work to speak of, yet still steals good resources from others, pretending to be a harmless, innocent hypocrite. Why didn't this brave soul throw her in the hospital and do justice to her?

【？？？】

【？？？】

[The person upstairs who says "I have thirty personalities" seems to have some serious illness. They're rushing to label and confess before the facts are even clear, empathizing with murderers? They might be a hidden criminal themselves!]

[Exactly! Even setting aside the fact that the truth is still undetermined, and assuming it really is a dispute over resources, does that justify throwing acid at someone? It's terrifying. It's because of idiots like you that kids these days are so extreme, mistaking murder and arson for acts of chivalry. It's disgusting.]

Many people like Ye Wanxi, but there are also quite a few who are keen to criticize her to generate buzz. In less than two minutes, the fans and haters in the live stream were already arguing and cursing each other over various theories.

But this didn't stop some fans and onlookers from being disgusted when they saw the man cursing Ye Wanxi with a ferocious expression and smugly saying that he was still a minor and that nothing would happen to him even if he was caught. They were so disgusted that they exploded on the spot.

[What the hell? Is this person thinking they're young and won't be held legally responsible, so they're deliberately trying to harm others?]

[Is there anyone with a legal background who can explain this? Is it really true, as he says, that just because he's young, he can commit murder, arson, or acid attacks without any consequences? Goodness, no wonder so many people don't want to grow up; it's a get-out-of-jail-free card!]

[I haven't studied law, but what he said is probably true. There was a murder in the neighboring community before; the perpetrator was also a minor. He was taken to another place for a few years of re-education and then released without any consequences. This made residents of nearby communities extremely nervous, afraid he would kill again, and even more afraid that children from other communities would follow his example—it's impossible to guard against.]

Similar incidents have occurred many times before, and they have generated considerable discussion.

Of course, there will still be those who take a different approach, focusing on Chen Debang's threat to make the incident public and gain notoriety for those few words. They will then launch into a sanctimonious accusation, criticizing an adult for daring to bully a child when no serious harm was caused.

Turning to criticize Ye Wanxi, she accused her as a celebrity of using her popularity to cyberbully ordinary people, especially a child. She asked if Ye Wanxi could afford to compensate for the psychological damage caused to the child.

This made Ye Wanxi's fans both angry and amused.

Good grief, you only almost got disfigured and died, but the child was traumatized! This is truly the funniest and most disgusting joke I've heard all year.
