Chapter 9: Stampede

"Quiet, everyone, calm down. There are elderly people and children in front." Seeing this, Lu Wanqi immediately shouted into the microphone.

The organizers of the event obviously did not anticipate such a situation and immediately sent people to maintain order.

A girl standing in the front row should be a fanatical fan of Lu Wanqi. Seeing that the situation was out of control and the staff and police were maintaining order in the back, she took the opportunity to jump onto the stage which was more than one meter high and ran towards Lu Wanqi.

"I like you so much, can you give me an autograph?"

The girl's unruly behavior made the already out-of-control situation even more chaotic, and the people behind her also rushed to the front of the stage.

There were constant cries and shouts.

Naturally, the girl did not rush to Lu Wanqi. Tang Shuo jumped onto the stage immediately and stood in front of Lu Wanqi.

Wu Yi also ran onto the stage, looked at the scene in front of him with a serious expression, and discussed with the organizer's staff how to solve the problem.

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control and that any further delay might even result in a stampede, Tang Shuo turned around and said to Lu Wanqi, "You should go down first. If you stay here, it will be even more difficult to control."

Lu Wanqi knew that what Tang Shuo said was right. Some of the people here were here for the lottery tickets, and some were here for her. If she stayed here, it would only make things more troublesome. So she nodded and walked directly to the stage.

Lu Wanqi was already at a loss at this time. The only thing she was sure of was that if a safety accident happened here today, she would be unable to sleep or eat. After all, there were more or less reasons for this.

At this time, a young woman in her thirties holding a child in the crowd had been squeezed to the ground and cried out, "Stop pushing, stop pushing, there are children here." In her arms, a child who was a little over one year old was crying loudly.

"Go back to the hotel first."

After Tang Shuo said something to Lu Wanqi, he immediately ran back to the stage and suddenly jumped up from the stage.

After jumping two or three meters into the air, Tang Shuo lightly stepped on the shoulder of a middle-aged man with his toes, and used the force to jump to the place where the young woman fell.

After Tang Shuo stood firm, he exerted his strength and pushed hard in the direction where the crowd was coming. The crowd instantly retreated and made room for them to stay.

After helping the young woman up from the ground, Tang Shuo found that she was not seriously injured and the child was also safe, so he rushed directly to the place where the lottery ticket fell.

Since he has come across this matter, he has to take care of it no matter what!

When Tang Shuo squeezed next to the lottery ticket, he punched a young man with long hair next to him in the face without any hesitation, and then directly kneed him.

Others may not be aware of this, but he saw it clearly just now. It was this young man with long hair who started to make a fuss.

If Tang Shuo had not appeared, his plan would have failed, because the "lucky" lottery ticket was now in his hands.

The long-haired man had just picked up the lottery ticket number 352 from the ground. Before he could feel happy, he felt as if his head was hit by a hammer, followed by a tearing pain in his stomach.

Tang Shuo snatched the lottery ticket and squeezed in the opposite direction towards the place where the crowd was coming from. On the way, he punched down several people who were making trouble, showing his strong physical fitness.

After knocking down another man who wanted to take advantage of the situation, Tang Shuo looked around, then took two steps to the left, and then jumped onto the roof of a Mazda parked on the side of the road.

Boom...

With a loud bang, the glass around the car shattered and a big hole was formed on the roof.

The chaotic scene just a second ago suddenly became quiet, and then there was a sharp sound of a car alarm.

Tang Shuo, standing on the roof of the car, had sharp eyebrows and looked like a god.

"Everyone, be quiet. I have the lottery ticket." Tang Shuo stood up straight and shouted loudly as the car alarm sounded, "There are injured elderly people and children inside. Please make way so they can get medical treatment quickly."

His words seemed to have an irresistible magic, or perhaps it was his behavior just now that made people feel afraid, so everyone stepped back and made way for him.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Tang Shuo jumped down from the roof of the car.

At this time, a tall and thin policeman came over with Zhang Bo. The tall and thin policeman was the first to speak to Tang Shuo and said, "Thank you. If it weren't for you, this matter would be more serious."

He had known for a long time that an event was going to be held here. At first he thought nothing would happen, but he didn't expect that the number of people would far exceed their expectations.

After the scene became chaotic, he had been trying hard to maintain order, but with little success. If Tang Shuo had not appeared, he, the deputy director, would definitely not be able to escape responsibility this time.

Tang Shuo pointed at the car next to him and asked, "What should we do with this car?"

"We will handle this matter, you don't have to worry." Zhang Bo interjected.

Tang Shuo nodded and said to the two of them, "You guys take care of the rest. I'll go to the hotel first."

If he had a choice, Tang Shuo definitely didn't want to be in the spotlight.

His identity is too sensitive, and this kind of thing is definitely not a good thing for him. If his movements are discovered by his former enemies, it will be a big joke.

But this time the situation was too dangerous. If he didn't take action, the mother and child in the crowd would hardly survive.

Wu Yi on the stage adjusted his glasses and fell into deep thought as he watched Tang Shuo leave.

She had been standing on the stage the entire time, and had a full view of all of Tang Shuo's moves, from the moment he jumped to the end of the matter.

She suddenly felt that she might have misunderstood this guy. How could someone who could do such a thing be a lecher?

When Tang Shuo returned to the hotel room arranged by the organizer, Lu Wanqi came up to him and asked hurriedly, "What's the situation now?"

"It's nothing serious," Tang Shuo replied. "The situation is under control."

Then he recounted what had happened in a light-hearted manner.

After hearing this, Lu Wanqi patted his chest and said, "That's good."

After resting for half a day, there was a knock on the hotel room door. Wu Yi walked in with Zhang Bo and the tall and thin policeman that Tang Shuo had just met. Behind them was the mother and son who were rescued by Tang Shuo first.

When the young woman saw Tang Shuo, she immediately stepped forward and said solemnly, "Thank you. If it weren't for you today, my son and I would definitely have been hurt."

Tang Shuo stood up and said with a smile, "You're welcome. Anyone would have taken action at that time."

Tang Shuo's unintentional words made the tall and thin policeman blush. Anyone would dare to do that?

If I tried to squeeze through alone in the crowd of nearly a thousand people, I would probably be squeezed into a meat patty.

"Anyway, thank you so much," the young woman continued.

The tall and thin police officer stepped forward and said, "She insisted that I bring her here to thank you in person. This time, it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, this incident would have been much more serious."

"How many people were injured?" Tang Shuo asked.

"A total of 43 people were injured, two of them seriously, but fortunately neither is in danger of life," said a tall and thin police officer.

Tang Shuo nodded and said, "I'm glad nothing serious happened."

After a brief greeting, the tall and thin policeman and the young woman left.

"Although we had made preparations and even filed a report with the police station, we never expected something like this to happen," Zhang Bo said. "I'll treat you all to a meal tonight to calm your nerves."

"No thanks." Lu Wanqi regained her composure after realizing no one was hurt, but she wasn't in the mood to eat right now, so she flatly refused. "Now that it's over, we should leave. I hope you can handle the aftermath of this matter properly."

"I think we should sit down and come to a consensus. Otherwise, it might damage Ms. Lu's reputation, which would be detrimental to both of us," Zhang Bo insisted. "It's almost dinner time, so we can have a quick meal together."

Wu Yi whispered a few words to Lu Wanqi.

After a while, Lu Wanqi nodded and agreed, "Okay, but just keep it simple."

Reputation is naturally crucial to a star.

Although this incident is not serious, it is still very detrimental to Lu Wanqi's reputation if it is publicized by some people with ulterior motives.

Since the other party offered to solve the problem so sincerely, she couldn't make any more excuses.

It is not uncommon for female celebrities to attend dinner parties. Some of them even have a fixed price. As long as you have money, they can almost come at any time.

However, Lu Wanqi has never participated in such an activity.

It can also be said that she is lucky. She has a father who is the president of an entertainment company. She has never lacked resources in all aspects and does not have to act according to other people's wishes. Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for her to develop smoothly in the entertainment industry with her temper and personality.

"Okay, we'll definitely do as you say." Zhang Bo said hurriedly when he saw Lu Wanqi agreed. "Miss Lu, you should get some rest first. I'll arrange a car to pick you up later."

After saying this, he walked out of the room without looking back, as if he was afraid that Lu Wanqi would go back on her word.

At this moment, he was actually somewhat grateful for the accident that happened in the afternoon. The accident only caused the company to suffer a little loss, but he turned it into a blessing in disguise and invited Lu Wanqi over.

After walking out of the hotel, Zhang Bo immediately dialed the phone in his hand.

"Young Master Wang, Lu Wanqi agreed." Zhang Bo said respectfully into the phone.

"Oh?" The person on the other end of the phone was obviously surprised and asked, "Have you already booked it?"

"The specific location has not been decided yet, but she has agreed to attend," Zhang Bo replied.

"I didn't expect you to be able to pull this off. Not bad," the man on the other end of the phone praised. "This woman has some background, but no one has ever been able to get her out before."

"We naturally cannot be careless about what Young Master Wang ordered."

The young man was obviously very pleased with Zhang Bo's flattery. He smiled and said, "After today's business is over, I will take you to Jinding and introduce you to some friends."

"Thank you, young master." Zhang Bo immediately expressed his gratitude.

He had just been sent to Yanjing by the company's headquarters to open up the market. You know, this is a lucrative position, and many people in the company are eyeing him.

Although the prospects of the Yanjing market are good, if he fails to achieve any results in a short period of time, it is very likely that he will lose his position.

The most important thing now is to quickly establish your own network of contacts in Yanjing. With connections, all problems will be solved easily.

This Mr. Wang is the guy he finally managed to get close to. It is said that he has a strong background and is very successful in Yanjing.

Hearing that the other party was very interested in Lu Wanqi, he took the initiative to agree to arrange dinner for the two of them.

As for how things will develop subsequently, that is beyond his control.
