Chapter 416: Being beaten by society

"Are you thinking that as long as there is a guardian, you don't have to bear legal responsibility and minors can break the law at will?" Shen Zhichu smiled as he looked at the little girls standing in a row.

There is nothing wrong with being a fan. It is good if you can learn the good qualities from your idols and generate your own motivation. But if you go against your conscience because of fan chasing, break the law knowingly, and don't repent after making mistakes, then you have a mental problem.

For Shen Zhichu, this kind of star-chasing method is simply a waste of time. It would be better to use this energy to read more books and improve his knowledge.

People cannot decide when they are born, but knowledge can give you more choices in the future.

"Humph, that's right. Most of the people who like me are people like us. We are minors and protected by the law. What can you do to us? Send us to the police station today and wait for us to come back to your hotel and wait for you at the door of the crew. Be careful with your face. Let's see if you dare to seduce people and harm me even if you are disfigured."

The police on the side were speechless. The three views of several young girls present were ruined. This was not star chasing, this was clearly brainwashing.

Holding a baton, he shouted with full force, "You're still acting lawlessly in the police station! Do you really think that if a minor breaks the law, you can go unpunished? We'll send you to juvenile detention, and when you turn 18, we'll send you to prison as usual. You haven't even learned the law thoroughly, and yet you dare to speak so brazenly! Is this how your parents raised you? Your so-called upbringing must have been eaten by pigs!"

Several little girls looked frightened and still a little dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to say anything more. They just stared at Shen Zhichu with malicious eyes.

Shen Zhichu pretended not to see it. Their methods were just minor fights, like tickling. They seemed powerful but actually had very little lethality.

Shen Zhichu leaned back in her chair with a cup of steaming water in front of her. She picked it up and took a sip.

"I think about it carefully. I can't handle your organization and discipline, so..."

The leading girl sneered: "Now you're scared, right?"

"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet." Shen Zhichu stretched out his hand to interrupt her. "I've heard a saying often used in your fan circle: fans' actions are the responsibility of their idols. I used to disagree with it, but now I think it fits you guys perfectly. If you don't want me to have an easy life, then your sister shouldn't have an easy life either."

"What do you want, bitch! Let me tell you, our sister is going to sue the Changmenghen crew. Now the crew can't shoot the movie, just wait for the cold. Sister is still the cash cow of the company. Do you think the company will offend and give up the popular little star for a vase like you who has nothing?"

"That reminds me." Shen Zhichu nodded, "Soon she won't be the company's cash cow anymore."

Several girls didn't understand what she meant, "Do you think you can take your sister's place?"

There was a sound of parking outside, and a few people thought that it was their parents coming to escort them away, but unexpectedly, a strange man came in. He was dressed in a suit and tie, wearing glasses and looked like an elite. He had a briefcase in his hand, stepped in, and his eyes instantly locked on Shen Zhichu's direction as he walked towards her.

"Mr. Shen."

Several little girls looked confused. When did Shen Zhichu become Mr. Shen? And who is this person?

"I'll leave this to you, Lawyer Wen."

"Don't worry."

After the parents of several girls arrived one after another, Lawyer Wen handled the matter impartially and personally delivered the court summons to their parents, filing charges of defamation, attempted murder, and threats and intimidation.

There are witnesses and evidence, and there is also a recording at the scene. He cannot escape these charges.

When those parents arrived, they received court summonses, and were dumbfounded after listening to the evidence listed by the lawyer one by one.

Their daughter was sent to the police station and they came to bail her out. They all knew what she had done wrong, just a minor incident, but they didn't expect the charge to be so serious!

The four words "attempted murder" send chills down my spine just by looking at them.

Several little girls looked at each other and saw panic on each other's faces. They squatted outside the hotel in an organized manner with utility knives in their hands, intending to teach Shen Zhichu a lesson, but they didn't expect to kill her. Where did the evidence of "attempted murder" come from?

Several parents came to Shen Zhichu and begged: "Miss Shen, they are just a group of children and cannot bear such a crime! Don't bother with them!"

Shen Zhichu smiled at them and said, "They are not only children but also orphans. It's really pitiful that they have no parents to educate them."

Some parents were angry but dared not speak out, while others lowered their heads in shame for not educating their children well.

"We must educate them well. Miss Shen, please forgive them. They just fell in love with a celebrity and were brainwashed. They are not bad people by nature."

Chen Zhichu nodded in agreement: "Yes, a group of little girls threatening people with box cutters are not bad people by nature. They are simply uneducated, immoral, uncivilized, uneducated, ignorant, and unethical. They are also immoral and stupid."

"Ms. Shen, you are also an artist. Is it reasonable for you to say these things? Aren't you afraid of causing public outrage online by suing a few little girls in court?" This is a case of using force when soft measures don't work.

Chen Zhichu stood up, brushed off the nonexistent dust on his shoulders, and said slowly, "You are the ones who did something wrong, not me. What am I afraid of? I dare to ask my lawyer to serve you a court summons, so I can naturally send your precious child to jail. If you don't teach him a lesson, the law will teach him a lesson. Teach him a lesson while you can. I'm afraid I won't be able to teach him a lesson myself in the future."

The parents' expressions were different. Some were pale with fear, some were red with anger, some were blue with swelling. Some had bad tempers and started to educate their children directly. The scene was in chaos, with several girls crying and begging for mercy, parents scolding them, and the sound of slaps being made on their bodies.

Shen Zhichu retreated to a safe distance and watched indifferently, and the police intervened to stop him.

"Get down on your knees and apologize, you bastard! Do you want to go to juvenile detention?"

“Hurry up and apologize to Miss Shen and tell her you were wrong.”

Several little girls choked up and said, "I'm sorry, Shen Zhichu, we were wrong."

These people have unstable minds and were not taught to be kind. Now they don’t dare to say anything wrong. If they are really let go, Shen Zhichu dares to guarantee that they will dare to come again.

When weeding, you must remove the roots to prevent them from growing again in the spring.

"It's too late." Artists in the entertainment industry may choose to make a big deal out of a small matter or forgive them for the sake of their image.

But the fact is that those artists who dare not speak more simply lack the capital behind them and are afraid of offending people, but she is not afraid because she herself is the capital.

The evidence she had was enough to make these "kids" suffer, as the stain of being a minor would be on their resume for the rest of their lives.

Shen Zhichu turned and walked towards the door, ignoring the pleas for mercy behind her. When she reached the door, she suddenly remembered something and said to the girls who wanted to stand up for Xia Yanyue, "Remember everything you did today. Xia Yanyue is going to be in trouble because of you."

What I learned from Li Jingshen is how to truly hurt others. The more you care about something, the more you want to destroy it.

Killing someone is just destroying their heart, and the guilt they feel will be the first torture they will experience in the next few days, and there will be more to come.

When Shen Zhichu smiled, her smile was radiant and gentle like water. She was generous and kind.

These little girls had no time to go online and were beaten by their parents, causing chaos in every home.

This incident was captured by paparazzi and posted online. The matter was handled impartially without smearing either party, allowing netizens to speak freely.

The entry about Xia Yanyue’s fans’ attempted murder became a hot topic, and the fan club organized an effort to expel the fans, but it was useless because those underage girls also had accounts on Weibo and were die-hard fans. They had organized and participated in many support activities. Such fans cannot be expelled with just a few words.

The biggest impact is on the perception of passers-by, because these fans' behaviors have made people have a bad impression of Xia Yanyue.

The fan clubs of artists who had been attacked by Xia Yanyue's fans have gathered together, and they have listed the crimes that Xia fans have committed. For a time, Xia fans became the rats on the street and everyone wanted to beat them up.

The "cat abuse incident" hadn't subsided yet, and another incident happened so soon. Xia Yanyue's fan base dropped rapidly.

The company changed its boss and there was no one to take over her job. She had to bear the consequences if anything went wrong. Recently, she had to hire the public relations staff herself. It was okay for three or five times, but if she kept hiring public relations staff, her money would not last long. Moreover, public relations would not be of much use even if it made the headlines.

The only thing fans can rely on right now is the company. As long as Xia Yanyue has the capital to protect her, she will not be forgotten, and her fans will not be able to defeat her.

However... This was bound to dash their hopes.

……….

Shen Zhichu returned to the hotel safely and continued to reply to Bai Qiujing's text messages.

After waiting for a while, Bai Qiujing called her.

"It took you so long to reply to my message. Did you go out to eat or did something happen?" Bai Qiujing's sharpness was sometimes even higher than Shen Zhichu's.

"Something happened." As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the breathing sound on the phone change.

Chen Zhichu continued, "On my way back to the hotel, I ran into Xia Yanyue's fans and was threatened by a few minors. Don't worry, I called the police and hired a lawyer. I'll let them feel the harshness of society in advance and teach their parents how to raise filial sons under the stick."

Bai Qiujing knew Shen Zhichu was fine from her tone, and he breathed a sigh of relief. The two chatted casually for a few minutes. When he learned that Shen Zhichu had not eaten yet, Bai Qiujing told her to take care of herself and then hung up the phone.

Shen Zhichu had a quick bite to eat in the hotel before washing up and going to bed to recuperate, as this was just the beginning.

……….

The next morning, Shen Zhichu woke up early and stretched in the hotel. After a set of yoga, she brushed herself off and tied the cat tag that Niannian once wore around her neck with a red string. The gold fish-shaped charm looked like an ordinary pendant. She wore it day and night, keeping it close to her, sometimes deceiving herself that Niannian was still by her side, not dead.

Shen Zhichu changed his clothes and threw the pendant inside his clothes, sticking it to his skin. Just like before, he arrived at the crew half an hour in advance to prepare, change clothes, put on makeup and read the script.

Seeing Shen Zhichu coming to the crew, the staff were somewhat surprised. After all the recent troubles, they didn't expect Shen Zhichu to return to the crew to continue filming.

Some people want to comfort her but don't know how to start. Belated comfort is out of date. It is like salt sprinkled on a wound that can make it bleed again.

Some people didn't know this truth, so they walked up to Shen Zhichu, said a few symbolic words of comfort, and then left.

All the crew members were concerned about Shen Zhichu, except for a few actors.

"How can we film now that the leading actress is gone? If Xia Yanyue keeps dragging the crew down all day, there's no way they can make any progress. It would be a waste of time to film, so it's better not to film at all."

"It's all Shen Zhichu's fault."

"Don't say that, she's the victim."

"It's just a cat that was harmed. How much does it have to do with her? Now the crew has stopped filming because of a cat. Do you know how much money they will lose? That money is enough to buy a lot of cats."

"You'd better not say anything. What if she hears it? She's not a simple person now. Last time, two investors fought over her."

"So what? I'm telling the truth, so I'm not afraid of her."

Shen Zhichu went to the bathroom and came back to get her bag when she saw this scene. She heard everything she should and shouldn't have heard.

Most people would pretend nothing happened to avoid embarrassment and wait until the situation was over before going in.

Shen Zhichu pushed the door open and scared the two actors in the room. When they saw it was her, they lowered their heads and left in a hurry.

Shen Zhichu sneered in his heart, with such courage, he didn't even have the courage to speak in front of her, and yet he dared to say that she was telling the truth.

Shen Zhichu picked up the bag and went directly to find Wang Xiangrong. Wang Xiang was usually in the filming area when he came, but he was nowhere to be seen today.
