Chapter 42 A Sweet Love
Sun Fugui was the first to understand what he meant and said subconsciously, "You mean, that bastard has already started to make his move."
Cao Feng asked him in return: "Mr. Sun, what do you think?"
Tang Xiong said to Cao Feng, "I'm going to go outside and take a look. You guys stay inside and don't come out."
"good."
Cao Feng had reviewed the B&B's floor plans and fire escapes before arriving, and immediately announced to everyone, "No matter what, we must return home now. You are all key personnel with knowledge of this matter, and you are all in some danger. Go pack your things first. Don't bring unnecessary luggage, just take your important belongings with you to avoid any emergencies."
Cao Yue interrupted, "Uncle, that Yun Rong should be the key witness, right? Are those police officers I saw in the live broadcast from Country T?"
Sun Fugui explained, "Those aren't police officers, just security personnel. We've already sent someone to escort Yunrong back to China, and she's probably already at the police station back home. Those two brothers are unlikely to reach out to the Yangcheng District Police Station in the imperial capital, so we don't have to worry about Yunrong."
Cao Feng urged them: "Go pack your things first."
Outside the courtyard of the B&B.
Tang Xiong looked around. At this time, the staff had all returned to their rooms. The director and core members of the program team were all holding a meeting in the side room on the right side of the courtyard.
He saw a man moving the live broadcast monitoring equipment behind the cover of green plants.
The man was on the phone: "Brother Zhang, the live broadcast equipment inside is disconnected. They must have noticed something."
The person on the other end nodded and said, "If they make any movement, tell me at any time."
The man nodded: "Okay."
After the call was hung up, he turned around and saw Tang Xiong behind him. Before he could shout, the other party immediately covered his mouth with his hand.
The man could no longer make any sound and stared at the person in front of him with wide eyes.
Tang Xiong took his phone, then grabbed his neck, pinned him against a tree, and asked, "Tell me, why are you monitoring us? Did you accept money from Zhang Xun and Zhang Chong?"
The man didn't intend to say anything and wanted to struggle and escape, but Tang Xiong held him down.
Under Tang Xiong's control, the man could not move at all.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Tang Xiong tightened his grip on his thumb little by little, and the man gradually felt suffocated. The air he could breathe became thinner and thinner, and his face began to turn purple.
Tang Xiong's eyes were fierce, as if he was ready to kill him at any time.
Although he didn't know who the real man was, he could feel that this man had bad intentions and his eyes seemed to be murderous.
When the man felt like he was about to suffocate, he begged for mercy: "Don't kill me, I'll tell you everything, I'll tell you everything."
Tang Xiong finally loosened his grip slightly. After taking a deep breath, he said, "When the Yunrong incident was exposed, Mr. Zhang's people contacted me and asked me to monitor you at all times. When your live broadcast was interrupted, I used the equipment to capture the guests' conversation. I accidentally heard the guests mention the brothers Zhang Chong and Zhang Xun. I thought this matter was serious, so I reported it to them. I just...just finished the call."
Tang Xiong tied him up and threw him aside. He took out the clip he had just recorded, recorded it with his mobile phone, and then drove a commercial vehicle of the program crew.
When he drove the business car to the door, everyone packed up their things and came out of the B&B.
After the guests and bodyguards got in the car and drove off, Xue Qi asked Cao Feng, "What's the situation now?"
Except for Xue Qi, Cao Feng and Cao Yue, everyone else has bodyguards.
Especially Sun Fugui, who was accompanied by three bodyguards beside him. The business car had twelve seats and was already overloaded.
Xue Qi was sitting in the back row, and Sun Fugui deliberately moved behind Xue Qi. He leaned on the back of the chair and said, "77, don't be afraid. I will protect you. I have three bodyguards, two of them are for you!"
Sun Shaoqi looked aggrieved: "Dad, what about me? I heard that people in T country can carry guns. I often
I saw a real-life gunfight on s, it was so fucking thrilling. What if a gunfight breaks out and no one protects me?
Sun Fugui gritted his teeth and said, "The remaining one will protect you!"
Sun Shaoqi: "...Is this what it means to forget oneself for the sake of beauty?"
Sun Fugui: "That's called self-sacrifice, you little brat, do you even know how to use idioms? With your level of education, you actually managed to get into the top 30? I almost doubt you bought your grades."
Sun Shaoqi: "..."
He lowered his head and stopped talking. He took out his cell phone and fiddled with it, then sent the video Tang Xiong had just recorded to his Douyin account.
This video records Chen Weiwei accusing the brothers Zhang Chong and Zhang Xun of doing disgusting things.
The video is a bit large, and the internet speed on the road is not very good, so it is transmitted a bit slowly.
Cao Feng sat beside Xue Qi and whispered to comfort her: "It's okay, don't be afraid, I can protect you."
Xue Qi smiled and said to Sun Fugui, "Mr. Sun, I think you should protect yourself first. I can protect myself. Have you forgotten that last time I carried you for 800 meters?"
Sun Shaoqi's eyes widened: "Fuck? 800 meters?"
Cao Yue was shocked: "Sister 7, how did you do it?"
Chen Weiwei was dumbfounded. "He must have been at least 150 meters tall, right? You carried him for 800 meters?"
Tian Xincuicui: "My sister 77 is amazing, how did you do it?"
Cao Feng also looked at her curiously: "I didn't realize you had such arm strength."
Xue Qi hooked his arm, revealing his firm muscles. He explained simply, "It's actually not as complicated as you think. Just think of it as carrying half a pig."
Everyone: “…”
Sun Fugui clutched his chest, feeling heartbroken: "...77, so in your heart, I'm actually a pig?"
Chen Weiwei: "Hey, aren't you a pig? What? Our 77 saved you, and you're not willing to be carried around like a pig by her?"
Xue Qi interrupted everyone's jokes and said, "I think my live broadcast cannot be stopped for now. After returning to China, the program must continue recording. If Douyin agrees to our live broadcast, we will find a place to continue "Our Delicious Restaurant." On the one hand, we can deal with the Zhang Xun and Zhang Chong brothers. On the other hand, live broadcasting can ensure everyone's safety. At the same time, it can spread the heat and put pressure on the government to deal with the two brothers as soon as possible.
If Douyin Short Video doesn't want to accept our live streaming project, we can do short video live streaming on our own platform. We can record it with our phone 24 hours a day and even put it by our bed when we sleep. The worst-case scenario is that we get banned by Douyin."
Sun Fugui said: "I will ask the company to develop a live broadcast app as soon as possible. It should be ready within a month. If it is our own platform, we don't have to worry about these problems."
Chu Cheng: "One month? That's too long. A month is enough time for a lot of things to happen."
Chen Weiwei: "Yeah, one month is too long."
Tang Xiong pulled the car over and let the bodyguards look at it. He glanced at his phone at the right moment and then said, "I have good news for you all. The leaders of our Fengkai Group have agreed to take over "Our Delicious Restaurant". Taking into account the inside story, they are not only willing to promote it on the platform's homepage, but also willing to help report this matter to the higher authorities so that they can pay more attention to it and let China Ya
Send people down to crack down on gangsters and evil, and conduct a thorough investigation into the affairs of Zhang Xun and Zhang Chong."
Everyone was surprised. They didn’t expect Douyin to give them the results so quickly!
Sun Fugui: "Next, our production team will have to compete with Zhang Xun and the others for financial resources and public opinion. Chu Cheng, what are your plans?"
Chu Cheng had already made up his mind along the way: "Even if it means losing everything, I will seek justice for Xingxing."
Sun Fugui asked in return: "Is there a problem with putting up 500 million yuan? I am willing to use my program to support you and will have all the marketing accounts of my company participate in this matter. Just think of it as a charity, even if I can't continue filming later, I will accept it."
He looked at Chen Weiwei, Tian Xincuicui, and Xue Qi, and said, "However, this time our production team is dealing with an evil force, so it will be quite dangerous. You can choose to cancel the contract, and I will bear all the losses."
Chen Weiwei immediately said, "I'm not quitting the show. I'm going to fight the Zhang Chong brothers to the bitter end. Not for Chu Xing, but for myself and for the thousands of girls who have been victimized."
Tian Xincuicui also said: "Me too. Although I love money and didn't go to high school or college, my father taught me since I was a child that I should be a responsible person who contributes to society. Even if it's for my best friend who came from the countryside with me, I'm not afraid."
Sun Fugui looked at Xue Qi: "77, what about you? You're just a chef, a small internet celebrity, there's no need to get involved in such a dangerous thing."
Xue Qi exclaimed, "Sun Xingxing, have you forgotten? This incident started because of me, so there's no way I'm quitting the show. Besides, this is a food show. If I leave, who will be the chef? Wouldn't it be just as dangerous to invite someone else to be the chef? This won't work. I've done this wrong, so let me end it."
Sun Fugui was speechless: "Why did he suddenly become so passionate?"
Chen Weiwei looked at Chu Cheng and said, "King Chu, if you don't have enough funds, I can provide sponsorship."
Chu Cheng quickly said, "Oh, no need. The remuneration given to me by the program team can be recouped by holding another concert. I don't need this little money."
Chen Weiwei nodded: "Oh, that's right, your appearance fee is not low, it's definitely worth 500 million."
Sun Fugui: "...Are all you celebrities in the entertainment industry so rich? Can you easily come up with 500 million in liquid funds?"
Chen Weiwei: "You can't compare celebrities to each other. For example, my daily salary is about 2 million, while the king of pop makes at least 4 or 5 million."
Tang Xiong: "Daily salary? Are all your celebrities' daily salaries that high?"
Tian Xincuicui: "They are first-tier stars, they have nothing to do with us little stars. We feel very satisfied and happy if we can make a few million a year!"
Tang Xiong was silent for a while, then asked, "Do you think I can enter the entertainment industry like this?"
Chen Weiwei shook her head: "That won't work. It doesn't have any distinctive features and looks too old."
She turned to look at Cao Feng: "Mr. Cao is not bad, he is so handsome, it's a pity that he is not even in the entertainment industry. However, the entertainment industry is not short of good looks. It's not enough to be handsome, you also need to have ability and luck. If you can catch the eye of a rich woman, it's not impossible to become an overnight star."
Tang Xiong: "I don't want to work hard anymore, I want a rich woman to support me."
Cao Feng said seriously, "Yeah. I don't really want to work hard anymore."
Sun Fugui held her face in her hands and said, "Sister Weiwei, do you think it's appropriate for me to enter the entertainment industry? I don't really want to work hard anymore. I'm the richest man in Kangyang, but I can't come up with 500 million in liquid funds all at once. Am I embarrassing myself in the domineering CEO circle?"
Xue Qi sighed: "It turns out that the richest people in the world are not the domineering CEOs, but the top stars!"
Cao Feng explained with a smile: "It's just working capital. Mr. Sun's fixed assets and net worth are not comparable to those of top stars. Besides, stars eat young people's food, but Mr. Sun can turn the company into a century-old family business."
Xue Qi: "Oh."
Tang Xiong sent them a PPT and said, "Everyone, take a look at this location. After returning to China, we may start a new live broadcast here."
Chen Weiwei glanced at the new restaurant's address. "Isn't this the Little Drum Tower on the street next to Zhang Chong Department Store? Douyin wants us to do a restaurant livestream here? Isn't this a blatant provocation?"
Tang Xiong asked, "Why? You can rest assured about our security. Fengkai Group has a security team that is worthy of special forces. To show our determination to help eliminate organized crime, the leadership has specially assigned these security colleagues to protect you."
Chen Weiwei: "I'm not afraid. I just think Feng Kai was very good at finding a spot for us. This is at a street corner and is considered a tourist attraction. This small drum tower is a Republican-era building and a privately owned one. Feng Kai was able to secure this small drum tower for us to film our show. I really don't know how to express my gratitude."
Cao Yue explained, "Fengkai is somewhat related to the military industry. They are engaged in national business and care about the country and people's livelihood. Fengkai's founder respects women and naturally cannot accept such humiliating and trafficking of women happening in a first-tier city like Shanghai. Even if no other company in the world dares to regulate it, they will take charge of it, and they must manage it beautifully."
Chen Weiwei was a little puzzled: "This Feng Kai boss is very mysterious and hardly ever shows up in public. Why do you know him so well?"
Cao Yue immediately said, "Ah, that's because my future dream is to join Fengkai Group! My uncle is currently an employee of Fengkai Group, so it's not surprising that I learned some corporate culture from him."
Chen Weiwei: "Oh, oh. I did hear a piece of gossip. I heard that the boss of Feng Kai is a patriot. He was once kidnapped by a foreign anti-peace armed group for a state secret. Faced with life and death, he refused to surrender. I think everyone has seen the mainstream movie "Motherland", right? There is a short drama in it that tells the story of the boss of a scientific research company and his team. The boss was kidnapped for three years, and during these three years, he suffered humiliation. When he was rescued by our special forces, he was emaciated."
Tian Xin nodded crisply. "Yes, yes, I remember this movie! At the time, many people criticized the script for being exaggerated. It's been three years and the armed group still hasn't killed the hostages? It's unrealistic."
Sun Fugui glanced at Cao Feng and touched his nose. "Old Cao, this is adapted from the experience of your company's boss. You should know the real plot, right?"
Cao Feng hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Yeah. In reality, it's more complicated and cruel than in the movies."
Tang Xiong was one of the special forces soldiers who participated in the rescue of Cao Feng that year.
A group of people went there, but only he survived, as the other brothers all died abroad.
He found Cao Feng in a cellar full of feces. The man was skin and bones, with his limbs tied with iron chains, like a caged animal.
The walls of the cellar where he was imprisoned were covered with formulas without answers.
After Tang Xiong rescued Cao Feng from the armed anti-peace organization, he stayed with Cao Feng to protect him.
Cao Feng received excellent mental and physical rehabilitation treatment and passed rigorous mental tests.
But he developed anorexia, an incurable disease. During the three years he was kidnapped, he ate food stained with feces for three meals a day.
Many times, he couldn't hold on any longer and wanted to commit suicide, to die.
But when he thought of his family in his hometown and the fact that he had not yet brought his research results back to China, he stopped thinking about it again and again.
Living in a purgatory on earth, being alive is something more terrifying than death.
Xue Qi listened to their story and sighed, "Is it so terrifying? It's hard to imagine how much faith this man must have in his country and his family to have the courage to live."
Tian Xin nodded crisply: "That's right, I cried when I saw that clip. Since then, all the electrical appliances in my home are Fengkai products."
Xue Qi couldn't help but become curious: "For a person like this, family and country should be more important than anything else in their world. They shouldn't care about anyone else, right?"
Cao Feng glanced at Xue Qi and said nothing.
The man looked at her gently.
After being kidnapped, Cao Feng's determination to survive became dull.
So that my nephew will no longer lose his loved ones;
In order to support more scientific researchers, one day China will truly become a strong country in science and technology.
But now, he felt that he had one more belief to live on.
This belief is Xue Qi herself and the exquisite food she makes.
This belief is one of the few colors in his black and white world.
Xue Qi made him feel that life could be colorful and interesting.
Sun Shaoqi and Cao Yuechuxing were squeezed in the last row. The three teenagers were playing a single-player mobile game online.
Inside the business car, everyone was talking to each other and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Just as the business car was driving out of the city and only 30 kilometers away from the airport, the car suddenly had a flat tire.
Before the people in the car could react, gunshots rang out, hitting the car windows.
The bullet flew in and hit the back of the chair.
Tian Xincuicui and Chen Weiwei screamed in fear, and Cao Feng immediately said, "Get down!"
Cao Feng subconsciously pressed Xue Qi's head under the chair, grabbed her hand, and stuffed a gun into her hand.
Xue Qi: “???”
She had taken a kitchen knife and a brick, and this was the first time she had taken a gun.
It's just... hot!
Xue Qi lowered his voice and asked him, "How did you get this thing?"
Cao Feng explained: "Country T is a gun-carrying country, and the security is not very good. Tang Xiong and I are keeping a close eye on it."
Xue Qi returned the gun to him: "I don't know how to use it, so you keep it and don't waste bullets. Do you have a knife? I'm more comfortable with a knife."
The bodyguards of the other people were naturally not pushovers either, and they also took out the guns they had prepared in the morning.
Sun Shaoqi's second-year soul was burning: "Fuck, I was in a gunfight?
I've seen it before, but this is the first time I've encountered it myself. I'm going to do a live broadcast! "
As the boy spoke, he opened his phone and started live streaming on Douyin.
Cao Feng remembered something and immediately told Cao Yue: "Take out your phone and use foreign software to live broadcast."
Cao Yue was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately: "Oh, oh, okay!"
As soon as Sun Shaoqi started live streaming, millions of fans flocked to him.
Everyone was halfway through watching the show when it was suddenly taken down. Plus, with the show's popularity on Weibo, fans flocked to it when they saw Sun Shaoqi starting his livestream.
Sun Shaoqi lowered his voice: "Ahhh comrades, you probably don't know how dangerous we are now! We are being targeted! The bastard Zhang Xun, Zhang Chong, and Gao Gua
Collusion! Not only did they remove our program, they also planted spies in our production team! None of us could have imagined that a case of school violence would involve so many people!
The signal was good at the place where the business car was forced to stop, so the live broadcast was not stuck, and the video that Sun Shaoqi had been uploading was finally sent out.
The video is a bit long, it will take some time for everyone to finish watching it. The comment section asks:
"What the hell, Young Master Sun, what's wrong with you? Why did I hear gunshots?"
"Who is Zhang Chong? Why is there another Zhang Chong? Did something happen that I'm not aware of?"
"Holy crap! I'm watching the live stream on my iPad while watching the video on my phone. Holy crap! Is this fake? Why does it feel so unreal?"
"I don't care if the show is interrupted or taken down. I want to see Chu Cheng and Chu Xing! Make them come out and explain everything! What happened to those young girls who had miscarriages? Come out and explain!"
"1. We just want Chu Xing to explain clearly! This topic has been fermenting for hours. If Chu Xing truly has a clear conscience, why hasn't he spoken out? The longer you delay, the more I feel Chu Xing is not innocent..."
"Chu Xing, come out and speak! Chu Xing, come out and speak! Chu Xing, I know you are here, don't play dead!"
"Believe me, Xingxing! I, Xingxing, will never do such a thing!"
"The house collapsed so completely! I'm numb...Wake up, kid, tell me this isn't true, tell me."
"Fuck you! You should believe that Xingxing is innocent at a time like this, okay? It's obviously a frame-up. Those girls are so unlucky. They were obviously coerced and bribed."
"What's that noise outside? It really sounds like a gunfight. This show can't be so high-energy and melodramatic, right? From a melodramatic family ethics drama to a mafia-style business war?"
…
During the live broadcast, Sun Fugui's voice was heard: "Damn it, Tang Xiong, where are you going! Come back! It's too dangerous outside!"
Then came Tian Xin's crisp, low sobbing voice: "Sister Weiwei, I never thought that I would encounter the plot in the movie in this life. I'm so scared, are we going to die? Sister Weiwei, I don't want to die, I still want to be a top star. I still want to make money and buy my dad a hundred acres of land so he can graze cattle freely. Wuuuuu, Sister Weiwei, I don't want to die, I want to make enough money to save it, and live on the interest for the rest of my life... I don't want to die young!"
During the live broadcast, Chen Weiwei's voice suddenly appeared: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. If you can get out alive, I'll give you a hundred acres of land!"
The comments are still circulating:
"What's the new plot of the show?"
Sun Shaoqi was furious: "What the hell is this new plot! Gunfight, gunfight! Our commercial vehicle was attacked!"
As he spoke, there was a "bang" and a bullet passed over Sun Shaoqi's head and landed on the seat cushion behind him, sending the stuffing inside splattering everywhere.
Netizen: “…”
Cao Yue took the mobile phone from the coward Sun Shaoqi, clamped the phone between two books, held it high, and broadcast the scene outside the window to them live.
Outside the window, the police from Country T arrived in time and opened fire fiercely with the gangsters who attacked them.
Another shot flew in from outside and directly broke Sun Shaoqi's cell phone.
Netizen:
“…”
“…”
"Everyone, go watch CCTV News. The news is out and there really is a gunfight."
"Congratulations to all the guests of 'Our Delicious Restaurant' for being singled out for blessings by CCTV..."
"Are you feeling upstairs? Congratulations to your mom!"
The live broadcast was forced to be interrupted, but the video that Sun Shaoqi had just released became popular.
Chen Weiwei's remarks were clearly presented in the video, which was processed by Sun Shaoqi in terms of sound and image, and he stated that "this is the script effect of the program team, and any similarity is purely coincidental."
But the more he noted this, the more netizens felt it was true after reading it.
Netizen:
"Fuck! If that's true, Zhang Chong and Zhang Xun should die!"
"This? That's terrifying. Several big Chinese stars got into a gunfight on the T Country sea route. Isn't this more awesome than a script?"
"This is the most intense variety show I've ever seen, bar none. There's nothing they can't pull off, except for the plot you can't imagine."
“????”
"!! A case of school violence actually led to a major women trafficking case! And in the heart of Shanghai? This is crazy, right? This plot doesn't apply to this era, right? This must have happened before the reforms."
"A script, right? No one really believes this is true, right? Shanghai is an international metropolis, how could something like this happen? You have to be really stupid to think this isn't a script."
…
A gangster rushed onto the commercial vehicle, and Xue Qi drew his dagger to deal with him.
She wasn't good at life-and-death combat, but as long as she treated people like pork, she felt she wouldn't have much of a problem facing a bloody fight.
But just as she was about to stand up, Cao Feng grabbed her wrist.
The gangster who rushed into the car heard their movements, walked up to them in two or three steps, and pointed a gun at their heads.
Cao Feng was very fast and almost grabbed the bandit's wrist as the bandit came over.
With a strong twist, the opponent's wrist bone broke and the weapon in his hand fell to the ground.
Then he pointed the gun at the gangster's temples and said to Xue Qi before pulling the trigger: "Close your eyes."
Not only Xue Qi, but everyone else closed their eyes as well.
Cao Feng wrapped the bandit's head with his coat, shot him in the head, and pushed him down.
There was no trace of blood on the car, and Cao Feng wiped the blood off his hands.
Outside the business car, Tang Xiong and the police from Country T have taken control of the situation and started to do the finishing work.
Xue Qi squatted on the ground with her head in her hands and buried her face in her legs. She was very afraid of seeing people's heads explode, and worried that she would never be able to face pig brains again in the future.
Cao Feng squatted down, tapped Xue Qi's head lightly with his fingers, and whispered, "Boss Xue, it's okay."
