Chapter 93 Happy Slap in the Face
The entire network was watching this negotiation.
After Yuan Ting delivered her compensation speech, the livestreaming room was constantly buzzing with comments like:
"Support Yuan Ting! Meng Bao has a disability at such a young age, and his future life will definitely be very difficult. Although Yuan Ting and his wife are financially strong, they must fight for what they should fight for their child! The child is innocent."
"That's right. A three-and-a-half-year-old child came to participate in your program and became disabled. Shouldn't the production team be held responsible? Not only should they be held responsible, but they should also pay heavy compensation! Rectify the situation! Otherwise, who knows how many more children and guests will suffer as a result."
"If a production team can't even implement these safety measures, what kind of show is it? I feel so sorry for our actor Liu, he was so badly hurt by the production team. The production team kept saying they would guarantee the safety of the guests, but no one knew when the child ran away. This security is really terrible!"
“That sucks.”
"Am I the only one who thinks asking Emperor Liu's family to pay 300 million yuan in compensation is excessive?"
"I'm a fan of Actor Liu, and I don't think it's excessive. Think about it carefully. If Xiaoyu hadn't taken the kids out, would this have happened to them? This incident was caused by Xiaoyu. Although he's only three and a half years old and can't be held responsible, Actor Liu, as their guardian, must take responsibility!"
"Three hundred million is nothing to worry about. A little girl's life is ruined like this. Honestly, with Xiao Mengbao's ability and family background, if she wasn't disabled, she could easily make a billion, right?"
"That's right, so the compensation is not excessive at all."
While netizens were fighting for Xiao Mengbao's interests, some netizens were going astray in the forum.
They claimed to be fans of Xiao Mengbao and hoped that those who hurt Xiao Mengbao would pay the price they deserved.
Just as the program crew checked into the county hotel, the village chief and the villagers surrounded the hotel.
They did not cause any trouble, but just sat quietly at the door of the hotel;
This scene attracted many people to come here and turn on Douyin live broadcast.
Those so-called "reporters" went to interview the village chief with their mobile phones, and even tried to lead the topic and discredit Cao Feng and Xue Qi.
Douyin blogger, who is popular among the public, used live broadcast to interview the village chief:
"Hello, Village Chief. We are all paying attention to this matter. When Cao Feng and Xue Qi forcibly took your village wife away, everyone in the country knew about it. I am live streaming now, and everyone in the country can hear what you say. If you have anything to say, please tell everyone."
The village chief angrily said, "What else can I say? All I want to say is, leaders, please give our village justice! Lao Wu was arrested, and two wives from our village were taken away. Is this the law of the city? We are all good people in our village. We provided food, clothing and shelter for those two girls. How have we treated them unfairly? Lao Wu's wife killed several of her own children, but we spared her life and didn't burn her to death. How have we treated her unfairly? Facts have proven that being kind to others is cruel to ourselves!"
Douyin blogger said, "Yes, that crazy woman is so cruel. Not only did she kill her own child, she also ruined the life of someone else's child. And yet, there are people online who sympathize with her. What are they sympathizing with? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Sympathize with her for killing her own child? Sympathize with her for brutally smashing another girl's leg bones, ruining her life?"
Douyin's users are not like Weibo, where there is a mixed crowd of people of all ages and professions, and the average quality of the users is far lower than that of Weibo.
Led by this funny blogger, these netizens ignored the fact that Ajiao was abducted and started to criticize her for "hurting" Yuan Meng.
Their remarks were so extreme that some men, unable to empathize with them, went to the live broadcast room of Xue Qi and the program team to insult them:
"Thank you. I'm disgusted by Xue 77 and your husband again. You saved a cannibal woman. She's a butcher. The villagers didn't kill her, and her husband didn't beat her to death. That's lucky, haha."
"This crazy woman deserves to be locked up in a pigsty. I really don't understand what Xue 77 and her husband are thinking. Are they trying to gain attention by doing this? This couple is really unpleasant. Xue 77 is getting more and more greasy, haha."
"I used to like Xue 77, but this incident has really drastically dampened my impression of her."
"I think her husband is a good man. His wife killed their child, yet he still supported her for so many years. Some netizens are really brainless. If this kind of mentally ill person isn't locked up in a pigpen, is he allowed to stay at home or in the village? Who knows what kind of evil things he might do."
"I'm so angry! I have no problem with her killing her own child in revenge for being kidnapped, but what did Xiao Mengbao do wrong? Xiao Mengbao is the most pitiful. Xiao Mengbao originally had a bright future, but this crazy woman ruined her glorious life."
"I don't know how to put it, but I feel bad for little Mengbao too. I hope Mengbao's parents can be a little more assertive and make all those responsible feel the pain! At least give Mengbao enough money to last a lifetime."
“1.”
…
Because the villagers surrounded the hotel entrance, the police also began to intervene.
In order to maintain stability, the police station sent people to guard the entrance of the county hotel. At the same time, they also arranged special personnel to discuss compensation matters with the program staff, program guests, and village representatives.
Due to Yuan Ting's dominance, no one, including the program crew, dared to object to his request.
After all, it is a live broadcast now, and all the people named by Yuan Ting are responsible.
A little girl's life was ruined like this, and little Yuan Meng's future was indeed limitless. Who would dare to bargain with Yuan Ting about this matter?
Everyone expressed that they had no objection to Yuan Ting's request, only Xue Qi slowly raised his hand, yawned, and raised his own objection.
He also exported the video from the smart watch, edited it, copied it to a USB drive, and handed it over to the police.
She added, "Comrade police officer, I suggest that we project the footage from this video onto a projector so that everyone present and viewers nationwide can see it. It shows what happened before Yuan Meng's accident."
When netizens in the live broadcast saw this, some fans expressed their support for Xue Qi:
"Believe us, 77 will never let us down! I believe 77 won't change. Even if he makes money and becomes a top star, he will still be someone who never forgets his original aspirations and is always willing to help others. Don't forget how many people 77 has saved! The Shayanglou incident, the Grandma Liu incident... Is your memory really that bad? Is it really that serious?"
"That's right. I really don't know what's wrong with some people's brains. Please use your brains to think about who caused this woman to become like this? Don't use the child to kidnap a woman. She has mental problems and can't tell the difference at all! Oh, I clicked on it and found that they were all greasy men. It's okay now."
"Xue 77's fans are amazing at confusing right and wrong. Now that Xue 77 has produced a video, I want to see what she can come up with."
"Come on, even if there really is one, her video only records the moment Mengbao was brutally murdered. It only brings back sad memories for Mengbao's parents."
"That's right, Mengbao's parents are so miserable, really miserable."
…
Amidst the public outcry, the USB flash drive that Xue Qi handed over was projected onto the projector.
The video begins with the little Pixiu and three children gathering together and going to the crazy woman's house to explore.
Everything was normal at first, until Yuan Meng provoked the woman to go crazy. When the woman chased after her, Yuan Meng fell down. At this time, the owner of the watch, Xiao Pixiu, came back to support her.
But no one expected that when the little Pixiu kindly turned back to help Yuan Meng, she repaid his kindness with evil and pushed the little Pixiu over instead.
Fortunately, the little Pixiu caught the blade with its bare feet.
The audience's perspective is first-person, and they can see Yuan Meng grabbing Pipi and then pushing her forward. Then they see the woman's machete coming towards them, and a pair of chubby little feet tightly clamp the falling machete.
This smart watch is a high-tech product of Cao Feng Company. It is a military model. The pictures taken are so clear that it even uses an ultra-wide angle, so all pictures are captured clearly.
Seeing this scene, netizens couldn't hold back:
"What the hell? Mengbao actually pushed Pipi over? This is a bit too much!"
"Wait, is my focus wrong? My focus wasn't on Mengbao pushing Pipi over, but on Pipi catching the machete with his bare feet!"
"Yes, yes, that's what I was focusing on too! I thought I was seeing things!"
"If I hadn't been sure that they were a pair of chubby feet from a child, I would have even suspected that these feet weren't... not Pipi's!"
"The child's feet were able to hold the machete, which shows that although the crazy woman was crazy, she didn't want to kill anyone, so she didn't use much force. Think about it, everyone, how much strength does a child have? It's not that Pipi caught the machete with his feet, but that the woman showed mercy."
"Yes, I also want to say that it was obviously a crazy woman who showed mercy. However, Mengbao's push just now, although hateful, is understandable. The child was too scared and acted subconsciously to protect himself, which is understandable. The child is too young and has no sense of right and wrong, so I hope everyone will not scold Mengbao."
Soon, this netizen was slapped in the face.
When Yuan Meng saw the crazy woman stop, she started to provoke him again, which made the netizens in the live broadcast room very anxious. It was like they were watching a live broadcast:
"Why is this kid so talkative? It was because she provoked the crazy woman that she went crazy, right?"
"Oh my god, Yuan Meng is so annoying and disgusting. She is completely different from the angel baby in front of the camera."
"How annoying!"
Just after Yuan Meng verbally provoked the crazy woman for the second time, she went crazy again, dropped the machete and ran towards the door.
Pippi's smartwatch also captured the entire scene of the crazy woman dropping the machete and running outside.
The crazy woman ran to the door, and Yuan Meng pushed Shi Yuanbao, who had turned back, over there.
If the first time was unintentional, then the second time was obviously intentional.
When Yuanbao was pushed over, the crazy woman took advantage of the situation, picked up Yuanbao and ran up the mountain.
Yuan Meng, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened and walked towards Cao Pipi with a fierce look in his eyes. That expression was totally unlike that of a three and a half year old child. He looked like an evil spirit possessing a child in a horror movie.
Looking at Yuan Meng's expression through the screen, it was extremely evil and creepy.
She picked up the machete and slashed at Cao Pipi.
However, before the machete fell, the subsequent scene disappeared.
Netizens who were watching the live broadcast were all anxious:
"Fuck, why is it gone?"
"What happened? What happened to Pippi? Is Pippi hurt?"
"From the live broadcast later, Pipi wasn't injured, but I'm also curious about what happened afterwards. From the recorded video, it seems the crazy woman carried Shi Yuanbao up the mountain, leaving her no time to commit the crime. This Yuan Meng is so scary! How could a child be so vicious?"
"It's so vicious... emmm. Is this what human nature is? It's hard to imagine that this is something a three-and-a-half-year-old could do. It's horrible."
"I felt like I was watching a horror movie. Yuan Meng's expression and actions were truly terrifying. She pushed Pipi and then Yuanbao. If that crazy woman really killed someone, it would be the end. The lives of both children would be ruined. This video proves that Yuan Meng's legs were not the work of a crazy woman. So the question is, what happened to Yuan Meng's legs?"
"Is Yuan Meng awake? Why don't you let her tell you herself?"
…
In the conference room of the live broadcast studio, after the projected video finished playing, Yuan Ting slammed the table and stood up, pointing at Xue Qi and angrily scolding: "Xue Qi, don't go too far. Ever since the show, you have been targeting our family. What? What does this video of yours really mean now? Who knows if you edited it randomly and took it out of context?"
Xue Qi was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and ignored him. Instead, he looked at the police and said, "Comrade police, our videos can be verified to be authentic. I believe you can compare them to see if they have been edited."
Only half of this video is left, and the other half is left as a "suspense" for everyone, which perfectly whets everyone's appetite.
The police officer asked, "Ms. Xue, judging from the video, your little girl was with Yuan Meng afterwards. Did she see what happened to Yuan Meng's legs?"
Xue Qi said: "Oh, our Pipi was not with them afterwards. When the little girl Yuan Meng came with a machete, she was scared and ran away. She was worried that something might happen to Yuanbao, so she chased him up the mountain. Later, we, the villagers and the staff of the program team found her, Yuanbao, and Ajiao, the crazy woman you mentioned, on the mountain. This can be testified by the staff and villagers on the scene.
However, this video fully proves that Yuan Meng's disability has nothing to do with the crazy woman. This can be confirmed by comparing Shi Yuanbao's statement. The police can also retrieve Shi Yuanbao's smartwatch. Although he didn't turn on the recording function, it can automatically locate the location, so they should be able to retrieve the route he took that night from his watch.
With Xue Qi's video, and by investigating the timeline and comparing everyone's confessions, it is completely easy to prove that Yuan Meng's disabled legs have nothing to do with the crazy woman.
Actor Liu and his wife were also shocked after watching the video. They never expected that Yuan Meng, who was only three and a half years old, was actually like a little devil.
They also thought about the extortion and blackmail that Yuan Ting and his wife had inflicted on them in the past few days, and felt that they had been cheated, and instantly became angry.
When they learned that Yuan Meng was disabled, they offered compensation sincerely.
After all, in their impression, little Yuan Meng is cute, well-behaved, and sensible. If she were in the entertainment industry, as a child star, she would have the resources and intelligence to become a big star in the future.
But Emperor Liu and his wife never expected that Yuan Meng would be so "suicidal". If she had left with Xiaoyu, what happened later would not have happened.
But what about this little girl? After failing to harm someone twice, she still wants to kill someone with a machete!
It's so scary.
Now asking Emperor Liu and his wife to pay hundreds of millions to compensate this little devil, the couple felt that it was an evil act and they strongly disagreed in their hearts.
Mrs. Liu felt so guilty these days that she didn't dare look Yuan Ting and Zhang Yu in the eye.
At this moment, she looked at the Yuan Ting couple coldly and said, "I think your child is courting death. He insisted on jumping into danger and almost killed the other two children. Mr. Yuan Ting, if you feel that my family owes you, go to court and I will pay whatever the court awards."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu said anxiously, "Mrs. Liu, it's wrong for you to regret it now, isn't it? We agreed on 300 million yuan, how come now you have to pay whatever the court orders? Your husband is an award-winning actor, don't you have any shame?"
Emperor Liu said, "It's not that our family is shameless, but we don't want to be taken advantage of."
Yuan Meng's incident happened on the show crew, so the show crew should be held responsible to some extent.
However, after reading a text message from a leader, the production team leader looked up at Yuan Ting and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yuan Ting, your daughter's behavior is beyond our comprehension. We might even automatically interpret it as a bizarre extortion attempt to blackmail the production team. Of course, your daughter's accident on the set is a fact. The production team will not provide you with any additional compensation. All compensation will be reimbursed by insurance."
Yuan Ting couldn't sit still any longer and shouted angrily, "What do you mean by this? Do you suspect that we broke our daughter's legs for money? You saw it too, both of her legs were shattered! What does this mean? It's like being crushed by a huge rock. How painful must it have been when her legs were injured!"
Zhang Yu also immediately cried and complained: "Yes, our daughter is the victim. Why do you think she is the perpetrator now? She is still a child, only three and a half years old. What does she know? She just imitated some TV dramas and did some wrong things. Her words and actions were wrong. We will educate her properly later. However, it is a fact that she was injured. How could you treat my daughter like this? How much can the production team's insurance pay? It's not even enough for my daughter's medical expenses for a year."
The insurance purchased by the production team only reimbursed 3 million yuan, which was really not a lot of money for Yuan Ting and his wife.
After all, they only spent three million to bribe the director.
Xue Qi snorted coldly and said, "Oh~ I wonder if you guys got the point. Yuan Meng's legs were broken. What kind of force was that? A thousand pounds of force. And does that crazy woman you are talking about have that kind of strength? I don't care how Yuan Meng's legs were broken. This is something the police should investigate. I only care about A Jiao's innocence now. This girl was abducted and suffered inhumane torture. She is confused and doesn't know her own thinking. She has become a lunatic in the eyes of the public.
But even a madman has dignity, and shouldn't take the blame for things he shouldn't take."
Xue Qi took out his phone, flipped through the online rumors and comments, and threw the phone onto the middle of the conference table.
"Look for yourselves, how negative has Ajiao been portrayed online? Ajiao brought Yuanbao up the mountain while unconscious. But when they encountered a pack of wolves on the mountain, it was Ajiao who risked her life to block the wolves and saved him.
A Jiao is the daughter of a border guard. Her father sacrificed his life defending the motherland. As a child, she traveled alone by train to the border to retrieve his ashes, but on the way back, she was abducted by human traffickers and taken to a remote mountain village.
Over the past decade, she was humiliated and abused by her first husband, and became deaf in one ear.
Because she ran away, she was whipped naked in public and those people treated her like an animal.
No. They treated Ajiao worse than an animal. Even if she were a breeding pig, she wouldn't be sold over and over again, beaten and humiliated.
She was sold to
She was crazy. Those men who bought her, were they her husbands? No, they were human sacrifices, beasts, and rapists!
She was crazy, but even if she was crazy, she knew to stand up and risk her own life when a wolf attacked someone else's child!
She was crazy, but the blood of the martyrs' descendants still flowed in her bones. She saved other people's children and protected other people's children.
She is crazy. Who drove her crazy?
It was the people who trafficked her, and the people who didn't know the truth but kept defaming and spreading rumors about her on the Internet.
In the end, she was not called a crazy woman, her name was Ajiao.
Keyboard warriors, if you are Chinese, please stop spreading false information and don't let the martyrs feel disheartened."
Xue Qi spoke passionately, and finally glanced at the Yuan Ting couple: "Yuan Meng is your child. She is only three years old, and she has such a vicious heart. You are also responsible. As a parent, there are certain responsibilities that you should bear yourself."
Netizens in the live broadcast room were silent, and the police and other guests on the scene were silent.
Xue Qi let out a breath, stood up, and said, "Let's call it a day. The reason I came here today was simply to clear Ajiao's name. It's nothing special. I just can't stand seeing some people using my daughter as a bargaining chip to make money. Those ugly faces that want to sell my daughter make me sick."
Yuan Ting: "You——"
Zhang Yu was so angry that he felt so depressed that he even wanted to vomit several liters of blood.
However, before she could finish her angry words, Xue Qi slammed the door and left.
Xue Qi's voice was so deafening that it took the netizens in the live broadcast room a long time to recover from the shock.
The camera was facing the door through which Xue Qi left, as if her passionate statement was still echoing around.
The barrage gradually heated up:
"What did I say? We must always trust Xue 77. She will never let us down."
"1, trust 77. She won't let us down, she's so cool."
"The people stirring up trouble online are disgusting. After listening to Xue Qi's words, I felt ashamed. She's not a crazy woman, she's Ajiao. Protect Ajiao and don't let the martyrs lose heart."
"The martyrs defended their country, but human traffickers kidnapped their daughters. How disgusting!"
-
When Xue Qi returned to the hotel, only Tang Xiong, Fei Yu and the little Pixiu were left in the room.
She looked around, wondering, "Where's Cao Feng?"
Tang Xiong said: "Ajiao is missing. For the girl's safety, he took people out to look for her."
Xue Qi was puzzled: "How could someone get lost? When did it happen?"
Tang Xiong replied, "An hour ago, she was playing tumble rope with Pipi when she suddenly opened the door and ran away. Don't worry, Miss Xue, the police and our people are out looking for her."
Xue Qi was still worried, his heart hanging in his throat.
She carried the little Pixiu back into the house, patted her head and said, "Pipi, go find it."
The little Pixiu turned back into its original form, nodded, and jumped out of the window.
When it found Ajiao, the woman was sitting behind a pile of garbage, hugging her legs and looking at the little Pixiu in horror.
She turned back into a little chubby girl, stretched out her chubby paws, and patted her forehead: "Don't be afraid, little auntie, it's me."
The little girl took out a White Rabbit candy from her pocket and handed it to her: "Here, Auntie, eat some candy, so that life won't be too hard."
The woman thought of many things and looked at the Pixiu in front of her, thinking that she was still crazy.
She murmured, "How can it be sweet...it's too bitter."
To comfort her, the little Pixiu thought for a moment and said, "Auntie, I'm a dragon's child, a god in the eyes of you people. So, tell me a wish and I'll grant it, okay?"
"Wish?" A Jiao's eyes suddenly became empty, and her tone was flat, without any heartbreaking desire for revenge:
"I want that village to be burned down, and I want the guilty to receive the punishment they deserve. Human laws are not enough to punish them. I want them to be trapped in a dilemma, neither living nor dying."
The little Pixiu blinked and looked at her for a long time, then clenched a chubby little fist and handed it to her.
"Auntie, open your hands."
Ajiao spread out her hands, and the little Pixiu placed a sparkling dragon scale in her palm.
"Auntie, this is my dragon father's thousand-year-old scale, imbued with immense power. It can be saved in a critical moment, and I'm giving it to you now. Pray to it, and perhaps the dragon's power will grant your wish."
