Chapter 31 Violence Against Violence
Jiang Mingyue shoved the selfie stick into Don Juan's hand, her gaze fixed on the fake tourist who had run away.
You think you can just run away after hurting someone?
Ha, it's not that easy.
She casually picked up a mini soccer ball keychain left behind by another tourist, weighed it down to less than a kilogram, and immediately used her internal energy to throw it hard at the back of the man's right knee.
With a loud thud, the skinny young man was caught off guard by a sharp pain in his right leg. He staggered a few steps and fell to the ground!
Jiang Mingyue gestured to the tourists standing by the roadside to call the police, then lightly touched the ground with her toes and went upstream. How dare they conspire against her right under her nose? Then they shouldn't blame her for turning ruthless.
Her figure disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
"Teacher Jiang!"
"You guys hurry and go after Teacher Jiang!"
The production crew rushed over from all directions, some running towards Don Juan, others towards Meng Qinzhou, and several tall, strong PDs even went to hold down the skinny, dark-skinned young man who had fallen.
The people scattered and fled quickly. The square and alleys were crisscrossed, and tourists had to use mobile phone maps to avoid getting lost.
Jiang Mingyue's patience ran out. Her nose was like a high-definition probe; if she smelled a strong odor of blood, she would immediately grab the person.
Her movements are cunning and ruthless; even if the opponent has a dagger, she can easily cut it open and take it away.
If people have similar skin tones and are of the same race, they often can't tell these foreigners apart because they all look almost identical.
The eight people who were keeping watch were quickly caught by Jiang Mingyue. They were rendered mute and tied up like a spinning top by Jiang Mingyue using a cell phone anti-theft rope.
They never understood why this Chinese woman was so strange, able to find them in such a short time.
Most importantly, they all ran in different directions!
This is unbelievable! How can she be so powerful?!
Doesn't this just confirm that the woman Toby mentioned that night was her?
In a dead-end alley at the edge of the square, Jiang Mingyue didn't give them a chance to explain. She directly knocked out seven people with a chop to the neck, leaving only one person alive.
The leader looked older, around thirty years old, with slanted eyes and a fierce appearance.
"You're the woman Toby was talking about, aren't you?" The woman with slanted eyes spoke fairly fluent English.
Jiang Mingyue sneered, "I don't understand what you're saying. I just want to ask you why you're watching me today? Who's behind you?"
With her slanted eyes, she refused to answer, only glaring fiercely at Jiang Mingyue.
Jiang Mingyue wasn't raised to be threatened. She took out a silver needle from her pocket and said, "You're stubborn, aren't you? Fine, let's see if your mouth or your fingers are tougher."
Under the man's horrified gaze, Jiang Mingyue grabbed his right hand and pierced his five fingers with silver needles.
The ten fingers are connected to the heart; this feeling is not pleasant.
"I have over a hundred ways to torture someone; this is just the simplest one. Would you like to try them all?"
The pain in his eyes was unbearable, he was drenched in cold sweat, and he couldn't scream. His throat suddenly gave way.
If there really is a devil in this world, he has to admit that this woman is one.
Despite having the most innocent-looking face, she is ruthless in both skill and heart.
The most poisonous heart is that of a woman.
Jiang Mingyue struck with her palm, and the silver needles instantly shattered into powder, which was then dispersed by the wind.
"It's okay if you don't tell me, I have a way, but you probably won't get a good night's sleep when you get home tonight."
Knowing he had met his match, Diaoshao endured his fear and refused to yield.
Tsk, this guy's got a tough nut to crack.
Although this was a blind spot for surveillance, it was still broad daylight, and Jiang Mingyue didn't want to see any blood.
She spread her five fingers, grasped the man's forehead, and pressed down hard while silently reciting scriptures.
The moment they made contact, the man felt a splitting headache, as if a tremendous force was about to burst out of his skull!
A moment later, Jiang Mingyue released his hand, deliberately trying to scare him, "Klein, I don't like using soul-capturing techniques. This technique is rather sinful. You made an exception for me, so I'm giving you some good news: you're going to be a father. Unfortunately, the child in your wife's belly isn't yours, it's your boss's. Are you sure you still want to keep this a secret for your boss?"
By combining the palm lines of his slanted eyes with the children's palace below his eyes, Jiang Mingyue calculated his fortune regarding offspring.
As for how she knew his real name, it's even simpler: the first henchman she captured told her.
The Soul-Capturing Technique truly exists. This technique damages one's cultivation and merits. While it's possible that some people might know it, she's certain that very few do.
After all, those who use this technique will be punished by Heaven, such as being struck by lightning.
The woman in front of him suddenly called out his name and mentioned that his wife was pregnant. Klein's eyes widened in horror, and he didn't even care about his wife's infidelity.
Damn it, who is she? How does she know all this? Does she have magic?!
Jiang Mingyue clapped her hands, gazed at the distant mountains, and suddenly changed her mind.
"Give me a message to your boss: if you don't want me to wipe out Mafia, don't mess with me again."
Slanted eyes: "!"
…………
Let's go back an hour.
The public safety incident happened so suddenly that no one paid attention to the live broadcast. The medical team from the variety show even took the initiative to help treat the tourist whose arm was cut.
Don Juan's face turned ashen, and he had no choice but to apologize to the viewers in the live stream again, "Friends, the live stream is paused. Let's deal with this unexpected situation first."
Viewers in the live stream just witnessed a tourist being robbed of their bag and indiscriminately attacked in public, and are very worried about the safety of the guests.
This world is too crazy and outrageous.
The world is too chaotic; China is still the best.
We can't generalize; there are good and bad people everywhere.
Did you hear what Sister Jiang said? She said these people are deliberately targeting her.
I saw Sister Jiang give the Best Actor a hand!
[That post! Which idiot translated it and sent it overseas?!]
【I'm mjuhjab, tell that person to delete the post immediately! They've wronged our Sister Jiang for no reason!】
The online discussion grew louder and louder, and the hashtag "[Don Juan Group Attacked]" trended on social media in less than an hour.
Don Juan is an award-winning actor and has the best interpersonal relationships in the industry.
The attack on their group alarmed many people in the industry, who inquired about their current situation from acquaintances.
Some people even contacted Haiwei.
Haiwei's response was that she had already returned to China and was unaware of Don Juan's situation, but she would ask someone from Changyou to contact the director of the variety show and would get back to everyone with news.
Haiwei even posted on Weibo, indicating that she was paying attention to the matter.
The topic of the first love couple has been reignited, and even variety shows have invited Haiwei and Don Juan to appear together.
Jiang Mingyue's casual fans went to the post that exposed her and strongly demanded that it be deleted.
[Delete this post! Don't sacrifice the guests' safety for clicks!]
[Post deleted! Life is more important than anything else!]
[Posts deleted! Online investigations are no longer effective!]
Under strong pressure from netizens, the original poster sheepishly deleted the post.
However, the damage has already been done, and Don Juan's team is facing unknown challenges. Some people have even gone to the show's official Weibo account to demand that the production team suspend filming.
The official Weibo account for "The Adventure Journey" has refused to respond, and the staff behind it are unable to respond. The station's senior management had instructed them in advance not to pay attention to the online controversy.
Jiang Mingyue's haters secretly set off firecrackers to celebrate, while also throwing money at the program in an attempt to ruin it.
The production team received a call from senior management at the station, instructing them to ensure the safety of the guests. The live broadcast for the next two days was cancelled and would resume once they returned to Italy.
To accommodate Don Juan's group, Qi Sheng's group also paused their live stream.
The official Weibo account of the show is also incredibly stubborn; it refuses to respond and has even temporarily closed the comment section.
As the anxious netizens gradually calmed down, they could no longer find new live streams and had to go back to watch the old ones.
With nowhere else to vent their frustrations, the trolls resorted to attacking Shiliu TV's official Weibo account. Shiliu TV, however, didn't tolerate these people. They directly screenshotted the IDs that made personal attacks and sent lawyer's letters to pursue legal action.
The internet is not a lawless zone; please do not believe or spread rumors.
After the lawyer's letter was issued, the trolls quieted down considerably, but some audacious individuals still continued to cause trouble.
Pomegranate TV station is too lazy to pay attention to these people. Let them jump around; they'll be smashed to pieces sooner or later.
…………
When Jiang Mingyue returned, she questioned the leather merchants who had come from the vicinity after hearing the news. By the time they finished, it was already completely dark.
To avoid any unforeseen complications and potential trouble, the production team and guests discussed the matter and decided to have someone return Uncle Aura's van the next morning, freeing up a car that the production team had rented for them to use, but they would have to deduct 300 euros from the budget.
Don Juan and his group of five unanimously agreed that after deducting the 300 euros for travel expenses and adding the 600 euros they had spent in the past few days, plus the 1,500 euros in compensation for emotional distress that Jiang Mingyue had schemed to obtain, they would still have 2,100 euros left, enough to support them to reach Luo City.
Jiang Mingyue went to the assistant director and said, "Director Xu, have I caused you any trouble? If it will affect the broadcast of the program, I will voluntarily withdraw."
If she hadn't agreed to save people and changed her route to Palermo at the last minute, perhaps nothing would have gone wrong.
“Teacher Jiang’s act of saving people was a righteous one. Besides, there are more of us here. Those people only have suspicions and don’t have enough evidence.”
The assistant director gestured to Jiang Mingyue not to feel guilty, saying, "The show's popularity is a double-edged sword, good or bad. It's good to take a break from the live broadcast for a few days so you can focus on your trip and check in."
The station's higher-ups have instructed that Jiang Mingyue must be retained, and they will handle the online public opinion themselves.
Seeing this, Wei Lai and the others came over to comfort Jiang Mingyue, hoping that she could stay and continue recording the program and not give up halfway.
Jiang Mingyue ultimately stayed.
After dinner, the group checked out of Palermo and headed straight for Messina.
The entire journey is over 200 kilometers, and it is estimated to take two and a half hours by highway.
Don Juan drove as usual, with Jiang Mingyue in the passenger seat and Wei Lai and the other two resting in the back.
Although there were no live broadcast cameras, there was an extra production crew member on board to film some additional footage.
With the PD present, Wei Lai and the other two couldn't gossip, so they simply put on eye masks and went to sleep to recharge.
Jiang Mingyue glanced at Don Juan. She had been lost in thought, and only now did she notice that Don Juan was wearing a pair of rimless glasses.
"Brother Tang, are you nearsighted?"
I haven't seen him wear glasses during the few days we've spent together, not counting sunglasses.
Although there were few cars on the road, the mountain road was difficult to drive on.
Don Juan looked straight ahead and explained, "I have mild nearsightedness and astigmatism. I don't wear glasses much when I'm relaxing. I wear contact lenses when I'm filming so I can look good on camera. I wear glasses when I'm driving because my vision is poor at night."
After saying that, he added, "My sunglasses are specially made; they have a prescription."
The implication is that he wasn't wearing sunglasses while driving during the day to look cool.
Jiang Mingyue hummed in agreement. "If you want to restore your eyesight, I can help you."
The cameraman coughed at the opportune moment and couldn't help but interject, "Teacher Jiang, I'm nearsighted with over 700 degrees of myopia, is there any hope?"
Jiang Mingyue glanced at the rearview mirror, received the eager look from the PD who was filming her, and smiled helplessly.
"If it's no more than 500 degrees Celsius, there's still time."
The cold water was poured over his head, leaving the on-camera PD feeling frustrated.
Don Juan chuckled softly, "I can do it, I'm not even two hundred yet."
Around 10 a.m., they arrived in Mexico City without incident.
After discussing it with Jiang Mingyue, Don Juan decided to stay at a hotel near the train station.
There is a ferry company near the train station, and they will take the ferry directly to Réby, the capital of the Calabria region, tomorrow morning.
Today is the eighth day, and there are still four important cities to visit, so I need to hurry. Less popular cities can be skipped.
The program does not have a strict rule on how many landmarks need to be visited to complete the task; the guests can decide which city to visit entirely on their own.
To ensure the safety of the five people, and after consulting with Jiang Mingyue, Don Juan requested a suite and secured it for 200 euros during the off-season.
It's called a suite, but it's actually just a study, a bedroom, and a living room.
There is a double bed in the bedroom, a single bed in the study, and a long, narrow sofa that can sleep two people.
Jiang Mingyue requested the study, Tang Huang and Wei Lai slept on the sofa, and Ji Wenxuan and Meng Qinzhou slept in the bedroom.
After the five of them finished washing up, it was almost midnight. They were too tired to chat anymore, so they turned off the lights and went to bed.
Unexpectedly, less than ten minutes after they lay down, local pimps came to check their room, saying that someone had reported that the five of them were taking sugar pills and that they wanted to come in and search.
Wei Lai laughed in anger. "Which bastard made this false accusation?!"
