Chapter 296 You Are the Most Important
A dozen or so media outlets were gathered outside the police station. As soon as they saw the people coming out, they rushed forward, pushing and shoving each other.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Qi Guohua? What would you like to say about being accused of intentional assault by Tu Chaoxi?"
"Were you just released on bail? Who did you injure?"
Tu Chaoxi's announcement was exceptionally brief, consisting of only two lines.
It almost instantly topped the trending searches, replacing all related entries about Tu Yao during the day.
As a result, the reporters were not entirely clear about who the man had injured.
Is it Tu Xiaomao, who has reappeared after four years, or Tu Chaoxi herself?
But whoever it is, it's big news for them!
Qi Kai's parents were terrified when they saw this scene before they could even stand properly.
"I hit someone???"
Qi Guohua, his face bruised and swollen, said in a trembling voice, "Do I look like someone who has been beaten up?!"
He chased after a girl today, but when he failed, he got beaten up. Who's so rude as to sue him for assault?!
Where did these reporters come from?!
What are you all doing blocking this place?!
Qi Guohua suddenly realized: "How did you know my name was Qi Guohua? How did you know I was here?! You're deliberately investigating me? That's illegal!"
The reporters were quite puzzled by the couple's reaction.
What, they don't know what's going on?
The entertainment industry has been unusually calm lately, and it's rare for Tu Chaoxi to come out and contribute to their KPIs. The reporters were also exceptionally patient, and seeing that he genuinely didn't know, they simply helped explain.
"Tu Chaoxi, a top singer in the entertainment industry, has filed a lawsuit against you for intentional assault this afternoon."
“We received a tip from a member of the public and we are here to conduct this interview in accordance with the proper procedures.”
"Leaking citizens' information is indeed illegal, but your information is readily available everywhere now. We didn't leak it, so we haven't broken the law."
Each person said one sentence, and the couple's faces grew paler and paler as they listened.
……What's the meaning? !
Not only were they sued, but they were also stripped naked?
...
Across the street, a black minivan was parked blatantly under the shade of a tree.
Tu Chaoxi leaned back in her seat and watched coldly, while making a phone call.
"When it's almost time, send a lawyer over to talk to them."
"Tell them that the entry will not be removed until Qin Lang's case is dismissed."
The other side seemed to have said something.
Tu Chaoxi shifted her position and scoffed, "It's best if you agree; if you don't, just keep pressuring you."
"Let's see who can outlast whom."
"I'll reach out to a few media outlets, and once this matter is over, I'll make time to arrange interviews."
Inside the large car, Tu Chaoxi, unlike her usual irritable self, slowly and deliberately uttered a string of words.
Sitting at the very back, Xu Bai couldn't help but whisper to Cheng Sangsang, "Teacher Tu looks so awesome."
Cheng Sangsang quickly covered his mouth, "Quiet, it's not your turn to speak."
Xu Bai shut his mouth.
Cheng Sangsang shook off his hand, "Tu Xiaomao, why aren't you saying anything?"
Tu Yao sat opposite her, her gaze slowly shifting from the chaotic scene outside the window back to her.
"I……"
Before she could speak, Cheng Sangsang grabbed her arm. "Come on, how can we see clearly from inside the car? Let's get out and look!"
The three people squatted across the street, at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, just enough to see the couple being surrounded.
The reporters kept asking questions, and the couple turned red in the face and became so angry that they jumped up and down.
Tu Xiaomao rested his chin on his hand: "It's a bit noisy."
Xu Bai's sharp comment: "Impotent rage!"
Cheng Sangsang: "That's right!"
"Tu Xiaomao, are you happy?"
After a few seconds, Cheng Sangsang suddenly asked.
Tu Yao was taken aback.
Looking at the noisy crowd ahead, he pursed his lips, and the next second, he nodded slightly.
"……Happy."
She was happy; she hadn't felt loved and protected in a long time.
"That's great, as long as you're happy!"
Cheng Sangsang shrugged lightly: "Tu Xiaomao, don't be afraid. Not only will Teacher Tu protect you, but I will too!"
"And your friends, I will treat them as friends too."
Tu Yao couldn't help but laugh.
Xu Bai immediately raised his hand: "Big sister, I'll protect you too!"
Cheng Sangsang turned her head and glanced at him: "You? Save your breath. As long as your brain doesn't cause trouble, it's fine! You're such a low-IQ idiot!"
"How did I cause trouble?"
"At worst, we'll follow you wherever you go! If anything happens, we'll call for help, okay?"
Cheng Sangsang thought for a moment and nodded: "That's a good idea. From now on, we'll stay no more than ten meters away from Tu Xiaomao. Let's see who dares to cause trouble then!"
Tu Yao's hand, which was supporting her chin, suddenly froze.
After a few seconds of silence, she asked casually, "...Aren't you busy with work? Won't staying here all the time affect your work?"
Cheng Sangsang waved her hand: "Work isn't important, you're the most important!"
Tu Yao paused, withdrew her slightly aching hand, placed it on her knee, and seemed about to say something, but then fell silent.
Suddenly, several unusually loud curses came from the other side.
Tu Yao quickly looked up and saw Qi Kai's mother sitting down on the ground opposite her, pointing at the camera and cursing Tu Chaoxi.
After this commotion, the reporters looked at each other in bewilderment, at a loss for what to do.
But he kept taking pictures with his camera.
No one stopped them, and the couple's wailing and cursing grew louder.
They even brought in the police.
"Oh my god! Why are they yelling so fiercely!"
Cheng Sangsang got angry: "It's too noisy, Tu Xiaomao, let's get in the car!"
Tu Yao's expression also changed.
"……good."
The car door opened and closed again, and Tu Chaoxi turned around: "Why did you get in?"
Tu Yao's ears were ringing, and she pursed her lips: "...They're insulting you."
Should we insult him?
Tu Chaoxi raised an eyebrow and rolled down the car window.
The cursing and crying instantly filled the room.
Tu Yao frowned again, feeling a dull ache in her chest. She wanted to say something, but then she saw Tu Chaoxi chuckle and snort before rolling up the car window.
He seemed completely unconcerned.
Then he answered another phone call.
Tu Yao was stunned for a moment, then swallowed her words.
The couple's voices were exceptionally loud; even through the car window, a few scattered sounds could be heard.
Tu Yao turned away, refusing to listen. She opened her phone, and saw that the hashtag "Tu Chaoxi told people" was prominently displayed on the trending topics list.
After staring at it for a while, I couldn't resist clicking on it.
I had just scrolled through a few posts when I suddenly stopped.
Amidst a series of gossip posts, someone with exceptionally fast internet speed uploaded a video of Qi Kai's parents throwing a tantrum and verbally abusing Tu Chaoxi.
Open the comments section.
That's a really harsh criticism.
[This is really interesting; this is probably the first time Tu Chaoxi has been criticized so harshly.]
[That's normal. Who can stand being pointed at by so many cameras, with their entire family history being dug up?]
Why did the person exposed by netizens criticize Tu Chaoxi?
[He brought it on himself. With his immense popularity, how could he not know the consequences of releasing the announcement?]
The further down the page she looked, the more tense Tu Yao's expression became.
Tu Chaoxi finally hung up the phone and turned around to see his sister with a solemn expression.
"What's wrong?"
Tu Yao snapped back to reality, her tone ambiguous: "Someone edited out the video of them insulting you just now."
"Many people are laughing at you."
“And some people are joining in to curse you.”
Tu Chaoxi raised an eyebrow, glanced at it, and said dismissively, "Then go ahead and curse."
Tu Yao was taken aback, and this time she looked at him with some confusion.
"Alright, that's about it for today. I'll take you to work now."
"You're on the night shift again today, right?" Tu Chaoxi turned off her phone, started the car, and muttered with a frown, "Why are you on the night shift every day? Can your body handle it?"
"Send a message to your second and youngest brothers, and we'll meet up over there."
The car drove off quickly, leaving the crying and fussing behind.
The dark street receded in both directions. Tu Yao gripped her phone, sending a message, the screen flashing on and off repeatedly.
The page then returned to the previous screen.
Almost every time the page is refreshed, hundreds or even thousands more comments appear below.
Tu Yao couldn't hold back any longer. Looking at Tu Chaoxi's usual expression, she asked, "...Don't you care?"
Don't you feel angry, sad, or annoyed?
Tu Chaoxi glanced over unexpectedly, looked at her, and couldn't help but laugh.
"What's wrong, Tu Xiaomao? Why are you so worried about your brother?"
"Don't panic, your brother's got a good reputation, do you think he's afraid of a little bit of criticism?"
Besides, what does that matter? Qi Kai's mother's words just now didn't bother him at all.
If he can take care of someone, Tu Chaoxi doesn't care how much he gets scolded.
He felt he hadn't scolded them enough; he wanted things to escalate further, making it difficult to control the situation.
He could easily add two more charges against him.
The bigger the commotion, the heavier the backlash the couple will suffer, and the less they will dare to provoke his sister again.
Of course, there were also his sister's friends.
In terms of public opinion, ever since his sister single-handedly rescued him from the backlash he faced online that year, he has never lost a battle in recent years.
He laughed and said, "Besides, with your brother's huge fame and fans all over the world, one sentence from each of them can suppress all these criticisms, understand?"
Tu Yao: "...But in your entertainment industry, isn't it true that the bigger the fame, the more haters you get?"
"And you have a lot of rivals."
"Aren't you afraid that your rivals will see the video and gang up on you?"
"You're talking about solving the problems created by people, but it seems like you've brought trouble upon yourself first."
Tu Chaoxi: ...
Tu Chaoxi finally realized that something was wrong.
He was so busy cleaning up the couple that he didn't notice his sister seemed to be sulking.
"...What's going on, Tu Xiaomao? What are you thinking about?"
