Chapter 405 - Because "I love this land"! (1/2)
It was a mess!
A fight had broken out at the scene!
More than twenty youths and a few older guys and girls had surrounded Lee Anson and his two bodyguards to beat them up. The Central TV staff and security team were desperately trying to break it up while other celebrities and artistes were also persuading the attackers not to do it. Some hardcore fans of Lee Anson had rushed forward to try to protect Lee Anson as well. As they were all young girls, the others did not dare to lay a finger on them and only avoided hitting them. Someone was hindered by one of Lee Anson's brain-dead fans and couldn't do anything, so after a while, he could only give up.
”He's trying to escape!”
”Beat up Lee Anson!”
”Stop right there!”
”Anson-oppa!”
”Ah! Who's scratching at me!”
”They've insulted us as a backward nation! Why are you still on his side?”
”We like Anson-oppa, so!? He can insult us as much he likes and we'll still like him!”
That scene was indescribably messy. A hundred people had set themselves on them and no one wanted out!
At this moment, some noise could be heard coming from two directions. It was the sound of chatting and laughter. A crowd came out from the special tunnel exit and at the other side, a number of audiences and reporters had also begun exiting the gala venue. The incident over here had gone on for too long as the Spring Festival Gala had also come to an end!
A slightly more well known male host was walking out and laughing with a few friends. He was attending as a guest tonight and was enjoying the company of his friends, ”I still preferred Sister Zhang and Auntie Zhang's 'Woman Flower'. That song is simply too.....” Suddenly, he turned his head and saw the fight, causing him to stand and stare with his mouth opened!
”What's the matter?”
”What is this?”
”Aiyo, there's a fight going on!”
”It's the new year, what is this!”
All of those who had exited the gala venue were stunned by this, with no exception. No one could possibly have expected it since they were still in a celebratory mood inside while all of this violence was happening outside!
”Quickly go and take a look at what's happening!”
”Call for help! Call for someone to help first!”
The Central TV supervisor, who was trying to control the incident earlier, turned pale. He had wanted to resolve it before it became a big issue, but who would have known that the gala had already ended. Everyone began streaming out of the venue. The people who came out were no ordinary people either. They included the organization’s leaders, some influential public figures, and their families, all people of importance. He couldn't keep it under wraps anymore even if he wanted to! It was impossible!
Sure enough, quite a number of Central TV's leaders had stepped out at this time. They had been busy with the gala's broadcast earlier and no one dared to disturb them. As their phones were switched off, they only learned of the news now. All of them rushed over anxiously only to be angered by what they saw!
”Stop!”
”What's going on!”
”Quickly, pull them apart!”
”Stop fighting! I am the Deputy Station Head of Central TV! Come to me if there's an issue!”
However, no one was listening to him. No matter how much they shouted for them to stop from the outside, or if they were the Deputy Station Head or the security guards, none of them were able to get those who had surrounded Lee Anson to list or do as they were told!
When Zhang Ye saw this, he too was worried that they would hurt Lee Anson badly. It was fine if they just gave him a punch or two. In the event that they injured him heavily, that would be bad. He squeezed himself over into the crowd and said, ”Everyone, stop fighting. That's enough!” It seemed like there was no need for Lee Anson to apologize anymore. His face was bruised all over, so he probably couldn't say sorry even if he wanted to. The two bodyguards were the same and had their faces all messed up, but their injuries did not seem too bad and just looked mostly to be superficial wounds. At most, they would have suffered a dislocation. The commoners did not go for heavy blows, nor did they use any weapons. They used nothing more than just their fists and legs to vent their frustrations.
No one's words made a difference.
Only when Zhang Ye said something did everyone stop fighting.
”Stop!”
”No more fighting!”
”Listen to Teacher Zhang Ye!”
”Yea, listen to Teacher Zhang!”
The commoners dispersed backwards. A big sister, who still looked angry even spat at them as she accompanied the rest to finally move back 10 meters.
The Central TV leader stood there stunned. He shouted for so long and no one bothered about him, but when this person shouted?
The other celebrities and audiences who had just made their way out and saw this could neither make heads or tails of what just happened either. Why did this young man's words seem so effective? He was simply being obeyed by everyone! Teacher Zhang Ye? Who was that? d.a.m.n! Could it be that rumored Zhang Ye? The numero uno of the SARFT's blacklist?
Heh!
It's really him!
Someone recognized him!
Actually, the reason why the commoners had listened to Zhang Ye and no one else, was simply because Zhang Ye was the leader of this commotion. The weak little girl, who had been bullied earlier, had no one to stand up for her until Zhang Ye stood up to demand for an apology on her behalf. He even did so without caring for his loss of reputation by blocking the exit. Just based on this action, everyone was convinced to follow him!
Over on the side, the person-in-charge, who was first at the scene, went over to explain to the Central TV leaders. he spoke objectively and relayed the incident to them from the beginning. Around them, many people heard his explanation and finally understood what was going on!
There were huge crowds of people, forming layer after layer.
Many of those who had exited the venue joined in to see what was going on, but a portion of those also had to rush off to other schedules.
Suddenly, the sound of police sirens rang out!
Two police vehicles had arrived and came in directly to the grounds of Central TV!
Yang Jie got out of the car and brought a few policemen along with him. When he had received the call regarding the fight, he was at home preparing to pa.s.s the new year with his family. The person reporting the incident did not make it clear over the phone, but mentioned that someone was about to be beaten to death at the Broadcasting Studio 1 of Central TV. Yang Jie was confused by the mention of the Central TV Broadcasting Studio 1! Wasn't that the Spring Festival Gala's venue? How would something like that happen over there, but after receiving several more calls, he understood that something must have happened and so activated several policemen to rush over here with him. When he saw the situation before them, 3 men were lying on the ground all bruised up. It was really a fight!
Two big sized men wore stifled expressions.
While Lee Anson was covering his face with his hands, with a rage-filled expression!
Eh, wait!
Isn't this person Lee Anson?
Didn't he just perform on the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala?
Yang Jie was dumbfounded. He had watched the Spring Festival Gala too and his daughter really liked this singer. She had been talking about him over and over while watching the gala!
”Superintendent Yang!”
”Yo, Director Sun, what's the matter?”
”Let me tell you.....”
The two of them had known each other for a long time.
After a few minutes, when Yang Jie and the other policemen were aware of the situation, all of them looked in unison towards Zhang Ye. The name of Zhang Ye was already notorious within the police system in Beijing. Previously, when he had beaten the son of the Beijing Television Station's leader, he was detained at the police station. He had created a big mess while he was there and in the end, they had bow to public pressure and released him. This was how Yang Jie and the other policemen knew about Zhang Ye. Their first reaction was that this would be a headache to handle!
When Lee Anson saw the police, he shouted loudly at them, ”……￥##@@!”
The thin bodyguard helped him up and translate his words. It was nothing more than words of protest and complaints. The bodyguard was also enraged, as they had been to China many times in the past, but they had never encountered something like this before. Getting beaten up? To others, it might be nothing, but to a trending celebrity who was enjoy his moment of fame? This was a big issue! It might even affect the career development of Lee Anson in China!
Kaka!
Kacha!
Many people had begun taking photographs!
Lee Anson roared, ”가!”
The bodyguard stood in front of him to block the photographing crowd!
Right now, the situation was clear to Yang Jie and he had his own judgment of what happened. He walked over to Zhang Ye and asked, ”Did you beat them up?”
Zhang Ye graciously acknowledged this fact, ”Yes.”
Yang Jie said helplessly, ”Then I need you to come with us.”
Ci Xiufang rushed forward at this moment, ”It's the new year, can't you do anything about it?”
Yang Jie saw her and realized that he knew her, but only from television. In those skits, he would always see her, but he couldn't remember her name. He said, ”We are just doing our job. It's the new year and I'm sure n.o.body wanted this to happen, but we still need to address and solve the issue at hand here.”
Nearby, some commoners tried to put in a word for Zhang Ye.
”Why are you arresting him?”
”It's that Lee Anson and his bodyguards who started it!”
”Yea, if you want to arrest anyone, then arrest the three of them!”
”Teacher Zhang was just being a good Samaritan and was seeking justice! What reason do you have to take him away?!”
A policeman standing at the back said, ”He still shouldn't have kicked others like this.”
