Chapter 407 - We can do it too! (1/2)

At night.

3AM.

In the police station, Zhang Ye had been brought into a small room. He was not handcuffed or restrained. The policemen only closed the door before they left. In the room, there were three chairs and a rather worn down wooden table. The surface of the table was peeling too. This was the legendary dark room. It was already Zhang Ye's second time in one, but it felt different from the first time. The police station staff had treated him rather well since it was only him in there. If he wasn't a public figure, it would be normal for there to be four or five people locked up in the room with him.

His cellphone was no longer with him.

Neither was his wallet.

Zhang Ye grabbed a chair and sat down and lay his head on the peeling table. He started nodding off as he thought about his parents, not knowing if they would be too worried. This was something that Zhang Ye felt very guilty about as he did not allow his family to pa.s.s the new year in peace. As a son, he was not filial in this sense. However, Zhang Ye did not regret his actions. He knew that for some matters, someone would need to step up to do something about it. Since he was up for it, Zhang Ye had not held back. He loved this land, he loved this ethnicity, and for all of these, Zhang Ye was willing to do anything. Even if it meant sacrificing something, he would still be a nationalist through and through. He was one in the past, he was one now, and he would be one in the future!

He had fallen asleep.

Whatever was happening outside the dark room, he was clueless about it all!

On the web.

A lot of people had starting to take notice the developments of this incident!

Zhang Ye's friends and relatives, his fans and the supporters of this incident, Lee Anson's brainless fans, all of them paid full attention to this news!

Suddenly, someone called 100010001 revealed some news. This was a newly registered nickname, created specially to leak news anonymously, ”The latest news is that Teacher Zhang Ye has taken all responsibility for the incident. He admitted that he made the first move and was the one who did all the beating when the crowd surrounded the Koreans. He said that no one else was involved and signed off on that recorded statement. He might also have to face criminal charges for this. Don't ask me for more details, as that is all that I know. I only made this statement on Weibo because I want to let those people who are still scolding Teacher Zhang Ye know what sort of man he is. He is an artist who has a strong sense of responsibility, emotions and patriotic spirit!  Before you all curse at Teacher Zhang Ye, could all of you touch your hearts and think about it? Do you all really know what Lee Anson is like? Or do you all really know what Teacher Zhang Ye is like? Do you understand why he did what he did? If you read ”I love this land” once more and tried to understand it, I'm sure that many of you would get it! Very few people are admirable to me, but now, Zhang Ye is one of them. Those who doubt him, those who curse at him, let me tell you right now that Teacher Zhang Ye is not who you think he is. He is a teacher worthy of everyone's respect!”

When this was posted onto Weibo, many of Lee Anson's fans did not think too much about it. Instead, many of them had a tone of schadenfreude!

”Serves him right!”

”Only a death sentence would suffice!”

”If he wishes to take all responsibility, let him!”

”Sentence him!”

But for a lot of other people, it caused their hearts to wince!

”What?”

”Is that true?”

”Teacher Zhang Ye wants to take all the blame himself?”

”He was not involved in the brawl at the end! I was there at that time! I saw it all! Zhang Ye was not in the crowd that surrounded those Koreans! He was standing far away!”

”I apologize, I would like to take back what I said about my doubts towards Zhang Ye's actions. This person, Zhang Ye, might do things that are maddening at times. He has a bad temper and doesn't have regard for consequences, but yet he is someone who is difficult to hate. He's a jerk, but somehow is a jerk that makes people respect him. A person who can still think for others on a day like the first day of the new year, who'd rather stay a few more days in incarceration than implicating others. Who could hate him? Who could resist supporting him? Who is qualified to doubt him?”

”How can we let Teacher Zhang take all the responsibility!”

”What the heck is Zhang Ye trying to do!”

”If you take all the responsibility, what would happen to you?”

”Teacher Zhang, why are you being like this! Are you mad!”

”F**k! Teacher Zhang, you're looking down on us! We took part in the beating too! I will take responsibility for my own actions! It's just a matter of being detained! You didn't even bat an eyelid to that, so why would I! It's no big deal! I will go and turn myself in tomorrow! At most, I'd spend my new year in detainment!”

”We cannot allow Teacher Zhang to bear this alone! There were more than 20 people at that time, so who else hit Lee Anson? I am one, so let's come forward!”
