I Am A Prodigy

Chapter 607 - Aftermath

Chapter 607: Aftermath

Initially, the trending searches on all major platforms were also related to Ye Lingchen.

After all, it was surprising that the combination of a sports star and a crosstalk newbie could create such an excellent crosstalk routine. Moreover when Ye Lingchen managed to create it within mere minutes.

There were many topics between them and it was undoubtedly one of the rare good shows.

However, another wave surfaced right before the first one ended. When everyone was still discussing Ye Lingchen’s talents and the enjoyable crosstalk, news came that Ye Lingchen assaulted someone and that someone was the one and only Hyun-Min Kim!

It was utterly mind-blowing.

Completely caught off-guard.

Aside from the news, the video of the assault was everywhere too. In particular, Hyun-Min Kim’s pig-headed appearance was made into an emoticon. The only word to describe him was miserable.

Xiao Feifei was in the villa at that time.

“Baby Ying, what in the world happened? Did Lingchen really assault someone?” Xiao Feifei asked anxiously.

“It’s true. He assaulted Hyun-Min Kim quite vigorously and I noticed that he looks super handsome when he’s beating people into a pulp! ” Zhao Liangying answered in a slightly excited voice.

“Is he okay?” Xiao Feifei asked, worried.

“He’s fine. It’s not like you don’t know his skills.”

“It’s good that he’s fine.” Xiao Feifei breathed out a long sigh of relief. “This incident has created repercussions. I need to contact public relations. We’ll also try our best to have our friends help Lingchen explain everything. We can’t let this affect him.”

“Mm, yes, Sister Feifei.” Zhao Liangying nodded.

...

Wanrong Technology Headquarters.

“Chairman Ouyang, things don’t look good! Chairman Ye assaulted Hyun-Min Kim!”

“Who’s Hyun-Min Kim? Why did Ye Lingchen have to assault him? Can’t the fella just give us a break?” Ouyang Qing was speechless. Ye Lingchen attended the Spring Festival Gala earlier, then assaulted someone after that. How troublesome!

“Look at the news. It’s very serious.”

“Get ready to do public relations.”

...

Huyu Streaming headquarters.

Song Gan received the news as well. He scratched his head in search of a way and was prepared to bring Ye Lingchen back from the police station before discussing it.

...

At the same time, among Hyun-Min Kim’s Support Team, a gathering place for his diehard fans...

“Sisters, have all of you received the news? Our husband was assaulted!”

“Yeah, I can’t bear it! We can’t bear it anymore! Our husband is so miserable!”

“Vengeance! We must avenge him!”

“I think Hyun-Min Kim went overboard. He scolded our country and our people. It’s too despicable.”

“Yeah, Hyun-Min Kim is a member of the Stick Nation and we’re Chinese. We should be rational.”

Those two were directly booted out of the group the next moment.

“These two are traitors. Their hearts changed so easily and they don’t deserve to be called our sisters!”

“We want Ye Lingchen to pay the price! We must show our husband that we are determined to defend him!”

“Yes, Sisters, let’s curse Ye Lingchen on the net!”

...

The news spread rapidly!

Hyun-Min Kim was beaten and Ye Lingchen made the headlines!

This news was so unique that it could be said to have covered all the trending topics of then. It swept across all major platforms the minute it appeared, while the number of discussions and reposts soared by the second.

“F*cking willy!”

“God Ye has gone nuts! ”

“This video is addictive. God Ye has learned kung fu!”

“That kick is on point.”

“Hahaha, awesome! My blood boils when I watch it. God Ye deserves to be called a God. He didn’t only teach the Stick Nation a lesson through basketball—he was also brave enough to actually pummel the guy! Manly!”

“I set the video of Hyun-Min Kim kneeling to the national flag as my screensaver. I’m so touched that I nearly peed my pants.”

“Damn, this is the kind of video that I’m most scared of. It made me cry a few times.”

“I can feel God Ye’s heartache. Those diehard fans are scary. God Ye doesn’t need to concern himself with this group of people.”

“It’s not just those diehard fans. You know how reporters and media personnel lack principle nowadays. How insufferable for God Ye!”

“The Answer is amazing. How many people have been shamed?”

“He’s a sports star but is capable of producing crosstalk at such a critical moment. Do you think that’s all there is to him? Of course not. He writes poems too! He’s perfect in terms of principles, intellect, physique, and artistic tendencies. He’s a f*cking five-star student!”

“I’m beginning to worry whether God Ye will be okay?”

“What’s gonna happen to him? God Ye’s approach is very pleasing. What could he be held responsible for?”

“I mean, he did beat someone up, and ruthlessly too.”

“I don’t care. I’ll support him anyway!”

...

Various media outlets reported the incident while different versions of the full video circulated on the internet. Some people even wrote about the incident in great detail, even adding annotations and analysis.

Numerous internet stars expressed their opinions too, most of which were in support of Ye Lingchen and opined that Ye Lingchen was not guilty. However, there were also plenty of Hyun-Min Kim’s brain-dead fans yelling and cursing Ye Lingchen, as well as smearing Ye Lingchen’s name to no end. They went so far as to demand, some even threatened, for the police to lock Ye Lingchen up and subject him to severe punishment!

Inside the police station.

Ye Lingchen arrived there soon enough with Sergeant Gao and the others. He and Hyun-Min Kim were locked up separately.

Strictly speaking, Hyun-Min Kim was being held there while Ye Lingchen was there as a guest.

“Chief Ye, have some water.” A policeman handed over a cup of hot water in a very polite manner.

“Thank you,” Ye Lingchen took the water.

“Your actions in this entire fiasco was very satisfying. The Stick Nation’s people think highly of themselves because they receive preferential treatment from our country, but the most unsettling fact is that they earn our money like crazy but look down on us! What kind of people are they? I’ve been pissed at them for a very long time, but only warriors like you dare to take action directly. I wouldn’t have dared to do that,” the policeman said in admiration.

At that point, Sergeant Gao came in from outside and the little comrade shut up quickly.

“Chief Ye, we’ll have to follow the law. All you need to do is cooperate for a while since this is standard procedure,” Sergeant Gao explained. “We were forced to apprehend you and bring you back here. Hyun-Min’s actions incited a lot of anger, but we don’t have enough authority to deal with it directly. ”

The incident with Ye Lingchen was a virtuous cause. The police would certainly not give him a hard time, even if his status was not taken into account.

“I understand,” Ye Lingchen nodded.

“Then a simple statement will do,” Sergeant Gao said.

At that moment, Xu Nan’s figure dashed in energetically and she saw Ye Lingchen at a glance.

“Master, you’re so handsome! You’re the only one who could do such a prestigious act,” Xu Nan exclaimed excitedly.

Then, she could not help but frown when she saw what was going on. “Come on, Sergeant Gao, my master is a warrior and you all know each other too. Is it really necessary for him to give a statement?”

“This is just to record what happened at the time,” Sergeant Gao said.

“The situation is already very clear and the entire internet knows it. There’s no need to do anything else. Just let my master go,” Xu Nan could not help but say.

“That’s non-compliance with the regulations.” Sergeant Gao shook his head and smiled wryly. Xu Nan was being too foolish.

Hyun-Min Kim was a public figure and the incident caused a big enough stir. Sergeant Gao was the leader of the police force too, and there was no way for him to deal with the case privately.

Although Ye Lingchen was a martial artist of considerably high status, he was one of the people involved, and his identity could neither be used to nor be made public. Otherwise, the narrative would change and it would become a situation where a warrior abused his power to assault someone else...
