Arts Channel.
Director’s office.
Wang Shuixin’s secretary was the last person to receive the news, which showed how terrible his interpersonal relations was in the unit. Only when Wang Cen was sent away by an ambulance did he receive the news. He was immediately struck dumb as he entered the Director’s office without knocking, “Director! Wang Cen got beaten up!”
Wang Shuixin was on the phone. His face was extremely sullen. Clearly, he already knew of it.
The secretary fumed, “That Zhang Ye! Does he even look up to the Leader!? What is he doing!?”
Wang Shuixin put down the phone and with a cold face said, “Report it to the police!”, and with a pause, “You don’t have to care about it! Go out!”
“Yes,” the secretary left upon hearing this.
Wang Shuixin flipped open his telephone book and called a number, “Hello, Superintendent Song. I’m Old Wang. My son got beaten up. Please send the police!”
……
Recording studio.
Zhang Ye had finished recording two episodes.
The audience was paying full attention. Sometimes they bent over laughing, while sometimes they applauded.
At this moment, the door to the recording studio was pushed open. A few policemen came in!
“What are you doing?”
“We are recording a program!”
“Unauthorized people are prohibited from entering!”
Hou Ge and Dafei said in an unfriendly manner.
The Leader, Superintendent Song, flashed a warrant, “Police. Is Zhang Ye here? Come with us to the station! There’s a matter that requires investigation!”
Xiao Lu shouted, “That can be done later!”
“It cannot be done later! It has to be now!” Superintendent Song turned fierce!
Who knew that Zhang Ye did not even mind them. He was even too lazy to even give them a glance. He continued lecturing about the Three Kingdoms. He looked unperturbed and did not even stammer once. He still did what he needed to. The noise from the live audience was quite loud, and there were a few cameras, but Zhang Ye’s microphone was the only one that mattered. As long as the scene was not too chaotic, it would not affect the audio recording.
The audience turned back and were shocked. They did not know what was going on.
Police?
They were here to catch Teacher Zhang Ye?
What, what had happened?
Hu Fei suppressed his flames of anger. He never expected Wang Shuixin to allow the police to enter the recording studio and even do it in front of the audience. The reason why Hu Fei took Zhang Ye away for recording was to dodge the trouble and to allow everyone to calm down and digest it. Who knew that Wang Shuixin was such an ***hole that he would let the police into the recording studio? From the fact that they were here, didn’t it mean that Wang Shuixin disregarded anything else because of his son? He did not ask why, nor did he care if his son was in the wrong, and all he wanted was revenge? He didn’t even care how much trouble and negativity it would bring to the television station and their Arts Channel’s program? Wang Shuixin’s reaction made Hu Fei feel cold. He knew that when a person abandoned all objectivity and principles for his own son, that was a very scary and dangerous signal!
“Are you not stopping?” a policeman said angrily.
“Where is your Leader?” Superintendent Song said impatiently.
Hu Fei stood forward, “I’m the Leader. If you have anything to say, say it to me, but not here. This is a recording studio. It does not welcome anyone!”
Superintendent Song looked at him, “Alright, I’ll wait till you finish recording this episode!”
Outside.
Dafei simmered with anger as he said, “Based on what are you arresting Teacher Zhang? Do you even know about the situation?”
Superintendent Song, “We understand the situation already. Wang Cen is injured and is currently hospitalized. This is intentionally causing bodily harm. We need to bring Zhang Ye back for the investigation!”
Xiao Lu said, “I can testify! Teacher Zhang was doing it in self-defense!”
“I can testify, too! Everyone can testify for Teacher Zhang!” Hou Ge said.
Superintendent Song was unyielding, “We have already heard many of such testimonies. I’m telling you, we already understand the situation very well. Regardless of the reason, battery is battery! No one can escape the arms of the law! Is your program done? Quickly bring him over!”
Xiao Lu gritted her teeth, “Wang Cen was taking liberties with a woman! And he was arrogant enough to beat people! And Teacher Zhang was wrong to return blows? What sort of logic is that!?”
Superintendent Song said, “You do not need to care how we handle the case!”
Not long later, the episode was done recording.
Zhang Ye signaled to the few cameras and packed his stuff and walked out of the recording studio, “Dear policemen, are you looking for me?”
Superintendent Song said coldly, “Take a trip down to the station with us!”
Zhang Ye was already mentally prepared. He was without any fear. Anyway, he had beaten Wang Shuixin’s son to a pulp, “Alright, let’s go.”
