Chapter 1: Are you sick?
"Ah-" This is the shouting voice of a salty pig-handed man flying in the air.
Bang!
This is the sound of the impact when the body of Xiang Pig Hand Man hit the billboard as he fell to the ground.
The time interval between the two sounds is very short, proving that the salty pig hand man did not enjoy a long flight of pleasure.
The foam board advertisement was broken into two pieces, and the butterfly combination's "body" split into two segments from the middle.
When danger approaches, the body naturally reacts with a counterattack.
This is the skill that Tang Zhong learned in prison.
His movements were too fast and too swift, let alone 'swift thunder', even 'fast broadcast' couldn't keep up with his speed.
So, until the man was kicked flying by Tang Zhong, everyone still didn't understand what had happened.
"What happened?"
"What's wrong with Tang Xin, why did she hit someone?"
"My god, her punching posture is so cool - I'm in love with her-----"
The most depressing thing is those entertainment reporters on the scene. If they could have captured the moment when Tang Xin kicked someone, it would definitely be tomorrow's headline news.
Unfortunately, Tang Xin's speed was too fast, and before hitting them, she didn't even greet them.
But this little regret cannot affect their extremely excited mood at this moment.
Tang Xin hit someone.
"Tang Xin, a member of the Butterfly group, beats up fans and kicks people flying over 2 meters high"
"Is it an idol or a thug? Why did the star beat up his fan?"
In their minds, they had already come up with sensational headlines for reporting this event.
Security personnel rushed over and surrounded Tang Chong, Lin Huiyin, Zhang Heben, and the other two members of the Butterfly group in the middle, then quickly escorted them away from the scene.
Reporters chased after him, shouting loudly: "Tang Xin Tang Xin, why did you hit someone?"
"Can a star just hit someone? Tang Xin, don't you owe an explanation to those fans who support you?"
"Is the Butterfly Gang a gangster? Why beat people up for no reason?"
Bai Su was like a beautiful little hen, protecting Tang Chong and Lin Huiyin. Zhang Heben quickly slipped into the waiting car beside them, not allowing them to answer any questions from reporters.
"Tang Zhong." In the RV on the way back, Bai Su finally couldn't help but blow up. "What did I tell you when we went out? I told you a thousand times, ten thousand times, don't speak, don't speak..."
"I didn't say anything." Tang Zhong said with infinite grievance.
"---" Bai Su's throat was sweet and almost spat out half a catty of fresh blood.
"But your actions have consequences far more severe than just talking. Several hundred times worse." Bai Su was so angry she was about to pass out. Even now, this guy who hit her still thought he was being polite. "You tell me, how can you hit a fan? You're a star, aren't you? Which star dares to kick a fan and send them flying? Do you know how severe the consequences of that are? The Butterfly might be ruined by your one kick."
"He touched my butt." Tang Chong explained. He didn't think he had done anything wrong, he just thought his method was wrong - instead of kicking him away in public, he should have turned around and remembered the pervert's appearance, then snuck up behind him and hit him with a blunt object?
Even if it's a female fan who touched her butt, it's okay - a good man doesn't fight with women.
Thinking of her charming butt being touched by a man, Tang Chong felt extremely disgusted and wanted to jump into the water and soak for tens of hours.
"Really?" Bai Su was taken aback and said: "In that case, the situation would be very favorable for us."
She took out her phone, dialed a number, and said with a smile: "Director Liu, I'm really sorry that something like this happened - yes, there is a reason. If not, our Tang Xin wouldn't have done something so impulsive."
Bai Su fiercely gave Tang Chong a sideways glance, as compensation for his aggressive behavior at this moment.
"Director Liu, shouldn't there be a video recording on site? Yes, that fan was a pervert, he took advantage of when Tang Xin was signing autographs to secretly touch her butt... You know, our Tang Xin has always been very conservative, she's known as the "Jade Girl" in the industry, and this is the first time she's experienced something like this. So, under emotional impulse, she kicked him out with one foot."
"Yes, yes, we've learned some kung fu skills. You know, as a star, you have to be able to sing and dance well, but without any martial arts foundation, how can that work?"
"Uh-huh. Alright then. I'll be waiting for your good news. Thanks, Director Liu, I owe you one, and I'll treat you to a feast when I see you next."
She hung up the phone and let out a sigh of relief. Looking at Tang Zhong, she said: "Liu Zong is still very good to talk to, he won't pursue today's matter - now that guy you kicked away has been sent to the hospital by their people, they will start investigating what happened, to help you clear your name in public. You'll know soon enough, those reporters will write about how terrifying and immoral you are..."
"Good job." Tang Chong said to Bai Su.
He now understands why Lin Huiyin and Zhang Hebo are so dependent on her. This woman is indeed working hard to maintain and take care of them, not only in work but also in daily life.
Bai Su rubbed her temples and said wearily: "Let's wait for news. Hopefully there won't be a next time."
Tang nodded seriously and said, "Yeah. After this incident... probably no one will dare to touch my butt again, right?"
"You—" Bai Su almost jumped up to knock this guy's head off.
No way. She thought it was necessary to teach this guy a lesson. Otherwise, heaven knows what more serious things would happen in the future?
She collected her thoughts, cleared her throat and looked at Tang Zhong with a serious expression, asking: "Tang Zhong, do you understand your current identity?"
"I understand. A member of the Butterfly Combination." Tang Zhong replied with a smile.
"Not bad. You're a member of the Butterfly Combination. You're a star." Bai Su was still very satisfied with Tang Chong's cooperative attitude. "Have you ever seen or heard of a star who beats up fans?"
Tang Chong shook his head.
"Celebrities are public figures. Their every move is scrutinized by the media and the public. When appearing in public, a single glance, an action, or even a word can bring disastrous consequences."
"What happened to you today is something that many celebrities have experienced. However, they all chose to resolve it in a more gentle way."
"What method?" Tang Zhong asked.
"---" Bai Su found it difficult to answer. Generally, when celebrities encounter such things, they can only choose to swallow their pride.
Seeing Bai Su's silence, Tang Chong already knew her answer.
"I don't think like you do," said Tang Chong. "Celebrities are also human beings, they have their own emotions and preferences. If someone scolds them, they can scold back. If someone touches them, they can touch back - or even fight back. This behavior is sexual harassment in the eyes of the law - if we choose to remain silent about things that violate the law, it will only embolden those with immoral intentions who are trying to muddy the waters."
"Think about it, today they touched me - and fortunately it was me. What if they had touched Tong Xin instead?"
"As Táng Xīn's older brother-----"
Bai Su looked at Tang Chong with surprise and said: "You finally acknowledge Tang Xin as your sister?"
"She was my sister to begin with." Tang Zhong didn't want to tell Bai Su that he had secretly read Tang Xin's diary, and continued the previous topic: "I don't want my own sister to have to endure such humiliation just because she became a star. If they were touching echoes, touching Heben-"
Seeing two women staring at him in anger, Tang Chong smiled awkwardly and said: "This is just a metaphor. I know that no one will touch you-"
The two women became even angrier then.
"I think, as their parents, they can't accept their daughter suffering such humiliation. Right? Being a star is glorious and making money is important-----but this doesn't mean stars should give up their emotions and stance on what's right or wrong. Behavior like today's should be met with a kick in the teeth like I did. If every star acted like this, which pervert would dare to mess with them in the future?"
"You mean to say that everything you did today was completely correct?"
"Of course, I also made mistakes," Tang Chong said. "I shouldn't have kicked him flying with one foot."
"It's finally recognized its own mistake." Bai Su said with relief.
"I should turn around and slap him a few times, then glare at him with red eyes and scold him as a pervert-----" Tang Zhong said. "In that case, those reporters and fans will know what happened. Everyone will attack and condemn the pervert, and won't point their fingers at me - I promise you, if there's a next time, I'll improve."
"----" Bai Su thought, it's better for me to die anyway.
When the car arrived at Ziyuan, Bai Su received another call.
After hanging up the phone, Bai Su said to the three Butterfly Combo members in the car: "One bad news and one good news. The bad news is that the pervert who was kicked by Tang Chong has been sent to the hospital with two broken ribs."
"Kick off two ribs with one foot?" Zhang He stared at Tang Chong. Is this guy a monster?
Bai Su nodded and smiled, saying: "The good news is that Liu had someone retrieve the video footage from back then. The footage clearly shows that it was a fan who first reached out to touch Tang Chong's butt, and only then did Tang Chong kick him flying."
"That fan is so pitiful." Zhang He furrowed his brow, his chubby little face full of sympathy. "Having two ribs kicked in and still managing to grope a man's butt-"
