Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

Ye You's pupils dilated as she pointed at the middle-aged man's nose and said, "Who are you calling small-headed and brainless?"

The middle-aged man retorted without backing down, "Whoever has a small head knows it in their heart!"

"You!" Ye You clenched her fists and was about to stand up when Zheng Kang, who was sitting beside her, quickly pulled her back into her seat.

"Steady, steady, let's not get angry," Zheng Kang consoled.

Ye You remained in a half-squatting position for a while before calming down and sitting back down.

Actually, it wasn't surprising that she was so agitated. After all, people used to insult her with veiled words, but this time, they directly called her out by name.

The middle-aged man heard Zheng Kang's words and curled his lips. "I won't get angry with an idiot."

Ye You, who had just sat down, clenched her loosened fists again upon hearing this, but under the restraint of her conscious mind, she didn't do anything irrational and turned her attention back to the stage.

The enthusiastic applause subsided after ten seconds.

Li Chenqiu's lips curled into a subtle arc.

This sentimental part is finally over. Next should be the normal interview, right!

With anticipation in his eyes, Li Chenqiu glanced at his cue card, then looked at Li Chenqiu and said, "Chenqiu, did you know that there's a fan club for you in City 11 now?"

Li Chenqiu was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, "A reporter mentioned it to me earlier today."

Yang Zixiao's eyebrows curved slightly as he looked at Li Chenqiu with gentle eyes. "Do you have anything you want to say to them?"

"Um… thank you for your love and support. I will not forget my original intention and continue to move forward, shining in the Tianyuan Federation and seeking happiness for everyone," Li Chenqiu responded very formally.

"Chenqiu said it so well. I believe you must really want to meet your fan club!" Yang Zixiao smiled faintly.

"Hmm?" Hearing this, Li Chenqiu's heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.

"Judging from your reaction, Chenqiu, you must really want to meet them!" Yang Zixiao smiled confidently. "Today, our program team will fulfill your dream. Everyone, please welcome Li Chenqiu's fan club with applause!"

Clap clap clap clap!

Before Li Chenqiu could react, a wave of applause erupted in the studio.

More than a dozen young men and women stood up from the audience and excitedly ran towards the stage amidst the cheers.

Li Chenqiu's face darkened at this scene, and his heart, which had finally settled down, was raised again.

Isn't this a talk show? Why aren't they asking tricky questions and instead turned it into a matchmaking event?

Soon, these people ran onto the stage and stood in a neat row, their eyes filled with tears as they stared straight at Li Chenqiu.

Li Chenqiu rubbed his nose awkwardly and stood up from the sofa.

Just as he was about to say something, the young people suddenly bowed deeply and shouted in unison, "Thank you!"

At that moment, Li Chenqiu felt his head buzzing and stood there somewhat helplessly.

Yang Zixiao slowly stood up and came to Li Chenqiu, reaching out to explain to him, "Chenqiu should be familiar with these people. They are all people who were saved by you in North Huangshan."

"Oh… no wonder they look so familiar!" A trace of embarrassment appeared on Li Chenqiu's face. "Everyone, please get up quickly. It must be uncomfortable to bow like that."

Hearing Li Chenqiu's words, these people straightened up.

Then, a delicate-looking girl stepped out of the line, staring at Li Chenqiu with red and swollen eyes, "Do… do you still remember me?"

Hearing this, Li Chenqiu looked the girl up and down, remembering the girl in the taxi in North Huangshan who was almost raped by a revived person.

He tentatively asked, "Are you… the girl in the taxi?"

"Yes, it's me!" The girl nodded eagerly. "If you hadn't killed that revived person, I wouldn't know… I wouldn't know…"

The girl's voice became smaller and smaller, and by the end, she was already sobbing, with large tears rolling down her cheeks.

Li Chenqiu walked to the girl's side, took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to her, and put his hand on her shoulder:

"Now that you've survived, don't dwell on those pains. After all, everything is irreversible. Even if the road ahead is full of twists and turns, we must move forward firmly."

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint trace of dimness flashed in Li Chenqiu's eyes, but no one noticed it.

"Um… thank you!" The girl's tone was sincere, and she retreated back into the line.

"I heard that you have also prepared a song to thank Chenqiu and want to sing it to him here, is that right?" The host Yang Zixiao asked in a deep voice.

As soon as these words came out, Li Chenqiu's expression froze.

No, how could this be repaying kindness with enmity!

"Yes, this is what we wrote together, called 'Thank You, Li Chenqiu'."

As soon as he finished speaking, passionate music rang out on the stage, not giving Li Chenqiu any time to react.

"It is you who lead us to peace~"

"It is you who let us see hope~"

"It is you, it is you, it is you~"

"Li Chenqiu, we thank you, we remember you, we cannot forget you~"

…

The next three minutes were the longest three minutes of Li Chenqiu's life.

He stood in front of everyone, always maintaining a polite smile, listening to the song that made people's toes curl.

And after the song ended, he sent the warmest applause and personally sent these "fans" off the stage one by one.

"Chenqiu, what do you think of their singing?" Yang Zixiao asked with a smile.

Li Chenqiu forced a smile. "They sang very well. Next time, don't… let them sing alone. I want to sing along too."

"Okay, if there's a chance, I'd like to sing along too," Yang Zixiao said expectantly. "Chenqiu, you just saw yourself in the eyes of your fans. Are you curious about what kind of person you are in your brother's eyes?"

Li Chenqiu's pupils trembled, and he quickly raised his hand to deny it. "What's so curious about that? I'm not curious at all!"

"Ah?" Yang Zixiao, who was about to look at the cue card, suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Chenqiu in surprise. "Not curious?"

"Yes, if I'm curious, I can directly ask him. Anyway, we live together in private. The audience's time is so precious, there's no need to waste time on my brother," Li Chenqiu explained quickly.

Didn't he understand what kind of temperament Li Qingxia had? If he really let the other party come up, where would he put his face?

Yang Zixiao bit his lip and smiled, turning his head to look in the direction of the director.

But before the program team's director could respond, Li Qingxia rushed out of the shadows on one side, panting and running to sit next to Li Chenqiu, putting his arm around Li Chenqiu's shoulder and saying:

"This segment is for the audience to understand you from my mouth. Does it matter if you're curious?"

Li Chenqiu took a deep breath, forcibly resisting the urge to punch someone. "Yes, it doesn't matter."

"Hahaha!" Li Qingxia nodded kindly to Yang Zixiao. "My brother is really good in every way, kind-hearted, simple-minded, full of justice, and very, very devoted.

I remember it was a summer when a very good-looking boy walked into the store. My brother, all of a sudden…"

Ding-dong!

At this moment, a phone notification sound rang out on the stage, and a second later…

Ding-dong… Ding-dong… Ding-dong…

The incessant notification sounds rang out in the studio like waves.

"Hey, why is my phone ringing? Didn't I put it on silent?"

"Yeah, I put mine on silent too, why is it ringing?"

"This… it seems like everyone's phone is ringing…"

"What's going on? My phone has been blacked out all the time?!"

"Mine too, it's been blacked out all the time. Is this something the program team is doing?"

The audience below the stage looked at each other, pressing their phones non-stop. Everyone's attention was attracted by the phones, and no one paid attention to the stage.

The host Yang Zixiao took out his phone from his pocket and tapped the screen with his finger, but like the audience below the stage, there was no response.

"This…" Yang Zixiao looked at the director's team in confusion.

But the people on the director's team were also confused, randomly tapping their phones.

"Xiao Qiuzi, I can't open my phone either, what about yours?" Li Qingxia took his phone and put it in front of Li Chenqiu.

"My phone is out of power, I wouldn't be able to open it even if this didn't happen," Li Chenqiu shook his head, perfunctorily.

His deep eyes looked at the phone in Li Qingxia's hand, and a trace of thought flashed in his eyes.

Yan Luowang said earlier that he would kill Gong Ran's family in front of everyone. Could it be related to these blacked-out phones?

At the same time, City 11 was like being pressed the pause button.

The head-down tribe walking on the road stopped.

People eating while watching their phones put down their chopsticks.

The keyboard sounds in the internet cafes, which sounded like firecrackers, suddenly quieted down.

The LED screens on the high-rise buildings stopped playing advertisements and went black as if they were stuck.

Everything related to electronic products fell into darkness.

"Damn, why is my phone blacked out!"

"What's going on? Why did the TV go out? I just saw the climax!"

"Advancement match, damn it!"

Noisy scolding sounded from every corner of the city. The failure of electronic products made agitation spread like a plague in the city, rushing into people's nostrils and straight into their brains.

The same was true in the studio.

The audience sitting in the audience stood up and talked to each other. Zheng Kang and Ye You, who were sitting in the back, were no exception.

"What's going on?" Ye You looked at the blacked-out phone in her hand, her mind uncertain. A bad feeling rose in her heart.

"Could it be that someone is causing trouble nearby!" Zheng Kang looked around vigilantly.

Ye You instructed Zheng Kang, "I'll go take a look nearby, you stay here and keep an eye on things."

After saying that, she stood up and was about to leave when the "ding-dong" phone reminder sound rang again.

Not only Ye You's phone, but the phones of everyone else in the room were also the same.

Ding-dong… Ding-dong… Ding-dong…

"Why is it ringing again?"

"Wait, this time it's not blacked out, there are words on it!"

Li Chenqiu squinted his eyes and quietly looked at Li Qingxia's phone screen.

I saw the black screen flicker slightly, and a line of small red characters dripping with blood appeared in the center of the screen:

【Were you bullied and ostracized by your classmates during your student days】

"What's going on?"

"Is this a survey from the program team?"

"There must have been some bullying and ostracism, but they were just small frictions."

Before everyone present could react, the small red characters in the center of the screen slowly wriggled and turned into other questions.

【If bullying and ostracism escalate to beatings, what would you do】

"It looks like it's really a survey from the program team!"

"If you get beaten, you must tell your parents or teachers, and it should be properly resolved!"

"Yes, if that doesn't work, go to the Public Security Bureau, they will definitely be able to solve it."

The small red characters continued to wriggle, forming the third question.

【If the other party's social status is far higher than yours, and all the means you rely on are the other party's protective umbrella, and you don't even have the ability to decide whether to stay or leave, what should you do】

This time, everyone was silent, and no one quickly gave an answer.

"Um… that's unlikely, what era is this? How could no one care if you get beaten?"

"Yes, if no one really cares, post it on the internet, it will definitely be useful."

"That's right, how capable can a group of children be."

As the crowd's discussion grew louder, four big characters appeared on the screen: "Incorrect answer".

Immediately afterwards, all the electronic screens in City 11 suddenly flashed and simultaneously began to play a video.

In the video, a boy wearing glasses was surrounded by seven or eight people and was being ridiculed at will.

That boy was none other than Xue Rui, a student at Nanshan University who was beaten half to death earlier.

For a time, everyone was attracted by the video.

"This seems to be the noble school in City 11, the gymnasium of Nanshan University."

"Yes, my child goes to school there, this is their school's gymnasium."

"Is the doll standing in the innermost part being bullied?"

"It seems so, I feel that the others are not very friendly to him!"

On the stage, a trace of surprise flashed in Li Chenqiu's eyes, and his eyes locked on one of the boys.

He was very familiar with this person, Gong Ran's second son - Gong Xin.

Now that things have come to this, Li Chenqiu also understood whose handwriting this was. Besides Yan Luowang, who else would do such a thing?

But what he couldn't understand was, if the other party just wanted to prove his innocence, why bother so much?

Just arrest Gong Ran's family in one go, and then kill them with the means of disaster water in front of the three of Antong Division and escape, wouldn't that be good?

Although puzzled, Li Chenqiu didn't delve too deeply. He didn't care about the three seven twenty-one, as long as the final result was beneficial to him.

Time passed by every minute and every second. The people in the video gradually escalated from the initial ridicule to physical violence, and the situation became more and more serious.

"I… I… I will tell… the teacher…"

"You go sue, the Chief of the Special Energy Division is Gong Xin's father, and the Chief of the Public Security Division is a good friend of his father. Who do you want to stand up for you, you idiot!"

"Beat him, I want to see how tough this idiot can be!"

When the video played to this point, everyone's pupils trembled and they suddenly realized.

Finally understood what the "protective umbrella" in the previous third question meant!
