Chapter 461: Chapter 461
Shen Dang decided to sue the girl.
The girl, knowing she was about to be sued, began to sob and plead for mercy, apologizing and saying she really only did it because she liked Shen Dang too much, and that she didn’t actually harm them. She just hoped for forgiveness.
She had no idea she had broken the law.
Perhaps many people think tears are a weapon.
Women, being generally the weaker gender, this girl thought that begging and shedding tears would earn her sympathy.
After all, she was only guilty of liking someone.
Plus, she was really scared inside, so her crying was particularly abject and pitiable.
Shen Dang just looked at her coldly, "If everyone used liking me as an excuse to commit illegal acts, then what’s the use of the law?"
That was all he said.
He insisted on pressing charges.
The incident gave her a serious wake-up call. Many celebrities in the entertainment industry have encountered stalker fans. Qiao Xi had been lucky not to have met with such an incident before, but this time it had happened, and she wouldn’t condone such behavior. Otherwise, there would be a second time.
When an accident occurs, one should wield the weapon of the law and not foster such perverse and evil influences.
Shen Dang immediately arranged for someone to handle the follow-up matters on the island.
The incident was temporarily concluded.
Shen Dang and Qiao Xi returned to the hotel.
As soon as Qiao Xi returned to the hotel, she was reminded of someone hiding under her bed, and she felt uncomfortable all over.
Shen Dang wanted to switch to another room, but Qiao Xi didn’t even want to stay at this hotel.
She said to Shen Dang, "Let’s just switch to another hotel. I don’t want to stay here anymore."
Shen Dang saw her eyelashes tremble lightly for a moment.
She was obviously still shaken.
Shen Dang’s heart ached a bit, "Alright, we’ll switch to another hotel. I’m going to go up and get our luggage, wait here for me."
Qiao Xi didn’t want to go into that room either. Hearing his words, she nodded, "Okay, you go."
Shen Dang went upstairs and before long, he came back down with their luggage.
Because of what had happened, Qiao Xi’s mood had also been affected.
She felt uneasy all evening.
Shen Dang picked up on her mood. To distract her, he wrapped himself around her for a long time.
From the bathroom to the living room, then from the balcony to the bed, for several hours without a break.
Eventually, Qiao Xi was so tired she didn’t even want to move a finger, and indeed, all her bad moods were pushed to the back of her mind.
Because of this, they weren’t able to follow through with their plans for the next day.
Because she simply couldn’t get up.
Qiao Xi also lost the mood to go sightseeing and flew back to Hai City with Shen Dang in the evening.
As soon as their plane landed in Hai City, Qiao Xi’s phone rang.
It was a call from Wang Li.
Her voice was urgent, "My ancestor, I’ve been calling you several times, why didn’t you answer?"
Qiao Xi’s voice was calm and gentle, "I just got off the plane, what’s happened?"
Her lovely eyebrows and eyes carried a touch of fatigue.
Qiao Xi got into the car, and Shen Dang scooped her into his arms.
Qiao Xi, feeling lazy and reluctant to move, simply leaned against him.
Wang Li asked, "What happened to you and Boss Shen on the island? Why did you end up in the police station?"
Qiao Xi fell silent, "...Has it come out?"
"Just tell me what happened!"
She was still composed, but Wang Li was almost frantic!
Shen Dang heard Wang Li’s words and took the phone to his ear, "Hello."
Wang Li suddenly heard a man’s voice and her bluster shrank a bit.
Shen Dang’s voice was very distinctive, deep, sexy, lazy, and incredibly good to listen to.
Boss Shen’s voice, of course, Wang Li recognized it as well.
Before she even spoke, Shen Dang said coolly and indifferently, "I will take responsibility for this matter."
Then he hung up the phone.
Wang Li instantly understood his meaning.
So they’re saying, don’t disturb them, right?
With Boss Shen stepping in, there was absolutely nothing to worry about.
At that time, there were a lot of people in the hotel, the police came and took Shen Dang and Qiao Xi away along with another girl, and this event was captured and uploaded to the internet. Googlᴇ search NovᴇlFirᴇ(.)nᴇt
There were people online controlling the narrative, leading to rampant rumors and wild conjecture.
There were even comments suggesting Shen Dang was caught because of his inappropriate relations with two females.
It was truly ridiculous!
Fans, of course, didn’t believe it all.
Haters came to step on them, and the fans defended them. In any case, the incident caused a huge commotion and even hit the trending searches.
In the midst of the chaos, IDC Capital’s legal team made an appearance, revealing the police incident report and the complaint against a woman surnamed Li to counteract the false statements online, thereby publicly disclosing the stalking fan incident Shen Dang and Qiao Xi encountered on the island.
They left out the detail of the girl crawling under the bed, simply stating the girl sneaked into their room and luckily was discovered in time before any harm was done to Shen Dang and Qiao Xi.
[Stalker fans are simply too scary! Reporting to the police is the right thing to do; it will completely shut up the haters!]
[Feel bad for Boss Shen and Xi Bao.]
[Are Boss Shen and Xi Bao okay?]
[Which hotel did the incident occur in? Let everyone know so we can avoid it!]
[I’m never going on an island vacation again!]
[Wasn’t this during the filming of the show? Why isn’t the production team speaking up? @How Can I Not Be Moved Official Weibo]
This comment was obviously setting the tone.
Having invited the Movie Queen, top actress Qiao Xi and Su Tutu, plus an enigmatic outsider like Shen Dang, the show had garnered considerable attention during its promotion and frequently hit trending searches.
Competing romance shows were naturally jealous.
Now, they were stepping in, obviously trying to shift the blame to the show.
If the variety show lost its public favor, that meant a loss of viewership, and if the show flopped, it would be like having filmed for nothing.
That was the opposition’s goal.
Qiao Xi was paying attention to the online sentiment.
As soon as she got home, she posted a Weibo update: [Should the victim be blamed when a bad person makes a mistake? Boss Shen and I didn’t expect to face such a situation either; we hope everyone will be wary of dangers around them and use the law against stalker fans. Thank you for your concern, Boss Shen and I are fine.]
Fans voiced their displeasure on behalf of Qiao Xi and the production team.
[Exactly, what does this have to do with the show’s crew? The opposition is just jealous, right?]
[The haters are about to make me laugh to death.]
[Anyone else eagerly anticipating "How Can I Not Be Moved"?]
[Isn’t it just haters trying to blacken the name of the show before it even airs?]
[I want to thank the "How Can I Not Be Moved" production team for giving Boss Shen and Xi Bao the opportunity to appear together! @How Can I Not Be Moved Official Weibo]
[I just love watching Boss Shen and Xi Bao fall in love on the show; nobody come here looking for trouble!]
"How Can I Not Be Moved" hadn’t even started broadcasting, but because of the dispute between fans and haters, it climbed the trending searches again.
However, after the stalker fan incident, the following recordings of the show were kept very low-profile and leaks were prohibited online.
At the end of April, "How Can I Not Be Moved" returned to Hai City for its final episode.
Tonight was the finale.
In the city center of Hai City, also the most bustling area.
"Why did you bring me here?"
