Chapter 211 – Big Event
They have never eaten pork but they have seen a pig run.1 None of the people present have low IQ.
A man in coat fiercely rushing over, with a mask on his face and a glass bottle in his hand. This scene made everyone instantly have a terrifying mental association – sulfuric acid disfigurement!
Incidents of people splashing sulfuric acid to disfigure other’s face because of emotional disputes or other grievances wasn’t uncommon. Moreover, there were victims among entertainers in the entertainment industry. This man’s intention was already very clear.
It was because they discern the evil intention of the other party that everyone felt extra scared.
The stories that they used to see in the news were about to happen in front of their eyes. How could they not be afraid?
Therefore, whether it was those who has just stepped off the welcome stage or on the stairs, whether it was a man or a woman, almost all of them screamed in horror, involuntarily retreating backwards, trying to avoid the possible disaster.
Even if they weren’t the target, being accidentally injured still was a great disaster, and it might even ruin their future!
It was human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. In an instant, it was full of chaos, on and off the stage.
And as for Tian Tian, who was stared at by the man in coat, her mind went completely blank.
Her intuition told her that the other party was coming for her and that he was holding sulfuric acid that could cause disfigurement.
She should run away immediately!
However, Tian Tian was so shocked and scared that she froze in place. She could only watch helplessly as the other party waved his arm and splash the liquid in the glass bottle at her.
It’s over!
Tian Tian closed her eyes helplessly.
But the terrible disaster didn’t fall on her.
At this critical moment, a black suit jacket flew through in the air, just in front of Tian Tian, and caught the liquid spilled out of the glass bottle!
It was Lu Chen who saved Tian Tian.
The only person on the scene who remained calm was Lu Chen.
Just now, when the man in the coat jumped over the railing and lunged, he sensed that something was wrong.
When others retreated and moved away, Lu Chen suddenly stretched out his arms, arched his back and made a fist with both hands. The Armani suit worth more than ten thousand yuan was instantly shaken away.
This move was called Overlord’s Armor Removal2, and it was used to get away when the clothes on the body were caught by the opponent.
Lu Chen threw off his clothes because he saw that the other party wanted to hurt Tian Tian.
He definitely couldn’t use his body to block it!
Lu Chen’s reaction was extremely fast, and the use of the Overlord’s Armor Removal was also excellent. It blocked all of the liquids.
Zi ~.
The liquid spilled by the man in coat collided with the suit, and was immediately absorbed by the clothing material and fell to the ground. Under the effect of severe corrosion, it sizzled and emitted traces of white smoke.
There was a choking smell in the air.
Sure enough, it was sulfuric acid, and it was a very concentrated sulfuric acid!
If it was thrown on the face. The lightest consequence was disfigurement, while in serious cases it could end up in death.
After shaking out his suit, Lu Chen kept rushing forward, held the willow waist of Tian Tian, who was like a wooden chicken3, with his backhand, and protected her behind him.
He confronted the assailant himself!
The man in coat didn’t expect Lu Chen to suddenly show up and disrupts his plan, destroying his scheme. He was obviously stupefied. Then, he immediately drew back his hand and reached inside his pocket, trying to grab something out.
But Lu Chen moved faster. Just as his front foot fell to the ground, he lifted his back foot. He twisted his waist and kicked out with a beautiful side spin, right in the middle of the neck of the man in coat.
Bang!
Lu Chen hated the other party’s cruelty and shamelessness, so he used all of his strength and immediately kicked the man in coat down. The man hit the ground hard.
At the same time, several security personnel, who just came back to their senses, rush over and pressed the man in coat to the ground.
In fact, the latter has been knocked unconscious by Lu Chen.
Countless flashes light up. It was the reporters who responded to the scene and the onlookers who were taking pictures.
Something big has happened!
Lu Chen withdrew his kicked leg, turned to Tian Tian and said, “It’s all right.”
The host’s beautiful face was extremely pale. Her eyes were dazed. She had obviously not recovered from her state of fear, and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
Lu Chen took her hand and said with emphasis, “It’s really all right. You don’t have to be afraid…”
“Wa!”
Before Lu Chen finished speaking, Tian Tian suddenly threw herself into his arms and began to cry loudly.
All of a sudden, there was a warm fragrance and jade in his arms!4
Lu Chen: “Uh…”
He was put into a difficult situation. He wanted to push her away, but the other party held on tightly to him and he couldn’t push her forcefully.
As a result, in that moment of hesitation, it was unknown how many photos have been taken.
This was going to make a lot of noise…
Lu Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He was also a little scared.
If his reaction had been slow for half a second, the bottle of sulfuric acid would most likely been spilled on Tian Tian.
So, he could still understand the other party’s mood.
But it being held on like this wasn’t the issue!
Fortunately, Tian Tian soon came back to her senses, quickly let go of Lu Chen, and sobbed: “Thank you…”
She was really grateful to Lu Chen.
At this time, a large number of security personnel and staff rushed over, and the scene became even more chaotic.
Tian Tian’s colleagues also came to comfort her and quickly took her away from the scene.
And Lu Chen, together with other star artists, entered the stadium under the guidance of the staff.
What just happened was so scary that many people were still in shock. Even in the backstage, they didn’t even want to put on makeup to prepare for the show. Everyone took out their cell phones to make calls or send messages.
Lu Xi, who was already in the backstage, asked in surprise: “Little Chen, what happened?”
The backstage at this time was really a scene of the end of the day5!
Lu Chen said with a wry smile, “Don’t mention it…”
He told his sister what had just happened.
There was no need to hide it. It would probably not be long before the whole country knew.
The organizer has lost face!
Even if the concert could be held smoothly in the evening, it was estimated that there would be some problems.
After Lu Xi finished listening, her face turned pale and said angrily, “Your courage is too big. You dare to go up. If…”
She couldn’t even imagine the consequences if Lu Chen had an accident.
Lu Chen explained, “I can’t watch other people get killed, can I?”
In fact, Lu Chen didn’t think too much at that time. No matter who the other party was, he would step forward to help.
“That’s also…”
Lu Xi nodded: “That man is terrible.”
She was also a woman, so she understood the result of being disfigured, and sympathized with Tian Tian and hated the assailant even more.
“He should be sentenced to death!”
Lu Chen couldn’t help laughing. It was impossible to sentence him to death. It was unclear what the other party’s motive for the attack.
“Excuse me, are you Lu Chen?”
Just then, a group of people came over.
Leading the way were a handsome man and a beautiful woman, who were the two most famous artists in this concert tonight – Li Xing and Liu Zonghan!
The two were accompanied and followed by assistants, as well as several other star artists.
Everyone looked at Lu Chen with admiration in their eyes.
Lu Chen quickly stood up and said, “Hello, Sister Li and Brother Liu. I’m Lu Chen.”
Liu Zonghan was nearly 40 years old, but he maintained himself well and looked like he was in his 20s. He was handsome and somewhat mixed-race, but he was a little short.
He took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Lu Chen: “It was really thanks to you just now. Your skill is very good!”
Liu Zonghan was on the welcome stage at the time of the incident and saw the whole process clearly.
He admired Lu Chen very much.
Li Xing smiled and said, “Little Lu is very brave!”
She didn’t see the incident with her own eyes, but she was had lingering fears after listening to others.
Such a thing was terrible, and she also has a lot of crazy fans!
Lu Chen said modestly, “That’s too much praise. It was something I did on impulse6. Now I feel scared when I think about it.”
Everyone laughed and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
Li Xing said with a smile: “Little Lu is very modest. In fact, no one wants to see such a thing happen.”
“It’s just that the situation is a little troublesome now. We artists who come to perform can’t keep calm. So, I consulted with Brother Zonghan and advised everyone to keep calm and finish the performance well, otherwise it would be unfair to the audience.”
Lu Chen said: “I absolutely support it!”
With Li Xing and Liu Zonghan, these two big names, coming forward to preside over the overall situation, and with the high-level organizers also rushing over, the hearts of the people in the backstage dressing room quickly stabilized.
Before long, people from Hangzhou Municipal Government, Zhedong Satellite TV and Hangzhou police came.
As a person involved, Lu Chen also made a statement to the police.
The party was postponed for half an hour, but all the programs were put on stage.
Lu Chen came on the stage at 9:27 and sang “You Who Sat Next To Me” and “The Brightest Star In The Night Sky” respectively, which were regarded as famous works, and won warm applause from the whole audience.
Especially “You Who Sat Next To Me”, when it reached the climax of the song, many audiences also sang along.
On the whole, the process of the performance was uneventful and everything went smoothly.
But at the same time on the Internet, there was an uproar!
As there were too many onlookers on the scene, taking photos and videos, the whole process of the assault of the man in coat and Lu Chen’s interception at that time were completely filmed. Moreover, there were more than just one.
A large number of videos and photos quickly appeared in blogs, forums, post bars and QQ groups, and then spread like a virus, causing discussions from countless netizens, and all kinds of conspiracy theories emerge one after another!
Some people speculated that Tian Tian had offended people and was retaliated against. Some people vowed that the assailant was her ex-boyfriend and he threw sulfuric acid at her because of emotional disputes, but others said Tian Tian didn’t have a boyfriend at all.
In short, before the police released the results of the investigation, there were all kinds of speculations. This matter quickly became a hot topic on blogs, and many people in the entertainment industry came forward to condemn the assailant.
Without a doubt, this would be on tomorrow’s entertainment headlines.
And Lu Chen, who stepped in to the rescue, was suddenly pushed to the cusp of the storm!
