Forced to Date a Big Shot

Chapter 728 - Unfair

Panda Novel

The manager stared at the screen and was stunned.

On the other end of the line, the public relations manager was still asking, “What do you think of this topic? ‘Please pay more attention to your work and your private life.’ Or should we change the topic? Turn the attention on Yan Zhifeng’s case? Brother Liu, what do you think? Brother Liu?”

The manager’s words jolted him back to his senses.

He gulped and said in disbelief, “Has the draft been released?”

The public relations manager: “Not yet. Everyone in the public relations department has been woken up by me. They’re currently writing a script overnight. It will take at most half an hour to finish writing and send it out.”

The manager: “Oh, then take a look at the comments online.”

The public relations manager: “?”

The comments on the Internet were boiling.

Cen Bai was the top celebrity. As long as it involved him, he would definitely attract everyone’s attention.

Moreover, it was such a shocking topic. Moreover, there were reporters live-streaming it. Hence, even though it was late at night, the topic of #Cen Bai, Qin Shuang# and #Cen Bai’s mysterious girlfriend# quickly became trending and shot to the top three!

However, the fan reaction that the manager was worried about did not happen. At least, at this moment, the comments of these people who were not asleep were actually… a little strange?

Even the reporters’ live-stream instantly reached a climax.

“—Ah ah ah ah, I don’t believe it!”

“In that case, when Qin Shuang was in The Most Beautiful Girl and saw Cen Bai, she called him Hubby. She’s not just a love-struck fool. So it’s true? Wuwu, our husband is taking advantage of us. Her husband is declaring his sovereignty!”

“Cen Bai went on The Most Beautiful Girl because of Qin Shuang, right? I remember that Qin Shuang was very shocked when she saw Cen Bai. Ah ah ah ah, I dig this couple!”

“I don’t know why, but after the news that my idol has a girlfriend broke out, I kept wanting to stop being a fan. However, when I saw his face, I couldn’t bear to. Now that he has exposed his relationship with Qin Shuang, I suddenly feel that even though I’ve been protecting my brother since a long time ago, and I clearly know that I shouldn’t accept it, I actually feel that it’s not that hard to accept?”

“Ah ah ah ah, Brother must have exposed their relationship to protect Qin Shuang, right? For some unknown reason, I suddenly feel sad. For Brother and Qin Shuang!”

“I don’t feel sad, I just feel sour! Isn’t Qin Shuang a master at chasing celebrities? She went from being a wife-fan to a wife! Ah ah ah ah, from now on, my goal is Qin Shuang!”

“Reality has proven that other people only chase after celebrities, but our Qin Shuang is just chasing after her husband.”

“Wuwuwu, I’m suddenly touched by their beautiful love. Bai-Shuang Ship is born tonight!”

The manager was stunned when he saw these comments. He felt that something was amiss with the direction of these comments.

The public relations manager was also stunned.

To be honest, the public relations department in Cen Bai’s studio had always been a decoration. Ever since Cen Bai debuted, there had been a few incidents. Every time they planned to start handling public relations, the Internet would already be calm. The fans loved Cen Bai too much and could tolerate anything.

The manager and the public relations manager had already seen this.

However—

A top-tier superstar announcing their relationship would definitely make their fans drop, but why were Cen Bai’s fans so… weird?

It was one thing if it was just the mom-fans or the career-fans, but even his girlfriend-fans and wife-fans were very supportive!

At this moment, the comments section had already been led astray. Everyone was envious of Qin Shuang and said that she was the clear top dog among other star-chasing dogs! She was also the highest goal for all girls who chased after celebrities!

Wasn’t this… too strange?

The public relations manager once again felt that he was useless. It was as though he had accumulated all his strength and was about to welcome a huge battle, only to realize that the enemy had already shaken hands and made peace!

For a genius from the public relations department like him, staying in Cen Bai’s team was simply a waste.

The public relations manager was about to cry. “Then, Brother Liu, what should we do now?”

The manager was silent for a moment. “Why don’t you guys wash up and sleep?”

The public relations manager: “…”

The rest: “…”

The manager did not know if the public relations manager had washed up or slept, but he could forget about sleeping tonight. This was because after Cen Bai made the announcement, he got his manager to arrange accommodations for the dozen-odd fans. He then helped Cen Bai apply for leave for the production team and found a professional to remove Cen Bai’s wig, change his clothes, and remove his makeup… Because from the looks of it, Cen Bai would not go to the production team before Qin Shuang came out.

Cen Bai’s new assistant could not help but say, “Brother Liu, if we casually take leave from the production team, it will cause a loss. Didn’t the director say anything?”

The manager, who was already used to Cen Bai, sighed silently. “Of course not. Do you know why?”

The junior assistant: “Why?”

The manager said generously, “Because Mr. Cen will pay for the losses in the next few days!”

The assistant: “…”

The manager patted his shoulder. “The boss is not here to earn money. It’ll be fine when you get used to it.”

Other Best Actresses and Best Actors would pay attention to their fans. Only Cen Bai was in the entertainment industry because he purely liked it. What was the salary? Was it higher than the annual dividend from his family?

The reporters at the entrance of the police station dispersed, but the case continued.

Yan Zhifeng’s reputation was completely ruined because of this. It was impossible for Qin Shuang to have seduced him, which meant that what he said before was all lies!

He had damaged Qin Shuang’s reputation. Cen Bai’s lawyer had already pressed charges and requested for the entire case to be investigated again.

Yan Zhifeng was also detained by the special department. He and Qin Shuang were imprisoned in different interrogation rooms.

Xue Xi and Xiang Huai did not do much. That night, they found a lounge in the special department to rest for the night. Unexpectedly, when they arrived at their workplace the next day, they received bad news: Cen Bai’s lawyer had requested to bail Qin Shuang out, but he was rejected!

Xue Xi frowned. “Qin Shuang’s crime hasn’t been confirmed yet. Let’s not talk about the fact that there’s no evidence in this matter. Even if there is evidence, she will only be detained after the conviction. It’s completely in line with the investigation process!”

In order to save Fang Fang and Yu Da, she had studied the Chinese law.

Qin Shuang’s case was not a big one. As long as she could guarantee that she would not leave China, she was qualified to be held on bail.

When Jing Fei heard this, he sighed. “Sister Xi, you don’t know. China’s law is even stricter for espers. Everything has to be raised a level. In the world of espers, there is no such thing as insurance.”

Xue Xi frowned.

She had long realized that the law for espers was stricter and harsher than for that of ordinary people.

For example, if an ordinary person stole more than 1,000 yuan and less than 3,000 yuan, they would be sentenced to three years in prison. If they stole 30,000 to 100,000 yuan, they would be sentenced to ten years in prison. If they stole a huge sum, they might be sentenced to more than ten years in prison or get life imprisonment.

However, if it was an esper, those who stole more than 1,000 and less than 3,000 would be sentenced to ten years in prison. Those who stole a larger amount would be sentenced to life imprisonment.

This was just a small rule in the law of espers.

However, from this small rule, one could tell that China’s law was indeed even more unfavorable for espers!

Back then, Fang Fang’s murder case was carried out on behalf of the heavens and there was a reason behind it. If it were an ordinary person, they would most likely be sentenced to life imprisonment or another sentence reduction. However, if it was an esper, it would undoubtedly be a death sentence!

The law was set by many people and would not be changed easily.

Xue Xi pursed her lips and suddenly felt that it was unfair. She hesitated and asked in confusion, “Why is it like this?”

This time, before Jing Fei could answer, Zheng Zhi’s voice was heard. “Because espers are more capable, the corresponding obligation is greater. When espers commit crimes, they are very destructive. It’s only right to put a greater restriction on them.”

At first glance, this theory was very correct.

Xue Xi frowned.

When Cen Bai heard this, he could not help but retort, “Are espers not humans? How can you treat them so differently? Moreover, what’s the difference between Xiao Shuang and ordinary people? She can’t do any harm at all!”

Zheng Zhi frowned. “There are three people who can’t speak now. They might never be able to speak. Isn’t this harmful?”

Cen Bai was furious. Even the mole on his cheek was flashing fiercely. “You only saw those three people unable to speak, but do you know what they did? They were discussing Xiao Shuang behind her back. Their words were too nasty!”

Zheng Zhi lowered his eyes. “So, if it’s an ordinary person, they can just rush up and fight or argue. However, when Qin Shuang attacks, she can make people speechless. Those people didn’t break the law. What right does Qin Shuang have to harm them?”

Just as Cen Bai was about to say something, Zheng Zhi waved his hand. “I know that Qin Shuang is pardonable, but the law doesn’t care about favors. I also pity her. If you have the time, you can pester them here to protect her. My suggestion is that you should find a way to let those three recover their voices.”

Jing Fei also nodded. “If the three of them can’t recover their voices, Qin Shuang’s case will indeed be a little big. Even if the three of them have recovered their voices, if they can’t reach a private settlement, Qin Shuang will definitely be detained for a period of time. Of course, after the detainment, we will still let Qin Shuang join the special department.”

The scariest thing was for espers to wander outside.

Hence, the best way was to recruit the espers and have them abide by the law.

The reason why Fang Fang and Yu Da were not recruited back then was because their club’s leader was Wu Tu. Wu Tu’s identity was special and he was related to that mysterious organization. They could not easily recruit them.

Hence, Fang Fang and Yu Da had been under surveillance.

Hearing Zheng Zhi’s words, although Cen Bai was still indignant and unwilling, he could only remain silent.

Jing Fei said, “Did Fang Yi say anything else yesterday? Is she still unable to look after those three people?”

Zheng Zhi frowned. His eyes were filled with suspicion toward Fang Yi. Sister Yi had always been understanding, but he did not expect her to trip him up this time.

He looked at Xue Xi helplessly. “Perhaps Sister Yi is dissatisfied with you. Why don’t you lower your head and beg her?”

Before Xue Xi could speak, Zheng Zhi interrupted, “I know that you don’t want to admit defeat, but you do have to lower your head when you ask Sister Yi for help. Moreover, Qin Shuang is your friend. You won’t stand by and do nothing, right?”

Just as he said this, he saw Xue Xi looking at him blankly. Her dark eyes were filled with silence. After Zheng Zhi felt guilty from being stared at, he heard her say slowly, “No need. I have a way.”
