“How! How is this even possible?” Dani stared blankly at the announcement ordering his arrest and thought that he was dreaming.
“We’re…wanted by the police?”
George did not react any better either. His mouth trembled and he had no idea what expression to show on his face.
“Aghh! This is all your fault! You’re the ones who dragged me into the mire!” Mary’s face was white as a sheet, and she let out a heart-wrenching scream. She stared bitterly at Dani and George and shrieked like a mad woman. “You guys ruined me!”
All three of them were shell-shocked and mindblown.
The next moment, a quick knock on the door brought them back to their senses. A few people in police uniforms were looking at them apathetically from outside the door. The policeman then announced indifferently, “You’re under arrest!”
…
Soon, the news of Dani, George, and Mary’s arrest was made public, stirring up a storm.
Countless foreigners were left stunned.
[They’ve been arrested already? Did the authorities have to do it so quickly?]
[F*ck man. Didn’t they just make the announcement? When did they become so efficient?]
[Must be embarrassing for these 3 people. They’ve ruined the reputation of our country.]
[F*ck! Such a pity that I cursed the Chinese not long ago. I was so confident of myself but I didn’t expect that I’d be on the idiot’s side.]
[I’ll be f*cked. They’re too ruthless.]
[Hahaha, there’s no hope of escape when man courts disaster upon himself! Those three deserved it!]
[They’ve played us like a fiddle! I request heavy sentences to be handed down upon them!]
[The relevant departments probably can’t tolerate their shameless behavior anymore. This is the fastest arrest in history.]
…
Meanwhile, the Chinese felt as though they won successive battles. Many of them went to Singer Y’s Weibo to cheer and celebrate.
For them, it was a victory for China due to its perfect annihilation of the foreign music industry. The thrill they felt, especially when seeing foreigners being arrested for that, gave them a sense of accomplishment and pride that sent them over the moon.
[666666…]
[F*ck! Singer Y is ruthless as always. He threw his opponents directly in prison.]
[Hahaha, I’m so happy. I’m so happy.]
[Although the foreigners’ behavior is very shameless, they’re very efficient in arresting people. Kudos to them.]
[You look handsome posing as a lyricist, but you look so miserable when you are arrested.]
[In that case, Singer Y might probably have 100 million already! Damn, it feels good!]
[Singer Y is just awesome. He made so much money from abroad. He’s a hero!]
…
Naturally, Ye Lingchen managed to rake in another wave of trending searches. His popularity value went from the remaining eight million to 14 million and continued to grow rapidly.
Based on the trend, the incident was expected to add about 8 million popularity points to Ye Lingchen’s total, which doubled his popularity value!
Simply awesome!
After all, the news was monumental both domestically and abroad. With so many participants, that wave of gains would certainly be significant—in addition to his popularity, he also had the 100 million copyright fee!
Although Dani, George, and Mary had questionable morals, they were good people in the sense that they contributed a lot for him!
“Arrested at last. They deserve it! Thanks for helping me vent out my anger!” Dong Miaomiao’s cute little nose scrunched up and she huffed before looking curiously at Ye Lingchen. “How’d you know they’ll help you?”
Ye Lingchen smiled slightly and replied mysteriously. “I have my own tricks.”
He knew in his heart that the authorities would turn a blind eye if it was something trivial. However, when it came to Hell’s Gate, normal citizens ought to give in and there should be no violation whatsoever.
It was the biggest change history had seen and humankind’s survival was at stake. Sloppiness and negligence would not be tolerated.
Moreover, the song centered around the theme of heroes and extolled the warriors who fought against the Void Realm. It would definitely rouse public outrage internationally if the three were not arrested, and at the very least, the Warrior’s Department would certainly pursue the matter to the very end.
Ye Lingchen did not panic at all. If the three of them dared to claim the song as their own, the only comment one could say was that ignorance bred fearlessness.
Time flew by.
Ye Lingchen made investments without taking into account the costs of doing so, which led to the significantly accelerated development of Miracle Island. Funds from Wanrong Technology, Panda Streaming, Y Cosmetics, and various TV series and song copyright fees have all been invested in the construction of Miracle Island.
Elixir Pavilion’s sign had been hung up, and the font was handwritten by Ye Lingchen in an elegant, flamboyant, and domineering manner. The font was gilded, and the plaque was made of rare top-quality fragrant rosewood. The building on Miracle Island would be Elixir Pavilion’s headquarters, and it would be as equally as magnificent if other branches were set up in the future.
Although the name sounded a little like he had delusions of grandeur, Ye Lingchen believed that everyone would slowly begin to accept it heartily when Elixir Pavilion became more renowned.
The production of Canine Bane Pill had already started. Despite having employees, Thousandsprout Pharmaceutical’s manpower was still insufficient, hence the limited output. In order to balance the interest of saving lives with recruiting more people, they make preparations to supply a limited number of elixirs every day. Dong Miaomiao was given full authority to handle all operations.
Singer Y’s popularity had gradually faded in the internet, and with new topics sustaining the public’s interest, media gossip began appearing like mushrooms after a rain.
However, another group of people who were constantly keeping tabs on the internet’s trending searches were practically spending their entire day looking at their mobile phones. Rather than watching the news, they were actually looking forward to something else.
Somewhere in a hospital ward.
A middle-aged man was sitting next to the hospital bed. His eyes were red and his entire body was listless. It was clear that he had not rested for a few days and he looked as though he was on the edge of despair.
A seven or eight-year-old boy with flushed cheeks and pale lips was laying on the hospital bed. He was obviously suffering from a high fever, with his body trembling slightly while his mind was in a somewhat dazed state.
“Son, listen to me okay. Hold on. Just hold on for a few more days, okay. The rabies medicine will be released soon.” Men generally did not cry easily, but the man’s tears were streaming uncontrollably down his cheeks. “Please, just hold on…”
Behind the middle-aged man was a middle-aged woman who nearly fainted from crying and a few other relatives. The woman’s eyes were also red, and her expression was that of extreme pity and reluctance. It was none other than the little boy’s mother.
She was still muttering to herself in a daze, “What did our family do wrong? What crime did we commit that our son would have to suffer like this? Huhuhu…”
What was supposed to be a normal post-meal walk for them turned into a nightmare as a dog popped out of nowhere in the park and bit the child.
Rabies shots were useless unless done within a certain time frame, and they also proved to be ineffective if the bite was so severe that a serious infection had set in.
“Jiancheng, you haven’t closed your eyes for two days. Have some rest. Heaven will help Little Xing. Who knows, the medicine might just appear the very next moment.”
“Yes. You should sleep first, Big Brother.”
“Damn it, Miracle Doctor Y. Why does it take so long to produce a medicine? The more it is delayed, the more lives will be lost!” someone could not help but complain.
“When will the medicine hit the markets? Please let it be in time. God, please save Little Xing. “
