A lot of people online felt nervous.
They knew that a celebrity feared this sort of incident the most. The haters could hold onto the dirt they had on him and spread it like wildfire. It would eventually be sensationalized.
They were too fanatical!
If Ye Lingchen was banned because of this incident, who else would dare stand up when their countrymen faced unfair treatment? Would that not imply that Chinese people were of a lower class, lesser than those from the Stick Nation?
What about their national pride?
Those die-hard fans were harming the country, voluntarily slaving themselves!
Ye Lingchen did not pay any attention to the debates happening online and stayed ignorant toward the matter. However, his lack of following did not mean that others would not follow the incident, especially Capital University, Capital City Police Department official site, and Capital City Basketball Association that just received condemnation from netizens.
Capital University did not offer any response at first. They waited until the issue had developed further before posting a few pictures on the university’s official website.
Those pictures were Ye Lingchen’s academic records in university!
The first was his admission to Capital University as the top scorer of the National College Entrance Exam.
Following that was him winning first place in the National Mathematics Competition for Capital University. The university had even made a special note of his exceptional talent for mathematics!
The remainder were his semester test results!
Beneath the pictures followed a response from Capital University.
[Perhaps everyone had only heard of Student Ye Lingchen’s achievements in basketball. However, he is exceptional in every subject. Moreover, he is well received by lecturers and students alike. Capital University is China’s university; not a university of the Stick Nation. We do not know who Hyun-Min Kim is, but we understand that he has mocked our nation. Student Ye Lingchen’s actions are understandable.]
They were obviously taking his side and were just shy of cheering him on!
That response naturally won the cheers of many, but their attention was soon shifted, stunned by the results Capital University put on display.
[That’s embarrassing. I never knew that God Ye was a curve breaker.]
[So scary! Any one of the achievements here is worthy of praise from slackers like us.]
[F*ck! Just when I thought God Ye is only talented in basketball, he performed crosstalk. Then when I thought that was everything, he showed his aptitude in Kungfu. Now you’re telling me he’s also a curve breaker?]
[That’s amazing. Please enlighten us on how you managed to maintain your studies while being so good at basketball?]
[F*ck! Top scorer of National College Entrance Exam, first place in mathematics competition, and now full marks for his finals. Where did this monster come from?]
[With a talent like this, so what if he assaulted Hyun-Min Kim? What about it?! Are we supposed to pick on our country’s exceptional talent? What a joke!]
Of course, there were also jealous haters.
[Tsk, so what if he’s amazing? Such a barbarian!]
[This type of person is the most dangerous. An intelligent criminal!]
[I suggest locking him up for life.]
Not long after Capital University’s response, the Capital City Basketball Association made an announcement as well.
[Ye Lingchen defeated the Stick Nation on the basketball court. We believe he would also defeat the Stick Nation in terms of civility! He did not let China down, and China will not let him down! You want us to expel him? No way!]
[F*ck! Savage!]
[That sass is what I like best!]
[He did not let China down, and China will not let him down! Well said! I’ll have to give the basketball association a like!]
[That’s right, Ye Lingchen defeated the Stick Nation on the basketball court. If he loses his public opinion in our country, that would really be the joke of the century!]
[God Ye has my unconditional support! To h*ll with those die-hard fans!]
[Dear die-hard fans, please change your nationality and stop embarrassing your motherland!]
Capital University and the Capital City Basketball Association’s responses were greatly motivational, providing great emotional support to everyone.
Finally, they waited for the Capital City Police Department’s response!
Their response would be the most authoritative as it would directly affect the punishment Ye Lingchen had to face.
However, the Capital City Police Department’s official site remained silent for a long time, leading to many speculating if they were debating on how to manage the incident.
Everyone’s heart was racing.
Meanwhile, the die-hard fans were filled with enthusiasm. They felt that Ye Lingchen would be charged with battery and would at least be jailed for half a month. That would greatly affect his future!
‘This is what happens if you bully our husband!’
While all that was happening, the Stick Nation’s entertainment headquarter’s official site made an announcement.
[Hyun-Min Kim is a public figure of the Stick Nation and suffered unfair treatment in China’s entertainment industry. We hope that China’s entertainment industry will investigate the matter and give us a proper explanation!]
That announcement immediately pushed Ye Lingchen to the forefront. At the same time, it triggered an explosive public debate, shocking countless people.
[F*ck, it seems this incident won’t end well!]
[Ye Lingchen is doomed! Wahahaha, this is great!]
[Support my husband Hyun-Min, punish Ye Lingchen.]
[You obstinate fans, please wake up! The Stick Nation’s entertainment industry is picking on God Ye!]
[God Ye defeated Stick Nation’s basketball team and the nation is still holding a grudge. They’re using this as an excuse to have him expelled. If that happened, are you going to fill his spot?]
[Hey, Stick Nation’s entertainment industry, get out of China!]
Capital City Police Department.
Although it was the first day of Chinese New Year, the entire station was busier than ever before as the staff were all called in for overtime.
“Netizens are still at it. If we don’t give them a proper response, they will definitely riot all the way here.”
“No sh*t sherlock. In my opinion, Hyun-Min Kim deserved it! It’s just poisoning the country for someone like him to disrespect the nation and still profit off us.”
“That’s right. My niece is just in the second year of elementary school, yet she’s chasing after Stick Nation’s celebrities, with her mind filled with ‘Oppas’ and only knows how to ask the family for money in order to support her idol. She would even have arguments with her family members, driving her mother to tears. It’s so worrying.”
“The Stick Nation’s trends bring us much harm, ruining our Chinese culture!”
“I wonder how the chief would settle this matter.”
At the same time, in the chief’s office…
Their chief was trembling as he answered the phone. The call was from the Capital University’s principal.
“Teacher, you’re looking for me?”
“Ye Lingchen should be in your station, right? I’ll have you know that he’s a student at Capital University. In other words, you’re his senior. He did not dishonor the country. How do you plan to settle this matter?”
“Teacher, that kid was already released by someone else. We have no authority to take part in this matter.”
“Released?” The principal was surprised. “Well, there’s nothing then. Serve the people well!”
Right as the call ended, the phone started ringing again.
After taking a look at the caller ID, a forced smile appeared on his face. It was Bureau Chief Fang from the Sports Bureau…
