After offending capital, my songs became more and more popular.

Chapter 242 My Mother's Method: My Child Is Not Your Place to Punish?
The third day, the fifth day...

As time went on, news about Shen Ming'en was being discussed wildly by countless people on social media in both countries. Both sides held their own opinions and remained deadlocked. The heat did not decrease with the passage of time, but instead intensified.

Perhaps because Shen Mingen was involved in so many things, the Little Life team did not disclose his situation inside, and even visits from those close to him were not allowed...

This resulted in Yao Shuli not even having met Shen Ming'en's face, even though she had been in Japan for two or three days.

To be honest, Yao Shuli was very worried...

If Shen Mingen had committed any other offense, it wouldn't matter if he were imprisoned. Even if we had a lot of guts, legal citizens holding our country's passports wouldn't dare to touch Shen Mingen.

But who could blame them when Shen Mingen did things that were so infuriating to Xiao Ri?
It's hard to guarantee that some low-level officials within the government won't hold a grudge against Shen Ming'en and subject him to some harsh treatment.

Therefore, Yao Shuli, Chen Guangrong and others have been going to the local government office and occasionally the embassy whenever they have free time these past two days, all so that Shen Mingen will not be subjected to inhumane treatment while he is detained.

……

"Pattering..."

Whether it was because it was the rainy season or something else, there had been a lot of rain in the area these past few days. Yao Shuli, who had just returned from the local government office, was stuck in traffic. Sitting in the back seat, she watched the raindrops pattering against the windshield. Her fair and delicate face, reflected in the rearview mirror, was filled with worry.

Since arriving at Xiao Rizi, Yao Shuli's brows have never relaxed. Her delicate face, combined with this expression, inexplicably added a touch of aloofness to her.

"Sister A-Li..."

Luo Luo, Yao Shuli's assistant who had an itchy nose, poured her a glass of water using the lid of a thermos and handed it to her, then said:
"Take care of yourself too. Your cold isn't better yet, so don't run around every day."

On the day of her arrival, perhaps due to the temperature difference, Yao Shuli caught the flu and developed a fever that night, reaching a high of over 39 degrees Celsius. She was shivering in bed, but the next day she still got up before dawn and went with Chen Guangrong to the local government office to see Shen Ming'en.

After running around for two or three days, her face turned sallow, and she didn't have time to take care of her health...

Yao Shuli pursed her lips, took the water glass and took a sip. She didn't say a word the whole time, and there was no smile on her face.

"Ugh……"

Seeing this, Mr. Chen Guangrong, who was driving, couldn't help but sigh silently, thinking to himself that the kid was really lucky; it was rare to find someone so sincere in their circle...

Hopefully, this guy survives this ordeal; otherwise, he'll truly be unlucky to have such a wonderful girl.

While expressing his feelings, Teacher Chen Guangrong couldn't help but complain, thinking to himself, "Damn it, this life is really pathetic. Why do they have to make driving on the right side of the road when they have nothing better to do?"

Having gotten used to driving on the left in China, even with an international driving license, Chen Guangrong often finds it really hard to adjust to driving on the right.

"Teacher Yao sent a message..."

Inside the car, in the back seat, a staff member broke the silence that had been filling the car during the traffic jam.

Upon hearing this, Yao Shuli, Chen Guangrong, and everyone else turned to look at the staff member...

Yao Changyu went to the embassy again today, saying that he would give a general reply today. They have been waiting for news from the embassy.

"How is it?" Since there was a traffic jam anyway, Chen Guangrong didn't even look at the road and just turned around to ask the man.

"They said we should all go back and discuss it further when we get back," the staff member replied.

"...Old Yao, he just loves to keep things mysterious!" Chen Guangrong couldn't help but complain upon hearing this.

Yao Shuli pursed her lips and said only, "Uncle Chen, drive faster."

She was always anxious about things related to Shen Mingen, and Chen Guangrong understood. But now there was a traffic jam, and Chen Guangrong thought to himself that he couldn't very well fly over there.
This father and daughter are really interesting. One doesn't say anything directly, and the other, even when anxious, doesn't call to ask directly, but instead does what her father asks...

They are all talents!

It was already dark when they arrived at the hotel. As soon as the car stopped, Yao Shuli eagerly opened the door, ran into the hotel, took the elevator, and headed straight for the room where they usually discussed matters.

That room used to be where the troupe leader Zhao Qu lived. But Zhao Qu went back to China to be investigated, didn't he?
At first, no one knew whether he would come back or not, so they didn't cancel the room reservation. Later, when Shen Ming'en had his accident, they often came over to discuss things, so they simply kept the room.

It's worth mentioning that, according to Yao Changyu's acquaintances in China, Zhao Qu's BYD incident seems to be quite serious, and he should receive severe punishment.

Originally, the matter of changing the song for "Red Dress" would have been insignificant, but the key issue is that Shen Ming'en then went on to do other things, such as urinating in a clean toilet, graffitiing, and singing "The Big Sword Cuts Down on the Heads of the Japanese Devils"...

The locations for the dispersed performances were designated by Zhao Qu, so Yao Changyu and Chen Guangrong naturally took this opportunity to impeach him. As the head of the troupe, he was supposed to take responsibility anyway, but now he was directly held primarily responsible.

I reckon even if he doesn't lose his job, he'll at least be demoted...

Well, I've gone a bit off-topic, but I'll leave it at that.

When Yao Shuli, Chen Guangrong, and the others returned, weary from their journey, they found Yao Changyu chatting with several theater troupe staff members. Occasionally, a smile could be seen on the latter's face during their conversation. The atmosphere in the room was relaxed and pleasant, not tense at all…

When Yao Shuli, Chen Guangrong and the others saw this scene, they were overjoyed, thinking that something good must have happened.
"How's it going?" Chen Guangrong asked Yao Changyu. "What did the embassy say?"

In fact, the embassy has always told them to rest assured that their mother would definitely not mistreat Shen Ming'en and would not let such a patriotic person down. But frankly, it was all just hints, without saying a single concrete word.

Every time he came back in the past, Yao Changyu would have a long face. Although he didn't complain, you could tell he wasn't very comfortable...

But today seems... a little different?

Yao Shuli's beautiful eyes also turned to her father, staring at him intently without looking away.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Yao Changyu couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head. Especially when he saw his daughter's appearance, he wondered if it was him instead of Shen Mingen who was arrested by the authorities today, would his daughter be so worried?

He's lost all his confidence...

"Forget it, this isn't the time to dwell on these things," Yao Changyu waved his hand, and without further ado, said:

"Meet me at the yamen gate at 9 a.m. tomorrow."

The words fell...

Chen Guangrong and the others were taken aback at first.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, they all involuntarily broke into happy smiles!

"call……"

Yao Shuli and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief...

It's all alright now...

However, she couldn't help but think that the matter had escalated so much, with local residents expressing their discontent and saying things like, "If Shen Ming'en is released like last time, we'll march in the streets to protest..."

If they were to release Shen Mingen directly, just like the night he cleaned up the graffiti in the toilet and urinated there, wouldn't the local people have complaints?
This question wasn't just on Yao Shuli's mind; everyone else was curious about it too...

The news that "Shen Ming'en is about to be released" may not be good news for ordinary people, but for us, it is definitely something that helps to enhance national pride and national unity!

Therefore, Mom reported on this matter immediately!
The news about Shen Mingen had been discussed online for the past few days as the "biggest gossip of the year," and it was at its peak when the news of Shen Mingen's impending release came out, causing an uproar among netizens!
【Zun Du is fake!】

[They were just released like that?]

[As expected of our mom!]

I knew Mom wouldn't let any patriotic person down!

When Mom takes action, she never lets anyone down!

【It's not like they're asking for a break, do you think they dare not?!】 【Our mom has plenty of ways to deal with them!】

[Pfft... Just got here from the official report next door, and all I can say is that Mom's performance this game was truly amazing, absolutely incredible!]

……

Perhaps this event was so capable of arousing national pride among Chinese people that almost every major official media outlet reported on and reposted it, making it an instant sensation...

The first thought that comes to mind for all Chinese people is happiness!

There was a time when our country suffered greatly from the invasion of foreign powers, including the hawks and the oppressors. Back then, they swaggered across our land, wantonly bullying our people. Even if they killed people, it seemed we couldn't confront them, as if they were the nobles and we were the slaves...

At that time, many people dared not resist, after all, their country was rich and powerful, while ours was weak and feeble.

now……

As a Chinese citizen, to do something so "serious" and "outrageous" to the locals abroad, even to the point of practically pointing my finger at them and cursing them...

But they never dared to do anything to us again.

Now, who are the nobles and who are the slaves?

Now, who's running wild on whose territory?
Do you really think we're still like we were decades ago, being bullied by you?

You should be secretly pleased that you haven't avenged the national and personal grievances of yesteryear, and you even dare to try and punish our people on your own turf... You've got some nerve!
Countless bloggers frantically forwarded related messages, analyzed and dissected them, further enhancing national pride!

But at the same time……

Some netizens couldn't help but be curious...

So, with the matter escalating to such an extent, aren't the locals afraid that their people will actually protest?

On this point...

All citizens really have to admire our mother's "skill".

Although the vast majority of people online are shouting for "unconditional release of Shen Ming'en, just like the unconditional surrender back then," our mother certainly won't be as hostile as the public...

My mother has always been primarily tolerant.

So when Mom was "negotiating" with Xiao Rizi's side, she made it clear that Shen Ming'en had a problem, a really big problem. What he did this time was absolutely wrong. You're right, he absolutely needs to be punished and sanctioned!

But then again…

Whose child is Shen Ming'en?

It's from my family!

Even if my child does something wrong, does it give you the right to punish or sanction him?

If your own child does something wrong, you'll definitely take him home and discipline him strictly so he won't be so naughty in the future. Even if you don't care about the monk, you should at least care about the Buddha, right?

To put it bluntly, why are you arguing with a child? Don't you have any shame?
When the other party heard this, they thought, "Damn, it seems to make sense, huh?"

After a series of negotiations, Xiao Rizi finally made a decision.

That is, listen to our opinion, release Shen Ming'en, and then extradite him back to China so that he can return to China to receive "punishment".

Will Mom really punish me?

Of course they'll give it to us!
But it was this "punishment" that almost made countless citizens burst out laughing...

Mom said there will be punishment...

Since it's a punishment, it must be based on Shen Ming'en's "actions".

So what did Shen Mingen do?

It's really nothing more than graffiti and urination in the toilet.

So what category does this belong to?
It falls under the category of "graffiti and urination in a public place".

According to Chinese law, this definitely violates the relevant urban sanitation and environmental management regulations.

So how should it be punished?
According to the "Regulations on Urban Appearance and Environmental Sanitation Management", no unit or individual may write or carve on urban buildings, facilities or trees, or urinate or defecate indiscriminately. Those who violate the regulations will be ordered by the relevant departments to correct their illegal behavior and take remedial measures, and may also be given a warning or fined.

Shen Ming'en's graffiti and urination at the Jingguo Sacred Toilet were so egregious that the area had already cleaned them up the very next morning, so Shen Ming'en naturally didn't need to go back to do any "remedial measures."

What's left?
That leaves only "warnings" and "fines"!

Considering that Shen Ming'en is a first-time offender, this time it will definitely be a "verbal warning" followed by a fine...

According to our country's laws, even if his behavior is serious, he will only be detained for up to ten days and fined up to 500 yuan.

His case isn't serious, so we'll definitely handle it as a minor offense...

And so in the end...

Our mother gave Shen Ming'en a verbal warning and a fine of two hundred yuan.

When I learned of this...

【puff……】

I wonder how many people burst out laughing!

Wow! Absolutely brilliant!

All I can say is, she's truly my mom!

In these matters, Mom always uses the most skillful methods to humiliate people!

Hahaha... those bastards are probably furious now!

【What's there to be angry about? They wanted tape, and Mom gave them tape. They were punished as requested, so what reason do they have to be angry?】

[Shen Ming'en's only offense was graffitiing and urinating on public facilities, so what else could it be?]

[Pfft... Don't think Mom didn't mention "The Red-Haired Girl" and "The Big Sword Slashes at the Heads of the Japanese Devils" at all. Apparently, the younger generation brought it up, and Mom only said one thing: "Praising history is fine."]

[Zun Du is fake Du, hahaha...]

……

This game was absolutely awesome!

Tomorrow will be the day Emperor Ming'en returns to his throne!
