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

Chapter 243 A Protest Against a Small Life? Global Coverage? Are you kidding me?
The weather was clear and sunny. The days that had been shrouded in dark clouds were finally over. Shen Ming'en received a notice of "release" from the yamen runners when he woke up early that morning.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ming'en was overjoyed. Seeing the locals' reactions, he felt like saying, "We gave you a chance, but you were all useless!"

What's wrong with cleaning up graffiti and urinating in public restrooms?
So what if we sing "Slash the Japanese devils with big swords"?

You guys didn't even dare to utter a single word before releasing them, did you?
Times have changed, my friend. Let's see who the "big brother" of this continent is now!

A deep sense of pride filled Shen Ming'en's heart at this moment. He just wanted to say that it was wonderful to have a strong motherland!
After changing his clothes and retrieving his phone and other personal belongings, Shen Ming'en was completely unaware of what was happening outside. One thing he never expected was that as soon as he stepped out of the yamen gate, he saw a large, dark crowd of people at the entrance!

"protest!"

"Why should he be released unconditionally?!"

"This person insulted us, insulted our ancestors!"

"That bastard should be shot!"

"You can't be so weak and incompetent!"

At the entrance, countless people held up signs protesting, demanding that the local officials not release Shen Ming'en and that he be punished accordingly.

Shen Ming'en really wanted to laugh while watching...

To be honest, Shen Ming'en had no idea what had happened outside during the nearly one week he had been inside, but from the attitude of the middle-aged constable when he was taken away that day, it was clear that the other party certainly wouldn't dare to neglect him, and was probably afraid that the other side would be unhappy...

Upon his release, Shen Ming'en didn't think much of it; he just wanted to leave normally and avoid any high-profile behavior...

But then I saw this group of "protesters" at the door...

Shen Mingen simply adopted a very exaggerated walking posture, deliberately striking a "swaggering" pose!
Aren't you protesting?
It's not that I don't want your superiors to release me, is it?
Eh!
I'm going to swagger out here anyway!

I'm going to give you all a good beating!
"This kid is really..."

At the entrance of the yamen, at the front of the crowd, Yao Changyu, Chen Guangrong, and others who had come to pick up Shen Ming'en couldn't help but grimace at the sight.

To be honest, Shen Ming'en is a real bastard. He did so many things that others would want to do but wouldn't dare to, things that should have been considered "outrageous" by the locals. He was finally released, and most people would definitely be keeping a low profile after that...

Shen Ming'en, on the other hand, just had to act all high and mighty!

That's incredibly arrogant!

But the effect is quite obvious...

Look at those crazy, boastful people living their lives nearby...

They came today because they were unhappy about the news of Shen Mingen's release, so they came to protest. But when they saw Shen Mingen swaggering out of there with a smug look on his face, their anger burned even more!

"Ahhhh!!!"

"idiot!"

"Bagya Road!"

"Don't stop me, I'm going to fight him!"

"The spirit of Bushido: If you've got the guts, give it a shot!"

"I request a one-on-one duel with Shen Ming'en! Let him experience the spirit of our Bushido!"

"I want to stand up for everyone; we can't let this person continue to be so arrogant!"

"Since the higher-ups aren't going to do it, then we'll do it ourselves!"

……

Instead of panicking, Shen Ming'en called out to the middle-aged constable beside him, "Make sure to protect me..."

The middle-aged constable couldn't understand what Shen Ming'en was saying at all, but in fact, even without Shen Ming'en saying it, he had to protect Shen Ming'en!

Regarding Shen Mingen's matter, their superiors have already agreed to release him and "extra him back to China." If something happens to Shen Mingen here, their superiors certainly won't be able to explain it to Shen Mingen's family. If they blame him, it will definitely be his fault...

So the middle-aged constable didn't hesitate at all and immediately dispatched all his elite troops!
The group of thugs at the scene were initially looking for trouble, some even brandishing knives and sticks, seemingly eager to kill Shen Ming'en as soon as he came out...

Before they could even unleash their power, a group of constables wielding batons rushed out!
Without hesitation, they rushed forward and "forcibly suppressed" anyone who had a weapon in hand!
Anyone with weapons must hand them over!
Revolt?

Do you know what "six strikes in one second" means?!

Almost every one of these young people who came to "protest" endured six or seven blows before uttering a sound. It wasn't because they had backbone, nor because they could withstand a beating, but because the local yamen runners could deliver six or seven blows in a second!
What we need is a forceful crackdown!
At first, the area in front of the government office was quite chaotic...

As a result, six or seven blows were delivered in that second, directly suppressing a large area!

Those who remained, even those who didn't run away, didn't dare to cause any more trouble.

"That's really ruthless..."

Seeing this scene, even Shen Ming'en couldn't help but feel emotional. To be honest, at this moment, Shen Ming'en felt a sense of "status" that his people had in our country decades ago.

Do you even know what "great powers" means?!
Now, who should be calling whom a "great power"?
After dispersing the troublemakers, the middle-aged yamen runner dared to bring Shen Ming'en out of the yamen and hand him over to Yao Changyu, Chen Guangrong and others who came to pick him up.

In the crowd, Yao Shuli, who looked very elegant in a gray trench coat, stood out. Her "striking" appearance was not only due to her beauty, but also to her slightly reddened eyes.

Perhaps due to her upbringing, Yao Shuli has a strong personality, so even when she is busy with work or feeling unwell, she rarely cries...

Even though Shen Mingen was in this predicament, and she rushed over to help him these past few days, he never shed a tear.

Picking up Shen Mingen today was supposed to be a happy occasion, but for some reason, the moment Yao Shuli saw him, tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably...

More than anything, it's heartache...

Because of the staff, she and Shen Mingen didn't see each other often, so it was definitely not the kind of emotional reunion that comes from being apart for so long. But this time, Yao Shuli felt as if several years had passed since they parted.

In this foreign land, she always felt that Shen Mingen was "suffering" inside.

Autumn has arrived, and the maple leaves on the trees have begun to turn crimson and have left the branches, fluttering in the wind. A few of them have drifted onto Yao Shuli's head, as if they were pinning a very unique hair clip to her head.

Why did you come here?

Shen Mingen was a little surprised when he saw Yao Shuli. In front of everyone, he reached out and helped Yao Shuli remove the leaves from her head.

They didn't do anything intimate, like kissing, hugging, or lifting each other up, but the emotions in their eyes were incredibly genuine.

I was worried about you...

Yao Shuli's voice was a little hoarse and nasal, clearly indicating that she had a cold. Perhaps because she felt sorry for Shen Mingen, there was also a hint of a sob in her voice.

The autumn wind blows fallen leaves, and it also brings sorrow. Rather than saying that Yao Shuli is worried about Shen Ming'en, it would be more accurate to say that Yao Shuli is even more pitiful.

Glancing at the grinning middle-aged constables behind her, Yao Shuli couldn't help but ask, "They didn't do anything to you, did they?"

"them?"

Shen Ming'en also turned around and glanced at the middle-aged yamen runner, and couldn't help but laugh:
"They have to dare!"

During the past few days inside, Shen Mingen not only didn't suffer any hardship or pain, but was also well taken care of with good food and drink. Yao Shuli didn't say anything, but simply raised her fair and delicate hand and touched Shen Mingen's face. Shen Mingen hadn't shaved or washed his hair during these past few days, so he looked a bit unkempt and his face was a little oily. So, at first, Shen Mingen didn't want Yao Shuli to touch him, but when her hand touched his face, Shen Mingen only felt a bone-chilling coldness.

That cool sensation, like mint, banished all other thoughts from Shen Ming'en's mind...

"You caught a cold?" Shen Ming'en tenderly cupped Yao Shuli's hands in his arms. "It's nothing serious, why did you have to come all this way..."

The way the two greeted each other after being separated for so long seemed relaxed, but it contained real emotions. To be honest, Chen Guangrong and the others watching felt a little nauseous, but also somewhat envious of the pure love between these young people.

Everything was peaceful and serene at first...

But it was at this moment...

"Ahhh! Ming En-san!"

not far away……

With a scream, a lively and agile figure, as if ready, darted out carrying a bouquet of flowers and headed straight for Shen Ming'en.

She was about to throw herself into Shen Ming'en's arms...

"stop!"

Shen Ming'en raised his hand and pressed it against her forehead...

Poor Hoshino Rin, she failed to achieve her goal and was instead pinned to the spot by Shen Ming'en, unable to make any progress despite her frantic attempts to attack.

The scene was somewhat awkward, but fortunately, Hoshino Rin hadn't come empty-handed. She shoved a handful of flowers into Shen Ming'en's hands and said in broken Chinese:

"Congratulations on your release from prison! These are flowers I bought for you, please accept them!"

"...Why the hell did you buy me flowers for no reason?" Shen Ming'en's forehead was covered in black lines as he gritted his teeth and said, "Besides, I was only arrested and detained in a detention center, I didn't go to jail, what the hell do you mean by 'released from prison'?!"

and also……

Your girlfriend is right here, do you realize how easily this could lead to misunderstandings?!
Shen Ming'en could clearly see the mockery in Hoshino Rin's eyes...

It was intentional, this woman did it on purpose!

She clearly recognized Yao Shuli, but when she noticed Yao Shuli, a strange glint flashed in her eyes as she said with amusement, "Who is this, Ming En-san? Kawaii~"

At that moment, Shen Ming'en clearly sensed that Yao Shuli, who was originally gentle, had a murderous look in her eyes. Although her expression did not change and she was still smiling, she gave people a chilling feeling.

The opera singer goddess remained unfazed, smiling as she countered Shen Ming'en's question: "...Who is she?"

"emmm..."

Shen Ming'en didn't know how to explain for a moment, and looked pleadingly at Chen Guangrong and the others in the crowd...

Teacher Chen, that old bastard, used to care a lot about Shen Ming'en, but now he acts like nothing happened, not even glancing at Shen Ming'en...

The others also adopted a "not my problem" attitude, as if to say, "You're on your own."

Shen Ming'en is giving me a real headache...

Finally, having no other choice, he turned his gaze to Yao Changyu at the back of the crowd.

Although they were in the same theater troupe, Shen Ming'en and Yao Changyu hadn't met many times and hadn't had a chance to greet each other. At most, they were just nodding acquaintances...

Faced with Shen Mingen's pleading gaze, Master Yao was a little bewildered, but he didn't intend to "start by offering help." What kind of father-in-law would help his son-in-law explain that he was having an affair with another woman? Doesn't he have any pride?
Then, like Chen Guangrong and the others, he pretended nothing had happened...

"I...you..."

Shen Ming'en's forehead was covered in black lines.

The piercing gaze beside him remained sharp, like a biting winter wind. Shen Ming'en grinned, thinking to himself, "Fine, you old bastard, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Don't ask me about that..." Shen Ming'en pointed at Yao Changyu and Chen Guangrong and said, "They were arranged by the troupe and have been following us all the way. I don't know who arranged for them to come in or who allowed them to stay by our side."

It would have been better if he hadn't said that, but once he did...

Yao Changyu: "???"

Chen Guangrong: "???"

These old guys were completely dumbfounded!

Before they could react, Yao Shuli's smiling face and icy gaze shifted from Shen Ming'en and landed precisely on them.

To be precise, it fell on Yao Changyu.

Along the way, Yao Changyu failed to protect Shen Mingen properly and even had someone plant a "honey trap" around Shen Mingen...

you say!

How could Yao Shuli not settle accounts with her father?

"No, Ah Li, you..."

Even the Peking Opera master Yao Changyu was momentarily speechless.

Coincidentally, Shen Ming'en happened to give him a look that said "I can't help you".

Yao Changyu was so angry!
How dare you!

You heartless brat, I shouldn't have saved you!

……

After the little farce, Shen Ming'en got into the car with everyone and didn't stop for the rest of the way. Yao Shuli had packed his things from the hotel in advance and brought them with him. He was now heading straight to the airport to catch a flight back to China as soon as possible.

Although the local authorities have granted his release, public anger in the area is still very high, and he can't just find someone to protect him anywhere. There's a risk that someone might try to ambush or shoot him, just like they did on stage that day...

Every second you stay here increases the danger.

Poor Shen Mingen, this was his first appearance at the airport since the scandal. He hadn't washed his hair or shaved, and appeared in the eyes of the Chinese entertainment industry in an extremely slovenly manner.

However, at this moment, no one would underestimate him.

At that moment, in everyone's eyes, he was a Chinese citizen worthy of admiration!
He did what countless people wanted to do but dared not do, and he vented his anger on behalf of the Chinese people and his ancestors!

After today, no one will be able to stand in his way!

Those forms of capital won't work either!
And it was under these circumstances...

Shen Ming'en's new variety show, "Sparkling Melody," is also rumored to be "about to premiere."
