Chapter 948: Seeking Justice
At that moment, the relevant executives of the television station and the person-in-charge of the gala were waiting anxiously at the door. They were so worried that their heads were going bald. They were afraid that they would be implicated because of this matter and worried that they would lose their positions would not be guaranteed.
Thankfully, nothing serious had happened to her. If something had really happened, based on Ling Sheng’s status as Best Actor Huo and Best Actress Nangong’s daughter, their television station would not have been able to bear the consequences.
However, how had Si Chengluo known that an accident would happen on the stage? Why had he rushed up to save Ling Sheng? It was not that they liked conspiracy theories, but the situation was really unbelievable.
Chen Nan quickly came out to explain. He said that when Si Chengluo was watching the live-stream backstage, he had discovered that the frame on the stage had loosened. He remembered that in the past, a senior singer from Country H had also been in a similar accident. He had been crushed and died on the spot.
The news back then had also been dug out by the media. That incident had happened three years ago, not very long ago. Si Chengluo had been present as a backup dancer. One of the backup dancers with him had even been injured.
As the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy. That was also why he became extremely worried when he saw the safety hazards on stage. He rushed out because he was afraid something bad would happen.
“Our Luo Luo is a warm-hearted child. Ling Sheng is also a senior sister in the same company. They have a pretty good relationship, so he got anxious. I hope you can forgive his impulsive action,” Chen Nan stated as he looked at them.
Actually, Luo Luo hadn’t been watching any live-stream. He had been busy with commercials for two days. After putting on makeup, he had fallen asleep on a chair. He had rushed out after shocking himself awake suddenly. As for what Luo Luo had asked him to say, when the stage malfunction three years ago was linked to the current situation, it was just a coincidence.
The television station had not expected him to be so calm and reasonable. He did not throw a tantrum or scold anyone. They had thought of a countermeasure in an emergency meeting and had prepared a person to be the public’s punching bag. They temporarily found a worker who had put the stage together, but didn’t use him in the end either. After apologizing, he said that he would definitely give the public a satisfactory answer.
Putting aside the fact that Chen Nan’s reason had several degrees of credibility, they were the first ones to be held accountable when a mishap happened on stage, not to mention how the celebrity was. They had to take full responsibility. No one on the scene wanted to lose their jobs because of this incident. It would be best if they could keep the peace.
After Chen Nan left, only Nangong Lengyu, Ling Sheng, and Si Chengluo were left in the lounge.
Nangong Lengyu looked at Si Chengluo with a grave expression. “Luo Luo, how did you know something would happen on the stage? Don’t use what you said to Chen Nan to dismiss me. I don’t believe it.”
How could there be such a coincidence? His words could not withstand scrutiny. Who would take such a big risk to rush to the live-streaming stage for something that had not happened yet?!
That stage was broadcasted live. It was a large-scale stage of an evening gala that could be seen by audiences from all over the country and the entire world. . What if nothing had happened? If he had barged in like so, it would also be a major stage accident. One could imagine the impact it would have on his future road to stardom.
“I dreamed it.” Si Chengluo did not dare lie to her. From the corner of his eye, he looked at Ling Sheng. “I dreamed that the scaffolding on the stage fell and smashed her.”
Nangong Lengyu’s expression was a little complicated. She did not know how to express her current emotions. She only found it somewhat ridiculous. “So you rushed up?”
Si Chengluo nodded. “The dream was very real. It was too real. I was scared. I lost my head back then and wasn’t thinking of anything.”
Nangong Lengyu was grateful that he had saved her daughter and she would make it up to him in the future. He would not lack resources. It would not even be a problem to make him a world superstar. In fact, she definitely would not be stingy with anything he wanted as long as she could give it to him. However, he could not lie to her. “Luo Luo, tell me the truth.”
Si Chengluo looked at her seriously. “I’m telling the truth.”
Nangong Lengyu felt frustrated by his words. “You just had a dream and you rushed right up? Do you think I’ll believe you? How do you want me to believe it? Don’t you think it’s ridiculous yourself?”
Ling Sheng looked at her mother, raised her hand, and said earnestly and confidently, “Mom, I believe him. I believe he won’t lie.”
Si Chengluo definitely wasn’t lying. However, was this a prophetic dream? It had really happened. From the stage to the present, she had been in a bit of a trance. Only at this moment did she truly feel fear and lingering dread.
If Si Chengluo had not rushed forward, she would be a pile of flesh and blood squashed under the scaffolding frame now. Just the thought of it terrified her.
Si Chengluo had not expected her to speak up for him. His eyes lit up abruptly, and his heart filled with satisfaction and delight. He looked at her and said, “I’ve been telling the truth anyway.”
Ling Sheng nodded and expressed her sincere, heartfelt grat.i.tude again. “I understand. Thank you!”
Si Chengluo was very arrogant. His lips curled up very slightly. “You don’t have to thank me. I made the decision myself.”
Nangong Lengyu looked at the duo. She knew that the duo had been involved in a scandal before, but she had not asked Sheng Sheng about it either. After all, Sheng Sheng liked Third Master Jun. She knew that. However, when she saw Si Chengluo’s expression at this moment, why did she feel that he was interested in Sheng Sheng?
Was he interested because he liked her? It was not particularly accurate. Anyway, there was an indescribable sense of harmony between the two of them.
“Oh…” Ling Sheng drawled in response. Upon seeing the little brother’s secretly delighted expression, she thought, Is it really appropriate for you to be so tsundere, Little Brother?
There was already an uproar on Weibo. Ever since it had been upgraded, the site didn’t crash even during the self-disclosure of the Best Actor and Best Actress. This time, it hung. The number of visitors had exploded, and it had been blocked so no one could enter.
With such a major accident happening on the stage, the television station’s will to live was strong. They immediately apologized, posted a reflection article, and formed a team to investigate the truth. A moment later, they were scolded so harshly that they got on the trending topic.
This concerned a human life. What was the d*mn point of apologizing? It was the same as saying that ‘I didn’t do it on purpose’ after killing someone! Could this matter be f*cking let go?
The people who attacked the Beijing Television Station’s Weibo apology were mainly divided into four groups: Si Chengluo’s Little Fairies, Ling Sheng’s Little Peanuts, Nangong Lengyu’s Cold Palace fans, and Huo Ci’s Little Cis.
Si Chengluo’s fans were mainly distressed about their baby. Their baby was even injured! Anyway, no matter what the station said, they were not through with the Beijing Television Station!
There were not many Peanuts from Ling Sheng’s fan base who had come to the venue. The main reason was that she had not been on the original list made public. She was a subst.i.tute, so they had all watched through the live-stream. They were almost scared to death.
If Si Chengluo had not suddenly appeared to save her, Ling Sheng definitely would not have escaped this calamity. Otherwise, they would not be lashing out at the culprit now but wailing at her funeral.
Beijing Television Station could not escape this responsibility. The equipment inspection should have been done by them in the first place. Now that such a huge mistake had happened and someone had nearly died, they wanted to escape by apologizing without any sincerity? No way!
The Cold Palace fans and Little Cis, the two heavyweights of fan clubs who disliked each other, had unanimously pointed their criticisms at the Beijing Television Station in an unprecedented move and posted a long article to seek justice, which was trending on the hot search.
Humph, let’s put our score aside for now. If something happened to Ling Sheng, our masters would have to send their daughter off before themselves, with tears streaming down their faces. Won’t they go crazy?! No matter what, they had to seek justice for their daughter!
