Chapter 217 Attack in groups
That day, Xie Yan was sitting in front of the hotel dressing table, carefully applying her newly bought Dior lipstick in front of the mirror.
The bright red ointment looked particularly out of place on her dark, rough face. Instead of adding any beauty, it made her complexion appear even more dull and sallow.
But she seemed oblivious, looking at herself in the mirror from left to right, and even pouting as she took a few selfies, turning the beauty filter on her phone to its maximum, making her rough face reflect light.
"Boom boom boom——"
Suddenly, there was a rapid knocking at the door, which grew louder and louder.
Annoyed by the noise, Xie Yan assumed it was the cleaning staff and yelled at the top of her lungs towards the living room, "Mom and Dad, go open the door!"
In the living room, Old Xie was sprawled on the leather sofa, puffing on cigarettes, a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes he used to be reluctant to buy. He impatiently nudged the old woman beside him.
"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear your daughter calling you?"
The old woman hurriedly put down the new clothes she was trying on and ran to the door.
The moment the door opened, she froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.
"Xie Fu and Liu Guilan, right? We are from the Public Security Bureau of City A."
Several uniformed police officers stood at the door, giving her no time to react. "You are suspected of multiple crimes, including child abduction, abuse, and extortion."
The lead police officer flashed his police ID and summons warrant, his voice cold and hard, "We are now legally summoning you. Please cooperate with the investigation and come with us."
Liu Guilan, speaking in broken Mandarin, said, "Officer, you must have the wrong people. We're just ordinary citizens, how could we dare to commit a crime? You must have the wrong people..."
As she spoke, she slowly closed the door. The lead policeman reacted quickly and pried the door open. Upon seeing this, Liu Guilan immediately collapsed to the ground, clutching her chest and wailing, "Oh dear, oh dear... I'm having a heart attack! You must have scared me like this..."
"Help! Help! The police are beating people! The police are trying to drive us ordinary people to our deaths..."
"..."
"Captain, this..."
The young police officer was somewhat at a loss.
"Follow the procedures."
The captain remained unfazed. "Just handcuff him and take him away."
Several police officers swiftly and efficiently handcuffed the man. Xie Fu heard the commotion at the door and was about to get up to investigate when, in a flash, several people rushed out, and the next second, he found himself in a pair of silver handcuffs.
Several police officers dragged the two struggling individuals away. Xie Yan, annoyed by the noise, came out and saw this scene, screaming as she rushed out.
"What are you doing? Why are you arresting people arbitrarily?!"
She scratched and clawed at the police, and her newly manicured long nails actually scratched several bloody marks on the face of a young officer who couldn't dodge in time.
"Obstructing official business, take them with you!"
Before Xie Yan could react, her hands were bound behind her back and she was handcuffed.
"Let me go! Do you even know who my brother is?!"
At this moment, she remembered Xie Qing and struggled desperately, shouting, "Xie Qing! My brother is the big star Xie Qing, how dare you arrest me?!"
"Let me go, or I'll report you!"
"..."
The family was shouting hysterically the whole way, attracting many hotel guests to stop and watch, taking photos and videos.
The officers quickened their pace in unison and shoved the three men into the police car, but they were no match for the speed at which the crowd watched the spectacle. The video of the arrest was soon uploaded to the internet.
Within minutes, topics such as "arrest scene at a hotel" and "relative of a celebrity with the surname Xie arrested" became trending searches.
[Did I hear that right? That woman said her brother's name is Xie Qing. Is that the Xie Qing I know, or just someone with the same name? /Eating popcorn]
[Upstairs, don't doubt it, it's Xie Qing, the one who starred in "Breaking the Sky" and "The Path of Rebellion".]
These are Xie Qing's parents. Not only do they look rustic, but their accents are also so heavy.
[Xie Qing's outfits and accessories at events are all ridiculously expensive. Is it possible her parents are only this wealthy?!]
Have you all forgotten that Xie Qing was initially exposed as coming from a rural background? He probably realized that this kind of persona wouldn't make him much money, so he changed it to the persona of a wealthy young master. The clothes and accessories he wears to events are probably all fakes. / Hehe.
Xie Qing's fans weren't going to tolerate this and went all out:
[My God, when has Xie Qing ever established a persona? He's never mentioned his background since his debut. Isn't it all just netizens digging and speculating?!]
[The person upstairs agrees. And I don't even want to talk about the idiots who say Xie Qing wears fakes. A male celebrity who gets clothes designed by a famous designer like Leo to wear—why would he need to wear fakes?!]
[This is hilarious. Just because those two people in the video are yelling "I'm Xie Qing's parents" doesn't mean it's real? If I yell "I'm your ancestor" a few times now, would you have to kowtow and acknowledge me as your relative on the spot? /eye roll]
[All you haters, get out of here! Get out of here! Don't even come near me! /Get out of here emoji]
Some netizens, however, did not get swayed by the hype and maintained a rational judgment:
[You're focusing on the wrong thing. With so many police officers deployed, shouldn't we be curious about what those two people in the video actually did?]
This is clearly a big deal. Regardless of whose parents they are, if they've broken the law, they should obediently go to the police station!
[A rational reminder: Police investigations follow established procedures. The most reliable information comes from official announcements, so please refrain from speculation. /smile]
【…】
Just as one wave subsided, another arose. About forty minutes later, a newly released video once again stirred up a huge uproar.
In the video footage, a tall, slender man wearing a black mask walks into the police station. His signature fox-like eyes are instantly recognized by sharp-eyed netizens—it is Xie Qing, the male celebrity at the center of the media storm.
Holy crap, this is solid proof! Those three really are Xie Qing's family!
[Haha, the fans who defended Xie Qing must be so swollen they could fry pancakes in their faces now! /slap in the face.gif]
With so many police officers deployed, it's definitely a criminal case. Xie Qing must be there to bail out his parents!! ?(?? ?)?
[Upstairs, if that's the case, it's disgusting. Who can the victim turn to for justice? If the victim has no power, no influence, and no money, then it's even more tragic. /Angry]
Those are his parents. They're family, so there's no need for formalities. He might even have been involved in some of the things they did.
[I've never liked Xie Qing. I thought he was pretentious, effeminate, and gay. Now it seems he's just like Zheng Xiao from a few days ago—a lawbreaker too. /eye roll]
【…】
The online public opinion landscape is constantly changing. One second someone is revered as a god, and the next they are hated and trampled into the mud.
The haters, like sharks smelling blood, frantically fabricated baseless and outrageous claims that Xie Qing used drugs, engaged in prostitution, and raped minors.
Many netizens were swayed by the rumors and went to Xie Qing's social media accounts to hurl insults. His latest endorsement post was flooded with messages like "Disgraced artist, get out of the entertainment industry."
Whenever fans try to speak up for Xie Qing, they are criticized and attacked by netizens who stand on the moral high ground.
