The scene suddenly fell silent. Even the live stream was paused for a few seconds. Then, a flood of comments quickly appeared on the screen.
[What the hell, what happened, why did Mu Wan suddenly hit someone?]
[I don’t know, I was looking at Zhou Yang and the others and didn’t notice what happened at the edge of the camera.]
[She suddenly got enraged and hit someone—does Mu Wan have a mental illness?]
[Someone take my Fang Li away, why would the production team invite such a person?]
[So embarrassing, taking this to an international stage.]
The production crew was also startled. They hurriedly approached, forgetting all about the filming, and asked what had happened. The white man who had been slapped was also stunned for a moment. He looked at Mu Wan in disbelief, then became enraged and shouted angrily in English, “Slut, you hit me, I’m going to sue you.”
Real-time translation from the viewers: [Slut, you hit me, I’m going to sue you.]
The director and producer quickly tried to calm him down. Mu Wan, however, pulled him behind her. Her gaze was cold, and she responded in fluent English, “Sue me? Big joke. Do you dare to repeat what you just said?”
[Sue me? That’s a huge joke. Dare to say what you just said again?]
She pointed to the live camera, still running in work mode.
“We have cameras.”
“What you just said relates to racial discrimination.”
[What you just said involves racial discrimination.]
“Do you want me to take the video to your school or workplace and tell everyone that you’re a racist? Apologize to us right now.”
“Don’t make me take this video to your school or workplace, and tell everyone you’re a racist. Apologize to us right now.”
After hearing Mu Wan’s words, the expressions of the passersby who had been glaring at her earlier changed drastically. In country M, racial discrimination is a very serious issue. It’s serious enough that it can ruin a person’s reputation and even lead to social death. The white man obviously began to panic. He had only seen a group of Chinese people gathering and didn’t realize they had cameras. Stubbornly, he tried to argue that Mu Wan had no evidence. Mu Wan smiled faintly, but her gaze was cold. “So, are you betting your future on this?”
The white man couldn’t understand Chinese, but he sensed that this sentence was very important, and he started to sweat nervously. He turned to run but was blocked by two walls of muscle. Zhou Yang and Zhong Yi, the two guys from the team, stood behind him.
“Apologize to our friend.”
At this point, some people in the plaza began to softly shout, “Apologize!” The voice started low but slowly grew louder. “Apologize.” “Apologize.” The white man, surrounded by the crowd and with all eyes on him, was extremely anxious. He didn’t expect his words, which he had repeated countless times, to backfire so dramatically this time.
Li Shuqin pulled out her Facebook homepage and showed it to the white man. Her usual gentle expression now carried an unusual severity. “If you don’t apologize, I’ll post the video on Facebook.”
Li Shuqin is a top-tier celebrity in China, with many TV dramas being exported overseas. With her substantial fashion influence, she has a large following on Facebook. Even if the white man decided to ignore it and run away, the video would likely make him ‘famous’ for the wrong reasons.
With all his escape routes blocked, the white man, reluctantly and under intense pressure, finally muttered an apology to Mu Wan.
Mu Wan asked, “Didn’t you eat?”
Zhou Yang translated for her, “Be louder.”
The white man turned even paler and shouted a reluctant “Sorry” before quickly fleeing into the crowd.
[Wow, that felt so good, even better than reading a revenge novel.]
[Mu Wan is so awesome, that slap was clean and decisive. This is how people like him should be treated.]
[Everyone is so united, after the incident, no one blamed Mu Wan. After understanding the situation, they all stood firmly by her side.]
[Earlier, some people were spreading rumors that she had a mental illness.]
[I went abroad for work before, and someone made a squinty-eye gesture at me. I was alone at the time, both angry and scared, and returned home with a stomach full of frustration.]
[Yes, ordinary people probably wouldn’t have the courage to slap such a tall guy.]
[Mu Wan probably knew the crew was there.]
[Even if someone was present, most people wouldn’t have acted so boldly.]
[Mu Wan is awesome!]
Zhou Yang also said to Mu Wan, “Next time something like this happens, call us guys first. In case they retaliate and hurt you.”
Li Shuqin and Fang Li walked over to ask if she was alright. Mu Wan shook her head, then stretched out her slightly numb hand and smiled faintly. “Alright, next time, I’ll call you guys to beat him up together.”
The director quickly cleared his throat.
Zhou Yang smiled, “Got it, got it. We don’t promote violence, right?” He looked at the three girls in the team. “Next time something happens, come to me or Yi Ge, we’ll help you deal with it.”
Director: “…”
