Weidao City Central Hospital
VIP ward
Xia Mingyao lay in the hospital bed, groaning in pain. Suddenly, hurried footsteps echoed from the hallway, growing louder as they approached.
The next moment, the door burst open. A lavishly dressed, stern-looking old woman swept into the VIP ward, flanked by a well-heeled, equally unsmiling middle-aged couple.
"My dear grandson, what happened to you? How did you get so badly hurt? Your grandma's heart is breaking!"
The old woman rushed to the bed, where Xia Mingyao lay swathed in bandages like a mummy, and began to fuss over him, her words tumbling out in a torrent.
The middle-aged couple also surged forward, their eyes darting over their son, their faces etched with anguish.
"Mingyao, my son, how could you have been injured like this?"
"Mingyao, are you alright? Your mother is worried sick!"
***
It turned out the visitors were none other than Xia Mingyao's grandmother, Old Mrs. Xia, and his parents, Xia Dawei and Yao Yulan.
Having rushed from the Imperial Capital as soon as they heard their son (grandson) had been beaten and hospitalized, they arrived at Weidao Island without delay.
*This is outrageous!*
*Our precious son (grandson) has been beaten!*
Seeing his parents and grandmother arrive and fuss over him with concern, Xia Mingyao, who was already whimpering, began wailing even louder.
Anyone unaware might have genuinely believed he'd suffered a serious injury.
However...
A young nurse, hiding in the corner, couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth at the scene.
*Actually, Xia Mingyao's injuries are all on his face, okay?*
*While the attacker was certainly brutal...*
*The key is that Xia Mingyao had already had plastic surgery on his face. That punch burst the implants in his face.*
*But apart from his disfigured face, the rest of his body is perfectly fine, alright?*
*There are only a few bruises and minor abrasions.*
*Those are from when he lost his balance and fell after being hit.*
*Why the endless crying and howling?*
*Anyone would think he'd suffered a life-threatening injury.*
*And...*
The nurse glanced at the bandaged, mummy-like Xia Mingyao and felt utterly exasperated.
*He only has a few superficial scratches that don't even need bandaging, yet he insisted on being wrapped up like this? It's ridiculous!*
*I've never seen such a dramatic, coddled man!*
***
"Who was it? Who dared to lay a hand on my precious grandson, Mingyao! Dawei, you must make them pay! We can't let this go unpunished!"
Old Mrs. Xia, who had always doted on her grandson Xia Mingyao, spoke first.
Her words were immediately echoed by Xia's wife, Yao Yulan:
"Mother, you're right! What kind of person would dare to lay a hand on our Mingyao? Husband, you must teach him a lesson and show him the power of the Xia Family!"
Xia Dawei, his face also burning with righteous indignation, nodded vigorously in agreement with their words and declared with swaggering arrogance:
"Exactly! Mother, wife, you're both right! Who dares to provoke my son, the young master of the Xia Family, Xia Dawei? Hmph! This fool is practically asking for death! I won't just make him pay; I'll make his parents and his entire family pay! Since they failed to discipline their son, they'll have to face the wrath of me, Xia Dawei, and the entire Xia Family!"
Xia Mingyao, who had been lying on the hospital bed whimpering, immediately stopped his moaning. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he said:
"It was Fu Shan! Father, Mother, Grandmother, I want him to suffer!"
***
The next day, a hot search titled "#FuShanGetOutOfTheEntertainmentIndustry#" suddenly appeared at the top of the trending topics, dominating the top position.
The subsequent hot searches were all related to Fu Shan and his assault incident from the previous day.
Xia Mingyao appeared to testify, posting photos of his "severe injuries" and "near-death state."
In the photos, Xia Mingyao was wrapped like a mummy from head to toe, his face unrecognizable and his appearance utterly pitiful.
The accompanying caption was filled with condemnation and accusations against Fu Shan.
Meanwhile, Xia Mingyao also published a lengthy post on Weibo, calling for attention to the basic qualities required of entertainment industry professionals, advocating for a rejection of violence, and vowing zero tolerance for abusers.
The spearhead of his attack was aimed squarely at Fu Shan.
@XiaMingyaoV: People like Fu Shan, with their low standards, really don't belong in the entertainment industry. After all, he's just a migrant worker—low-class and not fit for public view. He should just go back to being a migrant worker. The entertainment industry isn't the place for him.
After publicly mocking Fu Shan with cold sarcasm, Xia Mingyao declared that he would not tolerate Fu Shan's vulgar and violent behavior and was preparing to take legal action, suing Fu Shan in court to protect his legal rights.
After all, Fu Shan's beating couldn't go unpunished.
The subtext was clear: Fu Shan had to go to jail.
Meanwhile, Xia Corporation released a Weibo post:
Chairman Xia Dawei of Xia Corporation V: We will show absolutely no leniency towards the morally corrupt artist Fu Shan! He must be boycotted and blacklisted! From now on, anyone who hires Fu Shan will be making an enemy of the entire Xia Corporation and myself, Xia Dawei!
Xia Dawei, fiercely protective of his son, was also incredibly arrogant.
Without hesitation, he used his position as chairman of Xia Corporation to publicly call for Fu Shan's blacklisting.
Xia Dawei declared that he wanted to teach this arrogant, clueless country boy a lesson and make him pay!
*Hmph! How dare a mere peasant migrant worker from a small village lay a hand on my precious son, Xia Mingyao? He's practically asking for death!*
Netizens and onlookers watched all this unfold, gasping and buzzing with discussion:
"Fu Shan's really in deep trouble this time!"
"This doesn't look like it can be smoothed over. From the sound of it, Xia Mingyao won't rest until Fu Shan is ruined."
"Even the chairman of Xia Corporation has come out to make a public statement. This is serious! Fu Shan's in for a rough ride!"
***
Everyone agreed that Fu Shan was in serious trouble.
Many netizens and fans collectively held their breath for him.
That punch Fu Shan threw yesterday felt satisfying, no doubt.
But the consequences...
*Sigh, as the saying goes, the poor shouldn't pick a fight with the rich.*
After all, Xia Mingyao was a second-generation rich kid, the eldest young master of the renowned Xia Corporation of the Imperial Capital.
How could a migrant worker from a remote mountain village, a poor kid like Fu Shan, possibly compete with him?
Wasn't that like throwing an egg against a rock?
Now it seemed Fu Shan was likely doomed this time!
