Chapter 1896: She Is the National Treasure Zaizai
Cheng Guodong and Qin Xin called Gu Yixing immediately after watching the show.
Because the show didn’t confiscate phones, Gu Yixing received the news and quickly pulled Little Taotie aside, out of the camera’s view.
Little Taotie looked confused: "Third Brother, why are you covering me with clothes?"
"Shh, don’t talk." Gu Yixing frowned, looking serious and solemn.
He was very anxious, afraid that Little Taotie’s biggest secret would be exposed.
These kinds of things, when spread, are rarely good; most people wouldn’t believe it and could associate it with illness.
He didn’t want Little Taotie to be considered sick.
Shen Cang saw the show and his face darkened.
The child he was protecting was maliciously exposed.
This was tantamount to exposing the existence of the Special Department.
Just when the director was ecstatic about the show’s ratings soaring, the TV station abruptly cut the program.
The director frantically questioned, "Why, the ratings were high!"
"You’re overwhelmed, don’t ask why." The station manager looked at him sympathetically.
Before the director could continue questioning, a call came.
Someone informed the director that his bet agreement had taken effect, and he lost.
"The show was just paused, I still have more than half a year, I can make a comeback!"
"You might’ve missed a clause that says not to affect public officials due to the show."
"I didn’t..."
The other party interrupted him, "Latest news, the government announced that since last year, Little Taotie has been incorporated into the state and has become a public official."
"What do you mean! How could this be possible! She’s just a primary school student!"
"Don’t underestimate anyone."
The director wanted to say more, but the "beep beep beep" sound indicated the call had been hung up.
He looked at the station manager, bewildered: "Is Little Taotie a public official?"
The station manager directly showed him a message.
The director’s hands trembled: "How is this possible... How could she become a public official..."
"She has extraordinary strength, even if she isn’t part of the state now; if she wanted to participate in the Olympics, she would be part of the state. She’s inherently not an ordinary child, how can you view her with ordinary eyes, and furthermore—"
The station manager paused and looked deeply at him: "If the content of the show is true, if she can really see those things, do you think you can afford to provoke her? You dare use her to hype the show, truly asking for trouble."
"She’s sick, she talks to herself..."
The station manager pointed to a section below the message: "Open the video and have a look."
In the video, Little Taotie pulls out a sharp-faced, monkey-like man from the crowd and shouts, "It’s him, he held down the counter lady’s head, he killed the counter lady! The lady didn’t commit suicide!"
The sharp-faced man was startled and blurted out, "Clearly, no one saw!"
He immediately covered his mouth, but it was too late.
Having committed murder for the first time, he was very flustered, and now being publicly exposed, he was overwhelmed and blurted such foolish words.
He virtually admitted it.
The real police arrived and arrested him.
The video directly jumped to the scene where the man confesses.
"She was my artist, but she never cooperated, never listened at all, and in so much time, didn’t earn any money. I thought maybe if she died, it might catch some heat, like some stars are, attracting attention after dying, making old works redeploy. I invested in those shows... I didn’t expect to kill anyone. It was just a momentary slip, a momentary mistake. I regret it, I truly regret it..."
