Princess Apartments.
“Yay, it was so awesome, so thrilling, with even an assassination scene involved; it’s so exciting.
The internet is buzzing right now; it has totally blown up, a massive comeback!” Zhao Yaya bounced and danced around on the sofa, extremely joyous.
Just earlier, when Tangyu was being stabbed by the assassin on live TV, Lin Feifei’s heart had nearly leapt out.
But here was Zhao Yaya, incessantly shouting how thrilling it was, too thrilling indeed.
“Giggle, the comments online right now are so interesting.
Many people are saying it’s unbelievable, a miraculous event that has blinded many with their titanium alloy eyes.
The cursing has also significantly decreased.
Now, if there’s any cursing, a legion of internet trolls immediately drowns it out.
The battle is too thrilling, too intense; I’m going to join the fray too.
Haha, I’m going to post some more photos.
My Weibo followership has reached several million since yesterday, and I estimate it will easily break ten million today.
I’m on the path to fame,” Zhao Yaya was exceptionally excited, as if injected with adrenaline.
Lin Feifei and Guo Momo could only roll their eyes at Zhao Yaya’s carefree exhilaration.
The morning’s event had exploded on the internet like a Category 12 tsunami.
The internet is always the fastest and most intense place for news dissemination.
Major portal sites, social forums, and Weibo, were all bursting at the seams.
And because of the incredible, globally shocking performance of the traditional medicine team that morning, there was widespread acclaim.
Statements that initially sighed in dismay had now turned overwhelmingly in favor.
Phrases like “Traditional medicine is unbeatable, magical, profound; down with Western medicine, promote traditional medicine” were rampant, turning into fierce weapons launched against Western medicine.
Of course, there were still some stubborn holdouts and those with biased views continuing to support Western medicine, believing it to be the most advanced and scientific medical practice in the modern world and thinking of traditional medicine as outdated and due for elimination.
Such opinions naturally attracted a barrage of criticism.
Many people were just bandwagoning, shifting directions with the wind.
Just this morning, they had criticized traditional medicine and lambasted Tangyu, but in the blink of an eye, they had become staunch supporters of traditional medicine and Tangyu.
The internet is a magical place, and naturally, magical things happen there.
The assassination attempt from the morning was also fervently discussed, with most opinions pointing fingers at the Western medicine delegation, seeing it as their tactic.
Additionally, with the situation already being highly charged, these opinions naturally gained traction, showcasing to the world just how formidable the Huaxia Country’s troll army was.
All major media outlets were racing to report on this incident.
What the media needed was heat, news, and attention, and as for the rest, that wasn’t their concern.
Therefore, whichever side was more sensational, the media would lean towards that.
The first exchange of the Sino-Western medicine conference ended with traditional medicine’s perfect victory, and the biggest hero behind this victory was, of course, none other than Tangyu.
Tangyu had already been a hot topic these past few days, even surpassing some of the hottest and most famous figures in follower count, becoming the focus of the entire country overnight, with even foreign media issuing reports about him.
With Tangyu’s astounding performance that morning, while earning a roomful of applause, he also became the idol many men admired and many women swooned over.
Unbelievably, the ‘confession wall’ that someone had started exceeded five million hits, and this number was still increasing at a terrifying rate.
Due to its popularity, major portal websites even featured this confession wall in a special segment.
To describe Tangyu as an overnight sensation was more than fitting.
Some individuals related to Tangyu in Donglin City also turned their attention towards him.
As the storm reigned outside, drastically changing landscapes, the Sino-Western medicine teams were resting quietly in the Shangri-La Hotel.
Thousands of police officers heavily cordoned off the entire hotel, not letting even a fly in.
Furthermore, the Shangri-La Hotel had halted all external business operations; the existing guests had mostly been moved to other hotels, and the entire hotel was completely isolated.
Only the press could enter, but they also needed to pass through rigorous inspections; sneaking in was utterly out of question.
The morning incident had already drawn significant attention from the leaders in the Capital City, and orders had come one after another, with even the Ministry of National Defense deploying a secret military unit to assist the Donglin City police in investigating the morning’s events.
According to rumors, personnel from the Ministry of National Defense were also involved, indicating the seriousness with which this situation was being addressed.
Moreover, due to the morning’s events, the originally planned Sino-Western medicine exchange meeting at Central Square had been moved to the Shangri-La Hotel.
Unfortunately, the public could no longer witness it on site, but various satellite TV channels were broadcasting it live, as were major websites with real-time text and photo updates.
The restrooms.
Tangyu and Liu Shiyi were sitting there watching TV.
Not that Liu Shiyi and Tangyu were assigned to the same room; everyone had their own restrooms.
However, Liu Shiyi wasn’t familiar with the others, and staying alone in her room was boring, so she had decided to swing by Tangyu’s.
After chatting for a bit, they both fell into silence, watching the TV, which was, of course, broadcasting the morning’s events.
“Tangyu, who was the assassin this morning?
Do you really believe it wasn’t America’s doing?” Liu Shiyi asked.
Tangyu shook his head and smiled, “No, I know who that person was.
The Western medicine team was already overambitious this time, not taking us traditional medicine practitioners seriously at all.
A rival they didn’t even regard as worthy—do you think they would take such a great risk and expend so much effort, even deploying an assassin to kill me?
You should realize, if this were exposed, the enormous pressure America would face from public opinion.
America has always done well in human rights, and even if they wanted to kill me, they wouldn’t use such a low-level method, and definitely not the way of an assassin.”
Liu Shiyi nodded her head, albeit not understanding all the inner workings, she still greatly agreed with Tangyu’s words.
“Then who could it be?
To commit such a crazy act, it’s terrifying to think about; it’s totally a suicidal assassination, only a terrorist organization could do something like this?” Liu Shiyi said.
“Yes, you’re right, it’s a terrorist organization.
The person who attempted to assassinate me this morning was indeed from such an organization,” Tangyu said.
“Ah!
So it really is a terrorist organization, but how did you manage to offend them?” Liu Shiyi was also puzzled.
Tangyu pursed his lips and said, “Forget it, it’s too complicated to explain to you.
Let’s not worry about that.
I won’t be killed that easily.
Right now, our focus should all be on the upcoming Traditional and Western Medicine Conference.
Although I’m confident, we can’t take it lightly.
We must give it our all.”
“Mhm,” Liu Shiyi nodded, pursing her lips, “Tangyu, you’ve given me a huge opportunity in life, this is definitely going to be a beautiful major turning point.
Although this time, I know I can’t do much, I don’t even need to lift a finger.
Although those two words are very weak, I still want to thank you.”
Tangyu smiled and looked at Liu Shiyi, who seemed especially spellbinding.
Caught by Tangyu’s gaze, Liu Shiyi involuntarily turned her head away, not daring to meet his eyes.
The closer she was to Tangyu, the more she realized how irresistibly charming he was.
Tangyu was like a huge magnet, the closer you got, the stronger you were pulled in.
Besides, he was like a great treasure, always having something surprising on him, time after time, shocking and moving you, even making you crazy with fascination.
Admiration, is always the most dangerous thing when a woman falls in love with a man.
And clearly, this feeling had already developed in Liu Shiyi.
She admired Tangyu more and more.
And this admiration was also turning into love.
Of course, she didn’t want to admit it, nor did she know if it could be called love.
But she knew, she liked being with Tangyu, liked how he brought surprises not just to her, but to others as well.
This man, was like a mystery.
The two of them then fell silent again, making the atmosphere somewhat awkward.
Liu Shiyi also felt a bit uneasy and stood up, walking to the window, subconsciously about to pull open the curtains.
Just as her hand touched the curtain, she heard a voice from behind, “Don’t open it.”
Tangyu quickly rushed over and pulled Liu Shiyi towards him.
Due to the urgency, Liu Shiyi suddenly fell into his arms.
Afraid that Liu Shiyi would fall, Tangyu quickly held her, and they ended up in an embrace.
Staring into each other’s eyes, the distance between their faces was merely a forehead away, they could even hear each other’s breaths, heartbeats, feel each other’s body heat, and sensitive parts.
“Don’t open the curtains, there must be reporters lurking outside,” Tangyu said, as he looked at the beautiful face so close to him, he couldn’t bear to let go.
Liu Shiyi’s face also slowly turned red, her breathing gradually quickening.
Under her heaving breaths, her proud bosom also swelled, pressing softly and tenderly against Tangyu’s chest, very comfortably.
“Gulp!” Tangyu couldn’t help but swallow his saliva, the scene was simply too provocative.
Liu Shiyi looked even more bewildered, like a tame Persian cat nestled in Tangyu’s arms, not even thinking about struggling, her mind was completely blank.
At this moment, if Tangyu were to kiss her, she probably wouldn’t resist at all.
The two remained like statues, staying in that position for several seconds.
“What are you going to do?” asked Liu Shiyi, her face flushed.
“I don’t know,” Tangyu replied, feeling the urge but also trying hard to suppress it.
“Dong Dong!!”
Suddenly, a knocking sound rang out, and the door was directly opened.
Rao Yuanzhi stepped in, but his steps halted mid-air, his eyes widening at the sight of Tangyu and Liu Shiyi tightly embracing.
After a moment, he quickly said, “Pretty energetic, huh?
Carry on, I didn’t see anything.
Oh right, also, there are fifteen minutes left until two o’clock.
The conference is about to start, hurry up,” and with that, Rao Yuanzhi straightaway retreated out and closed the door behind him.
Tangyu and Liu Shiyi snapped out of it as if electrocuted, and hastily separated.
Liu Shiyi’s face turned as red as a hot iron.
“Jumping in the Yellow River won’t wash it clean,” Liu Shiyi stomped her foot.
