Chapter 57: Let’s See Who Dares!
However, he and Shen Song were on the same level, unable to stop him from acting recklessly. It was another judge, Zhang Yitian, who glanced over and thought, forget it, this person just doesn’t like to meddle in others’ affairs. As long as he says a word, Shen Song wouldn’t dare to go too far!
Security appeared on the scene, and many people below sighed and lamented.
After all, an arm cannot twist a thigh.
How could a mere contestant stand up against the event organizers?
Yet, some people were whispering to each other: “Don’t you think this Shen is targeting contestant Su Mu?”
“What do you mean targeting? Can’t the judges make mistakes? It’s definitely because this Su Mu snatched someone else’s spot, otherwise, why would he be kicked out?”
“But right now, it’s all just hearsay, no one has any evidence, right? I’m not taking sides in this round; I can’t tell who’s lying!”
But discussions aside, most people were just there to watch the show. After all, it didn’t concern them directly; whether Su Mu withdrew from the competition had little to do with them.
Especially for some contestants’ families, having one or two fewer competitors was something they welcomed.
As security took the stage, Chu Hanting couldn’t sit still any longer. He suddenly stood up and strode towards the stage with his long legs.
This movement startled everyone on both sides.
One side of the onlookers shifted to make way for Chu Hanting, while on the other side, Su Mu’s father watched Chu Hanting’s departing figure, raising an eyebrow, thinking that Chu Hanting must be disgusted with Su Mu, so much so that he was angry enough to take action himself.
Ha! Su Mu, in the end, you can only return to the Su family; you will understand that only the Su family can protect you.
Su Mu’s father was waiting to see the show unfold, thinking that Chu Hanting would personally teach someone a lesson.
Security had already taken the stage, wanting to pull someone away, but Zhang Yitian was anxiously trying to stop them, which left the security guards uncertain about whom to listen to.
Su Mu stood on the stage, with very few people standing by his side. To others, he seemed helpless and flustered.
But in reality, Su Mu felt no discomfort at all. He stood straight, his eyes calm and unflustered, even in the face of so much malice, he still exuded a unique aura. Dressed in an elegant white outfit with rolled cuffs, the young man stood tall and graceful.
As security surrounded him, his previously gentle demeanor turned cold and fierce, the previously mild and easily bullied aura instantly replaced by an overwhelming presence.
One security guard, acting on Shen Song’s orders, prepared to grab Su Mu, but before he could even touch him, he found his arm twisted and was kicked hard in the stomach, flying far away.
The thud of him hitting the ground made the other security guards swallow hard; thankfully, it wasn’t them who had acted, or they would have been the ones kicked away, and just watching it was painful.
Chu Hanting didn’t even glance at the useless guard he had kicked away. He took Su Mu’s hand, pulling him into his embrace, protecting him in a half-hug, his hand resting on Su Mu’s slender waist.
In an instant, Su Mu’s cold demeanor dissipated, and he turned his head away, his face slightly flushed.
There were so many people watching on stage. Usually, they only hugged privately; how could this person be so bold as to act so intimately in front of so many?
Su Mu turned his head, inching closer to Chu Hanting, turning his back to the audience, not wanting anyone to notice his unusual behavior.
Su Mu’s father couldn’t understand why Chu Hanting was protecting Su Mu. Shouldn’t he despise him for cheating?
It could only be said that Su Mu’s father, after feeling disrespected by Su Mu, completely failed to see his brilliance, unaware of how he shone in the eyes of others, how dazzling he was.
In his eyes, Su Mu was worthless, but in someone else’s eyes, he was a talented genius.
Shen Song shouted, “Who are you! This is a competition venue; barging in here means you have to take responsibility.”
Shen Song’s words had no effect on Chu Hanting’s side.
Instead, they startled Su Mu’s father, who stumbled, desperately trying to signal Shen Song, but Shen Song didn’t even look his way.
Chu Hanting’s face had been dark since he saw the security guards take the stage.
Now, the cold aura was even harder to suppress. Even if he didn’t like Su Mu, these people couldn’t touch him.
Moreover, he had started to like him just a little.
Fortunately, he had come to watch the competition; otherwise, if Su Mu had to face such great grievances and baseless accusations alone, he would feel a tightness in his chest just thinking about it.
It was good that he was here, able to help Su Mu, to protect him from harm.
Shen Song didn’t care who had come up; he continued to shout frantically, “Security, throw these two out together.”
“Let’s see who dares!”
“I dare, so what?”
After Shen Song spoke, he felt something was off; that voice didn’t seem to come from the tall man he thought it was.
Instead, it was a rather aged voice that sounded strangely familiar.
He turned around in shock and saw an old man with graying hair, wearing a slightly oversized dark gray suit.
“President? What are you doing here?”
Shen Song felt a surge of panic.
Oh no, the president coming at this time could only mean trouble! In past competitions, the president had long delegated authority to them, not having personally attended the venue for ten consecutive years.
That’s why he had boldly taken on this task, bringing Su Ning in and driving Su Mu out.
He glanced at the silent judge, but the other party looked at him innocently.
It was him, but he couldn’t invite the president.
Qin Zeming didn’t even look at Shen Song, his gaze fixed on the stage. When he saw Chu Hanting, his smile widened as he walked over, grinning, “I’m not late, am I?”
After speaking, he quietly glanced at Su Mu, realizing that the one being protected by Chu Hanting was not an ordinary person.
Shen Song looked at the president’s smiling face in disbelief. How could this be possible? Was he seeing things?
Even the government treats their president with utmost respect; how could this self-important president be so deferential to this person?
The key was that even with the president acting this way, that person’s expression didn’t change, still cold-faced. Their president wasn’t even angry!
Chu Hanting was solely focused on quickly giving his child a fair resolution, his expression stern as he urged, “Your people, you handle it yourself.”
Qin Zeming understood immediately and nodded repeatedly.
When he turned to look below, his expression turned dark and gloomy.
“Shen Song, you have some nerve!”
Shen Song was startled half to death by the president’s shout.
“President, it’s not me; it’s this Su Mu who is audacious enough to dare…”
“Shut up!” Qin Zeming interrupted him, not allowing him to finish!
What nonsense! The person was right here; how could he allow Shen Song to slander the one being protected in front of that big shot?
