Quick Transmigation: Good Man Series 1 [1-200]

Chapter 10 - Entertainment Circle Reality Show 10

With Zhou Zekai's shouting, more and more people in the surroundings woke up. After the television crew hurried over and discovered Zhou Zekai in a scuffle with two people, they hastily went up to help. In any case, they were all grown men. They didn't experience any difficulty against the other two. The physique of those of which each and every one of them are usually capable of hoisting cameras across several miles are naturally not comparable to others.

In a few moments, the two men were subdued.

"Zekai, are you alright?" Amidst the cameramen was the VJ who followed Zhou Zekai. As he looked at the cold gleam of the fruit knife in Zhou Zekai's hand, he felt as though his head was going to explode. It wasn't not easy to film a show, and yet something like this happened......

"I'm fine." Zhou Zekai smiled at him. Then he turned towards those two men, his expression extremely cold. He had clearly heard one of the men's voiced intentions. He didn't dare to think what would happen to Tang Bingyu if that man actually carried it out.

At this time, the other members of the television crew as well as Tang Bingyu and Yang Fangfang arrived at the scene. Yang Le who had been lying asleep on the bed had also woken up. When he saw the two people who were being pressed down by the cameramen, he cried from fright. The villagers who came to spectate were also frightened silly once they saw the two people on the floor.

   

"Isn't this the Zhao family's Zhao Wu? And the Zhang family's San Zi. What's this about? Don't tell me, they were caught stealing?"

"Who knows~ The two of them steal chickens and touch dogs¹ all day in the village. Didn't they go outside to work recently? Why'd they come back?"

[¹TLN: they're saying that the two men usually engage in petty thievery]

"Then......should we go find Zhang family's daughter-in-law?"

After some villagers recognized these two people, there was truly a myriad of thoughts. If they were caught by one of the villagers, then there was relatively room for discussion. Yet they were caught by someone from outside. This time that the television crew came, in order to guarantee the safety of these city kids, one team added up to about thirty-something people. All of them were sturdy men who could take on two or three people at a time, the type that could hoist cameras across several miles. The feeling that they gave off was naturally very intimidating.

"Ah Kai, are you okay?" Currently Tang Bingyu's hair was scattered loosely across her shoulders and she was wearing pajamas. At a glance, it was clear that she had come over after hearing Zhou Zekai's voice. Her voice was filled with worry; she pulled Zhou Zekai 's hand, wanting to check if he was injured.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Holding onto her hand, Zhou Zekai appeased. Regarding this kind of situation, he hadn't thought of it before. However, that doesn't mean that any random two people could hurt him.

"What are these two people here for?" Looking at the two people in question with some fear, Tang Bingyu leaned into Zhou Zekai. She was truly afraid. It was already scary by herself in the village, but something like the villagers here suddenly sneaking into her room...As soon as Tang Bingyu thought of that scenario happening to her, her complexion would go pale. Her hand that was pulling onto Zhou Zekai couldn't resist tightening, her other hand also coming to lock onto his wrist.

He knew that this girl was scared. After all, they came a long way from home to come to this foreign village. If something was to happen to them, then it's likely that no one would know. Hence, he said, "Everything is alright. It might have just been two thieves who came to steal things."

Not having the heart to tell the truth to the other party, Zhou Zekai used a more believable phrasing. When he saw that Tang Bingyu wasn't as afraid anymore, he told Yang Fangfang and Yang Le who were at the side to accompany Tang Bingyu, to not leave a single step!

After letting Tang Bingyu leave, Zhou Zekai directly closed the door to the room, blocking the villagers outside from snooping. Only the assistant director and four other cameramen were left in the room.

"Director, regarding the events that have occurred tonight, I trust that it will be clear once you watch the footage. These two wanted to kidnap me for the ginseng, so I hope that tonight's footage will be able to serve as evidence. Furthermore, after a while when my dad comes, I will let him contact a lawyer. This kidnapping is extremely abominable, I will definitely not let these two go!"

The television crew were also startled by Zhou Zekai's words. Earlier there were too many people; they were afraid that with so many people around, it would be messy with so many voices speaking so they didn't dare to ask. Now that they know that these two people weren't here to steal something, but to kidnap Zhou Zekai, they instantly regretted their actions. After all, the publicity regarding the ginseng was their doing. Now that this has happened, their production team actually bore a great part of the responsibility.

"Don't worry, Zekai. None of us will cover up for these two bad guys. The law will give them the best punishment."

The assistant director really did not expect that it wasn't easy that they had two obedient kids to shoot with, and even attention from the media, yet in the end this kind of thing happened. It was truly enough!!!

Just as they were discussing this, Zhou Zekai's father Zhou Hongyi knocked on the door. He lived further away from his son, so he only heard the news a short time ago. When Zhou Zekai  opened the door, he was so anxious that his face was all sweaty. He pulled his son into his arms and inspected his condition.

"Are you hurt anywhere? Are you alright?"

His heart goes out to his own son. Zhou Hongyi really had never thought that even with the television crew present, something like this would still occur.  He was so scared. He even considered ending this time's recording. He had already seen his son's change anyway, his son can already show consideration for others. If something really happened to his son, Zhou Hongyi would also wish for death!
  

"Dad......"

Being held in his arms, Zhou Zekai raised his head and met Zhou Hongyi's reddened eyes and bursting blue veins along his neck. Immediately his heart softened. He knew that he could always rely on his parents. 

"I'm fine, Dad. You don't need to worry. Hadn't I brought a fruit knife home? They were scared of me, they didn't dare to do anything to me at all."

He didn't dare to tell his father honestly that these two men wanted to kidnap him because of the ginseng that he had discovered. Instead, he first appeased his father. In the end, Zhou Zekai, the television crew, and Zhou Hongyi went to the television crew's room to investigate the night's footage. 

The result was naturally self-evident. The television crew had installed the best cameras with very good night vision. They could clearly see when the two men opened the door and entered the room, especially when they heard the contents of their conversation. Zhou Hongyi's heart chilled; and when he heard that these two had actually wanted to ruin Tang Bingyu, he wished that he could beat them up at that very moment. 

The television crew were also stunned. They hadn't thought that these two were so unruly. Not only did they plan to kidnap Zhou Zekai right under their noses², they even wanted to ruin Tang Bingyu......If this truly were to happen, the television crew feels like they shouldn't film their program anymore! 

[²TLN: the original had it as "在他们眼皮子底下" (right under their eyelids) which is the Chinese equivalent of "right under their nose"]

By the time that the village chief of Ming'an Village came, the television crew and the Zhou family had already come to a decision. This kind of demented hoodlum must be sent to prison, he would be getting off easy even if he was given a sentence of more than ten years!!!
