Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 332: Chapter 331: Ying’er’s Trouble

Returning to the classroom, Su Yang immediately took out his phone to check up on Ying’er’s situation.

Upon opening the search engine, he didn’t even need to look for the information, as the top headlines were already being pushed to his side.

”Popular actress accused of plagiarism, a vase with a filthy heart?”

Su Yang clicked open the article, which reported on Ying’er’s participation in the all-star singing competition. The article pointed out that Ying’s original song, submitted for the contest, was suspected of plagiarizing a well-known composer’s music.

And this well-known composer happened to be the dedicated songwriter for Ying’er’s archrival. Hence, that side was now tenaciously holding on to the issue, blowing it out of proportion and spreading everywhere that Ying’er had looks but no ethics, and that she lacked creativity but specialized in copying and stealing others’ works.

Su Yang scrolled through many reports, all unilaterally accusing Ying’er. After all, the accusations of plagiarism had become an established fact. And since Ying’er’s popularity had recently skyrocketed, the incident had been blown up significantly, with nearly half of all entertainment reports being related to this matter.

Many well-known actors, singers, composers, and directors came out in support of that composer. Even worse, they dug up some of Ying’er’s past, talking about how she was a prima donna with poor ethics and disliked by many.

The most infuriating thing was that a third-rate actor from nowhere, parading his horse-face, boldly claimed to have had an underground romance with Ying’er. He then directly accused Ying’er of promiscuity in her private life, saying he could not bear her infidelity and had painfully broken up with her.

This minor actor, originally just an insignificant extra, gained sudden fame through this scandal. Some producers even clamored to make a movie reflecting the scandalous lives of certain actresses in the entertainment industry, with Ying’er’s story as a backdrop. They even invited this minor actor to play the leading role, which was practically a slap in Ying’er’s face!

Of course, the Shangguan family also did quite a bit of work regarding this matter. However, while the Shangguan family had some reputation in Pingnan Province, it wasn’t the same nationally.

Ying’er’s archenemy hailed from a prominent family in Pingbei Province, holding similar status to Ying’er. That family was now fully supporting Ying’er’s archrival with the backing of other families as well. Coupled with the highly entertaining nature of the incident, the news simply couldn’t be suppressed.

After a lengthy search, Su Yang finally found a piece tucked away in a corner, a statement released by Ying’er’s side.

In the statement, Ying’er made it clear that she was not the composer of the song, but it was created in collaboration with her team’s dedicated songwriter, Lan Ci.

In fact, Lan Ci composed the music, while Ying’er was invited to write the lyrics; she contributed a portion, and Lan Ci later added to it.

The agency, in an effort to promote the song, straightforwardly marketed it as Ying’er’s original creation. On the credits for composer and lyricist, they included Ying’er’s name. Moreover, when announced publicly, Ying’er’s name even preceded Lan Ci’s.

Yet, this report, amid the overwhelming negative news about Ying’er, barely made a ripple. People nowadays only liked to see all sorts of scandals and negative news, and they regarded this genuine response with skepticism, suspecting that it was an attempt by Ying’er’s agency to clean up her image.

After reading these reports, Su Yang couldn’t help but laugh.

Although Su Yang had no experience with the affairs of the entertainment industry, he understood very clearly that Ying’er was likely being framed this time.

This Lan Ci was probably not a good person, having colluded with Ying’er’s archrival to go against her.

Regrettably, such claims, even if made, wouldn’t be believed. To prove Ying’er’s innocence, key evidence was needed. But now, all evidence was against Ying’er.

Putting down his phone, Su Yang called Hou Shilin to arrange for a car to take him to Zhongzhou City.

Ying’er had done Su Yang a great favor, and he couldn’t just sit back and watch idly!

At dusk, Su Yang arrived in Zhongzhou City and approached the Shangguan family’s doorstep.

Returning here, Su Yang felt a wave of emotion. He had visited this place when he first returned from the military. Su Yang originally thought he would never set foot here again in his lifetime. Yet, here he was, back again!

Taking a deep breath, Su Yang walked straight up to the entrance.

”Hello, I’m here to see Miss Ying’er. Could you please announce my arrival?” Su Yang said to the security guard at the door.

There were four security guards at the entrance, and upon hearing this, they exchanged glances. Suddenly, all four of them pulled out batons and surrounded Su Yang in the middle.

”Motherfucker, I told you to get Miss Ying’er!” the leading security guard roared furiously, swinging at him.

The other three showed no mercy either, striking at him as if he were their sworn enemy.

Su Yang was speechless, thinking he had been polite enough in his request. What was going on? The Shangguan family’s security guards were way too aggressive!

Dodging the attackers, Su Yang frowned and said, ”I really am here to see Miss Ying’er, you just need to go inside and notify her!”

”Find your fucking death, I’ll kill you!” the guard shouted furiously, ”Beat him to death! Beat the turtle egg to death, fuck!”

The four security guards attacked with full force, and Su Yang started to get angry as well, saying sternly, ”If you keep this up, I’ll start fighting back!”

”Motherfucker, you dare to fight back, beat him, beat him!” the leading guard bellowed.

Finally having had enough, Su Yang suddenly raised his fist and struck the baton that was coming down towards him.

There was a muffled sound as the baton burst apart under Su Yang’s blow.

The four guards were instantly stunned on the spot, pausing their assault.

This baton, made of rubber with a steel pipe inside and coated with rubber, was highly destructive and extremely durable. Even if it were thrown on the ground and smashed with a stone, it might not deform.

Yet, Su Yang had just shattered it with a single hit, something they could not have even dreamed of.

All four were shocked, completely at a loss as to what had just happened. A rubber baton with a steel core had just exploded? Were they seeing ghosts?

”Go inside and tell Ying’er that Su Yang is here to see her!” Su Yang said with a heavy voice: ”I’m giving the Shangguan family some respect, but not much, so don’t provoke me again!”

The guards looked at each other, and the leader gritted his teeth and said, ”I’m not going to notify her, another one here to bully our Miss Ying’er. Let me tell you, no matter how good you are at fighting, what can you do about it? Today, you’re not getting through the Shangguan family’s door!”

Su Yang was startled: ”Bully Miss Ying’er?”

”Still playing dumb!” the leading guard yelled angrily: ”Do you think I don’t know? You’re just trying to see Miss Ying’er and insult her to her face. You might even be hiding something like a shit or piss packet on you, planning to throw it at our Miss Ying’er, right? I’m telling you, that’s impossible. Unless we’re dead, you won’t get a chance to insult our young lady!”
