Chen Chong was shocked. "Are you crazy? What is there to talk about with them? Just stay away from them."
Xu Chao disagreed. "A thief can keep stealing for a thousand days, but who can stay on guard against thieves for a thousand days? If we want to stop Sasaeng Fans from stalking us, we have to catch them and give them a good talking-to."
That actually made some sense!
Still, Chen Chong remained cautious, afraid the people behind them were out for revenge.
In the end, they both compromised.
Chen Chong agreed to wait by the roadside for the Sasaeng Fans.
Xu Chao agreed to call the police.
Chen Chong estimated how long the police car would take to arrive, then pulled over. Because he stopped so abruptly, by the time the black Volkswagen behind them reacted and slammed on its brakes, it ended up right in front of Xu Chao and the others.
Xu Chao leaped out, ran to the driver's side of the black Volkswagen, struck an incredibly cool pose, then curled his middle finger and knocked on the window.
"Little lady, being a Sasaeng Fan is..."
Halfway through his sentence, the dark window slowly lowered, revealing an elegant, refined, beautiful, and mature face.
This was clearly a wealthy lady who still retained her charm, not some young, naive girl!
What was going on? Were mature women this crazy about celebrities too?
Xu Chao choked on his words for a moment, then awkwardly corrected himself. "B-big sis, are you here to chase celebrities?"
The beautiful woman quietly studied the familiar face before her, a thin mist welling in her lovely almond-shaped eyes.
She slowly raised a hand to touch him. Her baby had finally come back.
The next second, Xu Chao sprang away, nimbly dodging her.
"Big sis, talking is free, but touching my face costs money!"
The beautiful woman blinked softly, and two crystal-clear tears slid from the corners of her eyes. Unable to hold back her emotions any longer, she pushed open the door and got out. "Chaochao!"
Her tears landed on the back of Xu Chao's hand, sending a chill across his skin. Inexplicably, his heart gave a painful twinge too.
It did not hurt all that much, but there was an aching fullness and a hint of an itch.
It even left Xu Chao feeling a little aggrieved and wanting to cry.
What was going on?!
Why was he having such strange feelings?
Before Xu Chao could figure it out, the wealthy lady's tears began falling like beads from a broken string, pattering down without stopping.
Xu Chao could no longer worry about anything else. Somewhat flustered, he said, "Pretty sis, don't cry! You just want to touch my face, right? I won't charge you. Go ahead, touch it, but no more crying afterward, okay?"
All the longing, tenderness, and guilt she had suppressed and stored in her heart for so long came pouring out at once. The beautiful woman could no longer contain herself. She opened her arms and hugged Xu Chao tightly.
Chen Chong saw this scene the moment he got out of the car.
"Officers, hurry and arrest her! She's the crazy Sasaeng Fan who's been tailing our car, and now she's forcing a hug on my artist!"
Because of the jungle murder case a few days earlier, Xu Chao had shot to stardom among the police. They admired his intelligence and courage while also worrying that he might face retaliation.
So the moment they received the call, the police took it very seriously and dispatched officers immediately.
"Don't move!"
"Release the hostage!"
"Hands up! Put down your weapon!"
Black gun barrels surrounded the two people in the middle from every direction.
The beautiful woman had never encountered anything like this before. Fright stopped the tears at the corners of her eyes, but her body instinctively moved in front of the young man at once. "Don't hurt Chaochao!"
Hearing those words and looking at the slender back shielding him, Xu Chao felt confused, yet an indescribable emotion welled up inside him too.
Who was she? Why had she followed him, and why was she protecting him?
"Ma'am, we're the police. Stay calm and let Mr. Xu go. If you don't, we'll have to use force."
Although he had not figured out who this woman was, she was definitely not a bad person!
Xu Chao hurriedly spoke up. "Wait, pretty sis isn't a bad person..."
"Rest assured, Comrade Xu Chao. We'll handle this impartially and make sure you get a proper resolution."
As soon as the words fell, they swiftly moved in!
Meanwhile, a trending topic took the internet by storm.
#Xu Chao forcibly hugged by a Sasaeng Fan
The attached picture showed the beautiful woman holding Xu Chao tightly, with Chen Chong beside them, his face contorted as he roared, and the police poised for action.
[Oh my god, Sasaeng Fans are seriously out of control these days. They actually dare to force hugs on celebrities in broad daylight. Does the law mean nothing anymore?!]
[Just look at his manager's face. You can tell how filthy his language was and how urgent the situation was.]
[Who is this crazy woman? She's gone way too far. Does she not understand keeping her distance from celebrities?!]
[Why does this Sasaeng Fan look a little familiar to me? She looks like that famous pianist!]
[Goddess Lin is preparing for her piano solo at the Continental Games opening ceremony. She has no time for random nobodies. Leave her out of this!]
[Please, Goddess Lin is elegant and refined. She appreciates high art. Why would she possibly chase after a vulgar entertainer like this?]
While the internet argued fiercely, things were lively offline too.
"Name."
"Lin Zhiya."
"Age."
"Secret."
The officer took a deep breath. "Ma'am, please cooperate. What is your relationship with the victim?"
Lin Zhiya, who had been the very picture of an aloof goddess just moments ago, immediately beamed at the mention of her son. "I'm his mother. He's my precious son."
The officer took another deep breath and reminded her sternly, "Ma'am, please cooperate."
Lin Zhiya was equally stern. "Sir, please listen carefully. Chaochao is my son."
