Later that afternoon.
The news had spread far and wide!
…
At Central TV.
“What?”
Zhang Ye smashed a car?”
“The bulletproof glass got shattered?”
“Holy shit!”
“Hurry, hurry, line this up for the news report!”
…
At an entertainment company.
“What did you say?”
“Zhang Ye went there to cause trouble?”
“How is that possible!”
“Face-smacking Zhang has made another move?”
…
Lee Anson’s team.
“Holy fuck!”
“Zhang Ye!”
“That damned hooligan!”
“He did it on purpose! It was deliberate!”
“He’s forcing us into a corner!”
“Bastard! He’s so awful!”
“This is bad news! It’s terrible this time!”
…
The news of Lee Anson’s endorsed car brand having its bulletproof window smashed overwhelmed the media!
On Weibo, the forums, newspapers, and television, it was getting reported everywhere. Some of them even carried videos and pictures of the scene!
The public burst into an uproar!
The netizens were crazily happy!
“I knew it! I knew it!”
“Zhang Ye still made a move in the end!”
“Hahahaha, I should’ve known that this fellow couldn’t have such a good temper!”
“Bulletproof glass? How did he manage to smash it?”
“Who knows? He must have resorted to some kind of trickery!”
“Yeah, that’s not glass that can be broken with brute strength alone!”
“Who’s that pretty lady?”
“That’s Zhang Ye’s agent. Her name is Rao Aimin!”
“She’s so cool! My goddess!”
“Are they all animals?! How did they shatter bulletproof glass with their bare hands?”
“Teacher Zhang is going to be on fire again!”
“Who said that Face-smacking Zhang has toned down just because he’s going to be a father? Who said that? Stand forward now. I guarantee I won’t beat you to death! Isn’t he still the same as before!”
“Hahaha, he’s going to be like this all his life!”
“This fellow’s fearless attitude has got nothing at all to do with him becoming a father. His wickedness is ingrained in his soul! He won’t change even if he has 10 children!”
“It’s another face smacking!”
“They’ve all been smacked swollen and bruised!”
“This car brand is really too fucking unlucky. Of all people, why did they have to get Lee Anson to endorse them? Idiots!”
“The quality of this car is really not that good either.”
“Face-smacking Zhang has brought smacking faces to a whole new level!”
“I just love seeing Teacher Zhang smack faces!”
The clamor was still growing. Such heated discussions usually wouldn’t die down so quickly after blowing up. The event was too shocking, because no one had ever encountered something like this before. It was very fresh to them! If you were to say that Zhang Ye had gone to someone’s store and destroyed the place, everyone could imagine something like that. If you were to say that Zhang Ye had slashed someone’s tires, everyone could also imagine that. But to shatter the bulletproof glass window of someone’s car when that someone was hyping up their smash one, get one free car event with amazing claims? What normal person could do something like that? What normal person would even think of something like that!
Only Zhang Ye!
Only someone like him who didn’t play his cards logically would do something like that!
From the public.
To the industry insiders.
As well as the media.
And even among Zhang Ye’s family and friends.
Each and every one of them who saw the news was shocked!
Soon, the car company issued an emergency PR announcement to clarify the issue. Their cars’ quality was not an issue. After the incident took place, they did an emergency inspection and found that their employees had deployed the wrong vehicle model for the event. The few cars that they brought over were not their flagship bulletproof cars, but an almost identical model of it, thus causing the misunderstanding.
“So it was because they had brought over the wrong cars!”
“But of course. How could Face-smacking Zhang have that kind of strength!”
“That’s still very strong. Two strikes of the palm were all he needed to shatter an ordinary pane of tempered glass? What normal person could do that? Unless they have extraordinary strength!”
“Did they really bring the wrong vehicle model?”
“Why am I not at all convinced?”
“Right, didn’t they also get the other people to use baseball bats to smash the glass before that? If it was ordinary tempered glass, it would have shattered in just one hit. Even if not, two hits would suffice, wouldn’t it?”
“Who knows if they’re telling the truth.”
“This car company has a previous track record of cheating consumers in China. They’ve got a spotty history, so I wouldn’t take their word for it!”
Everyone discussed and analyzed the matter for the entire day and could only come to two conclusions. The first was that there was definitely something wrong with the quality of the glass on the vehicles provided by the car brand. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Zhang Ye and his agent to smash it. The second reason was that Zhang Ye had used some trick to shatter the bulletproof glass. However, no one knew what trick it was and none of them could come up with a suitable conclusion even after studying it for a long time.
…
China.
Beijing.
The Korean car brand’s branch office.
Everyone in the company was worried. They were so worried that their faces had turned green!
At this moment, the Korean head office’s staff arrived in a hurry. When they found the person in charge of this event, they started scolding him.
“What’s going on with you!”
“Sorry, President Kim!”
“Do you know how greatly this matter has affected us? Do you know how much the company stands to lose as a result of this? We’re likely to lose the entire Chinese market!”
“But I—”
“You what? What excuse can you still have! You can’t even handle a simple event like this and mixed up the regular model for the bulletproof one! What the hell is wrong with you!”
That supervisor burst into tears. “But I didn’t get it wrong.”
The people from the head office were taken aback. “What do you mean?”
The supervisor immediately brought them over to the garage where the two smashed cars had been shipped back to.
The head office’s staff went up to have a look.
The interior.
The outer shape of the car.
The thickness of the glass windows.
The regular model and the bulletproof model were different from each other.
They were stunned. “This…isn’t this the latest bulletproof car model?”
The supervisor said, “Yes, we only said that we brought in the wrong car model as an emergency PR!”
President Kim was stunned as he pointed at the bulletproof glass. “Are you saying that those two really managed to shatter our bulletproof glass?”
The supervisor said, “Yes, they really managed to do it!”
President Kim cursed like a sailor in Korean.
How did they do it?
Just how the fuck did they manage to do it?
…
The outside world was in an uproar.
At this moment, only the Chinese martial arts world was in a state of calm.
Shaolin Monastery.
“Martial Uncle, did you watch the video yet?”
“I’ve seen it already.”
“Zhang Ye is—”
“Yes, he has almost fully mastered the use of his concealed power.”
“Then he’s not far from becoming a grand—”
“I’m afraid he’s almost there.”
“How much longer?”
“That’s not a realm I can fathom. If he’s fast, then two or three years. If he’s slow, maybe eight or nine years. Who can say for sure?”
Many people in the Chinese martial arts world had seen the video as well.
The small sects.
The large sects.
The non-affiliates.
All of them knew better.
Seeing the commoners on the Internet guessing what kinds of methods Zhang Ye had used, and guessing whether there was a problem with the quality of the glass, they could only shake their heads in resignation. From the strength he applied through his hands, the shaking of the car, and many other details, they could all see that it really was bulletproof glass. Although it might not meet military standards, the lowest grade of bulletproof glass was more than enough. This had nothing to do with the glass. It was a problem with the people.
This car company was really unlucky!
In the world today, there were no more than eight people who could shatter bulletproof glass with their bare hands—but Rao Aimin and Zhang Ye were two of them!
