He sneakily moved the young man whose hands and feet were tied into the car. As soon as Father Xiang went out, he met with Xiang Chenjin, who had just entered the door, and immediately felt a shiver in his heart.
But after he saw that it was his son, he immediately changed his tone: “Still not coming to help!”
“Father, you……” Xiang Chenjin was also stunned by the actions of Father Xiang. He looked down at the sleeping Xiang Chenyu and looked at Father Xiang with uncertainty.
Father Xiang’s face was gloomy: “Come here quickly. If we sell this kid, our family will be saved. You are still the youngest son of the Xiang family. Otherwise, when this kid wakes up, you and I are dead!”
Seeing that Xiang Chenjin was still frozen, Father Xiang said in a cold voice: “Do you want him to point out that it was you who took his music?”
The words finally touched Xiang Chenjin, who threw down the violin in his hand and ran into the driver’s seat, while Father Xiang stayed in the back seat of the car to prevent Xiang Chenyu from suddenly waking up.
On the night of this situation, the online controversy about Xiang Chenyu and Xiang Chenjin became more and more heated and showed no signs of subsiding.
At this time, Xiang Chenyu, as one of the parties involved, suddenly published a statement on his homepage, confessing his sins. In this statement, Xiang Chenyu not only admitted that he took the music of Xiang Chenjin to participate in the competition but also said that he was sorry for the teaching of the Xiang family and had no face to stay in the music industry.
He said he wanted to quit the music industry and give up his violin.
Once this statement came out, it did not calm down the incident as Father Xiang thought it would but instead stirred up a thousand waves with one stone.
Because just a few minutes ago, the famous violinist Rosef reposted an obscure message that just proved that Xiang Chenyu was the actual owner of that piece of music.
The information comes from an old professor at the Conservatory of Music. This professor has an international reputation, but people in China only know his name and have not had close contact with him.
Everyone knows, however, that this professor is an outstanding musician and has taught two famous violinists, Rosef and Turris. In his old age, he turned to study music theory and slowly faded from the limelight. But recently, he was hired as an honorary professor by the Capital Conservatory of Music and stayed in the country for about a month or so.
This professor’s words have absolute authority but suffered from the lack of heat, so it was only after being forwarded by Rosef that he received the crowd’s attention.
On this professor’s personal homepage, a picture was first put up. It was a photo of an unfinished score that had been roughly torn out of the scorebook and pathetically posted on the public board.
From the background, it looks like a bulletin board in front of the auditorium of the Conservatory of Music. Moreover, the shadows of several smiling and unsuspecting students are faintly reflected on the glass of the bulletin board, which appears unusually clear in the photo.
Rosef has many followers, and he himself is a judge of the music competition, so he was also involved in this plagiarism incident. There are many people who are concerned about his movement and his comments about Xiang Chenyu.
So, Rosef has reposted this message, and within a few minutes, the number of views grew quickly.
When netizens saw this picture posted by the professor, they were a bit confused at first, but those who were interested immediately compared the scores presented to the competition by Xiang Chenyu and Xiang Chenjin after the competition with the scores on this picture and immediately realized that the scores were basically the same as the pieces played by the two contestants in the final.
In the text part of this blog, the professor first asked his student, Turris, to confirm that Xiang Chenjin had only mentioned the inspiration for this piece to him on July 1 and that he had composed it with his help. Then, the professor himself confirmed that he had photographed an unfinished version of the score in the auditorium as early as June 20.
But it’s just a photo! There is no definite time, not even the creator’s signature, so what can it prove?
Netizens have sent their own questions, but the professor responded with this.
“You don’t have to suspect me of making up the time because I took this score by chance from a very sensational event that everyone in the conservatory should know about. It was a campus bullying incident where the owner of this score, Xiang Chenyu, was targeted by a group of ill-intentioned students. They took away his sheet music, tore it down, and posted it on the bulletin board. At the same time, they took away his violin and insulted him.”
The professor’s words had stirred up an uproar, and Xiang Chenyu’s fans even exploded instantly.
Because not only did he justify who the original creator of the score was, but he also told them that the cute Little Feather had suffered such an attack in school!
But the professor’s words didn’t end there. He attached the score that he had picked up from Xiang Chenjin’s performance and compared it with the one he had taken, which already proved that the piece Xiang Chenjin used for the competition, “Hell”, came entirely from this half-finished piece.
As if he didn’t mind the commotion his words had caused, the professor once again unveiled another thing. That is, when the school was investigating that school bullying incident, a number of students pointed the finger at Xiang Chenjin, claiming that they were provoked by him.
However, when the school wanted to give Xiang Chenjin disciplinary action, Xiang Chenyu, who was the victim, personally pleaded with the school, and thus did not damage the reputation of the student Xiang Chenjin.
At this time, under this topic, Father Xiang’s statement, Xiang Chenjin’s words expressing pain, and the professor’s statement forwarded by Rosef, were all listed at the top of the topic, forming an ironic three-legged pose.
Just when almost everyone was about to be blinded by Father Xiang and Xiang Chenjin’s attitude, it was unexpected that such a truth was revealed!
The real creator of the piece is Xiang Chenyu, who completed the first half of the piece as early as June 20. And the real plagiarist, Xiang Chenjin, not only took the half-finished piece directly onto the stage but also joined forces with his own father to stain the real victim?
Now, when remembering the righteous and innocent words of Xiang Chenjin when he rushed to the stage at the final, a wave of anger of being cheated surged in the hearts of his supporters.
The netizens who had first read the statement of Father Xiang and angrily called Xiang Chenyu a white-eyed wolf all felt a hot pain in their faces when they saw the truth revealed by the professor.
The wind shifted sharply, and the original remarks, which were all in favor of the Xiang family and Xiang Chenjin, turned again.
Xiang Chenjin planned the school bullying incident to deal with his brother and took away his brother’s music score for the competition at the same time. While Xiang Chenyu, the victim, instead pleaded with the school to preserve Xiang Chenjin’s reputation?
Father Xiang, who has always looked like a loving father, spoke out directly in support of his own son at the time while pretending to speak for his adopted son in a tone that was really disgusting.
Xiang Chenjin could have never dreamed that it was his own scheming in the beginning that uncovered his last disguise. If Xiang Chenjin had not planned the school bullying incident by himself, the professor would not have seen this piece of music. There would not have been anyone who could prove that this piece was originally written by Xiang Chenyu.
The image created by Father Xiang and Xiang Chenjin over the years was torn to shreds.
Students who were close to Xiang Chenjin began to get nervous, and they all voiced their doubts on social media platforms.
[Xiang Chenjin has been a good brother ah……also helped Xiang Chenyu before. F-ck, don’t be all pretend ah……]
[Before that, Xiang Chenyu made trouble several times, saying that Xiang Chenjin took away his music. I just want to ask, is this true or not?]
The heat of the incident kept rising, and the conflict about the family provoked outsiders outside the music circle to come and see the fun. However, a few minutes after Xiang Chenyu’s sincere apology statement came out, the fans who learned the truth and flocked to his personal page to comfort him were scared to death.
With its earnest and dejected words, the statement completely baffled the netizens who were concerned about the matter and even detected some disturbing taste in it.
[What’s going on? Haven’t you already been proven innocent, Little Feather? Why do you want to say you’re wrong?]
[Little Feather, come out and answer us!]
[Is it really Little Feather who made this statement? He said in his only interview that the violin was the most beautiful thing in his life. How could he give it up?]
[Is the family forcing him? After all, an adopted son is an adopted son, wasn’t Xiang Liyan defending Xiang Chenjin in his earlier statement?]
Xiang Chenyu’s fans quickly topped the message he posted, lining it up with the statements of the previous few, but at this point, it became clear to netizens that there was a blatant conspiracy.
That professor’s involvement in this matter was obviously unexpected. If he hadn’t revealed the truth, Father Xiang would have issued a statement pointing out Xiang Chenyu’s wrongdoings first, and then Xiang Chenyu would have personally apologized and announced his retirement from the music industry.
Then, this young man could completely disappear from the public eye!
[Ahhhhhhh! What the hell is going on? What happened to Little Feather to admit to the dirty water thrown at him!]
[Little Feather, don’t be afraid. You can come out. The Xiang family doesn’t want you, but we will raise you……]
However, no matter how the fans call out, the young man who just released a statement seemed to have evaporated and was nowhere to be seen. At the same time, Xiang Chenjin and his father did not respond to the attacks from netizens.
Xiang Chenjin and Father Xiang are still unaware of what is happening online. They are in a mood of both nervousness and excitement to completely drain the boy’s value and sell him into a dark underground casino.
As soon as they arrived at the casino, Father Xiang looked for a side entrance to move the boy from the back seat of the car. He and Xiang Chenjin worked together to carry the boy into the casino but did not see that not far from them, someone was hidden in the shadows. The scene was filmed in its entirety, especially the faces of Xiang Chenjin and Father Xiang were clearly captured.
After carrying the boy into the casino and having the casino staff take over, Xiang Chenjin quickly retreated. He did not care about his father at all and quickly started the car to leave.
At this moment, Xiang Chenjin’s heart seemed to jump out of the chest. No matter how much he loathed Xiang Chenyu, he was still a young man of less than 20 years old, and now he is committing this kind of crime.
But at the same time, there is a kind of inexplicable comfort in his mind, so he can not stop curling the corners of his mouth.
From now on, there will be no more Xiang Chenyu in this world. No one will snatch things from him anymore!
On the other side, Father Xiang and the casino staff carried Xiang Chenyu from the side entrance to go upstairs. However, Father Xiang found that the route they took was not secretive enough. There were constantly casino guests around to bet curious eyes on them.
But the casino staff looked calm as if there was nothing wrong, which made Father Xiang put down his heart.
At this time, in the corridor, two young people were walking while talking about something with their phones.
“Did you read the news? A shocking reversal has happened. It’s said that there are fans who are worried and have called the police.”
Another person replied, “Tch, this kind of crap has happened. This family is quite good.”
Father Xiang turned his back and curiously listened to the two young people talking but did not have a clue with what he heard. But then, the originally sleeping teenager suddenly woke up. He somehow managed to break free from the rope around his hands and reached out to pull one of the two young men who had passed by them.
“Help me!” The young man’s eyes widened as he pleaded for help but was immediately covered by the casino thug behind him, restraining his hands.
“Ugh!” The youth struggled with great force, and the beater holding him was bitter in his heart.
Damn, he received the news that this boy is valuable. A hair can not be lost, or the boss will have to kill him!
But he had to take the boy over, and it was not difficult for him to do so.
At this time, Father Xiang, who was uncomfortable with the noisy Xiang Chenyu, gave a slap towards the teenager’s face: “What are you screaming for! You deserve to be like this now. It’s time for you to pay your debt!”
The thug was so frightened that he immediately turned around and blocked Father Xiang’s slap. He shouted in anger towards Father Xiang: “What are you doing? Follow me and go. If you attract more people, I’ll kill you!”
The three left in a hurry once again. However, the two young men who were pulled by Qing Yun earlier froze in place and could not calm down for a long time.
“F-ck! Did you see it clearly? It’s Xiang Chenyu.” One of them said in a trance, obviously still unable to accept the current situation.
“Um, I saw it. The other one is Xiang Liyan, Xiang Chenyu’s adoptive father.”
Saying that, the two looked at each other and exclaimed, “Actually sold him?”
“Quickly, quickly, post the news. This is big news!”
Netizens who have been searching for Xiang Chenyu online have topped the topic #LookingforLittleFeather and have been refreshing the posts under this topic at any time.
Suddenly a new piece of information popped up, immediately catching people’s eyes.
[Xiang Chenyu was sold to a casino by his adoptive father!]
This message was carefully attached with coordinates, and those who knew about it immediately topped the post.
[This place? That’s possible. Those who have been there should know that this casino runs a music competition, and there is said to be a serious shortage of contestants.]
[I’m at this place right now, and I think I saw someone carrying an unconscious guy in.]
[Would I say that I have seen Xiang Liyan here more than once?]
These endless streams of news scared Xiang Chenyu’s fans straight to death. Their idol was sold into an underground casino by his adoptive father? Isn’t this a plot that only happens in TV dramas?
Previously, there were still people who suspected that Xiang Liyan was actually innocent but was only deceived by his own son Xiang Chenjin. But now, I’m afraid that everything is the plan of this moral “adoptive father”.
[F-ck! For real, being sold into a casino? That’s a crime, right? Someone really dares to do that?]
[There must be someone taking this incident to generate buzz! It’s all fake, it’s all just a joke. Little Feather is definitely safe now…… God, I hope he is definitely safe……]
[The news scared me, and now my hands are still shaking while typing.]
[I hope it’s fake, but I’ve already called the police, in case it’s true.]
[Little Feather was called a white-eyed wolf and plagiarist before, and then he was sold into a casino by his own adoptive father. I now fully understand how he was able to compose a piece like “Dreaming of Paradise”. I hope he is safe and sound.]
[I have also called the police. I hope that more people and the police will pay attention to it! Pray for Little Feather!]
The previous anger caused by Xiang Chenyu and Xiang Chenjin has disappeared, and the hostile comments on the screen have been replaced by various words of prayer. Perhaps some people are still hanging on to the speculation that this is just hype, but more people are sincerely praying for Xiang Chenyu.
They love his music, and they love this poor, warm young man.
The Internet was in chaos. Mother Xiang, who was concerned about the situation, had been calling Xiang Liyan. But now, Father Xiang was not thinking about anything else. His eyes could only see the sign of money. He looked at Xiang Chenyu with an expression as though he was looking at a pile of gold coins.
“Call your boss to come here. I’ll talk to him about the price.” Father Xiang smoked a cigarette while speaking to the thug and pointed to the tied-up Xiang Chenyu, “See that? That is the person who played “Flowing Water” and “Concerto in D Major”. This is definitely a valuable item. If you take it in, you can earn a lot of money!”
The thug glanced at Father Xiang, with a gaze that was both disdainful and mixed with some sympathy, as if looking at a poor wretch who was dying and didn’t know it.
But on the surface, he nodded his head respectfully in agreement and then walked out of the room as if he was really going to find the boss.
“You’re committing a crime!” The sober Xiang Chenyu on the couch said toward Father Xiang, “Where exactly have I offended you that would make you hate me enough to sell me to this place?”
“Offended?” The smoking Father Xiang laughed. The laugh did not sound like it came from a musician’s mouth, it was coarse and hateful, “You didn’t offend me. You just came to pay your debt!”
“The Xiang family has raised you for so many years. It’s time for you to pay back. Have you forgotten how much money I spent when I adopted you to fund that orphanage?”
Hearing Father Xiang mention the orphanage again, the teenager finally seemed to be unable to resist. He began to speak in a tone of disbelief. He was a little angry, but not hateful: “Mr. Xiang, you made me lose hearing in my left ear and took away the money I earned from my part-time job, isn’t that enough? I can pay you back the money you spent!”
“Hearing in the left ear?” Hearing Xiang Chenyu mention this, Father Xiang instead laughed out loud, “I forgot about that. You are also very lucky to have made it through so many times. Fortunately, you were not killed at that time. Otherwise, I would have lost money now.”
With that, he lowered his face again and threatened Xiang Chenyu: “Listen, don’t mention your ear to the boss here later, or else it will pull down the price, and I’ll have to show you.”
Father Xiang walked up to Chenyu, pulled his hair, and threatened, “You should know that even if you are sold, I am still the one benefiting behind you. From now on, you will have to work for me and make money for the rest of your life, so be good for me.”
By now, Father Xiang was already a bit agitated. He paced around in a circle and yelled towards the door, “Where is the boss? Call your boss over here!”
Suddenly, a man’s voice came from the room. This voice was suppressed with the most extreme anger. It was life-threatening, as if it came out of hell, and it made Father Xiang shiver.
“You are looking for me?”
At this time, the glossy wall in the room slowly rose up. Father Xiang turned his head in surprise to look over and saw that behind the wall was another private room. Inside the room stood a line of people, and the only man sitting on the sofa was looking at him with an unspeakably fierce gaze.
