Chapter 137
Zhang Yang's retort was logical, clear, and perfectly polite, drawing great approval from the surrounding tourists!
*Clap, clap, clap...
"Well said! The young man said it well!"
"I'm from Sichuan Province, and they don't represent us!"
"Leave!"
"Leave!"
For a moment, the crowd was filled with righteous indignation!
They never expected this!
They, who had once dominated the neighborhood,
had now met a formidable opponent and were left speechless by his retorts!
The two women stood frozen in place, their faces flushed a liver-like purple from anger.
【Hahaha, I feel so satisfied instantly! Zhang Yang, you're truly a badass, your arguing skills are top-tier!】
【Zhang Yang is truly worthy of being the man who "argues with the heavens, the earth, and the Teddy," he lives up to his reputation!】
【Zhang Yang calling them "two powerhouses" almost made me lose it. They really are powerhouses, but in front of my Emperor Yang, they are nothing but ants!】
【Hahaha! Awesome!! Brother Yang has a new nickname: "Emperor Yang"!】
【Last time I saw someone cut in line, I tried to stop them and got scolded instead! As someone with social anxiety, I really wish I had a fraction of Emperor Yang's skill and the courage to talk back.】
【But I think that's enough. They were wrong to cut in line, but is it really appropriate for Zhang Yang to scold an old woman and a woman like that in the street?】
【Damn! That punch must have had at least twenty years of training behind it, that's impressive!】
【Super moderator, come quickly! Where did this "pastoral female pugilist" come from? Throw her out!】
【Throw her out!!!!】
Just as the term "pastoral female pugilist" appeared in the live stream,
a "living Bodhisattva" appeared on the scene!
Seeing the two women scolded into silence,
a few middle-aged women nearby couldn't sit still and wanted to step in as peacemakers to show off their own magnanimity!
"Young man, it's better to be forgiving when you can. They know they were wrong!"
"That's right, that's right. It's just cutting in line, no need to be so petty. A man should be more broad-minded."
Is cutting in line annoying?
It certainly is!
But Zhang Yang found those "living Bodhisattvas" who talk without feeling the pain even more annoying!
Don't they know the saying, "Do not urge others to be kind if you have not experienced their suffering"?
Zhang Yang forcefully suppressed Bai Lu, who was itching to jump into the fray.
Then, with a sharp gaze, he looked at the "living Bodhisattvas" with a smile and said:
"Ma'am, do you know the first half of 'it's better to be forgiving when you can'? I guess you don't. The first half is 'Since coming out of the cave, I have had no rivals'!"
"And have you never heard, 'Urging others to be magnanimous will get you struck by lightning'? Stay away from people who urge you to be magnanimous without knowing the situation, because when the lightning strikes them, it will implicate you too!"
The "living Bodhisattvas" were stunned on the spot, left speechless by his retort!
The young people around gave Zhang Yang a thumbs up!
"Well said! I support you!"
"That spoke right to my heart!"
"Damn!! You're Zhang Yang! Emperor Yang!"
The scene erupted into chaos; Zhang Yang's identity was completely exposed!
【It's me! It's me!! I just opened the live stream and found out I'm at the scene! I'm numb!】
【I'm so envious!! I'm in the back and can't even squeeze in! I'm dying!】
【Holy crap! Emperor Yang said it so well, he's killing it! A total massacre, he's gone super god!】
【The N great laws of urging others to be magnanimous in China: 'They're already here,' 'The person is already dead,' 'It's all in the past,' 'It's the New Year,' 'They're just a child,' 'Everyone has it hard,' 'It's no big deal,' 'Suffering a loss is a blessing'... 】
【'Since coming out of the cave, I have had no rivals, it's better to be forgiving when you can!' Another day of learning new things...】
【Well said! Do not urge others to be kind if you have not experienced their suffering!】
【These people use others' pain to show off their own magnanimity; it's naked hypocrisy.】
At this very moment!
The scene was filled with cheers!
"Zhang Yang! Zhang Yang!!"
More and more tourists flooded toward them, making the already crowded Meishijie even more packed!
Zhang Yang and Bai Lu looked at each other!
5.
With so many people surrounding them, they couldn't escape, they just couldn't!
Just then, the handsome officers in uniform arrived at the scene.
Help had arrived!
Zhang Yang sighed deeply in his heart; they were truly the people's own soldiers!
They always appear when the people need them!
Only then did everyone notice.
The two women who had been arguing had snuck away at some point!
After learning about the situation, the officer was also very surprised!
After receiving the report of the dispute, they had responded immediately,
but they hadn't expected Zhang Yang to have already scared the others away!
Since Zhang Yang had made the report and the other party was gone, the matter was considered closed!
As the crowd at the scene grew larger,
the officers had no choice but to escort Zhang Yang and Bai Lu away from the scene first!
This was already the second time!!
With the escort of the uniformed officers and young ladies,
Zhang Yang and Bai Lu escaped from the Food Street with ease!
They all looked at Zhang Yang and Bai Lu with strange expressions.
These two seemed incredibly practiced, cooperating even better than the celebrities they had encountered before.
This could even be considered Zhang Yang and Bai Lu's "second time in the station"!
Naturally, they were extremely familiar with it!
The scene at the location had ended, but the storm on the internet had only just begun.
In China, cutting in line is a common occurrence!
More than half of the people in China have encountered someone cutting in line.
Many people are heartbroken by such vile behavior, yet they feel helpless!
This incident instantly stirred up a huge uproar on the internet, and as it fermented further, it began to sweep across the entire web!
Zhang Yang's name, "Emperor Yang," spread across the internet along with it!
Countless media outlets, like sharks smelling blood, pounced on it rapidly.
In an instant, news online sprouted up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain!
