Chapter 569: Her confidence comes from her parents (2 updates)

Tang Su’s original plan was to go in and explain things to that lady, not for any other reason but because she had just lost her daughter.

Although she wasn’t a mother yet, she could understand the pain a mother feels after losing her cherished child.

She had cared for Little Douding for only a few short months, and when Douding went missing, she too felt sad and blamed herself for many days.

Besides, that woman had lost her baby forever.

"Miss Tang, there’s a problem here. Get in the car, and I’ll protect you," Longliu glared at the reporters and the internet celebrities, ready to fight at any moment.

"Miss Tang, please answer the question, do you know what that cat meant to Mrs. Wei’s daughter?"

"Yeah, Miss Tang, you don’t look like someone who’s short of money, right? May I ask, do you have some kind of hidden illness?"

"..."

Hidden illness?

This person was mocking her for having a compulsive cat-stealing disorder, right?

Tang Su had been ready to take Longliu’s advice, planning to keep the peace, get in the car first, and talk things over later.

"Are you a reporter or an internet celebrity? If you’re a reporter, show me your press card. If you’re an internet celebrity, dare to say your name?" Tang Su stared at those few people.

"Miss Tang, why be so infuriated? Isn’t this a little too much like trying to cover things up?"

In pursuit of fame, these internet celebrities, who linger year-round in the circles of online traffic, are very adept at sparking conflicts.

The questions they asked were also very sharp.

One mention of being ’infuriated,’ another of ’trying to cover up’—few words, but profound implications. For someone with an active mind, once they start imagining things, it can be quite striking.

Indeed, ’infuriated,’ ’trying to cover things up.’ What an apt use of words.

It’s just a shame that they’ve used it incorrectly this time.

"What am I covering up, and what am I angry about? Before you need me to answer your questions, is it so hard to show your press card? Or is it that you don’t have one, or it’s a fake?"

"Even police officers, when they come to us common folks to ask for cooperation with their investigations, the first thing they do is show their badge, letting people know that they’re on duty."

"As long as you show your press cards, and I confirm that this is your job, I will answer any questions you have, all right? If you don’t have press cards, and you expect me to answer your questions, who do you think you are?"

Facing those devices that were stretching towards her to capture her face, whether cameras, digital recorders, or smartphones, regardless of whether they were professional or not, Tang Su faced their lenses with composure, showing neither fear nor disturbance.

Based on her attitude alone, anyone who had eyes and wasn’t foolish should know whether she was the cat thief.

If she had really stolen a cat, could she be so composed and serene?

"Miss Tang, you... "

"Sir, I haven’t finished speaking yet. You’re so eager to interrupt, showing such lack of manners. Do your parents know about this?"

"This is a police station. I was notified to come here to cooperate with the investigation. You’re blocking my way into the station. What exactly are you trying to do?"

"No matter what purpose you have for asking me these questions today, you don’t need to worry. If the police ask me, I will surely give my answers. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go in and cooperate with their work."

"..."

Longliu was genuinely taken aback by Tang Su’s presence at that moment, this was the first time he’d experienced someone single-handedly taking on a crowd with such eloquence.

The people at Longmen were used to the principle that if they could take action, they’d never waste words. In their eyes, there were some people it wasn’t worth talking much to.

Some just didn’t understand human language. Speaking to them was a waste of breath.

"As for the things you’ve concocted in your minds, once I finish cooperating with the work, you’ll know whether it’s me who has a hidden ailment, or if it’s you who have some serious illness? The kind that’s too eager for fame."

"..."

Chasing hot topics was the professional stance expected of those working on the frontlines of breaking news.

Yet, Tang Su twisted it into them just wanting to grab attention, behaving this way solely for fame.

Tang Su’s sharp tongue had put many at a disadvantage.

But they forgot that the pointed questions they had just asked Tang Su were also a form of injury.

They aimed for the sore points to create conflict and buzz. The questions were good for them and the onlookers, but they never considered the perspective of the people involved.

They were successful in the past because they encountered easy targets, those who wanted to avoid the camera and sidestep the spotlight due to social anxiety.

Tang Su was neither a social cattle nor someone with social anxiety; she was the type who would fight back if wronged.

She wasn’t afraid of losing face; her parents had given her that confidence.

From a young age, her parents told her, "You don’t have to share toys you don’t want to, and you can choose not to listen to things you don’t want to hear."

When interacting with others, if someone made you uncomfortable, take a moment to reflect. If you feel you’ve done nothing wrong, then it must be the other person’s fault.

And with such people, there’s no need to associate any further.

At this moment, the mother of the little girl was blocking the staff at the police station. Finally, with everyone’s concerted efforts, they managed to calm down the particularly troublesome Mrs. Wei.

Officer He checked the time and realized that it was already past the time he had arranged to meet with Tang Su. Cursing his luck, he ran out to find Tang Su approaching with a smile, accompanied by Longliu.

Tang Su, seeing Officer He drenched in sweat, could roughly guess that Mrs. Wei was quite a force to be reckoned with, managing to hold off all the on-duty officers at the station by herself while arranging for journalists and internet celebrities to confront her outside.

What exactly did this woman want to do?

When had she offended her so gravely?

"Officer He, you’ve had a hard time. Where is Mrs. Wei?" Tang Su wanted to understand the real reason she was being treated this way, so she was eager to meet with the mother of the little girl—Mrs. Wei.

"She’s inside. Her mood isn’t very good. Today might not be the best day. Miss Tang, why don’t you go back first?"

"I’ve already come this far; let’s meet her anyway," Tang Su insisted.

Being able to pull off so much, she didn’t think it was a matter of the other party being in a bad mood. In fact, the other party was probably feeling quite pleased, waiting to see her flounder.

She really wanted to ask in person why she had to do this.

A simple matter, yet she turned it so complex?

What, capitalizing on a good moment to make a sensation on the internet with her daughter and a cat?

Tang Su didn’t want to think ill of a mother who had just lost her daughter, but she was provoked.

"Miss Tang, Mrs. Wei is not in a rational state of mind. I’m afraid she might hurt you," Officer He whispered to Tang Su.

Just now, it took so much effort by so many of them to subdue that woman. Since she wasn’t a criminal or a suspect, they couldn’t take excessively forceful measures.

Tang Su: "..."
