Chapter 1192: Zhang Ye gets arrested again!
Cheers!
Screams!
Applause!
Yells!
The entire auditorium was turned upside down!
"Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart" was from Zhang Ye\'s previous world and GALA\'s most famous song. It was an extremely difficult song to sing as its high notes were almost unreachable by most singers. It was even hard for GALA 1 \'s own lead vocalist. Other than Zhang Ye, everyone else\'s singing was appalling. They sang from their throats, with some of them even cracking or getting hoarse. There was even someone who sang the lyrics wrong. And yet, somehow, no one listening felt that their singing was bad. Instead, they were so shocked they felt it was even more touching than listening to those who sang with great technique. It was an indescribable feeling!
Some songs were probably not meant to be sung with a good voice!
They depended more on emotions and heart.
A pure heart?
"How awesome!"
"\'Destiny can\'t make us kneel and beg for mercy?\' The lyrics are really great!"
"Uncompromising through the years!"
"Alum!"
"Alumna!"
"Ahhhh!"
"This is the best live performance I\'ve ever heard!"
"Why are our alumnae crying too!"
Hu Feifei, Xiaoqian, and a few other girls were bawling on stage. In these few years since their graduation, they had been through too much. Treated with indifference? Setbacks? Hardship? Derision? They did not know how they made it through to where they were now. They never thought that they would be able to gather here again one day and do something so crazy, and also perform such an amazing song!
Several teachers in the audience were sighing.
A former teacher of theirs said, "These children have all grown up."
But another teacher said, "They\'ve not grown up at all."
Su Hongyan smiled and said, "Yes, they\'re still the same as they were back then. I\'ve never in my life advised a class of students that gave me a headache as bad as they did!"
A female teacher laughed and said, "It\'s now other people\'s turn to have a headache over them!"
The performance was over!
The Welcoming Ceremony also came to an end!
Zhang Ye and the others headed backstage.
Wang He said, "That was so cool!"
Da Hui laughed heartily. "I feel like my throat has been split open!"
"That was fun!" Old Wang shouted. "Exciting!"
Ma Xufei said, "We haven\'t let ourselves loose in so many years!"
Hu Feifei gave a wry smile and said, "For that bit I sang, Xiaoqian had to teach me for so long while we were in the car. But I still couldn\'t remember all the lyrics and even sang a line wrong, didn\'t I?"
"Perhaps my hands are clumsier than my feet."
That line was sung as "Perhaps my mouth is clumsier than my feet."
Zhang Ye said happily, "It\'s fine. That line suited you more, so it\'s pretty good."
Yu Yingyi rejoiced, "I had such a kickass time singing today!"
Zhang Ye whistled to get everyone\'s attention and said, "We\'ve finished singing. So let\'s not keep those people waiting anymore. Let\'s move out, fellas!"
"Let\'s go."
"Yeah, let\'s go!"
"Haha!"
"Time to depart!"
"Whoa, what do you mean by time to depart? That sounds so pessimistic!"
"Then what should I call it?"
"We\'re just surrendering ourselves."
"That sounds even worse!"
"We should say that we\'re martyring ourselves instead!"
"Man, you guys are going off on a tangent."
There was no hesitation from everyone as they walked outside in laughter.
A group of police officers were standing outside, not knowing what to do.
A policeman asked, "Brother Li, do we go inside to arrest them?"
The old policeman rolled his eyes. "If we do that at this time, the students will definitely prevent us from leaving."
"Then what do we do?"
"What if they escape? We can\'t—"
"Yeah, we can\'t wait around anymore!"
While they were discussing, the police officers suddenly turned their heads in surprise when they saw Zhang Ye, Dong Shanshan, Hu Feifei, and the others walking towards them in laughter. The police officers couldn\'t react to this sight. What was going on?
Zhang Ye said, "Sorry about that, officers."
Yu Yingyi said, "We\'ll be going with you now."
Liu Tie put out his hands. "Do we need to be cuffed?"
Old Wang blinked and said, "Does this count as turning ourselves in?"
The police officers looked at one another. "Aren\'t you guys going to run?"
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "We\'ve finished singing and done what we needed to do, so why do we need to run?" Then he looked at two of the police officers and said in surprise, "Why do you two look a little familiar?"
The two of them didn\'t know whether to laugh or cry. "Because we\'ve arrested you before."
Hu Feifei laughed, "Pfft!"
Dong Shanshan and everyone else were also giggling.
"Ah? When?" Zhang Ye was taken aback.
The police officers said, "A few years ago, you beat up someone at Beijing TV. That case was handled by our police station. Even now, the little dark room has that poem you wrote while you were in there."
Zhang Ye said endearingly, "Oh, my old friends."
The police officers gave bitter smiles. Who are your old friends? Can\'t you give us less trouble to deal with? They really did not want to arrest Zhang Ye, not to mention Dong Shanshan and Yu Yingyi this time as well. Thinking back to when Zhang Ye was not as famous as he was now, he alone had almost single-handedly turned the police station upside down. There were so many reporters and citizens who nearly flattened their police station to the ground. Just that memory alone made them fearful.
But they still had to handle the case.
One of the police officers sighed. "Get in the car then."
Zhang Ye nodded. "Let\'s go."
The group of them rowdily followed.
Driving back, the police still felt worried that this group of people would try to escape. They were on full alert to prevent that from happening. After all, Zhang Ye had once created trouble for them at their station. But by the time their police cars arrived back at the station, there were no tricks from Zhang Ye and the others. They did not even kick up a fuss or complain about anything. Instead, they were all very calm and cooperative.
But unbeknownst to them, Zhang Ye had already accepted this outcome.
The last time he was arrested, it was because he had been a good samaritan. It was Beijing Television\'s Wang Shuixin\'s son who tried to hit others first that made Zhang Ye hit him in retaliation. He didn\'t find that to be wrong, so of course he wasn\'t happy about getting arrested. He definitely had to reason with them as he was not at fault and just did it in self-defense. However, Zhang Ye and the others knew that they were definitely in the wrong this time. It was definitely an offense to beat up other people, so they did not argue against it!
When it was time to admit that he was in the wrong, he would do so!
When he had to answer to his responsibilities, he would never run away!

A video of the Welcoming Ceremony at Media College was uploaded to the internet!
"Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart" went viral!
"It\'s great!"
"The lyrics are awesome!"
"Who wrote this song?"
"Idiot, it was definitely Zhang Ye!"
"They sang great!"
"Shanshan also knows how to sing? I have a crush on her!"
"Haha, Yu Yingyi was there too!"
"All of Zhang Ye\'s classmates were there?"
"Their friendship is really admirable."
"So that was what their youth was like! To keep running forward!"
"I could feel my blood race when I listened to the song! It\'s so intense!"
Not long after, breaking news struck!
It came with nearly no warning or anticipation!
"Newsflash: Zhang Ye Arrested!"
"Dong Shanshan and Yu Yingyi were taken away to the police station on suspicion of taking part in a gang fight!"
"Zhang Ye, Dong Shanshan, and others involved in a gang fight!"
This news came like a crash of thunder. It exploded across China, and anyone who heard of it very nearly vomited blood the moment they found out!
They had been arrested?
A gang fight?
Countless people fainted on the spot!
If it were just Zhang Ye involved in the gang fight, we\'d believe it. Just at the recent Olympics, he beat up those foreign referees. This fellow would always stir up some trouble every now and then, so we\'ve gotten used to it!
But what are you guys saying now?
Dong Shanshan?
Yu Yingyi?
Those two were involved in a gang fight?
Fuck that! Did you get it wrong?
They are our goddesses, come on!
On Weibo.
"My titanium dog eyes are blinded!"
"Mine too! Oh, my goddess Shanshan!"
"What the fuck, what gang fight?"
"Is this fake news?"
"It\'s definitely not fake news, but what really happened?"
"Yeah, why did it happen?"
"Zhang Ye is used to getting into fights, but how could Dong Shanshan and Yu Yingyi have fought as well? Something must\'ve happened, and it must have been a major issue!"
"Zhang Ye, your sister!"
"Bringing our goddesses to a gang fight? Only you would do something like that!"
"Our goddesses have been led astray by you!"
