Chapter 71: News Figures (Part 2)

  After the news of Tang Xiaosheng donating clothes to orphanages and nursing homes was reported, public opinion quickly became one-sided, with most people affirming Tang Xiaosheng's behavior. Although there were still some comments attempting to discredit Tang Xiaosheng, their influence was negligible.

  The public's eyes are clear and they would rather believe in what they see than comments full of personal speculation.

  Tang Xiaosheng picked up 1 million and handed it in, which is a fact. Tang Xiaosheng donated 200 sets of children's clothing to the orphanage, which is a fact. Tang Xiaosheng also donated 200 sets of clothes to the nursing home, which is a fact. After doing these good deeds, Tang Xiaosheng did not want to reveal his name, which is also a fact.

  No matter how commentators vilify, it cannot be changed.

  Although Long Tianhao continued to bribe some media reporters, letting them continue to smear Tang Xiaosheng in various ways, he found that the effect was minimal. After such comments were made, no one paid attention to them at all.

  More and more people are no longer discussing whether Tang Xiaosheng is a good person or a bad person, but have begun to take an interest in his private life. Because too many strange things happened on Tang Xiaosheng's body, they were very curious about what kind of environment such a person grew up in, and even more curious about how he and Long Xiaoxue's love began.

  In the following days, many journalists also worked hard to gather materials around this topic, and they were indeed all-powerful, finding a lot of information about Tang Xiaosheng's life experience.

  A journalist learned from an old Chinese doctor at the Nanyang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Jinghua City that Long Xiaoxue suffered from stomach disease, and Tang Xiaosheng once took her to see a doctor, carrying her from Jiayuan Community to Nanyang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, and then carried her back from Nanyang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital to Jiayuan Community.

  The property management of Jia Yuan Xiaoqu also confirmed that this was indeed the case. On that day, the elevator in the community just happened to be out of order, and Tang Xiaosheng carried Long Xiaoxue from the first floor to the fifteenth floor on his back.

  A traffic police officer responsible for patrolling the Xi'erhuan Road told reporters that he once saw Tang Xiaosheng riding a bicycle with Long Xiaoxue on the Second Ring Road. At the time, Tang Xiaosheng rode his bike up a steep slope, and although their bikes were very old, the two seemed to be having a great time.

  A female salesperson in the clothing section of Walmart said to the reporter that Tang Xiaosheng was really good to Long Xiaoxue. He once took Long Xiaoxue to the mall to buy down jackets, at which time Long Xiaoxue seemed reluctant to spend money and didn't want to buy them, but Tang Xiaosheng insisted on buying them. The salesperson said that when she took Long Xiaoxue to the fitting room to try on clothes, she saw a happy expression all over her face.

  In Jinghua City Film and Television City, reporters also learned from some extras that Tang Xiaosheng and Long Xiaoxue had a very good relationship. They had seen Long Xiaoxue personally deliver lunch to the crew for Tang Xiaosheng, making many actors jealous. They still remembered that when Long Xiaoxue brought lunch to Tang Xiaosheng, it was braised duck and tomato scrambled eggs.

  ……

  Some trivial matters about Tang Xiaosheng and Long Xiaoxue were dug up by media reporters bit by bit. These reporters are not idle, but they found that such reports have a very high click-through rate, so they are tireless.

  The most worrying news, however, comes from the Beijing News Weekly. A reporter from this newspaper somehow managed to investigate and find out that Tang Xiaosheng single-handedly went to Nanfeng Mountain and rescued Guo Yixiang from five kidnappers. The reporter even personally found Public Security Bureau Deputy Director Bao Zhiming to confirm the matter.

  Deputy Director Bao Zhiming said bluntly that at the time, Guo Yixiang was kidnapped by five kidnappers in Nanfeng Mountain and her life or death was unknown. Later, Tang Xiaosheng risked his life to meet with the kidnappers alone in Nanfeng Mountain, and relying on his excellent personal abilities, not only rescued Guo Yixiang but also subdued the five kidnappers. For this, the Public Security Bureau had awarded Tang Xiaosheng the "Advanced Individual for Bravery" banner.

  Bao Zhiming also stated that Tang Xiaosheng's heroic deeds were not limited to this incident, but considering Tang Xiaosheng's personal safety, the matter was not made public.

  The heroic story of Tang Xiaosheng's battle with the kidnappers was reported by the media, which also shocked many people. Because of the reports about Tang Xiaosheng, one surprise after another gave people unexpected surprises, feeling more incredible than watching a TV series.

  From the beginning, everyone thought he was just an extra; later, the police suspected him of being a suspect in Xia Bai's murder case; a few days later, the procuratorate claimed that he was mentally ill; soon after, the media discovered that he was Long Xiaoxue's boyfriend; then, he was a part-time construction worker and dishwasher; next, he was an advanced element who picked up gold without hesitation; again, he was also a donor to nursing homes and orphanages; now, surprisingly, he is also the winner of the "See Justice and Brave Award" for his clever fight against the kidnappers.

  The public's image of Tang Xiaosheng has undergone constant changes, from murderer to mentally ill person, to inspirational loser, and then to good man, and now it is almost elevated to the height of a hero.

  Many people can't help but wonder: What other unknown things are behind Tang Xiaosheng? What kind of person is he, after all?

  Before the answer was revealed, no one knew, but Tang Xiaosheng won many fans because of this. Many people felt that he was a bit unfathomable after reading all the reports about Tang Xiaosheng, as if there was an elusive mystery, and they always felt that he seemed to be hiding something.

  It was with this idea that in the following days, Jinghua City Mental Hospital would see a number of people coming to pay their respects every day. Their purpose was singular: they wanted to catch a glimpse of Tang Xiaosheng and see what he really looked like.

  Of course, there are also many people who want to come and see Long Xiaoxue's beautiful and dust-free appearance, which is more beautiful than the heavenly fairy.

  Because Long Xiaoxue had suffered from mental illness a year ago, just like Tang Xiaosheng, some netizens jokingly referred to them as the "Neurotic Heroes". This nickname quickly spread online and soon became synonymous with Tang Xiaosheng and Long Xiaoxue.

  Facing all these changes, Tang Xiaosheng, who had been staying in the mental hospital, was a bit caught off guard. In the past ten or so days, he hadn't done anything and just pretended to be mentally ill every day at the hospital, but his life was changing every day.

  In just a few days, the name "Tang Xiaosheng" had spread throughout the streets and alleys, and he had inexplicably become famous.

  Although he hasn't left the psychiatric hospital, he has already felt a huge change in his life. Because the doctors and nurses in the hospital talk about him every day, TV news and newspaper magazines have reports related to him every day. What surprised him most is that many beautiful female nurses in the hospital secretly took photos with Tang Xiaosheng during work.

  Tang Xiaosheng didn't know how all of this had started, he was completely unable to control the development of events, and it seemed like every day there would be new changes.

  Fortunately, all the changes seem not too bad for him. At least he is famous, at least his love with Little Dragon Girl gets more blessings, and at least more people think he has mental illness.

  His only concern was how all these changes would end and what result awaited him.

  Just as I was puzzled about this matter, I suddenly learned some explosive news.

  If what was reported in the media previously was a bombshell, then this piece of information is undoubtedly an atomic bomb.
