Chapter 910: Sudden Change at the Award Ceremony
Facing the enthusiasm of the audience, Zhang He turned his head to look at Ling Feng, "See that? That’s the power of an idol!"
"Who is this guy?" Ling Feng asked.
"You don’t know him? This guy is the hottest actor of the year, has starred in a drama film where his performance is deemed classic!" said Zhang He.
Ling Feng looked at him, "You seem to know quite a bit about the entertainment industry!"
"Of course, after all, I am related to a star, so naturally I need to understand some of it!" Zhang He said with conviction.
Ling Feng was speechless, "You really have too much free time on your hands!"
As they spoke, the young man had already ascended the stage.
Ling Feng hadn’t paid much attention at first, but upon noticing the man’s walking posture, his mind was suddenly stirred.
"No way?"
Muttering to himself, Ling Feng’s Divine Sense enveloped the young man!
What caught his attention was the other’s walking posture, slightly pigeon-toed, with legs slightly curved inward, giving an awkward appearance.
This person was at least 185cm tall, originally having a tall and imposing figure, walking with an easy grace, but the pigeon-toed stance made him seem out of place.
Ling Feng wondered, as a star, shouldn’t he pay attention to his image? At the very least he should try to keep up appearances!
The more he paid attention, the more he felt something was off!
The man had a smile all over his face, but his heart was filled with malice!
Ling Feng did not know that his Divine Sense could detect another’s emotional issues, but once he sensed something wrong, he immediately heightened his vigilance!
Zhang He, seeing him so tense, wanted to tease him, but upon seeing Ling Feng shake his hand at him, he fell silent at once.
As the young award recipient reached the center of the stage, Zheng Yitong smiled and handed over the trophy, everything seemed so calm and beautiful, yet Ling Feng’s heart had risen to his throat.
The award recipient’s smiling face suddenly changed, and he drew a dagger from his waist!
The blade gleamed coldly, heading straight for Zheng Yitong!
Such a drastic change could happen in the blink of an eye!
The man was swift, and the incident was so sudden, almost no one in the audience anticipated such an event, hence everyone was holding their breath!
In the moment of crisis, Ling Feng roared, utilizing his Mind Soul Art with full force!
The blade was but one centimeter away from Zheng Yitong’s neck when the man realized he suddenly couldn’t move!
No matter how hard he tried, his body and arms couldn’t move forward by even a millimeter!
A cry of shock erupted from the crowd, and Zheng Yitong, too, was frightened out of his wits, hastily retreating.
At the same time, Ling Feng rushed onto the stage again. This was no accident, a real incident had occurred, and without a word he embraced Zheng Yitong and rushed off the stage, handing him over to Zhang He.
Afterward, Ling Feng returned to the stage under the watchful eyes of the audience, took the dagger from the man’s hand, and then looked at his face intently.
"This person is in disguise, he is not the real award recipient!"
Ling Feng declared, reaching out to lift off a thin layer of something that resembled skin from the man’s face.
After it was removed, another face was revealed, and everyone present was stunned!
Some were at a loss for words, others were dumbstruck, but the majority were the fervent fans who suddenly saw their idol pull out a weapon to commit murder, only to be swiftly restrained, and then it was revealed they had been impersonated!
The plot’s dramatic twists and turns turned the audience’s emotions into something akin to a roller coaster ride. Within just a few dozen seconds, many people’s blood pressures soared and then plummeted, only to rise again, nearly causing aneurysms!
At this point, there was chaos below the stage, and the stage itself was in disarray, with many people rushing up.
Of course, these people were all aiming for the impostor who pretended to receive the award.
After he was restrained, Ling Feng retracted his Mind Soul Art, looking at the man with a cold sneer.
The man’s gaze also stayed fixed on Ling Feng’s face, as he was caught by seven or eight people and couldn’t break free, so he could only ask aloud, "Who are you?"
"We’ll meet again. You’ll find out soon enough!"
Ling Feng chuckled and turned to leave the stage.
Although it was only two to three minutes, many people had already memorized his face, and the media and audience members present were frantically taking photos and videos, recording everything that had just happened.
Backstage, Ling Feng saw Zheng Yitong cowering in Zhang He’s arms, and he felt an unexpected twinge of envy.
However, he didn’t show it and instead stepped forward to say, "Miss Zheng, you were frightened, but the man has been caught!"
"Thank you, Mr. Ling. It felt like I just had a brush with death!" Zheng Yitong trembled as she spoke.
"Yes, it was indeed dangerous. Luckily, I noticed there was something odd about the way that person walked; otherwise, we wouldn’t have had time to react!"
Ling Feng too felt a sense of relief. If he had been just a beat slower, Zheng Yitong would now be lying in a pool of blood!
The man’s blade had aimed straight for the vitals; even if he were Daluo Golden Immortal, he might not have been able to save her!
"Brother, I owe you another one!" Zhang He said, full of gratitude.
To lighten the mood, Ling Feng cracked a smile, "You seem to owe me quite a bit already; I’ve lost count of how many times it’s been!"
"Uh, I’ll repay you all at once when I have the chance!" Zhang He laughed.
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng quickly waved his hand, "Please don’t say that, it’s bad luck!"
By now, the chaos on stage had subsided, but it was clear that the awards ceremony could not continue.
After all, the incident that occurred earlier was backstage, but the recent one took place in front of a large audience. Although the organizers had cut off the live feed to broadcast commercials right after the incident, they still had to consider the emotions of the audience on site.
Therefore, after some discussion, the host announced on stage that the remaining award events would be postponed and asked the audience to start leaving!
This move naturally caused dissatisfaction among many people, but with the celebrities in the front row standing up to leave and setting an example, the audience had no choice but to follow suit and prepare to exit.
This no longer concerned Ling Feng. He and Zhang He escorted Zheng Yitong to the lounge and then prepared to leave and return to the villa on the mountaintop.
But at that moment, the Harbor Island police approached, because Ling Feng was the one who had caught the man who had attempted murder, and the police wanted to understand some details from him.
Ling Feng himself was eager to inquire about the assailant’s origins, so he readily agreed.
Concerned about Zheng Yitong’s safety, Ling Feng hesitated before saying, "Miss Zheng, why don’t you come with me to the police station? I’m worried that the matter isn’t over, and there could be another attack on the way home if I’m not by your side!"
Zheng Yitong nodded, "Okay, I’ll join you!"
Her mother, Chen Murong, also agreed without hesitation, "Mr. Ling, I entrust you with Yi Tong’s safety!"
Ling Feng smiled, "Rest assured, Auntie."
