The embassy, which rarely posted online, made a rare appearance on Weibo with a reply: “Don’t worry, we’re here.”
The embassy staff were rushing desperately to the Da Ying Museum.
As for Gu Shengsheng, she was completely fearless. After she beat the man up, no one actually dared to open fire.
Instead, they were all afraid that Gu Shengsheng would go berserk.
This was also what Gu Shengsheng had anticipated. An important rule when you’re abroad is that if someone else acts crazy, you have to act even crazier. That way, they can’t gauge your true abilities.
From the very beginning, she had targeted a man like him to fight, beaten up the museum’s director, and was holding a foreign passport. They wouldn’t dare to act rashly.
That was why Gu Shengsheng had flashed her passport right at the beginning.
The museum director kept shouting:
“She’s crazy, she’s crazy! Get someone to handle this!”
“Hurry, contact the MPS Police Station! This is our business, we’ll handle it!”
He was a perfectly fine, tall, and strapping man, yet he was being slammed to the ground by such a small, petite girl. How could he ever show his face again!
The main thing was, with so many security guards around and videos already getting out, how could he maintain his authority in the future?
At this point, even if nothing happened to Gu Shengsheng, he was determined to make sure she paid.
His eyes stared resentfully at Gu Shengsheng, but she just kept grabbing his collar and pummeling him.
The surroundings were in chaos. Just as people from the MPS Police Station arrived, people from the embassy got there as well.
The highest-ranking official from the embassy walked up to Gu Shengsheng, then said a great deal to the person from the MPS Police Station, even laying out the details of the case. Soon, the evidence was more or less prepared.
Then, the people from the MPS Police Station left without so much as a glance at the Da Ying Museum staff.
Jack, who was already beaten badly, looked completely incredulous. “What’s going on?”
“Is the MPS not going to handle our case?”
“Are you just going to let foreigners bully us? This is Eagle Country’s territory, and you think you can run wild?”
At this, Gu Shengsheng said, “Alright, I’ve recorded what you just said. Let’s have the Federation take a look, let’s have the international organizations take a look. Let’s see if this is you acting like a local tyrant, or what.”
“Anyway, I’m posting this online right now. In the future, will all foreign tourists who come here have to be as terrified as I am? After all, I haven’t even gone inside yet.”
“Will they be searched by you before they’ve even spent any money?”
Gu Shengsheng had a terrified look on her face as she spoke. “I’m just a helpless, incredibly weak little girl. I came here as a tourist and was treated like this. So I’m calling for everyone to boycott Eagle Country from now on.”
“…” Jack was speechless. ‘Calling that kind of strength ‘a weak little girl’? How absurd!’
Only after hearing this did Jack start to panic.
He had never considered that things would go in this direction, nor had he thought that such a simple matter could escalate into something so complicated.
Just what was the background of this girl, Gu Shengsheng, whose name was on the passport?
The people from the MPS Police Station had just left. They didn’t even seem to want to talk to him, as if they were afraid of being associated with him. This whole thing was too strange.
Then, Gu Shengsheng continued, “Mr. Jack, what are you going to do now?”
“Are you still going to search me?”
“Miss Gu, you can go. It was my mistake.” Although he wasn’t sure of her background, he knew the situation was bad. There was no need to waste time on this person, especially one who was clearly not to be trifled with.
Gu Shengsheng crossed her arms. “But, I’m just supposed to leave like that? You haven’t compensated me or apologized. You haven’t apologized for insulting us, nor for your indiscriminate accusations just now.”
“And just now, so many of you pointed guns at me. I was terrified. The emotional distress has been immense.”
Gu Shengsheng rubbed her head, feigning a headache.
“You lunatic!” Jack cursed. “You just beat me so much, and you still have the nerve to say something like that?”
“Beat you? Don’t you think my hand hurts?” Gu Shengsheng looked with pity at her own reddened knuckles, then said to the embassy official, “I’m dizzy.”
Although the embassy official was trying hard to hold back his laughter, he stood before the museum director.
He said, “Your establishment has severely infringed upon the interests of our citizen and has also caused her severe emotional distress. Therefore, we issue a stern condemnation and will follow this matter to the very end.”
“Yes, it was a mistake in our investigation.” With no one to back them up now, the Eagle Country Museum couldn’t say much more.
This matter had to be thoroughly investigated.
“The MPS Police Station has reached an agreement with us. From now on, if anything happens to this Miss Gu, it will be considered the responsibility of your Da Ying Museum. This is the explanation owed to us and to our nation, which you have offended. Do you agree to these terms?”
“…”
Although Jack was resentful, how could he possibly refuse? He nodded and said, “Fine.”
“We accept this penalty. We still have to search for the missing artifact, so we won’t linger.”
Then Jack led his men inside.
As for Gu Shengsheng, she glanced at the entrance. Then, the man from the embassy asked, “Miss Gu, my name is Zhang Yao. Would you like to go in and have a look?”
“I’ll accompany you.”
Gu Shengsheng said, “Alright, thank you, Mr. Zhang Yao.”
With that, the two of them walked in together. The atmosphere inside was tense, with everyone in a state of panic over the missing artifact, but Zhang Yao and Gu Shengsheng began to stroll around leisurely.
And not a single person dared to say a word.
Then, Zhang Yao said, “Miss Gu, I’ve watched all your livestreams back home. We also know about the Da Ying Museum trying to frame you. We could only be angry about it. We couldn’t help.”
He grew emotional. “Do you know how many of our cultural artifacts are here? How many have been scattered abroad?”
“I know.” Gu Shengsheng’s voice was calm.
“No fewer than a million of Huaxia’s artifacts are kept in over 200 museums across 47 countries worldwide. Most of them were lost in the period before our nation was founded, and a large portion were taken during the Qing Dynasty. The Da Ying Museum alone has 23,000 artifacts from Huaxia, with 2,000 of them on long-term display.”
At this point, Zhang Yao’s eyes welled up with tears.
“I can’t imagine how wonderful it would be if these artifacts were back home with us. Every time I see them on display, watching those people talk nonsense about our culture, I just want to go over and beat them up. But there’s nothing I can do.”
Gu Shengsheng’s eyes also grew moist.
She said, “It’s alright. Things will get better and better in the future.”
“Besides, at least we can contribute our own strength.”
Zhang Yao nodded. “Yes, Miss Gu. When we were watching your livestreams before, everyone was guessing. They said you might go international, that you might come here. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but I never expected you’d actually do it.”
