Those who hoped to win the marathon championship definitely had excellent physical condition. The men brought by the man in the orange shirt were all amateur athletes, and each of them could fight three opponents alone. Hence, the event organizers were no match for them. Even with the security guards maintaining order, they couldnât manage to fight these participants.
The man in the orange shirt used his microphone stand and hurled it into the crowd, but not randomly. His targets were only the two organizers. He hit whoever he could.
The female organizer, wearing high heels, tripped after taking a few steps. After she fell to the ground, the man in the orange shirt did not bother with her but instead turned his attention to the male organizer, as he was the main manipulator behind the scenes.
With one swing of the microphone stand, the man in orange shirt broke the male organizerâs head, and blood streamed down his forehead, staining his white shirt red.
âStop, stop!â the female organizer shouted loudly, âIf you keep hitting him, someone will die!â
The man in the orange shirt dragged the male organizer up, âI can stop, but you need to give me an explanation now!â
The female organizer cowered, âAlright, alright, we will investigate⦠no, we will make a statement right now, clarify the truth, and satisfy you.â
The man released his grip, tossed the microphone stand aside, and said with a smile, âWhy didnât you say this earlier? Why did you have to let me beat you up?â He then said to his brothers, âSince they are willing to explain to us, letâs wait for their statement. After all, we are not in a hurry, we can afford to wait for the statement to be released.â
As he spoke, everyone else stopped their attacks, otherwise, who knew how long they would have continued to fight.
The stage was in chaos, all the microphones were broken, not a single microphone stand was left intact, and one stand had even pierced the big screen behind, creating a hole in the electronic display.
âThis is too intense!â Li Liren was dumbfounded, âThey even drew blood.â
âSuch a fine sports event turned out like this, letâs see how the organizers will explain later,â Tan Rou said with a faint smile, âBut those guys are really something, daring to beat people up in broad daylight. Arenât they afraid of being arrested?â
Zhuang Liu looked at the leader and remarked with a smile, âI guess even the police wouldnât dare to mess with them.â
Tan Rou asked curiously, âDo they have some kind of background?â
Zhuang Liu pointed to the man in the orange shirt on the stage and whispered to Tan Rou, âThat man ostensibly runs a martial arts school, but secretly he is involved in underworld businesses, and ordinary people wouldnât dare to offend him.â
Tan Rou asked, âHow do you know him?â
Zhuang Liu replied, âI needed his help for some matters a few years ago. He is very tight-lipped, very efficient, and itâs much easier dealing with some shady issues through him than doing it myself.â
Tan Rou nodded, âOh, this is going to be interesting to watch.â
Once the event organizers recovered, they immediately called the police. The venue had surveillance, so those who had been fighting couldnât escape. However, rather than running, they sat down to wait for the police to arrive.
The police arrived quickly, saw the chaotic scene, and the people there, and they realized that todayâs issue wouldnât be easy to solve.
The beaten male organizer, holding his head, harshly said, âOfficer, please arrest them immediately!â
The police didnât respond to him, but asked, âWho started the fight?â
The male organizer pointed at the opposite side, loudly saying, âThey started it.â
The leading officer frowned, âWhy did they start the fight?â
Now the male organizer found himself at a loss for words. After hemming and hawing, he answered, âYouâll have to ask them.â
The man in the orange shirt brushed off his clothes, chuckled heartily, and said, âSince they dare not explain, weâll start then.â His articulation was formidable, and he quickly clarified the reason behind the incident.
After listening, the police were profoundly shocked, âIs what youâre saying true?â
The wronged participants gathered around, âOfficer, we can confirm that what heâs saying is true, and if the police need evidence, we can provide it.â
At this, the police fell silent, for the matters on the sports field were not normally within their jurisdiction, considering that they did not involve civil disputes.
