Chapter 452: This is all a misunderstanding!
The atmosphere outside the pharmacy was strange.
People looked at the four-season rice, then looked at Su Xia who was walking slowly towards them, with strange looks in their eyes.
The conflict between the two was almost known to the whole city, after all, Sijidao once led people to surround the pharmacy.
They are all leaders of large undead alliances, and they all work in the same department. Some even rose to their positions by betraying those close to them.
Sijidao betrayed the Machete Organization, including his teacher.
And Su Xia also betrayed his teacher.
There is an extremely strange sense of fate between the two of them.
Everyone knew that between the two of them, only one could reach the pinnacle of Coral City, and the other would either become a stepping stone forever or leave the city in disgrace.
"Hey, it's finally started!"
"Luckily I arrived early and occupied a favorable camera position. I must film the whole process today!"
"Master Su Xia probably doesn't know what happened yet, right? I'm really looking forward to his expression after he finds out everything..."
The many media people present all had expressions of watching a show. They were all leisurely and had already pointed their cameras at Su Xia.
Among them, more than half were called by Sijidao, and some of them were even supported by Sijidao, specializing in reporting news that was beneficial to Sijidao.
It can be said that a large part of the reputation of Four Seasons Rice in Coral City was created .
There were also a small number of media reporters who came here on their own after receiving the news.
"I heard that Minister Wang is going to declare war on that Su Xia? How can we miss such an important moment?!"
"Minister Wang has been preparing for many days. This time he will definitely defeat Su Xia in one fell swoop!"
Almost all of them stood on Sijidao's side, so naturally they would speak for him.
At the scene, some reporters have already started to tell the story to the camera: "After waiting for more than 40 minutes, Master Su Xia finally showed up. As for why he showed up after so long, we don't know... According to relevant sources, Master Su Xia seemed to want to delay time to avoid this challenge..."
In the restaurant nearby, Boss Zhao was so angry when he heard this that he wanted to curse.
Are there any relevant people here?
These damn reporters are just telling lies with their eyes open!
Anyone who is familiar with the pharmacy knows that Su Xia went out to treat patients and save lives, and it was not the so-called avoiding war at all.
However, these media outlets blocked the entire old street, so that the residents of the old street could not pass through here and could only take a detour through the alley on the side. From time to time, the residents' cursing could be heard.
Under the gaze of countless people, Su Xia was getting closer and closer to the pharmacy.
"Su Xia, have you seen my challenge letter? Are you surprised?" Sijidao stood at the door of the store, with a confident smile on his face, and said loudly to Su Xia.
He believed that Su Xia had already known the news, and even if Su Xia himself had not seen it, the rest of the Bikini Bottom team would have sent him a message to inform him.
Sijidao firmly believes in this, after all, he also has a similar team.
"What's that barking?"
Su Xia, who was far away, frowned and rubbed his ears, as if he didn't hear what Sijidao said at all.
He didn't even glance at Sijidao, and soon began to greet the neighbors around the old street, with a calm demeanor, just like usual.
"Su Xia, you..."
The smile on Sijidao's face froze for a moment.
He obviously couldn't have imagined that in front of so many media reporters, Su Xia still ignored him.
This made him feel very angry, because from the beginning to now, no matter when they met, Su Xia always chose to ignore him, as if she didn't take him seriously at all.
"Su Xia! Are you scared? Are you guilty? Why don't you dare to answer me directly?" Sijidao shouted loudly and kept questioning.
But Su Xia still turned a deaf ear and looked calm, as if the sound of Sijidao was no different from the buzz of mosquitoes in his ears.
Sijidao gritted his teeth, and the smile that he had managed to force onto his face disappeared at this moment, replaced by endless anger and hatred.
He wanted to use a smile to show his confidence, but Su Xia's disregard broke his defense.
"Su Xia, do you think this approach will work? It will only expose your guilty conscience!" Sijidao said loudly in exasperation.
"Where's that buzzing sound coming from?"
Su Xia looked up at the sky with a puzzled look on her face.
His voice was not loud, but it was just loud enough for everyone at the store door to hear.
Some people burst out laughing, being amused by him on the spot, but thinking that this was a serious occasion, they had to hold it back, and their faces turned red, looking very uncomfortable.
"What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"
Sijidao was so angry that he glared at the reporter who laughed. He planned to go back and look through the files to find out some negative information about the reporter.
Everyone knew that he was a vengeful person, and they all became much more serious.
It is easy to avoid an open attack but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow. Try not to provoke a real villain like Sijidao.
After a while, Su Xia walked to the door of the store leisurely, walked past Sijidao leisurely, and entered the store.
Sijidao did not stop him and stared at Su Xia viciously.
"Su Xia!"
He has waited for so long, just for this moment!
As long as Su Xia enters the store, she can't escape. She can't avoid this challenge no matter what!
There were no other customers in the shop. The two brothers Hong Bafu and Lan Bafu both looked resentful. Hong Bafu even tightly held a bottle of sleeping potion, as if he would throw it out at any time.
"Why do you look so unhappy? Is business not going well?" Su Xia asked the two brothers with a smile on his face, putting down the medicine box he was carrying.
"Brother Su, these people have blocked our doorstep and are preventing us from doing business!" Hong Bafu said angrily.
Sijidao brought quite a few people, including at least twenty major news media platforms and many self-media, who surrounded the entire pharmacy like a group of ants.
This situation was even more intense than the last time Sijidao led people to surround the pharmacy.
"Oh? You won't let us do business?"
Su Xia turned around calmly and looked at the guns and cameras outside.
At this time, Sijidao stood at the door, waved his hand, pulled out a letter of challenge, and said loudly: "Su Xia, with so many people witnessing you, do you still want to hide? How long are you going to hide?"
"Where did these flies come from? Brother Lan, go chase them away! Don't worry about casualties." Su Xia picked his ears with a nonchalant look on his face.
"Don't worry about casualties?"
Lan Bafu was stunned at first, then his eyes lit up, and he chuckled, immediately taking out a large box of highly toxic chemicals from under his workbench.
Seeing this scene, Sijidao's face suddenly changed.
From the moment Su Xia showed up until now, he has not played by the rules at all, making many of Sijidao's preparations useless, which made him very uncomfortable.
Outside the store, the faces of the many media reporters surrounding the store also changed. They all knew how terrifying pharmacists could be.
"Master Su, what do you mean?" a reporter from a large platform asked loudly.
"We were just invited here to bear witness. We don't have any bad intentions!"
They were here to watch the show and were all standing from the perspective of spectators.
But judging from what Su Xia said, the "flies" he mentioned seemed to include all the media reporters outside, and he planned to let Lan Bafu drive them away together.
"Master Su, why are you chasing us away? Is there something we can't say?" It was the same reporter from before, speaking very sharply. He asked Su Xia loudly towards the camera of his own platform.
"We just want to get first-hand information! We didn't do anything to harm the pharmacy!"
"Master Su, if this matter of chasing away reporters gets out, it will damage your reputation!"
"Don't you want us to witness it?"
“…”
As reporters from the Four Seasons Rice camp, they all spoke up, pointing out, both explicitly and implicitly, that Su Xia was guilty and did not dare to let them record here.
If Su Xia continued speaking along with what they said, they would have even sharper words until Su Xia became angry and embarrassed.
At the door of the store, a smile reappeared on Sijidao's face.
"Su Xia, you didn't expect that, did you?" He looked at the scene proudly and felt much more comfortable.
He called these media reporters because he had naturally anticipated this scene. He had instructed those reporters long ago to work together to force Su Xia at the critical moment.
Most of these news media were created by Sijidao with his hard work and time, so they will naturally do what he says.
"Su Xia, you really let us down!" Sijidao said gloomily, "With so many people here, it's ok that you didn't say a single positive response, but you actually got angry and chased them away. Are you really that scared? What are you afraid of?"
He stared at Su Xia viciously like a poisonous snake, and everything he said was recorded by the media reporters around him.
In the shop, Lan Bafu was so angry that his face turned red, and he even wanted to throw away the large box of poisonous medicine in his hand.
"This is too much!"
He spent all year making medicine in the pharmacy and seldom argued with others. He even lacked the energy to curse others.
Hong Bafu also had a sullen face. If it were his old temper, he would have chased away those gossiping reporters outside long ago.
However, after experiencing the incident with his father, he became much more stable than before.
There are only three brothers left in the pharmacy now, and nothing can go wrong.
"Brother Su, what should we do?" Hong Bafu asked in a deep voice, "You say something, and we will do as you say!"
Su Xia sat by the window, calmly tidying up her workbench.
He seemed to have not heard what those people outside said at all. While sorting things out, he asked Hong Bafu: "Brother Hong, when these people surrounded the pharmacy, did they ask for your permission?"
"No!" Hong Bafu answered firmly.
"You come to interfere with our business without our consent?"
Su Xia smiled calmly, turned to look out the window, and said, "That is an act of disturbing public order. Those with serious circumstances will be detained for a period of not less than five days but not more than ten days."
"Ah? This..."
Hong Bafu was obviously stunned for a moment.
"detention?"
When these words came out, many media reporters outside were also confused.
They thought they had the upper hand and could definitely force Su Xia into a corner, forcing him to accept the challenge.
But Su Xia's simple words not only changed the focus of the topic, but also put everyone in an extremely dangerous situation.
"Su Xia, what do you mean?" Sijidao's face suddenly changed. These news media were created by him with great effort, and he couldn't fail here!
"Master Su, we just want to interview you. We have no ill intentions. You must have misunderstood something!" The reporters outside also hurriedly explained, not daring to mention the challenge again.
"No ill intentions at all?"
Su Xia smiled, stood up from the workbench, wiped her hands, looked at the people outside and said, "I was wrong just now."
Hearing this, everyone outside breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Su Xia just wanted to scare them and didn't really want to use that charge.
Being detained for five or ten days may not sound long, but it will leave a stain on their life record that can never be washed away and will have a significant impact on their future.
Sijidao's body also relaxed a lot. He felt that Su Xia might not want to take things to the extreme and wanted to use this incident as a breakthrough point to let everyone take a step back and avoid the challenge.
"Hmph, Su Xia, do you think it's enough to just give in?" Sijidao sneered in his heart. Even if Su Xia gave in more, he would insist on continuing the challenge!
In the shop, Lan Bafu was a little anxious and asked in a low voice : "Brother Su, are you just going to let those disgusting guys go?"
"I haven't finished talking yet, don't worry."
Su Xia smiled slightly, walked to the door, looked around, and memorized the faces of everyone outside.
"I did say it wrong just now." He paused, then continued, "You forcibly occupied public property, created disturbances in public places, caused serious disorder in public order, and seriously affected the lives, production, and business of others. The circumstances were extremely serious and caused extremely bad social impacts. You have committed the crime of provoking disturbances and should be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years."
"What? A fixed-term sentence?"
Hearing this, the eyes of the many media reporters outside widened and they felt their hearts skip a beat.
Just now it was just a detention of more than five days but less than ten days, how come it has now become a direct sentence of five years in prison?
Isn't this rising too fast?
Before they could react, the sound of law enforcement sirens was heard in the distance, and the sound was gradually approaching this old street.
Su Xia smiled and waved her cell phone at everyone.
On the phone was the phone number of the Law Enforcement Bureau.
He had recently received several death threat letters, and even Yu Tuo had expressed his concern about this, requesting that nearby law enforcement, security, city defense and other departments provide round-the-clock protection for Su Xia.
"Regarding your crime of provoking disturbances, I think the residents of the entire old street will testify for me." Su Xia said with a smile, "So don't worry, if I say five years, it must be five years. I always keep my word and will not let you enjoy less. There are many talented people in the prison, so you should study hard after you go in."
"No, no, no, Master Su, you misunderstood, that's not what we meant!"
Everyone outside was in a panic, each one looking more flustered than the other. The sound of sirens in the distance was like the hum of a bee, making their heads buzz.
With Su Xia’s current status and position, if he says it will be five years, it will definitely be five years!
No one could have imagined that Su Xia would be so cruel. He sent so many media people to the police station for a disagreement. He was much more cruel than Sijidao!
Several uninvited media reporters were extremely regretful. If they had known that Su Xia would be so ruthless, why did they come here and wade into this mess?
"It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"
