Chapter 161 Backstage Accident
People watch The Voice for the suspense of the championship. Who the hell wants to watch random guest performers? the audience thought.
Of course, whether Su Tong's fans or haters, everyone was quite satisfied with the appearance of Xiao Yu. Without her, there would not be this song that is currently moving, and will continue to move, hundreds of millions of people.
"I will start announcing the scoring results from the fourth place," Hua Shao said, looking at the slip of paper in his hand. "Fourth place, very suspenseful. The last place in the previous match has moved up this time."
"Now I can clearly tell everyone that the fourth place is not Liang Luoshi."
"Who is it? I am very sorry to tell Xu Yanwei that the fourth place this time is you, and your score is 87 points."
Xu Yanwei's fans sighed, feeling regretful for her.
Su Tong's, Qin Feng's, and Liang Luoshi's supporters cheered.
"It doesn't matter, there is still one more round. Until the very end, no one knows the outcome," Hua Shao said.
"Now announcing the third place."
"To quickly tell everyone, the third place is Qin Feng, with a score of 88 points."
Qin Feng's supporters looked gloomy; Qin Feng was still in third place this time.
Su Tong's and Liang Luoshi's fans, however, were very excited.
"Gege is first! Gege is first..."
"The fairy is first! The fairy is first..."
Hua Shao smiled and said, "Now let's announce first place."
Boos erupted from the live audience. This Hua Shao really knew how to keep people in suspense.
"First place is probably what everyone expected," Hua Shao said with a 'you know what I mean' expression. "Let me tell you the score for first place first: 92 points."
The venue instantly erupted in commotion. Was the first place Su Tong?
Not daring to drag out the suspense any longer, Hua Shao quickly announced the winner of first place: "The first place is Su Tong. A song titled 'Father' brought me to tears on the spot; it was too touching. This time Su Tong takes first place, and personally, I feel it is well-deserved."
"Roar! Five points higher than Xu Yanwei, Gege doesn't need to worry about Xu Yanwei anymore."
Nian Nujiao's fans were extremely excited.
"Second place is naturally Liang Luoshi, and her score is 89 points," Hua Shao quickly announced.
The judging panel did not dare to give out too many high points. Since the superstars and contestants dueted in the first round and scored that high, could a duet between contestants in the second round score even higher than the first round?
The audience immediately began calculating in their minds.
In the first round, Su Tong scored 91 points, and in the second round 92 points, making his temporary total 183 points.
In the first round, Qin Feng scored 90 points, and in the second round 89 points, making his temporary total 178 points.
In the first round, Liang Luoshi scored 89 points, and in the second round 89 points, making her temporary total 178 points.
In the first round, Xu Yanwei scored 90 points, and in the second round 87 points, making her temporary total 177 points.
Because for the final total score, the group champions Qin Feng, Liang Luoshi, and Xu Yanwei each received a 5-point bonus, it took two rounds for Su Tong to finally stand on the same starting line as his opponents.
Moreover, Xu Yanwei had already been left behind by him and was no longer a threat.
As long as he performed normally in the third round, the championship would be within easy reach.
"Such a beautiful and touching song got only 92 points. How could it be so low?"
"Exactly! I think 99 or 100 points would be normal. What are the judges even doing?"
"The duet between Big Brother and Da Qiao was obviously far superior to the first song with the mentor."
"To have barely made it back to the same starting line—this is so unfair to Big Brother."
"If Big Brother doesn't win first place, I'll never watch The Voice again."
"Giving such a low score just to save face, I wonder how the judges are going to score the rest of the show. Vile judges!"
"..."
After doing the math, the League of Legends fans were furious. Nian Nujiao's combination had returned and only received 92 points, leaving many people feeling deeply resentful.
Qin Feng and Xu Yanwei, on the other hand, were fuming. Over these two rounds, they had fallen behind Su Tong by 5 and 6 points respectively, and their advantages were completely gone.
"Yo, what a pretty little girl." In the backstage area, Xu Yanwei walked over and said with a smiling, amiable expression to Xiaoxiao, who was in Su Tong's arms: "Su Tong, is she really your sister? How come she doesn't look like you at all?"
At this, she leaned close to Su Tong's ear and whispered with a smile: "Did you pick her up off the street, or did your mom accidentally... you know."
Su Tong hadn't even wanted to pay attention to Xu Yanwei and was talking to Gao Litong, but upon hearing this, the smile on his face vanished.
"You asked for it!" Su Tong held Xiaoxiao with one arm, freed the other, and delivered a loud slap across Xu Yanwei's face.
Xu Yanwei was petite and was knocked straight to the ground by Su Tong's slap. Her mouth was full of blood, and a few teeth spat out.
"Why are you hitting people?" Qin Feng stepped forward, wanting to stop Su Tong from continuing with his feet.
"Get lost!" Su Tong kicked out, striking Qin Feng as well.
"Bang!"
Qin Feng let out a miserable scream, crashed into a chair, and flipped over together with it.
"Student Su, Student Su..."
Several staff members were frightened out of their wits. Only after Su Tong kicked Qin Feng flying did they snap back to reality and rush forward to hold Su Tong back.
"I've found you dog-and-bitch pair disgusting for a long time. If you're looking to die, I'll grant your wish." Su Tong's gaze was sharp and teeming with murderous intent, making the surrounding staff members' hearts leap with panic.
Saying anything else was fine, but mentioning Xiaoxiao and his mother to provoke him—even if it meant risking being disqualified, he had to vent this pent-up rage.
Su Tong's slap and kick turned the backstage area upside down.
"Aiyo, my little ancestor," Li Guowei rushed over upon hearing the news, clutching his forehead.
"Wuwu, I'm not competing anymore, I want to withdraw! You guys at The Voice are bullying people too much, wuwu..." Having lost a few teeth, Xu Yanwei cried earth-shatteringly. Her grief was genuine, completely unfeigned.
Who wouldn't be upset if they suddenly lost several teeth?
Clutching his waist in excruciating pain, Qin Feng had tears welling up in his eyes: "Director, Su Tong hit someone for no reason at all. You handle this."
Su Tong laughed heartily: "Qin Feng, for no reason? If a big man like me had been hit, I would have covered my face and run away long ago. Your skin is really thick, still having the nerve to complain here. And you, Xu Yanwei, you wanted to anger me, and you succeeded. This matter isn't over. If you don't apologize to me, I'll hit you again. Nobody goes on stage today."
Li Guowei's vision went dark, and he almost passed out.
Liang Luoshi was currently performing, and it would be Su Tong's turn to go on stage right after.
Not only was this guy refusing to go on stage, but he also wanted to drag Xu Yanwei down with him!
"What happened?" Li Guowei asked, his face looking terrible—and how could it look good?
"Ask her." Su Tong asked Gao Litong to take Xiaoxiao and Xiao Yu away and leave this place.
Gao Litong liked, admired, and held a sense of awe toward Su Tong all at once. Hearing this, she hurriedly led Xiao Yu and Xiaoxiao away.
"I just praised his sister for being pretty, and he didn't like the look of me. What did I do wrong?" Xu Yanwei cried and made a scene.
Su Tong had long anticipated this. The most venomous heart belongs to a woman. He looked around and saw only security cameras, no voice recorders. When it came to playing dirty and denying things, he could do it too. He laughed heartily: "Director, I have something to add. Xu Yanwei did say my sister was pretty, but she also told me that she had a technique that could make me feel absolute heavenly bliss, and asked me how much it would cost to hire her for the night. That was an insult to my intelligence and my character, and it is completely intolerable. Director, if I told you I wanted to hire you for the night and named a price, what would your reaction be?"
Li Guowei shuddered. *Though you're handsome, you're a man after all! I'm straight, I'm not into Brokeback Mountain, that's disgusting!*
Besides, she was a woman—though petite, she had a pretty face and a super proportioned figure. For someone like that to say those things to a man, wouldn't the man's reaction be completely different?
Just by hearing it, anyone could tell Su Tong was talking nonsense.
