Chapter 1368 Produce the Evidence (First Update Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Chen Yingxiong’s sentence, "Show me the evidence," suddenly silenced Richard. Gere, who had been eloquent before. The live audience held their breath, wanting to see if Richard. Gere could produce evidence. At that moment, they suddenly became nervous, and the scene fell into an awkward silence.

Just as the host, Michelle Peschet, was about to smooth things over and ease the tense atmosphere that had existed between the two since they met, Chen Yingxiong launched another attack.

"What's wrong? Can't produce any evidence? What are you yelling about if you can't produce evidence?"

Richard. Gere simply didn't look at Chen Yingxiong. He spoke to the camera, and also to the live audience.

"Everyone, I am a person who understands China very well. I have studied China for many years, and I have a deep understanding and awareness of the dark side of this country..."

Chen Yingxiong's voice rose again: "Can't you hear me, Mr. Richard. Gere? Is there something wrong with your ears, or is there something wrong with my throat? But it seems everyone else can hear my voice... It seems there's something wrong with your ears." At this point, he turned to the host, Peschet. "Maybe we should find someone who knows sign language to be Mr. Gere's translator? But I don't know if Mr. Gere can understand sign language... Maybe we should just write it down!"

After saying that, Chen Yingxiong directly picked up a small blackboard from the sofa armrest and used a marker to write on it: "Please provide evidence to prove that I have taken prohibited drugs, Mr. Richard. Gere."

After writing it, he showed what he had written to everyone, to the host, to the audience, and of course, to give the camera lens a close-up.

The audience at the scene burst into laughter when they saw Chen Yingxiong treating Richard. Gere as a deaf person in all seriousness.

After showing it around, Chen Yingxiong held the blackboard up for Richard. Gere to see.

Actually, while Chen Yingxiong was saying and doing this, Richard. Gere was still talking at length to everyone about the black history of Chinese sports, such as doping, age manipulation, and match-fixing...

Listening to what he said, he really seemed to know a lot about Chinese sports. What he said wasn't fabricated, but all true events.

But it was clear that everyone's attention wasn't on his words. Everyone wasn't interested in the black history of Chinese sports; they were only concerned about whether Chen Yingxiong had really taken prohibited drugs...

This could be seen from the burst of laughter – during this time, everyone's attention had been on Chen Yingxiong from beginning to end, and no one had been listening to what Richard. Gere had been saying.

Richard. Gere was furious.

He had been on so many shows, when had he ever been played like a monkey like this?

"Interrupting others is very impolite! Chinese people!"

When Chen Yingxiong heard him say this, he didn't get angry, but a bright smile appeared on his face.

"That's great, so you're not deaf after all? Then you were just pretending? We have a Chinese idiom called 'playing deaf and dumb,' which is perfect for describing you. But do you know when you need to play deaf and dumb? It's when you have a guilty conscience. So it's clear that you have a guilty conscience, and you're ignoring my question..."

Chen Yingxiong pointed at Richard. Gere and said.

Gere angrily said, "You interrupted me, that's very impolite! Are all Chinese people as impolite as you?"

Gere wasn't actually stupid. From the moment Chen Yingxiong mentioned evidence, he knew that this show probably wasn't going to be easy... And he couldn't just walk away, because then everyone would know he was a loser.

So his only option now was to provoke Chen Yingxiong, to make him lose his reason and composure, to make him swing his fists. As long as he hit him, he would occupy the moral high ground, and then he could shift the topic and attention to Chen Yingxiong hitting someone. As for the minor matter of evidence of doping, who would still remember that?

In any case, he had to ruin Chen Yingxiong's reputation.

So he kept saying "you Chinese" and "your China". He had studied China and knew that Chinese people were a group of people with strong national pride, and they were always particularly sensitive to issues involving the country and the nation.

And Chen Yingxiong was also a Chinese person, and he didn't believe that doing this wouldn't provoke Chen Yingxiong.

Besides, Chen Yingxiong was already known for being short-tempered and quick to anger.

He suddenly felt admiration for his own quick wit.

How could someone as smart as me lose to a mere Chinese player?

But he obviously didn't know that three days ago, someone else had also planned to provoke Chen Yingxiong, so that he would have an excuse to send Chen Yingxiong off.

But he had failed. In the end, Chen Yingxiong faced deliberate obstruction, suppressed his anger, and calmly kicked the football into the goal three consecutive times from the same spot, in the same way and at the same angle, scoring a goal that created new history.

No one knew what that referee was thinking.

So Richard. Gere failed to learn a lesson from this.

※※※

Faced with Richard. Gere's constant talk of Chinese people and China, Chen Yingxiong acted as if he didn't hear it, and the smile on his face grew even wider.

When he heard Gere say, "You interrupted me, that's very impolite!" he spread his hands, looking innocent, and said, "But now you're interrupting me, Mr. Gere."

The audience burst into laughter again.

This time when inviting the audience, Chen Yingxiong had played a trick. He had made a request to the production team, asking them to invite more people who supported him, mainly Liverpool fans.

This show was a special episode. Chen Yingxiong used money to pressure the show's production team. Since he was the investor, and he had paid the money, the production team naturally had to listen to him. He said to invite whoever he wanted, and that's who they invited. No one would go against money. In addition, this show mainly interviewed figures from the Asia-Pacific region, so at least there should be less prejudice, and they wouldn't deliberately target Chen Yingxiong.

Therefore, when he had clever words and tricks, there would be a burst of happy laughter in the live studio hall.

Amidst the laughter, Gere retorted, "But you interrupted me repeatedly before! That's impolite! You Chinese people are all impolite!"

He continued to smear the Chinese people, trying to provoke Chen Yingxiong.

Who knew that Chen Yingxiong wouldn't be moved, and instead crossed his legs and leisurely said, "Oh, Mr. Gere, you're now saying 'impolite' all the time... So you actually know the word 'polite,' but do you really know what 'polite' means? When I broke the record, you jumped out and accused me of taking prohibited drugs without any basis. Is that what you call polite, Mr. Gere?"

Hearing Chen Yingxiong actually questioning him like this, Richard. Gere blurted out, "Who said I have no basis?!"

As soon as he said it, he regretted it.

Sure enough, Chen Yingxiong once again turned his hand out and stretched it out in front of him: "Then show me the evidence, Mr. Richard. Gere."

Uh... the topic seemed to have come full circle again.

The audience burst into laughter once more.

"I've been saying my basis all along... You Chinese are the best at falsifying things. You even faked the singing at the opening ceremony of the Olympics..."

"Was the Queen really jumping out of the helicopter at the opening ceremony of the London Olympics? Stop talking nonsense, and show me the evidence." Chen Yingxiong continued to spread his hands and stretch them out in front of Gere.

"Then are all those doping cases in Chinese sports fake?"

"The data from the International Anti-Doping Agency proves that the United States has at least two hundred athletes who have used prohibited drugs, which is much more than China's thirty-five. In terms of taking prohibited drugs, Americans are at the forefront of the world. Why don't you question whether the achievements of American athletes are problematic and unclear? Phelps won eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics alone. Did you question his results at the time? My urine test didn't find any problems. Are you more authoritative than the urine test department? Show me the evidence, and don't try to change the subject." Chen Yingxiong relentlessly insisted, and in the end, he would definitely demand that Richard. Gere produce evidence, making it impossible for him to even change the subject.

Richard. Gere was pressed so hard by Chen Yingxiong's questioning, and no matter how he provoked him, Chen Yingxiong didn't get angry, and his answers were polite and restrained, putting him in a very passive position.

Forced into a corner, he had no choice but to resort to his trump card – free conviction.

"Not being detected doesn't mean there wasn't any! It's just because..."

Chen Yingxiong interrupted him once again, or rather, said it in unison with him.

"... the technology isn't advanced enough now to detect the ingredients of prohibited drugs. Right?"

Chen Yingxiong yawned: "I'm getting tired of hearing that sentence these days. I thought you would come up with something new, but it's exactly the same."

He said to the dumbfounded Richard. Gere.

"So you're indirectly admitting that you have no evidence, right?"

"Who said I don't have any? You Chinese..." Richard. Gere was still stubbornly refusing to admit defeat.

This time Chen Yingxiong didn't say anything, just a gesture of reaching out made Gere silent.

"Show me the evidence." Chen Yingxiong tilted his head and looked at him, saying in a mocking tone.

Gere remained silent.

"See, you're admitting by default that you have no evidence..." Seeing Gere open his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, he immediately said, "Evidence, evidence, Mr. Gere. Evidence."

Gere closed his mouth and didn't say anything again.

A huge sense of frustration was growing in his heart. He didn't expect that he wouldn't even be able to beat the other person in a battle of words...

And he had completely failed to provoke Chen Yingxiong.

He didn't understand why Chen Yingxiong, who was always described in the media as having a fiery temper, was so calm?

Chen Yingxiong would soon let him see his fiery side.

※※※

Chen Yingxiong slowly stood up from the sofa. This was the first time he had stood up tonight.

He stared intently at Richard. Gere, who had fallen silent.

Damn it! Your damn mouth is finally quiet. Do you know how hard it was for me to tolerate you?

You're not saying anything, are you? You're acting cowardly and shrinking back, aren't you?

Alright, now it's my turn!

Seeing Chen Yingxiong stand up, Richard. Gere raised his head in a somewhat alarmed manner, but he was very happy inside – is he going to attack? Attack me! Come on and attack me! I promise not to fight back!

But to his disappointment, Chen Yingxiong didn't mean to come up and hit him, but instead looked down at him from a commanding position.

"Don't think I don't know you and your little thoughts. Aren't you just upset that I'm Chinese and broke this new record? Stop talking about sportsmanship... None of you are worthy of talking about morality with me. Don't you like to say 'you Chinese' all the time? Well, I'm telling you, even a dog in China has more morals than you! The results of my urine test are all fine, and the most authoritative department has recognized my innocence. You run out and question it? Who do you think you are? Then can I question whether you're not your mother's biological child? Don't ask me for evidence. I'm just questioning whether you're a hybrid of a human and an animal! Our technology can't detect it now, but in the future, as technology develops, it will definitely be proven that you're a hybrid!"

Chen Yingxiong, who had been polite and restrained before, suddenly changed his demeanor after standing up, becoming aggressive. The way he spat and sputtered from his wide-open mouth made people worry that he would suddenly eat Richard. Gere in one bite...

Richard. Gere didn't get to see Chen Yingxiong hit him, but instead was cursed at by Chen Yingxiong, leaving him both shocked and angry. He pointed at Chen Yingxiong and said, "You... you, you! You're cursing at people!"

"I'm cursing at a hybrid, not a person. Don't overestimate yourself." Chen Yingxiong said contemptuously. "Besides, what did I say wrong? We really can't prove that you're not the product of a human-animal hybrid now, but that doesn't mean you're not, right? Time will prove everything, so don't easily deny your identity, and don't forget your ancestors."

"If you're not convinced, then show me the evidence. I'm waiting for you. I'll just leave my words here. As long as you can produce the evidence, I'll apologize to you! But can you produce it?"

Chen Yingxiong stared at Richard. Gere and said.

Gere was trembling with anger, but he was powerless, because he really couldn't produce any evidence.

Chen Yingxiong glanced at this guy who had been completely defeated by him, and finally said, "Then, I'll say it in advance. I will definitely become the greatest player in the history of English football. When that time comes, you're welcome to nitpick and find fault. But remember to use that asshole above..." Chen Yingxiong pointed to his mouth, "... when you're spewing shit, remember to find the evidence first."

After saying that, Chen Yingxiong nodded to the host, Michelle Peschet, and then turned and left the live broadcast.

Michelle Peschet, who had hardly had any presence throughout the show, was hosting such a "talk show" for the first time. From the beginning, Chen Yingxiong had firmly controlled the situation on the stage, and then cornered Richard. Gere, using just one word, "evidence," to beat Richard. Gere, while Gere had no power to fight back...

He glanced at Richard. Gere, who was sitting on the sofa, trembling all over, but he didn't sympathize with him at all.

Who told him to provoke someone he shouldn't have provoked?

When he had interviewed Chen Yingxiong before, he had a very good understanding of Chen Yingxiong's nature. If he was smiling and squinting, then he might not be showing you goodwill. He might be plotting how to kill you in his heart...

He wouldn't be willing to provoke such a dangerous person, even if he was also British...
