"Please calm down. This is a live recording. Our results are fair, just, and transparent.
Contestant Song Yicheng was eliminated because he was the slowest in assembling the airplane model in the final round.
Furthermore, according to our staff's statistics, he installed four parts incorrectly.
Contestant Tongtong not only completed the assembly but did so with zero errors.
Contestant Tian Tian assembled one hundred and twenty parts, using two incorrectly.
Contestant Zhou Ran assembled one hundred and twelve parts, using three incorrectly."
After hearing the host's words, Song Mama did not realize her mistake. Instead, she became defiant. "Even if my son wasn't the fastest assembler, I don't believe such a young child as Tongtong could assemble such a large airplane model without a single mistake. There must be some hidden agenda that we don't know about.
Also, in so many competitions, how is it that he performs so well in every single one?
How can a child just over three years old be so intelligent? I don't believe it."
She was the typical type who, upon seeing her son lose a competition, started to lash out unreasonably.
The host's expression immediately showed displeasure. "Song Mama, please mind your words. Our competitions have never involved cheating. Tongtong's talent is evident to everyone. Contestants are eliminated every day, and these are all fair and just outcomes.
You cannot deny another contestant's achievements just because your son was eliminated. It is unfair to them and also a form of emotional harm!"
After the host finished speaking, the audience below also began to voice their indignation. "Exactly! Just because your son was eliminated, it means there's a hidden agenda?
When other contestants were eliminated, why didn't you say anything? You're clearly just jealous of others' success.
You're an adult, and you can't even accept your son's minor failure. Your heart is too fragile. Besides, your son has already made it to the top four.
Is being in the top three really that important?"
...
The crowd chimed in, expressing their dissatisfaction with Song Mama.
At this moment, Song Mama was outnumbered and unable to contend with so many voices.
Yet, she remained unyielding. "It's easy for you to say when you're not in my shoes. Who wouldn't want their son to be the champion? Or at least third place.
Although fourth place is only one spot away from third, the difference is like night and day.
And I'm not just saying this for the sake of it.
All the questions are set by the production team. We have no idea if they are playing any tricks behind the scenes. How would they tell us?
I truly don't believe Liu Tongtong, at such a young age, can understand so many things. Even a genius wouldn't be *this* much of a genius.
Have none of you ever doubted the authenticity of the show?"
"I will not allow you to slander my son. If you believe my son knew the answers in advance, then please provide proof, otherwise, I will call the police right now and sue you for defamation!" Liu Yifeng immediately stood up.
Tongtong was already a very intelligent child. Why should he be subjected to such insult? If he, as his father, did not step forward now, he would not be a qualified father.
Song Mama, facing Liu Yifeng's assertive stance, showed no signs of guilt. She looked directly at him. "I have no evidence, but I have the right to question the authenticity of the show. Unless you can prove that this child is indeed this intelligent, I will not accept this result."
"Ms. Song, you are questioning the fairness of our production team. Since you believe Tongtong's intelligence is due to him knowing the answers in advance, you can test him on the spot.
If he can answer the questions you pose, doesn't that prove that his advancement to the finals is solely due to his talent? At that time, you must apologize to Tongtong and the production team," the host's attitude was equally firm.
In his many years as a host, he had never encountered such an unreasonable person who would attack without discretion during a live recording.
Tongtong's intelligence was evident to everyone. Even he, as the host, would sometimes envy Liu Yifeng for having such a wonderful son.
He never imagined that someone would question Tongtong like this, and he felt wronged on Tongtong's behalf.
Hearing this, Song Mama's guilt surfaced again. The firm attitudes of the host and Liu Yifeng were enough to indicate that Tongtong had not known the answers in advance.
In fact, if one thought about it carefully, Tongtong did have some special abilities.
Setting aside other things, just looking at the assembled airplane model just now, even with hands-on instruction, a normal three-year-old child couldn't have remembered it so fluently. Moreover, he handled the tools without hesitation, like an experienced craftsman.
The reason she caused trouble was purely because she saw her son eliminated and felt dissatisfied.
Seeing Song Mama's guilty expression, Liu Yifeng pressed on, "It seems you realize you've wronged my son. Then please apologize to my son!"
"Why should I apologize? As a contestant's parent, don't I have the right to question the show?" Song Mama did not want to do anything so embarrassing.
This was also the first time Liu Yifeng felt the urge to beat up a woman.
If it weren't for the crowd watching and the cameras rolling, he would have dragged Song Mama in front of Tongtong and made her apologize.
"Daddy, it's okay. It's normal for Brother Song's Mommy not to believe I have this ability, because I'm so young!"
Tongtong's words, while seemingly defending Song Mama, were actually a subtle jab at Song Mama for looking at people with prejudice based on age.
The audience, upon hearing Tongtong's words, felt even more indignant on his behalf.
" Hurry up and apologize to contestant Tongtong!"
"Apologize quickly, you've gone too far."
"How can you falsely accuse someone like this? Adults should be responsible for their words. This child is more sensible than you!"
Song Mama was once again criticized, but she still refused to apologize. Instead, she turned her anger towards her own son. "It's all your fault! Why didn't you assemble the airplane model properly? They could advance, but why couldn't you? How could I have given birth to such a useless son? You're going to be the death of me."
Song Yicheng remained unfazed by his mother's accusations, like a puppet. He had grown numb to such words calling him useless in front of others; this time, it was just in front of even more people.
The host immediately interjected, "Ms. Song, please mind your words. While Song Yicheng is your son, he is also a contestant invited by our production team. Please show respect to every contestant."
"I'm talking about my son, what's it to you? You're meddling too much." Song Mama was like a mad dog, biting anyone she could.
Before the competition, she had believed her son was destined to be the champion. Little did she expect him not even to make it into the top three. This drastic drop in expectations had made her lose her reason."
