However, Fang Liu didn’t explain this to the director. Instead, she mentioned that she had threatened Da Bao after the surgery, saying that the dog’s spirit would come and haunt him.

Fang Liu told the director that he should not mention her threats if the television station decided to broadcast the show. She also said that the change in Da Bao was strange, and there were no explanations for it.

This would give the audience a sense of mystery. The show would undoubtedly perform better when the time came.

The director nodded repeatedly and could not help but be surprised. “I didn’t expect you to think that far ahead, Doctor Fang. You know where to find me should you consider changing careers. Hahaha!”

Da Bao’s condition had almost stabilized when the film crew returned from the countryside. After arriving home, the film crew gathered for a banquet. When Fang Liu arrived, she heard some surprising news from them. When the film crew prepared to return to Southern City, they told Old Man Tang that they had filmed the entirety of Da Bao’s treatment. They also mentioned that it would be broadcast on television.

However, they would censor everyone’s faces and disguise their voices before broadcasting the footage.

The director thought Old Man Tang would agree to this since Fang Liu had successfully cured his grandson. The film crew even patiently cared for Da Bao for an extended time. But the director didn’t expect Old Man Tang to go crazy after hearing that they had filmed everything. Old Man Tang picked up a shovel and smashed the film crew’s car. He even destroyed some valuable equipment that was in the vehicle.

The director and cameraman were stunned. There was an assistant who had accompanied the director as well. He was so scared that he became petrified. The director thundered, “What are you doing?! Stop!” But Old Man Tang carried the shovel and fiercely waved it at the film crew. Since the film crew didn’t dare to retaliate, Old Man Tang became even more audacious.

“I forbade you from filming and told you that you’re not allowed to put my grandson and me on television! You’d better delete everything you’ve filmed, or I’m not letting you leave!”

The director suppressed his anger and said to Old Man Tang, “You signed an agreement with us. We wouldn’t have come here if it weren’t for that. Also, Doctor Fang managed to cure your grandson. Otherwise, your grandson would only be able to bark or just pretend to be mute for the rest of his life.”

“We’ve even stayed at your house for several days to take care of your grandson. You’ve asked to help with farm work, clean up, and we’ve also fed your pigs. We have all done so much for you.”

“Are you even grateful, Old Man Tang? We only did what we came here to do. We only told you what you needed to know. You don’t have the right to treat us like this. What you’re doing is against the law.”

Old Man Tang utterly ignored the director’s reasoning. His eyes were as big as the moon as he retorted, “I am the law around these parts! Do you know who my son is? He’s the county’s deputy commissioner, Tang Qiang! I won’t allow you to leave if you don’t delete the footage you have of us!” Old Man Tang said as he made a phone call.

Several people arrived at Old Man Tang’s home soon after. Since Tang Qiang was the deputy commissioner, several people wanted to please him and Old Man Tang. Therefore, many people came to protect Old Man Tang when he made the phone call.

Rioters came with rakes, shovels, and kitchen knives. They surrounded the film crew and glared at them fiercely as if they would murder the film crew. Fang Liu was scared when she heard this. At the same time, this helped her understand why Old Man Tang and his grandson were so cruel and unruly.

The Tang family were the local snakes, and they were very protective of their family members. Since Da Bao grew up in such an environment, he became lawless and arrogant from a young age.

Fang Liu took a sip of water and asked, “What happened after that?”

The director drank some wine, and his face turned red as his voice became louder. After that, we were locked in a cattle shed. They didn’t give us any food or water, and the smell of cattle fur and cow dung lingered in the air.”

“We also heard the rioters talking about how they wanted to deal with us. Some of them said they would sell the women while the men would be tied up and thrown into the mountains to be eaten by wild beasts.” “The rioters spoke in a specific dialect we couldn’t understand, but Xiao Mei grew up in a town nearby, so she could understand what they were saying. She was so scared that she started crying.”
