Chapter 1292 - 1292: Slimming Candy

Just as Bai Huanyu expected, the guests below the stage had begun discussing Bai Tieniu's words and actions at this moment.

"Talking about a father's love being like a mountain but calling himself 'I, your father' in front of his own dad, that's quite contradictory."

"That's just the way people talk at events, like saying 'Since you're here, why not take something', it's all understood with a wink!"

"Don't you feel something's off? I feel like Bai Tieniu seems a bit flustered and exasperated."

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding fell into a brief silence.

Guests woke up and, with puzzled gazes, looked at Bai Tieniu who was furious on the stage.

If this ongoing song was pre-arranged, then Bai Tieniu shouldn't be reacting this way.

Looking at Bai Huanyu's expression again, people gradually realized that Bai Huanyu and Bai Tieniu probably weren't aware of this unstoppable music beforehand.

No wonder Bai Tieniu was so out of sorts.

When do people lose control of their emotions?

Of course, when being exposed in public!

Thinking of this, the guests had more understanding and sympathy in their eyes.

However, understanding and sympathy aside, the smile at the corners of their mouths couldn't be concealed.

But the guests who were watching Bai Huanyu and Bai Tieniu's embarrassment didn't know yet what awaited them next…

As Bai Huanyu and Bai Tieniu left the stage, the stage tech team frantically rushed to the sound system, risking their ears being deafened, and started removing the batteries from the wireless speakers.

The guests below the stage started another round of discussions.

"Slimming candy?"

A group of all-female guests at a table had one elegantly dressed woman pick up a "candy" labeled "Slimming Candy" from the plate of sweets on the table.

The candy's packaging was red, and beneath the words "Slimming Candy", there was another line of similar-sized text: Not for use under eighteen years old!

The so-called slimming candy was naturally the handiwork of Xiao Feng.

And the reason for the warning "Not for use under eighteen" wasn't just to attract curiosity and attention.

The primary reason was indeed considering that some people might bring children to the banquet,

If careless parents fed their kids a pill called slimming candy but was actually a mood management pill, then it would truly be unkind!

Of course, if despite clear warnings, some parents were still stubborn enough to give it to their children, then Xiao Feng couldn't be blamed.

With parents like that, it's only a matter of time before something happens to the child!

"Interesting!" The lady holding the slimming candy opened the packaging after examining it, took out a milk-white round ball, put it in her mouth, and commented:

"Hmm, the taste is nice, sweet without being overwhelming. I just don't know if it truly has slimming effects?"

Another lady at the same table scoffed: "Give it a rest. It's just a gimmick. Eating candy will only make you fatter."

However, while saying this, she reached out and grabbed a slimming candy, peeling off the wrapper and tasting it.

In the male guests' area directly below the stage, a similar scene was unfolding.

"Never soft?"

A bearded man picked up a candy labeled "Never Soft" from the candy plate.

"The design on this is quite intriguing, like that thing of ours."

"Not just the design, look at the back; it says 'raise your head in three minutes, hard as iron in five minutes, won't soften for half an hour. Is this even candy?"

"Just taste one and you'll know!"

Feeling brave, someone grabbed a handful of "Never Soft" gummy candies and distributed them among the guests at the table.

For the sake of saving face, no one felt it appropriate to refuse.

So, one by one, they peeled off the wrappers and popped the candies into their mouths.

Xiao Feng watched these details on the big screen, calmly remarking, "Seems like there's going to be a good show soon."

Du Qingyue and the others perked up but waited a full three minutes, and nothing happened at the scene.

"What's going on? Did Old Zhao's drug fail?" The young girl expressed disappointment.

Xiao Feng shook his head and denied, "I had Old Zhao adjust the activation time to ten to fifteen minutes after ingestion.

From the looks of it, the time for those who ate the candy to start showing effects should be just when Bai Huanyu and Bai Tieniu appear back on stage."

Du Qingyue and the others exchanged glances, recalling Bai Huanyu's first time on stage speaking, interrupted by the "widespread leg breaking of chairs" incident.

The second appearance was when father and son were together on stage, a serious and solemn occasion, yet ruined by music blaring from the speakers, causing a loss of face.

Bai Tieniu's mindset even exploded as a result, repeatedly calling himself "I, your father" in front of Bai Huanyu, causing a huge joke.

As the saying goes, things don't happen a third time.

If it happens one more time, Bai Huanyu and Bai Tieniu couldn't possibly continue with the ceremony, could they?

Meanwhile, backstage.

Bai Tieniu's eyes were bloodshot, and he punched the sound engineer's face: "Damn you!"

"Ah!" The sound engineer, his arms pinioned left and right by two people, let out a scream followed by a "puff".

A front tooth appeared amidst the bloody froth.

Bai Tieniu was still unsatisfied, pounding the sound engineer again and again.

Eyes, nose, abdomen, chest, each blow landed solidly.

The sound engineer, his mouth covered, could only utter muffled sounds as tears, snot, and blood mixed, looking extremely distressing.

"Speak! Did Xiao Feng send you?" Bai Tieniu grabbed the sound engineer by the collar and asked harshly.

The sound engineer opened his mouth, but before speaking, fresh blood gushed forth.

"Cough cough cough cough cough..."

After a bout of intense coughing, the sound engineer replied tearfully, "I, I don't know any Xiao Feng."

"Still dare play tough!" Bai Tieniu's anger rose, grabbing a nearby stage setup steel pipe and towering over the kneeling sound engineer, he roared:

"I'll give you one, and only one chance. Did Xiao Feng send you or not?"

"No... I really don't know any Xiao Feng!" The sound engineer replied tremblingly.

Bai Tieniu seemed to have reached the peak of his rage, swung the steel pipe toward the sound engineer's temple.

"Enough!" Bai Huanyu intervened, "Stop him!"

The two security guards beside the sound engineer quickly reacted.

One grabbed the sound engineer by the collar and dragged him back, while the other blocked Bai Tieniu's swing with his arm.

"Bang!"

"Ah..." The security guard inhaled sharply, as the intense pain nearly made him pass out.

Bai Huanyu took a few steps forward to stop in front of the security guard, saying, "Hurry to the hospital, medical costs, lost wages, salary, bonuses, everything will be taken care of."

The security guard thanked him, clutching his arm, and hurried off.

"Stay calm, impulsivity is the devil!" Bai Huanyu laid his hand on Bai Tieniu's shoulder, speaking with utmost seriousness.

However, while verbally advising his son to calm down, he himself was finding it hard to maintain composure.
