I am Really a Superstar

Chapter 1498 - Zhang Ye reaches the summit of Asia!



Chapter 1498: Zhang Ye reaches the summit of Asia!





The livestream was cut off.


The concert was over.


Zhang Ye felt very relaxed as he said with a smile to Director Dong and the others, “Let’s go.”


A police officer produced an arrest warrant. It did not bear the seal of the district or city’s public security bureaus, but instead bore the impressive stamp of the Ministry of Public Security. “Zhang Ye, we are officially informing you that we are starting formal investigations into you as a suspect. Come with us,” he said as took out handcuffs.


Fan Yingyun shouted, “Who dares to handcuff Teacher Zhang!”


Meng Yi, Fang Xiaoshui, and the others from the First Department glared daggers at him!


The police officer said, “Officer Fan, we’re just going by routine, you—”


Director Dong spoke at this time. “Put away your handcuffs!”


That police officer hesitated for a moment before stowing his handcuffs.


Then Director Dong walked up to Zhang Ye with a complicated expression. “Teacher Zhang, we were not supposed to handle your arrest this time. But as you’ve worked with us at the First Department before, that makes us fellow colleagues and comrades. I didn’t think you would want it to be anyone else in the end, so I requested permission from the leaders for us to be here.”


Zhang Ye smiled and said, “Thank you.”


They left the venue.


And got into the police vehicle.


Then Zhang Ye left.


He left in a carefree and dashing manner.


This concert was destined to go down in history because no one had ever held a concert at such a large venue before, nor had any celebrity ever bid farewell in such a way before. This was who Zhang Ye was. Even if he were going to leave, he would go out with a bang. Even if the curtains had to fall, he would bow out in a soul-stirring manner!



At this moment.


The outside world was in an uproar!


All of Asia blew up!


Everything had happened so suddenly that no one was prepared for it. Zhang Ye’s family and friends, his studio, the Chinese entertainment industry, and all of the Asian media outlets were in chaos at this moment. Some people were even staring blankly at their monitors on which the livestream had been disconnected, unable to accept the news they had just found out about. This was the biggest concert to happen in Asia. This was supposed to be Zhang Ye’s most glorious moment! A lot of people could not accept this!


“Zhang Ye gets arrested by the police!”


“Hacker 2’s true identity!”


“Shocking! Zhang Ye turns out to be the hacker with the highest bounty in the world!”


“The biggest ‘earthquake’ in the history of the Asian entertainment circle!”


“Police disclosure: Zhang Ye turned himself in!”


“Lawyer analysis: Zhang Ye could face many years of jail time!”



On Weibo.


“He’s about to become a father!”


“Based on what are they arresting him!”


“Back then, the Korean hackers got what they deserved!”


“Release him!”


“Release him!”


“Let’s start a petition!”


“Yeah! I’ll write the petition!”


“Count me in!”



The Japanese Internet was in an uproar!


“Zhang Ye?”


“Hacker 2?”


“So it was him?”


“W-Wasn’t he the one who made those comics?”


“Isn’t he a host?”



At Shōnen Publishing.


“Oh my god, Hacker 2 is him!”


“How does he know everything!”


“Just what kind of a person is this fellow, really?!”


“After the comics were castrated, he went on to meddle in the hacker industry?”



Korea.


The citizens were dumbfounded!


“How could it be him?”


“Why is it him again?”


The Panda Burning Incense incident was actually caused by him?”


“Heavens!”


“Why does he have to keep latching onto us!”


“The two biggest public enemies of Korea, Zhang Ye and Hacker #2, are actually the same fucking person? How can that be! Can this fellow be any more ruthless than this!”



At Central TV.


“This—this—”


“Teacher Zhang, he’s—”


“He’s going away just like that?”


“How can it possibly be him!”



At Zhang Ye’s Studio.


“What do we do!”


“Sister Ha, Brother Zuo, what should we do now?”


“Enough talking, let’s head to Director Zhang’s house first. Director Zhang’s parents must have just found out about this as well. They’re old and won’t be able to accept this. Little Wang, go and get the car!”



At Old Rao’s house.


“How dare you all arrest my senior bro? I’ll go and get him out!”


“Little Yang, come back right now!”


“But my senior bro is—no, I have to save him!”


“With those lowly skills of yours, who do you think you can save? You’d only be causing more trouble if you go there. With his martial arts level, if he wishes to leave, do you think they would be able to stop him?”


“But! But—”



Dong Shanshan’s home.


Several of Zhang Ye’s old classmates were gathered here.


“This fellow is such a bastard!”


“He’s going to leave the entertainment circle just like that?”


“How carefree of him! But has he spared a thought for the others!”



Xu Meilan’s house.


“Sister Lan, this—”


“Hurry up, I want you to head over to Zhang Ye’s Studio immediately.”


“Alright!”


“Help them out with whatever is necessary.”



At the Internet Surveillance Bureau.


“What will happen to Teacher Zhang?”


“It’s still debatable for the CIH virus since there was a global alert put in place for it, and it didn’t spread. But for the Panda Burning Incense virus—”


“Actually, by arresting Teacher Zhang first, it should be a form of protection for him by the higher-ups. The Koreans and Americans are all asking for his head, but we definitely cannot let them get their hands on him. It seems like the higher-ups have already reached an agreement on that internally.”


“But—”


“Handling it like this is the best that the higher-ups can do.”


“B-But I really like him.”


“Me too, Zhang Ye is such a special person.”



People cried.


People scolded.


People shouted.


And there were those who wanted to attempt a prison break.


This night was destined to not be a quiet one. All of Asia had been plunged into chaos over a single name!


Zhang Ye!


Zhang Ye!


And still, Zhang Ye!


Japan.


Korea.


China.


This name and his story were being gossiped about all across Asia.


Even many of Zhang Ye’s foes had mixed emotions at this moment. This name had caused them to grit their teeth in hatred countless times in the past, but when they found out that Zhang Ye was going away, when they heard that this name would no longer be in the entertainment industry, they still sighed. At the same time, they were a little envious of him. The largest concert held in Asia, with a 100,000-strong crowd sharing the stage with him, was livestreamed nationwide in China. With all of Asia’s attention on him, he had chosen to end his entertainment career at this time. Indeed, he was still the Zhang Ye from before. At the very end, this fellow still managed to leave in such an earth-shattering manner. At the very end, they still could not outdo him even once.


There had never been such a celebrity in the entertainment circle before!


Not in the past!


And definitely not in the future!



On this night.


Amid the commotion, the Asian Celebrity Rankings Index was updated!


When the Chinese citizens checked it, they were immediately stunned!


When some of the Korean citizens saw it, their faces paled!


When some of the Japanese citizens went to have a look, they were also left dumbfounded!


“The Asian Celebrity Rankings Index has been refreshed!”


“Quickly go and have a look! It has been updated!’


“How’s it look?”


“S-list!”


“He’s on the Asian S-list rankings!”


“Teacher Zhang has reached the summit!”


“Teacher Zhang has reached the summit of the Asian entertainment circle!”


On this day.


On this night.


Zhang Ye’s almost crushing popularity catapulted him from third place in the Asian A-list rankings directly into the Asian S-list rankings. He had become the newly-crowned Asian Heavenly King. This was the highest honor in the Asian entertainment industry. The goal that Zhang Ye had been working so hard towards was finally realized on the day of his departure from the entertainment circle!


Ha Qiqi wept!


Many of the staff at Zhang Ye’s Studio also teared up!


Director Zhang, you’ve reached the summit!


You’ve finally reached the summit in both China and Asia!


Are you seeing this?


Do you know what has just happened?
