Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“We’re going to shoot in a while. You’d better leave with your family first.” It was as if Cheng Shixiang was trying to send away an insensible little girl.
“If I didn’t hear wrongly, you haven’t answered the question of secretly taking our photos. Are you trying to fool us and change the topic?” Tan Mo said coldly, “You think I’m easy to fool just because I am young right?”
Cheng Shixiang’s face darkened, “Young lady, people have to take responsibility for their own words! Secretly taking photos of you? Where’s the evidence? Besides, why would I take photos of you? What’s there for me to secretly take photos of?”
He emphasized the word ‘me’ in the last sentence.
Anyone who heard it would think that he did not care about secretly taking photos of them.
“The evidence is in your phone.” Tan Mo said.
“Phone? Do you still want to take out my phone and search it?” Cheng Shixiang sneered, “How can you be so insulting!”
“know. Today is the first elimination round. It’s understandable to be worried about being eliminated.” Cheng Shixiang suddenly changed his attitude. He took a deep breath and educated her like an elder, “But, to not be eliminated, you’re going to use such underhanded methods. That’s too Shameless!”
Hearing Cheng Shixiang say that, the others could not help but have a slight change of heart.
‘Was this little girl really here to slander Cheng Shixiang so that Tan Jinsheng could smoothly advance to the next round?
‘Whether it was true or not, as long as she caused a ruckus, Cheng Shixiang would not look good.
At that time, they would still have to investigate. Not only would they take up the filming time, but it might also even affect Cheng Shixiang’s performance.
If they investigated for a longer period of time, it would directly cause Cheng Shixiang to be unable to appear on stage punctually. That would be considered as forfeiting the competition, and he would be automatically eliminated.
Naturally, Tan Jinsheng would be able to advance smoothly.
‘Was that really the case?
Tan Jinsheng and his younger sister did such a despicable thing just to advance?
“Secretly taking photos is to secretly film others without their consent. This is a violation of the rights of others, and you need to bear the corresponding legal responsibility.” Tan Mo said indifferently without the slightest panic, “According to Article 42 of the Law of Public Security Administration
Punishment, peeping, secretly taking photos, eavesdropping, and spreading the privacy of others are violations of the rights of the person. They are to be detained for less than five days or fined less than 500 yuan. If the situation is serious, they are to be detained between five to ten days, and they can
also be fined less than 500 yuan.”
“Although it’s not a heavy punishment, it’s not good if word gets out, right?” Tan Mo said indifferently.
“Tl say it again. You have no evidence!” Cheng Shixiang said.
“If I call the police, the police will naturally have the right to search for evidence.” Tan Mo said, “When the time comes, we’ll know whether you have it in your phone.”
“Well, you finally revealed your purpose, right?” Cheng Shixiang stood up.
He was much taller than Tan Mo and pointed at her condescendingly: “Once you call the police, I’ll have to wait for the police to come over and undergo the investigation. Then, I’ll miss the time to go on stage. At that time, Jinsheng will automatically advance to the next stage.”
Cheng Shixaiang sneered, “It’s understandable that you want to win, but using such a despicable method is too much! If you want to win, you’ll have to win openly with your own strength! What face would you have if you win like this? Aren’t you afraid of being ridiculed? Even if you advance, you won’t be
accepted by the audience!”
“can wait for you to finish the stage before calling the police.” Tan Mo said coldly. “My second brother has always been fair and just regardless of whether he wins or loses. We have never disdained to do such a small trick.”
“What I always wanted is for you to delete the photo that you just took on your phone.” Tan Mo said coldly, “If it’s really fair, why take it secretly? What are you trying to do by taking it secretly? Are you trying to spread some rumors on the Internet?”
“Don’t talk nonsense! I’ll say it again. You have no evidence that I took it. Don’t accuse me! What do you mean by spreading it? Did I spread it! You recited that law quite well just now, but you also said that it involved filming and spreading. Did I spread it?” Cheng Shixiang was anxious.
‘When everyone heard what Cheng Shixiang said, was he admitting that he had indeed secretly filmed them?
“You didn’t spread it because I discovered it in time.” Compared to Cheng Shixiang’s anxiety, Tan Mo was still as calm as a millpond, “Moreover, after the victim was secretly filmed, if he thinks that the other party’s actions have involved a criminal offense, he can report it to the public security. If it doesn’t
constitute a criminal offense, he can choose to defend his rights and interests with a civil lawsuit.”
“Lwon’t affect your appearance on stage.” Tan Mo said, “But I will call the police and file a lawsuit.”
“As for whether or not you took any photos, we don’t have to look at your phone to get an answer.” Tan Mo pointed at the cameras hanging in every corner.
These were so that even if the program team did not come to take photos, they could still record the images of the guests.
“Did you raise your phone to take pictures of us? These shots are all recorded.” Tan Mo said, “You just took the photo through the mirror. The camera on the left can capture it.”
“Ican take a selfie in front of the mirror, can’t I?” Cheng Shixiang to hear Tan Mo’s explanation. He knew that if his actions were captured by the camera, he would not be able to escape.
When he took the pictures, he knew that there were cameras.
But he was not afraid.
Because no one would retrieve that footage now. The cameras were installed to record them, not to spy on them.
During the post-editing, even if they saw it, no one would tell anyone.
Tan Mo smiled and said: “Think about it before you say anything.”
Cheng Shixiang, “…”
What did she mean?
What else was there to think about?
Tan Mo pointed behind Cheng Shixiang again: “Did you forget that there’s a camera behind you? Let me think, that’s how you raised your phone just now.”
Tan Mo took out her phone and gestured with it, imitating the exact angle Cheng Shixiang raised his phone.
“You were filming in front of a mirror, and the screen of your phone just happened to show who you were shooting at. The camera can also capture the screen of your phone.” Tan Mo said calmly, “Speaking of which, it’s true that we don’t need you to provide your phone, and we won’t invade your privacy.
We just need to bring up the footage on the camera and see if you’ve taken any photos.”
“In this way, it won’t take long, and it won’t affect your performance on stage.” Tan Mo said.
The rest of the Tan family walked over at this time.
Hearing Tan Mo’s words, they did not need Tan Mo to provide evidence to believe that Cheng Shixiang secretly took photos.
There was no need for Tan Mo to talk about the consequences.
It was not just the Tan family. Everyone present could imagine it.
What did Cheng Shi want to film it for?
Did he want to spread it on the internet?
Even Tan Wenci could imagine the direction the public opinion would be..
