Chapter 1676: Chapter 1655: Just a Coincidence
If there are benefits, everyone can share them. It’s just a few words, no cost to clean one’s image, and it brings others great publicity, earning others’ full support. Only a fool wouldn’t do this.
Not to ntion, as long as Gao Yang hasn’t committed so unforgivable cri, the millions of mbers of the National Rifle Association are a strong backing for him. As for the International Practical Shooting Confederation, of course, they have to support Gao Yang, because we’re all one of their own now.
Gao Yang’s words were t once again with enthusiastic applause, which made him feel a bit uninterested because everything was pre-planned and the audience could be said to be all his supporters. But that was fine since it made Gao Yang feel relaxed.
The host was very satisfied with Gao Yang’s response, as he got the answer he wanted.
At this mont, Rick wanted to make his presence felt and smiled, saying, “Gao, can you give a brief introduction of yourself to everyone? We’re very curious about you and want to know more.”
Gao Yang pointed to his sunglasses, then said with a wry smile, “I’m sorry, I really can’t say too much, security issues must be considered. Although the possibility of retaliation is not high, it does exist, and for the sake of my family, I must maintain so degree of privacy. Also, an important factor is that I don’t want my life or my family’s life to be disrupted. I can hardly believe it, but when I ca here for the show, soone recognized the mont I walked in and wanted my autograph and a photo, which was a very different experience for . Uh, I don’t want to be too famous, especially not to the point where it disrupts my life.”
Lili Zhang laughed, “But you’re already famous.”
Gao Yang shrugged, “Yes, but after I leave here and take off my sunglasses, most people won’t recognize anymore. In that case, I’ll feel much more at ease.”
Just then, Ryan shouted, “We have two other guests in our show today who are eager to tell you sothing in person.”
With that, Ryan stood up and loudly said, “Now, let’s bring out two special guests. Their identities are very special because they are survivors of last week’s attack.”
Gao Yang didn’t know there was such a segnt. He stood up and with the applause, two people quickly walked out. A middle-aged man with an arm in a sling, a young girl, and a woman in her forties erged.
The man with the sling opened his left arm and, very excitedly, hugged Gao Yang for a mont. Then, extrely emotionally, he said, “Hello, Mr. Gao, I’m so glad to have this chance to thank you in person. You saved my life. My family and I are deeply grateful, forever grateful to you.”
Afterward, the man pointed to the audience, where over ten people stood and clapped vigorously. Obviously, the man’s family had co.
The woman wasn’t hurt. After she hugged Gao Yang with excitent, she choked up and said, “I fell to the ground back then, and a terrorist pointed a gun at my head. I thought I was really going to die. You saved . I can’t imagine what my children would do without . I have three kids. I can’t imagine never seeing them again. Thank you for saving , thank you.”
The last was the girl who shouted, “My na is Signy Michel. I’m fifteen years old. You might not recognize , but you might rember my dad. He’s the security guard you saved, the one most seriously injured in the attack. He still can’t move, so I’m here to thank you on his behalf. My dad said he wanted you to know how grateful he is that you saved him. And for , I can’t afford to lose my dad, especially in a terrorist attack. My mom died in 9/11. I really can’t lose my dad in another terrorist attack.”
As she spoke, the girl started crying. At fifteen, if her mother died in 9/11, then she was just born not long after.
The scene was in a commotion because the girl’s situation was indeed quite tragic, losing her mother in a terrorist attack and almost losing her father this ti. It easily touched on people’s tear points.
Gao Yang gently hugged the girl who seed a bit impatient, then Lili Zhang hugged the girl to comfort her. Of course, then it was about how Gao Yang accepted the gratitude from these survivors.
Later, O’Reilly tried several tis to steer the topic back to the terrorist attack, but Gao Yang wouldn’t cooperate. Then another two hosts pulled the topic back to Gao Yang. Overall, the show went smoothly.
Talking for a while, Ryan clapped his hands and with a mysterious face, said, “Gao, let ask you a question, one that lots of people are interested in. We’ve noticed when you charged the first terrorist to grab the gun, you threw two things to distract the terrorist, followed by a loud shout. Though it damaged your vocal cords, you successfully intimidated the terrorist. Experts say your sequence of actions was vital and effective, allowing you the chance to seize the gun.”
Gao Yang didn’t want people to think he had a lot of experience in disarming guns, so he exaggerated, “Oh, well, yeah, at the ti I didn’t think, I just instinctively threw whatever I had.”
Ryan smiled faintly and then said loudly, “But our interest lies here, everyone watch.”
A small screen showed a video of Gao Yang delivering a powerful kick, then the scene switched to another of Gao Yang’s kicking videos. But that was from his past when he kicked for a Taekwondo dojo.
Sure enough, they found the similarity and played it before millions of TV viewers. Gao Yang couldn’t help but shudder inside.
Rick pointed to the screen, then smiled, “Many people say, he is you, and you are him, Mr. Gao, do you admit it?”
Gao Yang touched his chin, then said reluctantly, “He’s a Huaxia person.”
“Yes.”
“I’m also a Huaxia person.”
“Really? You avoided this question before, so we’re just finding out.”
Gao Yang clapped his hands and laughed, “Now you know I’m a Huaxia person. Don’t you know most Huaxia people know martial arts? Of course, not all, but many do. Coincidentally, I know martial arts too. More coincidentally, I practice the sa martial art as that guy. We both practice ‘Power King Kong Leg’, and use the sa martial art, so it looks similar, but we’re not the sa person. Does my explanation make sense to you?”
