"Did you get those guys kicking Tang off the plane?"
"Got it. I also caught the guy in the back about to pull his gun."
"I got it too. I'll post it on Twitter as soon as we land, it's bound to get a lot of attention."
"Oh, why didn't I think of that? I'm in too."
The passengers on the plane all took out their phones to film Tang Long, the captain, and the flight attendant with a constipated expression. Some were even explaining as they filmed.
"The plane had a sudden need for someone to give up their seat, and the flight attendant said it was a random selection of passengers. But the four people chosen were all minorities, Chinese, and a camel person. Who knew they'd run into a tough nut this time. That snobby flight attendant probably never watched NBA and actually tried to kick Tang Long off the plane."
The flight attendant, hearing the passengers' explanations, became so angry she wanted to snatch their phones.
She wasn't afraid of the airline's punishment anymore. What worried her was the video getting out. Not only would Tang Long's fans be after her, but those camel people might even kill her.
In the United States, camel people also face discrimination, but no one would openly provoke them like this.
"What are you doing? You're trying to snatch my phone? Believe me, I'll report you."
The American passengers were not afraid of the flight attendant and started filming her directly.
The captain, overwhelmed by the noisy cabin, glared fiercely at the flight attendant.

Anyone else would have asked who was so formidable, but this was clearly an attempt to shift the conflict from the airline to himself.
After all, it was the airline's mistake. But if Tang Long acted like this, it would escalate into a showdown between two powerful parties, which would only benefit the airline.
So Tang Long focused on one point: the airline's mistake.
As for anything else, that was the airline's problem, not his.
"Alright, I'll prepare for takeoff."
The captain could only nod.
After gesturing for the ground crew to leave, only the flight attendant remained, her face flushed, wishing she could disappear into a hole.
Tang Long, too lazy to deal with her, turned to the Chinese student and said calmly:
"If you don't fight for your own rights, no one will fight for you. Besides, we Chinese need to be united. Don't come out here and think the air is sweeter just because you've been abroad for a couple of days."
The Chinese student, lectured by Tang Long, had a flushed face but a venomous look in her eyes. Clearly, Tang Long's words had not made her realize her mistake; instead, she resented him.
Tang Long sighed helplessly and sat back in his seat, realizing the long road ahead.
"Actually, you should have let them kick you off."
As soon as he sat down, Jonas teased Tang Long, "Leave it to me to handle it. The airline's compensation would start at least at ten million US dollars."
"I'm not short on money."
"That's just how Tang is. You'll understand when you get to know him better."
Bill Daffy chimed in, and the three fastened their seatbelts, waiting for takeoff. Just then, the lights that had been turned on were turned off again, and several people boarded the plane.
Following that, the passengers who had initially been selected were arranged to change flights. However, these people clearly knew Tang Long was a superstar and didn't dare to provoke him, so they decided to kick the student behind him off the plane.
"Can you find someone else? I need to go to San Francisco for an exam, and it's very important to me."
"Please cooperate."
With that, two ground crew members were about to escort the student off the plane.
Where was the student's earlier composure now? She started throwing a tantrum, crying and snotting, and others were telling her to get off and not delay everyone.
"This exam is really important to me. I've studied abroad diligently for three years. If I can't take this exam, I won't get my degree certificate."
"I'm sorry, please cooperate."
The ground crew didn't care if she had an exam. Two burly men were about to force her off the plane.
The foreigners naturally had no interest in such matters. The student had looked down on Chinese people earlier, and now no one was willing to pay attention to her.
The student had been too pretentious before. At this moment, her accent from Taiwan naturally slipped out.
She was from Taiwan.
Tang Long was so amused he almost laughed.
Damn it.
Coming out here pretending to be from mainland China.
But after all, she was of Chinese descent. Taiwanese people might be mischievous, but they could still be educated on the mainland.
"Hold on. Let her go."
Tang Long stood up, picked up the two ground crew members like a small chicken, and tossed them directly out of the plane.
