Hugo felt that he was a little cruel, he was forcing a person who was forced to the extreme by pressure and rumors to continue to be strong, and he also knew that Michael had no more strength to continue to persevere, many times, the strength required to be strong was far beyond imagination, Michael has been strong enough, so long that he is now as fragile as if he is broken at the touch of a touch, the betrayal of Chandler and his son is the cross on the shoulder of Jesus, which crushed Michael directly, and now Hugo is still asking Michael to continue to be strong, which is really too cruel.

But Hugo didn't want to give up, he really didn't want to, "Michael, you're a fighter, you're a fighter, you've been holding on for so long, think of all those ugly rumors against you, think of all the ridiculous rumors that say you're trying to bleach your skin, think of all the disgusting news that maliciously distorts all your actions...... You've persevered, you've been tenaciously persevering, how terrible and terrible those days were, but you persevered! Are you going to give up now? ”

Hugo felt that his feelings were also a little out of control, if it was before, he might just hate those reporters for talking nonsense, but now, Hugo himself is in this circle, and he is suffering from the so-called "freedom of speech" of journalists, and that kind of empathy makes Hugo unable to stay calm.

Hugo knew that he shouldn't force Michael, Hugo also knew that he and Michael were not familiar with each other, Hugo also knew that Michael was very defensive, and his urgency was likely to only make Michael hate him more and more...... But Hugo just can't control it, he doesn't want to see such an ending, he doesn't want to see those media end a superstar's artistic career with ugly and obscene means......

"Those shameful and disgusting crows must want you to give up, they want you to give up, they want you to give up, so that they can rejoice in the wolf bèi that you have fallen from heaven into the mire, and they will watch your jokes with champagne and cigars! Think about it, Chandler's dirty methods are about to succeed, the ugly faces of the crows are about to be triumphant, you know what will happen if you give up, you know that those evil bystanders are waiting for this moment, you have been holding out for so long, now give up? God, this is not you, this is not you I know! ”

Hugo is no longer cautious, he no longer suppresses his inner feelings, he completely releases all his thoughts on his phone, he doesn't care what Michael thinks of himself, he just doesn't want Michael to give up and then sink like this, he wants Michael to continue to persevere, that's all.

"Michael, remember the first time we met, you told me something? The best way to fight back against these rumors in the media is to be ourselves, because the truth will not be shaken by these rumors. Hugo angrily vented all his inner feelings, there was a dead silence on the other end of the phone, Hugo was not even sure if Michael was still listening, but he had to do it, he had to vent all his thoughts and expectations, otherwise he would definitely regret it, and in the future when he read the news of Michael's demise in the newspaper, he would definitely regret it!

"I don't want to give up, because I don't know how to give up, I'm so stupid, so stupid that I just know how to bury my head and rush forward, so that I don't even know if I'm broken. But I know that now is not the time to give up, at least not now. You know, the black clouds cover the sky and the sun, the night seems to never end, and even makes people wonder if the sun will never rise, whether they will never see the light of the morning sun again, but I know, you know, we all know that the sun will rise, it will rise eventually, and all we need to do is just hold on, hold on a little longer, maybe in the next second, the light of the morning will tear the whole black night to shreds. So, hold on a little longer, and the sun will rise soon, and it's just the pre-dawn darkness. ”

After Hugo finished speaking, he only felt that the whole person was in such pain, he buried his head deep between his knees, and his left hand was stretched out and inserted into his hair, he knew very well that Michael was standing on the edge of the cliff now, and he tried all his best to watch Michael fall, this feeling was so bad that he curled up and down, so that his whole body trembled slightly.

History, can it really be changed? Maybe not, maybe Michael will sink after all, maybe Hugo-Lancaster will disappear after all, then all Hugo's efforts so far will not count, all his persistence and all his struggles will disappear, it is like a long dark night, never see the end, and when I understand it, I realize that this is the polar night of the Northern Hemisphere, and the sun will never rise.

Hugo's anger was clearly transmitted to Michael's ears through the microphone, he was silent, his heart was trembling slightly, he could feel the vigorous anger and surging vitality from Hugo's words, Hugo was unwilling to give up, Hugo was always unwilling to give up, was he going to give up himself?

With Hugo's shouting, Michael didn't know why he remembered a small incident when he was a child, his father beat him with a leather whip, he couldn't even remember why his father beat him, because such things were so frequent, his father would even be furious because he accidentally leaked the fries on the table, that day, his father beat him hard with a leather whip, the other brothers and sisters in the family were scared and trembled, and his mother could only stand by and watch, at that time, He almost thought that he would not live until tomorrow, the pain in his body began to blur, he didn't even have the strength to howl, he just curled up on the ground like a dead fish, and the whole world was grayed down, and all the light was withdrawn little by little.

This is how Michael remembered that image, and he could even feel the pain on his skin, but Michael knew that he had survived, he had survived after all, and he had seen the sun the next day.

Michael could clearly feel Hugo's gasping sound, and he could feel Hugo's disappointment and stubbornness from the panting voice, which made Michael's eyes moisten, he was really strong for many, many years, so that he was a little numb, and even forgot where the motivation to encourage himself to persevere.

But today, Hugo Lancaster, a child who has only met him once, has reawakened his innermost desire. The world is truly amazing, isn't it? The child he once believed in most betrayed him; The entertainer he once most reluctant to believe in stood firmly behind him.

"Hugo, so, what do you want me to do? What can I do? Michael finally spoke, there was still a hint of weakness in his weak voice, but at least he was willing to speak again to break the silence between the two people, "You know, this is the United States, Jordan is a minor, his testimony is conclusive, almost irreversible, even if it goes to court, the jury will sympathize with Jordan, the so-called victim, I, an adult, am a heinous villain in the jury, although they can't show evidence to prove that I lied, but again, I also can't produce evidence that Jordan is lying, and the jury is willing to believe Jordan, not me, what do you want me to do? ”

Although Michael's voice is still full of powerlessness, it is also more vibrant than before, and it can be seen that he was moved by Hugo just now, at least he is willing to think, share and argue. This may be a start.

Hugo was silent in the face of Michael's rebuttal, because he knew how difficult this qiē was, and he knew that if neither Jackson nor Chandler could end up presenting conclusive evidence, then the jury would surely be willing to believe Jordan, because he was a child, he was a minor, he was still a direct victim, and that was what the law could give.

In this way, all Hugo's previous efforts seem so ridiculous and so powerless.

Hugo opened his mouth, he wanted to say, trick Chandler into telling the truth, and then record it with a tape recorder; But soon Hugo knew that this was impossible, because Chandler and his son were determined to calculate Michael, and they must be vigilant before the lawsuit ended, especially after Hugo's "witch trial" wave, they were more vigilant, not to mention, there are countless paparazzi watching, and there is no way for this illegally obtained evidence to enter the court to decide the verdict.

That's the law.

Hugo said so much, but was dumbfounded by Michael's simple words, because Hugo knew that Michael was telling the truth. This made Hugo feel very ironic, and the so-called justice is also full of irony in real life, just as "keeping peace" can also be a weapon for the United States to sanction other countries - oil countries - this is the reality, this is the real world.

The real world is really terrible, but there is so little Hugo can do other than swearing, after all, he is not Superman, after all, this is not the world of comics.

"So...... What did you decide to do? Hugo knew that he couldn't force Michael anymore, he couldn't say anything, and the pressure on Michael's shoulders at this time was beyond everyone's imagination, and he couldn't and didn't have the right to ask Michael to continue to be strong, because if he was in Michael's place, he might have been broken up a long time ago.

When Michael heard Hugo's voice, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I plan to settle out of court." ”

"What? Michael, you're bowing to Chandler, you're surrendering, isn't it? Hugo blurted out, but when he finished speaking, he also realized that he had gone back to the previous topic, and things were not going at all, which made Hugo open his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.

Michael was not surprised by Hugo's words, he chuckled, "You really don't want to give up." Michael realized that he had chuckled, which was so rare that he couldn't even forget how long it had been since he had smiled.
