Are You Crazy? You’re Telling Me This Is a Fugitive TV Show?

Chapter 174: Ruthless Bandit. This is the Real Ruthless Bandit!

At this moment, everyone watching the live broadcast was utterly impressed. Wang Yun’s tactic of the ‘human bomb’ showcased his role as a ruthless bandit to perfection.

All eyes were on this individual.

This person was also equipped with a camera, allowing Wang Yun to see everything. Consequently, everyone in the livestream could watch a rebroadcast as well.

“Captain! There’s someone here.”

The program inspectors searching for Wang Yun suddenly noticed movement in the grass at twelve o’clock to the south. A figure swiftly flashed by, prompting an immediate response from the inspectors.

“Go!”

Upon hearing the alert, Wang Yue instantly sprinted southwards, with her team of over thirty program inspectors in tow.

“Stop, don’t move! Move again and I’ll shoot!”

The figure of Wang Yun’s subordinate was now visible. He intentionally drew the attention of all the program inspectors. As he ran, he occasionally glanced back, seeing Wang Yue and her team rapidly closing in on him.

They had clear intelligence on Wang Yun, as Zhao Bing had detailed thoroughly. Thus, whether to capture or shoot this man made no difference to their strategy.

Given Wang Yun had fled and left this man behind to monitor, it was clear he had abandoned him. Even if he hadn’t, Wang Yun’s character suggested he wouldn’t risk having this man rejoin him, especially if there was a chance he had been compromised.

Bang! Bang!

Shots rang out from the program inspectors at the front.

Leading the charge were some of the Indian team’s inspectors. Captain Dragon Hand had briefed them before their departure; be decisive upon spotting any traces.

The reputation of the Indian team had suffered too much. They needed to make a statement. Moreover, their national prowess in endurance and sprinting was legendary. Pursuing on foot was practically a walkover for them.

The gunfire continued, echoing shot after shot.

Several times, the bullets almost hit the man. Every tree and patch of ground he passed was shot up, sparks flying off the rocks.

All guns and effects like sparks were simulated for the show.

The gap was closing. The program inspectors were now only fifty meters behind the fleeing man. If not for the dense trees and rugged terrain of the mountain, they would have caught him much sooner.

Suddenly, a small natural waterfall appeared in front of the man, cutting off his path. He could have dived into the waterfall and swam across, but obviously, he couldn’t take that risk. He had a critical mission to complete.

“I surrender, I surrender, don’t shoot!” he cried out.

The program inspectors quickly caught up.

The man turned around, his hands raised high, his face stricken with terror. Despite his evident fear and heavy breathing, his eyes remained resolutely firm. He walked step by step towards the inspectors.

Seeing his intention to surrender, the Indian program inspectors in front momentarily lowered their guard.

“Don’t move!” shouted an inspector from the Indian team loudly.

The man hastily nodded in agreement. “Okay, okay, I won’t move! Just let me live!”

He then fell to his knees with a thud.

Seeing his actions, the program inspectors exchanged glances. They promptly holstered their weapons and advanced to restrain him.

“Wait,” one of them hesitated, a sudden suspicion arising. “Something’s off. Assassins don’t surrender this easily!”

“Look at the waterfall behind him, it’s not big at all!” another pointed out. “And his gaze seems vacant.”

Wang Yue had just caught up and saw the assassin kneeling on the ground from a distance. She quickly grabbed an inspector’s binoculars to scrutinize the waterfall. It was naturally formed and quite shallow. The water flow was gentle and easy for anyone who could swim to cross.

“Why would an assassin surrender in such a situation?” pondered Wang Yue, her face turning grave with realization. “Be careful, don’t approach him!” she shouted. “He’s been hypnotized!”

But her warning came too late. Ten program inspectors had already carefully approached him, followed by three more from the Chinese team who couldn’t stop in time. Thirteen in total.

However, just as these thirteen people were about fifteen meters away from the man, he suddenly moved. His previously frightened expression twisted into something ferocious. With a roar, he ripped open the shirt on his chest and viciously yanked the detonation wires exposed beneath.

A shocking and fearful image unfolded. The program inspectors had no time to react to the events that unfolded in just half a second.

Boom! The next moment, the mountain shook violently. Every bird in the vicinity was startled, flapping their wings and screeching sharply as they took to the sky.

Simultaneously, a piercing alarm sounded.

“You are out,” announced the voice of the production crew in the ears of all thirteen people.

“Bomb! Human bomb!”

Wang Yue and others stood up from behind a rock. Though it was a simulated bomb, the demonstration had to be realistic. In a real situation, the force of the explosion would certainly have caused the surrounding rocks and trees to shake and debris to scatter. Without finding proper cover, injuries were inevitable.

“Damn it!”

Wang Yue rushed over, her eyes filled with fury as she looked down at her inspectors sprawled on the ground–three of whom were from her own team of program inspectors.

“He… he was actually wearing a bomb,” a fellow program inspector at the scene uttered in disbelief, horrified by the tragic sight before them.

“This isn’t the first time Wang Yun has done this,” she exclaimed. “It’s my fault, I didn’t keep up in time.”

Wang Yue was overwhelmed with grief as she observed the scene, which painfully reminded her of a similar event that had previously unfolded in a tunnel. She had let her guard down.

If only she had noticed sooner. If only she had warned her team earlier. Or, perhaps if not all their attention had been focused on chasing this single assassin, they might have mitigated the losses.

Thirteen program inspectors, thirteen lives!

Despite knowing it was all an act, Wang Yue felt an ache in her heart as sharp as if a thousand arrows had pierced through it. The sense of immersion was profoundly intense.

“Captain Wang Yue, it’s not your fault. The man was hypnotized,” Ying Yuezi’s voice came through the intercom as they witnessed the scene unfold.

“Wang Yun is heartless. No one expected him to hypnotize his own men to turn them into human bombs,” Ying Yuezi added, her voice low and shocked.

The room fell into stunned silence, everyone’s faces etched with horror.

“He’s merciless. He actually let his own man sacrifice himself. Is he even human?” Kolyev exclaimed loudly, cursing.

Wu Yaoming shook his head bitterly. “Indeed, it’s our oversight. Wang Yun has always been a ruthless fugitive from the start. A true ruthless fugitive!”
