Chapter 147: A New Crisis; The Remnants of a Former Drug Dealer!
“Hmm? Big Brother is coming to Xiyun City, our city?”
“Xiyun City is a big city, too. I didn’t expect Big Brother to choose Xiyun City!”
“Big Brother’s been aggressive all along, directly attacking any vehicle that gets close. And he even plans to blow up Xiyun Bridge in our Xiyun City? That bridge is our city’s only connection to the southern cities!”
“There’s a cross-river bridge in Xiyun City? Blowing up that bridge would buy Big Brother and his crew a lot of time. Is that why Wang Yun chose Xiyun City?”
“Wow, does that mean the audience from Xiyun City won’t be able to watch Big Brother’s livestream anymore?”
Meanwhile, as Wang Yun and his convoy made their way toward Xiyun City, the viewers in the livestream couldn’t stop discussing. This was especially true for viewers from Xiyun City, who were vigorously debating.
The Xiyun Bridge, a crucial cross-river structure, played an essential role in the entire city’s transportation network. Vehicles from the west must pass through the Xiyun Bridge.
As Wang Yun’s convoy reached the bridge, they slowed down.
“Old Song, Brother Hu, get ready. Place fifty explosives here,” Wang Yun commanded.
They drove to a blind spot out of the surveillance camera’s reach and came to a slow halt. Wang Yun and his team then got out, strategically placed explosives on the bridge, and set the timers for detonation.“Each of you takes two disguise masks. Once we’re in Xiyun City, split up and make your escape,” he directed Brother Hu, Old Song, and the others.
Wang Yun planned to operate solo upon entering Xiyun City, intending not to keep any subordinates with him.
“Understood, Boss!” Brother Hu and the others nodded in agreement.
The team swiftly set up the explosives and then dispersed into different vehicles. Wang Yun, donning a skin mask, took a seat in the backseat of a sedan. Seated in the car was a middle-aged man, his face a perfect copy of Wang Yun’s, with a young man driving. Both were hostages.
Old Song, Brother Hu, and the rest also boarded various sedans, a strategy to aid their escape within Xiyun City.
Though they had demolished the bridge and blocked the path for the program inspection Captains and elite members, program officers still operated within Xiyun City. After all, in reality, if this group of ruthless criminals appeared in Xiyun City, local enforcement would undoubtedly act to apprehend them.
Indeed, inside Xiyun City, two hundred program officers had swiftly mobilized.
The moment Wang Yun’s group released the hostages would signal the moment for Xiyun City’s program officers to enact their arrest.
The convoy resumed and continued moving forward.
“Hmm?”
From behind, the program inspection Captains monitored closely.
“Wang Yun’s convoy halted on the bridge for a few seconds.”
They watched the surveillance and by analyzing the duration and the vehicle’s speeds they deduced that the convoy had stopped on the bridge.
Within the China program inspection team, Wu Mingyu quickly took note and said, “If I were Wang Yun, I would surely plant explosives on the bridge and blow it up. This could delay us by at least an hour.”
“Also, if we followed onto the bridge, it could potentially kill us,” Ying Yuezi remarked, her gaze shimmering with insight.
“This strategy has a 70% likelihood of halting our pursuit, affording them additional time to escape,” Kolyev nodded, expressing his agreement.
“The bridge is just ahead, let’s pause for now. The probability he’s rigged it with explosives is too high, and we can’t afford to take that risk,” Wang Yue suggested. “We could also call our officers in Xiyun City to capture any fugitives we can.”
“Agreed!”
The group nodded.
The vehicles of China’s program inspection team came to a halt. The inspection teams from other countries had made similar conjectures. They stopped their vehicles and waited in silence, not overly shocked or surprised by Wang Yun’s method of delaying them. Given Wang Yun’s notorious difficulty to handle, such tactics were to be expected. They also maintained constant vigilance to avoid becoming the unlucky ones themselves.
Like the China program inspection team, they didn’t idle but began instructing their operatives in Xiyun City to act.
“Alert: Entrance to Xiyun City will be prohibited for one hour following the detonation of Xiyun Bridge,” the production staff announced a few minutes later.
The leaders of the various program inspection teams received this message without any surprise.

“Being able to enter Xiyun City only after an hour, this is exactly like the start of the Skynet Operation show!”U//ppTodat𝒆d fr/𝒐/m nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)\/m
“Haha. You’re right! it’s quite the coincidence, exactly an hour’s delay, and this time there are dozens of fugitives too!”
In the livestream, all the viewers burst into a frenzy of comments upon hearing this announcement from the program staff. Everything felt eerily similar as if a new season of the Skynet Operation had just kicked off.

“Wang Yun, the one who took down Brother Hao, has come to our city.”
At the same time, in an office, a group of seven or eight middle-aged and young men watched the live broadcast, their eyes shimmering with intensity.
Brother Hao was the drug dealer leader Wang Yun had accidentally run into an abandoned building. That group of drug traffickers was entirely taken down by Wang Yun alone.
At that time, they initially wanted to avenge Brother Hao. However, Wang Yun’s displayed power, coupled with stricter security enforcement in Nancheng, deterred them from acting hastily.
Later on, as Wang Yun revealed even more horrifying tactics and capabilities, they completely abandoned any thoughts of revenge. Particularly after witnessing his terrifying hypnotic skills, they dismissed any notions of revenge.
If they failed and got caught, wouldn’t he directly hypnotize them and expose them? Wouldn’t that be their end?
Yet today, Wang Yun suddenly appeared in their city. He came to their turf. Their domain. This stirred a sense of restlessness in them.
“His power is strong, terrifying even. In Nancheng, he was once targeted by an actual gunman but managed to escape,” spoke a young man to the left.
In a villa complex in Nancheng, Wang Yun had faced an assault from a genuine gunman but escaped. Their shock and disbelief stemmed from his high alertness and vigilance. At that time, multiple gunmen were firing at him.
“Although he escaped that time, it proves that firearms are a great threat to him. If we could get within five meters of him, a single shot and he’s dead,” said the middle-aged man in the center, lighting up a cigarette with a cold expression.
“As long as we can get close to him, the chances of success are quite high. I believe it’s worth taking action,” decided another middle-aged man next to him, his gaze fierce as he clenched his fist.
