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

Chapter 77 Setting the Stage with Hundreds of Million in Cash as Prop

Brilliant, just brilliant! Captain Hong Feng is indeed giving him a taste of his own medicine. Its like hes issuing a challenge.

The word Rat, is this suggesting that Big Brother is going to end up skulking about like a rat, despised and on the run?

Its a stark warning to Big Brother that his lair has been upended, that hell be dodging through the streets like a rat, no longer able to brazenly strut about as he did.

Did anyone notice? Big Brothers first challenge was thrown at Zhang Xingchen out of a desire for revenge because Zhang attempted to arrest him. The next challenge was a direct response once he realized that Hong Feng issued an arrest warrant for him, prompting him to make his own work aimed at Captain Hong Feng. And now, Captain Hong Feng fully realizes Big Brothers vengeful nature. If he sees this taunt, retaliation is inevitable.

The five captains are also aware that capturing Big Brother hinges on finding out each identity of his disguise masks. This campaigns sole purpose is to strip away one of Big Brothers disguises.

The operation resembles a meticulous game of chess, with each side advancing step by step towards a decisive checkmate.

In the live broadcast, all the viewers looked astonished as they listened to Captain Hong Feng and his teams discussion.

Wang Yuns initial challenge? It was not a mere provocation, it was retribution. As his penned line stated, The most adept hunter often masquerades as the prey. To chase him meant to accept the peril of becoming the prey.

Now, with Captain Hong Fengs open challenge, he was laying down the gauntlet. In this duel, one was the hunter, and the other, the hunted.

It was a provocation to incite fury, and according to Wang Yues analysis of Wang Yuns personality, retaliation was absolutely certain.

At the beginning of the program, we were simply enjoying the spectacle. But the reality is that from the very first face-off, an intellectual duel was already underway. Big Brother held the advantage. Without the insights shared by the captains, many of us would likely remain unaware of these deeper dynamics, a viewer mused with a hint of awe.

At the abandoned construction site in the Hu Mountain area, Captain Hong Feng departed without a hint of reluctance. Lets move on.

They hadnt laid any traps, nor were they intending to play a waiting game. The likelihood of success was deemed too slim.

For the average criminal, surveillance gear might be sufficient to secure an arrest. For the more formidable ones, weapons were the tools of necessity. But to capture a criminal of high intellect, one needed to suppress his intelligence.

The group took their leave.

Minutes later, in a remote spot, Wang Yun made his cautious approach.

Earlier, to circumvent potential dangers, he had acquired a god-level skill, Divine Reconnaissance.

After confirming it was safe, he walked out.

Big Brother has appeared, hes been watching in secret from afar!

I wonder what Big Brothers reaction will be to that banner.

His disguise is about to be blown!

In the live stream, the audience saw Wang Yun reappear, engaging in fervent discussion and conjecture. At this moment, they too felt as if they had entered the fray of this unseen battle.

Rat!

Wang Yun stood before the abandoned building, his eyes briefly catching the prominent banner and betraying a flicker of response.

Do they want me to scurry like a rat? I wonder which captain gifted me this. Its likely Captain Hong Feng, he enjoys writing words.

Standing there, he mused aloud, Is this provocation meant to draw me out? Does he want to take revenge on me? Is this what one would call an invitation?

Wang Yun chuckled to himself at the thought. He remained still for a few moments before slowly making his way to the banner.

It appears I must set the stage, he said, grinning as he removed the banner.

He was rising to the challenge.

Whoa, Big Brother actually guessed Captain Hong Fengs intentions, and hes even talking about setting the stage?

Shiver me timbers, the back and forth between Captain Hong Feng and Big Brother sends chills down my spine. Each side has anticipated the others strategy, yet neither is willing to retreat!

Captain Wang Yue and the others know Big Brother wont shy away. Big Brother, too, understands that Captain Hong Feng is deliberately provoking him, but he accepts the challenge. Are we gearing up for a showdown?

Theres something that still puzzles me. What is this big move Big Brother mentioned? Could it be connected to whats coming up?

In the live stream, the audience, with an omniscient perspective, absorbed Wang Yuns words and observed his actions. The tension was palpable, especially at the mention of I need to set the stage..

Indeed, Wang Yun was preparing to dance a dangerous tango with them.

Who was the hunter, and who was the hunted?

Who would find themselves bleeding on the edge of the blade?

Wang Yun took the banner with him, then walked back into the dilapidated building. Upon entering his room, he found it emptied of his belongings. Undeterred, he laid the banner on the floor and made it his bed for the night.

Big Brother lying on the banner somehow gives off a vibe of enduring hardships and nursing a vengeance, right?

Its like hes gathering a storm of rage for an eventual release.

This night might be the most miserable Big Brother has ever spent, without even the comfort of a blanket or quilt. It could be even more pitiful if one day all his disguises are exposed.

The audience watching the live stream felt an inexplicable sense of pathos witnessing Wang Yun sleeping on the banner.

The night swiftly passed, and with the dawn, Wang Yun woke up, stretching leisurely. He had mulled over his plans the previous night, resolving to abandon his initial strategy for a new one that demanded more preparation and entailed higher risks.

And for this new plan, he would need assistance.

He pulled out a sheet of paper and a pen, scribbling down some points. Afterward, Wang Yun gathered his equipment bag, took the banner, and stepped out of the room. Nearby, the sound of two children eating was audible.

Big Brother, Big Sister, may I have a moment? Wang Yun called out as he approached the door.

Benefactor, come in, please come in, the young man quickly stepped out to welcome him.

You can call me Wang Yun. Im sorry to disturb you, Ill cut to the chase. I need a favor from you, Wang Yun said directly to the young man of similar height.

Brother Wang Yun, you dont have to be so formal. Our family of four owes you our lives. We are willing to do anything, the young man stated earnestly.

I wont burden you with the details for now. Ill arrange everything when its time, and I assure you, it wont put you in danger, Wang Yun said with a reassuring smile.

Brother, you dont need to mince words. Whatever my wife and I can do, just say the word, the young man pledged, offering his commitment.

Alright. Heres 100,000 yuan for you. Ive written down what you need to buy and the tasks you need to carry out on this paper. Ill have to trouble you to take care of these today, Big Brother, Wang Yun said as he handed over the cash along with the list.

Brother, the money

The young man began, eyeing the money, about to speak, but Wang Yun interrupted him, This sum is necessary for the purchases youll have to make. The expenses are quite significant. Wang Yun patted the young mans shoulder and added, Big Brother, remember my phone number, well need to keep in touch.

Got it. The young man seemed to want to say more but ultimately did not refuse.

Wang Yun left after giving the young man a set of instructions.

Once outside, a voice came through from the technological chip on his chest, Wang Yun, you can take action now. Your chosen target is currently under investigation and found guilty. He will soon be arrested, likely facing a life sentence. You can proceed without concern, no need to worry.

Oh, okay, thanks, Wang Yun said, slightly surprised, then smiling in acknowledgment.

Dont mention it. We actually endorse you doing this, cough cough, at least within the confines of the show, not in the actual sense, the voice of a staff member from the program team sounded and then faded.

What the heck is happening? Whats Big Brother up to that he has to check in with the program team?

I dont know, but its surely something big. It must be related to a major event in real life, otherwise, if it was something trivial, the program team could resolve it immediately without any notice.

Damn, it looks like big news is about to break!

Viewers in the live stream caught Wang Yuns exchange with the program team, expressions of shock crossing their faces. They were all pondering the same question: What exactly is Big Brother about to do?

Alright, next, Im going to temporarily block the camera to set the stage for you all, Wang Yun said, with a smile as he made his announcement.

Oh no, Big Brother, you cant be serious about covering the camera? What kind of preparation is this that we cant see?

Weve been cut off. We can only hear their voices now!

I cant wait to see whats coming. Big Brother is surely up to something big.

The live broadcast audience was abuzz with speculation.

Wang Yun stepped outside, started the second-hand van he had purchased and drove away. He had determined his target the previous afternoon, but the nights events had necessitated some changes in his plan. His initial intent was to become a sort of Robin Hood.

Yes, a Robin Hood. His target this time was the boss of Hu Shan Development, a wealthy businessman from Nancheng. This decision was made after he had heard the lament of two childrens mother.

Why should their dream homes have turned into unfinished husks?

Why were they left to shoulder the results?

Was it their fault?

Simply because the development companys capital chain had broken?

If there had been a genuine, exceptional reason, it might have been different. But from what Wang Yun had learned online, the property tycoon was still living in luxury. There were even exposs online revealing his possession of mansions and expensive cars, with antiques in his home worth millions.

Thus, Wang Yun was ready to embark on a stealthy Robin Hood adventure, a raid to rob from the rich to aid the poor, to swipe millions from the man, just to stick it to him. He planned to secretly distribute the ill-gotten wealth at the failed housing project, leaving a share in every familys apartment.

The rest, well, the program team would take care of the fallout.

Wang Yues analysis was quite precise, Wang Yun was truly unpredictable.

Yesterdays challenge from Captain Hong Feng transformed what was meant to be a low-key operation by Wang Yun into a spectacle. A performance ready to unfold. Another point in his favor was the recent update from the production team, which worked to his advantage.

His current target had already come under close watch in the real world, with his misdeeds on the verge of being exposed, although he had not yet been arrested. This allowed Wang Yun to act with even more audacity.

Wang Yuns eyes narrowed, his mind whirring with thoughts.

The stage was ready, and he was to be the main act of this drama, with the control of how the supporting characters would play their parts resting in his hands.

I hope Captain Hong Feng, along with the others, will appreciate the stage that has been set especially for you.

The vehicle moved swiftly and, after half an hour, arrived at the front of an upscale villa district.

Acquire Advanced Hacking abilities.

Seated in the drivers chair, Wang Yun picked up a computer that was beside him. With a single intent focus, he acquired a new skill. He promptly began searching for certain information, and not long after, a smile played on his lips.

Shutting down the computer, he steered the car directly into the villa complex. He was there to retrieve a pivotal piece for this mission.

Upon reaching the gate, the barrier automatically raised, permitting him entry.

Huh? To which owner does this van belong? How strange.

The security staff were slightly taken aback, but since the barrier had been lifted, they didnt look into it further.

Wang Yun proceeded inward, his vehicle halting before a grand villa. He appraised his surroundings, scoping out the security cameras. With slight maneuvers, he slipped into the villa.

Inside, he discovered the place was empty, his luck proving to be even better than anticipated. Had there been someone present, he would have had to proceed with caution.

He looked through the house, searching each room systematically.

Surveillance in the basement?

As Wang Yun descended into the basement, he squinted skeptically, surprised by what he found. After a quick scan of the area, he extracted a computer from his equipment bag. Upon reviewing the surveillance feed, he deftly used his hacking skills to loop the live feed with previous footage.

Surveillance in the basement means something valuable must be down here.

Wang Yuns eyes were slightly narrowed, his exceptional perception scanning the area in detail.

The basement was lavish, fitted with opulent furniture and a wine cabinet brimming with fine bottles. His attention was quickly drawn to a specific part of the wine cabinet. Without hesitation, he walked over.

Its reminiscent of those hidden compartments in movies, he murmured, pulling at one of the wine bottles.

In the next instant, the wine cabinet swung open from the middle, revealing a safe two to three meters in size. Wang Yuns smile broadened as he employed his peerless lock-picking skills to unlock it.

With a series of clicks, the safe swung open, revealing its contents that momentarily stunned Wang Yun. Cash. All cash. It was piled meters high, amounting to at least a hundred million yuan.

The richness of this stage key piece surpasses my wildest expectations.

Gazing upon the mountain of cash worth at least a hundred million, Wang Yuns eyes sparkled. The most crucial key piece was now in his hand. What followed would be his performance, a grand spectacle.
