A voice boomed from the loudspeaker on the helicopter.
“Criminals below, listen up. You have been surrounded. Surrendering is your only option.”
“Put down your weapons, you can’t escape.”
“You are suspected of murder, kidnapping Chinese citizens, smuggling, and illegal possession of firearms…”
“Chinese law is sacred and inviolable!”
Along with this, countless people surrounded Jiang Yu, forming a protective circle around him.
They were willing to use their bodies to shield Jiang Yu from the bullets fired by these thugs, blocking any harm.
Mu’er raised his hand, gazing at Jiang Yu with deep affection. His hand was still bleeding, but he didn’t care.
Mu’er shouted to Jiang Yu, “I swear to God, I never intended to hurt you.”
Jiang Yu was surrounded by so many people, he couldn’t see Mu’er’s heartfelt gaze.
Seeing that Jiang Yu ignored him, Mu’er was a little disheartened. He then turned to the police who were closing in, “I’ll confess. I can tell you who hired me. Can I get a reduced sentence?”
Chief Liu, who was in the lead, stepped forward and looked at Mu’er, who was raising his hands. “Confess and be lenient, resist and be punished.”
“As long as what you say is true, we will consider a reduced sentence.”
“Okay, I’ll tell you.” Mu’er only heard the words “reduced sentence,” and immediately couldn’t wait to spill everything.
They were already mercenaries without any morals, let alone when it came to this matter, which involved Jiang Yu.
“A small-time celebrity named Xiao Min found us. He gave us a down payment of five million, and asked us to kill Jiang Yu. If I had known that the beautiful god was Jiang Yu, I would never have taken this job.”
Jiang Yu, who was surrounded by people, heard Mu’er’s words. His heart sank. It was him. He had never intended to compete with him, why did he have to go so far as to try to kill him?
In his entire life, he had never even met Xiao Min, and yet he would go to such lengths.
Director Wang and the others also heard the mercenaries words, and they instantly became furious. They didn't care that the cameraman was still holding the camera.
Director Wang roared with anger, “This piece of shit! I was the one who broke the contract with him. I was the one who cursed him out. Why is he taking out his anger on innocent people?!”
“Xiao Jiang didn’t even meet Xiao Min, and he’s going to be the victim of this senseless tragedy. Is this guy a born psychopath? Does he hate seeing others doing better than him?!”
“How did I break the contract with him? Doesn't he have any clue what he’s talking about? He didn’t show up for the first season of filming. Who does he think he is? The Emperor? My little temple can't accommodate a Buddha like him. And now, he dares to hire someone to kill!”
…
Director Wang became more and more agitated. He forgot about his usual composure. He unleashed decades of pent-up rage.
The live stream viewers, who had watched the entire chain of events unfold, erupted in a frenzy.
“Die, die, Xiao Min, die!”
“Damn it, Xiao Min, what kind of a rotten person is he? The beautiful god had never even met him, and he hires someone to kill him?!”
“He throws a tantrum, and then blames Jiang Yu for taking his resources. Who is this rotten person's backer? I don’t believe he would be so arrogant without a backer, hiring someone to kill. This time we discovered it, but who knows how many people he has already killed?”
“You’re right, I support the person above. @Z City Police Department, thorough investigation, it’s imperative! Just based on his slick operation, if you say this is the first time he’s hired a hitman, I’ll cut off my own head and stand it on a stick.”
“This kind of person doesn’t deserve to be an actor, he doesn’t deserve to live. He should be executed. He should die, he shouldn't be alive.”
…
The internet was filled with curses. Countless netizens flooded Xiao Min’s social media platforms and overwhelmed them.
The mercenaries were taken away, and Jiang Yu and his group were sent to the nearest military hospital to make sure he didn't have any lasting psychological effects.
Jiang Yu was now a high-profile protected individual. If anything happened to him at the hospital, the public’s anger could drown them. The military hospital was the safest place for him.
Everything had settled down. Director Wang’s reality show was obviously over.
A dating reality show had turned into a major shooting incident. Even if Jiang Yu was incredibly beautiful, the country wouldn’t allow “Love Cabin” to continue airing. This show was doomed to fail.
Mu’er gave Jiang Yu one last lingering glance as he was taken away, trying to imprint every detail of Jiang Yu’s features into his mind. He knew this was probably the closest he would ever be to Jiang Yu.
He might never see him again in this lifetime.
Jiang Yu was surrounded by a group of people as they boarded the helicopter, flying towards the military hospital in the valley. He didn’t notice Mu’er’s gaze.
Jiang Yu was stunned by everything that had happened that day. Everything had gone differently than he remembered. He was wearing Lu Bai’s coat, and he was holding a cup of hot cocoa that a special forces female officer had brought him.
Jiang Yu was in a daze. It took a long time for him to respond when people called his name. Everyone thought he was traumatized by the events of the day, and they were all incredibly worried.
Perhaps he was just exhausted from the day, because Jiang Yu leaned on Lu Bai’s shoulder and slowly fell asleep.
Lu Bai felt Jiang Yu’s head resting on his shoulder, and the heat of his breath. Something was wrong.
Lu Bai immediately held Jiang Yu up and touched his forehead. It was burning!
Lu Bai’s face changed. Jiang Yu’s cheeks were flushed pink, and his forehead was incredibly hot. It was obvious he had gotten sick after getting soaked in the rain and then being scared.
The others also noticed something was wrong with Jiang Yu. His lips were slightly parted, and he was breathing out hot air. He was clearly sick.
They hurriedly sent Jiang Yu to the emergency room.
Because there were so many people following Jiang Yu, even at the military hospital, the news of Jiang Yu being admitted to the emergency room spread online instantly.
The internet exploded. There were people praying for Jiang Yu’s recovery, and others were flooding Xiao Min’s social media account with insults and curses.
Even Jiang Yi, Xiao Min’s backer, was exposed by the internet. His company’s stock prices began to plummet, and his social media accounts were overwhelmed.
They couldn’t believe that Jiang Yi, as Xiao Min’s backer, had nothing to do with this hitman incident. Even if he didn’t, being Xiao Min’s sponsor was a sin in itself.
Xiao Min was arrested on the spot during a charity event.
Xiao Min looked completely incredulous. “What right do you have to arrest me? What evidence do you have? I haven’t broken any laws. What right do you have to arrest me? I want to see my lawyer!”
“Mr. Xiao, we have determined that you are involved in a malicious murder case. Please cooperate with us. If you want to hire a lawyer, please do so. However, I believe no lawyer will be willing to defend you.”
“They have already confessed that you are the mastermind behind the hitman incident. Please don’t think you can escape justice.”
A righteous young police officer put handcuffs on Xiao Min and escorted him into a police car.
