Chapter 417: Bully My Brother? We Head Out Tomorrow!

“So then what happened?” Wang Yun asked, his tone serious as he turned off the stove and picked up his phone.

Xiao Gang wasn’t just any acquaintance, he was a brother. Even if they had only met through the show, the bond between the three of them was irreplaceable.

Brother Hu sat beside a rice field, gulping down a big mouthful of water.

“What else could happen? After he told me about it yesterday, he said he had something to take care of and hung up. Said he could handle it himself. But Boss, I’m really worried that Xiao Gang might do something rash. He’s a filial guy. That thug threatened his parents. If he takes it seriously, what if we never see him again? What if he ends up crying behind bars?”

Brother Hu was visibly worried.

Last night, Xiao Gang had seemed completely off. He was already the quiet type, the kind who kept everything bottled up.

He used to be a car mechanic, picking up acting gigs in his spare time.

This time, he finally got picked by the show’s production team and earned a good sum. He was hoping to finally give his parents a better life, only to run into something like this.

If he really couldn’t think it through and did something extreme…

Forget ever working together again. They might end up visiting him through prison glass.

The legal system was tight these days.

Wang Yun listened, a flicker of concern tightening in his chest.

This situation with Xiao Gang was way out of line.

“Do you know Xiao Gang’s exact home address?” Wang Yun asked.

Brother Hu nodded immediately.

“Yeah, I just sent him some local specialties a couple days ago. Boss, are you planning to go find him? Take me with you!”

Brother Hu perked up at once, his voice full of energy.

Wang Yun thought it over, then checked the address and pulled up the distance.

Xiao Gang lived in a rural area where transportation wasn’t great.

From here, it was about 700 kilometers—roughly a day’s drive. But today was already booked solid.

The earliest they could set off would be tomorrow afternoon.

“Okay, send me your location. I’ll come pick you up tomorrow, should be around 1 or 2 AM when I get there. We’re going straight to Xiao Gang’s place. We can’t let him do something stupid, but we definitely can’t let anyone bully our brother.”

“Got it! I’ll be waiting for you, Boss!”

Brother Hu was fired up.

He practically shouted into the phone and lifted his water bottle in a mock toast toward the screen.

After that, he hung up quickly and started tidying up things at home.

Wang Yun had told him not to notify Xiao Gang yet.

If he found out, he’d never let them come.

If Xiao Gang thought he was dragging them down and did something impulsive ahead of time, things could get even worse.

Right now, the most important thing was to stabilize his emotions—to get him thinking about his parents.

After ending the call with Brother Hu, Wang Yun lost his appetite completely.

He opened the system.

Shock Value: 1,000,000 (Almost completely spent)

Exchange Store: (Open?)

Notice: Please collect more shock value to unlock additional skills!

That last system message made Wang Yun chuckle bitterly.

Of course, he wanted to unlock more skills, but his shock value was running low.

With the show currently on pause, even though he was still gaining tens of thousands daily, it didn’t compare to live broadcasts.

And the cost of unlocking skills was going up fast. Even a minor cooking skill cost 12 million shock value now.

Talk about highway robbery.

“Forget it. The skills I’ve got now are enough.”

After glancing over the system, Wang Yun put it away and opened his laptop.

What he needed to do now was dig into this so-called thug.

Who exactly was this guy who dared to bully Xiao Gang?
