    Once Wang Yun saw that both of them had calmed down, he continued in an even tone, “Mr. Baren, have you ever heard of an escape show called SkyNet?”

    A mysterious smile hung on Wang Yun’s face.

    The moment Baren heard those words, his whole body jerked in shock. His expression turned uncertain, and he asked hesitantly, “Brother, are you talking about that show hosted by Dragon Country?”

    Wang Yun smiled and nodded.

    Baren only looked more confused.

    The topic had shifted so abruptly that he could not figure out why Wang Yun had suddenly brought up that television show.

    So all he could do was ask in puzzlement, “Brother Wang Yun, what do you mean by this?”

    Wang Yun smiled and prompted him, “Then do you remember the fugitive who survived the previous season?”

    Baren still had some impression of that person.

    Everyone in his family had watched that show, and they had kept praising one particular person in it, even calling him Big Brother.

    Baren had been deeply impressed by that.

    He tried hard to recall the man’s name.

    “That was a man from Dragon Country,” he said with certainty.

    Wang Yun kept that unreadable smile on his face and nodded.

    So Baren continued thinking back and said uncertainly, “That person… I think his surname was Wang?”

    Wang Yun nodded again.

    Looking at the mysterious smile on the young man’s face across from him, a thought suddenly struck Baren.

    Wasn’t that man called Wang?

    What had this young man just said his name was?

    Wang Yun?

    Wang Yun!

    It was Wang Yun!

    The moment the thought clicked, Baren’s eyes flew wide open. He stared at Wang Yun, a trace of alarm appearing on his face.

    “You’re that Wang Yun? That survivor Wang Yun?”

    Wang Yun smiled and nodded.

    “That’s right. It’s me.”

    Baren’s expression instantly shifted from shock to delight.

    “If Brother Wang Yun is the one taking action, then I have nothing to worry about. I can just sit back and collect the money,” he said in a flattering tone. “Hahaha!”

    It was as though Baren could already see himself winning a huge pile of cash.

    Back when he had heard his whole family calling Wang Yun “Big Brother,” curiosity had gotten the better of him, so he had gone and watched the show himself.

    Wang Yun’s fighting ability had left him full of admiration.

    More than once, he had thought that if a man like that could work for him, then what he had now would be nothing compared to what he could achieve.

    And now, that dream had actually come true.

    He really had to thank Colin properly.

    If that kid had not brought Wang Yun here, he never would have gotten to know him.

    With that thought, Baren raised the wine glass in front of him and looked at Wang Yun and Colin.

    “Brother Wang Yun, Brother Colin, then about this match—”

    Before Baren could finish his flattering words, Wang Yun cut him off with a smile.

    “Mr. Baren, it seems you’ve forgotten something.”

    When Baren heard that, a trace of confusion first appeared on his face. Then he immediately remembered what Wang Yun had just said—they were currently participating in a show.

    They.

    Not Wang Yun alone.

    Baren looked uncertainly at Colin, who had been sitting there without saying a word.

    Then that meant he was also participating in the show.

    Which meant that everything Baren had done would be known to the people watching the show.

    At that thought, Baren suddenly felt the urge to slam his head into a wall. Even though he had not done anything especially illegal lately, organizing group fights and participating in underground boxing were still things that could land him with some hefty fines.

    With that realization, Baren became even more determined to make Wang Yun fight in Colin’s place.

    So he gritted his teeth.

    “Brother Wang Yun, don’t worry. What I say, I will absolutely do.”

    Wang Yun looked at him with a cheerful smile.

    He knew very well that a large part of Baren’s willingness to compromise came from the massive influence of this season’s show.

    A smile spread across his face.

    “Mr. Baren, it’s not that we don’t trust you. It’s just that if we put it in writing, everyone can feel at ease. Right? Otherwise, if I suddenly say I’m not fighting, then there’d be nothing you could do about it. Isn’t that so?”

    Baren nodded hard at once.

    “Brother Wang Yun, wait here a moment.”

    With that, Baren stood up and walked out of the private room.

    The moment he left, Colin immediately looked at Wang Yun with worship written all over his face.

    “Brother Wang Yun! You’re incredible!”

    But Wang Yun raised a finger to his lips and made the classic gesture for silence.

    Then he pointed at the wall.

    The meaning was obvious—be careful, walls have ears.

    Colin immediately understood and nodded. Then he straightened up in his seat. Even so, he still could not hide the joy on his face.

    Seeing how happy he looked, Wang Yun smiled as well.

    Colin’s matter was basically settled now.

    What came next was bargaining with the program team for Big Mouth’s sake. He only hoped Director Zhou would do him this favor.

    It was not long before the private room door opened again.

    Baren walked in holding a sheet of white paper covered in writing.

    He handed the paper to Wang Yun.

    “Brother Wang Yun, I’ve already written up the agreement. Take a look and see whether anything needs to be added.”

    Wang Yun took the paper and read it carefully.

    After all, Colin had already been tricked once by a slave contract.

    The agreement clearly stated:

    As long as Wang Yun fought Achir in Colin’s place and won, Baren would void the previous labor contract and set Colin free.
