Chapter 855: Let’s See How You Protect Him This Time

Director Zhou thought it over for a moment, then decided to tell Wang Yun directly.

“That drug isn’t poison. It’s extracted from a plant unique to the Hahabaye Tribe. It only restricts a person’s ability to move. Normally, anyone hit by this poison would lose all bodily functions, but since this is a show, we only used a small amount of anesthetic in its place. Still, until you find the antidote, Big Mouth will be like a living vegetable. He will be unable to move at all. But once he takes the antidote, he’ll be fine. As for how long the effect lasts… Heh, heh…”

Listening to Director Zhou’s chuckle, Wang Yun immediately had a bad feeling.

“How long does the drug last?”

“According to the data we’ve collected so far, the shortest case is three months. The longest is five years,” Director Zhou said.

This was clearly forcing Big Mouth to surrender.

“They applied to me before using it, and I approved it. It doesn’t harm the body. And if you don’t want him to stay like this, then send him back,” Director Zhou said.

Director Zhou thought that Wang Yun had to be furious by now.

Click—

Seeing that Director Zhou had no intention of giving him the antidote, Wang Yun directly cut off the communication.

“I’m curious how you’ll protect him this time,” Director Zhou muttered to himself.

The assistant holding the communications equipment beside him asked in confusion, “Director Zhou, what did you say? Do you need me to bring him back?”

“No. Leave for now,” Director Zhou said in annoyance.

The assistant did not dare say another word and hurried out of Director Zhou’s office.

Meanwhile, the many teams that had gone to capture Wang Yun and Big Mouth all returned to their respective offices looking dejected.

Only Chief Suo Xijieli of the Hahabaye Tribe was different. His face was full of excitement.

Their drug had already hit Big Mouth. Without the antidote, he would not be able to move for quite some time and could only remain a burden.

Getting caught would only be a matter of time with such a large target to drag around.

He had patience. He could afford to drag this out a little longer.

Seeing their chief’s confident smile, the others in the tribe all adopted expressions of certain victory as well.

The sight made everyone else itch with frustration, especially Wu Yaoming.

He had been hunting Wang Yun since the previous season, all the way until now. And just when he had been on the verge of success, someone else had suddenly appeared to rescue him.

They had been only one step away from capturing Wang Yun.

Not only had that unexpected outsider ruined everything, but now the people from the Hahabaye Tribe all wore expressions as if victory were already in hand.

The more he looked at them, the more aggravating they became.

Wu Yaoming gave a cold snort and returned to his office.

Old Zhao had been waiting for good news. The moment he saw Wu Yaoming’s expression, his heart sank.

This mission had likely failed again.

And after hearing Wu Yaoming’s account, Old Zhao let out a sigh.

They had only been one step away.

But then Wu Yaoming suddenly gave a strange smile. Leaning close to Old Zhao’s ear, he whispered something softly.

On the other side, the Shadow Moon Squad was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Their points were currently at the very bottom. There were only two days left before this cycle ended. 

If they still failed to earn any points, they would definitely be eliminated.

After finally obtaining information and joining the capture operation together with everyone else, their target had never actually been Wang Yun himself, but the people around him.

At this point, Wang Yun had become the target of the vast majority of the inspector teams.

Instead of smashing themselves bloody competing with everyone else and possibly still coming up empty-handed, it would be better to take a different route.

They would set their sights on the companion beside him instead.

The difficulty should be much lower than trying to capture Wang Yun directly.

So the captain of Shadow Moon immediately ordered the team members to search with all their strength for Wang Yun and his companion’s whereabouts.

After hanging up, Wang Yun thought over what Director Zhou had said.

Big Mouth would not be in danger. He just could not move, so there was no need to panic yet.

They already owed Colin quite a few favors. They could first see what kind of help he needed. If it was urgent, they would deal with this side first.

With that in mind, Wang Yun looked at Colin.

“I remember you said earlier that you came to me because you wanted my help. You’ve seen my current situation for yourself. Tell me what you need help with.”

Colin frowned and then explained his situation in detail to Wang Yun and Big Mouth.

“Before this, didn’t I tell you about the contract I signed?”

The two of them nodded in unison.

Only then did Colin continue.

After signing the contract, Colin had felt that since Baren was offering him such generous treatment, he had to handle the issue with those thugs properly and make it look good.

So he arrived at the security room ahead of time.

Sure enough, dozens of guards all listened to his orders without objection.

Even the usually arrogant head of security did not say anything this time. Instead, he stood there quietly and listened to Colin’s arrangements.

Colin ordered ten of the guards to change into their own casual clothes and blend into the dance floor, pretending to be customers.

He left only one guard visible at the entrance.

In reality, however, in the darker corners inside, one guard stood watch every few meters.
