Chapter 315: A Hero of the People!

“Everyone, calm down! Please, calm down!” 

Wu Yaoming stepped forward and shouted to restore order as the scene grew increasingly chaotic. A program inspector quickly handed him a megaphone, and Wu Yaoming stood atop a rock, addressing the crowd, who restrained their anger for the moment.

“I understand your frustrations. The reason we organized such a large-scale evacuation was, first and foremost, out of concern for everyone’s safety. Secondly, we trust Wang Yun’s judgment. While this is indeed a show, and he is a participant, his decisions and behavior have shown us that he is not someone who would joke about natural disasters. Nor is our program team! No one challenges nature lightly. We are all equal before it. Think about it, if we were to deceive you, wouldn’t the consequences for our show be far more severe? The power of the people is immeasurable. Just as water can carry a boat, it can also capsize it. The success of our show depends entirely on your support. And if we truly deceived you, you have every right to bring us down!”

Wu Yaoming spoke passionately, his eloquence surpassing that of Wu Mingyu, who was more reserved and unpracticed in public speaking.

Gradually, the crowd’s emotions began to settle.

A police officer standing nearby also stepped forward to address the crowd.

“Comrades, we completely understand your feelings. Many of us also left our meals and families behind to come here and serve the people. But we all came here willingly, without hesitation. Why? Because the person who issued this warning is Wang Yun.”

The officer’s tone grew fervent, his demeanor as if he were speaking about a personal idol.

The crowd, sensing the intensity in his words, quieted down and turned their curious gazes toward him.

Why Wang Yun? Wasn’t he just a fugitive participant in a show? 

At most, he was a viral internet celebrity.

Sensing their confusion, the officer continued, “During his time on the show, Comrade Wang Yun accidentally encountered real drug traffickers who had taken a family of four hostages. Despite the danger, he single-handedly rescued the hostages before the police arrived. He risked his life under a hail of bullets. He even managed to catch the criminals. However, his brave actions drew retaliation from these groups. During the show, he has faced numerous life-threatening situations, including an assassination attempt by a killer organization. But instead of backing down, Comrade Wang Yun stormed their base alone and subdued all thirty members of the organization! He is a hero, a blessing to the people! He is a hero, a blessing to the people!”

The officer shouted these words with all his might as if his voice carried the fire of his soul.

The crowd erupted into astonished murmurs.

No one had known these things. One by one, people stood dumbfounded, incredulous at what they were hearing.

“Drug traffickers? A killer organization? I’ve been watching the show’s livestreams, but I didn’t know about this!”

“Is this real? I’ve got goosebumps all over.”

“Wow, so Wang Yun did all this while on the show? Isn’t he afraid of dying?”

“Damn, I was wondering why there were times he turned off the livestream. Turns out he was out there fighting for justice!”

Excitement and awe spread through the crowd as discussions broke out. Even the program inspectors were left speechless, including Zhao Youcheng and his team, who stood as if turned to stone.

Zhao Youcheng, in particular, was so stunned that his body wavered slightly. If not for Ying Yuezi’s quick reflexes in steadying him, he might have fallen.

“This… this can’t all be true, can it?” Wu Mingyu murmured, his eyes wide with disbelief.

The program inspectors were unable to access Wang Yun’s perspective during the show and had no way of knowing about these events.

Apart from the public service announcements issued by the program’s executive producer to raise awareness about crime, they knew nothing else about Wang Yun’s actions.

Those public announcements focused on crime prevention and did not reveal Wang Yun’s heroic deeds. The program team had kept these incidents under wraps due to their sensitive nature.

After a brief pause, the officer turned toward the program inspectors and their Captains.

“I must apologize, I may have revealed information that was meant to stay confidential. These events were not disclosed because they were classified, and Comrade Wang Yun himself did not want them publicized. I couldn’t hold back after seeing the misunderstandings about him. If this has disrupted your program, I sincerely apologize.”

The officer clasped his hands in a gesture of apology toward the program inspectors.

Indeed, by sharing these details, he had essentially revealed Wang Yun’s hidden actions to those working against him.

But it was all in the past now.
