Chapter 399: The prize is thanks to your efforts, too!

As soon as these words came out, everyone below was stunned.

He was actually going to share four hundred million with his brothers. And he promised it publicly. One had to understand—if something was said in public, it must be done.

Teacher He stood on stage, clearly not expecting Wang Yun to say this. He was momentarily dazed, then quickly began to applaud.

In an instant, the applause resounded again throughout the venue.

From the moment Wang Yun came on stage, the applause had never stopped. Everyone’s hands were nearly red from clapping, swelling. But inside, they were overwhelmed with emotion.

“B-Boss…”

Xiao Gang had just come back to his senses, his face full of shock. But after the shock, when he tried to say something, he found he couldn’t open his mouth at all.

Brother Hu, after being stunned for three or four seconds, stepped forward and pulled Wang Yun into a hug.

With that hug, Wang Yun nearly dropped the microphone.

“Boss, boss, you’ll always be my boss!” Brother Hu completely broke down.

He didn’t know how to express himself. Beside him, Teacher He looked at the sobbing Brother Hu. He stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and his eyes were red too.

Frankly speaking, all that money was earned by Wang Yun. And throughout the whole process, it was Wang Yun dragging these two along, bringing them with him.

If it weren’t for Wang Yun, the two would’ve been eliminated long ago. Especially Xiao Gang—he had already been caught by the program inspector, basically a confession.

But Wang Yun, for his sake, was willing to take the risk himself, trading the program captains for Xiao Gang.

To all the viewers, this was incomprehensible—and also not worth it.

But Wang Yun did it anyway.

A ruthless fugitive who didn’t blink at killing was incredibly loyal when it came to his own men.

“I’ve always said, our Brother Wang is someone who values loyalty and deep feelings. He was burned over large areas of his skin in a fire while saving people, and now he’s doing this for his brothers again. He’s willing to take the money and share it. This kind of fearless spirit is truly rare in today’s society,” said Director Zhou before Teacher He could speak.

Wang Yun wanted to say something, but Brother Hu was hugging him so tightly he couldn’t get free.

“I don’t know how to praise Brother Wang anymore. I only remember, at the time of the fire, in that life-threatening situation, I told him to protect himself and retreat first. And he only replied with one sentence: If I don’t go save them, those six people will surely die. One life for six—it’s worth it.”

One life for six—it’s worth it.

When Director Zhou spoke this last line, his voice began to choke up.

Across the entire world, who can truly achieve such fearlessness?

Hearing Director Zhou’s words, the people below the stage, Teacher He on the stage, and even the backstage staff all felt a chill run down their spines.

It was as if a bell had struck their chests.

It resonated for a long time, hard to recover from.

“Wuwu, I’m crying. I really can’t hold it back anymore. No wonder he’s so heavily wrapped up. It turns out he has massive burns~!”

“I watched the livestream back then and I knew Big Brother would get hurt. Even so badly injured, he still came to the celebration banquet!”

“One life for six! Let me do this next time. I’m a nobody, it wouldn’t matter if I died!”

“Even though Wang Yun is younger than me, I’ll call him Big Bro with full respect!”

The people in the livestream couldn’t stay calm anymore. Those watching in front of their screens were all wiping away tears at the same time.

Wang Yun didn’t say much—but it felt like he said everything.

Especially that sentence from Director Zhou.

If Director Zhou hadn’t spoken up, no one would’ve known that this was Wang Yun’s true thought at the time.

Sobs could faintly be heard from the venue.

Even the cameraman, while filming, couldn’t help wiping away tears.

Some internet celebrities and stars standing below the stage felt a deep mix of pride and shame.

Proud that someone like Wang Yun—a self-sacrificing hero—could come from their country. 

Ashamed that they had once focused only on his appearance and voice so superficially.

The light from him was already so dazzling that one couldn’t even keep their eyes open. And yet, people still only looked at the surface.

They were overwhelmed by shame.

“Everyone, don’t get the wrong idea—I like women.”

Just as emotions were running high and tears were flowing, Wang Yun finally managed to grab the microphone.

As he spoke, he gently pushed Brother Hu away.

Brother Hu’s carefully applied makeup was completely ruined, making him look downright ridiculous.

Xiao Gang wasn’t crying, but his lips were trembling—clearly overwhelmed by the moment.

Hahaha!

The second Wang Yun spoke, the whole crowd erupted into laughter.

“Haha, our Mr. Wang really has a sense of humor. Mr. Wang, I’ve run out of words to praise you. It feels like every compliment in the world is too plain for you. I only hope that from now on, Mr. Wang can live in happiness and peace,” said Teacher He.

His tone was very calm, but it was this simple blessing that best reflected his true feelings.

Wang Yun nodded, then glanced again at the two still dazed on stage.

“Let’s go. What are you standing around for? Get off the stage and go split the money!”

With that, Wang Yun threw an arm around each of them and, basking in the admiring and envious stares of the crowd, strode confidently off the stage.
