Are You Crazy? You’re Telling Me This Is a Fugitive TV Show?

That night was destined to be luxurious. Wang Yun and his crew stayed in the hotel, indulging themselves for two full days before reluctantly leaving. During this time, the executive producer kept communicating with Wang Yun, trying to manage the overwhelming public opinion.

The producer suggested that Wang Yun keep Xiao Yanran around for a while longer and then find an opportunity to send her away. Given that the show’s inspectors were heavily damaged and slow to react, Wang Yun could take it easy. Even if he wasn’t actively escaping, taking Xiao Yanran on some leisurely travels would suffice, as it would satisfy the fans and ease the pressure.

Despite the producer’s sincere plea, Wang Yun remained firm. He understood the complications, especially considering Xiao Yanran’s health. Ultimately, Xiao Yanran left.

When they left the club, the producer’s car picked them up. To avoid putting the producer in a tough spot, Wang Yun addressed the situation directly with a few words.

“Dear fans, brothers, and sisters, I know you want me, a bachelor, to have a female companion. But Xiao Yanran’s health isn’t up to it, as you know. When I meet a beautiful assassin in the future, I’ll definitely keep her around. Stop imagining things, it’s all about fate.”

Wang Yun’s light-hearted remarks instantly boosted the mood in the live chat.

“Big bro makes sense. The producer must have told him what’s happening outside!”

“This has been trending for three days. I support big bro’s decision!”

“Exactly, who needs women? They’ll only slow down Big Brother’s blade!”

After all, this was a decision made by Wang Yun himself. The anger towards the Oil Nation, however, remained undiminished.

Whether it was on short video platforms or the internet, people were furiously condemning the Oil Nation. Several Oil Nation vloggers who had started accounts on China’s short video platforms were also affected. They became targets, with all the fury directed at them, causing them to refrain from posting for several days.

By noon on the third day, Wang Yun and his three companions, fully satisfied after a meal, were seated in a Bentley arranged by the club.

They were leaving Xiyun City today, heading to a more remote location. Wang Yun had investigated this place beforehand and found that it wasn’t densely populated. Their arrival there wouldn’t cause the same kind of uproar as before. Walking on the streets without the risk of being recognized would make things much easier.

Moreover, this new location, Yun City, was in the south, featuring beautiful scenery with the sea to the south and mountains visible even within the city. Most of the houses were built on the mountains, giving it a complete tropical rainforest vibe. The environment was great for escaping, with ample resources to rely on for survival. Wang Yun had no plans to return to urban areas anytime soon. Heading to such a place would be extremely comfortable. Plus, having never traveled before, he saw this as a perfect opportunity to explore the world.

“Boss, this will be my first time in Yun City. I’ve heard the local customs are amazing, and the tropical fruits are delicious,” Brother Hu said enthusiastically.

“Yeah, I heard that durians come from there. We can have a fruit feast!” added little Gang, equally excited.

Wang Yun, half-lying back, felt very relaxed. There was no denying the comfort of a luxury car. The ride was smooth, with no bumps, and the spacious interior allowed him to stretch his legs. Additionally, the leather seats were exceptionally soft. He thought to himself that once this show was over, he’d definitely get himself one of these cars.

“Don’t forget, we’re not on vacation,” Wang Yun reminded quietly, narrowing his eyes.

The three exchanged glances, their excitement undimmed by his words. The driver glanced back thoughtfully at the group.

In Wang Yun’s livestream, the number of viewers was slightly lower than before since the fans who had left couldn’t rejoin. However, the difference was only a few thousand. Now that Wang Yun had left Xiyun City, fans there could watch the livestream again and quickly flooded back in.

“Darn it, how did he leave already? I’ve been skipping work for days, just wandering around the city, and I never saw him!”

“I actually saw him once when he saved Brother Hu. He was so cool, flying through the air like that. He’s my hero!”

“Wang Yun is heading to Yun City. Haha, the folks there are in for it now. Soon, they won’t be able to watch the livestream either…”

“I have a feeling, Yun City is mostly mountains and sea. Do you think Wang Yun will do some island survival?”

“Island survival? Like Bear Grylls? That sounds awesome! I’m so excited!”

“I wonder how those program inspectors are doing. We haven’t seen them for two days since Wang Yun crushed them. I kind of miss them!”

The fans in the livestream weren’t bored by Wang Yun changing locations; they were thrilled. They knew he was likely planning some kind of island survival adventure. Meanwhile, it had been three days and there was still no word from the program inspectors.

“Achoo!”

Wu Yaoming sneezed, sitting in a hotel conference room and rubbing his now red nose. The table was covered with tissues. Behind him was a large screen.

“Is this some kind of aftershock from the emergency? I’ve been sneezing for days but I’m not even sick.”

In the conference room, several unfamiliar faces were present. Among them, hunched over in the back, were the two troublemakers from the Oil Nation.

“The vehicle Wang Yun is traveling in has reached the West Household Highway. Based on his direction, there are the following cities he could be heading to. Qiaolai City is a labyrinthine city, mainly consisting of staircases, with subways as supplementary transportation. Escaping there would be a significant physical challenge for him. Wang Yun is unlikely to choose it. Another city along this highway is Zheng City. It is densely populated, the most crowded among these cities. This also isn’t advantageous for Wang Yun, so it’s out. That leaves only one other option: Yun City, though it’s quite far. Even by car, it takes about ten hours.”

The speaker was a young man with blue hair, dressed in punk attire. He had a silver chain around his neck and an earring, giving him a trendy look. This was the new Captain from the U.S., Marley, an ultimate race car driver who had won the championship eight times. The driver in the video who was constantly filming Wang Yun’s vehicle was Joseph, Marley’s coach for five years. The two of them represented the United States.

“That makes sense. Yun City has a high overall basin, offering good visibility and vast terrain, suitable for hiding,” agreed an elder sitting next to Wu Yaoming.
