When everyone heard Hardy’s words, they exchanged glances, bewildered.

“Wang Yun never planned to actually kill you. If he did, why would he send two of his subordinates to ambush you? He wanted you to come back alive and inform us. Do you think you escaped because of your own prowess and feel superior about it?” Ying Yuezi said, expressionless.

As soon as Ying Yuezi finished speaking, someone stifled a laugh. Hardy’s face instantly turned red.

“You! Now I understand. Instead of capturing Wang Yun, you guys are busy infighting. This is why you fail.”

“Fail? Didn’t you go after him yourself and fail too? Who was it that kept accusing us of being incompetent? At least when we went after Wang Yun, we didn’t get hurt. Look at you, your arm is completely useless now,” Ying Yuezi retorted sharply, each word hitting a nerve.

Hardy, infuriated, stood up and pointed a finger at her, but couldn’t muster a single word in response.

“Alright, we’re all on the same side, so stop fighting. Wang Yun let you come back to send us a warning. He’s preparing to launch an attack. So for now, let’s focus on finding a suitable countermeasure,” Wu Yaoming said urgently.

“Let’s increase our manpower. Each team should add at least thirty members. While this may seem excessive, it will at least give us a numerical advantage,” Werner said.

Everyone looked uncomfortable. Unknowingly, Wang Yun had forced them into a position where they had to rely on sheer numbers to suppress him.

Though they didn’t want to admit it, this strategy was indeed effective.

“I agree. More people will at least buy us some time, rather than getting eliminated immediately,” Wang Yue added.

Kolyev nodded vigorously. Over the past two days, he had stayed in the headquarters the entire time, too afraid to go out with the team. He feared he wouldn’t make it back alive. He had been in the program for a long time and didn’t want to be eliminated like this.

“Alright, let’s do that. Each group will add thirty members and wait for Wang Yun to make the first move. Once he acts, he’ll inevitably slip up. We can only fight him with our blood,” Wu Yaoming said, his final words deeply resonating with everyone.

The upcoming battles would be brutal and bloody.

In Mr. Fang’s livestream.

“Mr. Fang Lao, what do you think of the strategies these captains are adopting? If you were in this situation, with your experience, how would you handle it?” a celebrity guest asked proactively.

Everyone was genuinely curious. Everything Wang Yun had displayed so far suggested he was invincible, and it seemed no one could do anything to stop him.

Was it really possible for such a criminal to exist?

Or was it that the program inspectors were lacking in skill or using ineffective strategies?

Fang Lao’s face also showed a trace of concern.

“To be honest, in my forty years of service until my honorable retirement, I’ve never encountered anyone as extraordinary as Wang Yun. I’ve thought about it, considering if I were a program inspector, how I would quickly capture Wang Yun,” Fang Lao said, a hint of excitement on his face.

It was clear that while watching the livestream, he had often put himself in the scenario.

“But in the end, I’m afraid I would still adopt the same methods as the program inspectors. To deal with such a genius, you can only use the most traditional methods to capture him, because your intelligence and abilities simply can’t compare to his. It’s like a race between a rabbit and a turtle. One is inherently gifted, while the other has no chance of winning. When the two meet, the only way to possibly defeat the opponent is through the basic principles of perseverance and persistence,” Fang Lao said passionately.

The celebrity beside Fang Lao nodded, looking quite surprised.

“It seems Wang Yun’s abilities are indeed extraordinary, to have you repeatedly call him a prodigy,” the celebrity said, smiling in praise.

Mr. Fang shook his head. “I must admit, he is truly remarkable. In fact, comparing the inspectors to a rabbit and Wang Yun to a turtle was a bit inappropriate.”

“Hmm? In what way?” the celebrity asked.

Mr. Fang sighed slightly and then looked intently at the camera.

“The rabbit lost because of its arrogance and laziness. It defeated itself. The turtle won because of the rabbit’s own character flaws. But with Wang Yun, I see no arrogance at all. On the contrary, he is very humble. When he takes action, he is extremely cautious. He considers every detail and ensures he has full confidence in every move he makes. So, Wang Yun is not the rabbit, but the program inspectors are the turtles.”

Wang Yun was not the rabbit, but the program inspectors were the turtles.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the livestream drew a sharp breath. The celebrity’s face also froze, unsure of what to say.

The room fell silent, and even the staff nearby were momentarily stunned, feeling a chill run through them.

Mr. Fang’s words were piercing but undeniably true.

Although the words were harsh, the reality was as such.

All along, Wang Yun had been in control and led the program inspectors by the nose.

In the early stages, they were still able to take the initiative and strike proactively. However, especially since arriving in Xiyun City, they had been on the defensive every time. If they weren’t being eliminated by Wang Yun, they were being beaten to the point of losing their morale.

Take Everick for example, he was ultimately so defeated that he became deeply respectful of Wang Yun, admiring him to the utmost.

Originally, this was just a show, but no one knew when it started turning into a life-and-death struggle, becoming a competitive battle. No one was willing to admit defeat, no one was willing to give up. Even if they fell dozens of times, they dusted themselves off and fought again.

Mr. Fang’s words deeply shook everyone. At the same time, they further sparked the curiosity of the entire nation.

Even people who never followed reality shows started paying attention to this matter. Some celebrities even spoke out online, publicly expressing their attitudes. They believed that the righteous side would surely win. At the same time, they sincerely admired Wang Yun, acknowledging him as a top talent.

The name Wang Yun had become deeply ingrained in people’s hearts in less than a month. No one in the country, and even abroad, did not know Wang Yun.

In stark contrast to the intense atmosphere of the livestream, Wang Yun was on the mountaintop, enjoying a barbecue with Brother Hu and the others.

He was admiring the night view. Lying on the mountaintop, looking at the moon overhead, he felt very relaxed.
