Upon hearing Wang Yue’s words, the old lady snorted disdainfully.

“Didn’t you watch the video? That old woman from the Qin family was mocking the young man at first. She said that young people nowadays are weak. If this handsome guy had come back sweating from a run, would she have dared to say that? The Qin old woman judges people based on their appearance. Now she’s hiding at home, too ashamed to show her face. Let’s see how arrogant she will be in the future.”

The old lady clearly had a lot of resentment towards Aunt Qin. Her tone was filled with gloating. It seemed Aunt Qin’s character was indeed questionable.

“Thank you, sir and madam. If you hear any news about this hero, please let us know. We’re from the TV station, and here’s my contact information. We’ll also award you a bonus.”

Wu Yaoming quickly handed over his contact information to the old man.

The old man’s eyes lit up at the mention of a bonus.

“How much is the bonus?”

“One hundred thousand,” Wang Yue said.

“What?!”

“One hundred thousand!”

The old men and women sitting under the tree gossiping were stunned. One hundred thousand! They couldn’t believe finding this good samaritan could bring such a reward. The old man couldn’t stay calm anymore. He got up. He didn’t even need his cane. He grabbed his stool and headed straight into the community.

“I need to inform my daughter and son-in-law right away. No need to go to work today. If we find this hero, we get a hundred thousand!”

The old man suddenly moved with newfound agility, his legs and feet much more nimble at this moment. The other old ladies couldn’t sit still either and rushed immediately.

“Captain Wu, I think it’s time to call for reinforcements,” Wang Yue said, looking grimly at Wu Yaoming as he watched everyone leave.

Wu Yaoming nodded cautiously, his gaze fixed on the southern direction.

“I can’t tell if Wang Yun is really that bold or if he’s just completely underestimating us. He actually went back to that mountain.”

Wu Yaoming was so furious that veins were bulging on his forehead. Wang Yun was practically slapping them in the face, deliberately reopening old wounds. They had previously failed on that mountain and allowed Wang Yun to escape right under their noses.

Now, Wang Yun had returned and even brazenly showed up around this neighborhood, buying breakfast and even saving someone!.

Was this something a notorious criminal should be doing?

Now, everyone online believed he was a hero.

A notorious criminal viewed as a hero by the people was a huge slap in their faces.

In the livestream, Wu Mingyu’s face turned red as he received the call from Wu Yaoming. That failed capture was a permanent scar in their hearts.

“Wang Yun is on that wild mountain. Everyone, mobilize immediately and follow me!”

Upon hearing Wu Mingyu’s words, everyone in the program headquarters sprang into action without a second thought. This time, they all deployed together. Wang Yun had returned to his previous location. Such a bold fugitive was anything but ordinary.

It was understandable that none of the program inspectors had guessed this.

Who would have thought that a thief would rob a house, find nothing worth stealing, and then come back to rob the same house again after a few days?

No one would suspect it to be the same thief.

Wu Yaoming and the others set out once more. They had lost count of how many times they had gone out to capture Wang Yun. The program team had previously mentioned that the inspectors were not restricted, so they personally went out to catch Wang Yun every time. But each time, the results were disappointing.

As a result, whenever a program inspection Captain didn’t go out, the audience would consider it irresponsible.

***

In the livestream, Mr. Fang looked at their late realization and shook his head helplessly.

“They either underestimated Wang Yun or overestimated their own judgment. When apprehending the same criminal, the first thing any law enforcement personnel should do is thoroughly re-examine the previous activity areas. Even though the chances of catching him might be slim, re-examining the scene is a fundamental principle.”

This time, Mr. Fang showed no mercy to the program inspectors and criticized them bluntly.

The celebrity next to him, seeing Mr. Fang’s stern demeanor for the first time, was slightly taken aback.

The audience watching the live broadcast quickly sent comments.

“Look at that, Mr. Fang is disappointed with the inspection team. Even actors playing police in movies know to check previous case files immediately when a new case arises!”

“This is the same logic as catching Wang Yun. When he escapes, the first thing should be to check the places he stayed before!”

“Well, Wang Yun is different from others. Who would have thought someone as arrogant as Wang Yun would return to the same mountain?”

“Tsk, the problem is these program inspectors are too arrogant and blind! If Wang Yun hadn’t saved someone, they wouldn’t have even found out!”

The viewers engaged in heated discussions. At this moment, everyone blamed the program inspectors. Indeed, in this particular search, they made a critical, fundamental mistake.

It was no wonder Mr. Fang was upset. When Mr. Fang saw Wang Yun return to the mountain to hide again, he had mentioned it in the live broadcast.

Wang Yun was truly audacious to dare to return. The subtext was that he would certainly be discovered by the program inspectors. Yet, surprisingly, three whole days had passed. Wang Yun had already taken action once, even killing several program inspectors, and these people hadn’t thought to recheck the mountain.

As a result, all day today, Mr. Fang’s face had been anything but normal.

Not only was Mr. Fang a bit angry, but along the way, Wu Yaoming and the others also looked very grim. In the car, no one spoke.

This time, Wang Yun’s slap in the face was too painful. Even if they had been eliminated by Wang Yun, it wouldn’t be as humiliating as this.

Wang Yue kept her head down, not daring to look out the window. For the first time, she felt like quitting the program. Ying Yuezi’s mouth was tightly shut, but her eyebrows twitched slightly. A never-before-seen expression was evident on her face: guilt and self-blame.

Indeed, if any one of them had suggested checking the place where Wang Yun had escaped, they wouldn’t be seeing Wang Yun on TV now. And Wang Yun was being portrayed as a hero for saving someone.

This time, no one knew what to say.

Soon, they arrived at the foot of the mountain where they had been before. As with the previous operation, everyone surrounded the entire mountain, including helicopters ready for action.

It was the same familiar mountain, the same arrest process, the same night. Everything seemed to return to the beginning.

Wang Yue and the others took a deep breath, looking seriously behind them.

“Are the police dogs in position? Helicopters, wait for the command to take off. Don’t alert the target.”

“Snipers, have you reached your positions? Everyone, from now on, stay alert.”

“Move up the mountain.”
