Seeing that Wang Ergou had produced a spring-loaded knife out of nowhere, Sister Zhou and Li Xinting at the scene were petrified. They could do nothing but scream in terror.
Meanwhile, Yang Qingyue, seemingly stunned, stood motionless in place, as if she had been frightened into silence.
The fans watching the live stream were equally horrified and anxious, with fear and urgency evident in their eyes.
Considering the furious expression on Wang Ergouâs face, if he were to reach Yang Qingyue at this point, he was indeed prepared to act with deadly intent.
Moreover, it appeared that he had no intention of holding back.
Keep in mind that when a person lost control of their rationality in a fit of anger, that kind of unrestrained frenzy was far from under control.
As Wang Ergou was only half a meter away from Yang Qingyue, it seemed that in the next second, the dagger would directly pierce her throat.
But at that moment, from outside the room, near the window, several voices shouted simultaneously:
âStop!â
âDonât move!â
âDrop your weapon!â
The police had arrived!
As they got out of their car, they witnessed the scene just in time.
Without saying a word, several police officers quickly drew their weapons and aimed them at Wang Ergou. They were facing a situation where a violent crime was about to occur, and they took this threat very seriously.
Their response was swift and unwavering.
If Wang Ergouâs knife had truly gone through with its intended strike against Yang Qingyue, it would have resulted in severe harm, if not death.
As peopleâs police, the guardians of public safety, what was their immediate reaction when witnessing this scene? It was, of course, to issue warnings and commands to stop the imminent attack.
However, at this point, Wang Ergou had already assumed an aggressive stance and was consumed by anger.
He couldnât just stop on command.
Given a little time to think, or some space to cool down, he might have reconsidered his actions.
After all, with the police on the scene, it would be unthinkable for him to commit a murder right in front of them.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He might not have been planning to kill but merely to scare Yang Qingyue. However, his actions, from the perspective of the onlookers, seemed intent on killing.
As a result, the police officers had no choice but to react accordingly. Two gunshots rang out:
âBang!â
âBang!â
And then, Wang Ergou, with a bewildered look on his face, gazed down at his own chest.
He subsequently fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, staring intently in Yang Qingyueâs direction.
His eyes were filled with resentment and, most prominently, fear.
While the majority of the people present were too shocked by the unfolding events to notice, there was one person who observed a crucial detail: Li Yidao, watching intently in front of his screen.
Li Yidao noticed that when Wang Ergou was hit by the bullets, the shots werenât fatal.
The two police officers who fired were primarily trying to stop him rather than kill him, which was reflected in their aiming.
However, what no one else realized was that, simultaneously with the gunshot hitting Wang Ergou, an invisible droplet of water from the cup in Yang
Qingyueâs hand had suspended itself in the air and pierced directly into Wang Ergouâs heart.
It was this inconspicuous water droplet that was the absolute cause of Wang Ergou falling dead after being shot.
Wang Ergou, in the final moments, sensed or saw Yang Qingyueâs actions, and this was the reason for his overwhelming fear.
The police officers immediately took control of the suspect and called for emergency medical assistance.
They reported that the suspect was injured and requested immediate medical attention. The three officers efficiently divided their responsibilities.
One person stepped forward to assess Wang Ergouâs condition, one called for emergency assistance, and the remaining individual entered the house.
âAre you all okay?â asked one of the police officers as they approached.
At this moment, Sister Zhou and Li Xinting were already terrified.
As for Yang Qingyue, there was no trace of her previous calm demeanor.
She appeared as a vulnerable, frightened young woman, trembling involuntarily throughout her body.
Her earlier composure and unique presence were now completely concealed in the shadows.
âI⦠Iâm okay,â Yang Qingyue responded timidly.
âWhat about you? Are you hurt?â he inquired, looking at Sister Zhou and Li Xinting.
âIâm fineâ¦
âI⦠Iâm also okayâ¦â
Sister Zhou and Li Xinting approached Yang Qingyue and stood together, gazing at Wang Ergouâs lifeless body.
âUrghâ¦â
Finally, they couldnât help themselves.
Facing a dead body was not something most people could easily handle. In such situations, involuntary physical reactions were common.
Yang Qingyue pretended to retch, but in reality, she wouldnât vomit. âAlright, you two, please go outside for now. Weâll handle things here, and later, weâll need you to come to the police station to make a statement.â
âUrgh⦠Okay⦠Urgh.â
As she responded, Sister Zhou continued to retch. With Yang Qingyueâs support, she and Li Xinting eventually made their way outside.
In the meantime, Wang Ergouâs live stream was in complete chaos.
Even though the current broadcast was focused on a string of dried vegetables hanging from the ceiling, all the sounds, including the gunshots and the retching of Sister Zhou and Li Xinting, were being transmitted in perfect clarity.
Everyone was listening closely, making sure not to miss a single detail.
âD*mn! Scared the piss out of me! What the hell is going on?â
âJeez! Did Brother Gou die? If nothing unexpected happened, heâs probably already met the King of Hell, right?â
âThat canât be⦠Why? Brother Gou didnât do anything outrageous!â âNo, no! Something was wrong! Brother Dog. here. F * ck!
Itâs too mystical!â
âNo, no! Somethingâs not right! Brother Gou⦠This⦠F*ck! Itâs too surreal!â âWhatâs with all this confusion? D*mn it! How did it come to this?â âI⦠I need to go back to bed. I feel like Iâve transmigrated today!â
âExactly! What they said upstairs! Transmigrated, transmigrated! This plot development is way too fast! God!â
âIs Brother Dao really that terrifying now? He means what he saysâ¦â âBrother Dao⦠all I can say is⦠heâs awesome!â âEnough said, Brother Dao is on top, so I bow to him as a lackey!â
âAll I can say⦠Brother Dao is Brother Dao!â
âWang Ergou, this piece of trash! Deserves to die! Fortunately, Sister Zhou is okay! Otherwise, Iâd have gone to kill him without waiting for Brother Dao!â âMy big cleaver has been itching for action! But it seems useless now!â âWell⦠I feel like Brother Gou had it pretty rough⦠At the very least, he didnât deserve to die?â
âRight⦠No matter how you look at it⦠even if he did something unethical, itâs not a death sentence⦠but nowâ¦â
âHuh⦠Wang Ergouâs death, he brought it upon himself!â
âExactly! He dug his own grave!â
âBy the way, did you hear? Brother Dao agreed to the platformâs event this time.â
âIs it true? I heard there are some big celebrities as guests this time. Do you think Brother Dao will also follow Big Honeybee?â
âF*ck! You, the one above, dare to share your address? Iâm going to kill you right now!â
âThatâs just audacious! If Brother Dao dares to follow my Big Honeybee, I wonât agree first! Iâll unfollow him!â
âThatâs right!â
At this moment, Li Yidao didnât pay attention to the crazy discussions in the live stream and quietly exited the stream.
Li Yidao planned to meet with Yang Qingyue in person.
He had a feeling that from Yang Qingyue, he could obtain some valuable informationâ¦.
