Are You Crazy? You’re Telling Me This Is a Fugitive TV Show?
Chapter 51 Narrow Escape, the Producers Heart Is Bleeding

Laughter erupted in the command control room’s livestream as soon as Zhang Xingchen spoke. While everyone else was flaunting their skills, human or otherwise, Zhang Xingchen was the only one getting thrashed.

It was already his fourth attempt, and the audience couldn’t help but revel at the sight of his deeply frustrated expression.

“So pitiful!”

“Condolences to him!”

“His face is swollen!”

“Time to leave Earth and find a secluded spot to lick his wounds.”

Viewers were mercilessly mocking Zhang Xingchen. But at the same time, his appraisal of Wang Yun left many astounded.

Though Zhang Xingchen might fall short when it comes to law enforcement, he was an unquestionable authority in the sports world.

For a world champion to directly admit that he was inferior to Wang Yun–how profound of an endorsement was that?

“He’s indeed incredible. The production team should consider nominating Wang Yun for a Guinness World Record,” remarked Jiang Youshan, who had been silent for some time. “Before my retirement from Interpol, I spent a considerable period overseas. I’ve encountered numerous extreme sports enthusiasts there, but none come close to Wang Yun. Wingsuit flying is exceedingly risky. While you may only see Wang Yun’s carefree and adventurous side, one mistake could be fatal.”

“Absolutely. A word of caution to our live viewers. Do not attempt to replicate this, or else funeral arrangements will be in order, ten seats per table,” Shen Hao chimed in, nodding and smiling as he issued the warning.

His comment drew knowing smiles from everyone present. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NʘvᴇlFirᴇ.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

The video feed continued to display a figure of sheer coolness and flair, soaring swiftly toward the ground.

At a height of several dozen meters, a small parachute was deployed. Wang Yun made a swift and stable landing in front of a shopping mall under construction.

The location was a kilometer away from the Nansu Plaza Tower.

“Phew!”

Atop Nansu Plaza Tower, Zhao Shan, Chen Minghao, and the rest of the program investigation team took a deep breath, their faces etched with awe.

“Captain, we’ve been bested,” they declared in a somber tone.

“It’s alright, return. The fault is mine for holding you all back,” Zhang Xingchen replied, a wry smile forming on his face, from inside the command center.

“Captain Xingchen, you’ve already performed admirably. If it had been any of us, we would have also been defeated by him. Wang Yun is not someone to be measured by ordinary standards,” Leng Ming chimed in.

Although Zhang Xingchen lacked strong detective skills, had he really faltered in these recent arrest attempts? Absolutely not. Every move he made was calculated and correct.

This time, even with guidance from Hong Feng, there wasn’t a single mistake. It was all due to Wang Yun’s extraordinary capabilities.

“I believe we should accord this fugitive Wang Yun the respect he deserves by bestowing upon him a fitting title. He has stolen the Dazzling Starry Sky necklace worth hundreds of millions. I propose we call him ‘Phantom Thief Wang Yun,’” declared Hong Feng.

“Phantom Thief Wang Yun? Undoubtedly, he has earned that title,” agreed the other captains, nodding in unison. Such thieving skills were world-class.

“Captain Xingchen, I admit defeat this time. Moving forward, I’d like to formally enlist in the efforts to apprehend Wang Yun,” announced Hong Feng, closing his notebook and addressing Zhang Xingchen earnestly.

“I’ve already been beaten black and blue, so naturally, I welcome Captain Hong Feng’s help with open arms,” Zhang Xingchen responded, forcing a sardonic smile.

Inspection Team Four, which included a real-life author, a mystery investigator, and a retired police bureau consultant, together with Captain Hong Feng welcomed as an official member of Wang Yun’s arrest team.

“Zhang Xingchen is utterly humbled. He’s lost all fight!”

“Who wouldn’t under these circumstances? Captain Hong Feng has fully committed himself to the mission of arresting Wang Yun.”

“Captain Hong Feng has already intervened this time in the apprehension of Wang Yun and yet has come up short. It seems like he’s not willing to let this go, he’s fully committed now.”

“With a top-tier inspector joining the fray, the upcoming arrest operation promises to be exciting.”

In the livestream, all the viewers brimmed with anticipation as they witnessed Captain Hong Feng officially joining the effort.

“Producer, what’s the next move? Wang Yun has managed to escape, and the Dazzling Starry Sky necklace is still with him.”

In an adjacent room, a staff member was visibly shocked as he digested the fact that Wang Yun had managed to elude capture in such a manner.

“Quite the unforeseen turn of events. Reach out to Wang Yun directly and instruct him to hand the necklace over to our staff. The necklace can’t be danced for cash and is therefore useless to him, besides, it doesn’t hamper or help his overall escape plans,” instructed the executive producer, with a tinge of regret. “The crux of the matter is its exorbitant value.”

“Understood, I’ll relay the message to Wang Yun.”

The staff member nodded and activated his communicator.

“Comrade Wang Yun, I’m a staff member of the Skynet Operation TV show. We will dispatch someone to find you later. Kindly hand over the Dazzling Starry Sky necklace to them to avoid any mishaps,” he announced.

At the same moment, in the heart of Nancheng, Wang Yun had just flagged down a taxi. He appeared perplexed when a voice from his tech chip filled the air.

“Uh? Why should I surrender the Starry Sky necklace to you? According to the show’s rules, that necklace belongs to me. You’ll have to provide me with an identical one. After all, those are our show’s rules. You wouldn’t break them, would you?” Wang Yun questioned, blinking innocently.

“Uh… well…”

Caught off guard by Wang Yun’s response, the staff member hesitated. He glanced at the executive producer and pursed his lips. “Our producer’s heart is bleeding!”
