Chapter 178 - 178: The Death of Wang Ergou!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
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 Ergou’s 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:
“Stop!”
“Don’t move!”
“Drop your weapon!”
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 Ergou’s knife had truly gone through with its intended strike against Yang Qingyue, it would have resulted in severe harm, if not death.
As people’s 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 couldn’t 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.
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:
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
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 Qingyue’s 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 weren’t 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
Qingyue’s hand had suspended itself in the air and pierced directly into Wang Ergou’s 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 Qingyue’s 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 Ergou’s condition, one called for emergency assistance, and the remaining individual entered the house.
“Are you all okay?” 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.
“I… I’m okay,” Yang Qingyue responded timidly.
“What about you? Are you hurt?” he inquired, looking at Sister Zhou and Li Xinting.
“I’m fine…
“I… I’m also okay…”
Sister Zhou and Li Xinting approached Yang Qingyue and stood together, gazing at Wang Ergou’s lifeless body.
“Urgh…”
Finally, they couldn’t 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 wouldn’t vomit. “Alright, you two, please go outside for now. We’ll handle things here, and later, we’ll need you to come to the police station to make a statement.”
“Urgh… Okay… Urgh.’
As she responded, Sister Zhou continued to retch. With Yang Qingyue’s support, she and Li Xinting eventually made their way outside.
In the meantime, Wang Ergou’s 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.
“D*mn! Scared the piss out of me! What the hell is going on?”
“Jeez! Did Brother Gou die? If nothing unexpected happened, he’s probably already met the King of Hell, right?”
“That can’t be… Why? Brother Gou didn’t do anything outrageous!” “No, no! Something was wrong! Brother Dog. here. F * ck!
It’s too mystical!”
“No, no! Something’s not right! Brother Gou… This… F*ck! It’s too surreal!” “What’s with all this confusion? D*mn it! How did it come to this?” “I… I need to go back to bed. I feel like I’ve transmigrated today!”
“Exactly! What they said upstairs! Transmigrated, transmigrated! This plot development is way too fast! God!”
“Is Brother Dao really that terrifying now? He means what he says…” “Brother Dao… all I can say is… he’s awesome!” “Enough said, Brother Dao is on top, so I bow to him as a lackey!”
“All I can say… Brother Dao is Brother Dao!”
“Wang Ergou, this piece of trash! Deserves to die! Fortunately, Sister Zhou is okay! Otherwise, I’d have gone to kill him without waiting for Brother Dao!” “My big cleaver has been itching for action! But it seems useless now!” “Well… I feel like Brother Gou had it pretty rough… At the very least, he didn’t deserve to die?”
“Right… No matter how you look at it… even if he did something unethical, it’s not a death sentence… but now…”
“Huh… Wang Ergou’s death, he brought it upon himself!”
“Exactly! He dug his own grave!”
“By the way, did you hear? Brother Dao agreed to the platform’s event this time.”
“Is it true? I heard there are some big celebrities as guests this time. Do you think Brother Dao will also follow Big Honeybee?”
“F*ck! You, the one above, dare to share your address? I’m going to kill you right now!”
“That’s just audacious! If Brother Dao dares to follow my Big Honeybee, I won’t agree first! I’ll unfollow him!”
“That’s right!”
At this moment, Li Yidao didn’t 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 information….
