Chapter 107 Chapter 107 Whoever's turn it is, how can we let it go so easily...
The sudden gunshots made everyone who were originally dissatisfied with Wu Xuan feel like they had pressed the pause button, and they were completely stunned.
A strong smell of blood spread in the restaurant. Looking at the tragic scene of Qi Song dying with his eyes open, several terrified screams were heard from the living room.
"You, what did you do?"
Zhong Zining looked at Qi Song's body and thought she was hallucinating.
In full view of the public, with more than 10 million viewers in the live broadcast room, Wu Xuan actually dared to kill someone. Is he crazy?
The director and crew were also terrified, subconsciously focusing the camera on Qi Song. His blood-spurting, gruesome death made it look like a horror movie, frightening the audience as well.
[Holy crap! Qi Song was actually shot? Is this true? What the hell is going on with the production team?]
[Of course it's fake. If something really happened to Qi Song, the live broadcast would have been interrupted immediately, but the production team is still broadcasting, which means this is all a prank.]
[If you're just trying to attract attention, just do a good travel variety show. Is it interesting to do something this bizarre?]
[But it was so real, I was so scared that I couldn’t breathe.]
[The owner of this castle is so handsome, and he even plays the role of a murderer. How cool.]
Most viewers don’t believe that Wu Xuan would dare to kill people in public, which would have a serious negative impact on society, unless he himself doesn’t want to live.
But many viewers also realized the seriousness of the matter.
[He brought everyone to such a secluded place, but mentioned Xu Qinghu. Was it really not intentional?]
[Didn't Xu Qinghu die a long time ago? Why is this person still mentioning her?]
[Who is Xu Qinghu?]
New audience members were confused.
[Is he Qiao Wanshu’s good friend?]
The barrage of comments froze for a moment, as if some taboo had been mentioned.
But soon people began to spread the word about how bad Xu Qinghu was, saying that she had done many bad things and eventually died alone because of her own evil deeds.
They haven't given up on cyberbullying a deceased person. Every time she's mentioned, a new round of carnival begins.
[But, she shouldn't be judged like this, right?]
Some people couldn't help but say: "She didn't do anything harmful, why do people hate her so much?"
These words immediately caused an uproar in the live broadcast room. Many viewers who played an important role in the online violence began to curse, saying that these people had problems with their brains. Xu Qinghu was so unscrupulous, but they could still whitewash her.
[But, wasn't she killed by you? Are you still going to treat her like this?]
As soon as these words were spoken, the comments froze again, as if someone was feeling guilty. But none of this mattered anymore.
He Shengnian squatted down, raised his hand and touched Qi Song's nose. After finding that he had completely stopped breathing, he looked up at Wu Xuan who was looking at the pistol. He was holding the pistol, standing quietly at the end of the dining table, with a faint smile still on his lips.
"Alright," he said slowly, his lips parted. "Can you please sit down and continue to enjoy this last supper?"
He emphasized the word "last" and his eyes swept across everyone's face, as if appreciating their fear at the moment.
When meeting Wu Xuan's gaze, Qiao Wanshu's face turned pale and he had a bad premonition in his heart. He subconsciously took out his cell phone to call the police, only to find that there was no signal here at all.
No one dared to hesitate any longer and quietly sat back in their original seats, looking for help from the director and program staff behind the camera.
The audience is unsure whether Qi Song is alive or dead, but how could they not know.
Wu Xuan came prepared, so they could only hope that the audience would help them call the police as soon as possible.
As a result, the director had one of his legs broken by Wu Xuan. He was so scared that he huddled in a corner, letting out a shrill wail.
"Continue," Wu Xuan turned around and looked at everyone's pale faces, "Let's talk about Xu Qinghu."
His gaze fell on Ruan Xiaoyu, and he asked with interest: "Tell me what you have done to her."
Ruan Xiaoyu shuddered and said with a stiff upper lip, "I, I'm not familiar with her. She keeps to herself in the little house, and we rarely have the chance to communicate."
Wu Xuan was not satisfied with this answer. His eyes fell on her eyebrows, as if he was thinking about how to kill her.
"I'm telling you," Ruan Xiaoyu trembled with fear. "I admit that I did distance myself from her because of the online public opinion, but I never really hurt her..."
She lowered her eyelashes, a trace of unconcealable sadness on her face. "If I had known that she would eventually die of depression, I would not have stood idly by. I..."
"That's enough." Wu Xuan interrupted her, the smile on his lips quickly disappearing, "Don't act in front of me."
Ruan Xiaoyu's breathing stagnated, and she slowly closed her eyes without explaining any further.
Wu Xuan's bullet landed on the red wine glass beside her hand, and the shattered glass left deep blood marks on Ruan Xiaoyu's face and neck.
She opened her eyes and found that Wu Xuan's gaze had fallen on Wen Ruoxi and Zhong Zining beside him.
Although they were also very scared, their statements were similar to hers.
Although they also disliked Xu Qinghu, they had not done anything to harm her in any substantial way.
"If you want to blame someone, blame the netizens," Zhong Zining couldn't help but say, "It was those negative rumors and those who spread them that drove her to death. It had nothing to do with us."
"Really?" Wu Xuan's mouth curled up again. As she looked at him in disbelief, he shot her in the shoulder. He seemed to have transformed into a cold-faced Shura and said expressionlessly, "I said, I don't like to hear lies."
"I'm telling you," Zhong Zining said with difficulty, clutching her bloodied shoulder as she nearly fainted from the pain. "I only targeted her a few times because of Qiao Wanshu, but I really didn't want her to die."
"If you want to blame someone, blame Gu Jingchen and Qiao Wanshu. If it weren't for them, how could she be cyberbullied?"
She shifted the blame without hesitation, gritting her teeth and saying, "Even if you kill me, you won't be able to truly avenge Xu Qinghu."
The massive blood loss made her face look increasingly ugly, and her voice gradually became lower.
Ruan Xiaoyu and Wen Ruoxi were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They quickly took off their coats to stop her bleeding.
Qiao Wanshu and "Gu Jingchen" both changed their expressions. The increasingly oppressive feeling made them like ants on a hot pan, and they could no longer remain calm.
Wu Xuan didn't ask them, but looked at You Zhi and Du Yanting.
"I'm sorry," You Zhi was the first to formally apologize. He didn't avoid Wu Xuan's eyes and whispered, "Although she and I didn't have much in common, her death was closely related to the romance show. My inaction was also one of the reasons for her death."
He often had nightmares in recent years. Every time he dreamed of Xu Qinghu, he felt that he was too cowardly for standing idly by and watching her under pressure from public opinion.
"I am willing to accept punishment." He closed his eyes and said slowly: "Shoot."
Wu Xuan ignored him and looked at Du Yanting.
Du Yanting leaned back in his chair and sighed, "I didn't expect that after so much time has passed, there are still people who are standing up for her."
Wu Xuan is He Shengnian's partner, which means that his family background is comparable to He Shengnian's. When he mentioned Xu Qinghu for the first time, Du Yanting realized that he was well prepared.
Xu Qinghu is the traffic password for all the guests in the cabin, and it is also a taboo that cannot be mentioned.
Because she is dead.
If you rely on the traffic of dead people, you will feel guilty unconsciously.
"I have nothing to say," Du Yanting said, "You found us, so you already know the truth, right? Why ask again?"
The live broadcast room has not been closed yet. How could he possibly say what he had done in front of so many people?
Even if he doesn't think about himself, he has to think about his mother and the Du family.
Regardless of whether the live broadcast room was not closed because of the hackers hired by Wu Xuan, or because the audience still thinks it is an act, he will never reveal his true feelings.
"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me," Wu Xuan said decisively. He broke both of his arms and then pointed the gun at his heart. "I have plenty of time anyway."
Unprecedented pain swept through Du Yanting's body. He slid off the chair with a pale face and curled up his whole body.
"Ah!" Ruan Xiaoyu and the others screamed in fear, unable to help but ask, "What on earth do you want to do? Do you know that killing is illegal?"
"Xu Qinghu's death has nothing to do with us," Wen Ruoxi also said, "It was the online media that killed her. If you want to find someone, you should go find those who spread the rumors. What's the point of looking for us?"
"Not one will be left behind." Wu Xuan walked up to Du Yanting and stared down at him. "I'll give you one last chance."
He pointed the gun at Du Yanting's eyebrows and said meaningfully: "If you die, you will have nothing."
Du Yanting's neck veins bulged with pain, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You lunatic!"
"Tell everyone what you did to Xu Qinghu." Wu Xuan said, "Tell them all, or you and your family will die."
Hearing "family", Du Yanting finally showed a trace of panic, "What did you do to her? What did you do to her!"
A split screen appeared in the live broadcast room. A helpless middle-aged woman was tied to a cruise ship. The ship had arrived at the high seas. Several men in black suits were pointing guns at her.
"That is..." Du Yanting opened his eyes wide in shock, unable to believe what he saw.
"If you don't tell me, I'll have her beaten to death and thrown into the sea to feed the sharks."
Du Yanting's pupils contracted violently, and his whole body withered. He said in an inaudible voice: "I'll say."
"So you're afraid sometimes," Wu Xuan said with a smile, "I thought you were really incorrigible."
He patted Du Yanting's face with the butt of his gun and said, "Tell everyone what you have done."
At this moment, He Shengnian suddenly pounced on Wu Xuan from behind!
Others don’t understand Wu Xuan, but he knows him very well.
Wu Xuan has a disabled leg and has just woken up from a vegetative state. He is at his weakest now. As long as they take the gun from his hand, they can leave here!
He Shengnian had been training constantly, and his movements were incredibly agile, so snatching the gun was a piece of cake. But Wu Xuan was incredibly perceptive, and the moment he detected He Shengnian's movements, he turned around and broke his leg.
"It's not your turn yet," Wu Xuan sighed as he looked at He Shengnian, who had collapsed to the ground in dismay. "Whose territory do you think this is?"
"Husband!" Seeing He Shengnian injured, Qiao Wanshu rushed over in fear, raised her hand to cover his wound, her face pale to a terrifying degree, "It's me who implicated you."
By now, she was very clear about Wu Xuan's final goal. He started by asking about Ruan Xiaoyu. Wasn't he just going to keep her and Gu Jingchen until the final judgment?
If he could arrest Du Yanting’s family, why wouldn’t he arrest his own family?
She had originally hoped that the police would find this place as soon as possible and rescue them, but now there was only endless chill.
Thinking of Xu Qinghu's bright and beautiful face, her heart sank and an unprecedented panic swept over her body.
The miserable situation in the restaurant made it impossible for the audience in the live broadcast room to deceive themselves even if they wanted to.
[Is this really acting? How come these guests' acting is better than the actors'? It's too realistic.]
[Are you still deceiving yourself?]
Someone said: "I just checked those people who exposed Xu Qinghu's negative information back then. Guess what I found?"
[They all won a prize a few days ago and were given a place on a trip to Antarctica. They were killed on the ship. I heard that when they were found, their bodies were covered in bruises.]
[The parents and family members of these people all suffered various accidents, either losing their jobs or getting into car accidents. No one was spared.]
When the news came out, everyone was shocked.
[This must be fake. So many people suffered back then, how could they all suffer retribution?]
[Fake?] The man scoffed: [Maybe you'll be next. Those of you who wantonly spread rumors about Xu Qinghu online, get ready to die!]
As soon as these words were spoken, they quickly caused a lot of panic. Coupled with the bloody scene in the live broadcast room, the barrage of comments that cursed Xu Qinghu disappeared instantly.
[So, everything that happened in the live broadcast room was real? And Wu Xuan also kidnapped Du Yanting's family, is that what you mean?]
[It should be said that there was a hidden reason behind Xu Qinghu's negative information, otherwise what happened now wouldn't have happened.]
[If that's the case, then Xu Qinghu is truly miserable.]
When they looked at the live broadcast room again, everyone's mentality suddenly changed, and they all asked the program team to call the police to rescue several people.
Little did they know that the place Wu Xuan chose was very remote, and by the time the police arrived, the live broadcast would most likely have ended.
"I'm telling you," Du Yanting said with difficulty, lying on the ground with Qi Song's body beside him, "The reason the production team and I asked Xu Qinghu to participate in the show was to make her a stepping stone for Qiao Wanshu."
He said in an almost cruel tone: "The more miserable she is, the more it highlights Qiao Wanshu's perfection. As for instigating the relationship between her and Qiao Wanshu in the cabin, it was also because I wanted to increase the popularity of the show as soon as possible."
"My mother invested in this show. I made a promise to her that if I could make it work, I would inherit the company and take over her business..."
Perhaps because of the pain, he kept gasping for air and spoke intermittently, "The online public opinion is also influenced by me and the program team. Black and red are also red. As long as the dating show can go viral, sacrificing Xu Qinghu is not impossible. Who made her overestimate her own abilities and try to take shortcuts by relying on the show..."
Du Yanting's lips curled up, and he clearly had no sympathy for Xu Qinghu. "The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit. She should have anticipated her own fate."
After hearing this, not only did the other people present stand there in a daze, but a lot of questions also arose in the live broadcast room.
So, were Du Yanting and the production team deliberately trying to harass Xu Qinghu? I was wondering why the public opinion was so aggressive back then; it turns out it was the capitalists at work.
[Du Yanting invested in the program, so does that mean he can use Xu Qinghu as a sacrifice? What gives him the right to do so?]
[How disgusting! It turns out he was the culprit who killed Xu Qinghu!]
[It should be more than that. If it was just Du Yanting, the public opinion wouldn't be so intense.]
Everyone's eyes fell on Qiao Wanshu. She shrank her body and tried desperately to hide her existence, but she could not escape the scrutiny of the camera.
"I'm done," Du Yanting stared at Wu Xuan, "Let her go."
He looked at the woman struggling on the deck, a trace of tension in his eyes.
Wu Xuan's mouth curled up, "You killed the most important person to me, do you think you can get away with it so easily?"
He waved to the live broadcast room, and the next second, someone shot the woman to death and threw her body to feed the fish without hesitation.
The whole process took less than half a minute, but it made Du Yanting's eyes bloodshot and a beast-like howl came from his throat!
"You lunatic," he roared heartbreakingly, "You lunatic! I will never let you go!"
The unprecedented grief made him unable to maintain his composure. He struggled to get up and rushed towards Wu Xuan, but was shot in the heart by him.
"This is your end."
Seeing him lying on the ground covered in blood, his eyes fixed on him, his body still twitching, Wu Xuan said expressionlessly: "Who's next?"
He looked around, looked at "Gu Jingchen", and said quietly: "So it's Teacher Gu."
"Gu Jingchen"'s body stiffened and his breathing seemed to have stopped.
