564: Uncover the secrets
Although his gun was currently pointed at Song Wen's forehead, Su Yue knew he wouldn't shoot.
Because Song Wen still wore a pulse detector on his wrist, and once he died, the entire Dihao Building could face destruction.
Moreover, even if Su Yue resolved the issue with the pulse detector, the current predicament wouldn't fundamentally change.
Song Wen was alive, which was why the drug dealers were controlled and hadn't opened fire.
But what if he died?
Who could guarantee these drug dealers wouldn't go berserk and start a massacre?
Therefore, Su Yue did not choose to shoot.
Although the situation seemed to have reversed, this was merely winning one move against Song Wen.
Winning the initial confrontation was just a starting point, the key to initiating the second one.
Looking at Song Wen's bloodshot eyes, Su Yue knew the humiliation in his heart and his eagerness to prove himself.
And at this moment, while Song Wen was consumed by anger and shame, it was the best time to speak.
Once Song Wen realized he still held leverage, Su Yue's next plan wouldn't proceed so smoothly.
Thus, moments after pointing the gun at Song Wen's forehead, Su Yue slowly lowered it again.
He suddenly asked out of the blue, "Song Wen, do you know how Wang Hua died?"
Hearing this sentence, Song Wen was suddenly startled, and the audience in the live stream instantly erupted!
"What did Su Yue just say!"
"The decryption has begun!"
"So exciting! A 'series in a lifetime'!"
"It's great to be alive in modern society!"
The suicide of the ringleader Wang Hua had always been a mystery; no one knew why he chose that path.
Since he could escape from the train under those circumstances, why would he commit suicide?
He had developed such a massive pickpocketing gang, why didn't he go into hiding and wait for a comeback?
These questions were originally thought to be forever lost at the bottom of the sea, but unexpectedly, the only person in the world who knew the truth was about to speak at this moment!
Song Wen didn't understand why Su Yue would ask such a question at this time.
But before he could think, Su Yue chuckled and said, "You don't even know about such big news?"
"How did Wang Hua die? He committed suicide."
Looking at the understated smile on Su Yue's face, Song Wen felt his brain buzzing!
Of course, he knew Wang Hua committed suicide!
But Su Yue continued, "Then why didn't I kill him myself? Because I'm different from you, I never kill people. But suicide has nothing to do with me."
Su Yue's eyes narrowed as he looked at Song Wen and said, "Although you've killed many people, you're still a bit short compared to Wang Hua."
"So I can clearly predict that you will also commit suicide."
"Song Wen, think about it, how will you commit suicide? Or you can guess, how did Wang Hua commit suicide?"
Su Yue's expression held a hint of playfulness.
Song Wen gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and calmed his emotions.
He looked at Su Yue and said, "I would never commit suicide. I can die, but I will never commit suicide. Su Yue, you think too simply of me. You're comparing me to a thief? Su Yue, you will definitely die here tonight!"
Song Wen seemed much calmer at this moment, but Su Yue knew this was just a facade.
Regardless, the madness emanating from Song Wen's eyes at this moment was too obvious.
However, in the live stream at this time, no matter which platform's live stream it was, the bullet comments paid no attention to what would happen to Song Wen.
They were all simultaneously flooding the screen with the same sentence: "What did Su Yue say?" "What did he say?"
No one cared about Song Wen at this moment, but of course, Song Wen didn't know any of this.
Chu Qing, who was standing nearby, felt as if she was dreaming at this scene.
Just a few minutes ago, Song Wen held a significant advantage, but how was he suddenly having an equal conversation with Su Yue now?
Furthermore, these drug dealers had surrounded the entire auditorium hall, with over forty guns pointed at them simultaneously...
What exactly was going on?
...
At Taoyang Baiyun Airport, an Airbus A380 had just landed.
As the chief flight attendant of the heroic crew, Ning Hao was promoted again due to her excellent performance, becoming the chief purser.
She was now flying international routes; although still on an A380 aircraft, her career was as smooth as a highway.
Ning Hao was young and promising, with outstanding professional ability, and having been promoted two levels at her age, her career was even more smooth sailing.
The plane landed at 8:15, and by 8:40, Ning Hao was already sitting in the lounge, taking out her phone and opening her browser to watch the live stream.
The scene on ZC5546 had frequently appeared in her dreams during this time.
That figure who frantically rushed from the cabin towards the cockpit was still vivid in her memory.
When she learned that Professor He Jiaxin's name was actually Su Yue, those memories surfaced before her eyes one by one.
Now that she had landed and knew Su Yue had appeared in a live stream, it made her even more eager to see that man's appearance again.
She recalled the moment she lied in front of the Municipal Bureau personnel, and her face flushed slightly.
The loading screen finished quickly, and Su Yue's appearance showed up on the screen.
She didn't know what the live stream was about, she just stared at Su Yue on the screen and thought to herself, "Are you okay...?"
In fact, it wasn't just Ning Hao; Hu Haiqiang, Zhang Hulan, and other crew members who had experienced that air disaster with Su Yue, as long as they were on the ground, were all watching this live stream.
Although they weren't as sensitive as Ning Hao, they were still concerned about Su Yue's safety.
In the corridor of the Airport apartment building, a sudden rush of footsteps sounded. Hu Haiqiang almost sprinted to the door of another dormitory and urgently knocked.
The door was quickly pulled open, and Zhang Hulan appeared at the doorway. He was holding his phone, his eyes fixed on the screen, not even bothering to see who was knocking.
"What are you watching?" Hu Haiqiang asked.
Hearing it was Hu Haiqiang's voice, Zhang Hulan just said "Oh" and didn't say anything more.
"Can I watch with you?" Hu Haiqiang asked again.
"Okay," Zhang Hulan replied.
The two reserve captains gathered together, staring at the six-inch screen of the phone, and couldn't help but recall the words of Professor Wu before landing.
If not for those words, they probably wouldn't have had the courage to board a plane again.
They wanted to thank Professor Wu properly, but had never seen him since, only later learning that Professor He Jiaxin was actually Su Yue.
Looking at the scene on the screen where Su Yue was pointing a gun at Song Wen, they couldn't help but remember Professor He Jiaxin's shout on the plane.
Even now, remembering it still felt thrilling.

Not only them, but the passengers rescued by Su Yue were also watching the live stream.
For Su Yue, they felt only gratitude and admiration.
In a near-desperate situation, Su Yue had safely brought them back to the ground.
They hoped Su Yue would also be safe and sound, and hoped to thank him in person someday.
The bullet comments in the live stream were still scrolling continuously, everyone asking: "What did Su Yue say?"
They were eager to know exactly what Su Yue had said, but Su Yue seemed to have changed the subject again.
Song Wen's face was extremely grim; he couldn't accept Su Yue's arrogant tone and attitude at this moment.
However, he didn't know what Su Yue was going to do, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
He didn't want to die now, nor did he want Su Yue to die now.
He wanted to win, to defeat Su Yue under the eyes of so many viewers.
Only then would this live stream be meaningful, and his name would be remembered by people.
However, when Su Yue said, "I can't possibly commit suicide," he smiled dismissively.
He tilted his head, as if recalling something, then spoke again: "Think about it, why did Wang Hua escape by jumping from the car when everyone in his gang was caught? Guess, is he someone who would want to commit suicide?"
Hearing this, Song Wen was stunned for a moment.
Su Yue stared at him and continued, "Because he had no other choice. He had reached a dead end. An escaped convict who couldn't continue to run, an escaped convict who was extremely harsh on his subordinates, what kind of end would he face if he entered prison and shared a room with his former subordinates? It's the same for you now! Song Wen, you will lose all your escape routes. If you want to maintain dignity, if you want your name not to be so stained, the only outcome for you is suicide!"
Su Yue's speaking speed increased, and his voice was extremely penetrating.
His words entered Song Wen's ears, making it impossible for him to refute.
Su Yue continued, "I won't say much, I'll just tell you what your future will be like. For Wang Hua, I just reminded him. I said, if you go to prison, how will your former subordinates treat you?"
His voice carried a shadow, as if a cloud of mist enveloped Song Wen, making him feel immense pressure.
Future? What future did he have left?
Su Yue was constantly paying attention to Song Wen's reaction, controlling his emotions with words.
Although he seemed to be handling it with ease, he knew he was dancing on the edge of a knife.
Every word he said was meaningful, hinting, reminding, guiding, step by step pushing Song Wen towards the thoughts he needed.
Future, useless, prove, compare... every step of Song Wen's thoughts was under Su Yue's control.
Despair, impulse, anger, competitiveness... each of these emotions was influenced and controlled by Su Yue's every word.
This wasn't a superpower, but the inevitable result of careful planning and thorough understanding.
Song Wen was a madman, and the demands in his mind would be infinitely amplified.
Under Su Yue's gradual guidance, what Song Wen was thinking about at this moment was completely what Su Yue had dug out from the deepest level of his subconscious, and then magnified repeatedly.
The humiliated Song Wen now had no normal thinking; all he wanted was to defeat Su Yue and then make all these viewers watch him die on camera!
However, in the live stream at this time, no one understood the reason behind Su Yue's actions.
But they understood why Wang Hua committed suicide.
"In a desperate situation, a king of thieves would naturally not want to be imprisoned, so that's how it is!"
"Was this also in your plan, Su Yue!" This question that had plagued people's minds for nearly a month was finally answered.
And the attitude and behavior Su Yue displayed at this moment further resonated with and elicited cheers from the audience.
"Su Yue is awesome!"
It seemed there were no other words to express people's thoughts; these four words once again flooded the live streams of every platform.
However, in the hall, Su Yue's impassioned tone suddenly subsided.
He looked at Song Wen and said, "I'm giving you a chance now. A chance to gamble with me again."
Song Wen was startled, then looked at Su Yue and asked, "What are we gambling on and how?"
His eyes were filled with restlessness, but his tone had returned to normal.
And when he asked that question, Su Yue had already achieved his next goal.
He smiled and said, "Hide-and-seek. As for what we're gambling on... we'll gamble on my life and the lives of all the hostages."
As soon as he said this, it was as if the air froze!
Not just on site, everyone watching the live stream felt as if they had heard a clap of thunder!
"The lives of all the hostages!? Is Su Yue crazy too!?" People were extremely shocked and completely forgot to type bullet comments.
For a moment, the dense bullet comments that had filled the screen completely disappeared!
After being slightly stunned for a moment, Song Wen suddenly let out a cold, sinister laugh: "Su Yue... what right do you have to gamble with me like that?"
A Qi's heart trembled violently when he heard Su Yue's words.
He couldn't believe why Su Yue would make such a choice!
"Is he crazy? Where does he get such guts?"
"Isn't he exposing his purpose and seeking his own death?"
A Qi's expression was solemn; he knew that once Song Wen heard Su Yue say this, he would definitely react.
In this situation, what chance of winning did Su Yue have?
Although on the surface, Su Yue held the gun, overall, Song Wen still held the initiative.
If things continued like this, the final outcome could only be failure.
He glanced at Li Ou beside him and saw that Li Ou's face also showed a look of worry.
This was indeed the case; the outcome of Su Yue doing this would only remind Song Wen of his purpose.
And once Song Wen controlled Su Yue's purpose, where would there be a chance of victory?
"It's over..."
Just as A Qi had this thought, he heard Song Wen's cold, sinister laugh.
"Su Yue, what right do you have to gamble with me?"
Hearing this, A Qi felt as if he had suddenly fallen into an ice cellar, feeling incredibly cold.
He cursed inwardly: "Smart all his life, but confused for a moment! How could he say that!"
...
In the auditorium hall, after Song Wen said that sentence, he paused for a moment.
He looked at Su Yue coldly, then spoke again: "Even though my gun is in your hand now, what does that matter? Your purpose in standing here isn't for this group of hostages? Once I die, how could you possibly not die? Su Yue, don't be so naive. This kind of gamble..."
He was interrupted by a contemptuous laugh before he could finish speaking.
"Are you afraid to gamble? This live stream... Song Wen, it doesn't matter if you don't gamble. To be frank, these hostages have nothing to do with me. If you want to kill them, go ahead."
Song Wen's eyebrows twitched noticeably when he heard the words "This live stream".
But hearing Su Yue's subsequent words, he narrowed his eyes and said with a cold smile, "This is the fortieth floor, there are only two exits. Su Yue, do you think you're not a hostage? Or do you think you can really leave here? The moment you stand here, you are already a dead man."
