I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 760 - 516 Provocation Again_2

[That's right! When God Xia arrives on the Stone Crane, it'll cause another huge sensation. If the Anchor wants to film it, she's going to need a lot of stamina.]

...

It had to be said that most of the viewers in the livestream were quite sympathetic and understood Liu Tongtong's predicament.

About half an hour later, the doors to the emergency room suddenly burst open as several nurses rushed a gurney in. Running alongside them were Xu Lan and the fire chief. At the entrance to an emergency room, such scenes were common; when a critically ill patient arrived, they were rushed in by medical staff. The crowd gathered at the door didn't think anything was amiss.

However, the sharp-eyed Liu Tongtong raised an eyebrow when she saw Xu Lan and the fire chief. A sense of foreboding washed over her.

"Family, viewers, I have to say something, and I hope you can all handle it," Liu Tongtong said gravely, looking into the livestream camera after taking a deep breath.

"You're probably going to be disappointed. God Xia won't be appearing on an Immortal Crane. If I'm not mistaken, the Stone Crane has already returned to the plaza in Ice River Park. It's turned back into marble pavement and is no longer a crane. As for whether God Xia himself will show up here, I can't say. But I'm afraid you'll never get to see the Stone Crane magic again."

As soon as she finished speaking, the bullet comments paused for a fraction of a second before exploding with countless questions.

[No way? Anchor, do you have inside info? Did you contact the magician?]

[Yeah, the magician hasn't even shown up yet. How do you know?]

[Nooo! I tuned in specifically to see the Stone Crane magic!]

[Did the Anchor see something? Spit it out!]

[She sounds so certain. I have a feeling she's telling the truth.]

...

Liu Tongtong sighed and explained, "You might not have noticed, but I just saw the fire chief and the doctor who left with the magician earlier. They both just appeared. And on that gurney was an unconscious, injured young man. That has to be the boy who attempted suicide for love. Since he's already here, it means the magician won't be arriving on the Stone Crane. However, I'll continue to stream the results of this incident for anyone who is interested. If you're not, you can feel free to leave now."

Sure enough, after Liu Tongtong finished speaking, the livestream's viewership plummeted. It quickly fell to just over seven million and was still declining rapidly. Clearly, many had come just for Xia Liang's magic. Without that main attraction, they naturally chose to leave.

Another half an hour passed, and the viewership had dwindled to just over two million. These remaining viewers chose to stay, wanting to see how the situation would develop and what the final outcome would be. The tragic love story of Ma Ying and Zhan Le had moved them, and they wanted to know why their parents had intervened, leading to this tragedy.

At the same time, a Lamborghini Poison pulled to a stop at the entrance of the City Center Hospital. Xia Liang got out of the passenger seat and headed inside. A Volkswagen also drove into the hospital lot, from which a couple emerged. The woman, her face etched with anxiety, led the way as they hurried toward the emergency room. If Ma Ying had been there, she would have recognized this couple as her parents.

In front of the intensive care unit, more than two hours had passed since Zhan Le came out of the operating room, and four hours since he had first been brought to the hospital. The two-hour surgery had been a success. The tendons and blood vessels in his wrist were reconnected, and all that remained was for him to recover.

Just then, the ward door opened, and the attending physician, Xu Lan, walked out. Seeing Xia Liang and the others, she smiled. "The patient has awakened. You can go in to see him now. However, please be mindful of his emotional state. Don't overexcite him. After all, he just went through surgery and his condition isn't very stable."

Hearing this, Ma Ying, her parents, and Zhan Le's parents, who had rushed back from out of town, immediately went inside.

Soon, only Xia Liang and Liu Tongtong, who had tagged along, remained in the corridor. Xia Liang hadn't gone inside. Moments before, Ma Ying, her parents, and even Zhan Le's parents had all invited him in, but he had declined. For him, simply knowing that Zhan Le was alive and safe was enough. His purpose in coming was to understand the reason behind the incident to complete the System's mission. As for Liu Tongtong, both sets of parents had tacitly allowed her to remain as a witness, because she represented the tens of thousands of curious viewers watching her stream. After all, the incident had caused a national sensation, and both families were aware of this. Therefore, they showed no dissatisfaction toward Xia Liang or Liu Tongtong.

In fact, they were all incredibly grateful to Xia Liang; without his help, neither Ma Ying nor Zhan Le would have survived. This gratitude was the reason they had so strongly insisted on him joining them in the ward. Liu Tongtong, who had livestreamed the entire suicide attempt and subsequent rescue by Xia Liang, had also played a pivotal role in the matter.

In the quiet corridor, Liu Tongtong set her selfie stick on a chair and stretched her stiff body. After streaming for so long today, she was on the verge of collapse, having reached her physical limit. It was the first time since becoming an Anchor that she had streamed for such a long time and felt so exhausted. While stretching, she was also quietly observing Xia Liang, but she was tactful enough not to disturb him.

Xia Liang sat quietly on a chair, scrolling through the news on his phone when a trending headline suddenly caught his eye—and it was about him.

It was a video titled: "Internationally Renowned Magic Master Peng Changye to Challenge Internet-Famous Street Magician Xia Liang at Qingyun Open-Air Stadium!"

The news was incredibly popular, with over a million views already.

Xia Liang clicked on it and saw a press conference held by Peng Changye. Standing on stage, Peng Changye spoke confidently to the countless reporters below.

"Many of you know about the grudge between me and this so-called 'God Xia.' He defeated me on the street with a few petty tricks. I could let that slide, but the man is simply too arrogant. He publicly slandered my magic, which has caused great damage to my reputation. I had originally planned to challenge him to a Water Tank Escape on the 'Magic Night' stage, but the coward not only refused, he was rude about it. Since he looks down on the 'Magic Night' stage, fine. I'll simply change the venue."

At this point, Peng Changye's gaze sharpened considerably. "I will formally challenge him at Qingyun Stadium. Of course, challenging him is secondary. The primary goal is to present a spectacular magic competition to the public. I have invited my mentor, the internationally famous Magic Master, Mr. Willis, to appear as a special guest. We have also invited a lineup of top-tier magic masters from both home and abroad. We want to give the people of Qingyun a truly unique magical feast! And for those not in Qingyun, don't worry. We will be livestreaming the entire event across the web, so everyone in the Dragon Country can experience the charm of magic!"

...

The video was over half an hour long, but Xia Liang closed it after only the first five minutes. He understood Peng Changye's motive for organizing this event. First and foremost, he wanted to use this opportunity to reclaim the honor he had lost.
