Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In an instant, [Yes, I’m that Greatps memory returned to that night twelve years ago.
A few of his friends who were drinking with him rushed over with beer bottles and stools to help.
The gangster’s two subordinates were not to be trifled with either. They also picked up their beer bottles and counterattacked.
The scene was chaotic.
Although the gangster’s two subordinates were brave, they were ultimately outnumbered.
Soon, he was covered in blood.
[Yes, I’m that Great] picked up an empty beer bottle and once again smashed it on the gangster’s head.
Immediately after, he heard a scream that shouted, “Someone died”.
As for who shouted it, [Yes, I’m that Great] that he didn’t hear it clearly.
When he returned to his senses, the gangster had fallen to the ground and could not get up.
“Dr. Chen, you’re not telling us that the gangster was pretending to be dead, are you?”
“Gangster: Did you think I wouldn’t chicken out?”
“According to what Dr. Chen said, that’s what happened. He held his breath and
pretended to be dead.”
“That means this guy isn’t a murderer at all…”
“What the fuck! That gangster is full of tricks!”
While [Yes, I’m that Great] reminisced about the past, the viewers had already started to analyze and speculate.
“I… I…”
[Yes, I’m that Great] opened his mouth to say something, but he didn’t know what to say.
After Chen Yu said that the gangster had fallen to the ground and was pretending to be dead, he blanked out.
His twelve years of being on the run felt like a dream.
No, it was a nightmare.
“Sigh.”
“Think about it carefully.” Chen Yu sighed softly and said, “After you guys started fighting, did anyone nearby watch?”
“Weren’t the waiters hiding far away?”
“It… It seems so.”
Just like that, [Yes, I’m that Great] frowned and recalled the scene back then.
After everyone started fighting, the surrounding customers quickly ran away.
There were no onlookers.
“Could it be that the gangster himself called out that he was killed?”
“Did he really deliberately hold his breath to create the illusion that I killed him?”
[Yes, I’m that Great] looked at Chen Yu blankly.
“Yes. Also, he didn’t choose to call the police, nor did he choose to cause trouble for you after the incident.” Chen Yu nodded.
“In other words, he has to admit defeat.”
It was like someone had hit [Yes, I’m that Greatps acupuncture point.
His mouth was agape in shock, and his brain crashed.
It was already unexpected enough that the gangster, who had his head slammed by a beer bottle back then, did not die.
Now, Chen Yu was saying that the gangster had quietly suppressed this matter. It was simply inconceivable to him.
Anyone would demand an explanation when they were beaten up, not to mention a gangster.
“Is it possible that the gangster was afraid of being beaten to death by these hotheads, so he deliberately pretended to be dead?”
“Even so, why didn’t you take revenge after the incident? Don’t say that these people in a gang know how to respect the old and love the young. They don’t care about that.”
“Could it be that this gangster doesn’t dare enter a police station as he has a criminal record?”
“Brother, use your brain before you speak in the future. He is the gangster and has many subordinates.”
“After being beaten up, there’s no way he would admit defeat. What kind of gangster is this? Do you think he doesn’t care about his reputation?”
The chat sent overwhelming comments, as they could not understand why the gangster did not take revenge after the incident.
Reading one of the comments, Chen Yu revealed a faint smile.
“Everyone, stop guessing. I’ll answer the questions that you and this patient don’t understand one by one.”
Hearing this, the number of comments began to decrease rapidly.
They feared that they would miss some important content while typing comments.
Even the dumbstruck [Yes, I’m that Great] began to perk up.
They awaited Chen Yu’s answer.
“I’m sure everyone is curious as to why the gangster, a person of status, would deliberately play dead.”
“The answer is very simple. It’s because he’s afraid of death.”
“There’s a saying among the people that goes, the older you get, the less courage you have.”
“The gangster came out to challenge the world at the age of sixteen. When he was young, he was also a fierce person who dared to fight and kill. He had faced death many times.”
“He made a name for himself in the local area with a fierce battle.”
“The more wealth and power he has, the less courage he has.”
“I’m sure many of you feel this way, right?”
Chen Yu asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, many successful viewers sent comments in agreement.
When they were young, they had nothing. They didn’t care about gains and losses.
They would make a huge profit if they won, but if they lost, they wouldn’t have anything to risk.
However, once one had a certain status and identity, they had to be careful no matter what they did.
“As the saying goes, the soft ones are afraid of the hard ones, the hard ones are afraid of the reckless ones, and the reckless ones are afraid of the crazy ones.” “This patient and his friends are genuine hotheads.”
“Once their eyes turn red, they don’t know fear.”
“They are not afraid, but the gangster was.”
“He had two old brothers who were accidentally killed by young hotheads.” “The gangster and his men only have three people, but [Yes, I’m that Great] had seven.”
“He definitely couldn’t fight them head-on. Plus, the gangster was dizzy from getting his head smashed by a beer bottle, so he didn’t have the ability to escape.”
“In this situation, he can only pretend to be dead.”
Chen Yu seemed to have personally experienced this event, as he smoothly narrated what happened.
The gangster knew very well that after his two subordinates were crippled, it would be his turn next.
First, he shouted at the top of his lungs that someone was killed, then he lay on the ground and pretended to be dead.
He relied on the experience he had gained from participating in armed combat when he was young.
This gangster pretended to be dead as best he could.
What happened next was exactly what the gangster had expected.
Thinking that he had really been beaten to death, the few hotheads ran away. As the leader of hundreds of underlings, he pretended to be dead to survive.
If this matter were to spread, he would immediately become the laughingstock of the entire city.
Whether it was revenge on the surface or in secret, there was no guarantee that the news would not be leaked.
“There are a total of seven people who beat him up,” Chen Yu said with a faint smile. “It’s impossible for this gangster to silence all of them, right?”
“Plus, at that time, he felt that the police were already watching him. He didn’t dare to do anything big.”
“Since he’s decided to swallow this anger, he swallowed it with broken teeth.”
“Even when the patrol car arrived at the scene, he didn’t tell the truth.”
After glancing at [Yes, I’m that Great], Chen Yu tapped his temple.
“Dear patient, you’ve been living in your own imagination during the twelve years you’ve been on the run.”
“This caused you to suffer from serious delusions.”
“One of the typical characteristics of having delusions is sensitivity and paranoia.”
“You firmly believe that your guess is absolutely correct.”
“For example, you told me something before, which is completely opposite to your guess..”
