Chen Li's group arrived abruptly, disrupting Wan Yunting and Nie Xiaoyu, who were blaming themselves for failing to rescue the villagers in time.
Seeing Chen Li's group using the deceased villagers in the pit for live broadcasting, attracting over a hundred thousand viewers across two live streams, turned Wan Yunting and Nie Xiaoyu's sorrow into instant rage.
"Oh my god, they actually dug them out...!"
"So scary, buried by a mudslide...!"
"Why aren't they rescuing them yet...?"
Netizens in the live streams left comments. Seeing the villagers in the pit, with their lower bodies still unexcavated, Chen Li, holding a phone and watching the comments, shouted, "Sweethearts, don't worry, we'll dig out the villagers right away. This is also thanks to Brother Shan and his team, who are cooperating with the soldiers to dig out this villager."
"New viewers joining the live stream, if you wish to donate, you can add our charity organization's WeChat on our homepage, provide your personal information, and transfer your donation. We will record your information and the donation amount, and then donate it all to the disaster area."
"Brother Shan, hurry up, dig a few shovelfuls for everyone to see..."
Chen Li then turned and whispered to urge Brother Shan. He nodded and quickly grabbed a shovel and climbed into the pit, deliberately digging a few times.
"Sweethearts, look quickly, our rescue team's Brother Shan is saving someone..." Chen Li shouted loudly at the cameras of both phones.
Their sudden actions completely ignored Wan Yunting, Gu Luotang, and others on one side, as well as Nie Xiaoyu, Gu Xiaozhuang, and a group of military officers and soldiers on the other. They were entirely focused on their live broadcast, not even realizing that the villagers in the pit were already dead.
As a result, they continued their nonsensical chatter in the live stream. Especially Brother Shan, who was holding a shovel and randomly digging in the pit, with Wan Yunting standing right beside him. Wan Yunting's expression was terrifyingly grim, and he watched everything with cold eyes.
"Hey, is he still alive?"
Brother Shan seemed to notice something was wrong with the villager, and he whispered to Wan Yunting, "Is he still alive?"
Wan Yunting, with a somber face, said coldly, "He's already dead!"
"Ah, dead..."
This scared Brother Shan so much that he dropped his shovel, his face filled with panic and bewilderment, and he turned to scramble out of the pit.
Chen Li and her companions were also stunned. Their eyes showed fear as they looked at the villager's corpse lying in the pit. The man holding the phone quickly disconnected the internet for both live streams.
"So unlucky, let's get out of here..."
Sensing from the icy gazes of Wan Yunting and Nie Xiaoyu that this was not a place to linger, Chen Li immediately tugged at Brother Shan and the others to leave.
"Stop!"
However, Wan Yunting called out to them coldly, causing Chen Li and her group to tremble. For some reason, they involuntarily stopped in their tracks.
"You said you're from the 'Caring Public Welfare Charity' rescue team?"
Wan Yunting jumped out of the pit, walked over, and swept his cold gaze across Chen Li and Brother Shan's group, asking in a chilling voice.
Facing Wan Yunting, Chen Li and Brother Shan felt an inexplicable pressure, causing them to exchange flustered glances.
Then, Chen Li's eyes widened, and she shouted at Wan Yunting, "Yes, we are a rescue team organized by the 'Caring Public Welfare Charity.' Is there a problem?"
"Alright, don't leave yet. I'll make a call to verify your identity!"
Wan Yunting nodded, pointed at them with his finger, and turned to take out his phone to call Han Shumei, asking if she knew anyone from the 'Caring Public Welfare Charity' to verify Chen Li's identity.
Upon hearing this, Chen Li's heart immediately panicked and she shouted, "Hey, who are you, why can't you let..."
"You shut up!"
The next second, Wan Yunting turned around, pointed at Chen Li, and yelled angrily, causing her to freeze instantly. She stared blankly at Wan Yunting's cold gaze, making Chen Li, Brother Shan, and the others instantly feel a chilling sensation, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their bodies turning cold and goosebumps rising.
Chen Li opened her mouth. Facing Wan Yunting's chilling, bone-piercing gaze, her heart filled with fear, and her lips trembled. She couldn't utter a single word.
"Killing intent!"
Nie Xiaoyu, standing behind them, also sensed the change in Wan Yunting's demeanor at this moment, causing her and Gu Xiaozhuang's expressions to change drastically.
They were soldiers. Nie Xiaoyu and Gu Xiaozhuang had been to the battlefield and killed enemies. They knew that only those who had killed possessed terrifying killing intent!
For a moment, Nie Xiaoyu's eyes were fixed on Wan Yunting, and she began to doubt his identity!
"Yunting..."
Just then, Wan Yunting's call to Han Shumei connected. He asked, "Sister Han, where are you now?"
"I'm in Baishi collecting disaster relief supplies."
Han Shumei, who was in Baishi at the moment, asked, "Yunting, have you reached the disaster area?"
"Yes, I've arrived at the disaster area."
Wan Yunting replied and then asked, "Sister Han, do you know the 'Caring Public Welfare Charity'?"
"Yes, I do. It's the 'Caring Public Welfare Charity' from our Hua Du City."
Han Shumei said, "This time I came for disaster relief, I'm cooperating with the 'Caring Public Welfare Charity' to purchase a batch of relief supplies for the disaster-stricken areas."
"I see."
Wan Yunting turned and cast a cold glance at Chen Li's group behind him, then asked, "Then, Sister Han, do you know the person in charge of the 'Caring Public Welfare Charity'?"
"Of course, she's right here with me."
Han Shumei said, and then curiously asked, "Yunting, why are you asking about this all of a sudden?"
"Sister Han, could you ask their person in charge if the 'Caring Public Welfare Charity' has organized a rescue team to do live broadcasts in the disaster area and solicit donations from netizens!" Wan Yunting said directly without explaining to Han Shumei.
Han Shumei was taken aback. She said "Okay," then turned and called out to a middle-aged woman, "Lan Jie, come here for a moment."
The woman named Lin Xinlan was precisely the person in charge of the 'Caring Public Welfare Charity' in Hua Du City. Hearing Han Shumei call, she went over and asked, "Shumei, what is it?"
"I'm asking you, have you assembled a rescue team to go to the disaster area for live broadcasting and solicit donations from netizens?" Han Shumei asked Lin Xinlan directly as Wan Yunting had instructed.
"No."
Lin Xinlan looked bewildered, shook her head, and said, "Our assembled rescue teams are all here. Besides, how could we possibly do live broadcasts in the disaster area and solicit donations? Our charity organizations have their own donation channels. We would never do live broadcasts to solicit donations from netizens."
"I understand."
Han Shumei nodded and said to Wan Yunting on the phone, "Yunting, the 'Caring Public Welfare Charity' does not have a rescue team in the disaster area. We are all in Baishi raising funds for relief supplies. We need to wait until tomorrow to clear the rescue channels before we can reach the disaster area."
"Okay, I understand. That's all for now, Sister Han. I'll call you back later."
Hearing this, Wan Yunting's face darkened even further. After hanging up the phone with Han Shumei, he turned to look at Chen Li's group, his eyes even more piercingly cold. He angrily roared, "You bunch of heartless scoundrels who have let your conscience be eaten by dogs! You dare to come to the disaster area to do live streaming for show, and even deceive netizens into donating to you. What audacious nerve you have!"
As soon as he said this, Chen Li and Brother Shan's group trembled and began to panic.
Nie Xiaoyu, Gu Xiaozhuang, and the other soldiers behind them, as well as Song Sinan, Gu Luotang, Qi Miaomiao, and Huang Jingshan, upon hearing Wan Yunting's words, all became enraged, "Good, so they are fake."
"Quick, quick, turn on the live broadcast..."
Chen Li, having reacted, immediately told her companion to turn on the live streams of the two phones.
Since the network was disconnected and the live streams were closed earlier, many viewers had already left. However, there were still netizens in the live stream. As soon as the live stream was opened, netizens began typing questions about what was happening.
"Sweethearts, look quickly..."
Chen Li immediately directed her companion to point the cameras of the two phones at Wan Yunting and shouted, "It's this person, he says our 'Caring Public Welfare Charity' is putting on a show. And he's not letting us leave. Sweethearts, please judge for yourselves..."
