Chapter 541 Reality is always more fantastical than fiction! (Seeking monthly votes)

Ye Xian was a little confused when he heard the question. He didn't expect Shen Wen to suddenly ask him about it. He looked at Qiu Qing in the audience and saw her encouraging expression. After thinking about it, he decided to talk to everyone about it.

"Okay, because this matter involves Mu Zi's privacy, I have never given a direct response, even though I am also one of the victims."

Ye Xian looked up at the lights on the ceiling of the hall, a flash of memory in his eyes: "That day was Qiu Qing's birthday. We chose to go scuba diving to celebrate her birthday. In my opinion, scuba diving is a rather romantic thing, but I never thought that someone would use scuba diving as a murder weapon."

Ye Xian's words silenced the more than 800 audience members present, who seemed to feel the overwhelming sense of terror.

Mu Zi gripped the chair armrests even tighter, and her best friends Liu Bing and Shen Wen quickly stepped forward to put their arms around her. She whispered a thank you.

The comments in the live stream became scarce at this moment, as everyone seemed to be holding their breath, waiting for Ye Xian to recreate that terrifying scene.

"The seabed is silent and beautiful. Under the midday sun, you can see many beautiful sights that you can't usually see. But when I saw a body twisting wildly in the distance, to be honest, I was a little stunned. I didn't expect that what I saw was evil."

Ye Xian glanced apologetically at Mu Zi, then continued, "But I didn't hesitate much and instinctively called Qiu Qing to swim over together. When I found that Mu Zi's oxygen tube had broken and she was already drowning, I didn't hesitate for long. I put my own oxygen mask on her and snorkeled with her."

Ye Xian didn't elaborate much on saving people; talking too much about such things would only make people think he was showing off.

In fact, many people don't think much when they act bravely; they just rush in when they see something and only feel fear afterward, or they may wonder if what they did was right or wrong.

It's an instinct.

If she had given herself a few more minutes to think, Mu Zi would probably have drowned instantly!

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause, a testament to Ye Xian's selfless act of saving a life and a gesture of gratitude.

The viewers in the live stream also realized this, and many people gave Ye Xian a thumbs up.

Mu Zi stood up excitedly and bowed repeatedly to Ye Xian to express her gratitude. She was once again moved to tears.

Ye Xian quickly stepped forward to help her up, and Liu Bing and Shen Wen also pulled her back to sit down.

"After we got ashore, I saw the man calling her anxiously. I thought it was an accident and I was happy at the time. But I never expected that it was not an accident, but a premeditated murder. When Mu Zi told me, trembling, that the man was going to kill her, I panicked a little."

For the first time in my life, I felt murder, crime, and killers were so close to me. I'm just an ordinary person, and I felt my hands and feet were cold. When I picked up the satellite phone and pressed the buttons, my hands were trembling, and I almost pressed the wrong button several times.

Listening to Ye Xian's story, many people felt as if they were there themselves.

Even keyboard warriors wouldn't dare say they could remain calm and collected when facing a murderer, nor could they be as composed as depicted in novels, unmoved by a collapsing mountain or a frightened deer.

The only person capable of that is a show-off.

Some people already knew what happened through Mu Zi's statement, but this was the first time they had heard Ye Xian's perspective as the rescuer, which made them feel the urgency and terror of the situation even more.

As Ye Xian recounted his story, the fans in the live stream began to feel indignant.

[That murderer even pretended to care about Mu Zi, constantly getting closer to Ye Xian and the other two. Such a person could never have committed a crime of passion; it was definitely premeditated, and his cunning is terrifying! Why wasn't he sentenced to death?]

[He pretended to care for his wife while committing murder, and after being exposed, he harbored malicious intentions again, showing absolutely no remorse! Most importantly, Mu Zi was pregnant. Even tigers don't eat their cubs; he's more ruthless than a tiger! I strongly support the death penalty!]

[Some people are just as despicable as animals. I heard this man had many girlfriends before, but when he found they couldn't help him pay off his gambling debts, he dumped them. Recently, many girls have come forward to talk about this.]

So, this is a pig butchering scam? Wow, reality is always more surreal than fiction!

……

"When faced with the knife he swung at me, I was just as terrified as an ordinary person. I instinctively raised my hand to block, but in my heart I was screaming: 'It's over, it's over, that's a knife, my hand is probably going to be cut off, will it hurt a lot, will I be able to play the guitar again?'"

This was Ye Xian's most down-to-earth remark from beginning to end. It sounded somewhat funny, but no one in the audience could laugh.

Yes, what comes to mind when someone swings a knife at you?

In that split second, all I could think about was the pain I was about to face and the tragic future after losing a hand.

Many people then realized that Ye Xian was just an ordinary person, and that his reaction to danger was exactly the same as that of an ordinary person.

Ye Xian's gaze was filled with memories, as well as a touch of sweetness and gratitude. He looked at Qiu Qing with deep affection: "Fortunately, I had a female knight by my side. Her timely intervention saved me from disaster."

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause once again, this time for Qiu Qing. Everyone knew that Qiu Qing had saved Ye Xian and Mu Zi with her two kicks, preventing them from suffering further harm.

This story is completely opposite to the fairy tales I read as a child. It was the princess who saved the prince; the prince was actually the weakest.

[Perhaps this is why Brother Xian chose his childhood sweetheart instead of someone else? This strong sense of security allows this 1.85-meter-tall man like Brother Xian to live a worry-free life for the rest of his days! But if you're just telling a story, why do you have to throw in some PDA?]

[Are you sure it wasn't because Brother Xian was afraid his childhood sweetheart would beat him up that he was forced to choose her? Brother Xian, if you were coerced, please blink.]

[That's why I fell in love with the landlady! Xian saved Mu Zi, and the landlady saved both Xian and Mu Zi. Good deeds will surely be rewarded!]

……

After a pause, Ye Xian concluded, "There is good and evil in the world. We may not be able to resist evil; perhaps all we can do is be more careful in everything we do. But we cannot throw the baby out with the bathwater and forget that there is good in the world. After all, beauty only exists where there is good!"
