Huo Yingcheng wasn’t the only one who noticed this.
Behind, Chairman Song and Nian Chusheng also noticed.
Their countenances changed instantly…
Regardless of how much they wished to keep calm, they had difficulty doing so.
Chairman Song said with gritted teeth, “Yin Ruoyi is in danger.”
He didn’t know why Yin Ruoyi would choose such a place. Likely it was because he thought it was secluded enough, but unexpectedly Cruff still managed to discover this place.
Nian Chusheng furrowed his brows tightly as he watched the screen.
At present, the China team had 24 points, and because Cruff had obtained another two points, the US team had a total of 18 points.
Among those 18 points, Cruff single-handedly accounted for 14 points.
He had the same score as Gu Qingjiu, but because of the high points, Gu Qingjiu was ranked ahead of him.
It was an extremely tight match.
One could only imagine how brutal Cruff had been in his pursuit to catch up.
But if one were to calculate based on the most dangerous situation…
If Cruff eliminated Yin Ruoyi, Cruff would immediately obtain half of Yin Ruoyi’s score—which was five points.
And China would immediately have ten points deducted.
Even though Gu Qingjiu had 14 points as an individual, she would only manage to bring China to third place.
The current third place holder was Italy, with a total of 15 points!
This was something China didn’t wish to see happen.
But it didn’t matter how many times they played out the situation in their hearts.
All they could do was stay and watch.
Every single outcome they could imagine shared one thing in common.
That was, Cruff would eliminate Yin Ruoyi.
There was nothing they could do about it.
Cruff’s forte was his abilities to hide, and when hiding in a high spot, it was nearly impossible for anyone to detect his presence.
He only had to secretly fire one shot, and Yin Ruoyi wouldn’t be able to dodge from it even if he wanted to.
Because it was obvious that he had lost his edge due to the effects of the venom.
The numbness in his left arm slightly affected his head. The fact that Yin Ruoyi managed to hold it out until now and even managed to eliminate one player was considered a miracle.
Many foreigners had a heightened opinion of him because of this.
But with him in such a state, he definitely wouldn’t be able to deal with Cruff.
At that moment, they pinned all their hopes on Gu Qingjiu.
However, what would Gu Qingjiu do?
She would only reach Yin Ruoyi after Cruff did, and by then, it would have been too late.
And even if Gu Qingjiu saw Yin Ruoyi at the same time, would she be able to discover Cruff?
If she did, she would alert Yin Ruoyi, then Cruff would also fire a shot instantaneously.
She couldn’t speak as quickly as the speed at which Cruff fired a shot.
That’s it, they’re finished. Chairman Song and Nian Chusheng both wore terrible countenances.
The only thing they had to be thankful for, was probably that they had held back the thoughts of informing the higher-ups of good news in advance.
Thank god they hadn’t done that.
It would put them in an extremely awkward situation if they did.
No idea if most of the audience had noticed this scene.
On the screen in the viewing room, Yin Ruoyi, Gu Qingjiu, and Cruff’s situations were displayed in three individual scenes.
The real-time transmission had the effect of getting the audience worked up.
One could feel their adrenaline surging.
Quite a few officials who saw this scene were letting out gasps.
“My goodness. This China player is in danger.”
“Oh my god. Chameleon Cruff is about to shoot this little poor thing from China.”
“It seems like this female player is powerless to turn things around. Could it be that China will fail to break the curse of ranking second for the nth time?”
“After this competition ends, can Cruff retire in glory after winning the champion three consecutive times? Is he the second Sheng Ming?”
