Chapter 740: A Most Glamorous Turnaround Victory!
No, that was impossible!
Cruff refused to accept this outcome.
He couldn’t calm down.
At this moment, a helicopter was hovering in the skies. It was here to fetch the eliminated Cruff.
The staff tossed a rope for him to climb up.
Cruff cast a resentful glance in Gu Qingjiu’s direction before climbing up, even though he couldn’t take it lying down.
Once he went up, he yelled at the international team staff. “Impossible. How could I possibly be eliminated? How could that shot I fired missed? China cheated. Is the international team going to turn a blind eye to that? Or have you been bribed by them?”
He couldn’t fathom why that bullet he fired at Yin Ruoyi had missed.
Knowing Cruff’s situation, the international team person, who was there to fetch him, initially wanted to explain.
But when he heard the accusation of them being bribed, he said angrily, “You will know why once you go to the viewing room! You can’t blame anyone for this. If you have to pin this on someone, it will be that perverse newbie from China this year. You shouldn’t feel aggrieved losing at her hands.”
“…”
Having participated in international competitions for so long…
This was Cruff’s first time—goddammit—hearing someone say things to him like you shouldn’t feel aggrieved losing at her hands.
Shouldn’t I feel aggrieved?
What f*cking nonsense is that?!
It was obvious China had cheated!!
However, no one was willing to pay any heed to the furious Cruff, because his words were too unpleasant to the ears.
He wasn’t at all willing to accept the fact that someone managed to eliminate him. Instead, he yelled and cussed at the people around him.
He even insulted the players from China.
There wasn’t even a bit of good grace in him.
In the viewing room.
They saw Gu Qingjiu calmly standing where she was after intercepting Cruff’s bullet, and merely ten-odd seconds later, she seemed to have some sort of a premonition. As for Cruff, due to not hearing any announcement over the ear mike, he couldn’t hold himself back from sticking out his head to look.
In the end, Gu Qingjiu’s bullet struck him instantly, and Cruff ended up receiving this bullet.
On the screen, Cruff’s dumbfounded face stunned everyone in the audience.
The US team’s score fell rapidly on the scoreboard.
As for the China team, their score went from 24 points to 36 points!!!
Because Gu Qingjiu had hit Cruff’s forehead, she obtained five points from that!
Add to half of Cruff’s accumulated points, she obtained 12 points, which made 36 points in total!
Gu Qingjiu’s score even hit a terrifying 26 points!
Apart from Sheng Ming’s 30 points back then, Gu Qingjiu very nearly broke the record!
Nian Chusheng didn’t even have the strength to cuss now.
He and Chairman Song were dumbfounded as they remained seated in their seats.
They felt light and breezy, as though they had ascended to heaven!
The audience erupted in cheers.
They weren’t cheering for the fact that the China team had won this competition, but for the fascinating performance, they just witnessed.
This most fascinating final shot made them feel that this was not a wasted trip!
Who could have imagined?
That this year’s international competition would be so unexpected.
It was full of twists and turns.
Towards the end, this newbie from the China team crushed the competition.
And completely shattered Cruff’s dreams of achieving three consecutive wins. Moreover, she had done so in the most brutal method possible.
After Cruff was eliminated, the US team fell to the bottom of the rankings.
This battle made the audience feel an exhilarating thrill.
Chairman Song nearly lost his soul. “This… Have we won?”
“We’ve won! We’ve won! Old Song, we’ve won!”
Nian Chusheng agitatedly held his shoulders, tears nearly bursting from his eyes. “It’s a solid win for us!”
Now that Gu Qingjiu had eliminated even Cruff, who else could stop her!
Moreover, the competition was about to end soon!
China won this match!
It was like watching one’s country climb up once again.
It was like an elderly man full of anticipation, finally seeing his wish come true.
After 12 years!
They wiped out the disgrace and, at long last, gloriously stood up once more having emerged from the trauma of the past years.
They had a most glamorous turnaround victory!
