Chapter 131

Just a few days ago, he had dreamed of standing on this stage... but now, it had actually happened?!

"That's not how I imagined it."

Murray joked with Su Chen to liven up the atmosphere, drawing even more laughter from the audience.

Subsequently, Murray steered the topic toward Su Chen's attire.

"Can you tell us about this outfit of yours?"

"When we spoke earlier, you said your attire wasn't meant to express a political stance, right?"

Murray intentionally guided the conversation, wanting Su Chen to personally dismiss the potential risks associated with the Joker costume.

"That's right, Murray. I don't care about politics; I just want to make people laugh."

Before Su Chen could finish his sentence, Murray interrupted him.

"How do you think you're doing?"

The implication behind his words was very clear: he was mocking the performance of Su Chen's first show.

He used the mockery of Su Chen as fodder for the show's humor.

As soon as Murray spoke, the entire room erupted in laughter.

Su Chen's expression remained calm, and then he abruptly joined in with a laugh that felt fake to the bone.

"Hahahahahaaha!!"

The harsh, shrill Joker laugh made the two guests beside him frown slightly.

Murray, however, waited for Su Chen to calm down before getting straight to the point; he couldn't wait to see Su Chen look embarrassed!

"It's okay, I know you're a comedian. Any new bits lately? Do you want to tell everyone a joke?"

Instantly, the room burst into thunderous applause.

This was the kind of show effect everyone wanted to see!

No one was genuinely looking forward to Su Chen telling a joke; they just wanted to be like Murray and watch Su Chen make a fool of himself in public again!

Everyone present just wanted to humiliate Su Chen once more!

"Want to hear one?"

Su Chen seemed not to understand the mockery in the words of the audience and Murray.

He pulled a notebook from his pants pocket.

"He even brought a notebook? A joke book?"

Murray's mocking voice rang out incessantly.

Su Chen, as if he hadn't heard, flipped through the notebook.

When he saw the line, 'I only hope my death makes more cents than my life,' Su Chen fell silent for a long time.

It was as if he were making a final decision, his gaze calm as water.

However, Murray continued to rudely interrupt Su Chen, urging him on:

"No rush, we have the whole night!"

?????????????????????

Accompanied by the tidal wave of mockery from the audience, Su Chen turned his head, his expression unreadable.

Murray's rudeness seemed to be the final straw; after this sentence, Su Chen finally made his choice in his heart! And he had completely sealed the fate that belonged to Murray!

He smiled indifferently and flipped through a few more pages.

"Okay, I found one."

"Knock, knock..."

Su Chen looked at the notebook, simulating the sound of knocking on a door.

And in the originally rehearsed plan... after this knock, it was the segment where Su Chen would end his own life!

Hearing this opening.

Every audience member's heart tightened.

This joke was the signal that Su Chen was going to commit suicide!!

But no one expected... that it would come so soon!

【What's going on... the show just started, and Arthur is already planning to...】

【Too fast!!】

【And that host, he's disgusting! Always interrupting others over and over!】

【Although I don't understand the punchline of this joke... shooting himself on a stage like this might really garner a lot of attention!】

【But don't you find it tragic... having his life ended while being watched by a group of people who have always mocked him.】

【Yeah, I'm afraid he'll be mocked in public even after he ends it!】

【I don't want this ending!!】

【I hope Arthur can change his mind... please... a stage like this isn't worth your attachment!】

The surge of comments reflected the audience's reluctance to see him go.

A story like this deserved a better ending! A proper beginning and a proper end!

Not a hasty conclusion on a stage like this!

This stage, although it was the place Su Chen had always longed to reach.

It was absolutely worlds apart from what Su Chen had imagined!

The host here, Murray, didn't deserve to be Su Chen's idol at all!

He repeatedly played Su Chen's performance videos in public to mock him, showed no respect for others, and was even more unscrupulous for the sake of traffic and profit! He was simply scum!

And the audience on this stage was even worse; for the sake of their own amusement, they ignored others' sadness and suffering, wantonly mocking Su Chen!

This talk show stage was completely unworthy of being Su Chen's final resting place!

And just as the viewers in the live stream said.

Murray's rudeness and contempt for the lower class were deeply ingrained in his bones.

Just after Su Chen said the three onomatopoeic words 'knock, knock, knock'!

He rudely interrupted again.

"You have to flip through a book for this too?"

Murray's face wore a sneer, undoubtedly mocking Su Chen for needing to flip through a book for such a basic joke.

A wave of uncontrollable laughter and applause erupted from the audience.

Humiliating Su Chen.

Had undoubtedly become the main theme of the show, bringing perfect show effects that everyone clearly loved.

And although Su Chen's expression grew a bit heavier, he still endured it and continued to repeat:

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Who's there?"

"It's the police, ma'am. Your son was hit by a drunk driver, he's dead!"

At this point, Su Chen couldn't help but chuckle, clearly amused by his own punchline.

To him, this joke was very funny.

But the scene was suddenly filled with boos. Murray also sternly stopped Su Chen from continuing.

"You can't joke about that! That's not funny, Arthur!"

"Alright, I'm sorry."

Su Chen nodded, a look of sadness inevitably appearing on his face, clearly feeling down because his joke had been rejected by others.

At this moment, even his jokes were not allowed.

It seemed that all the reasons Su Chen had for coming to this stage had been denied, so there was nothing left to be attached to.

Facing all the audience and the cameras, Su Chen suddenly spoke up:

"It's just... I've had a really hard few weeks... Murray."

"Ever since I... killed those Wall Street elites..."

Instantly!

As Su Chen's words fell.

The entire scene fell into dead silence!

No one expected that Su Chen would drop such a bombshell at this moment?!
