Chapter 49: A complete mess.
"Xiao Yao?" Wu Shiyu was taken aback. "Didn't Uncle say she ran away from home? How come she went to participate in a TV show?"
Wu Zhao had anticipated that this would happen.
She found it somewhat amusing and said, "Isn't she a fan of Shen Jiaojiao? Xie Buji can bribe his way into the show, so naturally she can too."
"This show is getting more and more interesting. Do you have any photos of the other guests who have participated in the show that I can see?"
Huo Tingchen glanced at the list again and said, "Yes, besides the wilderness survival aspect, the show's appeal also lies in the family team format. In addition to Shen Jiaojiao and Shen Zhuo, there's a veteran actor and his daughter. There's also a pair of sisters from the national synchronized swimming team, Xie Buji and Wu Nini, who are participating in the show as temporary siblings."
"The two of them are considered a non-celebrity pairing on the show, which is one of the highlights."
As he spoke, he took out photos of these people from his phone and showed them to Wu Zhao.
Interesting, Wu Zhao thought, scrutinizing the person in the photo.
"Father and daughter, sisters, fake siblings and temporary siblings...it's quite interesting. It seems like they're only missing a couple. Didn't the production team invite them?" Wu Zhao asked.
Huo Tingchen was also a little puzzled. He said, "There were couples on the show in previous years, but I don't know why there aren't any this year."
"Does the director intend to suddenly introduce a married couple right before the show starts?"
He probably never imagined that his casual remark would become a self-fulfilling prophecy on the day of the show...
……
One week later, in Fengcheng.
Luohe Town.
The undeveloped mountain that the Gu family bought is called Luoshan Mountain, and there is a very clear river on the mountain that people call the Luo River.
The village at the foot of Luoshan Mountain is Luohe Town.
Although the mountains are barren and have some strange legends, the town itself has nice scenery and is now considered a tourist attraction.
A bus bearing the logo of "Let's Go on an Adventure" is parked in the town square.
Many fans holding light sticks were already excitedly waiting around the square.
After waiting for a while, the bus doors opened.
The first to get off the bus were a pair of beautiful young women who looked exactly alike and were dressed identically.
The sisters' tall stature and slender limbs make them particularly eye-catching.
"Ahhh, it's Xiaoxiao and Miaomiao!"
"Xiaoxiao, Miaomiao!"
"Here here!"
Fans screamed and waved their light sticks.
The twins greeted and responded to the fans around them with smiles, creating a very friendly atmosphere.
Next to get off the bus were an arrogant man with a head of eye-catching red hair and a short, pretty girl.
The two seemed to be at odds, and no one around them called out their names.
The two rolled their eyes and walked away without exchanging a word.
Then a tall man got off the bus carrying a five or six-year-old child.
"Actor Luo! Look here!"
"Ahhh, my idol! Look at me, my baby is so cute too!"
The handsome and refined man wore a faint smile and occasionally chatted with the child in his arms.
Finally, a man and a woman got off the bus one after the other, and the screams reached their climax.
"Jiaojiao—Zhuoshen!—"
"Ahhh, baby, look at me—"
"Husband, husband—"
The situation was out of control for a while.
Sitting in his car not far away, listening to the fans' screams, Wu Zhao couldn't help but say, "These young girls are really shameless..."
The old-fashioned sorcerer still didn't quite understand why the people here were so crazy.
Gu Chen, sitting next to her, replied, "Most of them are just for emotional support. Many children like a celebrity today, but may change their minds tomorrow. So, these titles are naturally meaningless."
"That works? If I had done that back then, I would have been accused of starting something and then abandoning it!" Wu Zhao blurted out.
She paused for a moment, then added, "Things aren't this avant-garde in the countryside..."
Gu Chen, sitting beside him, tightened his grip slightly on his lap, and murmured softly, "You said it yourself, you started something and then abandoned it..."
"Huh? What did you say?" Wu Zhao, who was still observing the fans, didn't hear what Gu Chen said clearly.
"Nothing, do you want to see Xie Buji now?" Gu Chen changed the subject. "Zi Yao."
The young man in the driver's seat immediately said, "Should I send someone to bring him over?"
Wu Zhao couldn't see what the scene surrounded by the crowd looked like, but she could see black yin energy and red blood energy rising from there.
"Hmm... if you ask me, the show you invested in is very likely to lose money."
Gu Chen turned to look at her, "Will something happen?"
"Most likely," Wu Zhao replied.
This yin energy must be from Shen Jiaojiao, but who brought the blood energy?
Judging by this level of vitality... he's probably carrying a dead body.
After turning the ring on his finger, Wu Zhao suddenly reached out and grabbed Gu Chen's hand.
"Do you want me to do a fortune telling, or just ask me to solve the problems with the production team?" Wu Zhao casually shook Gu Chen's hand up and down.
Gu Chen's lips twitched as he looked at Wu Zhao, who was pretending to shake hands with him.
“…Okay,” he replied.
hiss--
Upon witnessing the interaction between the two for the first time, Zi Yao's breathing became erratic, and he quickly averted his gaze from the rearview mirror.
I couldn't help but scream in my heart: Qingyao was right! The Gu family really is going to have a matriarch!
"Let's meet the director before meeting Xie Buji." Wu Zhao released Gu Chen's hand and pressed the gem on his ring.
A black shadow flashed out of the ring and quickly emerged from the car, heading towards the production crew's location.
Wu Zhao's face immediately fell.
She sighed inwardly: Sure enough, before the meridians are fully repaired, once the summoning is completed, the person will lose all spiritual power and become an ordinary person...
Gu Chen naturally noticed that her breathing was disordered.
“It’s too late today, we can meet the director tomorrow,” he said. “Ziyao, let’s go back to the hotel first.”
Zi Yao immediately responded, "Yes, Master. The film crew is staying at the same hotel in town as us. If you need anything, you can contact them at the hotel."
"Then tonight—"
Before Wu Zhao could finish speaking, Gu Chen ruthlessly interrupted him, saying, "I said get some rest tonight."
His voice was cold and detached, leaving no room for argument.
Despite still having that exceptionally handsome face, Wu Zhao immediately sensed that Gu Chen seemed angry.
Then, somewhat guiltily, she said, "Well, okay then..."
Why does it seem like Gu Chen, who is angry, is a little hesitant to refute?
The black luxury sedan drove away quietly.
Soon before nightfall, the film crew and guests checked into the best hotel in town.
In the buffet restaurant on the second floor, Wu Zhao unsurprisingly ran into the guests who were dining with him.
The young girl ran excitedly into the restaurant and bumped into Gu Chen's wheelchair, falling backward onto the carpet.
The wheelchair was pushed back two steps by the force and bumped right into the director who had heard the noise from inside the restaurant.
After two muffled thuds, the girl's sharp cry and the man's groans rang out almost simultaneously.
Amidst the chaos, Wu Zhao saw a man covered in red light tenderly pick up a little girl, while on the other side, the crew members quickly helped up the director, who was emanating black energy.
Amidst the stark contrast of black and red at the scene, Wu Zhao suddenly felt an urge to hoist Gu Chen up and leave...
