“These shows…” Xu Mingzhi said after Du Meilan finished her call, “if Pei Huai didn’t go to protect my daughter, he wouldn’t have gotten hurt.”
Du Meilan said, “don’t say that, in-law. It’s good that he went. He’s a man, and it’s only right for him to protect her.”
“Where are you going, Su Ji?”
Sonya’s voice came from the TV, and the two ladies looked over at the same time.
Xu Mingzhi narrowed her eyes slightly. “I never liked this person.”
Du Meilan looked at her. “Do you still remember what I mentioned before? My eldest son’s ex-wife?”
Xu Mingzhi vaguely remembered it. She heard Du Meilan mention it when she went to the Pei family on New Year’s Eve. At that time, she did not say anything and only shook her head. It was obvious that she was not very satisfied with her ex-daughter-in-law.
Du Meilan pointed to the TV. “It’s her.” Xu Mingzhi was silent for a second.
Xingxing was so cute and he was her child?
“Do you suspect her?” Du Meilan shook her head. “I don’t think so. Although I don’t like her, I’ve met her once before. She’s not that vicious.”
“People change…”
In terms of judging a person’s character, no one was more perceptive than Xu Mingzhi. Even Su Ji admired her.
Du Meilan’s expression turned cold.
In less than half an hour, Li Fang came into Duan Shengquan’s office again.
“Director Duan, phone…”
“Who is it? I’m not picking it up!” Duan Shengquan rebelled. Unexpectedly, Li Fang said with trepidation, “it’s the chief!”
Duan Shengquan’s expression changed drastically!
It actually alerted the chief?
The call lasted for twenty minutes. When it ended, Duan Shengquan’s face was pale like a ghost.
In the past, he was only afraid of receiving calls from two people. One was his wife, and the other was the chief.
But now, there was another one. It was Su Ji’s mother, CEO Xu.
Duan Shengquan sent Li Fang away, closed the door, and called Old Zhou, who was overseas.
This time, his tone was a little stern. “Old Zhou, I thought you knew the limits. Why didn’t you go look for those who went missing last night? Now that the entire Internet knows that CEO Pei’s arm is seriously injured, how am I supposed to explain it? The chief scolded me so badly just now!”
On the other end of the phone, Old Zhou asked curiously, “the viewership has broken records since last night. Why would he scold you?”
Duan Shengquan was extremely worried. “The Pei family is putting pressure on him! They don’t care about viewership!”
“Ah…” Old Zhou sighed and apologized. “I didn’t think it through…it’s my fault.”
Duan Shengquan could not say anything else when he heard how sincere he sounded. “There’s no point in saying anything else. CEO Pei is different from ordinary guests. You have to take extra care of him. By the way, you have to pay attention to his injuries. If anything happens, send him to the hospital quickly.
Don’t delay for even a moment!”
“Don’t worry. I won’t make any more mistakes, ” Old Zhou said.
“Wait!” Before hanging up, Duan Shengquan thought of something else. “The chief also mentioned an active volcano? There is a volcano on the island? Why didn’t they do any research before? What if the volcano really erupted?”
Old Zhou smiled. “Director Duan, you can’t completely believe what the guests say. Don’t look at how professional they seem on screen. It is part of the show. No matter how good they are, are they geologists? It’s true that there are volcanoes, but I’ve investigated them in advance. They haven’t erupted in the past hundred years, so there shouldn’t be any problems.”
“Didn’t you see how brutal those survival shows are? If we don’t add something interesting, how can we attract the netizens?”
What he said made sense. Duan Shengquan gave a few more instructions before hanging up.
Li Fang looked at him and entered the room to bring him tea. Duan Shengquan asked, “how’s the search for a new female guest?”
Li Fang put down her teacup and said awkwardly, “Director Duan… the show is so popular that many wanted to join, but after today’s livestream…”
? Duan Shengquan was anxious.
Li Fang said, “when they heard that there is a volcano on the island and that a guest was injured, they regretted their decision and did not dare to come…”
Duan Shengquan: “…”
“It’s already been a few days. We can’t delay this any longer.” He slammed the table. “Don’t waste your time on the famous celebrities. You can always find a newcomer who wants to be famous, right? Go to an art school to find someone. College students who pick money over their life are the easiest to fool!”
Li Fang said, “alright…”
Duan Shengquan looked at her shrewdly. “It’s okay if they are not famous, but they must have a memorable face!”
Li Fang said, “understood!”
At noon on the island, the two of them returned.
“How was it?” Nan Miaomiao was anxious to know the result. She stopped what she was doing and went over.
Pei Huai also walked over and noticed the big backpack in Wang Yi’s hand.
It was heavy.
Xiao Ken said, “it’s okay if you can’t find it. We’ll go with you guys after lunch!”
Casar also comforted them. “The shrubland is too big. It’s not easy to find them. Don’t be discouraged.”
Lu Shang said, “actually, there’s no need to go in just for that. We have to go to the shrubland every day to collect wood. We can look for them while doing
that. ”
Nan Miaomiao said, “don’t come up with nonsensical ideas. What if the traitor destroys the evidence when we’re not paying attention?”
Xiao Ken said, “Lu Shang is so protective of that person. I think you’re suspicious.”
Casar narrowed his eyes. “Could it be that Miaomiao did it and you want to protect her..”
When the others heard this, they all looked at Lu Shang.
Nan Miaomiao quickly looked away from him. “Heaven is my witness. I’m absolutely innocent! Roommate, I’ve always been very active in finding evidence!”
Su Ji glanced at her. “Indeed, you don’t have that kind of brain.”
Nan Miaomiao was initially very happy that her roommate believed her. Three seconds later, she reacted.
Her roommate seemed to be calling her stupid?
Lu Shang looked away from Nan Miaomiao and raised his hands as if he had admitted defeat. “I’ll go with you in the afternoon!”
Actually, he really did want to protect her.
It was not the first time Nan Miaomiao had gone against Su Ji, and she had done it right in front of him.
Therefore, he was also worried that it was Nan Miaomiao who did it.
However, judging from Nan Miaomiao’s reaction just now, it did not seem to be her.
However, there were only a few of them on the island, if it’s not her…who could it be?
Sonya stood in the crowd and pretended to be relaxed.
However, at this moment, Su Ji said calmly, “stop guessing blindly.. We’ve found the evidence…
