Chapter 69 - 69 Exposure at the Hottest Time
69 Exposure at the Hottest Time
Lin Xi slowly opened her eyes and saw Chen Che under the light of the flashlight. The uneasiness in her heart instantly dissipated.
The two of them did not waste any time and immediately searched the room for clues.
At this moment, at the exit of the secret room.
The production team’s staff were already waiting outside. It had been an hour since everyone entered.
Because this event was a secret room, the VJs were waiting outside. They could see the performance of the couples through the big screen.
Now, it seemed that the most likely to win first place were Luo Yuelin, Li Wei from Team 5, and Lin Xi and Chen Che from Team 7.
There were naturally more people supporting Lin Xi and Chen Che in the live-stream because their interaction was too sweet.
Chen Che protected Lin Xi the entire time and held her hand everywhere. Although Lin Xi was very afraid, she did not hesitate to clear the level.
Seeing the two of them cooperate tacitly and solve the problem bit by bit and find clues, the netizens clapped and cheered.
Twenty minutes later, the exit door was suddenly pushed open.
Everyone held their breaths and looked in the direction of the door. They saw Chen Che holding Lin Xi’s hand and walking out.
“The winners of this secret room challenge are here! Let us congratulate Chen Che and Lin Xi for obtaining the first place in this round! The prizes are two white jade pendants.”
The staff at the scene clapped their hands and congratulated them, letting them go to the resting area at the side to rest for a while.
After another ten minutes, Luo Yuelin and Li Wei walked out of the exit.
Luo Yuelin’s hair was messy and her forehead was covered in sweat. She looked extremely disheveled.
She saw the two of them sitting in the resting area at a glance and her eyes were about to burn.
Facing the camera, Luo Yuelin did not dare to show her unhappiness and could only force a smile.
In the next half an hour, the couples walked out one after another. All of them were sweating profusely.
“It’s been hard on everyone. You’ve all done very well!”
Then, the host picked up the microphone and announced loudly, “Let us congratulate Team 7 for winning!”
Everyone applauded. The program director personally handed the prizes to the two of them.
The two of them opened the prize box and saw the white jade pendant inside. They looked at each other and smiled.
“I’ll put it on for you.”
Chen Che took out the pendant carved with a phoenix from the box and put it on Lin Xi’s neck. Then, Lin Xi helped Chen Che put on another pendant.
The camera recorded the sweet interaction between the two of them. At this moment, the live-stream was even livelier. Everyone wished the two of them a blissful marriage and a child soon.
After the event ended, most of the staff could get off work, except the VJs who had to continue following the various couples around.
Just as everyone was about to leave, a voice suddenly sounded.
“Wait a minute!”
Everyone turned around and saw Fang Weixun stand up. He faced the camera with a serious expression.
According to Chen Che’s request, Fang Weixun is to release shocking news after the event ended and when the netizens are most tuned in to the program.
Actually, Fang Weixun did not want to do this, but if he did not, Chen Che would immediately call the police and have him arrested.
“Can I help you?” the director asked.
Fang Weixun said seriously, “Director, I want to admit a mistake in front of all the staff and the entire country’s audience today.”
Upon seeing this, the cameramen immediately aimed their cameras at Fang Weixun.
“Everyone should be very curious about why I was injured. It’s because last night, I was instructed by a certain young master to attack Chen Che and cut his arm.”
“Just as I was about to make a mistake, I suddenly realized that Chen Che was magnanimous. When he found out that I was used, he didn’t hold me responsible.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire place was in an uproar.
Lin Xi was the first to be shocked. She grabbed Chen Che’s hand and asked worriedly, “Didn’t you say that you accidentally grazed your arm? Why was it slashed?”
Chen Che scratched his head and chuckled. “I was just afraid that you would be worried!”
The live-stream was silent for a moment before a screen of ‘F*ck’ appeared.
[So they really fought, but the person who attacked was Fang Weixun. Why is he so badly injured?!]
[How could that weakling Fang Weixun defeat Chen Che? He must have been beaten into submission. That’s why he apologized on the show.]
[Speaking of which, who is the certain young master Fang Weixun is talking about? Could his surname be starting with L?]
Just as everyone in the livestream was speculating, Fang Weixun had already scolded the ‘young master’.
“He gave me $100,000 in cash and asked me to attack Chen Che. It would be best if I killed him directly. After the matter was done, he gave me a million dollars. At that time, I was blinded by money and agreed.”
“Only now do I understand that that bastard is clearly using me to kill someone else. Once something really happens to Chen Che, I’ll take the blame for that bastard and go to jail.”
“That human is evil and sinister! I curse him, his ancestors and his descendants. May he not have any seasoning packets when eating instant noodles!”
Seeing that the traffic in the live-stream was rising crazily, the production team asked tentatively, “Is it convenient to reveal that young master’s name?”
“Let’s not talk about the name.” Fang Weixun rejected without hesitation.
The reason why he didn’t mention his name was because he had no evidence and couldn’t publicly identify him. When the matter blew up, he would let Lu Wentian bite back and say that he had maliciously spread rumors. He would still be jailed.
He only said ‘young master’ now. As for who this person was, it was up to the netizens to guess.
At this moment, the event venue and the live-stream were discussing. Most people knew about the grudge between Lu Wentian and Chen Che, so they naturally suspected Lu Wentian.
Everyone had an unspoken mutual understanding.
When Chen Che heard someone beside him whisper Lu Wentian’s name, the corners of his lips curled up.
He faced the camera with a hint of smugness in his eyes.
At this moment, Lu Wentian must be watching the live broadcast. He wondered how he would feel when he saw such a scene.
Last night, after Lu Wentian found out that his plan had failed, he called Fang Weixun and scolded him. Then, he hurriedly brought his men back to the provincial capital overnight to lie low.
He thought that it would end like this, but who knew that this fire would still burn him?
At this moment, in the Lu family’s villa in Provincial City.
BANG!
Lu Wentian sat on the sofa and threw the cup angrily. His expression was terrifyingly dark.
“Bastard! It’s already good enough that I didn’t settle scores with him. He actually dared to insinuate my involvement on the show!”
Lu Wentian gritted his teeth in hatred. Back then, he felt that Fang Weixun was simple-minded and had a motive to kill Chen Che, so he asked him to do this.
He did not expect this fool to trick him!
“That’s not right!”
Lu Wentian suddenly reacted. With Fang Weixun’s brain, how could he think of insinuating him in front of the camera?
“Chen Che!”
Lu Wentian gritted his teeth and shouted at the top of his lungs.
It must be Chen Che!
Chen Che had asked Fang Weixun to say those words on the show. Anyone who knew that he had a grudge against Chen Che would naturally suspect him.
Chen Che’s move was really brilliant!
Not only did he gain a good reputation for being magnanimous, but he could also chase him back to the provincial capital without any bloodshed.
Lu Wentian was furious and trashed the living room.
