Chapter 56 Pushing for foot after gaining an inch

At first, Xu Xiao Jiao didn’t think anything was wrong.

She completely treated Song Wei Ping as a sick patient. Especially when changing the dressing on his arm, she was even more careful, for fear that he would be in pain.

When she was dressing him, she was also careful and wasn’t in the mood to think about anything else.

She was serious about being his caring little wife, however Song Wei Ping’s mind had strayed afar.

This Xu Xiao Jiao, who kept him in her heart and took good care of him, truly moved his heart.

His little darling had completely lost all her cactus shell.

When eating, she would help him stir the soup to cool down, help him put the meat into the bowl, and put the spoon carefully for him.

Occasionally, when meatballs were made, she wouldn't even let him use his left hand. Instead, she would directly clipped up the meatballs and hand fed them to his mouth.

She was even more considerate from morning to night, squeezing toothpaste for him, shaving him, covering him with a quilt, and would wake up at night to see if she had pressed his arm.

Song Wei Ping thought she was cute every day when she acted wantonly and arrogantly. Her current obedient appearance made his heart itch even more.

Xu Xiao Jiao knew nothing about Song Wei Ping's thoughts. That night, before it was time to go to bed, Xu Xiao Jiao had promised to help Liu Chun Yan bet on a set of college entrance examination questions. Because Song Wei Ping, the former assistant, couldn’t help, Xu Xiao Jiao had to do it herself.

She had mostly finished the questions. While writing them down on the white paper, Xu Xiao Jiao settled accounts with Song Wei Ping, "Song Wei Ping, I’m usually the most reluctant to do anything. Look, I have made an exception for you."

Song Wei Ping originally wanted to sit at the table with Xu Xiao Jiao, but she ordered him to rest on the bed. Since he couldn't sleep, he grabbed a book to read. When he heard Xu Xiao Jiao's words, he raised his head from the book and looked at her petite back under the light.

"En." Song Wei Ping responded.

Xu Xiao Jiao was serious. When she heard his answer, she kept talking to him, "Then you have to make it up to me in the future. Not only will you buy me delicious food, but you will also take me to play fun things."

She looked back at him and said, "It's best to serve me as well as I serve you."

Song Wei Ping stared at her soft side face, responded again, lowered his eyes and continued reading as if nothing had happened, "Okay, I'll serve you well."

Xu Xiao Jiao focused on writing and stopped talking.

After a while, she was almost done writing. Song Wei Ping saw her stretching and knew that she was a little tired. So he closed the book and said, "I'm sleepy. Let’s sleep."

Xu Xiao Jiao cleared the table, "Okay, I've finished writing it. I'll show it to Chun Yan tomorrow and explain it to her a little bit. Don't pull your clothes by yourself. Wait for me to take them off for you."

Song Wei Ping gave n ‘en’ in response and waited for her.

After tidying up, Xu Xiao Jiao stretched for a while and muttered as she walked toward Song Wei Ping, "It's really tiring to move my hands. I have to get Chun Yan to invite me to the newly opened restaurant for a big meal tomorrow."

When she saw Song Wei Ping reaching out to unbutton his shirt, she raised her hand to help him, "As for what you owe me, remember it carefully."

Song Wei Ping slowly started to unbutton the first button at the bottom. Feeling Xu Xiao Jiao's hand touching the first button under his neck, he lowered his eyes and looked at her, "I can repay you now."

The buttons of the shirt were very small. It wasn't easy to unbutton them with one hand. Xu Xiao Jiao sat on the edge of the bed and had both hands on it, "How can you repay now? We can't go out to play. Even if we can, what if they bump into you if there are too many people. It’s you who’ll be in pain.”

Moreover, she would also feel distressed.

Song Wei Ping looked at her focused eyebrows and replied in a low voice, "There is no way to repay the kindness of service. I can only use my body."

When he said this, Xu Xiao Jiao was unbuttoning his neck and her fingertips touched his Adam's apple. Her fingers trembled slightly because he was speaking.

In order to protect his arms, the shirt was loose and the collar was wide open. His neck was long and slender. The whole thing was exposed to Xu Xiao Jiao's eyes.

The air suddenly became hot. Before Xu Xiao Jiao could make another move, Song Wei Ping held her finger and moved it to the next button, "Continue to unbutton it."

Xu Xiao Jiao shrank her fingers, but he held them tightly, "Song, Song Wei Ping, what are you doing? Who wants your body?"

Xu Xiao Jiao would never admit it. Just now when she saw Song Wei Ping's Adam's apple, she wanted to move closer, bite it gently, and listen to his muffled sound.

"Let go." She delicately harrumphed, feeling like she had no strength left in her body.

Song Wei Ping remained unmoved. He grasped her fingers and slowly unbuttoned all the buttons. Then he clasped her hands on his chest.

"Don't want me to repay?" Song Wei Ping asked her in a low voice.

The warm touch spread. Xu Xiao Jiao's heart beat a little higher, "Song Wei Ping, you, you are injured."

After saying this, she regretted it.

Xu Xiao Jiao, what are you talking about?

Sure enough, Song Wei Ping, who was above her head, chuckled, "En, once better, we can?"

Without waiting for Xu Xiao Jiao to answer, he added, "Actually, we can now."

His voice was low and magnetic, enveloping her whole body. The air was so dense that no one could escape.

Xu Xiao Jiao closed her eyes tightly and pushed him hard, ignoring her heartbeat that was about to jump out of her throat, "Song Wei Ping, stop messing. Don't say such things."

She wasn't very strong, but Song Wei Ping was sitting unsteadily because he was leaning forward. He leaned back and let out a hiss.

Xu Xiao Jiao was about to crawl from him into the bed when she heard his voice and immediately stopped. Then she turned around, "Song Wei Ping, did your arm get touched? I told you to stop messing around. Show me quickly."

She stopped her thoughts and was a little worried that his wound would burst open.

A smile flashed across Song Wei's face. He said in an aggrieved voice, "En, it did. It hurts."

Xu Xiao Jiao became even more anxious. Song Wei Ping added, "It will only be better if it get a kiss from Wife."

In one sentence, Xu Xiao Jiao knew that she had been deceived by Song Wei Ping again.

She picked up the pillow at hand and threw it on Song Wei Ping, "Song Wei Ping, you big baddie!"

She wanted to hit Song Wei Ping a few times, but she was afraid of hurting his arm and started pointing at him and threw out harsh words, "Just wait. Once you get better, I'm going to beat you hard."

Song Wei Ping coughed lightly, swallowed his mirth, and stretched out his hand to hold her fingers. "It hurts. I'm not lying to you. It hurts all the time. I’m enduring it."

He said it seriously. Xu Xiao Jiao was suspicious, "Really?"

Song Wei Ping nodded, "Wasn’t it touched just now. It's been hurting for the past few days. I was afraid that you would be worried, so I didn't say anything."

Xu Xiao Jiao whispered, "Why didn't you say anything? What should I do?"

Song Wei Ping looked at her, "I have an idea."

Xu Xiao Jiao urged him, "Say, is there any medicine we haven't bought?"

Song Wei Ping shook his head, "Come here. Let me hug you and it'll be fine. If you give me a kiss, it'll get better faster."

Only afterward, Xu Xiao Jiao caught on that Song Wei Ping was teasing her again.

Ahhhhhh, Song Wei Ping, he was so terrible!

**

Wu Chun Hua looked at the state of the young couple. Although she felt distressed for her son-in-law, a thought occasionally came to her mind.

The son-in-law's injury was worth it. Seeing how her concerned daughter was busying away, she knew to dote on her match this time.

Xu Xiao Jiao was annoyed, but she did everything she should do for Song Wei Ping. It was just that she learned Song Wei Ping's expressionless face.

Whether she was changing Song Wei Ping's clothes or wrapping his arms with waterproof bandages before he took a shower, she was serious and didn't even show an expression no matter how much Song Wei Ping teased her.

Song Wei Ping smiled at her, "Why are you so serious now? It's not cute anymore."

Xu Xiao Jiao didn't fall for his tricks, "I learned this from you, true gentleman."

"Do you need to treat me like a gentleman? I already promised you my body." Song Wei Ping raised his eyebrows.

Xu Xiao Jiao chided him, "You’re still saying this. Who needs it?"

When Song Wei Ping saw that she was annoyed again, he coaxed her, "Then I'll try another way. I'm almost fine. In a few days, I’ll take you to the provincial capital?"

Xu Xiao Jiao opened her eyes wide, "Really?"

Zhou Ping Xiang was in the provincial capital.

Song Wei Ping nodded, "Last time I heard that there is a state-owned factory over there that needs to be reorganized. They make electronic components and are very profitable. They have started clearing out the goods in the last few months. Let's see if we can get some stuff to transport to the south to sell.”

This news was told to him by the boss he worked with last time. The boss knew the leaders of the factory and had already said that as long as he reported his name, he would be able to get a batch of goods.

However, he was more conservative when he told Xu Xiao Jiao.

Xu Xiao Jiao had already agreed that she would go out with him next time, but she thought they were going to the south. Unforeseen, they were going to the northern provincial capital.

"That's great. Then I will definitely go and have fun with Ping Xiang. I'll write to her now."

Feeling elated, Xu Xiao Jiao happily sat down at the table. She had been pretending these past few days and was very tired. Xu Xiao Jiao smiled at Song Wei Ping as she pondered, "Song Wei Ping, I am very satisfied with this repayment."

Song Wei Ping looked at him, "Not considering that repayment of mine?"

Xu Xiao snorted, "I won't consider it."

In fact, she had considered it several times. However, hmph, it depended on his performance.

Song Wei Ping stopped talking about this. He applied for service, "Help me take off my clothes."

Speaking of this, Xu Xiao Jiao had something to say again, "Hey, Song Wei Ping, don't lie to me. I saw you helping Xiao Gang with his homework today. You even wrote with your right hand."

She walked up to Song Wei Ping and poked his injured arm, "You're all better, but still lie to me that it hurts every day!"

Song Wei Ping didn't expect to be seen through! The corners of his mouth curled up, "Then you won't help me take off my clothes from now on?"

"Not helping!"

Xu Xiao Jiao tapped his forehead, "It's merciful that I don't hold you accountable for lying to me."

Song Wei Ping sighed, "My little delicate wife is gone."

When Xu Xiao Jiao was serving him before, she muttered that she was a caring little delicate wife. So he jotted it down and mentioned it from time to time.

He still had something to rely on, "Since I'll take you to the provincial capital, is there any reward?"

Xu Xiao Jiao felt that Song Wei Ping was getting more and more cunning, "Hey, Song Wei Ping, taking me to the provincial capital is a reward for my service to you. You still want a reward? You dream too beautifully."

Song Wei Ping held his forehead and said, "Tsk, it's getting harder and harder to deceive."

Seeing that he was deflated, Xu Xiao Jiao laughed again. She sat down next to Song Wei Ping and her movements were unconsciously intimate, "Song Wei Ping, when will we set off."

Song Wei Ping enjoyed her closeness and stopped messing with her. "Let me tell Grandmother and Mom first. I will be completely fine in a few days and we’ll set off, okay?"

Xu Xiao Jiao nodded, "Then I'll write to Zhou Ping Xiang at once."

She sat back at the table again. It was empty beside Song Wei Ping. He silently stared at her back, feeling a little regretful. It would have been better if the injury was more serious.

He could have pretended for a while longer. Why did he get discovered?

Miscalculation.

Chapter 62 Different

Zhou Feifei confirmed with her own eyes of Jiang Yu's indifference to Qin Shiyu and Qin Shiyu's care for her. She felt desperate. She had been showing appreciation and kindness to him before. Wasn't suddenly becoming indifferent telling everyone Sima Zhao's intentions?

How to handle this? She couldn’t give up, right?

Just when she was depressed, a phone call brought her a turn of events.

Zhou Feifei looked at the name of the project leader of mobile phone protection software on the caller ID and had an idea.

Although Qin Shiyu seemed sick in mind, it was understandable after careful analysis. Putting aside his wealthy background, he was still excellent. What normal girl wouldn't like him? If there were too many suitors, he would definitely feel annoyed. So he was more likely to notice people who were indifferent to him.

Was hostility more eye-catching than indifference? Jiang Yu seemed to be walking this path, an evenly matched opponent and the likes.

Zhou Feifei's mind was spinning rapidly. She answered the phone in front of Qin Shiyu and said directly, "Has the test been completed? Is the protection level of the mobile phone okay? Can the hacking intrusion level like 'Gentleman Speak’s case' be prevented?"

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Qin Shiyu actually stopped and looked over. Zhou Feifei secretly rejoiced. However, she was stunned by what the other person said.

"The code you gave us has been deleted. We checked it urgently and found that it was very likely that the author of the code had reserved a loophole in advance. If he isn’t satisfied with the remuneration or other aspects, the code will be deleted and recycled. "

Zhou Feifei was stunned, "That code can be used?"

After she received the code USB flash drive yesterday, she casually gave it to the professional team she rehired, thinking that it would be the best if the other party was usable and that it didn't matter if he wasn’t. In fact, she had already decided that the other party was a liar, so she didn't ask them about the situation. Unforeseen, it worked? And even got the project leader to call...

"Of course it works!" the other party said excitedly, "The author of that code has a very high level. The function is perfect, and the operation is very smooth. It can only be written by a master-level person." 

At this point, the project leader blurted out, "Can I take the liberty to ask, what disagreements occurred between you and the other party?"

"If it's the remittance, I suggest you talk to him again. With his code, our entire software can be completed immediately. The price of 30,000 to 50,000 is definitely worth it. Or you can introduce him to us and I'll communicate with him."

30,000-50,000? Zhou Feifei couldn't help taking a deep breath when she thought of the price she offered to the other party. So she actually found a treasure?

"I understand." Zhou Feifei glanced at Qin Shiyu, who was leisurely leaning on the stairs and hadn’t left, and said calmly, "I will deal with it right away. Must trouble you guys to fight against time."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Shiyu asked her for the first time, "What? There is something wrong with your mobile phone protection project?"

Zhou Feifei subconsciously wanted to chat with him for a few more words, but remembered that illness of his and replied succinctly, "En, there was a bug, I have to deal with it." 

When turning around, she reminded him, "The person you hired is indeed brilliant, it’s still an invasion of other people’s privacy. So please be more careful in the future.”

After saying that, she went straight back to the bedroom. When she closed the door, she saw Qin Shiyu's raised corners of his mouth through the crack of the door. Zhou Feifei let out a long sigh of relief. This actually work?!

In this case, let's stay away from him for the time being and deal with the protection software first. Qin Shiyu’s side required emotion and energy. While contacting those rich ladies only required hard work.

Zhou Feifei picked up her phone and hurriedly sent a message to the person who had just contacted her, only to see a red exclamation mark - the other person had blocked her.

Zhou Feifei was so furious that she stamped her feet and added the other person as a friend again: 【Sorry, I didn't see it clearly just now and replied with my response to someone else. I'll pay you right away. 】

After sending it, she patiently waited for the other party to reply. She was planning how to cooperate with the other party. It would be best to suppress Qin Shiyu's powerful hacker friend to attract Qin Shiyu's attention.

She felt that compared to Jiang Yu, who wasn't yet famous, she would have a better chance since she already had traffic and was connected to Qin Shiyu's mother.

Jiang Yu didn't know that Zhou Feifei actually planned to use her and Qin Shiyu to fight in the ring. When she saw the friend message sent by the other party, she didn’t bother to read it and chose to ignore it and never accept it again.

She was short of money when she took this job and knew that she wasn't well-known in the world. That was why she didn't need a deposit and made a plan at a low price. If it worked, it would be an advertisement for herself. As long as the other party recognized the goods, they wouldn't treat her casually. Maybe there would have been more opportunities for cooperation in the future.

It turned out that the other party wasn't only ignorant, she was also bad personality Zhou Feifei. It would be strange if Jiang Yu worked with her again. Not to mention that there was a better partner in front of her.

With Ye Yuanyu's personality, he could at least give her the market price So there was no need to mention opportunity for cooperation? In today's Internet world, what project can't do without software?

Jiang Yu was nestled in a wicker chair, drinking milk and feeling the night breeze. Imagining that her life would soon be on track, she felt very happy.

Half a head poked out from the balcony on the opposite side.

On the third floor, these two large rooms facing south were used as deluxe single rooms. Naturally, the balconies were next to each other.

Qin Shiyu was tall and had long legs. His upper body, leaning slightly on the balcony, was more eye-catching than others. He was holding a can of beer in his hand.

He noticed her and turned sideways to look at her, "Zhou Feifei rejected the code you wrote?"

Jiang Yu was stunned, "How do you know?"

Qin Shiyu grinned, "Before I knew that you seemed to have taken on a job of writing code and were busy typing on the keyboard all day long. Yesterday, when Zhou Feifei was talking about the mobile phone protection code in the dressing room, something was amiss with your expression. I thought you were surprised that she made mobile phone protection software to target you."

"But I heard her call just now, saying there is something wrong with the code. She looked very anxious. What’s more, a few minutes ago, you discussed a cooperation with Ye Yuanyu. Thinking back to the dressing room, you must have been surprised that your employer was her." Qin Shiyu looked at Jiang Yu, "Did she offend you somewhere just now? That’s why you took back the code and went to find Ye Yuanyu instead."

Jiang Yu was surprised. He actually guessed very well. This person was too scary. "How do you know about my cooperation with Ye Yuanyu?"

Qin Shiyu laughed and motioned for her to look down from the balcony, "I can see it from here. You and Ye Yuanyu were whispering together." 

He turned to stare at her, "It can't be a love affair, right?"

Seeing this terrifying gaze, Jiang Yu shook her head at once.

She even wanted to stay away from him, how could she possibly get involved with the male protagonist?

Seeing Qin Shiyu's now friendly smile, she thought to herself that although he usually seemed to be ignoring Shu Hua, Qin Shiyu still cared about his younger cousin sister in his heart.

Before Shu Hua even realized it herself, he helped her protect the food.

Just in case, Jiang Yu still made her stance clear, “I know he likes Shu Hua." 

Even though he didn't seem to have figured it out yet.

Qin Shiyu laughed, "I didn't doubt you."

 Was that right? Why didn't she believe it? Jiang Yu went along with his words, "But I'm used to nipping all misunderstandings in the cradle."

Qin Shiyu smiled, "En, in short, I made a random guess based on these clues. Unforeseen, I I guessed it right."

Now it was Jiang Yu's turn to shake her head. It seemed that he really liked playing reasoning games.

"Zhou Feifei was anxious after receiving the call?" Jiang Yu couldn't help asking.

Qin Shiyu grinned, "I couldn't hear what was said on the phone, but looking at her expression, it was obvious that she regretted it."

The corners of Jiang Yu's mouth curled up. She was a layperson. She liked to see the regretful look of people who ignored her and actually called her a liar. Hmph! Served her right.

Qin Shiyu grinned, "You launched a hacker attack yourself, causing a panic among marketing accounts and rich ladies. Afterward, you wrote a protection software to make money from them. Is this considered making money through fishing?"

Since Jiang Yu was about to make money, she was in a good mood and joked with him, "It’s all because the out-of-reach Qin Shiyu was used as bait. It seems wrong if I don't make a big profit."

Qin Shiyu smiled and raised his glass to her, "My honor?"

Jiang Yu held up the milk and gestured to him, "No, it's my honor."

The two of them laughed in unison and didn't speak again. They stayed on their balconies and looked at the scenery outside the window, listening to the chirping of insects and the noise of the few people downstairs. Their bodies and minds were relaxed and satisfied.

When it was almost 12 o'clock, Shu Hua finally knocked on the door excitedly and came in, "Bigshot, I'm here to sleep with you!"

This was what they had agreed on a long time ago. The deluxe single room was said to be a single room, but the two-meter-long bed was more than enough to sleep two people.

It was their first time living together. Shu Hua and Jian Cang were so excited that she didn't come up until now.

Jiang Yu stood up to notify Qin Shiyu but only to find that he had left at some point. She was used to his casualness, so she didn't care and went back to the room to accompany Shu Hua.

Shu Hua came in with her luggage, "Fortunately, the show won't be recorded tomorrow and I can sleep here. If not, I would have had a hard time tonight. Zhou Feifei looked so fierce with her dark face. She is completely different from the one in front of the camera." 

Reaching her, she suddenly laughed, "It seemed that she had been quite angered by my Elder Brother."

Jiang Yu thought she was in a bad mood because of the code matter and was confused after hearing this, "Qin Shiyu angered Zhou Feifei?"

Shu Hua laughed and told Jiang Yu what happened after she left, "...He said he likes people who are indifferent to him."

Even though he knew that he was being used by Qin Shiyu, Jiang Yu was amused, "He really...does Zhou Feifei believe it?"

Shu Hua couldn't resist laughing, "Obviously I believe it."

Jiang Yu burst out laughing. Probably because she really cared too much! Only when one cares too much about something can she easily lose control.

Anyway, it was none of her business anyway. So the two of them tidied up and went to sleep.

After a silent night, everyone got up early the next morning and gathered to prepare to go home.

Divine Treasure Island had to record two episodes, because it was a live broadcast, they only had one day of recording. They can come over next week and continue recording the next episode.

As expected, Zhou Feifei didn’t cling to Qin Shiyu anymore. She did it so naturally. Because she wasn’t recording the program and had her mobile phone in her hand, she kept making calls and sending messages. She put on a very independent and smart celebrity aura, obviously preparing to change strategy.

Jiang Yu didn't take it to heart after treating it as a piece of gossip. She was eager to return home now. Because when she returned this time, she was about to move!

After getting off the boat, Qin Shiyu and Zhou Feifei both got into their own nanny cars and left to catch the activity.

Xiang Chen and Jian Cang were both in the south, They caught the plane to S city together. While Ye Yuanyu, Jiang Yu, and Shu Hua returned to B city together.

Before getting on the plane, Jiang Yu remembered what Qin Shiyu said when she was about to move. She sent him a message: 【When are you free? I'm thinking of moving out this week. 】

Qin Shiyu replied quite frankly: 【There are still activities today. I’ll get home tomorrow night. You can pack your luggage first. 】

Jiang Yu put away her phone and thought about going back to buy some food. She was leaving soon, so she should make a delicious meal to thank him.

In the nanny's car, Xu Lehua was a little surprised when he heard Qin Shiyu call the hourly worker to clean his flat floor in the Tinglan community, "You want to go back to live there? Don't you dislike how big it is?" 

He added, "But now you are about to be famous. You have to live in a community with better privacy."  

Qin Shiyu didn't comment, put away his phone, and closed his eyes.

Xu Lehua looked at the slightly raised corners of his mouth. Based on his understanding of him, he had a feeling that he was holding back some tricks up his sleeve.

Who provoked him again?

Chapter 61 Different

Seeing Zhou Feifei's dazed back, Shu Hua laughed silently.

After confirming that the person left, Shu Hua gave Qin Shiyu a thumbs up, "Brilliant. If she seeks you in the future, she’s annoying. Only by ignoring you can she attract your attention. So what should she do?"

"Just like a person who doesn’t like you, hahaha..."

Qin Shiyu glanced at her, then got up and went upstairs out of boredom.

The deluxe single room was fully equipped. Jiang Yu took a nice bath and washed away the fatigue of the day. She changed into her pajamas and nestled into the wicker chair on the large balcony, feeling the night breeze that carried the fragrance of vegetation and looking at the little lights that scattered in the distance. It would be even nicer to have a small drink.

After thinking about it, Jiang Yu put on her clothes and prepared to go downstairs to get a drink from the refrigerator.

As a result, as soon as she went down a flight of stairs, she heard Ye Yuanyu's voice. He must be on the phone:

"... For a mobile phone protection software, even if you want to customize it, you can find a company to do it. It can be done for at least 108,000 yuan. Why are you looking for me?"

Jiang Yu originally wanted to go back, but she couldn't help but stop when she heard this. Mobile phone protection software, one hundred and eighty thousand?

"...Mom, I'm still busy with the projects at hand. Where can I find the time to do this for you? Besides, I'm studying finance, not IT." Ye Yuanyu's voice was filled with helplessness, "...that hacker is very powerful, but they are obviously targeting those who spread rumors. Once one hack into the account, it’s a crime. If they are so capable, why would they do such dangerous things?”

It was unknown what was said at the other end. Ye Yuanyu responded, "If you want me to do it, it will be only when it’s directly turned into a project." 

Reaching here, he seemed to have an idea, "Anyway, didn't you say those friends of ours are worried? Then I’ll directly make a customized protection, ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 per person according to functional requirements... Okay, that’s fine.”

"Then you pay an advance payment of five hundred thousand..."

As expected of an elite bigshot. He can come up with a project even when he was chatting with his mother.

Jiang Yu thought about the code she had written and didn't bother to get a drink. She returned to the room to send a message to her employer. Although she wasn't sure whether her client was Zhou Feifei, since Ye Yuanyu wanted to make the protection software as a project and the other party, who had to outsource their software writing, would definitely not be able to do it. Jiang Yu decided to get the remuneration first. Of course, she had another consideration...

【Hello, have you received the plan? Have you tried it on a trial basis? Is there anything else you're not satisfied with? 】

Zhou Feifei was feeling irritable. The more she mulled over it after she returned to the room, the more she felt that Qin Shiyu was playing tricks on her. So she turned on the live broadcast to watch the replay. Before she could determine whether Jiang Yu was hiding from Qin Shiyu, she first saw the ridicule she received on the barrage. As she was about to throw away her phone in fury, she saw the part-time job she had hired coming to ask for the bill. She immediately exploded. A liar was truly thick-skinned.

She had already found someone else. It would take at least seven or eight days for a three-person team to speedily write the code. While she found one person to finish it in seven or eight days. Tricking who?

Immediately she replied: 【Don’t treat people as fools, your thing can’t be used at all. 】

After saying that, she threw away the phone and ignored it.

Jiang Yu, who received the message:...

It seemed that Zhou Feifei wasn’t proficient in coding at all. Otherwise, how could she dare to treat her so casually?

Turning on the computer and connecting to the Internet, Jiang Yu typed on the keyboard a few times and soon discovered that her plan had been trial-run and was still open. Zhou Feifei was recording a program, so she probably handed it over to others to do it.

Since she didn't want it, she had no choice but to take it back. Jiang Yu's index fingers were flying. In front of a computer in City B, someone was praising the beautifully written code and his programmers could save them a lot of time when they saw the lines of code in front of him disappeared quickly. He was so frightened that he hurried to find someone.

Jiang Yu made a new copy of the code and sent a message directly to Ye Yuanyu. This was another layer of her consideration. If the other party didn't understand or acted rogue, it would be better to cooperate with Ye Yuanyu, since it would be efficient and safe.

Soon she received a message. The two agreed to meet at the swing in the yard in ten minutes. Jiang Yu went downstairs to get a drink.

Next door, Qin Shiyu received an unexpected call from his psychiatrist.

"Doctor Lu." Qin Shiyu was a little surprised.

The person on the other side grinned, "I guess you are almost done with your work. How are you feeling today?"

Qin Shiyu leaned on the balcony, looked at the few lights in the distance, and drawled out, "Not bad."

"You do sound like you’re doing pretty well." Dr. Lu didn't drag it and asked directly, "I watched your live broadcast today. You seem to be a little different toward the girl named Jiang Yu. Is there any reason?"

It turned out that it was because of this. Qin Shiyu said frankly, "She helped me a lot when I was slandered last time, but didn't take care of herself. So I want to repay her."

"So you are doing this to guide public opinion?" Dr. Lu suddenly said, "I was wondering why no one managed the girl's previous scandals in the past. It turns out that you are managing. If not, she might not be able to escape cyber bullying."

Qin Shiyu didn’t deny it, "After all, I was the one who got her involved."

Dr. Lu grinned, "But I remember that you don't have the guilt-ridden emotion."

Qin Shiyu supported his chin and drawled out, "When living in a crowd, one still has to abide by basic social etiquette. Since I have caused her trouble, I will be responsible for the aftermath. This is what I should do."

Then there are a lot of things you should do. Dr. Lu vaguely noticed something and continued to ask, "But there are many ways to deal with the aftermath. You don't need to do it yourself."

Qin Shiyu said, "En, all things considered. This is the fastest and most effective one."

"Aren't you afraid that she will fall in love with you?" Dr. Lu asked, "That would be more troublesome. And it would be the trouble you hate the most."

Qin Shiyu thought of Jiang Yu's shyness toward him and instantly laughed, "En, don't worry, she can't wait to avoid me."

Dr. Lu was stunned for a moment, "Is that why you feel safe approaching her? What if the other party was trying to play hard to get?" 

After saying that, he smiled, "I almost forgot, you have a minor in psychology and your micro-expression observation is better than mine. It seems she really doesn’t like you.”

Knowing that was the one thing, Qin Shiyu still felt slightly displeased when the other party said it.

Dr. Lu smiled again, "All things considered, it means you haven't wronged yourself. How does it feel to get along with her? Even if she doesn't like you."

Qin Shiyu couldn't help but emphasize, "She doesn't like me the way it is between a man and woman. It's not that she doesn't like me as a person."

"That’s right. I think you two get along like friends." Dr. Lu went along and rephrased, "You guys have a good understanding. Is it because she is similar to you in some aspects. That’s why you feel close to her?"

Qin Shiyu laughed, "She isn’t like me." 

Thinking of her happy expression facing the lake on the roof of the Lakeview Courtyard today, he sighed, "Although she talks little, she loves life and the world. Completely different from me, who lives one day at a time.”

"Then why do you feel relaxed getting along with her? Of course, except for the reason that she doesn't like you." Dr. Lu said with a smile, "After all, the other male guests don't like you either and you don't seem to have the idea of making friends with them.”

Qin Shiyy pondered for a while, "Maybe it's because she is very powerful and can protect herself?"

Dr. Lu was stunned for a moment. It was the first time he heard him say this. Intuition told him it was important, but he couldn't figure it out for the moment. He could only ask, "To make friends with you, one must be strong enough to protect themselves?"

Qin Shiyu said jokingly, "This is a necessity. After all, it's easy to get unlucky if you get close to me."

Something flashed through Dr. Lu's mind, but he still couldn't catch it. He could only continue to analyze, "In fact, aren't you protecting her?"

Qin Shiyu said, "Of course she can protect herself even if I don't take action. It's just social courtesy. I should be responsible for this matter."

Dr. Lu grinned, "I understand. After all, she won't like you, and you won't like her either. You feel that this kind of relationship is right and not burdensome. This is a wonderful matter and is good for your treatment."

Qin Shiyu said briskly, "I think so too."

Dr. Lu couldn't help but want to laugh. He actually learned how to make excuses.

With his pride, why would he go out to find someone who avoids him, unless he was uncontrollably attracted...

Dr. Lu didn't point it out. It was a good sign for Qin Shiyu. A person's clear analysis of themselves meant that he harshly judged himself and at the same time gave up on himself. Anyway, the good and bad can be discarded at any time. That’s why it was dangerous.

After all, human nature had a selfish side. It was human nature to cover up and beautify one's own little thoughts...

In the past, Qin Shiyu was very cooperative with every treatment and did not hesitate to talk about his malice and scars. But this time, without even realizing it, he carefully hid a small place...

Unexpectedly, after going round and round, Qin Shiyu would be treated in what he considered as the most impossible way. It was a pity that the other party didn't like him...

Thinking of this, Doctor Lu couldn't resist laughing. There might really be retribution in this world. He had caused so many people headaches, and now he himself had hit a piece of iron.

Qin Shiyu waited patiently for Dr. Lu to continue speaking, when his eyes suddenly fell on the swing frame in the yard...

Why were they there? What were you talking about?

​Zhou Feifei was really irritated. At the thought that she had sacrificed good resources to make a fool of herself in a variety show as well as completely screwing up with the target she wanted to conquer, she could no longer hold her temper and planned to go upstairs to find out what happened.

She had a feeling that Qin Shiyu was playing ricks on her. 

After leaving the room, she saw Jiang Yu going up to the third floor. After thinking about it, she stepped forward to say hello, "Where have you been?"

Jiang Yu shook the milk in her hand and replied, "Go get a drink and get ready for bed."

"Go get a drink?" A deep voice came from above.

The two of them looked up and saw Qin Shiyu standing at the stairs on the third floor.

Jiang Yu thought he was going to get a drink too, so she nodded and said, "There's everything in the refrigerator." 

She was afraid that Zhou Feifei would use her to do something wrong, so she took two quick steps and passed Qin Shiyu, "Good night."

Zhou Feifei felt cold in her heart when she saw Jiang Yu's avoidance and Qin Shiyu's angrily smile at the other party's back:

He really liked people who didn’t like him...

This was a serious illness. How could she get close to him?

TISHW 60




Chapter 60 Different

Although the live broadcast room was closed, the program team still needed to shoot some behind-the-scenes footage.

To everyone, it made no difference. Anyway, they still have to continue cooking and eating.

However, Zhou Feifei’s assistant came up to her immediately and said that she had some work matters to see to. Zhou Feifei apologized, put down the kitchen knife, and left.

The group understood. After all, she was a star and probably had a lot to do. At present, except for Qin Shiyu, they were all ordinary people.

The main reason was that after she left, everyone felt more at ease.

Xiang Chen picked the beans and asked, "How long will it take for today's live broadcast replay to be generated?"

When Shu Hua heard this, she wanted to run away. Ye Yuanyu said coldly, "Can't be generated."

Jian Cang was very experienced, "Today's live broadcast was relatively long, it will probably take an hour or two."

Xiang Chen grinned, "How about watching it after dinner?"

Ye Yuanyu stopped cutting the meat and threatened, "Do you still want to eat the stir-fried pork?"

His stir-fried pork at noon received unanimous praise and everyone ordered this dish again in the evening.

Xiang Chen grinned, "Don't be so sensitive. I mainly want to see how Jiang Yu was cheated out of 13 points by Qin Shiyu."

Jian Cang smiled, "I mainly want to see the barrage."

Shu Hua quickly chipped in, "I want to see...um...Qin Shiyu and Jiang Yu be frightened by snakes!"

Jiang Yu then followed, "I want to see the part where you are looking for Zhang San's treasure map."

Everyone:...

Wasn’t that the content of the five of them being chicken flying and dog jumping?

Jian Cang resentfully looked at Shu Hua, "Why do you have to remind us of such a cruel fact? At least let us have a pleasant meal."

Shu Hua squatted on the ground and drew circles in depression, "I was wrong, wuwu~~"

Everyone was provoked into laughing by her.

Upstairs, Zhou Feifei heard the laughter downstairs as she listened to Fang Ke report on how the response to the show was still not good through the phone. She frowned and said, "Last time, it was said I was too annoying. This time I restrained myself, they said I had no bright spots. What on earth do they want from me?"

Fang Ke said, "I took a look. The main problem is the interaction. You interacted with them too little. After all, Qin Shiyu, Ye Yuanyu and the others are the main force of this show. You can't let your fans make trouble anymore."

Zhou Feifei's fan jumped too overboarded in the last episode and almost ruined her big matter. Before the recording of this episode, she contacted the big fans of the fan club and made repeated orders to restrain the fans not to do anything more. Maybe after the program team has gained experience and moderated it. The overall impression of the audience was good, the evaluation of Zhou Feifei was that she was completely unnecessary.

Speaking of this, Zhou Feifei felt extremely aggrieved, "...they kind of rejected me."

Fang Ke felt puzzled, "With Qin Shiyu, we can’t say anything. The young master of a wealthy family does whatever he likes. Shouldn't the others be fawning over you?"

Zhou Feifei didn't understand either. She was very well taken care of in other variety shows. Those whose traffic was not as good as hers respect her, and those whose traffic was better than hers behaved very harmoniously in front of the camera despite what happened in private. "I don't know what they are thinking."

Fang Ke said, "Maybe it's because ordinary people have suddenly become famous? This show has praised them very highly and they themselves are all quite proud. They don't know the rules of the entertainment industry yet, so they think they are so powerful that there is no need to accommodate anyone?"

Zhou Feifei said, "What should I do? I read on the Internet that some people think I am stupid, and some even scold me for being shameless and using up points." She was really vexed when she said this. Since she entered the circle, in all the programs she was in, she was the top student. Here they all called her mentally retarded.

As a bystander, Fang Ke knew better, "They are all geniuses in a certain professional field. You can't compare with them on this show. However, being smart isn’t enough to mingle in the entertainment industry. They will suffer in the future." .”

"However, you are really not suitable for this show, unless you are a gag and comedian like Shu Hua."

"In short, these two programs have consumed a lot of your popularity. Your past academic highlights have become a stepping stone to make them even more powerful. If this continues, this program definitely can’t be recorded."

Irritated, Zhou Feifei rubbed her forehead. Fang Ke asked, "How are you and Qin Shiyu progressing? This is the main purpose of recording this show."

"And his approval is very important in the show. Look at Jiang Yu, she has such a bad reputation online. Because Qin Shiyu approves of her and interacts with her the most, she is the most popular among the six of them when excluding Qin Shiyu.”

Hearing this, Zhou Feifei became even more irritated, "I don't know what method she used. Elder Sister Fang, do you think the things we heard about are true? When I met her, I felt that she was completely different from the rumors."

Fang Ke said, "She probably adjusted her strategy in time and tempered her temper after screwing up. After all, there is still a chance to clear up the things posted on the Internet. If she continues, she will definitely seek death."

"You should know this very well. How many actors and stars have completely different faces in front of the camera and behind the camera?" She said, "Don't worry about her for now. Qin Shiyu is currently the most important."

Zhou Feifei couldn't help sigh when she thought about her efforts throughout the day, "He's really hard to get close to."

"If he is easy to get close to, I'm afraid it won't be your turn. In the first season, there were several top stars participating together. He didn't get familiar with them." Fang Ke said, "But you have advantages that others don't have, no? Hurry up and have a good chat with him and try to turn the situation around in the next episode."

Yes, she had advantages that others don't have. Once she conquers such a difficult person, he will be absolutely loyal. Zhou Feifei rekindled her fighting spirit.

"Time to eat!" An excited voice came from downstairs, Zhou Feifei put away her mobile phone and went downstairs.

Everyone busied away with serving food and rice before finally sitting at the dining table. Zhou Feifei sat next to Qin Shiyu as she wished. However, they were all so hungry that they didn't even bother to talk after sitting down. They were all quiet. During the meal, she occasionally wanted to pick a topic, but no one answered her. It wasn't until they finished eating that they became lively again.

Qin Shiyu stood up and cleaned up the dishes. He had not done much while cooking, so he was now responsible for washing the dishes. Jian Cang and Shu Hua wanted to join in. Zhou Feifei held them down at once and neatly cleared the table. She stated, "Let me do it. I didn't help with the cooking earlier."

Jian Cang wanted to be polite, Zhou Feifei took the plate from his hand with a firm attitude, "I'm really embarrassed to eat ready-made food. You guys are tired after a long day of work. Go and take a rest." 

Reaching here, she continued with a smile. "It so happens that I have something to tell Qin Shiyu."

Since she made it clear, it was difficult for others to join in.

Xiang Chen called Ye Yuanyu and Jian Cang to go to the yard to digest the food. Jiang Yu slumped on the sofa and didn't want to move. Shu Hua glanced at the kitchen, came over and whispered in her ear, "Bigshot, Zhou Feifei seemed to hold bad intentions toward my Elder Brother. Aren’t you going to intervene?"

Jiang Yu looked puzzled, "Why should I intervene?"

Shu Hua said, "Aren't you my Elder Brother's fiancée?"

Jiang Yu:……

Shu Hua would have almost forgotten this matter if she didn't mention it. To prevent this girl from having random thoughts, Jiang Yu felt it was necessary to make it clear, "It's only in name. We will go our separate ways in two years."

Shu Hua asked, "Do you have an agreement? Work together to deceive Chen Yalian?"

Jiang Yu contemplated and said, "Sort of." 

Regardless of whether it was this case or not before, it was now.

Shu Hua sighed, "I guess so. Otherwise my Elder Brother wouldn't have that attitude."

Jiang Yu nodded. If she wasn't sensible, he would probably have the same attitude toward her as he did toward the original owner. Although that attitude was quite good, Jiang Yu couldn't do anything like pestering others. So she felt that this was okay for now. Anyway, after she goes back tomorrow, she will move home. From now on they will have a relationship as colleagues who meet once a week.

Her life was finally on the right track!

Shu Hua said mysteriously, "Don't you like my Elder Brother at all?"

Jiang Yu replied at once, "I don't like!" Don't scare people.

Shu Hua:......

She had a hurt expression on her face: "You said it too quickly. I really want you to be my elder sister-in-law."

Jiang Yu stroked her fur and said, "Think of something practical." 

Let alone her sister-in-law, if she could, she would really like to stay away from him. Who made money more important than him.

Shu Hua laid down directly on her lap and said sadly, "To be honest, I think I may not have an elder sister-in-law in this life. He is really too cold-blooded."

Jiang Yu nodded. It had to be said that Shu Hua's intuition was terrifyingly accurate.

"Speaking of which, Zhou Feifei is a popular little flower. Why is she sticking to my Elder Brother?" Shu Hua was confused, "For traffic?"

In order to become the eldest young madam of the Qin Group. However, Jiang Yu didn't say this.  She believed Qin Shiyu could handle this matter by himself. If things didn't work out, Zhao Shunong would deal with the aftermath. It wouldn't be Shu Hua's turn to worry about it. So she could continue to do whatever she wanted. The carefree and funny heroine was quite good.

Shu Hua jumped up and declared, "No, I'm still worried. I want to go and see for myself."

Then... she perched down on the back of the sofa, peered furtively toward the kitchen, and whispered, "Based on my experience, my Elder Brother won't pay attention to her at all. She will realize the difficulty in three minutes and retreat...I'll go!!"

Jiang Yu was startled by her hammering on the sofa and thought something was amiss. At this time, she heard her exclaim in shock, "My Elder Brother actually looked at Zhou Feifei!"

Jiang Yu:……

Your Elder Brother wasn’t Medusa and one look at the other person could kill them. As for being so surprised?

Shu Hua said, "This means that he was listening to her." 

She uttered in disbelief, "Generally, for unfamiliar people, especially those who approach with a purpose, my Elder Brother treats them as nothing."

Jiang Yu understood that it was true. She had experienced this kind of treatment in the beginning.

"I can feel that something is up with Zhou Feifei. How can my Elder Brother, who can see through people like a monster, not be unaware of it?" Shu Hua was extremely curious, "So, what on earth is she talking about?"

Of course she was talking about Qin Shiyu's mother, "...I was suffering from acute myeloid leukemia at that time and the director had no money to treat me. If it hadn't been for Madam Qin, I might not be where I am now." Zhou Feifei sighed.

She still kept a cautious eye and pretended not to know Qin Shiyu's true identity. After all, the information on the Internet was confusing. Some said that he was the child of an ordinary family. She could completely regard the idea that he was a young master from a wealthy family as nonsense. After all, these rich people have complicated minds. It would be bad if he thought she was leaning on him because of his status.

It would be better to treat him as an ordinary child and approach him as a supporter: "It's a pity that Madam did good deeds without leaving her name. The dean and I only heard the assistant call her Madam Qin." 

At this point, she grinned, "Probably because of this, I always have a good impression of people surnamed Qin and unconsciously want to take care of them."

"Of course it's not just people surnamed Qin. Madam Qin gave me a new life and I want to continue her spirit."

Qin Shiyu finally glanced at her. Zhou Feifei suppressed the excitement in her heart and really began to "take care of" Qin Shiyu, teaching him the experience of entering the entertainment industry, "You have a good starting point and have no black material." 

Reaching here, she laughed, "The so-called black material helped you a lot some time ago."

"However..." she hesitated, "I turned on my phone just now and the whole screen was full of CP topics between you and Jiang Yu AA couple. I suggest you deal with it. You now have work. "The Devil's Moment" is still on the air. If you really want to stir a CP, it is more appropriate to do it with the actors in the crew. Because having two CPs at the same time, will cause berates and make it easy to divide your fans. This can be exploited by black fans."

"Black fans are completely unreasonable. Now some people on the Internet are saying that you have a crush and are still getting close to other girls on the show and are a scumbag." At this point, Zhou Feifei looked apologetic, "You having a crush was stirred out by my fans’ fuss. I saw the replay of the live broadcast and found out that I had caused trouble for you. I apologize to you on their behalf."

"If you need anything in the future, you can always come to me. Consider it my and my fans’ apology."

Qin Shiyu wrung out the dishcloth, hung it on the shelf, took off his apron, and smiled politely, "It's done. Goodbye."

With that expression on his face, it felt like he hadn't heard a word of what she said.  

Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhou Feifei couldn't hold it back and said, "I heard that Jiang Yu's personal life isn’t very good. It was her who caused your scandal last time. Why didn't you avoid suspicion and be like what the Internet said? Does she have any leverage against you?"

Qin Shiyu finally halted his steps, "She doesn’t."

Zhou Feifei responded at once, "Sorry, I misunderstood her. I have been in the entertainment industry for a good few years and have seen too many things. I can't help but overthink." 

She tested, "I just see that you treat her differently..."

Qin Shiyu suddenly smiled and motioned for her to follow him.

Compared with the previous indifference, his invitation was simply too precious. Zhou Feifei followed at once and saw Qin Shiyu walking to the edge of the sofa.

Jiang Yu felt the shadow above her head, looked up, and saw Qin Shiyu standing next to her. She wondered, "What's wrong?"

Leisurely, Qin Shiyu wanted to sit down, "Make room."

Jiang Yu:? ? ? What kind of sickness is he experiencing? Why sit here out of so many places?

She suspected that this man would go crazy if she changed places, so she simply stood up and said, "I'm a little tired. I'll go back and rest first. Good night."

After that, she went directly upstairs.

Perplexed, Shu Hua looked at him and Zhou Feifei. Zhou Feifei didn't understand either. What did he want her to see?

Qin Shiyu sat down where Jiang Yu was sitting now, watched her go upstairs, and drawlingly smiled, "Don't you think it's cute how she ignored me?"

Zhou Feifei:......

So, you deliberately make your presence known because the other person doesn’t want to bother with you?

Wasn't this the age old cliche of "Woman, you succeeded in attracting my attention"?

Zhou Feifei was in a daze. After all this, she took the wrong route?

Then she had a problem. She was so enthusiastic just now. How can she realize Qin Shiyu’s desire for inattention?

Fudge, those rich people were all crazy!

TISHW 59




Chapter 59  Team building camp 19

Ye Yuanyu came back with 25 points. As if he was afraid that Shu Hua could not see clearly, he stuffed them into his bag slowly and leisurely.

Shu Hua pursed her lips, turned around and laid silently on Jiang Yu's lap.

Jiang Yu rubbed her head and whispered, "He probably has the highest points."

Shu Hua immediately sat up and said energetically, "Come, come, whoever has the highest points invites us to eat meat. Treat us to 10 points worth!"

Ye Yuanyu realized something and looked at Jiang Yu hesitantly.

Jiang Yu said, "My Zhang San's clues are worth 15 points. From the alliance with Qin Shiyu, 20 points were split from Wang Yi's treasure map and the clues about Zhang San's murder. Although the rangefinder had earned 15 points, the profit was evenly divided with Qin Shiyu. Even if I get the majority, it’s only 8. A total of 43."

Shu Hua immediately started counting Ye Yuanyu's, "15 points for Zhang San's clues, 25 points for Zhang San's treasure map." 

At this point, she felt a little vexed, "11 points for Li Er's death! Even when you spent 5 points for the bicycle, there are still 46 left!”

"You have the most points. Oh oh oh, buy meat to eat!"

Ye Yuanyu felt that Jiang Yu was lying, "You were ahead when we were on the dock. Later, you made the most money in the situational puzzle. It's impossible to have less than me."

Shu Hua argued on Jiang Yu's behalf, "All the points earned by Bigshot at the dock were used to pay for the room and treat us to meat. There was nothing left at all. The situational puzzle earned 6 yuan, which is only 49. Didn't you earn 2 in the situational puzzle?

46+2, 48... Huh?" 

Shu Hua looked at Jiang Yu and her voice became smaller.

Xiang Chen covered his eyes and Jian Cang laughed, "Shu Hua, why are you still not helping?"

Jiang Yu calmly replied, "It cost me 13 points to form an alliance. 49-13 is only 36 points."

Jian Cang blurted out, "Why does it cost points to form an alliance?!"

After saying that, he and everyone looked at Qin Shiyu in shock. Everything was possible in "All Rounder". There was no one else who had the ability to do such a thing here.

Qin Shiyu:......

It was clearly only 6. When did it become 13? Besides, he only said that there were 13 points in total stored with her. He wasn’t taking away 13 points from her.

He looked at Jiang Yu who was talking nonsense. Jiang Yu lowered her head silently.

Qin Shiyu couldn't help smiling, "Do you think it's possible?"

Everyone was a little hesitant. With Jiang Yu's character of not suffering any losses, it was unlikely. But Qin Shiyu was very powerful, so they were a little uncertain.

Qin Shiyu said, "Do you think I can trick her?"

Before anyone else could speak, Jiang Yu spoke out, "No."

Seeing everyone looking at her, she said calmly, "We are mutually benefitting."

【Hahahaha, I can be temporarily behind in points, but can’t question my ability. Even if the opponent is Qin Shiyu. 】

【Elder Sister Yu’s competitive spirit. 】

Qin Shiyu was amused, while Ye Yuanyu saw through her and said expressionlessly, "What mutual benefitting? Save the points for buying meat and divide them equally?"

【Hey, this is an idea. Saving the 10 points for buying meat and sharing it equally among us is more cost-effective than giving them to the show team. 】

【ROFL, everyone is poor and vying to buy meat at noon. After this afternoon, everyone became wealthy and started to play tricks to avoid buying meat. Is this a loss of morality or a distortion of human nature? 】

【Hahaha, points probably come second. They want to compete for the top. 】

【All Rounder people have a strange desire toward winning and losing. 】

Jiang Yu looked at Ye Yuanyu and suddenly said, "I can buy meat. But you have to put on the earlier T-shirt and give us a show."

Ye Yuanyu:......

He stood up expressionlessly to buy meat. Xiang Chen held him down, "I think Jiang Yu should buy it."

Ye Yuanyu struggled, "No need, I'll buy it."

"No, no, no," Jian Cang rushed to stop him, "We can crowdfund to buy it! Elder Brother Ye, thank you for your hard work!"

Ye Yuanyu gritted his teeth and said, "Scram!"

【Hahaha, this is a great idea. We all agree! 】

【ROFL, just now he refused to buy it. Now they are fighting to buy it. The reversal of these people is always so unexpected. 】

【Surprise, why are all the guests rushing to buy meat? Oh, it turns out to see Ye Yuanyu show off his chest muscles. 】

In the end, everyone crowdfunded to buy the meat. It wasn't because Ye Yuanyu wore a chest-revealing T-shirt to perform a show, but that the evil director team had increased the prices significantly.

When they heard that pork had become 22 points, the three boys who were making a fuss stopped. Jian Cang said, "This is too black!"

"The price at noon was special. Now it's the regular price," the director pointed outside and said, "It's really getting dark. You don't have the ingredients for the evening yet."

That was true. It was almost eight o’clock. Even in summer, it was completely dark.

Jian Cang wailed, "I almost forgot about eating!"

Shu Hua also remembered now, "I'm so hungry!"

The two of them quickly went to get their nets to catch grasshoppers in exchange for eggs, while the others got up to complete the task of picking vegetables.

Xiang Chen said, "With five people, we can pick a load of vegetables in half an hour, right?"

Anyway, except for the meat that cannot be exchanged through tasks, they would never spend an extra point.

However, they heard the director say, "The task of exchanging grasshoppers for eggs is no longer available. Auntie Zhang picks vegetables to sell in the market. The ones picked now aren’t fresh, so you have to pick them tomorrow morning."

Anyway, they have to spend points.

【It’s coming. The director team and the guests are pushing to the limit. Can the director team win this time? 】

【This time, it seems that they won’t be able to defeat the director team. 】

【Oh, I didn’t even realize what was wrong if the above didn’t mention it. Normally, shouldn’t they be asking the guests if they can win? 】

【When did you see them act normally? I bet the director team can’t win! 】

【I can’t even gamble. Haha, I don’t know what they are going to do. 】

  What to do? When facing such a rogue director team, of course they have to be even more rogue.

Jiang Yu secretly whispered something into Shu Hua and Jian Cang's ears. Their eyes lit up and they excitedly ran out with their net bags, obviously preparing to continue catching grasshoppers.

Seeing this, the others decided not to take the usual route. Xiang Chen said, "We can go get a basket of vegetables first, and then help Aunt Zhang pick vegetables tomorrow morning."

Ye Yuanyu said, "En, if Aunt Zhang doesn't trust us, she can keep the director's camera there."

Director team:......

Half an hour later, everyone returned home with their loads of food and happily prepared to cook.

Xiang Chen was washing the vegetables and looked at the dozen eggs that Jian Cang and Shu Hua had brought back and wondered, "It's understandable that we get the food on credit in advance, why would Sister-in-law Wang agree to give you eggs?"

Jian Cang laughed loudly, "Because if she doesn't exchange, we will decide to release the grasshopper on the spot."

Shu Hua laughed, "There are so many grasshoppers in the evening! Twice as many as during noon!"

  Other people:……

【Hahaha, even their own people feel damaged to the point of bursting. 】

【I laughed so hard. I can’t forget the expression on NPC Sister-in-law Wang’s face when they were trying to release the grasshoppers out. 】

【The definition of panic. Never expect a group of top students to act rogue. 】

Everyone successfully had dinner. This day's live broadcast was about to end. The group said goodbye to the audience and the audience was still unsatisfied: "Actually, I can still watch them eat." 】

【I can watch them while they sleep. I think it won’t get boring even if they do nothing while sleeping. 】

【Speaking of which, stories are most likely to happen at night, right? Can you please bring out all the behind-the-scenes? Want to see. 】

【Crowdfunding? Ye Yuanyu's chest muscles and the stories of the top students at night. 】

【Hahahahaha, such sarcasm! I’ll raise the money! 】

【Crowdfunding +1 】

【Crowdfunding +10086! Ye Yuanyu’s chest muscles can be released first. 】

Chapter 55 Injured

"Oh, little miss, you must be scared. To actually encounter someone who steals things?"

"It's so late at night and there are so many people! These thieves are so bold. catch them and put them in jail!"

"It's not easy to catch. That person was riding a bicycle. Once far away, he disappears into the dark and you can't find him. There was one the day before yesterday. Gold earrings were hanging on the ears. Not only did he drag it away, the girl's ears were injured. It’s no use to report to the police as they can’t be found.”

Xu Xiao Jiao listened to the chatter around her and kept staring at Song Wei Ping's figure.

She didn't expect that she would encounter a thief. This experience was too unfamiliar. Xu Xiao Jiao's first thought was to call the police. Then she thought that at this time, there weren't so many cameras at all. If she didn't chase after and they knew what the thief looked like when the police arrived, there was a high probability that it wouldn't be recovered.

"I heard that thieves carry knives. So dangerous."

"They are all hooligans that would risk their lives. If you catch up with them, who knows what will happen."

Hearing this, Xu Xiao Jiao's expression changed. She thought about what she had forgotten. Song Wei Ping was using his bare hands. It would be too dangerous if the other party really carried a knife.

"Song Wei Ping! Come back quickly!" she shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Wei Ping took a step forward and kicked the thief's bicycle down.

"Oh!" "How mighty!" "That young man ran so fast!"

Before the exclaims could finish, the thief who fell to the ground spat out and took out a bright fruit knife from his pocket.

Everyone gasped. The people nearby all took a few steps back. Although the people near Xu Xiao Jiao were far away, they were also consciously afraid.

"My my, they really have a knife."

"It's too dangerous. Little Miss, hurry up and get your match come back. Life is more important."

"That's a knife."

Ever since she saw the fruit knife, Xu Xiao Jiao's legs felt weak and she couldn't stand. If the auntie next to her hadn't quickly supported her with her quick hands, she would have fallen down long ago.

Xu Xiao Jiao desperately wanted to call Song Wei Ping, but she couldn't even speak.

She didn't know if she called Song Wei Ping's name, but she saw the man holding the knife move forward. Song Wei Ping advanced instead of retreating. The moment the two figures crossed each other, Xu Xiao Jiao's heart almost jumped out of her throat.

She closed her eyes tightly and took two rapid breaths before opening her eyes and breaking away from the auntie who was supporting her. She ran toward Song Wei Ping.

"Hey, miss, don't go there. It's dangerous."

"You’ll only add trouble for your match."

The auntie was busy trying to hold Xu Xiao Jiao back.

Xu Xiao Jiao turned a deaf ear and looked straight at Song Wei Ping.

From a distance, Song Wei Ping seemed to sense something. He turned around and glanced at Xu Xiao Jiao. Xu Xiao Jiao didn't see his movements clearly. In a few steps, the thief was already lying on the ground, motionless.

"Song Wei Ping, Song Wei Ping!" She rushed over in one breath, tears streaming down her face, "You’re seeking death, Song Wei Ping!"

Not missing an area, she examined Song Wei Ping, "Are you okay? Are you okay?"

Song Wei Ping reached out to wipe her tears, "It's okay, don't be afraid."

"What's okay! Little Miss, your match's right arm was stabbed by the thief. I saw it!" Several vendors nearby were working together to tie up the unconscious thief. After hearing this, they shouted to let Xu Xiao Jiao know.

Xu Xiao Jiao reached out and felt the sticky feeling on his arm. He was really hurt.

"We will send this thief to the police station. You should take your match to the hospital quickly. Better not be the muscles or anything hurt." That vendor was very enthusiastic.

Xu Xiao Jiao couldn't care about anything else, "Song Wei Ping, go to the hospital quickly."

The hospital wasn't far away. After a lot of trouble, Song Wei Ping received six stitches on his right arm. Fortunately, it was a flesh injury and he would recover after a while of nurture. Nothing else was serious.

When the stitches were being stitched, Xu Xiao Jiao didn't even dare to look. She felt pain just by the thought alone.

After the gauze was wrapped, she touched it gently and said, "Song Wei Ping, does it hurt?"

They were having a good time playing, but it was spoiled. At the sight of her little face paling with fright, Song Wei Ping felt heartbroken for a moment and coaxed her with a gentle voice, "It doesn't hurt. Don't be afraid."

Xu Xiao Jiao's heart was in a state of turmoil. Only now, she slowly came back to her senses. Fear and anger began to rise. Xu Xiao Jiao raised her foot and kicked Song Wei Ping, "Song Wei Ping, you want to die? That thief had a knife and even took it out! And you still approach! Don’t you know to run away? You scared me to death! You scared me to death, you know?”

As she spoke, her tears fell again, "If something happens to you, have you ever thought about grandmother and me? And Mom and Xiao Gang! You bastard!"

Song Wei Ping hugged her and let her beat her.

After she vented her emotions and sobbed in his arms, Song Wei Ping responded to her warmly, "It’s my fault. I didn't expect him to bring a knife with him. But I have learned some fighting skills. I wouldn’t approach if I’m not certain. Nothing happened, no? Don’t cry."

Xu Xiao Jiao had completely lost her strength. She raised her head in dissatisfaction, "What nothing! You are injured and need six stitches."

Her eyes that had been crying were still covered with water. She looked extremely pitiful. Song Wei Ping lowered his head and pressed a kiss on her eyes, "It's nothing. I won't do it again. Don't cry anymore. Be good."

Xu Xiao Jiao let out a sob and stood up from his arms, "Hmph, it’ll be fine if you don't snatch back the camera? You made me so worried. Song Wei Ping, I was really scared. I couldn't even speak. I want to call you, but can’t.”

Song Wei Ping touched her cheek, "There are photos you took of me inside. I don't want to lose them."

When taking pictures, all she saw was him. It was a gift she gave him and he wanted to keep it.

There were also photos of the two of them. The photos he took of her when he took her to the river and played in the mountains were all precious.

There was no photo development shop here. The two of them have already agreed that the next time they go out together, they will develop the photos, buy a big photo album, and fill it up slowly.

After Xu Xiao Jiao heard what he said, she recalled how he often held the camera and looked through the photos inside. As long as she took pictures of him, he would look at them many times.

"Fool, I'll take pictures of you later."

Xu Xiao Jiao lowered her head and gently tapped the gauze on Song Wei Ping's arm. In her mind, she repeated again: fool.

Overnight, they went to the police station to complete the transcript. The next day, Song Wei Ping wanted to take her to play for another day. No matter, Xu Xiao Jiao refused, "You are injured, play what? Go home and recuperate, idiot!"

Song Wei Ping felt that she didn’t get a chance to properly play, but he also knew that she was worried, "We didn’t get to watch a movie again. I'll bring you back next time."

Xu Xiao Jiao randomly mumbled a response. She didn't want to think about those things yet. The most important thing now was to heal Song Wei Ping's injury. With such a long wound and if it didn’t recover properly, it would become inflamed especially since the weather was slowly getting hotter. Then, there would be a lot of suffering.

"Go home, go home."

Neither Grandma Song nor Wu Chun Hua expected that they could get injured while playing in the county town.

Wu Chun Hua was particularly distressed, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't asked Xiao Jiao to drag you to the county city, you wouldn't have endure this crime."

Song Wei Ping expressed he was fine, "Mom, don't worry, the skin and flesh injuries will heal in a few days."

After hearing the whole story, Grandma Song felt relieved when she saw that her grandson had no other injuries. "Ping boy is a very lucky person. It’s good that nothing happened."

After returning home, Xu Xiao Jiao was no longer as useless as she had been last night. She began to praise Song Wei Ping in front of her family, "You don't know, Song Wei Ping is very powerful. Even when the thief had such a long knife, he wasn’t afraid. In goes a few punches and kicks and the thief’s eyes spun and fainted."

At Xu Xiao Gang's current age, it was the peak time for hero complex. Hearing this, he hurriedly pestered Xu Xiao Jiao and asked her to tell the story again.

Xu Xiao Jiao's eloquence was already great. On top of that, she deliberately wanted to establish Song Wei Ping's heroic image. As the story was told, both Grandma Song and Wu Chun Hua were fascinated.

"At that time, there were more than one person shouting around. When they saw your Elder Brother-in-law knocking the thief unconscious, they swarmed up and tied up the thief. They all praised your Elder Brother-in-law for getting rid of harm to the people."

"Later, when they arrived at the police station, we found out that the thief had done a lot of bad things. In the past month, many people had called the police. He stole people's earrings, necklaces, wallets, and bicycles. He relied on his speed of cycling. And he carries a knife. Even if someone could catch up with him, he could scare them away by showing the knife. He happened to hide well. The police searched for several days but couldn't find him."

"The police comrade even praised your Elder Brother-in-law. The victims even wrote a letter of thanks to your Elder Brother-in-law together overnight."

Song Wei Ping drank water while listening to Xu Xiao Jiao talk about what happened yesterday. The whole process was thrilling. In Xu Xiao Jiao's words, he simply became a hero who outsmarted gangsters and eliminated harm for the people.

Song Wei Ping lowered his eyes and smiled. Xiao Jiao Jiao, who was scared to tears yesterday, was full of life and energy again today and started to praise him. Have to say, this feeling wasn’t bad.

After Xu Xiao Gang listened, he felt that Song Wei Ping's height in his heart was so high that he couldn't even look up, "Elder Brother-in-law, you are so amazing!"

He suddenly jumped up and performed several punching and kicking actions. "Elder Brother-in-law, were you like this? Like the martial arts masters on television, you defeat the bad guys in a few strokes. When I meet the bad guys, I will fight like this too!"

Grandma Song and Wu Chun Hua hurriedly said, "Don't dare. You better not dare. You have such a small body."

Unconvinced, Xu Xiao Gang puffed out his chest, "What's wrong with me? I'm also very powerful."

Xu Xiao Jiao laughed at her, "You are far from your Elder Brother-in-law. Your Elder Brother-in-law has learned some fighting skills from others and has a good foundation. With your three-legged cat skills, you got to run away from bad guys when you see them, understand?"

Grandma Song and Wu Chun Hua both nodded.

Seeing that Xu Xiao Gang was a little frustrated, Song Wei Ping put down the water glass and said, "When I’m better, I will teach you a few tricks. If you practice more, you will become better and better in the future."

Xu Xiao Gang was immediately elated, "Yeah! Elder Brother-in-law, you are the best."

Everyone started laughing.

No matter how thrilling the process was, Song Wei Ping was injured in the end. Although Wu Chun Hua was frightened, she was very concerned about Song Wei Ping's injury this time. She didn't let him do any work and cooked in different ways every day to nurture her son-in-law well.

Sometimes when she was busy, Xu Xiao Gang volunteered to cook. He was now very good at cooking and the food he cooked tasted great.

Xu Xiao Jiao also had an errand. Song Wei Ping's right arm, which he usually used most, was injured. She couldn't help with food and drink, but she had to help him with dressing and undressing morning and night.

After only two days of doing this job, Xu Xiao Jiao couldn't stand it anymore. She had reasonable doubts that dog Song Wei Ping was deliberately trying to seduce her!

Chapter 58  Team building camp 18

With Xiang Chen taking the lead, Jian Cang didn't mind enlarging the drama and said positively, "I want to know too!"

Ye Yuanyu looked at them expressionlessly. The few avoided his gaze. They were determined not to change their minds.

The audience couldn’t stop laughing:

【You are all really good friends. 】

Xiang Chen looked at Shu Hua who felt guilty and encouraged her gently, "You have to submit it sooner or later anyway. It's the same if you submit it now. If not, he might keep an eye on you from now until the end."

Shu Hua felt the pressure from Ye Yuanyu and felt that what Xiang Chen said was quite right. Anyway, extending the head was the same as shrinking it. The earlier it ended, the earlier it was over. So she raised her hand and said, "Deducing the truth of Li Er's death."

The director gave her a truth card. She explained to everyone while writing it: "Witnesses claimed that Li Er was dragged into the water while fishing. In fact, he wasn't dragged into the water by a fish, by someone." She picked up the fishing rod and tore open the black non-slip material on the handle of the fishing rod, revealing a thin layer of air bags wrapped inside. "It was filled with super glue. It will be pinched broken once force is applied."

"The murderer knew Li Er's hobby of fishing and was familiar with the model of his fishing rod. So he prepared a tampered fishing rod handle with the same appearance in advance. When clueless Li Er took it to fish, the murderer dived into the water, grabbed Li Er's fishhook and made him think that a fish was taking the bait. Then Li Er will unconsciously hold the handle tightly. The air bag would be crushed and the strong glue inside would flow out, firmly sticking Li Er's hand with the handle of the fishing rod. At this time, the murderer dragged him into the water with more force."

She gestured as if her hands were bound, "Li Er's hands were stuck to the fishing rod and he couldn't swim at all. So as long as the murderer pulled the fishing line to prevent him from coming out of the water, he would drown."

"Who is the murderer?" Jian Cang asked.

Shu Hua picked up the diving suit, "Li Er was very thin, while Zhang San was of medium build. Only Wang Yi, who was tall and strong, could wear this diving suit. So Wang Yi wore the diving suit and went to the bottom of the water to pull Li Er down and drag him into the lake and kill him."

Xiang Chen raised a question, "Even if his hands were tied, Li Er would struggle and flail around when he fell into the water. It would be eye-catching. Moreover, the size of this diving suit can only prove that the diving suit belongs to Wang Yi, how can it prove that it was him who entered the water to kill people? What if he likes diving? "

"Also, people under water may not have that much strength to pull a person on land down." Xiang Chen said, "The most important thing is that the time period when Li Er disappeared, there are surveillance videos and Mahjong friends that can prove Wang Yi was indeed playing mahjong and he has an alibi."

Shu Hua was caught out by this question. She couldn't help but look at Ye Yuanyu.

Xiang Chen grinned, "So you didn't deduce the complete logical chain of Li Er's murder. The evidence is incomplete. You realized that it was part of the evidence when you saw Ye Yuanyu taking the diving suit and then grabbed it? How did you grab it? What was your mental journey and what was the specific process? Please describe it in detail."

Shu Hua:......

Everyone:...

【Hahaha, as expected, he is waiting here. Those who didn’t know better would assume he is going to seek justice for Ye Yuanyu. 】

【On the surface, Lawyer Xiang: Come, tell me and I will comment on it for you; In fact, Lawyer Xiang: Quickly describe the scene at that time to satisfy my curiosity. 】

【Lawyer Xiang is truly unsatisfied with not being able to see the scene and exploit the interrogation process. 】

【This topic was brought up very naturally and there is nothing wrong with it. 】

【In fact, we are willing to listen again. Lawyer Xiang, as a lawyer, you should investigate the truth rigorously. 】

Ye Yuanyu finally couldn't resist the urge to grab Xiang Chen's neck and pressed him on his lap. Xiang Chen burst into laughter. Jian Cang was booing next to him, and everyone laughed.

However, probably due to wanting to get rid of these harmful friends’ mockery as soon as possible, Ye Yuanyu gave a complete chain of evidence afterward.

"First of all, Wang Yi was too deliberate about taking a shower because of the hot weather. Even if the weather is hot, there is air conditioning in the room. So he wouldn't be too hot from sitting still and needed to take a shower. On the one hand, his purpose was to go out and take action; on the other hand, in order to create an alibi for himself." 

He took out a USB flash drive and handed it to the director, "Please turn on the surveillance video."

Shu Hua was surprised, "How come you have this?"

Ye Yuanyu glanced at her and said calmly, "I got it from the shop owner. Didn't he say? The mahjong friends had a deep impression of him that day and there was surveillance video to confirm that he was at home."

Embarrassed, Shu Hua rubbed her nose.

The director opened the video. Ye Yuanyu took the remote control to control the progress of the video, "This is obviously in the living room of the Lakeview Courtyard. First of all, this is an unusual place. The three of them came here to hunt for treasure. Since they arrived on the island not long ago, they aren’t familiar with the people on the island at all. How could Wang Yi invite four-five people to play mahjong at home? This is one of those deliberate points. Secondly, the time he left to take a shower was 10:30. The time he came back was 11:10. He disappeared for half an hour. As we all know, men aren’t that slow when it comes to showering."

"It wouldn't even take a minute to run to reach the lake from the lake view courtyard. So within half an hour, Wang Yi finished putting on his diving suit, went to the lake, went into the water, dragged Li Er into the water, came back, took off his diving suit, and took a quick shower in the bathroom. Of course, this process sounded a bit tight. Especially when dragging Li Er into the water shouldn't be that easy. But what if he used tools?" Ye Yuanyu picked up another small iron piece, "This is the remains of the underwater propeller."

"Wang Yi first induced Li Er to pinch the handle of the fishing rod to stick his hand and the fishing rod together. Then tie the fishing line to the underwater propeller and start it. The speed and power of the underwater propeller are enough to pull people into the water at once and not let Li Er have a chance to react or struggle."

"The most important thing is that the underwater propulsion speed is very fast. Wang Yi does not need to drive it himself. Whether it is for the purpose of destroying evidence or because he is in a hurry, he only needs to adjust the direction of the underwater propeller and directly let the propeller take Li Er toward the center of Lake." He pointed to the crooked and pulpy place on the top of the fishing rod, "This can explain why the strong carbon fiber fishing rod becomes like this. Because it is entangled in the propeller."

"Probably for this reason, Li Er wasn't taken very far and was brought back by the tide. Of course, the most important evidence is here," Ye Yuanyu fixed the video after Wang Yi came out of the shower, "Look around his eyes."

Jian Cang leaned over and took a closer look, wondering, "What's there?"

Xiang Chen said, "There are indentations."

"Yes, this is an indentation in the shape of a diving goggle," Ye Yuanyu said. "Although he completed the entire murder process in half an hour, it was precisely because of the short time that he pretended to take a shower in the bathroom and the indentation on the face hadn’t faded."

Xiang Chen lamented, "He deliberately left this video to prove his alibi, but didn't expect it to be the most critical evidence."

Ye Yuanyu submitted the truth card and the director said, "The reasoning is correct, please submit the evidence."

Ye Yuanyu paused. The USB flash drive had been handed in. The rest... He turned back to look at Shu Hua.

Shu Hua picked up the fishing rod and diving suit warily, mulled over it, and discussed, "I found the reasoning and evidence about the fishing rod. Shouldn’t I get some points?"

Ye Yuanyu didn't speak. Shu Hua gestured to a 7. After thinking about it, she reluctantly changed it to a 5 and said cautiously, "Just divide it into half."

Jian Cang said, "But you tore off the other party’s clothes. Aren't you allowed to pay some compensation?"

Ye Yuanyu:......

Shu Hua stretched out her hand to hit Jian Cang, and pushed out her gritted teeth, "No one will treat you as a mute if you don't speak,!"

Everyone laughed. Shu Hua became depressed from their laughter. She got up and gave the fishing rod and diving suit to the director. The director took out 15 points and was about to give them to Ye Yuanyu. Shu Hua quickly grabbed them. Seeing Ye Yuanyu looking at her, she carefully took 5 points. After a moment of hesitation, she put back 1 point, handed over the rest, and said pitifully, "It can't be any less. I at least helped you carry the evidence back, right?"

【Hahaha, our Huahua is so pitiful. After being busy for a long time, she ended up making wedding clothes for others. 】

【Yeah, fishing rods and wetsuits were so hard to get. 】

【Huahua, so what if you robbed him? In the worst case scenario, just tear off his clothes again. Who's afraid of who? 】

【ABove, your abacus bead is all off my face, haha. 】

Obviously there was more than one person planning this. Xiang Chen encouraged Shu Hua warmly, "Shu Hua, you are too careful. Even if you take everything, can he still take it from you?"

Seeing that Shu Hua was really hesitant, Ye Yuanyu quickly took the 11 points and walked back.

Shu Hua felt heartbroken when she saw this, "I think I should get at least 5."

Ye Yuanyu quickened his pace and sat next to Xiang Chen, hooking his hand around his neck to stop him from speaking again. He directly asked Jian Cang, "Have you found your treasure map?"

Zhou Feifei, who never had a chance to speak, said quickly, "Found it. You will never guess where it is."

She turned around and asked Qin Shiyu with a smile, "Can you guess it?"

Qin Shiyu looked at Jiang Yu, "Where do you think it is?"

Jiang Yu contemplated and said, "Probably somewhere that can only be seen after the tide goes out."

Jian Cang snapped his fingers, "Bingo! That’s right, in a reef!"

"His poem was adapted from Yang Pan's "On the Qiantang River", which hints at the tide. The last sentence, 'The strong man’s dream has been in the eyes of everyone for several years.' It means that the treasure map of those pursuing on becoming a strong man is hidden among a bunch of eyes. The reef has many eyes?"

Xiang Chen broke free from Ye Yuanyu's clutches and said with a smile, "Li Er's treasure map is indeed very clever. Not to mention that other people don't understand the tides, one had to find it within a specific hour or two. How amazing.”

Zhou Feifei grinned, "But we still found it." 

She got up and submitted the treasure map. When she came back, she and Jian Cang and  Xiang Chen shared 25 points.

"In the end, all that's left is Wang Yi's treasure map and the reasoning behind Zhang San's death." Xiang Chen looked at Jiang Yu and Qin Shiyu, "Have you found them all?"

Qin Shiyu directly took out Wang Yi's treasure map.

Jiang Yu said, "The photo Wang Yi gave is a partial photo of the tiles. The treasure map is hidden on the tiles on the roof."

"Ah! It turned out to be the tiles on the roof!" Jian Cang said depressedly, "I was thinking since Wang Yi likes darkness under the light, it should be hidden somewhere at home. I looked at all the cyan places. Why didn't I think of it tiles?! Ahhh, missed out on 25 points."

Xiang Chen comforted him with a smile, "Aren't you afraid of heights? Even if you know it's on the roof, you may not dare to go up. These 25 points are destined not to belong to you. Thinking like this, you don’t feel sad right?"

Jian Cang let out a fake cry and said, "Even more sad. Elder Brother Chen, even if you don't know how to comfort people, why are you still giving a knife?"  

Everyone laughed.

Qin Shiyu received the truth card amidst their laughter and began to reason about the cause of Zhang San's death. He first concluded: "The murderer is Li Er."

The group sighed. Xiang Chen said, "The case of serial murders within the treasure hunting group; Wang Yi killed Li Er, Li Er killed Zhang San, and Zhang San killed Wang Yi. It's brilliant."

Jian Cang said, "That's not right. Wasn't Li Er already dead at that time?"

Qin Shiyu replied, "En, he made a delay mechanism." 

He took out a fishing line, a rubber warp and three iron nails, as well as the broken ship plank and the mineral water bottle with the plastic piece of fishing line. .

Qin Shiyu pointed to the fishing line and nails and said, "Li Er knew that Zhang San would sit opposite the window of the west bedroom every evening to enjoy the lake view. So he fixed the gun on the roof of the west bedroom with a fishing line and nails in advance. Using the green plants, he aimed at the chair where Zhang San usually sits. 

Then he pointed at the rubber band, "At the same time, an automatic device for pulling the trigger was made."

"The next most critical thing is how to trigger the mechanism to pull the trigger at a set time while destroying the corpses and traces of the gun fixed on the roof."

Jian Cang looked at the broken ship planks and mineral water bottles curiously, "Is it made of these? I can't even figure it out with the evidence here. How can this be done?"

Qin Shiyu said, "Using the tide."

"Li Er understood the laws of tides very well. The lake will ebb at around five o'clock every day in July, which is the time for Zhang San to enjoy the sunset."

"Although the tide of the lake isn’t as powerful as the tide of the sea, it is more than enough to take away a plastic bottle." Qin Shiyu picked up the plastic bottle and placed the plastic piece at the bottom into the frame where the battery was placed on the broken ship. "

"Residents on the island often use this kind of electric boat as a means of transportation. So it isn’t unusual to park it on the shore. Li Er inserted this plastic piece into one pole of the electric paddle battery, which is equivalent to making a second switch."

"He turned on the switch of the electric propeller. Because the plastic sheet was insulated, the electric boat still hadn’t started. But when the tide receded and the plastic bottles floated away, the thin plastic sheet would be dragged away bit by bit. At this time, the electric propeller started, the boat slid out quickly, and the fishing line tightened. This not only pulled the mechanism on the shotgun trigger, but also dragged the gun directly into the lake, destroying the body and leaving no trace."

Shu Hua said, "Ah, the traces of the snake in Wang Yi's diary weren’t snakes at all. It’s traces of the gun being dragged away."

"Fudge, it can still be like this! Whether it's hiding treasures or killing people, Li Er has made full use of the tide."

The director team announced: "The reasoning is correct and the evidence is conclusive."

Qin Shiyu came back with 40 points. Without dividing, he handed them directly to Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu had given up resisting. Without saying anything, she picked it up and put it into her small bag.

Jian Cang looked at her bulging bag and remarked with envy, "Elder Sister Yu, how many points do you have in that!"

Zhou Feifei grinned, "Will the one with the most points treat us to meat tonight?!"

Jian Cang was excited, "Wow, this is a good idea. Eat meat! Eat meat!"

Jiang Yu nodded in agreement, "Okay."

When she said this, everyone else was stunned for a moment. Didn't she have the most points?

Everyone started to lower their heads and count their points. As they were counting, Jian Cang suddenly remembered something, "Is there one treasure map we haven't submitted yet?"

Shu Hua remembered, "Zhang San's treasure map!"

They both looked at Xiang Chen and Ye Yuanyu at the same time. Jian Cang asked, "Which one of you got Zhang San's treasure map?"

Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen looked at each other. The two people who had been hurting each other now reached a tacit understanding of a united front. Xiang Chen grinned, "Guess?"

Jiang Yu immediately said, "Are there any points for guessing correctly?"

Shu Hua, who had the fewest points, suddenly became energetic, "Yeah, you've been leaving us hanging for so long and be a clown for you to laugh at for nothing? Give points for guessing correctly." She mulled over it and stated, "It's not much. 5!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Yuanyu stood up and walked toward the director, "Submit the treasure map."

Shu Hua:......

【Hahaha, want to scam? No way. 】
