Chapter 61: Chapter 061: Are Your Connections Strong? Chapter 61: Chapter 061: Are Your Connections Strong? Underwater operations went awry, and Director Li was even more anxious than Liu Su.
“Brother Liu, don’t panic yet. Our underwater photographer is a professional diver and will find Shen Yan soon.”
Director Li was soothing Liu Su.
Just as Liu Su was about to start berating someone, the assistant director’s voice came through, “We’ve found them! Shen Yan and Wen Yan appeared in Zhou Jingming’s livestream, both unharmed, as are the others. The photographer following Shen Yan and Wen Yan has already caught up, so no one needs to worry.”
Liu Su immediately ran over.
And sure enough, he saw the underwater footage.
Shen Yan appeared on the live broadcast screen with Wen Yan, alongside Zhou Jingming and Qin Dingyue.
They greeted each other kindly and then each swam to the opposite side to avoid any underwater conflicts.
The cameraman following them had reset the frame on Shen Yan and Wen Yan, who were carrying a large package, clearly already having made a haul.
Underwater, there were no traces left behind.
To find ingredients, one had to rely on their own skills.
Now, no one could accuse Shen Yan of surviving by pulling strings.
Seeing Shen Yan’s footage again, Fireworks fans almost cried with joy.
[Yanyan is okay, really, that’s such a relief!]
[Did anyone notice that the footage just now was a bit strange? According to my analysis, something entangled around Yanyan’s neck, and it must be related to those two above.]
[Yes, I’ve been staring at that footage the whole time, feeling like Mu Jincheng and Emperor Tao were acting strangely.]
[If it wasn’t on purpose, then it was an attempted murder, right?]
After all, one’s a popularity star and the other an emperor of the screen.
Fireworks fans dared not discuss it too excessively.
The comments became a bit quiet.
Then they tacitly switched to other topics.
[Wen Yan acts like such a little wife, following fearfully right behind Yanyan!]
[Wen Yan is really bold, daring to go underwater without knowing how to swim!]
[Said he couldn’t swim before, isn’t that just a lie? Typically, people afraid of water avoid it at all costs.]
[Dizzy, Wen Yan only said he couldn’t swim; he never said he feared water.]
[Just walk at the bottom, now with Shen Yan leading, of course, Wen Yan isn’t scared.]
[Swimming is really simple.]
[Right, I jump into the water, and in three days, I can float up.]
[Hahaha! Actually, non-swimmers can just relax their bodies and still float on the water waiting for rescue!]
On the screen.
Shen Yan and Wen Yan luckily found a second package.
Though they had several missed attempts, securing two bags meant they won.
Shen Yan no longer searched for other packages, but rather started grabbing at the riverbed’s algae and various weeds, fumbling around, unclear what she was doing.
When she pulled out several medium-sized crabs, everyone chuckled knowingly.
Each diver had been equipped with a net bag for carrying items when they descended.
Shen Yan opened hers and began filling it up.
Wen Yan, clutching two bags, carefully followed behind.
At a glance, he indeed looked just like a little wife trailing behind Shen Yan!
Shen Yan felt around the muddy crevices and surprisingly fished out several large prawns.
Afterward, she didn’t lift them up to show the camera, but simply tossed them directly into the net bag.
She quickly gathered quite a variety of groceries.
Fish, shrimp, river crabs, and a good amount of aquatic plants were all put in.
So, even though the camera lens was pushed up close, it was still unclear what was packed inside.
[Yanyan is really capable, even genuine villagers couldn’t manage what she does.]
[What on earth is there that Yanyan can’t do?]
[Talking nonsense here, just like Fake Princess’s song last time, completely tone-deaf and the lyrics were utterly nonsensical.]
[It’s Black again, let’s see you try singing one.]
[Any ordinary person could do better than Fake Princess, even if it’s staged.]
“Regarding the Fake Princess playing the piano on live stream, I suspect she used a playback and even hilariously invited that washed-up musician to boost her popularity.”
“The tricks of the Fake Princess are plentiful, why didn’t she drown in the water just now?”
“If it were me, I would have taken her down in the water.”
“Black fans are toxic, aren’t they? Making criminal verbal attacks, these should be sued one by one.”
“Come on… let your Fake Princess sue me then!”
“Damn, I really want to crawl through the internet cable and beat someone up.”
*
The underwater task had everyone on edge from start to finish.
Watching each guest emerge from the water, Director Li and others breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Yan and Wen Yan were the last to come ashore.
The fastest to get ashore was Tao Rongye, who was excessively scared.
As soon as he got ashore, Wen Yan, pale-faced, removed his diving mask and started violently vomiting everything he had eaten in the morning.
Shen Yan patted his back and called someone to help Wen Yan away.
Chu Jing and the others weren’t faring much better; if she wasn’t afraid of ruining her image on camera, she would have vomited just like Wen Yan.
Suppressing psychological fear for too long, relaxation after coming out resulted in vomiting, which was normal.
Shen Yan put the net bag and two packages she collected into the foam boxes prepared by the crew; Director Li came over to see Shen Yan and Wen Yan’s catch, his mouth twitching.
Shen Yan truly didn’t disappoint.
Besides grabbing two packages, she managed to capture so many good items; she must be wild at heart.
Otherwise, how could she be so good at wild capturing?
Mu Jincheng was worried about Chu Jinghe and had already followed them.
Qin Dingyue was still happy about their package, but when Shen Yan’s catch was revealed, it instantly slapped her in the face.
Truly worthy of the person she admired!
Always so impressively compelling!
“Yanyan, you, you’re really amazing!” Qin Dingyue ran over, her eyes sparkling as she stared at Shen Yan!
Zhou Jingming laughed, “We thought we were sure to win, but we didn’t expect to still lose to you. However, compared to the other groups, we were lucky too.”
“Cough cough…”
Tao Rongye touched his neck, his face extremely pale.
Director Li then realized the urgency, quickly calling people to check on Tao Rongye; the clear strangulation mark on his neck made everyone gasp.
Tao Rongye’s fans in the live stream were cursing the show crew fiercely.
Shen Yan stood beside the large box, turning to look back at Tao Rongye.
She also raised her hand to touch the shocking rope mark on her fair neck, which due to her pale and delicate skin, even bled at the touch.
It looked as if she had acquired another head, more severe than Tao Rongye’s.
Fireworks fans were furious for Shen Yan; why was Tao Rongye getting the show crew’s attention when no one noticed Shen Yan’s injury?
Shen Yan’s wound looked even more severe than Tao Rongye’s.
Tao Rongye was so shocked by Shen Yan’s gaze and action that he stiffened.
His face turned even paler.
Liu Su hurried over, taking Shen Yan to change out of her diving suit, then treating the wounds on her neck.
He didn’t know how anxious he had been throughout this process, having almost called Qi Si several times.
After changing into regular clothes, Shen Yan sat in the medical tent letting the doctor apply medicine to her neck.
The doctor, seeing Shen Yan being silent the whole time as if it weren’t her own injuries, couldn’t help but inwardly praise her.
He had thought her a delicate actress; her pain tolerance was many times stronger than a man’s.
The coarse rope had torn the flesh on her neck, and applying medicine must have been excruciatingly painful.
Yet, Shen Yan acted as if nothing had happened.
After the gauze was wrapped, Liu Su checked for any other injuries before taking Shen Yan back to her tent.
After dismissing everyone else, Liu Su asked Shen Yan seriously, “Miss Shen, did you face any attack underwater?”
Shen Yan touched her neck, her voice calm, “Is Tao’s network in the entertainment industry very strong?”
Liu Su was puzzled, “Miss Shen, why do you suddenly ask that?”
Shen Yan just smiled and remained silent.
Liu Su’s expression suddenly turned extremely grim, his eyes fierce, “It was Tao Rongye who did it!”
