Chapter 147: Chapter 147

Weren’t all the drones powered off?

He had specifically checked several of them last night, and indeed they were all turned off.

But the way the people around him were looking at him...

"Tell us, why did you do it?"

Fu Xiao: "I didn’t..."

"You did. The poison you used is the sap of a specific toxic plant, which is very similar to the components of miasma. But you didn’t know that this stuff has a characteristic: any part of the body that comes into contact with it will develop a red rash!"

Fu Xiao subconsciously looked at his own hand!

Clean and clear, without any abnormalities.

"You’re talking nonsense, my hand..."

"Well done, Fu Xiao! It really was you!"

The director’s face turned livid with anger.

"Arrest him! As soon as we reach shore, hand him over to the police!"

He was absolutely furious. One show, and they had invited two people with ulterior motives!

Fortunately, they didn’t succeed. Had they actually succeeded, his career as a director would have been over.

[The production team is wild! They actually broadcasted this live!]

[Bai Zhi already surprised me enough, but I didn’t expect Fu Xiao to be even worse! Targeting all the guests!]

[What is this mess! Can anyone just enter the entertainment industry? Is the entry threshold that low?]

[So Bai Zhi is the Piano Princess, huh? What kind of princess is so malicious!]

[I’m so disgusted with them!]

[Sister is the best! Escape from Desperate Island, this show is incredible. Turns out the real desperation isn’t the harsh climate of the island, but the unpredictable human heart!]

As the director watched the live viewing numbers break a hundred million, he contemplated whether to say the closing words and end the live broadcast. Just then, An Yan spoke up again:

"Teacher Abei, do you have anything to say? After all, both of them were members of your team."

"This is my mistake. If I had remained vigilant the entire time, maybe these things could have been avoided. Miss An Yan, I’m sorry. And to everyone else, I, Abei, have let you down."

"The production team invited me to ensure everyone’s safety, yet I failed to do so..."

An Yan raised her hand, signaling for him to stop. "Let’s skip these words; they’re meaningless. Instead, why don’t you tell everyone how you silently informed Bai Zhi about the method to catch snakes?"

"And how you silently made Fu Xiao understand what could produce a poison in the cave similar to miasma!"

Various crew members: "???"

The director was shocked. Two weren’t enough; there was another one?

What kind of luck was this?

An Yan didn’t keep them in suspense and said directly, "This is a competition! The team that Teacher Abei led was a drag; none of them were sincerely trying to win. But for Teacher Abei and Teacher Anan, it was a real competition."

"They both wanted to secure a cooperation deal with a certain sports brand, and the condition set by the brand was that whoever wins this competition gets the partnership!"

"So when Abei was sure he couldn’t win, he started to think of other methods..."

"Miss An Yan, do you have any evidence?" the director asked.

An Yan shook her head. "Nope! But Fu Xiao and Bai Zhi should have some, right? What did you guys hear from Teacher Abei?"

Fu Xiao knew he couldn’t escape and immediately spoke up. "Miss An Yan is right. I don’t know much about miasma; I just know it’s poisonous. It was Teacher Abei who told me that miasma is formed by the decay of animal and plant corpses. On the decaying corpses grows a kind of poisonous grass, whose sap contains components similar to those of the miasma. Once inhaled, it causes symptoms of poisoning, and in severe cases, can be life-threatening..."

After the explanation, everyone’s gaze towards Abei changed.

Anan frowned. "How can you use such rhetoric to deliberately imply the guests should do evil?"

Abei: "When did I imply anything? Since the guests acknowledged me as their leader and joined the show, what’s wrong with sharing my knowledge with them?"

"You’re clever, but there are plenty of examples in this world of people being outsmarted by their own cleverness. Teacher Abei, everyone can see clearly. Whether or not you were implying anything, each person has their own judgment!"

As An Yan spoke, she looked towards the camera and sighed. "I don’t know if you have people around you—those who don’t dirty their own hands but use various hints to make others do their bidding, using human nature to achieve their goals while keeping themselves spotlessly clean!"

"I suggest that if you meet such a person in real life, don’t be polite. Just confront them directly!"

"We’re all just human; why should we be manipulated by you?"

No sooner had An Yan’s voice fallen than a SMACK sounded from behind her.

Jiang Xiaoze had slapped Bai Zhi across the face!

She had been wanting Bai Zhi to admit her mistake and apologize to her, but Bai Zhi just wouldn’t!

If Bai Zhi didn’t admit it, once Jiang Xiaoze returned to the company, she would definitely be punished, since her groveling over Bai Zhi had damaged her own image.

Jiang Xiaoze wasn’t like Bai Zhi and An Yan, who had family and background.

She entered this circle solely to make money, and it had not been easy to climb to where she was today. If her contract was terminated, she would be finished.

Just as she was feeling helpless about Bai Zhi, she heard An Yan’s words and decided to go all out!

Getting some satisfaction before getting fired was worth it, after all!

Bai Zhi hadn’t expected Jiang Xiaoze to dare to hit her and was furious. But considering it was a live broadcast and that she couldn’t afford any more controversial actions, she restrained her emotions. She only tried to pinch Jiang Xiaoze, hidden by her body.

As soon as Jiang Xiaoze saw her trying to fight back, she quickly ran to An Yan’s side.

Bai Zhi didn’t dare to run up to An Yan and hit someone, especially since the memory of An Yan crushing the Stone Carving with one hand was too impactful for her.

So she turned her anger towards Abei. "It’s all your fault!"

If it hadn’t been for Abei telling her about Green Tail, she wouldn’t have hinted at Jiang Xiaoze to use her, nor would she have been played by An Yan .

At that moment, Bai Zhi completely forgot that she had resolved to deal with An Yan on the show from the moment she saw her join.

She forgot that when she had hinted to Jiang Xiaoze that An Yan had tampered with Jiang Xiaoze’s mosquito repellent, Abei hadn’t said anything at all.

She was just desperately trying to pin the blame on Abei.

She thought that by doing so, she would shoulder less responsibility.

As soon as Bai Zhi spoke up, Fu Xiao immediately followed. "Abei, it was you! I can’t believe I was used by you!"

Fu Xiao felt relieved. He was thankful An Yan was smart enough; otherwise, he probably wouldn’t have thought to make Abei the scapegoat either!

The real victims—Mo Shiyan, Meng Rui, and Anan—didn’t say anything. Instead, it was the two perpetrators who were filled with righteous indignation and fury.

An Yan found it rather amusing. "Fu Xiao, why don’t you tell us why you did what you did?"
