Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 536: Ye Fei’s Suspicions

Xu Aoliang again leaned close to Tian Pengpo’s ear, speaking in a chilling voice: "Well, you tell me, is there or not?"

Tian Pengpo: "..."

"Alright!" An Haiyin saw Tian Pengpo was already scared enough, and rushed in to intervene.

"We are livestreaming, you should avoid mentioning things like murder or ghosts, or we’ll get taken down later." He said to Xu Aoliang.

Don’t you know how strict the regulations are now?

Xu Aoliang finally calmed down.

Even though she couldn’t see, Ye Fei could tell Tian Pengpo had been frightened just now.

"Old Tian is really scared of these things." A gentle female voice suddenly whispered in Ye Fei’s ear.

Completely unprepared, she was startled too.

Ye Fei shivered slightly, but unlike Tian Pengpo, she didn’t jump up like a scared pig.

"Oh, it’s me, Hua Ciyue," Hua Ciyue said.

"Hehe!" Ye Fei chuckled nervously, "Your voice is scarier than Xu Aoliang’s."

"Sounds like a female ghost, doesn’t it?" Xu Aoliang chimed in.

"I already said not to mention female ghosts again, and here you are mentioning them!" Huo Jiarong raised her hand and tapped Xu Aoliang on the head.

An Haiyin sighed and looked at the ceiling, feeling drained.

You’ve been told not to mention it, yet you both still did!

"I say everyone," said An Haiyin weakly, "Why don’t we take advantage of the time in the car to rest a bit? Recharge ourselves so we can better face the competition, right?"

"The upcoming competition will last for 6 hours. It’s not just a test of physical strength but also endurance. Plus, when night falls, the temperature drops. I see none of you have prepared any warm clothing or items, so it’s best to rest well now for a better state during the competition."

An Haiyin, although trying to stop Changping’s bunch of fools from saying anything unbroadcastable, was indeed speaking sense.

It reminded the contestants.

So, the people of Changping Academy stopped goofing around.

They quietly shut their eyes to rest.

"We’ve arrived, everyone can remove their blindfolds now." After some time, the contestants had all dozed off when An Haiyin’s amplified voice over the microphone suddenly reached them.

Everyone woke up and couldn’t wait to take off their blindfolds.

"Let’s adapt a bit first," said An Haiyin.

Having been blindfolded for so long, sudden exposure to light was bound to be uncomfortable.

Therefore, An Haiyin didn’t rush to turn on the lights.

He waited until their eyes felt more comfortable before turning on a weak light.

Once they adapted a bit more, he adjusted the lights to full brightness.

Once everyone seemed comfortable, he opened the window curtains.

Letting the outside light fully in.

Having spent a long time in the pitch-black car, it felt as if the whole night had passed when they saw the dazzling daylight.

Everyone got off the car, realizing they were now in the wilderness.

"Ye Fei, what’s on your mind?" Xue Jieyu noticed when Ye Fei got off the car, she didn’t bother observing the surroundings like the others.

"I’m thinking, if the competition is being held outdoors, what happens to the tickets that were sold earlier?" Ye Fei didn’t hide it, directly stating her concern.

"Huh?" Xue Jieyu hadn’t quite caught on yet.

"The competition tickets are divided into single-match tickets and season tickets. The season tickets started selling from the sea selection rounds. Single-match tickets were available right after last week’s competition results, with the sales channels opening immediately." Ye Fei explained.

"To my knowledge, the tickets for this match were sold out within a minute of opening sales channels last week. A large number of scalpers flooded in to grab the tickets. Actual spectators who managed to buy tickets weren’t many. Many had to purchase from scalpers."

"But regardless of the purchase channel, Changping has officially sold out all tickets, undoubtedly," Ye Fei said.

"Indeed." Xue Jieyu hadn’t quite processed it yet.

Others listened to Ye Fei and gathered around, momentarily stopping their survey of the environment.

Although not everyone immediately grasped Ye Fei’s point, they trusted her judgment.

Ye Fei hadn’t been wrong so far.

Ye Fei was a smart person, they knew.

If she weren’t, she wouldn’t have driven away Shi Jiumei and Ding Ruyun.

If she weren’t smart, Ye Fei would have been eliminated earlier.

With so many enemies, being anything but smart would have slowed her progress.

So when Ye Fei sensed something was off, the others followed.

"What have you noticed exactly?" Huo Jiarong asked while carrying her bone-cutting knife.

If she hadn’t pointed it at Ye Fei, the stance might have seemed like she was about to chop Ye Fei.

Usually, Huo Jiarong was a petite, pretty girl, yet when she picked up the knife, her aura grew fiercely aggressive.

"Don’t you get it? Today’s match tickets are already sold out, and the spectators bought tickets to watch us compete live. But now, we’ve been brought to the wild. Look around, there’s no way to set up stands for spectators to watch, is there?"

"Could they circle around here and set up audience seats for people to watch?" Ye Fei said, "If spectators can’t watch on-site, how will their paid tickets be handled?"

"Is it possible to gather viewers in a studio-like place and let them watch a big screen together? What’s the point of buying tickets then? The purpose of tickets is for live viewing; if watching via screen is the same, wouldn’t it be better to watch a livestream at home? You could snack, lounge on your sofa comfortably rather than sit on stiff, awkward chairs, right?" Ye Fei stated.

Everyone thought for a moment, indeed.

"So what do you think?" Hua Ciyue asked, "You wouldn’t mention this without good reason, right?"

Ye Fei looked up and around.

At this moment, none of the contestants knew, but the audience was anxious too.

"Xiao Fei might have found out?" The grandma exclaimed in surprise, "Is Xiao Fei actually that smart!"

Grandpa: "..."

Previously, he thought the young girl was silly.

How did she suddenly become so smart?

Perhaps it’s the wisdom of appearing foolish?

If the contestants had drones to fly up and capture aerial views, they would see that they’re still at the familiar venue, Wei Feng Stadium.

Except the previous two rounds were held in the Wei Feng Basketball Hall adjacent to Wei Feng Stadium.

Wei Feng Basketball Hall can accommodate 50,000 spectators.

Today, due to changes in competition format, the basketball hall was clearly unsuitable.

Thus, the venue shifted to the adjacent Wei Feng Stadium.

The audience sat high up in the stands.

Meanwhile, the stadium was transformed into a small jungle-like setting.

The wall at the end was composed of large screens stitched together.
