Even After My Death-Chapter 89 - 77: The Mysterious Flying Guest
Chapter 89: Chapter 77: The Mysterious Flying Guest
Jiang Ning felt that after sleeping on the yacht, her body seemed to have become lighter. She looked down at herself in confusion. Was the quality of sleep on a luxurious yacht that good? Could it be because of the white noise from the waves?
Jiang Ning had never been out to sea before, nor had she ever napped on a luxurious yacht. Seeing that everyone else also looked refreshed and full of energy, Jiang Ning’s doubts gradually dissipated.
The director stood on the deck, beaming with a smile, "It seems that everyone has had a good rest."
"It was really good, I haven’t slept that comfortably in a long time." Mu Mingxuan moved his neck and negotiated with the director, "What kind of bed was that? It was exceptionally comfortable to lie on. After we finish recording, could you send me the brand?"
Jian Tiantian also spoke excitedly, "Me too! I usually have trouble falling asleep, but today, as soon as I lay down, I fell asleep in a second!"
The director still wore a smile, "This is also sponsored by the same brand as the watches you have on your wrists. With the way you are advertising for them, maybe when recording ends, the brand might generously gift each of you a set."
On hearing this, everyone was happy, but the viewers in front of the screens were full of question marks:
[Uh, isn’t... what exactly is the production team doing?]
[They were only lying down for two or three minutes, at most not more than five minutes! Has brown-nosing capitalism gone this far?]
[This advertisement is too forced! Oh my goodness, I suddenly feel repulsed.]
[Ah, ah, ah, ah Best Actor Ling, how could you also start praising it! We’re not short on endorsements. Don’t take this rotten money!]
[Yuan Zai! Your company must have accepted this advertisement for you, right?]
...
Since the yacht had already docked, of course, everyone had to disembark and then start filming this episode of the show.
Before the guests disembarked, the director pulled out several pieces of paper from somewhere and handed one to each guest.
They looked down and saw that the thin sheet of paper was a simplified map of the island.
The director explained, "This is a map of the island drawn by the production team. Using our current location as the starting point, you can see on the map that there is a safe house. That is a temporary shelter built by our production team, with supplies and a water source inside. Our two secret guests are already there waiting for you."
"Secret guests?" Huo Miao looked up, her breath tightening, "The secret guests have already arrived?"
You see, her purpose in joining the show was to find out that one of the secret guests on "Survive for 30 Days" this season was the big-time director Wang Ye. If she could get on good terms with him and get a lead role in his new film, it would be a huge boost for Huo Miao’s entry into the entertainment industry!
"Yes," the director nodded. "Our show is a closed live broadcast, aiming for authenticity. Even the secret guests can’t know the slightest bit of information from the internet. So, they have been taken to the safe house by another team of staff."
As he spoke, the director added, "They also don’t have any electronic devices, just a watch like the one you’re wearing on your wrists."
[The production team is ruthless!]
[Oh my, the island looks so big, are those two secret guests just living in the forest? That’s scary!]
[You’re overthinking it. The production team will definitely have safety measures in place. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, the production team would be responsible.]
[Why isn’t there a live broadcast room for the secret guests? I want to know who those two secret guests are.]
Huo Miao listened, her mood somewhat excited. She couldn’t wait to go to the safe house to find Director Wang Ye.
She was determined to perform well in this month!
As the guests disembarked one by one, Huo Miao’s backpack was heavy with skincare and makeup products, Mu Mingxuan took the initiative to help her carry it.
[Ah, ah, ah, this pair is so sweet!!]
[Mu Mingxuan is the heir of the Mu Group, a true scion of wealth. For Miaomiao, he actually condescended to participate in such a show and treats her with so much favor! I’m about to believe in love again.]
[Good vibes, good vibes, indeed when I see our Miaomiao I feel happy!]
After Mu Mingxuan took Huo Miao’s backpack, Yuan Wei also stepped forward to offer his help to Jian Tiantian.
"Really? Thank you so much! After we finish filming the show, I’ll treat you to a meal!" Jian Tiantian said with surprise and delight.
Yuan Wei coolly responded, "What’s the big deal about that? Carrying a bag is something a man should do."
[Hahaha, such a gentlemanly Yuan Zai!]
Among the eight guests, there were only three women. Seeing two of the men being so chivalrous, the others couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
But before participating in the show, the celebrity guests had brushed up on background information and were aware of the scandal between Jiang Ning and Huo Miao, as well as the hostility netizens had towards Jiang Ning. If they stepped forward to help Jiang Ning... they might attract negative attention themselves and also be disliked by the netizens, which wouldn’t be worth it.
Huo Ziheng had already slung his own backpack over his shoulders; he watched as Mu Mingxuan helped Huo Miao with her luggage, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Jiang Ning with no one to help her carry her baggage.
Huo Ziheng raised his head and deliberately took a detour, walking proudly past Jiang Ning.
Ha, don’t think he would take the initiative to help her carry anything. He still remembered being hit twice that day!
Jiang Ning didn’t even spare Huo Ziheng a glance.
"Do you need my help?"
A very light voice suddenly came from above. Jiang Ning looked up and saw a fair face.
Nong Chun, visibly anxious and with a touch of social phobia, gazed at Jiang Ning. Although he was the one initiating the conversation, his panicked and nervous expression made it seem as if he were the one being approached.
Jiang Ning knew he was one of the amateur guests participating in the program and politely declined, "Thank you, but the backpack isn’t heavy. I can carry it myself."
With that, she extended one hand, picked up the mountaineering bag single-handedly, stretched out her other hand, then slid it through the strap as well, and in an instant, the backpack was snug against Jiang Ning’s back.
Nong Chun sighed in relief, "Okay, good."
The guests disembarked from the yacht one by one, with the director following behind them. Suddenly, his phone in his pocket vibrated. Answering the call, he didn’t speak much before his expression changed dramatically, "What? Your yacht is taking on water?!"
"Where are you now!"
"Okay, okay, okay, we’re coming over now!"
The director, holding the phone, said to the cameraman who had come down with him, "Hurry, hurry, get on the yacht, we need to rescue them!"
The guests stood still as Yuan Wei asked anxiously, "Director, what’s happened?"
The director, with an urgent expression, replied, "Our colleagues, who were returning from dropping off the flight guests on the island, had an accident on their way back. I need to rush over to rescue them now! Just stay here for now!"
Having said that, the director turned and ran toward the yacht: "Hurry, hurry! Start the boat! We need to rescue people!!!"
The yacht started up, instantly churning up layers of waves as it sped away, leaving the eight guests stranded and disheveled by the wind.
[Ah... what...]
[What the hell?! Did something go wrong with the live broadcast?! Holy shit, taking on water is serious, right?!]
[Yeah!! The sea is so vast; the other team must have been on their way back after dropping off the flight guests when they discovered the water ingress. Ahhhh, I hope they’re safe.]
[Oh my goodness, it’s so scary, what do we do now! The sea is so vast, how can we find them?!]
[Pray!!!]
[Nothing better go wrong!!!]
[Is it possible to call for marine rescue?]
[I don’t think so, the call just now said the yacht has already started taking on water. If it’s taking on water, the yacht will sink, and by the time marine rescue arrives, the yacht might already have sunk.]
[Isn’t it weird, didn’t you guys notice something very strange? Why are we still watching this live stream? The director and cameraman have already left on the yacht to go rescue people, so why is the live stream still on?]
[To look at it from another angle, even if the director and staff forgot to turn off the live stream in their haste, shouldn’t our live stream be showing what the cameraman is filming? Since the cameramen are with the director, why is it that our live stream is still focused on these eight guests on the desolate island, shouldn’t the content have shifted to the yacht?]
The live stream viewers: [!!!!!!!!]
