Chapter 20

Gu Huaian returned home to find an unexpected quiet.

As if casually, he asked, "Where is Madam?"

Tao Sister's eyes were filled with tears: "Madam has gone to participate in a reality show and is trapped on an island. Sir, you must save her!"

He Uncle's face didn't look good either.

After learning that Shen Tang had gone to participate in a reality show, they had been watching the live stream all day.

The content in the live stream comments was extremely vulgar. The two of them clumsily operated the cell phones and explained things to the web users. Finally they were labeled Shen Tang's stupid fans, and their ancestors eighteen generations back were also cursed.

Tao Sister didn't expect that Madam would be so miserable. Just by looking at those words she felt unbearable, let alone how Madam had endured them over the years.

Gu Huaian frowned. "Tell me the details." Then, Tao Sister embellished and exaggerated the events of the past two days.

In her words, Shen Tang was perfectly portrayed as a little pitiful person attacked by thousands of netizens. And now she was even trapped on an island, with unknown life or death.

Gu Huaian's face sank. "Why didn't you tell me earlier when something like this happened?"

He doesn't usually follow entertainment news so he didn't know about this.

Tao Sister had an awkward expression. She didn't want to say? She didn't dare to say.

He Uncle stepped forward: "I have already instructed people to contact the rescue personnel. The program team should also send someone over. She was just panicking."

Gu Huaian's face darkened. He immediately called Cen Assistant.

The island.

The night was turbulent, the wind was howling, and bean-sized raindrops pounded heavily on the ground, splashing water everywhere.

Yingying, wrapped in clothes, sagged her eyebrows: "The rain seems to be getting bigger."

Suddenly there was a roar of thunder. Yingying shrank into Shen Tang's arms in fright, "Wow, Sister Tangtang, so scary..."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here..."

Shen Tang was an orphanage child in both lifetimes and had a lot of experience taking care of children. She reflexively put her arm around Yingying, stroked her hair, and patted her back.

Huo Yingying satisfiedly hooked up the corners of her mouth. Sister Tangtang is so cute.

He Yuan next to her was envious. He looked expectantly at Ao Ziping. Ao Ziping: "..." He stared with frightened eyes wide open, covering his chest.

He Yuan turned to look at Zhao Zhe. Zhao Zhe coldly averted his gaze.

He Yuan looked at Zhou Hao again. Zhou Hao rolled his eyes: "Don't look at me, I'm homophobic."

He Yuan: "..."

"I declare in advance that I'm not gay."

"Yes, yes, yes, you're not gay, you just want to get intimate with men."

He Yuan: "..."

"I'm really not gay!"

"I said I believe you."

He Yuan felt he was going to be angered to death by Zhou Hao. He discovered that although the guy looks perfectly normal, he makes people want to beat him up as soon as he opens his mouth.

After this interlude, everyone was less nervous and much more relaxed.

He Yuan turned to look at Shen Tang: "Sister Tangtang, how come you participated in this show?"

Although her reputation was not very good, her popularity was still much higher than theirs as newcomers.

Shen Tang sighed, "I was originally asked to participate in a dating show. I didn't want to go, so they arranged me here instead."

"A dating show? The one called Lovelive?"

"Yes."

Ao Ziping was very excited. "That show is so popular, and you refused!"

Shen Tang thought to herself that it may be popular, but they have to survive to participate. She was miserable enough now. If she went, she would probably get pelted with rotten eggs when she went out.

Shen Tang smiled. "With my reputation, I would probably end up being the one left single if I went."

As a girl, Huo Yingying was more attentive. Her eyes showed heartache.

"Sister Tangtang, don't worry, I will always support you."

Shen Tang: "???"

What was the little girl fantasizing about again?

After arranging shifts to keep watch at night, everyone took out the sleeping bags from their resource packs and started to rest.

A sleepless night.

As day broke, the rain showed no sign of weakening at all. This put a heavy weight on everyone's hearts, making them very depressed.

Shen Tang took out some food from the resource pack and distributed it to everyone. "Let's all eat something. The program team won't just abandon us."

There was a subtle tendency for leadership to gravitate towards Shen Tang from the others, firstly because she had the highest popularity, and secondly because she was the calmest one. Overthinking was indeed useless. Shen Tang was used to going with the flow and finding the most comfortable way in predicaments.

Everyone silently ate breakfast, then got up to move around.

Shen Tang took the opportunity to check on the snakes. Wriggling, twisting, lurking.

Fortunately there was no sign they would come out, which reassured her a lot.

There was no way of knowing when the rescue personnel would arrive. They were now completely cut off from the outside world.

The pier.

The wind and waves were huge. The boats docked at the shore swayed back and forth.

The director firmly gripped his umbrella against the gale, struggling to keep his eyes open as he asked, "Is there really no way to go over?"

The dark-skinned man opposite heavily shook his head. "No, it's too dangerous."

The director could no longer distinguish whether it was rain or tears streaming down his face. He was on the verge of sobbing.

Just then, several luxury cars pulled over.

An umbrella-holding driver in black walked over to the other side and opened the car door. Then a long leg stepped out.

Just seeing this situation, the director knew he couldn't afford to offend whoever this was.

He moved aside, not expecting the person to walk towards him.

Seeing the visitor clearly, the director was very flustered. He would recognize this face even if it was burnt to ashes.

"I'm the director. You coming over here is..."

"I need the locator of your live streaming device."

It's worth mentioning that these live streaming devices all had locators on them, also to facilitate finding them if lost.

The director opened his mouth. Just then he heard the man continue, "My wife is over there."

The director's expression instantly changed. Was his wife Huo Yingying or Shen Tang?

He subconsciously leaned more towards Huo Yingying. Although Shen Tang was good-looking, her reputation was not good.

As for whether this so-called wife was a real wife, he didn't know.

Things like this were commonplace in this circle.

However, since this man had come personally, it meant the relationship was not ordinary. He would have to be more careful in the future.

After getting a few locations, Gu Huaian and his group soon boarded a boat and set off.

Although the wind and waves were strong, the boat remained very steady.

This slightly put the director's mind at ease. Did this mean his career was safe?
