Shen Zha heard Mu Mingxuan’s words, glanced at Jiang Ning, and spoke tepidly, "Young Master Mu, could there be some misunderstanding here..."
[Pah! What misunderstanding could there be? Let him speak. I actually want to see just how shameless Mu Mingxuan can be!]
[Why would Jiang Ning tie him up if he didn’t know why? If he hadn’t been running his mouth, would Jiang Ning have reason to tie him up?]
[Exactly, if they hadn’t eagerly followed and harbored ill-intent after being rejected, Jiang Ning wouldn’t have given him a second glance.]
The screen was filled with comments criticizing Mu Mingxuan.
Sitting on the couch watching the live broadcast, Huo Ziheng’s feelings were extremely complicated.
He remembered those days on the desolate island, wondering if the audience had also talked about him like that?
The guests were still unaware of the virtual reality show; they couldn’t have imagined that their every action was taking place under the watchful eyes of the viewers.
When Mu Mingxuan heard Shen Zha’s words, thinking he was trying to protect Jiang Ning, he immediately became furious, "What misunderstanding! Can’t you all see how I’m tied up right now? It was her who said just now that she wanted to hang me from a tree!"
He thought that after he said this, Shen Zha would immediately confront Jiang Ning, but unexpectedly, Shen Zha continued to defend her, "What’s happened during this time that’s caused such a severe deterioration in your relationship? From what I can see, Jiang Ning doesn’t seem like someone who acts impulsively."
Mu Mingxuan snorted derisively.
If Jiang Ning wasn’t impulsive, then there were no impulsive people in the world!
He said venomously, "She’s hit us countless times during this period! If you don’t believe me, ask Yuan Wei and Ling Bo! They can testify!"
[Deserved it! Weren’t you all asking for it each time you got hit?]
Shen Zha actually turned to look at everyone, his face serious, "This matter is no small issue. In a broader context, it involves legal responsibility. I’m here to verify, is everything Young Master Mu said true?"
[The director knows how to keep the audience on the hook.]
[Truly worthy of being a director, immediately maximizing the show’s impact.]
[Don’t see it as just a simple question; it’s actually a test for the guests by the director, to see if they can speak truthfully according to their conscience.]
[Jiang Ning has been good to Nong Chun, Wang Ye, and Jian Tiantian; these three should speak up for Jiang Ning.]
[Jiang Ning wasn’t bad to Ling Bo and Yuan Wei either; she led them safely to the safe house. How much more do they want? As for the beating a few days ago, they totally had it coming. If they hadn’t been greedy for the food, none of the subsequent events would’ve occurred.]
Viewers were commenting on the case, offering a cacophony of views, while the guests had evidently much more to consider.
Just now, Mu Mingxuan had mentioned Ling Bo and Yuan Wei’s names, and Shen Zha’s gaze immediately fell on them.
Yuan Wei was the first to nod, "Young Master Mu is right; the hemp ropes on him were just tied by Jiang Ning, who also said she wanted to hang him from a tree. We all heard it. And this injury on my forehead was from that mysterious guest and Jiang Ning together."
[Haha, ever since I knew what kind of person Yuan Wei is, nothing he says surprises me anymore.]
[I used to be a fan of his, pah!]
Yuan Wei pointed at Qi Xingzhou with his hand, his gaze carrying a hint of resentment, obviously still holding a grudge over the incident from that morning.
With Yuan Wei taking the lead, Lin Qi standing by his side promptly revealed the injuries on his own arm, "And me, I was hit by Jiang Ning and her friend too, and it still hasn’t healed."
[So this is the so-called spouse echoing the other’s sentiments?]
[Ugh, I’m successfully disgusted.]
[These two can retire from showbiz after the program ends.]
Ling Bo was somewhat hesitant.
Honestly, he hadn’t had much interaction with Jiang Ning.
In fact, aside from Mu Mingxuan and Huo Miao, who had more contact with Jiang Ning, there had been no disputes between her and the rest.
On the contrary, they should be grateful to Jiang Ning for leading them safely from the beach to the safe house. Otherwise, on such a long and remote mountain road, they might have gotten lost in the forest or passed out from hunger before finding their way out.
But with Jiang Ning as their leader and selling them prey to eat, albeit at exorbitant prices, she had successfully led them out of the forest safely. Just for this favor alone, they owed Jiang Ning a great deal. Of course, this excluded Huo Ziheng, who had accidentally fallen down the cliff.
And then, regarding the fight in the attic a few days ago, the less said the better. If they hadn’t been overcome by greed, there wouldn’t have been any subsequent conflict.
