When Nong Chun stood atop the high rocky mountain and shouted towards Best Actor Ling and Huo Miao and the others, the distance was too great, and although they couldn’t clearly make out what he was yelling, they did hear his voice.
Jian Tian Tian asked at that time, "What is that amateur shouting about?"
She only knew Nong Chun was an amateur and hadn’t remembered his name.
Ling Bo listened intently for a while, "I’m not sure, it seems like he’s calling us over?"
Yuan Wei speculated maliciously, "Such high rocks, Jiang Ning couldn’t have fallen down, could she?"
The color drained from everyone’s faces at the thought, and indeed, it wasn’t impossible. However, if they speculated in this direction, it would seem unreasonable not to try to save Jiang Ning, and if they went to save her, they were not professionals... nor did they have any rescue tools at hand.
Huo Ziheng closed his eyes, completely impatient, "She couldn’t possibly have fallen. If Nong Chun didn’t fall, how could she? You haven’t seen her fight, she’s more agile than a monkey and stronger than an elephant."
The other guests looked sideways, "??? Are you even hearing what you’re saying?"
Even Mu Mingxuan turned his head to look at Huo Ziheng twice.
It was Huo Miao sitting next to Huo Ziheng who, seeming to think of something, spoke up, "That’s right... With Jiang Ning’s impressive skills and having grown up in the mountain areas since she was little, she should be more familiar with this kind of place than any of us."
"Ah? Grown up in the mountains?" Jian Tian Tian lifted her hand to scratch her head, "So, the online rumors that Jiang Ning used to live at your place are true, huh?"
"Right," Huo Miao nodded, "Jiang Ning only came to our house after she got into a university in Capital City. But... she didn’t get along well with us and she moved out a while ago."
At first glance, what Huo Miao said seemed to be the truth, even Huo Ziheng and Mu Mingxuan felt that Huo Miao was telling the truth. But in reality, she had blurred her response, intentionally letting Jian Tiantian interpret the deeper meaning wrongly, for instance, the true and fake identities between Jiang Ning and her, the reasons why Jiang Ning was unhappy at the Huo Family, the fact that Jiang Ning wasn’t living at someone else’s expenses and had returned untouched the bank card Mother Huo gave her when she left, and even added an extra two hundred thousand for lodging and meals. Huo Miao mentioned none of these crucial details.
Not only did the other guests there misunderstand Jiang Ning as the Internet gossip depicted her, an ingrate who took advantage of others, but even the viewers watching the live stream, after hearing those two sentences from Huo Miao, were convinced that Jiang Ning was exactly as the negative publicity described, a person with poor character.
Everyone sat where they were, chatting; not a single person stood up, let alone going to where Jiang Ning and Nong Chun were.
[Ah! Miaomiao finally admits the things Trash Jiang did!]
[Before, every time in front of the cameras, our Miaomiao kept that bit of friendship in mind, not only asking her fans not to bother Jiang Ning but also spoke in favor of Jiang Ning many times. Now without the cameras, our Miaomiao is indeed telling the truth! Jiang Ning, this shameless wretch!]
[Just as suspected, what was said on the Internet is true! Jiang Ning coveted Miaomiao’s fiancé and even hit Miaomiao and her family, and she was kicked out by the Huo Family recently!]
[Miaomiao is really so kind-hearted, even at this moment, she doesn’t say a bad word about Jiang Ning. If it were me, I couldn’t hold back, I could rant a basketful of bad things about Jiang Ning.]
[Ah, I’m so mad! Look at the way Yuan Zai and Best Actor Ling look at her, they obviously feel sorry for Miaomiao.]
[I can understand everyone’s anger, but hey, it’s about to rain! Are they really not going to take shelter from the rain!]
[Ah! Stop talking, the tide has risen so much, haven’t they noticed it yet!]
Heeding the call of the audience, those who had been sitting by the shore finally realized, as the evening drew on, that the program group’s luxury yacht had not appeared before everyone; instead, the sky gradually darkened, and the wind blowing from the sea became colder and colder.
Unable to help herself, Huo Miao raised her hand to rub her arms, "It’s getting darker and darker, what should we do?"
Jian Tiantian couldn’t help but lift her hands to embrace her frail self, "I feel a bit cold, I hope it’s not really going to rain."
In fact, by this time, dark clouds had already started drifting over. However, it was also getting darker, which is why no one realized it immediately.
Ling Bo looked up seriously at the sky overhead and his expression changed suddenly, he had a feeling that it might indeed rain tonight.
But since he was the one who had suggested everyone stay put earlier, how could he possibly take the initiative and tell the others about the potential rain tonight? Ling Bo withdrew his gaze, picked up his backpack, and calmly said, "The program group’s people might have been delayed on the road, let’s just set up our tents for the night, and wait until tomorrow morning, by then the program team may have arrived."
