Luo Xuan pushed her away, disappointment filling his eyes.
"Enough, Ai Xiaochun, you’ve gone too far. How could you take action on your own? Even if you don’t like the people from Team Q on any other day, you can’t just do this?!"
Damn, it’s actually Ai Xiaochun who leaked the information, utterly disgusting.
I knew it was her!!! Kick this woman off the server already!
Too much, isn’t it? Not even bothering to pretend anymore, playing both sides.
"No, it’s not like that..."
"Don’t explain, I don’t want to hear it!"
Ai Xiaochun clenched her fist tightly, glaring at Luo Xuan as if resigning herself to her fate.
"Fine, blame me, it’s all my fault. But don’t you have any issues? Don’t you have any crooked thoughts about that Jiang Li?!"
Ai Xiaochun roared these words, clearly heard by Zhao Lang who had arrived later.
He looked at the man standing opposite the hysterical woman, his long eyes growing darker.
Pei Ye, beside him, also noticed his unusual behavior.
"Young master, do you want me to go over?"
Zhao Lang lifted his hand slightly, "No rush, let’s observe for a moment."
Looking at the situation, it was indeed close to what he suspected; Jiang Li and her team were no longer here.
After all, that girl was not one to sit idly by.
"Enough!" Luo Xuan, with his secret exposed, swung a slap across Ai Xiaochun’s face, his eyes bloodshot.
Ai Xiaochun staggered, falling to the ground and looking up at Luo Xuan in disbelief.
"You actually hit me? You hit me for an outsider?"
Ji Yanbai really didn’t want to watch these people entangled. Seeing more people gradually approaching, he waved his hand and said, "Go check the nearby area, search thoroughly for anyone from Team Q."
Mu Ye tried to slip away amidst the chaos but was caught by Ji Yanbai.
"Don’t run. You lead them. You’re the only one who recognizes the people from Team Q."
Fine fine fine, so he’s just here to be used as a tool!
After a while, others arrived too, and about thirty people gathered by the lake, all chattering and causing a ruckus.
"Where are the people from Team Q? Wasn’t it said they were here?"
"Yeah, has someone given us false information, making us come here for nothing?"
"Who’s so malicious to send us on a wild goose chase? I’ve got to find them and give them a good beating!"
Seeing this, Zhao Lang quietly blended into the crowd and, disguising his voice, shouted, "It’s those people from Team J spreading false news; the anonymous account online was posted by that woman."
In an instant, everyone’s gaze was directed toward the four people near the tent.
"You’re from Team J? Are you the ones spreading false information?!"
Guo Xing’s legs went weak with fear, "Sister Manman, what do we do now? We, we..."
Chen Manman pursed her lips and said, "Don’t rush, let’s not panic first."
Then she looked at the crowd and managed a strained smile.
"Everyone, calm down, listen to me first—"
That sharp voice came again, "Don’t listen to her nonsense. If we can’t find the people from Team Q, let’s take it out on them!"
Dare I ask, young master, are you sure there are no personal feelings mixed into this?
These people had been running around all night without sleep. The combined resentment of everyone could overturn the entire island.
They arrived full of hope, only to be played ; no wonder they were angry!
With Zhao Lang fanning the flames, everyone looked at Team J with towering rage in their eyes.
"Right, we can’t let them off!"
"That’s too much! Let’s eliminate them first!"
"I didn’t come here for nothing, today either Team J or Team Q must go down!"
As she spoke, nearly everyone swarmed forward in a frenzy.
Seeing the situation turn sour, the four of them hurriedly fled.
Only Ai Xiaochun, lacking the strength to go on, was left behind and naturally became the target.
"Ah Xuan, you can’t abandon me, ah!!!!!"
Those men naturally hesitated to lay a hand on Ai Xiaochun, so they could only remove her watch and stomp on it violently on the ground.
But it was different with the women.
Already frustrated from the lack of food and drink on this island and now having been toyed with, they’d completely lost their reason and, after pushing Ai Xiaochun to the ground, brutally clutched her hair.
Ai Xiaochun, alone, could not withstand the many hands and soon shrieked continuously as she was beaten.
[Hilarious hahahaha deserves her right! That’s what she gets for not getting along with Sister Li!]
[It’s like lifting a rock only to drop it on your own feet. That’s her for sure.]
[Tsk tsk, now she must see her boyfriend’s true colors, her girlfriend is being bullied , and he just turns and runs.]
[Mother of God, this scene is too chaotic, but it’s so exciting, I simply can’t bring myself to pause.]
The remaining three could only flee in every direction.
Chen Manman was caught soon after and couldn’t escape the clutches either.
But she had more backbone, directly removing her watch and surrendering it for disposal.
Luo Xuan and Guo Xing then sneaked into the crowd and hid by the lakeside.
"Xuan, what do we do now?"
Guo Xing’s voice trembled.
Chen Manman and Ai Xiaochun had already been eliminated, and they estimated they wouldn’t be able to escape easily either.
But he wasn’t willing to give up, unwilling just to be eliminated .
"Shh." Luo Xuan signaled for him to be quiet. "Let’s hide here a bit longer. Then when they’re not paying attention, we’ll slip away and find another way!"
However, these two could evade the crowd’s eyes but could not avoid Zhao Lang’s gaze.
Remembering the shout that Ai Xiaochun had let out earlier, Zhao Lang’s eyes darkened. He moved silently towards them and with a single kick each, sent the two tumbling into the lake.
Then he shouted, "Look, those two have hidden in the lake!"
Afterwards, the crowd swarmed over again.
Directly pulling Luo Xuan and Guo Xing, who were still floundering in the water, back out.
"You actually wanted to escape by jumping into the lake? Fat chance!"
"No way, we need to teach these two a lesson to vent our anger!"
"Still running, I’ll slap you!"
He didn’t see anything.
In the end, it wasn’t until the staff rushed over and took the two away that the brawl finally ceased.
But after they left, the crowd once again fell into agitation, arguing back and forth with each other.
The chaos of thirty people in a melee was hard not to be exciting.
Roars and the sounds of punches and kicks were everywhere, but in the end, they could only furiously rage against the endless expanse of the lake.
Nearly everyone was shouting—
Where on earth is Team Q?!
Meanwhile, He Pingzhang had his drones pounding the drum of search, desperately seeking Team Q’s whereabouts.
In the few hours they had vanished, their fan accounts nearly broke the official blog; if he didn’t find them, he feared he wouldn’t have a moment’s peace today.
Finally, the assistant director, who was operating the machine, cried out.
"Look, there they are!"
On the boundless expanse of the lake, a wooden boat was cleaving through the sparkling waters, slowly making its way forward.
And who else could be standing at the bow, fishing, if not Jiang Li?
"Quick, all cameras, aim at Team Q!"
