“Holy shit, someone help!”
“Oh my god, He Suyan jumped in too!”
“…”
The deck instantly became crowded and chaotic.
Su Yuqing, that idiot, can die on her own for all I care, but why drag others down with her?
The live stream’s popularity skyrocketed, crashing the servers!
The screen was flooded with vulgar curses.
Meanwhile, those who had fallen into the water were rescued. He Suyan looked at the woman in his arms, her face as pale as paper, his brows tightly furrowed.
Just moments ago, it felt as if some force had pushed him, compelling him to jump into the sea involuntarily and rescue the person now in his arms.
The moment he grabbed her, a flood of images rushed through his mind like a whirlwind.
“What exactly happened?” the chief director asked, his brows furrowed so tightly they could crush a fly.
“What else could it be? Su Yuqing tried to harm someone but ended up harming herself instead,” Xie Shiyun sneered, casting a disdainful glance at the still-unconscious Su Yuqing.
Director Lin glared at him. “This is a live stream!”
“Exactly, a live stream. The cameras captured the whole thing.”
“…”
Director Lin took a deep breath and turned to Su Chengxi, who was slowly regaining consciousness. “Miss Su, are you alright?”
“Cough… I, I’m fine…” Su Chengxi coughed until her face turned pale. “Cough, where’s my sister? How is she? I couldn’t hold onto her just now…”
Her face was full of guilt.
Everyone turned their gaze toward the person still lying in He Suyan’s arms, their hearts filled with contempt.
At that moment, Su Yuqing, with her eyes tightly shut, absorbed all the memories flooding her mind and couldn’t help but think one thing: “Holy shit.”
Her spacious apartment, luxury cruise ship, nine-figure savings…
She hadn’t even had the chance to enjoy them yet…
“Cough…” Su Yuqing felt a suffocating tightness in her chest, as if her heart was about to give out, nearly choking her to death again. Fortunately, someone immediately began pressing on her chest, and she slowly recovered.
She coughed so hard that tears welled up in her eyes.
Unexpectedly, she found herself staring into a face of breathtaking beauty—smooth jawline, flawless features, deep-set eyes like an unfathomable abyss. Even Su Yuqing, who was accustomed to seeing all kinds of handsome young actors and charming older men in the entertainment industry, was momentarily stunned.
But it lasted only a moment.
She narrowed her eyes, processing the memories in her mind and gaining an understanding of the current situation.
“Sister, are… are you alright?” Seeing her awake, Su Chengxi personally handed her a towel, her eyes filled with obvious concern.
She herself was still dripping wet.
Su Yuqing promptly sat up from He Suyan’s embrace, her voice slightly hoarse. “Lucky to be alive, I’m fine for now.”
Su Chengxi—the stepsister of the original host, the beloved eldest daughter of the wealthy Su family.
“Su Yuqing, what kind of attitude is that?” Seeing her less-than-friendly demeanor, Su Chengxi’s protector beside her couldn’t hold back.
A pair of cold eyes stared at Su Yuqing, filled with disgust.
Jiang Chenan—once “her” fiancé—was now holding the person in his arms, comforting her with gentle words.
Su Yuqing scoffed. “What kind of attitude should I have toward a murderer?”
“Don’t you dare slander her!” Jiang Chenan glared angrily. “Everyone saw it just now—you tried to push Chengxi, but you ended up falling in yourself. And yet Chengxi still tried to save you. Is this how you repay her?”
He looked at Su Yuqing with an expression that said, “You really are vicious and unfit for the spotlight.”
The original host had been deeply in love with Jiang Chenan. If “she” were still here, she would surely have lost her temper and caused a scene, wouldn’t she?
Su Yuqing tightened the bath towel that He Suyan had draped over her. “Right and wrong aren’t determined by a mere flap of the tongue.”
She no longer looked at the two of them, instead turning her gaze to the chief director behind the row of cameras. “Director Lin, could I have a copy of the footage from that camera angle?”
She was currently participating in the first live broadcast of the Reverse Talent Show. The so-called Reverse Talent Show invited thirty-one celebrities to compete, with the goal of selecting seven to be permanently expelled from the entertainment industry.
Simple and brutal!
The show’s chief director was an eccentric genius with a strong family background and a peculiar mind—this was his brainchild.
Su Yuqing wasn’t sure if Director Lin would give it to her, but since she had taken over the original host’s body, she naturally couldn’t shoulder the blame anymore. Even if Director Lin refused, she had her own ways to obtain it.
Director Lin glanced at her and, almost inexplicably, nodded. “Sure, I’ll send it to you later.”
A faint smile curled at the corner of Su Yuqing’s lips. “Thank you.”
“Director, we’re still live…” the assistant director murmured.
Director Lin, never one to shy away from drama, replied, “It’s fine. The more they clash, the more views we get.”
“…” Are you really that desperate for views?
Su Chengxi’s face had truly paled by now. She had indeed made a move earlier, thinking it wouldn’t be caught on camera.
“Little sister, are you still blaming me for not holding you back just now? I really didn’t mean to. Next time, I’ll be more careful. Thankfully, Teacher He was there. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t know how to face Mom when I go back. I…”
Every time that woman was mentioned, Su Yuqing would swallow her anger. This time would surely be no different.
And indeed, a dull ache spread through Su Yuqing’s chest—the original host’s emotions were acting up.
Her brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
Su Chengxi continued, “Little sister, I don’t expect your forgiveness. I know why you resent me. Things aren’t what you think—I’m not with Chen An. Please don’t misunderstand…”
Her words trailed off, only adding to the suspicion.
The people around them immediately ignited with gossip-fueled curiosity!
A sea breeze swept over, leaving Su Yuqing feeling slightly dizzy. Now wasn’t the time to openly clash with Su Chengxi, especially since the Su family held all the cards. Thinking she could obtain evidence later, she decided to play along for now and rest a bit. Besides, with her skills, she could easily outmaneuver Su Chengxi’s scheming and let her reap what she sowed.
“Target detected. Forcibly binding. Binding in progress: ten, nine… two, one. Beep—binding successful. Truth System successfully activated!”
“Detected host’s intention to lie. Forcing correction!”
At the same time, Su Yuqing spoke up, “Don’t bother. Ever since you told me Jiang Chenan is a three-second man, I’ve had nothing to do with him.”
Su Yuqing…?
The scene…!
The live stream fell silent for a moment before exploding!
[…I really didn’t want to understand that instantly.]
[Three-second man? Mom, did my eyes just get dirty?]
[My ears are dirty!]
[How does Su Chengxi know Jiang Chenan only lasts three seconds?]
[So Su Chengxi said she’s not with Jiang Chenan because he only lasts three seconds?]
[…]
[Get lost! Su Yuqing is shameless, slandering my idol!]
[Su Yuqing, go die!]
Soon after, comments like “Su Yuqing, get out of the entertainment industry” and “go die” flooded the screen.
Meanwhile, the live broadcast continued.
Director Lin and the assistant director settled in to watch the drama unfold, while the rest of the crew twitched at the corners of their mouths.
“Su Yuqing, what did you say?!” Jiang Chenan’s face stiffened, turning as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Su Yuqing, who had just dropped a bombshell, rubbed her forehead. The extra voice in her head made her headache even worse.
“Sister, even if… even if you want to frame me, you can’t just make things up. This will damage Chen An’s reputation, won’t it?” Su Chengxi took a deep breath, using all her strength to maintain the smile on her face.
