When Yuan Xingcheng and the staff were both in a dilemma, Mo Lin spoke up in a timely manner, "Come on, Yuan Meng might be asleep."
"As we all know, she has a bad case of morning - after drowsiness. Why don't we start making dinner first? When the food is ready, she'll come out to eat when she gets hungry."
His words were reasonable. The staff nodded in agreement. Mentioning Yuan Meng's morning - after drowsiness, she was really a bit scared.
Whoever was brave enough could go into the tent to check on her. She wouldn't dare.
Yuan Xingcheng let out a silent sigh of relief. He prayed in his heart that his aunt would come back soon. If she didn't return, he wouldn't be able to hold the base.
By then, if the enemy directly invaded the tent area, well, the consequences would be dire.
Yang Liu rolled her eyes in secret. How pretentious! She made the whole crew revolve around her.
After dinner was prepared, there was still no movement in Yuan Meng's tent. This time, the director really couldn't bear it anymore.
Even with the so - called morning - after drowsiness factor, he had to step forward bravely.
If there was really any danger... He didn't even dare to think about it!
"Director, really, I can't let you in. She definitely won't be in danger. I swear on this!"
Yuan Xingcheng was so exhausted from trying to persuade him. He raised three fingers beside his head and sighed repeatedly.
"This isn't about whether you swear or not. If something really happens to Yuan Meng, the production crew can't take the responsibility," the director said. He didn't expect this guy to be so stubborn. "How about this? Let's both take a step back.
"I'll send a female staff member in to check the situation. Will you please step aside?"
He was using a pleading tone, which showed that he was really annoyed by Yuan Xingcheng's stubbornness.
However, Yuan Xingcheng was also very helpless at this moment.
If his aunt was really inside, he would have let the director's team in long ago. But the problem was that his aunt wasn't there!
He shook his head. "Really can't do it."
Seeing the two of them at a stalemate, Yang Liu was extremely irritated. It was just going into the tent to check on someone. What was the big deal?
Was there something shameful inside?
Yuan Xingcheng and Yuan Meng had indeed been getting very close recently. Could there be something going on between them?
Thinking of this, Yang Liu sneered in her heart. No wonder he was guarding the tent entrance so tightly, not allowing the director or others to enter.
Today, she was going to get in!
Yang Liu took advantage of Yuan Xingcheng's moment of inattention and rushed forward to lift the tent flap.
Yuan Xingcheng's pupils suddenly constricted, and his eyes were filled with shock and horror. It was over. This time, it was really over. His aunt would never forgive him.
Just as his world was about to turn dark, a familiar voice rang in his ear.
"Woo - woo - woo, what are you doing?" Yuan Meng was sitting on the ground pitifully, her nose red, holding a tissue in her hand, with tears in her eyes as she asked Yang Liu.
There were quite a few tissues beside her, indicating that she had really cried a lot.
"You..." Yang Liu was at a loss for words for a moment. Why was the situation so different from what she had imagined?
Big drops of Yuan Meng's tears fell to the ground, leaving water stains. She sobbed, "I heard you talking, but...
"But I was scared. I didn't want to come out. After being scared for so many days, I just wanted to take a break, so I ignored you guys.
"I'm sorry."
Acting took energy. After Yuan Meng said these pitiful words, her stomach growled.
Yuan Xingcheng raised his eyebrows. "Sister Yuan Meng, stop crying. Do you want to eat?"
Hearing this, Yuan Meng immediately wiped away her tears, got up, and walked out. She sighed in her heart that her nephew was really sensible. It was great to be able to eat as soon as she came back.
After this episode, the program returned to calm, and the guests started to have dinner.
Just as they were halfway through their meal, the police suddenly appeared on camera.
[Wc, what's going on? Why are there policemen?]
[He's walking towards the director. I hope nothing bad has happened to the production crew. This is my favorite show to watch while eating!]
[The person in front, you're really something for using this show as an accompaniment to your meal.]
[The director's face looks really serious. Help, I'm so worried.]
While the audience was frantically posting bullet - screen comments, the live - broadcast was paused.
All the guests were looking around in confusion, holding their bowls in their hands, not knowing what had happened.
Yuan Xingcheng was the first to put down his bowl. "I called the police. Sister Yuan Meng just found something strange in the village."
Yuan Meng nodded and told them what she had discovered in the inner room.
She told her story in detail, leaving all the guests in awe. They all gave her a thumbs - up.
Even Yang Liu, who had always been at odds with her, complimented her several times with a complicated expression.
As women, they couldn't bear to see women being trafficked.
There was always a knowing smile on Mo Lin's face. Maybe Yuan Meng had been gone for so long just to handle this matter.
"Thank you, Ms. Yuan. If it weren't for your significant discovery, we wouldn't have been able to crack this human - trafficking case. You've saved thousands of families," the police highly commended Yuan Meng. Saying that she had saved thousands of families was no exaggeration.
If they had continued to let these villains in the village traffic women, who knew how many innocent souls there would be in the future.
"Just now, those girls told me that someone saved them. From the voice, it was also a girl. Is it one of the two guests from the production crew?" the policeman asked.
Hearing this question, everyone's eyes lingered on Yuan Meng and Yang Liu.
Yang Liu's lips moved. She subconsciously wanted to take the credit, but she didn't dare.
The people in front of her were the people's police. She wouldn't dare to lie in front of them even if she had a million guts.
"It wasn't me," she said stiffly.
So everyone turned their eyes to Yuan Meng. She shook her head too. "It wasn't me either.
"As you all know, I was hiding in the tent just now. And I didn't have the courage to go looking for those people..."
Everyone nodded after hearing this. Yuan Meng was so scared that she couldn't possibly go looking for them.
The policeman asked all the women present, but they all regretfully said they didn't know what was going on.
Since no one admitted it, they had to give up.
The police still had to look for clues in the village, and the production crew left to cooperate.
While everyone was discussing, Yuan Meng rubbed her still - hungry stomach and slipped out of the crowd quietly. Then she continued to hold her bowl and eat.
Food is the most important thing in the world.
The director was extremely confused at this moment. How could a randomly chosen village match the script?
His luck could be said to be the worst in history!
"Do you have the contact information of the scriptwriter?" the policeman asked.
The director immediately said Yuan Meng's pen name: Sanyuan.
The policeman nodded and quickly contacted Sanyuan's editor. He got the contact information from her and made the call.
The script was very similar to what had happened in the village. It was hard not to suspect that the author named Sanyuan might have known something in advance...
Just as the policeman made the call, suddenly, Yuan Meng's phone rang.
