Yuan Meng was holding a bowl in her hands. She took out her phone with the free hand, and instantly everyone's gazes converged on her.
The policeman who was making the call pursed his lips and hung up. The ringing of the phone stopped immediately.
Then, he did it two more times. Finally, he was sure that Yuan Meng was the real "Sanyuan".
Since the policeman used his private number to make the call, Yuan Meng was completely confused at this moment. She felt like she was being played with.
She frowned and murmured softly, "What's going on? Who's so bored to call me for fun?"
After saying that, she stuffed her phone back into her pocket and continued to eat.
But this time, without the interference of the phone ringing, she finally noticed something was wrong. It seemed that everyone was looking at her.
At this moment, everyone was in a daze - the director, the guests, the policemen, and even Yuan Xingcheng was stunned.
He knew that his little aunt seemed to know some inside information, but he never expected that she was actually the author herself!
Help! What kind of mystery was this!
The policeman suppressed his surprise and walked up to Yuan Meng, turning the phone screen towards her.
"Excuse me, Miss Yuan, are you the real 'Sanyuan'?"
The dialing number on his phone screen was clearly Yuan Meng's phone number. She almost dropped the bowl.
Goodness! She was really in for a shock. How did her identity get exposed in such a short time?
"No way! Really!" The director, who had come to his senses, rushed up to Yuan Meng, his eyes shining.
"You're actually the author. I invited the author herself to the show. What kind of luck is this?"
After saying this, the director slapped his thigh regretfully and clenched his fist. "You should have told me earlier!"
"If I had known this, I could have released the press release in advance, and the hot topic would have been a sure thing!"
Hearing his reaction to this matter, Yuan Meng could only smile politely. Sure enough, the director was in this line of work.
"Wait a minute. If you're 'Sanyuan', doesn't that mean you know the script?" Yang Liu grasped the key point.
Yuan Meng shrugged and spread her hands. "It's just that I didn't expect the director to use my script.
"Seeing that the sets were all ready and the filming was about to start, I couldn't expose this matter."
Hearing this, the director nodded in agreement. If he had known Yuan Meng's identity as 'Sanyuan' at that time, the show couldn't have been filmed.
Yang Liu didn't care about these things. She only knew that she had suffered a lot during the filming of the show recently.
Yuan Meng knew the script but didn't tell her. She just let her stumble around like a headless fly. She must have done it on purpose!
Now that there were no cameras around, Yang Liu didn't suppress her temper at all. The finger with the vermilion nail pointed at Yuan Meng, and her whole body was filled with raging anger.
Her otherwise decent face now looked hideous and terrifying as she gritted her teeth.
"You knew everything and deliberately made me look bad and laughed at me. Did you do it on purpose?"
"I said why I was the one who was scared by the ghost again and again. That time at the tree stump, it was you who deliberately framed me!"
Yang Liu's eyes were bloodshot. The more she said, the more aggrieved she felt.
Yuan Meng was the biggest villain, but she was held in the palm of all the guests in the show. On the contrary, she was the one who was calculated and became the one hated by everyone.
Moreover, the netizens' evaluations of her were very bad. The most common words associated with her were "drama queen" and "vase".
All of this was thanks to Yuan Meng. How could she not be angry?
Hearing this shameless remark, Yuan Meng frowned subconsciously, and her features almost contorted involuntarily.
If it weren't for the fact that she still had to protect her little secret identity, she would definitely have retorted by now!
She shrank her neck and looked at Yuan Xingcheng pitifully, making him get goosebumps all over.
"What is she talking about? I was the one who wanted to sit on the tree stump to trigger the plot that day. She snatched it from me on her own. You saw it." Yuan Meng gave her nephew a look.
Yuan Xingcheng understood immediately. "Yes, Yang Liu, this is your own problem.
"You wanted to take advantage of others but failed. In the end, you lost face. And now you're blaming others?"
His words made Yang Liu's face burn. She glared at Yuan Xingcheng angrily, her chest filled with anger. She didn't understand why he was still protecting Yuan Meng at this time.
"Are you crazy? Can't you see the situation clearly?"
"She's the author of this script. She already knew how each part would go, but she never reminded us. Would it kill her to give us a break?"
"Maybe she found it funny when she saw us struggling to find clues. She regarded you as a joke, but you regarded her as your dear sister?"
Yang Liu rolled her plump eyes. Her words were very sarcastic.
"Wait a minute. If it weren't for Yuan Meng's subtle reminders, how could we have found so many clues?"
Xiang Bo, who had just figured out the situation, scratched his head. His boldness buff was activated again.
"Yes. If Yuan Meng had told you what to do from the beginning, do you think it would be necessary to film the show?"
"On the contrary, she did a great job."
"Precisely because she didn't give us a break, the show was filmed so well." The director chimed in.
Yuan Meng didn't say a word. She looked at everyone pitifully and guiltily, resolving the conflict with Yang Liu without a single word.
Yang Liu was so angry that her body trembled uncontrollably. Her upper and lower teeth clattered. So many people were protecting Yuan Meng. She couldn't do anything to her!
But she would surely avenge today's humiliation. If they were to record the show together again next time, she didn't believe that the next script would still be written by Yuan Meng!
All that happened today had made Yang Liu hate Yuan Meng completely!
After thinking this through, Yang Liu stomped away in her high heels. After the feud between them ended, the policemen cleared the venue.
Yuan Meng and the others packed their things and were about to leave. Just as she picked up her suitcase, the director came over with a smile and took it from her.
"Oh, your hands are for more important things. How can you carry such a heavy thing?"
There were wrinkles on his smiling face. He looked very greasy, especially with that line. He was definitely an oily middle - aged man.
Yuan Meng wanted to push the greasy director away in her heart, but on her face, she looked pitiful.
She pursed her lips and glanced at the director as if she were guilty. Her hands were intertwined.
"Director, you want to talk to me about the script. I'm really sorry. If something like this happens next time, I'll definitely tell you in advance."
"Oh, we're all family. Don't say so much." The director said immediately.
Then, he leaned closer to Yuan Meng. "If you really feel bad about it, how about selling me some scripts at a lower price?"
Yuan Meng, who knew his intention, twitched the corner of her mouth. "I suddenly feel a bit dizzy. I'll leave first, Director."
No way! There was no way he could get things for free!
That night, all the villagers were arrested. This incident was of great significance, and the official even posted on Weibo. The online public opinion exploded.
While everyone was scolding the villains in the village, someone noticed that this village was exactly where the show was being filmed.
The all - powerful netizens then remembered the sudden appearance of the policemen and the subsequent suspension of the show. They started to discuss, and the popularity of the variety show remained high.
