Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Public Opinion Storm
“So what about you…” He Chenxi hesitated but her meaning was clear because Ji Tian seemed to her the most down-to-earth heiress.

Even Fu Wanxue, always kept her airs all through the show, making herself look different from other celebrities, which she thought made her appear more distinguished.
“Me?” Ji Tian carefully recalled, “Pretty much the same, my parents had high expectations of me, wanted me to learn everything. I got tired of studying and went on strike, so I was sent to the show for a makeover.”
He Chenxi didn’t expect the situation to be like that. “So, you’re going through a rebellious phase?”
“Not really,” Ji Tian shook her head, “I just want to have an easier life because I was too tired before.”
In the book, Ji Tian’s past was filled with endless academic pressures, while the Ji Tian transported here was busy just surviving, both were exhausting.
...
“People can’t always follow the rules; they will lose their nature and become puppets of life, Sister Chenxi, the more you yield, the harsher you will be bullied.”
He Chenxi understood the principle and ultimately just gave a bitter smile, “Thank you, Sweet Sister, I’ll handle it myself.”
Ji Tian nodded gently, not knowing what had happened to her, but she respected her decision.
The next day.
It started drizzling in the morning.
Ji Tian put on a light blue casual suit, wore a long-sleeved shirt under a light blue jacket, and tied her black hair into a high ponytail, looking youthful.
Being a high school student, she didn’t wear makeup; her skin was pale with a rosy tint, her dark eyes and fair complexion prompted the show crew to give her a close-up shot.
The viewers pouring into the live stream:
[Wow, the stream starts with a beauty burst, don’t know which guy will get lucky with her in the future.]
[Checking in for the fourth day, right on time for the follow, looking forward to today’s final challenge.]
[Everyone is up so early… OMG, Weibo suddenly popped up a hot search, it’s explosive, everyone go check it out!]
Outside, an old eight-seater van was parked.
Quan Jingyou, looking distressed, asked, “Director, where’s the bus from yesterday?”
Yan Ming boarded another car, “Due to exceeding the budget, the rent for this car will be deducted from the funds of both your teams, fifty yuan per hour and an additional ten yuan every ten minutes after the time limit, please try to reach the destination—Haiyan Bay—as quickly as you can.”
“I will be waiting for you at Haiyan Bay.”
Everyone: “…”
Ji Tian watched Yan Ming’s car speeding away and couldn’t help but complain, “What kind of a shoddy crew can’t afford fifty yuan!”
Bai Tingyu stepped forward, “Yu Chuang, do you know how to drive?”
They were all underage, although they knew how to, they hadn’t got their driver’s licenses yet, and feared getting detained on the road before reaching the destination.
Yu Chuang nodded, “Yes, everyone get in.”
The three girls sat in the front row, Yu Chuang drove, Bai Tingyu sat in the copilot seat, and the remaining three sat in the last row.
Ji Tian turned her head to look at Quan Jingyou behind her and gave him a meaningful look.
Quan Jingyou, whistling nervously, turned his head and looked out the window at the gradually intensifying rain.
Ji Tian: “…” Idiot.
She looked toward Qin Jiangsheng again, who innocently blinked his tea-colored eyes, unaware of what Ji Tian wanted.
“…”
She turned back, never mind, whatever the task, she was unbeatable!
Haiyan Bay was some distance from here; Yu Chuang drove while checking the GPS, trying to reach the destination within an hour.
Ji Tian felt drowsy in the car; the current weather was perfect for sleeping, and it was still raining outside, leaving her hoping that the task wouldn’t be outdoors.
Halfway through the drive, Shen Zhiyi suddenly nudged He Chenxi, who was sitting in the middle: “Sister Chenxi, look…”
She brought her phone in front of He Chenxi.
A viral hot search caught her eye.
#Explosion, Onlyou1 team leader He Chenxi bullies teammate Wu Qin’er, causing her depression and attempted suicide, now in the hospital, life and death unknown#
The girl group had advanced with a total of nine people; He Chenxi was in charge, and Wu Qin’er barely made it, and after forming, the whole group fell silent without any resources except for the obscure variety show He Chenxi participated in, which became popular because it featured the Wealthy Family.
If it weren’t for this hot search, most people wouldn’t know who He Chenxi and Wu Qin’er were.
He Chenxi’s face turned pale, her eyes lifeless as she watched Wu Qin’er lying on the emergency bed with a deep cut on her wrist, still dripping blood.
The following series of comments:
[Explain! He Chenxi explain! It has long been rumored that she bullied her teammates, but it only exploded after so long!]
[You truly can’t judge a person by their appearance—bullies to hell!]
[How can they still invite He Chenxi on shows? She should just die, Wu Qin’er is so pitiful, she might have been wondering why she had to be unfairly treated at the moment of her suicide.]
[Thank you, He Chenxi, for letting me understand the whole matter, really amazing, leading teammates to isolate and exclude her, calling her a bumpkin from the countryside, pulling her hair, slapping her face, she didn’t miss a beat, driving someone to death, and even forcing Wu Qin’er to quit midway, but she still stuck it out and formed the group, the malice of the heart is indeed outrageous!]
He Chenxi dared not look at the online comments; her phone was already turned off. Shen Zhiyi’s actions were subtle, causing few people to be aware of this, they were all busy heading to Haiyan Bay.
He Chenxi lowered her head, her voice soft and tense: “Don’t bother…”
Shen Zhiyi’s brows slightly furrowed, seeing He Chenxi like this, she didn’t want to intervene, and she wouldn’t.
Getting involved might cause trouble for herself; she had warned He Chenxi about the approaching storm of horrific public opinion and had done all she could; as for coping strategies, she hoped He Chenxi could deal with it herself.
Moreover, the current public opinion was still limited; many people were still confused about the matter, given the girl group’s obscurity and even less familiar members’ names.
Occasionally, a few comments flitted through the live broadcast room, quickly covered by other comments, with some controlling and deleting comments.
An hour later, everyone arrived at Haiyan Bay.
This place was by the sea, the most surprising thing being the cable car hanging in mid-air, crossing the sea and stopping on an island about a hundred or two hundred meters from the shore.
“Welcome to Haiyan Bay, this bay houses Lin Chuan City’s famous fishing village, and the nearby island is called the fishing island, existing for a hundred years, abandoned twenty years ago, with all fishermen relocated and scattered across various villages and towns.”
“And our task today, two teams will escape the deserted island within five hours to reach the only dock; the team that escapes first will be the winners of this episode, after which we’ll settle your remaining funds, confiscate cell phones, no staff will set foot on the island, the whole process will be filmed by drones as well as hidden cameras scattered in corners.”
“Before landing, you can choose any two items, the production team will not provide any free food or water sources, but these can be exchanged with funds, there are a small number of remaining resources on the island, and a map leading to the dock.”
