I've Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show-Chapter 265 - 259: Where Did the Guests from Their Show Go?

Chapter 265: Chapter 259: Where Did the Guests from Their Show Go?

Xu Mu spoke with some irritability, "Stop shouting. They changed their minds suddenly and left, refusing to let us out, but they hid the key around here. Hurry up and find it to let us out."

It wasn’t just dark inside the warehouse; it was also stuffy. After being inside for a while, Xu Mu and Qin Wei were getting restless.

Zheng He looked around cautiously, "Did Chen Xixi really leave?"

Qin Wei replied from outside the warehouse, "I heard them leave with my own ears."

Zheng He was still on guard, moving around to check if there were any signs of Chen Xixi and Zhou Jinyuan, "She might also be lying in ambush nearby, you know. You guys don’t understand Chen Xixi; she’s very cunning!"

[Ah! Had Xu Mu and Zheng He secretly conspired? Otherwise, why would Zheng He be so vigilant!]

[If Chen Xixi weren’t so cunning, she’d probably have been trapped by you guys until there was nothing left of her. Being cunning is just her way of guarding against you villains!]

[It’s lucky that Chen Xixi left; otherwise, it looks like Zheng He and Xu Mu would have joined hands to scheme against her!]

[Chen Xixi suddenly changed her mind just before; could she have discovered something amiss? I really want to know how she found out!]

Xu Mu sighed helplessly, "You don’t have any points on you either. What are you afraid of? Hurry up and find the key to let us out. It’s too dark in here; I can’t see anything."

"What are you afraid of?" Zheng He scoffed, "Don’t you guys also have no points? And now you’re locked in the warehouse by Chen Xixi too, right?

So why are you locked inside? It’s because you underestimated her, you didn’t take Chen Xixi seriously. We might not have any points, but if she locks all of us in the warehouse, she would have fewer enemies to deal with. Even without points, we are still a threat to her, so we need to be careful."

Xu Mu and Qin Wei: "..." They were actually being lectured by an idiot.

But it was indeed their oversight this time; after all, it was the first time they had dealt with Chen Xixi.

After confirming that Chen Xixi and Zhou Jinyuan were not around, Zheng He and Hu Yun started to look for the warehouse key.

About ten minutes later, Xu Mu asked impatiently, "Did you find it?"

"We found it, we found it!" Hu Yun picked up the key from the grass and hurried to the warehouse door to unlock it.

However, Zheng He suddenly rushed forward to stop Hu Yun. Hu Yun looked at him in confusion, "What are you doing?"

"How do you know Chen Xixi and the others aren’t inside waiting for us?"

Hu Yun, speechless, "This door is locked. Even if Chen Xixi and Xu Mu planned something, how could they lock themselves inside?"

"..." That’s true.

Hu Yun unlocked the padlock and pushed open the warehouse door. Xu Mu and Qin Wei, who had been in the darkness for a long time, finally saw the sunlight, which also alleviated their stifled mood.

Just as Xu Mu and Qin Wei took a breath of fresh air, they widened their eyes at what they saw behind Zheng He and Hu Yun.

"Be careful—"

Just as Xu Mu raised his voice to warn them, Zheng He felt a kick from behind, and at the same time, Hu Yun felt someone push her.

Unprepared, both were pushed into the warehouse by two forces acting simultaneously.

Zheng He and Hu Yun staggered a few steps, Zheng He grabbing onto Xu Mu and Hu Yun onto Qin Wei to stabilize themselves.

Then there was a loud "clang," followed by the sound of the door being locked.

Zheng He, who had come to his senses, cursed, "F*ck!!!"

Zheng He turned frantically and began to bang on the warehouse door, "Chen Xixi!! Is that you!!!"

Chen Xixi’s voice, laced with amusement, immediately came through the warehouse door, "Surprised?"

Zheng He banged on the warehouse door wildly, "If you dare, let me out!"

Leaning comfortably against the wall next to the warehouse, Chen Xixi tossed the keys in her hand and then caught them again, "I will let you out, but not now."

Qin Wei asked curiously, "Didn’t you all leave just now?"

Chen Xixi smiled faintly, leave? Of course, it was done deliberately for Xu Mu and Qin Wei to hear, and after a short while, she and Zhou Jinyuan came back. As for why Zheng He and Hu Yun didn’t find them...

That’s because she and Zhou Jinyuan were hiding on the roof of the warehouse.

The roof of the warehouse was high and spacious. Sitting or lying there, they could create a blind spot in the line of sight, making it nearly impossible for the people below to see them, plus with a row of lush trees beside them as cover, it was just about the perfect hiding place. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Chen Xixi genuinely considered Xu Mu’s proposal for cooperation, but she changed her mind later... because Xu Mu and Qin Wei’s way of texting Zheng He to communicate was just too insincere.

At the very least, they could have made a call on speakerphone, letting her hear the entire conversation, that would show real sincerity in wanting to cooperate, right?

Chen Xixi couldn’t hear anything the whole time. In the end, she only got a notification from Xu Mu that he had informed Zheng He. Who knew how Xu Mu had actually communicated with Zheng He?

It was not hard to deduce from this that Xu Mu and Qin Wei certainly had their little schemes.

That’s what made Chen Xixi change her mind.

Just hide away, lock them all in the warehouse directly, and that will keep them honest!

Chen Xixi didn’t answer Qin Wei’s question, but instead she said, "You four can look around in the warehouse to see if there’s mahjong. After you play for a while and settle down, you’ll be able to come out."

Xu Mu couldn’t hide his displeasure and said, "Are you playing tricks on me?"

Chen Xixi’s tone was filled with an air of innocence and harmlessness, "How am I playing tricks on you? Wasn’t it you who said you wanted to cooperate with us and lure Zheng He and Hu Yun over?"

Inside the warehouse, Zheng He turned to look at Xu Mu and angrily said, "So you really had plotted with Chen Xixi beforehand, playing a game of deception with me, is that it?!"

Xu Mu sighed helplessly, "Can’t you even discern that? She’s trying to drive a wedge between our relationship."

Zheng He, hands on hips, couldn’t see Xu Mu clearly in the darkness of the warehouse. He randomly stared in one direction, and yelled loudly, "Bah! If you guys didn’t message us, would we have come here?! Just now you told me they had left! In fact, you guys knew where they were hiding all along and deliberately conspired to lock me in here!"

Qin Wei spoke up defiantly, "You were on the lookout outside for quite a while yourself just now, didn’t you fail to see Chen Xixi too? It’s your own poor eyesight, why blame us!"

[Hahaha, brilliant, absolutely brilliant! Chen Xixi is so smart!]

[Wow! Infighting so soon, Chen Xixi truly never disappoints me!]

[The coordination between Chen Xixi and President Zhou is just too perfectly in sync!]

Zheng He was furious, who knew hiding away would make Chen Xixi virtually invisible!

He hadn’t seen a trace of Chen Xixi and Zhou Jinyuan around the warehouse at all.

Qin Wei let out a sigh, "Do we just stay here until the game is over?"

Zheng He refused to stay willingly in the dilapidated warehouse until the game ended. He pulled out his phone and sent messages to Han Qianyi, Wan Chen, and another group.

The messages, of course, were mainly about asking for help and seeking cooperation.

Then...

After Qian Yue announced the end of the game, only Chen Xixi and Zhou Jinyuan were seen at the small plaza.

Why were there only two people left out of ten?

Qian Yue scratched his head: "???" Where did their show’s guests go?

Qian Yue looked at Chen Xixi and Zhou Jinyuan puzzled and asked, "Where are the other guests?"

Chen Xixi pulled out the last key from her pocket and smiled, "They’re all in here."

"???"

You were all competing for points, and now you’ve gone and locked up all the guests?!
