Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 875 - 873: Playing for a Thrill (Part 1)

Because on the day of the opening ceremony, He Yinyin had proactively chatted with Da Bao and Little Treasure, so Nuonuo felt they should still remember her.

But actually, if Miss He Yinyin hadn’t done so many little tricks and been so obviously ambitious, both Da Bao and Little Treasure would have completely forgotten about such a love-struck woman at first glance.

Even though they have smart minds and amazing memories, they would never waste a bit of energy on an irrelevant woman, even if it were just a few brain cells, they would be reluctant to waste them on such a person.

Da Bao glanced at the woman on the screen, and yes, it was indeed He Yinyin.

Then, he thoughtfully glanced at Little Treasure again. So, this is what this kid meant by "fixing" things?

With mental preparation, Da Bao watched the screen with a look of amazement and interest.

Meanwhile, the oblivious Nuonuo watched excitedly as the host first put a blindfold on He Yinyin.

"Handsome guy, what’s this segment?"

Although He Yinyin was a little stunned, she looked excited. Clearly, she wasn’t familiar with the segment but was full of anticipation.

"Sister Yin, this is today’s special segment, it’s all about excitement!"

The handsome host smiled as he guided the blindfolded He Yinyin onto the lift platform, and soon, they were transported to a high platform about seven or eight meters up, with a transparent glass water tank below.

This trendy host named Peng Mian has risen to fame rapidly over the past few years. Besides his devastatingly handsome appearance, his unique hosting style, characterized by sharp and spicy interview questions with guests, was key to his swift rise.

Just like now, as soon as they steadied themselves on the platform, Peng Mian asked.

"Sister Yin, there are rumors that many actresses like to take shortcuts, such as the unspoken rules and buying roles and such. Tell us, Sister Yin, do you think you reached where you are today by walking step by step diligently, or by taking shortcuts?"

Such a question left Nuonuo stunned with her mouth slightly agape. As a colleague of He Yinyin, she secretly wiped a cold sweat for her.

But the Da Bao and Little Treasure brothers, enjoying the show, didn’t mind if things got big. Their slightly similar faces bore an expression of interest and mystery.

Others might not notice anything, but as their mother, Le Tong clearly knew her two sons must be involved in this televised affair, because their expressions were clearly those of a hunter when its prey falls into the trap — pleased and satisfied!

"Why would he ask such a question?" Nuonuo muttered quietly, feeling unfair for her colleague.

Little Treasure rolled his eyes at Nuonuo, leaned in, and whispered to her ear, "Stupid sister, don’t you know? This He Yinyin is spreading rumors on set, saying that you got the lead role by climbing into Boss Ji’s bed."

Nuonuo’s face suddenly changed!

She looked wide-eyed at Daddy, then at Little Treasure.

Just as Da Bao and Little Treasure cannot tolerate others bullying Nuonuo, Nuonuo likewise cannot tolerate anyone bullying or slandering her family.

If He Yinyin went around saying her acting skills were lacking, she could accept it, but involving Daddy in such vile rumors, that she would never accept!

At this moment, He Yinyin, blindfolded on TV, after hearing the host’s question, had an expression similar to Nuonuo’s, her smile froze cornered at her lips for quite a while.

Clearly, she didn’t expect the host to ask such a question either.

"Sister Yin?" Peng Mian softly reminded her from the side.

"Oh..." He Yinyin, brought back to her senses, forced out a stiff smile.

"I think I definitely reached here by walking step by step..." He Yinyin had just said that when immediately the ground under her feet clicked and she screamed "Ah", followed by a "plop", as she fell from the high platform into the glass water tank below.

The audience was also shocked, but before they could react, in the blink of an eye, He Yinyin had been fished out of the water tank by staff, her wet body shivering and if not for the staff supporting her, she might have collapsed on the stage in fright.

Peng Mian stepped off the lift platform, fetched a large coat, and crouched beside her to kindly drape it over her shoulders while gently removing her blindfold.

He Yinyin blankly stared into the void with an expression of terror for quite a while before her gaze finally regained some focus, but the horror in her eyes remained undiminished.

With an apologetic expression, Peng Mian extended his hand under her arm and, with another staff member, forcibly sat her on a soft single sofa on stage.

"Sister Yin, I’m really sorry, I forgot to tell you, the place you were standing on earlier is actually a lie detector platform. Anyone standing on it, if they tell the truth, will stand on it safely, but if they lie, the lie detector will drop them into the water."

With an innocent look, Peng Mian wiped the water from He Yinyin’s face with a towel, explaining the rules of this "all about excitement" game to the audience and viewers at home.

He Yinyin’s lips slightly trembled. Poor thing, even in such a state, she remembered she was on a major variety show, facing the camera, and still wanted to maintain her minimal composure. After Peng Mian’s explanation, instead of flipping out, she managed to force an awkward smile.

Peng Mian stood up and slightly bowed to her, "Sister Yin, I’m sorry! We startled you!"

The selling point of Peng Mian’s show is partly about watching guests embarrass themselves, and the audience enjoys these spontaneous scares and thrills.

So, after Peng Mian apologized to He Yinyin on TV, he excused her excessive fright and inability to participate further, letting the staff help her off. Meanwhile, the audience took it all in their stride, continuing to watch the show, as if forgetting about He Yinyin’s incident shortly after.

On stage, other guests even raised their hands, expressing interest in trying this exhilarating lie detector game!

Nuonuo sat upright and silent on the sofa, watching He Yinyin being helped away by staff, her feelings too complex for words.

Da Bao and Little Treasure saw Nuonuo’s reaction, but seemed unsurprised.

No one watched the rest of the show attentively, while Little Treasure held an iPad, scrolling through online live comments.
