You were asked to be on a dating variety show, but all the guests failed?

Chapter 306 Coercion and inducement

While the doctor was hesitating, he looked around, as if to be alert to whether there was anyone around.

But in fact, he took this opportunity to look around and glanced at the nurse not far away.

The nurse stood behind Zhao Mingtao, about ten meters away, and silently made an "OK" gesture to the doctor, indicating that he agreed.

Given the distance between them, if there were no other factors affecting the situation, Zhao Mingtao's plan was indeed reasonable. Logically, the nurse had no way of hearing what they were saying. Both of them spoke softly, and even the last few sentences sounded like whispers. Even at a distance of ten meters, even a person with a super hearing could not hear clearly.

But he has a cheat.

The doctor didn’t have headphones, but Zhao Mingtao had a camera clipped on his collar!

Under Zhu Chengbiao's operation, the images and sounds captured by the invisible camera were not transmitted to the live broadcast room, but to the nurses. The nurses could hear the real-time broadcast of the conversation between the two parties directly through their headphones and gave instructions to the doctors in a timely manner without any delay.

The doctor immediately understood.

He shook his head and said helplessly:
"Then, let's do it."

"But this matter is not just about me agreeing to it. Lu Siyuan is also involved. You have to ask him what he means. If he doesn't want to, I won't force him. Not just for the sake of cigarettes."

"You have to tell him that I have no personal grudge against him. I deliberately pulled him out on the deck to talk alone on the ship. If it wasn't for his health, why would I go to the trouble of offending him, right?"

Zhao Mingtao immediately patted his chest and shook the doctor's hand with sincerity and understanding:

"I understand, I understand. You are a kind-hearted doctor. Lu Siyuan is used to being a bully in the entertainment industry. Besides, the other guests didn't like him. He was anxious and angry at that time, so he treated you badly."

"Don't worry, most of the problems have been solved now. As long as I explain it to him clearly, he will agree!"

"How about this, you wait here for a while, I'll go find Lu Siyuan now, it would be best if you two can talk it out face to face and reconcile, that would be the best outcome."

The doctor could hardly control his expression.

His eyelids were twitching wildly, and he tried hard to stop his facial muscles from twitching.

"You want me to explain the misunderstanding to Lu Siyuan face to face?"

Zhao Mingtao's behavior can no longer be considered courageous. This house really needs to be looked after by an expert!
If there is always a middleman between the doctor and Lu Siyuan, Zhao Mingtao can still say one thing to one person and another thing to another person, deceiving both sides. Under normal circumstances, due to the presence of cameras and other people, it is difficult for the two of them to talk to each other alone, which can minimize the probability of being exposed.

However, if Zhao Mingtao deliberately created an opportunity for the two of them to have contact alone, the risk factor would be too high!
Zhao Mingtao looked normal and nodded sincerely:

"Yes, that's right, we'll meet alone."

"I know that Lu Siyuan has a bit of a bad temper and sometimes speaks without thinking, but he really doesn't have any bad intentions. Besides, as a middleman, it's okay for me to contact you on his behalf, but if I have to do the reconciliation on your behalf, it would be too insincere."

"Don't worry, I'll go back now and call him over. It'll only take about 10 to 20 minutes to go back and forth. You shouldn't be in a hurry, right? If you're worried, we can go with you after we've explained everything. We can just say we met on the way and there's a guest there. Director Li won't make things difficult for you."

He had said all the good and bad things by himself, so the doctor certainly had no room to refuse.

What's more, the doctor really wanted to see what this guy was up to. What was his purpose in going through so many twists and turns? He didn't know how big the risks were.

So he agreed.

Zhao Mingtao smiled happily, turned around and walked a few steps, patted the nurse on the shoulder, and said to her:

"I've already talked to the doctor. I'll go back now and call Lu Siyuan over. Please wait here with the doctor. I remember how to get there and will be back soon."

The nurse frowned, looking reluctant:

"You go back by yourself? That's not a good idea. After all, I brought you here. If you get lost or something happens on the way, the production team will investigate and the doctor and I will be held fully responsible."

"It's just a matter of walking a few more steps. I won't ask you what you want to do, but it's always safer for me to go back with you."

Zhao Mingtao shook his head and lowered his voice helplessly:

"To tell you the truth, it's because Lu Siyuan and the doctor had a big fight on the boat before, and the doctor insisted that he was sick, so the two had to reconcile. After all, the doctor still has to go find the production team, and if they run into each other and they have a fight again, it won't look good in the filming."

"Lu Siyuan is very stubborn. I didn't bring you along because I thought I could have a good talk with him on the way and try to persuade him first, so as to avoid bringing him along and causing even more trouble. Wouldn't that be a waste of time?"

"Don't worry, I know the directions. I also memorized the route when I came here. What's more, I'm coming with Lu Siyuan. We're two grown men, so what can go wrong?"

The nurse hesitated for a full half minute before reluctantly agreeing.

"Well, then, you must pay attention to safety. In case of an accident, there is an emergency button behind the microphone on your chest. Press it to call for help."

…………

In the RV.

The atmosphere between Lu Siyuan and Shu Yi was quite awkward.

Because of the violence that night, the two had actually completely fallen out, but Zhao Mingtao had been mediating, so it seemed that they could still maintain a superficial peace. But now that Zhao Mingtao had left, they had absolutely nothing to say to each other, and even awkward conversation was very forced.

Fortunately, after a long and awkward period of time, Zhao Mingtao returned to the RV.

But he didn't get in the car either. He just waved to Lu Siyuan at the door and said:

"Lu Siyuan, come out for a moment."

Although Lu Siyuan didn't know what he was going to do, his body reacted faster than his brain and he stood up subconsciously. However, at this time, the two PDs who were huddled in the corner also stood up quickly and prepared to follow the two men to shoot.

Seeing this, Zhao Mingtao stopped it in time:

"Oh, no, no, no, Lu Siyuan told me before that his stomach was not feeling well, but he was a bit picky about the place, and he really couldn't accept a bad environment."

"When I went to the toilet just now, I found a place that was quite clean and there were no snakes, insects, rats or ants, so I ran back to take him there."

"There's no need to film this kind of thing, right?"

The two PDs looked at each other, remained silent for two seconds, and then quietly returned to their previous positions. Lu Siyuan followed Zhao Mingtao out of the car with a puzzled look on his face, but he was still sensible. He didn't ask in a low voice until he was a few dozen meters away from the RV:

"What do you want to say to me?"

He had never said that to Zhao Mingtao. Where on this broken island is there no snakes, insects, rats or ants? I'm afraid there's no place except the director's tent, but he couldn't possibly shit in Li Wensheng's unlucky tent.

Zhao Mingtao laughed and pointed at Lu Siyuan's pocket:
"Is the cigarette still on you?"

Lu Siyuan's eyes suddenly widened and he blurted out a traditional Chinese saying:

"Fuck, are you fucking crazy? You're going to take me to the island to smoke this stuff? You're that addicted?!"

Zhao Mingtao glanced at him disdainfully and sneered:
"I'm not you, how can I be that crazy?"

"Seriously, Lu Siyuan, you should know clearly now that even if you have the medical report to prove your diagnosis, eight out of the nine people don't believe that you are not sick, not to mention the audience."

"Look at the way you cornered the doctor on the ship and coerced him to testify for you. I'm afraid you can't clear yourself up no matter what you do."

Lu Siyuan became strangely quiet.

That's right.

Although the report proved his "innocence" to a certain extent, the reaction of Han Fei and his gang showed that the report was not as convincing as expected. In other words, it was useful, but it came too late. He had already had an argument with the doctor in front of everyone and acted very anxious.

When he gets angry, it really speaks volumes.

If you don’t even have confidence in yourself, how can others trust you?
After a brief silence, Lu Siyuan's voice became a little cold:
"And then, what do you want to say?"

Zhao Mingtao shrugged as he walked, his expression relaxed:
"What I want to say is that I have found a way for you to really clean yourself up. It depends on whether you are willing to take some risks."

Lu Siyuan was not immediately happy, but frowned and looked at him, a little suspicious:
"If even the inspection report can't convince them, what else can you do?"

"Risks, what exactly are they?"

Zhao Mingtao slowed down his pace, patted his shoulder with his right hand, and said earnestly:
"Xiao Yuan, actually when we were on the boat, I already felt that something was not right."

"Think about it yourself. It's well known that Han Fei has a grudge against you. The yacht and the people on it all belong to Qi Qingyi. It's also known that Qi Qingyi has a good relationship with Han Fei."

"Do you think it's such a coincidence that a bartender who has no grudge against you suddenly appeared on Qi Qingyi's boat and said you were infected with M virus in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers just because he saw a rash on your body?"

"If no one arranged this, I wouldn't believe it."

"Compared to that, that doctor is still considered to have medical ethics. He knew you were a celebrity, so he deliberately pulled you outside to talk about this matter. I think he should be someone that Qi Qingyi and Han Fei did not expect."

As Lu Siyuan listened, his eyes gradually widened, his pupils gradually contracted, and he felt cold sweat breaking out.

He was so shocked that his voice was distorted:
"You mean, this is a trap set by Han Fei and Qi Qingyi, just to bring me down completely?!"

"But...but now it's like this, what does it have to do with that doctor, what does it have to do with clearing your name?"

Zhao Mingtao smiled, looking calm:
"Don't worry, I said I would help you, we are in the same boat."

"Yesterday I sensed something was wrong, so I privately handed the doctor a cigarette - yes, the one you have in your pocket right now."

"Don't look at me like a lunatic. Isn't this all for you?"

"I asked before handing over the cigarette. The doctor has no background in studying abroad, and has never even been abroad. He is probably just one of those hardworking doctors in the hospital. Even if I lit the cigarette and let him smell it, he wouldn't know what the smell is."

"Yesterday I gave him cigarettes, and today he actually told me that these cigarettes are just like stinky tofu, which smells bad but tastes good! Haha, you are so scared of such an ignorant person?"

Perhaps because he was frightened, Lu Siyuan's mind was working very fast.

He immediately caught the key words:
"Today? Did you see him today? Wasn't he on the ship with you? He was on the ship the whole time. How did you see him?"

Zhao Mingtao showed a smug smile, full of confidence and everything going according to plan:
"Didn't you hear what Li Wensheng said on the loudspeaker just now? They've put on a complete show. The doctor came down specially today to give you anti-allergy medicine. I spent a lot of money to bribe the nurse who examined us and asked her to take me to the path the doctor had to take. I said I was going to the bathroom just now, but in fact I was just waiting in the woods."

"He liked that cigarette very much. I gave him the cigarette I had left with me, and then told him that the cigarette was actually yours and that it was not available on the market. If he was willing to clarify it for you again in front of the camera and say a few good words, you would definitely be happy to give him the whole box of cigarettes and help him get cigarettes in the future."

"He's waiting right here for us to come over. Talk to him and get over this hurdle in the show first before we talk about anything else."

Lu Siyuan was so shocked that he was almost speechless.

He opened his mouth, hesitating for a long time before saying with difficulty:
"Aren't you afraid... that after he leaves the show, he'll find out what this cigarette is and use it as a handle to threaten us?"

Zhao Mingtao curled his lips, looking calm and composed.

"What are you afraid of? After the show, are you still afraid of him, an ordinary person?"

"He's not a great doctor. You don't need to do anything to him. He'll be scared if you just threaten him a few times. Even if he's really that tough..."

He made a knife out of his palm, pointed at his neck, and whispered softly:
"Haven't you seen my uncle do this kind of thing before?"

Lu Siyuan's lips trembled slightly.

He really wanted to tell Zhao Mingtao that he had only heard of it but had never seen it!

It's a matter of life and death... Isn't this a real test of one's mental quality? !

Seeing that Lu Siyuan remained silent for a long time, Zhao Mingtao's expression gradually changed.

He frowned slowly, stopped, turned his head and stared into Lu Siyuan's eyes, and asked in a deep voice:
"Why, I have paved the way for you in everything ahead, but now you don't dare to do it?"

"Lu Siyuan, I advise you to think carefully. If you miss the opportunity in this show, you will never be able to completely clean up the fact that you have an illness. Think about your future!"
