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

Chapter 79 Do you have any clues?

Outside the cave.

Han Fei and Nie Wenjin walked side by side, each holding a wooden stick they picked up at random in their hands. They knocked on the ground around them as they walked, hitting the thick weeds and dead branches, making a rustling sound.

This is what is called alerting the enemy, and it is also what Han Fei asked Nie Wenjin to do. He didn't want to encounter the situation just now again.

All three groups encountered snakes. The mountains were already very unsafe. Even if all the snakes had been devenomed, there was no guarantee that there would be no snakes that escaped. If something really happened, it would be no joke. Besides, Qi Qingyi and Han Fei were allies now, and Nie Wenjin was her idol, so she should take care of him.

When they were a little further away from the cave and there was no one around, Han Fei took the initiative to ask:

"Sister Wenjin, do you have something to tell me?"

Nie Wenjin seemed a little caught off guard. He didn't expect him to be so direct. He hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Why do you say that? My two sisters were frightened, Lu Siyuan was injured, and Ren Tuo stayed behind to watch over me. I am the oldest among the female guests, so I should take responsibility when something happens. Is there any problem with that?"

Han Fei smiled.

I didn't expect that this actress Nie still wants to hide something. Is it necessary?

He paused for a moment and looked at Nie Wenjin:
"There is a high probability that there will be no signal for the live broadcast now. Let's be frank, Sister Wen Jin. I know you have advised Qi Qingyi not to get too close to me because I am in a difficult situation now. The company is suppressing me like crazy, trying to use negative information and workload to force me to terminate the contract early and pay the penalty. The program crew even planned to use me as a gimmick to sacrifice to the gods."

"You love her and hope that she won't be implicated in my affairs. I can totally understand that. To put it bluntly, even if all the guests keep their distance from me, I think that's normal. We are all well-known and rely on the audience to make a living. No one wants to be tainted by scandals."

"But since you have already advised Qi Qingyi, I don't understand why you still want to come out with me now."

"If you're saying that the live broadcast room has probably been shut down, and that going out with me to collect firewood won't affect your reputation, then you should know that Lu Siyuan and I have a grudge, right? You signed with Wushuang Films, the leader in the domestic film and television industry, but the people behind him are not bad either. He's such a petty person, aren't you worried that he'll target you for revenge in the future?"

"It doesn't matter whether Qi Qingyi is close to me or not. She has no intention of joining the circle. She came to the dating show just for fun. Even if we take a step back, with her family background, if she wants to join the circle, I don't think anyone can do anything to her."

"You're different, aren't you?"

Nie Wenjin was speechless for a moment.

Although his words were rough but his logic was sound, Han Fei's words were a bit too straightforward. Everyone in this circle speaks in a roundabout way, and when they curse someone, they have to go around in circles eight times before you can understand their meaning. How could he be like this?

However, now that he had already spoken out, there was no need for her to continue hiding it.

After a moment of silence, Nie Wenjin said:

"I think something strange happened in the mountains today."

"The three groups of people we met so far had different departure times and different routes, but they all arrived at the cave almost at the same time. I absolutely don't believe it's a coincidence. We followed the route designated by the program team to go up the mountain. There was no fork in the road all the way up, so we arrived at the cave and then met the others. I guess you guys should have done the same thing."

"Logically speaking, this should be a route specially designed by the program team. To play real-life CS, the guests must be placed in one area, and the area near the cave is the preset location. If nothing unexpected happens, everyone will meet in this small area one after another, and then start attacking each other to decide the winner."

"It looks like a very well designed plan. It doesn't look like something that was designed in just a few hours, does it?"

"It just so happens that every group of us has encountered the most basic security issues." "I know there is a lot of negative information about you online, and I also know that your company is suppressing you, but this circle is actually not big, and everyone has heard about each other's behavior and work. Han Fei, you are a good person, and judging from your style of doing things and speaking, you are also very reliable, so I chose to come out with you just now-"

"This show has been weird from beginning to end, with one surprise after another, so weird that I wouldn't be surprised if a guest died in the mountains. As for how to break the deadlock... do you have any idea?"

Han Fei was silent for a while and did not answer her. He just walked forward a little and picked up some dead branches and tucked them under his armpits and arms.

When there were so many firewood that he had to hold it in one hand, Han Fei handed some to Nie Wenjin and continued to pick up the firewood while slowly saying:

"You are very perceptive, much more perceptive than Qi Qingyi."

"I don't think there's anything wrong with the production team. They're just an ordinary production team. But there's a higher chance that someone in the production team has bad intentions, or even someone among the guests is wrong."

"The snakes in this mountain should have been released by staff in advance. Don't blame me for being a pessimist. If I had to guess, there might be something wrong in the cave, but I can't tell what the problem is yet. Anyway, if I had gone to so much trouble to release snakes on several roads, I wouldn't have left the cave as a gathering point."

"That's why I must find an opportunity to make a fire. Most snakes, insects, rats, ants and even large animals are afraid of fire. If there is a fire source, there will be more protection."

"If you must ask me who has a problem..."

"I can only say that I feel there are problems with many of the guests on this show."

"The thunder from Zhong Xiaoyun's explosion wasn't that big. There are bigger ones, but I can't bring them up right now. You'd better observe more on your own when you return to the cave. Don't trust anyone if you encounter danger. No one is trustworthy."

Nie Wenjin's face turned pale, and after a long pause he asked:

"What about you? Aren't you very eager to help others and bravely do what is right regardless of the danger? Even you can't be trusted?"

Han Fei straightened up, stopped picking up firewood, turned around and stared at her seriously:
"Yes, even I can't believe it."

"I will indeed be soft-hearted and save people, but I am not a saint. I will only lend a helping hand when I can ensure my own safety, and I will only save people I think are worth saving."

"To put it bluntly, I wouldn't even blink if Lu Siyuan died in front of me. Saving his life is disrespectful to my personality."

"Repay evil with kindness, how can you repay kindness? Sister Wen Jin, don't you think so?"

Nie Wenjin wiped the sweat from his forehead with his tactical-gloved hands, took several deep breaths, and finally sighed.

She whispered:

"You... never mind. If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't do better than you. Just like that, you're fine."

Han Fei's heart moved and he turned to look at her:

"Do you know about Lu Siyuan?"
