Peninsula: My cheat code is unscientific

Chapter 44 Li Wolong

With a low growl from Jiang Che, amidst the screams of the surrounding fans, the astonished gaze of Taeyeon and Sunny inside the car, and the silent lip movements of the driver who seemed unable to utter a word...

Yoo Jae-suk was shoved into the passenger seat of a taxi by Kang Cheol like a folded cell phone!
"Click!"

With lightning speed, Jiang Che slammed the passenger door shut while Yoo Jae-suk was still in a daze.

After closing the door, Jiang Che didn't dare to delay for a second. He opened the back door, quickly climbed in, and slammed the door shut behind him!

"Driver! Fisherman's Wharf! Drive!" Jiang Che quickly patted the back of the driver's seat and shouted in Chinese.

The taxi driver was clearly a seasoned viewer of Running Man, having witnessed the entire unbelievable process from inside his car. Far from showing any fear, his face displayed amusement, and he even gave a thumbs-up to Jiang Che in the rearview mirror.
"Don't worry! Hold on tight!"

Before he could finish speaking, the driver floored the gas pedal!
The taxi lurched forward suddenly, and Yoo Jae-suk finally snapped out of his daze. "Ah!" he exclaimed, frantically grabbing his seatbelt.

Outside the car window, the screams of the fans were quickly left behind.

Inside the car, Jiang Che leaned against Taeyeon and took the suitcase back. He felt more exhausted than if he had run a full marathon in just a short while. Taeyeon wiped the sweat from Jiang Che's forehead with a tissue. Although she knew beforehand that the alternate personality was very strong, she was still shocked to see this scene.

Sunny, meanwhile, was looking at Yoona with a strange expression.

Yoo Jae-suk, who had been forcibly shoved into the passenger seat, finally came to his senses. His hair was disheveled, his clothes were wrinkled, and the lingering soreness in his arms made him subconsciously move his arm.
She turned her head and looked at Jiang Che in the back row with the eyes of someone looking at an alien, her voice trembling.
"Yoon...Yoona..." Yoo Jae-suk's voice was filled with deep confusion:
"You...you have strength...have you trained in weightlifting and sumo wrestling? And how can you grab the tendons so accurately?" He felt like his worldview had been shattered by Yoona's actions.

The slender and tall Lim Yoona, with not an ounce of meat on her body, just shoved a grown man like him into the car like a folded cell phone? That doesn't make any sense!
Jiang Che quickly put on a sweet smile and began to speak:
"Ani-oh, Jae-seok oppa! It was when I was filming in China that I happened to learn a few moves from a local master... um, I think he was a Shaolin disciple... or a Wudang disciple?"

I don't remember exactly, but it was some kind of traditional kung fu! They said it could be used for self-defense, so I practiced it casually, using mostly skillful techniques.

Taeyeon, standing to the side, couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of her mouth as she listened to this nonsense, but she immediately pursed her lips, her shoulders trembling almost imperceptibly.

Yoo Jae-suk, upon hearing this, suddenly understood, his eyes lighting up as his earlier shock instantly transformed into keen interest.
"Wow! Really? Chinese Kung Fu?! That's amazing! Yoona, teach Oppa sometime! This move is so useful!"

As he spoke, he gestured to his still-numb arm, seemingly already imagining his heroic figure when he learned the technique and could take on Kim Jong-kook.

"Yes, yes, yes, definitely! I'll definitely teach you when I have the chance!" Jiang Che readily agreed, his smile bright, but in his heart he was thinking: 'People I don't know well are definitely easier to fool.'

The word "not familiar" flashed through Jiang Che's mind, and he suddenly realized—that's right, Sunny was right next to him! She's not someone he's not familiar with!
He had a bad feeling. Pretending that his neck was uncomfortable, he casually shook his neck and saw Sunny looking at him, seemingly lost in thought.

Jiang Che felt his whole body going numb again, and almost instinctively wanted to avoid eye contact, but he immediately stopped himself. Learning from Taeyeon's lesson, he was no longer the same Jiang Che!
This time, he didn't try to avoid it. Seeing that Sunny was still looking at him, he immediately showed a sweet, innocent smile and took the initiative to speak:
"Unnie? Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something weird on my face?"

Sunny blinked twice instinctively upon hearing this. She paused, then forced a habitual smile and waved her hand.

"Ani, no, it's just that... our Yoona was a little too cool just now."

Jiang Che breathed a sigh of relief and became shy: "Unnie, please don't make fun of me. I just did it in a moment of panic."

After this Oscar-worthy performance, Sunny finally stopped looking at Jiang Che and shook her head with a smile, looking out the window.

Seeing that Sunny wasn't looking at him anymore, Jiang Che took the opportunity to adjust his posture while holding the suitcase, his gaze lowered as if he was completely attracted by the suitcase.

At that moment, Yoo Jae-suk's phone rang. It was the main PD calling, and the PD's voice, barely suppressing a laugh, could be heard on the other end.

"Yoo Jae-suk-ssi, what's going on with you guys right now?"

Yoo Jae-suk speaks very fast:
"I don't know what happened either. In the blink of an eye, I was already in a taxi with Yoona and the others. VJ didn't get in the car either. Did Kwangsoo find the box?"

"Am I going to go to the dock alone? If I get there, can I steal someone else's suitcase and have a locksmith unlock it?" As he spoke, he turned to look at the suitcase in Taeyeon's hand.

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the walkie-talkie, then the PD's voice came through clearly:

“VJ Fisherman’s Wharf also has them. As for what you’re talking about, you need the whole team to be at Fisherman’s Wharf. Even if you have a crate, it’s useless if your teammates aren’t there. Secondly…” At this point, the PD finally couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"Your teammate Lee Kwang-soo... he's... still at the airport entrance..."

The camera cuts back to the airport.

The scene that I imagined—Lee Kwang-soo anxiously searching for the box—did not materialize.

Instead, a lively and bustling scene, comparable to a small fan meeting, was created!
Lee Kwang-soo was standing in a relatively spacious area at the airport entrance, surrounded by a group of enthusiastic fans! He had a bright smile on his face, holding a pen he'd somehow acquired, and was frantically signing a notebook handed to him by a fan, muttering something under his breath:
"Fighting! Thank you for supporting Running Man! Thank you for supporting Kwang-soo!"

After signing one, there was another; after signing one, there was another. Lee Kwang-soo accepted them all without hesitation, signing with great enthusiasm.

During the intervals between signing autographs, he also spontaneously performed what he considered to be an incredibly cool robotic dance, eliciting screams and cheers from the surrounding fans.

"Kwangsoo oppa! Can we win today?" a fan shouted.

Lee Kwang-soo stopped dancing, flashed a big V-sign at the camera, and spoke in a loud, confident voice:
"Of course! With me and Jae-seok hyung here! The two of us are invincible! We've got this in the bag! Everyone just wait and see us take first place!" He even winked at the camera.

Not far away, the VJs and PDs of Running Man watched this scene completely deviate from the script. One of the younger PDs couldn't hold back any longer and whispered to the main PD:

“PD-nim…should we…remind Kwang-soo-ssi…about the box…and Jae-seok-hyung…”

　Newbie seeking everything, let's go!
