Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Is There Anything She Can’t Do?

[Oh my... oh my god, was Ji Xizhi’s frailty just an act?]

[Pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger!!! Is this really not a martial arts film???]

[I’m done, if anyone says Ji Xizhi has poor acting skills again, I’ll fight them. The instant Ji Xizhi’s gaze switched, it pierced straight into my heart, sister finish me!!!]

The barrage of comments from fans were all stirred up by the sentence Ji Xizhi released, their blood boiling with excitement.

Only a few random viewers were still trying to persuade:

[Maybe report to the police first, this is too terrifying...]

[Exactly, what’s the filming PD doing? Why aren’t they rushing to help———!!!]

But before the persuasion could finish, they saw in the camera, Ji Xizhi standing by the river surrounded by four strong men moved, swiftly poking her phone into her pocket, lazily rolling up her sleeves, her long legs tightened, suddenly lifted up, and with a fierce cold wind, kicked the leading guard’s ear.

One strike hit, the guard was KO’d immediately.

[...............Alright, no need to help!]

The leading guard was knocked unconscious on the spot, the other three panicked instantly, they were usually arrogant in front of the villagers nearby, but faced with a tough opponent now, they wanted to flee immediately.

Unfortunately, Ji Xizhi didn’t give them a chance to leave, with three kicks she booted them into the polluted river.

The water by the riverbank wasn’t deep, couldn’t drown anyone, at most make them choke a bit, but these three acted like they had touched something, frantically struggling to get ashore.

Yet Ji Xizhi wouldn’t let them, she stood right by the riverbank, anyone wanting to emerge from the water got kicked back in by her.

"Help——Help!!! This river... cough cough can’t stay, this river can’t stay! Help!"

One managed to crawl up, crying and crawling toward Ji Xizhi.

Ji Xizhi didn’t kick him back, she just bent slightly, foot pressing on the person’s back, said, "Why? Why can’t stay?"

"These... these are polluted..." The guard had been here for a long time, knew quite a few things clearly.

He dared not hide anything now, explained things very clearly.

[Damn! Are these even human? Should just make them soak in the river overnight!!!]

[Sis upstairs, calm down, we have to trust Zhi Zhi, trust the law! Zhi Zhi just needs to be in self-defense, don’t get involved in any illegal acts!]

[Just now... was that Ji Xizhi? Has she learned boxing before? That KO move just now, was so clean!]

[Ahhh, godly girl, a scholar in literature and a martial god, is there anything she can’t do?]

Ji Xizhi obtained the key witness recording, then released the three, allowing them to come ashore.

The three guards choked during the ordeal in the river, stomachs full of dirty water, instinctively running to the riverbank to vomit.

Ji Xizhi didn’t care, she planned to head upstream to the drainage area to film more evidence, turning around, she saw Fang Yuliang standing in the grass not far from the riverbank, unclear how long he had been standing there.

They exchanged a glance, Ji Xizhi quickly guessed Fang Yuliang must be here to investigate this matter like her.

Having plant experts help gather evidence was beneficial to the case too.

Ji Xizhi thought no more, walked towards the nearby filming PDs, both showing slightly pale faces.

Especially when Ji Xizhi was surrounded by four strong men just now, they were filming the livestream purely on muscle memory.

Now Ji Xizhi walked over, both filming PDs still felt a sense of surviving calamity.

"Ji... Teacher Ji, you’re too formidable! Should we return to the program group first?"

Ji Xizhi’s expression didn’t change, she took the small HD camera from one of the program’s filming PDs.

She said, "I’ll go film some videos near the factory, you report to the police first and wait here."

Filming PD said: "That’s not possible, Teacher Ji, let’s act together while filming, we’re shooting professionally, we..."

The filming PDs’ words hadn’t finished when Ji Xizhi took another program’s livestream camera, skillfully started changing lenses and adjusting the aperture, her technique almost rivaling that of the professional filming PDs.

Filming PD: "..."

[Hahaha Zhi Zhi snatching the filming PD’s job live!]

[The PD’s gaze is filled with melancholy, are all my shooting guests just eyeing my position?]

[PD: I’m the professional; Zhi Zhi: I’m more professional than you! Haha]

Ji Xizhi didn’t notice the filming PD’s expression, she did filming before, adjusted the camera settings accordingly, then looked up and replied: "I can protect myself, don’t worry about the filming, if possible, help me film the surrounding environment, I need more evidence."

The filming PD suddenly given an important task felt nervous immediately, "Alright!!!"

But after agreeing, seeing the guards almost collapsing by the river, he couldn’t help but worry, "Teacher Ji, how about we separate, one stays here filming, and one follows you upstream to see the factory, in case something happens, there can be someone to assist!"

The filming PD was still trying to persuade.

Suddenly a cold voice intervened: "I’ll go upstream with her."

As soon as the voice fell, the camera turned to Fang Yuliang who quietly walked over.

He still carried the black bag on his shoulder, speaking calmly.

The filming PD seemed excited: "Teacher Fang?!"

Fang Yuliang didn’t reply.

But Ji Xizhi glanced at Fang Yuliang, calmly refusing: "There’s no need, I’m more convenient alone."

"If a test report is needed, water samples near the factory need to be collected. I have sampling tools."

Ji Xizhi said: "...Alright."

Water sample test reports are indeed very important to the case, she couldn’t refuse.

So she agreed, Ji Xizhi finished responding, thought, and reminded one more thing.

"There should also be guards near the factory, if anything goes wrong, you leave with the collected samples first, the rest leave to me."

Leave first?

Fang Yuliang’s eyes seemed to be tinged with light laughter, what kind of person does she think he is?

He looked up to see Ji Xizhi’s serious gaze, he nodded with a smile.

"Okay."

The two headed upstream together.

The livestream camera switched to Ji Xizhi filming, and ever since Fang Yuliang arrived, fans in Ji Xizhi’s live room were speechless.

[@Director Wang, is this episode really ’Life Experience’, not a TVB drama detective series?]

[Director Wang wiping tears: Who the hell could have thought this!? (needs oxygen)]

[Damn, didn’t Fang Yuliang just smile? That smile was incredibly sweet, sugar right! Suddenly feeling Ji Fengyuan and Zhong Yulu’s sugar is fake, ugh! Now this is real sugar right here!!]

[A wild detective film, live shooting, no stunt doubles, real martial arts shots, high beauty and high IQ duo! Doesn’t this beat industrial sugar substitutes?]

[I used to hear rumors about Ji Xizhi clinging to a mistress, now I thought it was true, but now it seems to be slander, I will never trust Hangxing Entertainment again, supporting Ji Xizhi in battle, waiting for a court hearing!!]

[Oh! I just hope Zhi Zhi can safely gather enough decisive evidence to help Ping’an Village! (wishes)]

The fans initially coming from other guests’ livestream rooms for a peek planned to leave right away.

But since coming in, half an hour passed, no one left, no one had any intention of leaving.

Everyone shared a kind of tacit agreement, spontaneously nestled in Ji Xizhi’s live room.

It’s better to witness CP here, better to watch drama here, when it comes to ability this place is an unbeatable thrill, who could leave?!

Ji Xizhi’s livestream room traffic started to explode, more and more fans flocked in, eventually almost all fans from the other five guests’ livestreams poured into Ji Xizhi’s livestream room.

Online, hot searches on Ji Xizhi’s weibo started skyrocketing, moving rapidly towards explosive trends.

Ji Fengyuan’s agent overseeing Ji Fengyuan’s situation closely watched the hot searches, noticing Ji Xizhi’s names climbing rapidly in a relentless momentum, immediately sensed something amiss.

Turned around to call Ji Fengyuan, intending to notify him, but couldn’t get through no matter what.
