Chapter 254: Chapter 254: Undressing the Horse on the Spot, Were You an Archer Before?

"You little rascal," Jiang Man scoffed lightly, "why don’t I see you taking such an interest in women?"

"Ah, I just have a pure and simple desire, no more talking, I’m buying a plane ticket to your place now!"

"Hung up." Jiang Man didn’t ramble on.

After hanging up the call, she gave Lu Xingzhou an OK sign, "Just wait, good news will come very soon."

"Wu Yingfan?" Lu Xingzhou’s brows knotted into a frown, "It seems both of your identities are not simple?"

Jiang Man smiled slightly, slipping her hands into her pockets, "His identity is indeed extraordinary, like the kind that once exposed, he would be kidnapped and shot by various forces in minutes."

"Not just him, me too."

She suddenly walked close to Lu Xingzhou, bending down, "So it’s better for us to keep a low profile. You don’t want us to be separated from our heads, do you?"

Lu Xingzhou held his breath, incredulous.

He had thought Jiang Man’s Lisite family was formidable, but he had not expected it to be to the extent she described.

Once the identity is exposed, they would be immediately kidnapped and killed?

"Then it seems your families’ businesses are not very respectable, with many enemies?" Lu Xingzhou asked tentatively.

"Hmm-hmm." Jiang Man shrugged her shoulders, then suddenly smiled wickedly, "Just kidding, it’s not as bad as separation of head from the body, but the identity indeed cannot be exposed."

"There’s more." Her eyes blazed, piercing like fire, "Even if you wanted to investigate, you wouldn’t find anything, right?"

Facing the girl’s wicked gaze, Lu Xingzhou, for some reason, felt an unexplainable sense of suppression.

The girl carried a powerful aura, clearly someone who had experienced many significant events.

The more curious he became about the entirety of Jiang Man, the more he found it a complex tangle, impossible to unravel.

"Don’t bother investigating me. If the timing is right, I will reveal everything to you. At that moment, that will be the real beginning of us being together."

Jiang Man’s eyes sparkled, speaking with a vivacious smile.

"If I’m not planning to spend the rest of my life with you, naturally I wouldn’t want to tell you everything. After all, adults should have some privacy, right?"

"Understood, and respected," Lu Xingzhou smiled.

He remembered how, driven by curiosity, he had been asking Zhao Huai to investigate Jiang Man.

But at that moment, he changed his mind.

If he couldn’t win Jiang Man’s heart, what was the point in uncovering her secrets?

"So I just wait for my wife to cover for me? The tin mine business is yours to handle?"

"Don’t worry," Jiang Man patted Lu Xingzhou’s shoulder.

She looked up at the clear blue sky through the floor-to-ceiling window.

The sky was clear, with warm sunshine.

"I’m feeling much better today. I can go for the shooting."

"Alright." Lu Xingzhou didn’t stop her.

"Oh, by the way," Jiang Man remembered something before leaving, "if you want me to finish this variety show early, then hurry up and find a female celebrity of similar status as JOJO to come over."

"Small problem." Lu Xingzhou mimicked Jiang Man’s usual confident demeanor and made an OK gesture.

Jiang Man responded with a smile, "You’re awesome! Then I’m off."

Between the two of them now, was it mutual assistance? Or... were they a couple united, strong enough to cut through metal?

...

The travel content for today’s show was simple—sampling local delicacies.

Thai-style raw pickles, fruit salads, Tom Yum Goong, curry dishes, seafood extravaganzas...

These mouth-watering, trendy online delicacies that fans craved were all on their to-visit list.

Different from the previous atmosphere, today Mi Duo and Zhou Ying were very enthusiastic upon seeing Jiang Man.

It was as if the hard nuts had been scared off and were now playing nice.

It wasn’t just the two of them whose demeanor had dramatically changed; even Bei Ling seemed like a completely different person.

The audience was baffled by the change in these individuals.

+Have they been cursed? Why have they all changed personalities so drastically?

+ Where’s my ’Jiang Bei’ CP? Why is the super topic gone?

While the audience was frantically flooding the screen with messages, a few people had already arrived at the entrance of a seafood restaurant.

A huge standing sign was there, with ’Great Challenge, Win a King’s Feast Coupon’ written in both Chinese and Thai!

How could the director pass up such a big spectacle?

[This is the place.]

The director’s instruction immediately rang in the earpieces of the seven people.

Mi Duo stepped forward and carefully read the game rules written in small print.

"Dart throwing? Ten darts per person, hit seven or more in the tens ring, and the whole table eats for free. Ten people per table, five participants allowed; five people per table, two participants allowed."

"There are seven of us, so does that mean only three can participate?"

Zhou Ying echoed, peeking into the restaurant.

The shop owner was Chinese, and his enthusiasm was ignited upon seeing the cameramen and cameras following them.

Although he didn’t recognize who these people were, he didn’t need to guess to know they were celebrities shooting a program!

He eagerly invited them inside the restaurant to show them the dartboard.

Once everyone walked in, they saw it was twenty meters away.

"Isn’t this too difficult?" Mi Duo pouted. "Their King’s Feast isn’t easy to win, huh."

"Duoduo, aren’t you really good at archery?" Zhou Ying raised her eyebrows, starting to dig for gossip.

"Weren’t you an archery athlete before you entered the entertainment circle?"

As soon as this was said, the live chat exploded.

+ What? Is it so straightforward to expose someone’s past nowadays?

+ Who would’ve thought, Duoduo was an athlete? And in archery too?

In an instant, Mi Duo gained countless fans.

Mi Duo smiled awkwardly.

Before she entered the entertainment industry, she indeed was an archery athlete, but she’d only made it to the county team, and her skills were just passable.

But that was all more than ten years ago. In the years since, she hadn’t touched a bow and arrow and had long grown rusty.

But Zhou Ying didn’t care; if she could use this opportunity to hype up Mi Duo and overshadow Jiang Man, she would be satisfied.

On the surface, they were all respectful towards Jiang Man, but that was only because they feared Lu Xingzhou who was backing her.

If it weren’t for Lu Xingzhou’s support, who would indulge her?

And Zhou Ying wasn’t the only one with that thought—Mi Duo felt the same way.

She felt that she didn’t need to be exceptional; as long as she could beat Jiang Man, that would be enough.

"Manman, how about you join me?" Mi Duo extended an olive branch.

Jiang Man had her hands in her pockets, her reaction indifferent: "You go ahead and play."

"Oh come on, it’s all just for fun, the most important thing is to have a good time." Mi Duo became even more enthusiastic.

"With Mi Duo here, we’ll just be responsible for having fun." Xu Chengzhou stepped forward with a playful mindset, eager to try his hand.

"So am I in? Shall I go first?"

Xu Chengzhou flicked his hair back, intentionally playing it cool for the camera.

He usually enjoyed playing darts, and his aim was pretty good.

If he couldn’t charm Jiang Man, charming the live audience was also fine.

Seeing that three participants had already been chosen, nobody else argued for the spot.

Jiang Man, gently pushed by Zhou Ying, somehow found herself inexplicably joining the group of three.

"No worries, Manman, even if you miss all the shots, it’s the taking part that counts," Mi Duo comforted with apparent kindness, but inside she was over the moon.

With tens of thousands watching the live broadcast, she couldn’t wait for Jiang Man to embarrass herself in public.

Jiang Man arched an eyebrow, her face calm and collected, "Alright then, you two go first; I’ll take up the rear."
