Chapter 621: Chapter 621: What Makes You Think I Would Save You?

The two walked for a long time before they reached a point where the path broke off, facing one trail that led up the mountain and another that led down. Jiang Li was troubled.

In the past few days, the Feng Shui energy field on the island had been so chaotic that it made it impossible for her to determine an accurate position, but she had roughly figured that Jiang Cheng should be in this vicinity.

"We’ll have to split up and search," Jiang Li said.

Zhao Lang glanced at the steep cliffs and volunteered, "I’ll head up the mountain."

"Alright."

Jiang Li took off her backpack and divided half of the food for him, but Zhao Lang only took one bottle of water and a few bags of compressed biscuits, smiling as he said,

"This will be enough for me; carrying too much would be heavy and hard to bring with me."

[Wuwuwu, Crown Prince, I’m going to cry to death.]

[Even though he’s so wealthy, he’s still such a gentleman, our young master is really fortunate.]

[Jiang Yan, just marry him already. If not, let me marry him.]

Seeing that he insisted, Jiang Li didn’t argue further, zipped up the bag, and slung it back over her shoulders.

"Be careful on your own."

Zhao Lang found her concern somewhat amusing, "Shouldn’t I be the one saying that to you? I’m a big guy, what do you have to worry about for me?"

"Besides," he pointed to the peace charm pendant on his chest, "I have this, don’t I? With it, it’s like having ten lives."

Jiang Li was amused by his banter and turned her face away.

"Alright, enough with the jokes; we should make the most of our time."

Since they were off-camera, the audience couldn’t hear clearly what they were discussing, but they felt that there was a subtle nuance in the interaction between the two.

[What should we do, family, I’m kind of shipping Sister Li and Crown Prince.]

[I feel it’s a good match too! Sister Li is so strong, she deserves someone wealthy like that!]

[The two of them are a good match visually as well! They’re like immortals descended to Earth, I can’t even imagine how beautiful their children would be.]

[But if Jiang Li does that, wouldn’t it mean she’s competing with Young Master Gu... Who cares, Young Master Gu doesn’t deserve her!]

Inside the director’s office, as they watched the two part ways, the assistant director was at a loss.

"Director, we only have one drone over there, who should it follow?"

In reality, he shouldn’t have had to ask this question.

One was the Gu Family’s Crown Prince, and the other was just an ordinary young lady who had become popular through public exposure.

Without a doubt, it was clear whose footage they should prioritize.

However, since He Pingzhang was right there, he still had to make it known.

He Pingzhang tapped his pale fingertips lightly on the table, his expression cold, "Do you really need to ask me such trivial questions?"

The assistant director mentally slapped himself.

Why did he have to run his mouth!

Then he looked at the operator beside him, "Send drone number 6 to follow Gu—"

"Of course, it should follow Jiang Li,"

Assistant director: "?"

Staff member: "?"

He Pingzhang’s dark eyes cast a threatening look their way, and he asked three critical questions: "Can’t you tell who’s more popular? Isn’t this show popular because of Jiang Li? Why waste resources on someone who’s not interesting?"

Assistant director: "?"

Ah?

Is this Director He... really from the Gu family?

...

After splitting up, Jiang Li followed the mountain path downwards.

Beside the mountain road flowed a river, a distributary of Dragon Ridge Lake, that had been dry but had become a turbulent flow due to three days of heavy rain.

The rain gradually stopped, and the weather in the afternoon felt oppressive.

The downhill path was not much easier, with its slippery terrain and numerous stones.

Even though Jiang Li had been extremely cautious, he still staggered along the way.

Zhao Lang’s journey up the mountain was even less smooth.

The mountain paths were wet and chillingly steep, making them nearly impossible to climb.

Fortunately, with his agility, he climbed up by grabbing onto a few branches even in the absence of a path, eliciting gasps of amazement from the girls in the live broadcast.

Before long, he arrived at a patch of grass.

Realizing that there might be someone here, Zhao Lang slowed his pace, calling out Jiang Cheng’s name while he surveyed his surroundings.

Until a faint voice responded to him.

"Jiang Cheng?" Zhao Lang stopped in his tracks and looked towards the rock, "Is that you?"

There seemed to be a shadow behind the rock, which shook a few times upon hearing his voice.

Zhao Lang was somewhat surprised.

He had not expected to run into someone so quickly. Surely, Jiang Li would praise him profusely for resolving the situation so swiftly, right?

With that thought in mind, Zhao Lang rushed to the rock and turned the person, who was about to collapse on the ground, over.

But when he saw the face of the person, Zhao Lang’s expression immediately dropped.

It wasn’t Jiang Cheng?

He coldly dropped the unknown person back where they were.

However, just as he was about to walk away, the person regained consciousness and clung tightly to his ankle.

"Don’t, don’t go, save, save me..." the voice was as faint as a mosquito’s buzz, barely discernible as a girl’s.

Zhao Lang struggled for a moment, and when he realized he couldn’t shake her off, he resigned himself to crouch down and look at her.

"Miss, I’m all alone and can barely look after myself, how can I save you?"

Now that he was closer, he could see her face, and instantly, his last ounce of warmth vanished.

"Su Yinwan?"

The person lying on the ground was none other than Su Yinwan.

Since the day she left the shore, she had rushed into the forest aimlessly.

She had hoped to play the damsel in distress, to be taken in by another team, but nobody wanted anything to do with her, not even willing to open their tent flaps for her.

With no other choice and facing a severe storm, she had to take shelter in a cave.

When hungry, she braved the rain to find some wild fruits and vegetables; when thirsty, she could only drink rainwater from the ground.

Her life was worse than that of pigs and dogs.

After three days, she looked haggard beyond recognition, her body from head to toe not a single inch clean, so it was no wonder Zhao Lang didn’t recognize her immediately.

But Su Yinwan recognized Zhao Lang at first glance.

She had felt stifled playing the role of the heroine, fallen on hard times as she was, her calls to heaven unanswered, her pleas to earth unheeded.

Just when she was ready to give up her rights, Zhao Lang appeared.

He was Gu Shengrong’s own grandson, Gu Yu, the wealthiest heir in the Capital.

An existence even Shang Shaojing, the male lead, couldn’t compare to.

It was just unfortunate that the original book did not describe this Heavenly Chosen Son at all, leaving her unclear about his personality and preferences.

But in that moment, Su Yinwan couldn’t care less.

His appearance here meant her heroine’s aura was at work.

She was even less likely to let him slip away now.

Jiang Cheng’s affinity towards her had already dropped to zero, and Jiang Yan’s was almost the same. She was in desperate need of a new supporting male character to bolster herself.

Perhaps this Gu Yu was the best candidate.

"Young Master Gu?" Su Yinwan pretended as if she had only just recognized him, eyes widening in shock and then crying tears of joy, "How wonderful, it’s you! Now Yinwan is saved."

Zhao Lang found it amusing. He frowned slightly, a look of disgust crossing his face as he used a tree branch to pry her hand away.

"Why do you think I would save you?"
