Chapter 60: Put the blame on someone

At noon, Qiao Zhijing did send her a message to ask her to have lunch together. The program team had arranged lunch, so she just had to go to the arranged place to pick it up.

What Qiao Zhijing meant was naturally that the two of them should go together to get the lunch boxes prepared by the crew and discuss the next steps together.

But Xu Zhao and he were not teammates, and there was no point in chatting more, so he rejected Qiao Zhijing's invitation.

"Brother Qiao, I didn't say I was your teammate."

Xu Zhao never said such words from beginning to end.

"When we were exchanging clues, Brother Qiao, you were the one who said that my clue pointed to your debut age. And your clue pointed to my zodiac sign."

"Besides, apart from your firm belief that I was your teammate, I didn't seem to have lied to you about anything. I didn't steal the ingredient card from you, nor did I cheat on the mold."

Sun Runchen: Just tell me my name...

He pouted guiltily, looked around, and pretended to have nothing to do with me.

At this moment, Xu Zhao reviewed the archery scene again. Inexplicably, she felt like a bad woman who did something bad but refused to admit it.

When Qiao Zhijing heard this, he did not get angry, nor was he surprised that Xu Zhao would deny it.

It was exactly as she said, she never took the initiative to mention that she was his teammate from beginning to end.

This is where Xu Zhao’s brilliance lies.

"Zhao Zhao, I did say that your clue might be my debut age," Qiao Zhijing said in a gentle voice, turning his head meaningfully to look at Tang Qianshuo behind him.

"Qian Shuo, I remember that it was you who suddenly mentioned that Zhao Zhao's zodiac sign was the rabbit."

Qiao Zhijing now seriously suspects that he has been set up by these two people.

But this was also his fault for being careless. He was too excited to think that Xu Zhao was his teammate and didn't notice that it was all such a coincidence.

Tang Qianshuo, who had already huddled in a corner as much as possible and didn't want to be discovered, said: "..."

How come I thought of him so quickly!

However, in this matter, Tang Qianshuo really had to cry out that it was injustice!

He could clearly feel the gazes falling on him, like a thorn in his back.

"Brother Qiao, I swear to God, I hadn't met Sister Zhao Zhao yet when I was shooting arrows. Besides, I really wanted to shoot a rabbit wooden sculpture for her because Sister Zhao Zhao was born in the year of the rabbit."

Tang Qianshuo, hiding behind Sun Runchen and Lin Yuan, stiffened his neck, trying hard to pretend to be very imposing, and did not look guilty at all.

Lin Yuan and Sun Runchen listened to the resounding rebuttal behind them, and moved aside in tacit understanding, completely exposing the originally timid Tang Qianshuo.

It's funny. How could they stand in the way of such an interesting thing?

Naturally, these three people have to confront each other face to face.

They completely forgot that their group had just deceived Tang Qianshuo in the same way, and naturally they didn't think that something was wrong.

"Besides, I was shooting arrows at that time and had no idea that you two had already 'recognized each other' behind my back." As he said this, Tang Qianshuo felt inexplicably aggrieved.

Qiao Zhijing laughed angrily, and he put his hands on his hips in annoyance.

In just a few words, the two of them started to turn the tables.

It's true that a group of people should enter through the same door.

Sun Runchen stepped aside and whispered to Lin Yuan beside him: "I usually don't think Qian Shuo is so smart, but today he is a little different. I guess he has learned a lot from staying with Xu Zhao for a long time."

“But I have to say, if it wasn’t until the very end, Brother Qiao might not have realized that Zhao Zhao wasn’t his teammate at all. I can only say that she is really smart.”

Lin Yuan admired Xu Zhao for a moment.

"You know, clues can't determine everything, codes can. Zhao Zhao must have exchanged codes with Brother Qiao, which is why he is so sure that Zhao Zhao is his teammate."

Sun Runchen suddenly realized, "Secret code!"

He suddenly grabbed Lin Yuan's wrist and said, "We also know the secret code of Xu Zhao's group, which made Tang Qianshuo believe that I was his teammate!"

"But..." Lin Yuan's eyes wandered between Xu Zhao, Tang Qianshuo and Qiao Zhijing. She felt a little uneasy for some reason. "Did Qianshuo and Zhao Zhao confirm their identities after meeting us, or did they recognize each other before us?"

"This... should be after we met." At this moment, Sun Runchen also became a little suspicious. "If it was before, how could he willingly hand over the mold to me? Besides, when we came here just now, Tang Qianshuo was still blaming us. It doesn't look fake."

[I can only say that Tang Qianshuo's acting skills have really improved a lot. 】

[I can already guess how Sun Runchen will be slapped in the face later. 】

[Sun Runchen: All the trust and guilt for such a long time were ultimately in vain! 】

[I can see that these two people were sold and would count money for the traffickers. 】

[The people upstairs are not counting the money, they will also increase the ransom for themselves. 】

No matter how low the two spoke, some of their voices would still be heard by Qiao Zhijing.

Even if he didn't hear it clearly, so what? He still heard a few key words.

"Zhao Zhao, how did you know our secret code?"

Qiao Zhijing was already calm inside. Now that things had come to this, he could only leave everything to fate.

Jin Suiran listened to what happened from the side. She was not stupid and had guessed what had happened.

"Sister Zhao Zhao, you know our group's secret code, so why are you still telling me your secret code?"

"Zhuan Zhuan, at that time, I didn't know that you and Brother Qiao were in the same group."

To be precise, Xu Zhao was just unsure at that time, not to mention that she just wanted to pass on her fake code.

Unexpectedly, in the end Zhuan Zhuan was really Brother Qiao's teammate, and the fake code was heard by Sun Runchen.

Everything went so smoothly that Xu Zhao felt that even God was helping her.

Jin Suiran came to Qiao Zhijing's side, pulled his sleeve, and said with a worried look: "Brother Qiao, Director Zheng said that we must protect the secret code. Our secret code is now known by Sister Zhaozhao. What should we do?"

Qiao Zhijing patted Jin Suiran's hand and said, "Don't worry, we can discuss the terms with Zhao Zhao."

Sun Runchen, who knew Xu Zhao's secret code, stood quietly beside Lin Yuan. He hoped that Qiao Zhijing and Xu Zhao had not reached an agreement, so that both of them would suffer losses in the fight and he could reap the benefits.

"Sister Zhaozhao..." Jin Suiran wanted to play the emotional card with Xu Zhao first, and she looked worried.

But she is ultimately a lackey, I hope Sister Zhao Zhao can treat her well!

Before he could finish, Xu Zhao raised his hand to interrupt him, "Zhuan Zhuan, this is a team competition, but I can promise that I will try my best to prevent you from losing too badly."

"But..." Jin Suiran wanted to say something but was stopped by Qiao Zhijing.

She turned her head to look at Qiao Zhijing, only to see him shaking his head at her. Was he asking her to stop talking?

Jin Suiran shut her mouth obediently. It seemed that she was destined not to get the first place.
