Outside the virtual world.

Director Liu was somewhat uncertain: "You mean, her actions just now were just to scare Zhu Ruoqi?"

Director Sun shook his head: "I don't know."

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

It was a mixture of all sorts of terrible speculations, but in the end they were thankful that Qu Jian'er was still considering the consequences.

Director Liu changed the subject: "We took off their equipment backpacks and chose old-fashioned pistols. We originally wanted to test them, but it seems we didn't succeed. It's quite surprising; Qu Jian'er has quite a few secrets."

Faced with Director Liu's praise, Director Sun recalled the invisible, terrifying aura emanating from Qu Jian'er. He didn't want his childhood friend to make any bad decisions.

Director Sun said, "Don't get any ideas about her. Don't blame me for not warning you, or you'll suffer a terrible setback."

Upon hearing this, Director Liu's face darkened. He did indeed intend to report Qu Jian'er's situation to the Empire.

Having lived most of his life, he wasn't blind; he saw a hidden danger in Qu Jian'er.

The danger hidden beneath that harmless exterior is something ordinary people like them don't encounter.

Director Liu pulled Director Sun to a secluded corner and said, "You're rarely serious. Could it be that the strange things you told me the other day were all true?"

Director Sun said seriously, "Nonsense, would I joke like that? It's too creepy, I almost lost my life. I don't know how Li Jie is, whether she's out of danger."

Director Liu remained silent.

He discovered that everyone seemed to have their previous persona deteriorated to some extent after meeting Qu Jian'er.

Director Liu frowned: "I wanted to tell the higher-ups about her situation, but now I'm hesitant."

Director Sun remained silent, but he had certainly considered this as well.

But having lived to their age and reached their current status, they have seen more and have a broader perspective.

Director Liu said seriously, "If she really is a master in that field, we really shouldn't become enemies."

Director Sun had a premonition: "Just wait and see, she will not stop here or in the entertainment industry."

Director Liu nodded, seeing that there were no major problems with Qu Jian'er's side.

Gao Jiexi's group, however, is in danger.

Because they didn't know how to use the weapons, nor how to stay away from danger, they underestimated the power of the zombies.

Gao Jiexi and Wu Mu died in the night.

Upon seeing this.

Director Liu said seriously, "This won't do, Lao Sun, we have to teach them a lesson."

With an e-cigarette dangling from his mouth, Director Sun casually asked, "Should we temporarily halt this?"

Director Liu nodded: "Stop, but we can't reshoot, otherwise it wouldn't be the style of our variety show. How about this, change the original routine and give each of them another life."

Qu Jian wanted to finish recording the first episode of the second season as soon as possible so he could visit some people at the hospital.

However, the recording of the variety show was forced to stop.

Wu Mu and Gao Jiexi, two grown men, died one after the other, leaving everyone else stunned.

Many people were whispering among themselves.

After all, the staff could see the recording site and witnessed Qu Jian'er's dashing spirit. Therefore, when they looked at Gao Jiexi and Wu Mu, they inevitably viewed them with prejudice.

"They even boasted about exercising all the time, but the two grown men couldn't even last a day."

"Compared to Qu Jian'er, well, as the saying goes, there's no harm without comparison."

"Keep your voice down, and avoid saying things that might offend people."

"What's there to be afraid of? We've said so much to Qu Jian'er, and she doesn't care. What's wrong with pointing out a few facts?"

"From this day forward, I declare myself a fan of Qu Jian'er's looks and talent! No matter what she did in the past, I'm going to get her autograph!"

Qu Jian'er was an excellent student with straight A's in all subjects, so naturally she didn't listen to Director Liu's lecture.

He usually hides in a corner, lazing around and drinking tea.

Suddenly surrounded by several young girls, Qu Jian'er stiffened up, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Teacher Qu, you're so handsome! I'm sorry, I apologize for my past blindness."

"Could you please sign your autograph? We firmly believe that Teacher Qu will only get better and better, and we'll support you in the future!"

"How are the cookies? They're so sweet!"

Qu Jian'er chuckled awkwardly, "Although I don't really like sweets, as long as you're happy~"

One second they were mocking and complaining about her, and the next second they formed a group of cookie fans.

She underestimated the limits of modern people's desire for good looks.

Qu Jian'er was extremely uncomfortable with so many people crowding around her: "Um, everyone, calm down."

"Teacher Qu cares about us and tells us to calm down. How can someone be so understanding?"

"We misunderstood Teacher Qu for so long because we believed the rumors, but Teacher Qu not only wasn't angry, she also cared about us!"

"Teacher Qu is such a gentle and cool goddess! Can you give us an autograph?"

Qu Jian'er left her name one by one.

She then fled the scene immediately, realizing that she still preferred the audience members who weren't enthusiastic towards her.

Just as Qu Jian'er was about to return to the lounge to check on Bai Wei and the others, she noticed someone was following her.

She then turned around, turned on the recording function of her mobile phone, and went to a storage room.

The next second after stopping at the door.

Qu Jian'er's right wrist was gripped by Wu Mu, and her back was subjected to his forceful movements.

Forced to stick to the wall.

The figure enveloping Qu Jian'er grinned, revealing a wicked smile that he thought was perfectly normal.

It's just like a serial psychopath in a novel.

Qu Jian'er's face turned completely cold: "Let go."

Wu Mu, his eyes filled with lust, sneered, "She's just a plaything. Why pretend to be a chaste and virtuous woman? You could even handle someone as old as Sun Buhui. Why are you hesitating with me?"

Qu Jian'er smiled faintly, shook off her right hand that had been grabbed, and struck out with her left hand like lightning, locking the other person's throat directly.
