Although Ji Qian said they would talk about it tomorrow, considering the special circumstances of tonight, the production team decided to go into the city to rest overnight and return to the old house tomorrow afternoon.

Ji Qian and Xu Qi applauded this decision, as they had long been fed up with the dilapidated house.

Although I'm only going to stay in the city for one day, I still need to take some expensive equipment with me.

The crew was busily packing up their equipment and filming supplies when suddenly: "Holy crap! Who turned on the live stream?!"

With a shout from one of the screenwriters, the production team finally realized that the live stream had been turned on.

Director Liu rushed over upon hearing the news. When he saw the time the live stream was turned on, and then thought about his bald, half-naked appearance covered in cannula marks, he felt utterly despondent.

The live broadcast was abruptly shut down, and the official Weibo account of the "Into the Truth" program was flooded with netizens asking for the truth and fans of Mi Yesi.

@UnrequitedLoveForMimiFor100Days: What happened to Mimi? Are the production team silent?! @OfficialAccount of "Into the Truth"

@夜夜思米米: Ji Qian recklessly assaulted others; I suggest she be banned!

@I hate listening to dogs barking: Mi Yesi was almost biting people during the live stream, is Ji Qian just going to wait to be bitten if she doesn't take action?

@SophisticatedHotGirl: What exactly happened? Can the production team please explain?! @Official《Into the Truth》 @LiuWoGuidesLife @AnAssistantDirectorWhoDoesn'tWantToBeADirectorIsNotAGoodDirector

@Get out of here: It must be a live broadcast accident. If something like this happens during a live broadcast, the show is probably going to be canceled.

@EveryoneInTheWorldIsSick: Is Director Liu waiting to post on Weibo on the hour again? This level of OCD really needs treatment!

Seeing the uproar on Weibo, Director Liu couldn't afford to remain depressed any longer. He urgently held a meeting with his publicity team, drafted a statement, and waited for it to be released at the next hour.

At 3:00 AM on September 11, the production team of the program "Into the Truth" issued a statement on Weibo, first apologizing to the audience for the accidental live broadcast incident, and then explaining the current situation of Mi Yesi in order to appease Mi Yesi's fans.

The apology statement was lengthy, but it did not answer the main question raised by many netizens: Is the old house really haunted?

Director Liu did want to clarify, but considering that the official policy had not yet been formally issued, he had no choice but to avoid the topic.

Shortly after the apology was posted on Weibo, Ji Qian and the others finally arrived in the county town.

Perhaps because he was frightened, Xu Qi fell asleep in the car, and Ji Qian had to drag him off the car when he got out.

After receiving the room key, Han Mengyao first went to Ji Qian's room and looked around. Not noticing anything unusual, she then invited Ji Qian into the room. Ji Qian was so touched that she almost became sworn sisters with Han Mengyao on the spot.

Because of the unexpected local specialties in the old house's bathroom, Ji Qian hadn't had a proper wash for two days.

Now that she was in a relatively safe environment, Ji Qian not only did a full skincare routine, but also took a bath. It wasn't until the sky outside the window began to lighten that Ji Qian reluctantly went to bed.

The next day, Ji Qian was awakened by a series of urgent knocks on the door.

"Teacher Ji! Teacher Ji Qian! Teacher, are you awake?!" Ji Qian put on her coat, got out of bed, opened the door, and saw the assistant director looking anxious.

Ji Qian glanced at her watch. It was only a little past eight in the morning. Director Liu had clearly said that the morning shoot was canceled, so why was the assistant director coming to her door?

The assistant director was so flustered that he was somewhat incoherent. Ji Qian followed his words and spent a long time sorting out the whole story before finally figuring it out.

When they left the old house last night, Ji Qian specially carried a bag full of food to prevent the program crew from using the points-based purchase system in the county town.

In fact, everyone on the production team knew what Ji Qian was hiding, but considering her destructive power, they all tacitly refrained from exposing her intentions.

Even when Director Liu was in the car, he borrowed a bottle of water from Ji Qian because he was thirsty.

The problem lies precisely with this bottle of water!

Because the environment inside the car was dim, Director Liu grabbed a bottle of water from his bag and opened it to drink, but ended up not getting any water at all.

Director Liu thought he had retrieved an empty bottle, so he put it back and retrieved another one, which allowed him to finally get a drink.

Director Liu didn't notice anything wrong at the time, until this morning when he was editing the footage. When he saw the empty bottle in Ji Qian's hand on the screen, which was said to contain a female ghost, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine and his stomach started churning.

By the time the assistant director came to find Ji Qian, Director Liu had already gone to the restroom six times.

Ji Qian had actually forgotten about the bottle, and only remembered it when the assistant director mentioned it.

Ji Qian hurriedly went back to her room to search for her belongings and found an empty Coke bottle.

Ji Qian hurriedly grabbed the Coke bottle and ran towards the director's room. As soon as she entered, she heard a loud vomiting sound coming from the direction of the bathroom. Ji Qian quickly knocked on the door: "Director Liu, stop vomiting! She'll kill you if you do!"

The vomiting stopped abruptly, and after a long while, Director Liu, his face green, walked out of the bathroom.

Perhaps the shock of yesterday's semi-nude live stream was too great for Director Liu, because even at this critical moment of life and death, he still hurriedly put on a T-shirt.

However… Ji Qian couldn’t help but glance downwards, and Director Liu was still wearing the same flamboyant green and red floral shorts he wore last night.

"Teacher Ji is here." Director Liu weakly invited Ji Qian to sit down. Looking at Director Liu's pale face, Ji Qian felt as if she were sitting at Director Liu's funeral, not in a room.

"Director Liu, don't be afraid. Xu Qi accidentally swallowed it before. I have a way to get it out, but you might have to suffer a bit."

Director Liu seemed to have grasped a lifeline when he heard Ji Qian's words, and quickly said that he had never suffered before and told Ji Qian to go ahead and do it.

Looking at Director Liu's confident demeanor, Ji Qian felt a little uneasy. She felt that Director Liu did not have a clear understanding of what was about to happen to him, but she did not intend to remind him.

After all, if the female ghost really remained trapped inside Director Liu's stomach, no one knew what would happen in the end.

Ji Qian said she needed a spacious and secluded venue, so the assistant director quickly went to a hotel and rented a conference hall.

Ji Qian went out again to buy hemp rope, ladder and salt water. When everything was ready, the six guests, except for Director Liu and the assistant director, gathered in the conference hall.

Looking at the five guests besides Ji Qian—including Mi Yesi, who had just woken up from her coma—Director Liu quietly pulled Ji Qian aside and whispered, "Teacher Ji, I haven't offended you before, have I?"

"No, nothing." Faced with Director Liu's sudden question, Ji Qian felt puzzled. "Is there anything about our production team that has displeased you these past few days?" "No, nothing." Ji Qian was even more confused.

After confirming that it wasn't his fault, Director Liu suddenly roared, "Then why did you invite five people to watch the show?!"
