"Boss, you're so slow! It's finally here."

Raphael wore a hat, sunglasses, and a mask, which concealed her exotic beauty, but her figure was undeniable.

Upon seeing Luo Chen, Raphael strode over.

Hello, long time no see.

Raphael greeted Lu Wanqing, and then began to remove his hat, sunglasses, and mask one by one.

Lu Wanqing nodded blankly in response. Even now, she still didn't understand why Luo Chen and Raphael were here.

Although they were very happy to see Luo Chen, shouldn't they have gone back to Ningcheng?

Luo Chen didn't hide anything from Lu Wanqing, and told her some of the more important things.

After hearing this, Lu Wanqing's face turned pale.

She was a little confused. She just wanted to repay Luo Chen and participate in the show seriously to get a good ranking, but she didn't expect so many things to happen behind the scenes.

Some of the things she had guessed were things she had previously discussed with Qin Xiyao.

However, this actually causes distortion.

Moreover, the person hiding behind the scenes is too despicable. They actually used such a trick to have her taken away so that she could be eliminated directly and Zhang Fan could win the championship.

This kind of practice is not fair competition at all.

"So, what should we do now?"

Lu Wanqing looked at Luo Chen. Since Luo Chen had appeared here, he must have some way to solve the problem.

Actually, she wanted to know more about why Luo Chen was here and what he had been doing all this time.

However, this is not suitable at the moment.

What else can be done?

Luo Chen smiled slightly, and then Lu Wanqing met his gaze: "Of course you will continue to participate in the program. You don't need to worry about these things at all."

"The reason I'm telling you this is so that you can be mentally prepared, so that you don't find out about this when you participate in the show, which would affect your performance and that would be bad."

Luo Chen had considered this point; he could have handled it directly without notifying Lu Wanqing.

But if Lu Wanqing didn't know about this, there would definitely be other losses.

Zhu Tian and Zhang Fan are both people who like to show off. When Zhu Tian was fighting against Qin Xiyao, whenever Zhu Tian's side had a better chance of winning, he would come over and mock Qin Xiyao.

In the current situation, if Luo Chen hadn't interfered, Zhu Tian and Zhang Fan wouldn't have made any sarcastic remarks to Lu Wanqing. But if Lu Wanqing hadn't been taken away and instead appeared on the show...

Given their personalities, they might ask some questions.

If this causes Lu Wanqing to participate in the program with a heavy heart, perform poorly, and miss out on the championship, it would be a mistake.

That's not the outcome Luo Chen wanted.

After much thought, Luo Chen decided to give Lu Wanqing a heads-up in advance.

After all, this kind of thing won't affect the rest of the script at all.

[...]

"Is there really nothing I need to do?"

Lu Wanqing felt that this matter was still related to her. Although she didn't quite understand what had happened, she didn't choose to participate in the program, so Luo Chen wouldn't be so troubled. She would also try her best to help if there was anything she could do.

"Just focus on participating in the show, and I'll handle the rest."

Seeing that Lu Wanqing was a little down, Luo Chen comforted her, "Actually, your help in winning the championship is the greatest help to me, and it's also the best thing for Tianlai to restore its reputation. So, I think this is the most suitable thing for you."

Luo Chen's words did have an effect, and Lu Wanqing's mood improved considerably.

Raphael chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, just promise the boss you'll win the championship, and we'll take care of the rest."

"Um."

Lu Wanqing nodded, then looked at Raphael: "But..."

"Just what?"

"There's something I don't understand about what you said earlier."

"What?"

Raphael and Luo Chen exchanged a glance, somewhat puzzled.

"that is……"

Lu Wanqing looked at Luo Chen with slight doubt and said, "According to your previous statement, you wanted to continue to pretend you didn't know and go along with their plan, but as a key figure, I'm not here. Can such a plan still proceed smoothly?"

Lu Wanqing heard clearly that Luo Chen had said earlier that the other party wanted to take her away, prevent her from participating in the competition, and let Zhang Fan win the championship.

However, Luo Chen told her to continue participating and that she wouldn't have to handle anything afterward.

But she didn't appear in the plan, so how can Luo Chen's progress go smoothly?

Besides, she can't create clones of herself.

"Oh, so that's what you meant."

Luo Chen thought it was something else entirely.

"Don't worry about that, I've already made arrangements."

Then, Luo Chen revealed his plan.

Raphael, standing to the side, hummed a few times, agreeing that she was the most suitable candidate for this mission.

Despite her seemingly being Luo Chen's personal secretary, there's more to her than meets the eye.

She's a martial artist at the early stage of internal strength.

Raphael is the most suitable candidate to replace Lu Wanqing and take her place after she was taken away.

If any problems arise, she has the ability to handle them.

Moreover, with the three brothers, who were just passersby, acting as inside agents, the safety factor was significantly increased.

As long as Sang Yi doesn't do it himself, Raphael's safety is not a problem at all.

After listening to what Luo Chen had to say.

Lu Wanqing remained silent for a while.

A hint of doubt lingered in his large eyes.

Her gaze would sometimes fall on herself, and then on Raphael.

A comparison before and after.

Lu Wanqing looked somewhat embarrassed, but also felt that...

In particular, he noticed Raphael shrugging his shoulders because he was carrying too much weight.

Lu Wanqing suddenly felt terrible.

Although hers is still pretty good, it's still far behind Raphael's.

With such an unequal physique, are those people sure they can mistake Raphael for her?

[...]

However, things did not unfold as Lu Wanqing had expected.

Raphael took her place without being suspected; he was simply hooded and carried away.

The entire process was so fast that it was impossible for anyone to react.

If it were her, she would probably be terrified.

Fortunately, Luo Chen told him that the person in charge of resisting was also one of his men.

This lessened Lu Wanqing's worries somewhat.

At the same time, I also admire Luo Chen for being able to make these preparations and not be led by the nose by the other party.

Even so, Luo Chen's complexion did not seem to be very good.

Especially after Luo Chen patted Raphael on the shoulder when Raphael was about to take action, his expression turned sour.

It was as if she had something on her mind.
