Chapter 39 Hands and Feet

The night passed quickly and it was the third day of the program recording, which was also the last day of the program recording.

Probably because they knew this was the last day of recording, the guests were in good spirits.

Xu Bo didn't waste any time and directly announced today's challenge task.

"After yesterday's challenge, I believe everyone has felt and witnessed the charm of desert off-roading. So today's challenge is still desert off-roading, but this time our race is a long distance, a total of 200 kilometers. If yesterday's race tested everyone's skills and explosive power, then today's test is everyone's endurance."

After hearing the mission announced by Xu Bo, everyone couldn't help but gasp. Driving 200km would take several hours even on the highway, let alone in a desert that they were not familiar with.

The audience in the live broadcast room were also surprised by today's task.

The production team is really expanding their scope; the distance is almost comparable to a professional cross-country race.

Can the production team guarantee the safety of the track? This is a desert. What if something goes wrong?

Safety should be guaranteed, as this program has never had any safety incidents.

Everyone, don't worry too much about the production team. If they're setting it up this way, they're sure they can cover it. I just want to watch the challenge, and there's bound to be a lot of fun stuff happening.

Guess who's in first place this time? My guess is Sister Gu will dominate again.

[Not necessarily. This is a long-distance cross-country race, and no one can predict what will happen along the way.]

Chen Jiayan was secretly delighted at this moment. As she expected, the challenges this time were all rather exciting, and excitement meant a high risk factor.

Driving 200km in the desert? There's no village or shop nearby, and the signal is likely to be intermittent. There are so many things that could go wrong.

If their car broke down along the way, they wouldn't die immediately, but they would still suffer greatly. And if a dangerous desert animal appeared...

She has already contacted the person bribed by Guo, who happened to be in the props department of the program team, so it would be easy for him to make any changes.

Thinking of this, Chen Jiayan secretly looked at Gu Nansheng. Seeing that Gu Nansheng was still calm, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

Oh, let's see how she can still be proud now, but wait and see what she will do when she is in the desert and no one can help her!

Xu Bo naturally noticed the hesitation and worry on the guests' faces and immediately explained, "Don't worry, our production team has already carefully planned the entire route, so there's no danger. We've also equipped the SUV with a satellite phone, so if anything goes wrong along the way, you can call them."

Everyone felt relieved after hearing this and started discussing the competition.

At the same time, the program staff were also nervously checking the off-road vehicles that the contestants were about to drive.

Gu Nansheng accepted the competition well. No matter what she competed in, she would just try her best.

But she could clearly feel a pair of eyes lingering on her. She paid a little attention and found that Chen Jiayan had been staring at her from behind from time to time in the past few days.

Of course, Chen Jiayan would secretly observe her before, but not as frequently as now. Gu Nansheng had a hunch that Chen Jiayan must be secretly trying to do something bad, and most likely targeting her.

Especially when he saw Chen Jiayan lowering her head to look at her phone from time to time, he became more convinced of her moral thoughts.

Just in case, Gu Nansheng naturally kept an eye on Chen Jiayan at all times.

If she wanted to cause trouble, where would she choose to do it?

Gu Nansheng looked at the SUV that was driven to the front by the staff, and an idea suddenly occurred to him. What could be more direct than tampering with the car?

There is no difference in the performance of the off-road vehicles this time, and the appearance is almost exactly the same. The program team does not plan to set up a segment for the guests to choose the cars themselves, so it is assumed that the car the guests are closest to is the off-road vehicle they are about to drive.

Originally, Gu Nansheng didn't care which car to choose, but she guessed that Chen Jiayan would most likely cause trouble in the car. She has always valued her life, so naturally she couldn't drive the car arranged for her by the program crew as arranged by the program crew.

But how can we get Chen Jiayan into the tampered car by herself?

Looking at the four nearly identical cars, Gu Nansheng had an idea. He smiled and said to Xu Bo, "Director, before every mission, you always had us play a little game and then choose the vehicle based on our ranking. I'm a little uncomfortable not having to choose today."

As soon as Gu Nansheng said this, Song Shuyi suddenly understood and agreed, "Yeah, I was wondering why I felt a little uncomfortable and something was missing. It turns out it's the lack of pre-match lottery selection."

[This is hilarious. The production team usually stirs up so much trouble, but this time they stopped stirring up trouble and everyone is still not used to it.]

[The main reason is that Director Xu has done too many evil things.]

[The sense of ceremony is very important. I support Sister Gu's proposal. Why can the production team stir up trouble whenever they want and not stir up trouble when they don't want to?]

Xu Bo was stunned for a moment, but soon laughed out loud. "Is that so? It seems you guys still have choices." He thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then you can also make a little game and choose a car. The spoils are all the same, there's no difference."

Gu Nansheng retorted, "Director, you already said the spoils are all the same. It would be silly for us to compare them over the same car, okay?"

Xu Bo shrugged helplessly. "Sorry, that part isn't in our settings. If you had reminded me earlier, I would have taken your advice."

Chen Jiayan listened to everyone's conversation, but she was very anxious.

If everyone really chooses racing again as Gu Nansheng did, then wouldn't all her arrangements be in vain?

And Gu Nansheng suddenly became so abnormal, did he discover something?

So, for the first time, she, who had been quiet throughout the entire episode, couldn't help but speak up, "I think since the director has said there's no difference, there's no need for us to argue about it. Why don't we just start the competition based on our current choice?"

After hearing Chen Jiayan's words, Gu Nansheng became more certain of his guess that Chen Jiayan must have done something to the car.

"There's really no need to fight over the same thing." She looked as if she had given up, then a smile of triumph appeared on Chen Jiayan's face, and then her tone changed. "But we can play a little game to test our luck. Director, I think you could have the staff drive around in circles, shuffle the cars, and then we can choose."

Chen Jiayan couldn't hold back her smile any longer and quickly said, "Director, I don't think it's necessary to go to all that trouble. Besides, it's so hot right now. If the competition ends soon, everyone can rest soon."

However, her words once again awakened Xu Bo's inner disgust towards her. Thinking of the little tricks Chen Jiayan had done behind her back before, Xu Bo naturally would not do as she wished.

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, the car is fully fueled. Everyone will be able to enjoy the air conditioning once they get in. Besides, playing a little game won't take much time either."

Then, Xu Bo ordered the staff to start the car and drive around in circles.

The four racing cars looked similar to begin with, and after this operation, most people could no longer tell which was which, and Chen Jiayan was naturally one of them.

She was extremely anxious. Not only was she worried that Gu Nansheng would not get into the tampered car, she was even more worried that she would accidentally get into that car.

Chen Jiayan tried her best to stay calm, and soon she thought of the bribed staff member.

Since he modified it, he must be able to recognize it, right?

With this thought in mind, Chen Jiayan hurriedly contacted the staff member on her mobile phone. The staff member replied quickly, but it was not what Chen Jiayan wanted to hear.

"When I tampered with the car, I was always sneaky. How could I dare to leave any obvious marks? Now that it's messed up like this, there's nothing I can do. You better be careful when you go."

Chen Jiayan's face suddenly turned pale. What did she mean by "be careful"?

She felt a chill on her back and a sense of foreboding welled up in her heart.

At this moment, she heard Gu Nansheng's voice, "Ms. Chen, stop being dazed. We're almost done choosing. Don't you want to choose?"

Chen Jiayan raised her head and saw Gu Nansheng's smiling face appear in front of her. The smile was so dazzling that she wanted to tear Gu Nansheng's face apart.

However, she knew that this was only something she could think about in her heart. Although she wanted to fight to the death with Gu Nansheng, it was impossible for her to argue with Gu Nansheng in public.

She forced a smile and said, "Choose, of course. What cars are left now?"

Gu Nansheng pointed to a car not far away and said, "This is the only one left. What do you think of it?"

Chen Jiayan naturally didn't believe the choice Gu Nansheng made for her. Although she thought Gu Nansheng would not be able to recognize the difference between the four cars, she still didn't want to accept it.

She pretended to be relaxed and said, "Sorry, I was distracted just now. I know this is a bit excessive. Can you tell me who chose which car?"

Chen Jiayan's request was not excessive, and she had already apologized in advance.

Ye Ze considered himself a gentleman, so he naturally would not make things difficult for Chen Jiayan, and immediately introduced them.

Chen Jiayan's brain started to work rapidly as she listened to Ye Ze's words. In fact, these cars all looked similar in appearance, and it would be impossible for her to choose.

But she soon saw the car that Gu Nansheng had chosen, and she had an idea. Gu Nansheng was such a smart person that he would definitely not cheat her, so there would definitely be no problem with Gu Nansheng's car.

She made up her mind and turned to look at Gu Nansheng with an embarrassed smile. "I didn't expect everyone had already made their choice. Logically, if I was distracted and missed it, then I missed it. But I really like one of the cars. I wonder if you can let it go."

Gu Nansheng replied calmly, "Oh, which one?"

Chen Jiayan's expression became even more embarrassed. "Ms. Gu, to be honest, it's yours."

"Do you like it? But these cars all look similar." Gu Nansheng said with a smile.

Chen Jiayan knew very well that her reasons were untenable, but in order to protect herself, she had no choice but to act stubbornly.

"Oh, I don't understand either. They're all the same, but that's the feeling. I'm a big believer in fate."

The two of them pulled each other again, and finally Chen Jiayan succeeded in forcing Gu Nansheng to back down by using unreasonable arguments.

However, what she didn't see was the triumphant smile on Gu Nansheng's face after he turned around.
