Chapter 20 Please be more careful
The castle lord's son said, "I'm Lu Mucheng. Please meet me at the second floor stairs!"
[Holy crap! Mr. Lu is so quick to react! He takes off his blindfold and immediately calls everyone together! His leadership is incredible!]
[As mentioned earlier, not only that, Mr. Lu set the meeting point at the stairwell, not in the room! This prevented everyone from mistakenly entering the small dark room and being caught by his minions!]
[Hahahaha, did you see the name of the group chat? We are a loving family!]
[Oh my god! Is this group name so down-to-earth?!]
[The point is, Minions are also in this group! Such a weird name!]
In the story's background, everyone is fighting for the inheritance. Regarding this group name, I suggest changing it to: A Family that Invades and Hinders Each Other!
When Xie Yixing came out of the room and rushed to the stairs to the second floor, he ran into Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue was surprised when he saw him.
He raised his hand and pointed westward, "Ah Xing, did you get the message? Let's go there together!"
Xie Yixing strode towards him, "Come on! Let's go together!"
The floor is marked on the doorplate here. The two are currently on the west side of the first-floor lobby, and the staircases are located at the east and west ends of the corridor.
Jiang Yue and Xie Yixing were walking side by side. As they were approaching the stairs, he suddenly grabbed Xie Yixing.
"Hang, my keychain seems to have fallen off! Come back with me to look for it!"
Xie Yixing was caught unexpectedly and was shocked. Before he could break free, he heard these words.
He wondered, "What keychain?"
Jiang Yue clenched his other hand slightly, smiling, "It's the birthday present you gave me last year! I loved it so much that I wore it all day. Have you forgotten?"
After hearing what he said, Xie Yixing remembered.
Seeing that he seemed to remember it, Jiang Yue continued, "Maybe it fell in the room just now. Come with me back to look for it!"
Xie Yixing had no doubts, "Okay! But we have to hurry, we can't keep them waiting for too long!"
The two walked back.
When they were about to reach the room Jiang Yue pointed to, Jiang Yue grabbed Xie Yixing again.
"Ah Xing, my microphone seems to be broken! I'm going to ask the production crew to replace it. Can you help me find the keychain first?"
Xie Yixing saw that he had pulled out the microphone wire and felt something was wrong, "No!"
Jiang Yue thought he had discovered something, so he forced himself to calm down and asked him in a puzzled manner, "What's wrong?"
Xie Yixing looked around, looking for the staff, while answering him.
"Your microphone is broken, so the audience in the live broadcast room can't hear you. I'll go with you to change the microphone so that everyone can know what happened!"
Jiang Yue was relieved when he was sure that he didn't notice anything unusual about him, but he didn't dare to make any more small movements.
He said gratefully, "Ah Xing, it's all thanks to you! Otherwise I really don't know what to do!"
The barrage of comments in the live broadcast room was flashing rapidly.
[Jiang Yue said his microphone was broken, but I didn't think anything was wrong!]
[The minions came up ready to kill people, their action speed is even better than that of Emperor Lu! ]
So, Jiang Yue wanted to trick Xiao Xie into that room and then take the opportunity to out him? But why did he say his microphone was broken?
[From the previous sentence, I guess Jiang Yue is trying to create an alibi! ]
[What a good brother! He's always there for you in the most critical moments, and even stabs you in the back when it's not!]
【Xiao Xie, please be more careful! 】
【Hahahaha, it was Xiao Xie’s naivety that saved him! 】
The program crew did not expose Jiang Yue, but took out a new microphone and replaced it for him.
Seeing that they had wasted too much time, Xie Yixing could only ask the staff to help find the key chain, while he and Jiang Yue ran to the stairs to the second floor.
By the time the two of them reached the stairs to the second floor, everyone else had already arrived.
Uncle Liu saw the two were late, and his honest face was full of defensiveness. "What took you so long? Are you the lackeys?"
Xie Yixing was stunned, but after he came to his senses, he quickly explained.
"I'm not a minion! The reason I'm late is because Jiang Yue's microphone is broken, and I accompanied him to replace it!"
Uncle Liu didn't believe it, "Who knows if you were discussing countermeasures just now!"
Xie Yixing scratched his head, not knowing how to answer.
Apart from the audience in the live broadcast room, no one could testify for him and Jiang Yue, but the mobile phones given to everyone by the program team could not see the live broadcast room.
Seeing that the situation was about to reach a stalemate, Jiang Yunyao spoke up.
"Even if the minions want to discuss countermeasures, there shouldn't be just the two of them! Aren't there supposed to be three minions?"
Xiao Nuo was the first to say, "Sister, you're right!"
The others also nodded, expressing their agreement with Jiang Yunyao's point of view.
Only Uncle Liu still had doubts and even gave his own reasons.
"There are eight people in total. We have five here, plus the two of them, that's only seven. Where's the other one?! Aren't they discussing countermeasures?!"
The other seven people: “???”
Audience in the live broadcast room: [???]
It's clearly 6+2? Who did you miss?!
Lu Mucheng was immersed in making plans just now and subconsciously followed Uncle Liu's ideas. When he heard this, he realized that something was wrong.
"Uncle Liu, there are six of us here."
"Six people?!" Uncle Liu couldn't believe it. He counted the heads one by one, "1, 2, 3, 4, 5... Where did these six people come from?!"
Jiang Yunyao: "...You forgot to count yourself!"
Others: “…”
Uncle Liu didn't believe it, so he counted it again, and this time he got it right.
An embarrassed expression appeared on that honest face. He was a little at a loss and hurriedly apologized to Xie Yixing and Jiang Yue.
"I'm sorry, this is my first time on a variety show. I was a little excited and couldn't wrap my head around it. I couldn't even count!"
Xie Yixing and Jiang Yue were both amateurs, so they could understand his feelings and said it was okay.
The audience in the live broadcast room had a God’s perspective and saw things more comprehensively than the guests.
[Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter! If I hadn't known Uncle Liu was his lackey, I would have really been fooled by him!]
[He's been a veteran actor for many years, but he left himself behind during the headcount and even said he couldn't count! ]
[The latest lies and jokes in the entertainment industry: Uncle Liu can't count!]
[If you ask me, it's just that Uncle Liu's honest face is so deceptive that no one doubts him!]
【Ahhh, A Yao was the first to stand up and speak for Xiao Xie! 】
[That's not right! Jiang Yue is also a minion! When Uncle Liu accused Xiao Xie and Jiang Yue, didn't he also accidentally hurt his own teammates?]
[As for the previous one, although this may accidentally hurt teammates, it will clear the suspicion on yourself! ]
[It is a good omen that my friend dies rather than my own! ]
The misunderstanding was resolved, and everyone got back to the topic and started discussing what to do next.
Lu Mucheng already has a rough outline of the plan.
"We can divide into two groups. That way, if something happens to one of us, the people in the same group will be suspected. We can quickly identify the suspect and find the henchmen!"
Jiang Yunyao thought about it and felt that what he said made sense.
She immediately agreed, "Team members can supervise each other, and anyone who has any problems can report them in the group immediately!"
No one else had any objections, so the next step was to divide into groups.
