Chapter 879 The Real Thing in the Props
In the past, Lin Yuxiu would have noticed something was wrong with Lian Lifan immediately, but today...
Zhao Yun'er's eyes lit up when she heard Lin Yuxiu say this, and she asked curiously, "So, besides Miss Ye, you also know all the identities?"
Lin Yuxiu blushed and hurriedly shook her head, saying, "No, no, no, I didn't analyze it as thoroughly as Miss Ye. I just roughly know that your identities are related to something."
Zhao Yun'er rolled her eyes, a hint of schadenfreude in her voice, and asked, "Do you know what Mr. Lian's identity is related to?"
Lin Yuxiu paused for a moment, then subconsciously turned to look at Lian Lifan.
Then, under the other party's intense gaze, he slowly nodded.
Zhao Yun'er's eyes lit up slightly, and she said with amusement, "You really know! Then what exactly is Mr. Lian's identity...?"
"Yun'er".
Zhao Yun'er was interrupted by Li Guangjun before she could finish speaking.
She then belatedly realized that asking that question was indeed inappropriate.
However, to everyone's surprise, after Zhao Yun'er shut up, Lin Yuxiu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a faint smile, "Ma, his identity is related to horses."
"horse?"
Gu Shaoling and the others were stunned for a moment, then immediately started discussing among themselves.
Lian Lifan's face darkened completely, and his gaze toward Lin Yuxiu was filled with shock and anger.
Lin Yuxiu instinctively shrank back when he stared at her, but after realizing what he meant, she felt a chill in her heart.
"I understand, it's the horse team! This actor who's staying at the Yang family's place must be a member of the horse team."
“Go for it. He might own a whole cavalry unit, which means… if that’s the case, it would explain why he’s been able to live in this mansion for so long and win the heart of the only young lady in the Yang family.”
Nie Yuyang and Li Guangjun pieced together the truth, but Gu Shaoling and the other two were completely confused.
"Horse team? What horse team? Weren't we talking about Mr. Lian's identity? How does this involve a horse team? What do these horse teams do?"
"In ancient times, horse caravans were mainly used for freight transport. Even in the last century, when vehicles were not yet widely available, the role of horses in transportation was still significant. However, given the clues about the objects mentioned earlier with Mr. Feng, in which the term 'traditional physician' refers to a doctor, this 'horse' could also refer to a vehicle or other means of transport."
But whether it's horses or carts, they are both means of transportation. If the other party is just a member of a group, that's fine. But if, as Li Guangjun just said, the other party controls a caravan of horses (carts) for transportation, then it means that he is very likely to control a transportation line. In that case, this gentleman is someone of great importance.
When Lian Lifan's hidden identity was revealed, his fans should have been happy, since the more sensational the identity, the more buzz it generated.
Once Lian Lifan's identity was revealed, his prestige immediately increased. He perfectly embodied the cunning, capable, and hidden big boss persona from TV dramas, making him both likable and popular.
Embarrassingly, before this, they had also made sarcastic remarks implying that the production team was supporting a sugar daddy and secretly targeting their poor, unconnected main character because the production team had given Lian Lifan the identity of an actor.
Some fans, who were already short-tempered, went so far as to curse the production team and other guests in the live stream, using foul language.
Now that their hidden identities have been revealed, it's like a slap in the face.
Where are Lian Lifan's brainless fans? Weren't they just flooding social media with posts about the show's alleged behind-the-scenes manipulation, isolating their idol and giving him the lowest possible status? Where have they all gone now?
[Have they all scurried back into their holes like rats? I knew some people were brain-dead, but I never imagined they could be this brain-dead. "Inferior"... What era are we living in? They're still using terms like "superior" and "inferior," blatantly dividing people into different classes. When I saw this, I almost thought I'd traveled back to ancient times.]
[Hilarious! He thought he got a useless card, only to find it was a royal flush. Too bad he didn't recognize its value, squandering a winning hand. Out of eight people, he was the only one who guessed wrong, causing his girlfriend to miss dinner. Besides impotent rage, what can he do? A complete liability, a useless piece of trash.]
Lian Lifan's fans could tolerate the ridicule they had made about their past words, but they could not tolerate the accusations that Lian Lifan had dragged Lin Yuxiu down.
The argument quickly escalated again in the live stream, but at this point, the guests also made a new discovery.
"Clothing, food, housing, and transportation."
"What?"
Ye Wanxi's sudden outburst drew everyone's attention.
"Clothing, food, housing, and transportation correspond to the four households."
Her reminder made everyone realize what was going on.
Clothing, food, shelter, and transportation—aren't they just clothing, food, shelter, and transportation?
The cloth shop owned by the First Madam corresponds to "clothing," while the restaurant owned by the Second Madam is more in line with "food" than the grain merchant Yang family.
The inn owned by the Third Master of the Yang family corresponds to "staying," while the gentleman admired by the Fourth Miss corresponds to "traveling."
Clothing, food, housing, and transportation—all these things were taken care of at once.
It was one thing not to think about it before, but now that people have, they don't think it's a coincidence.
Once she understood this, Zhao Yun'er couldn't help but gasp: "The show's tactics are really deep. It gave me goosebumps. I have a bad feeling about this."
Gu Shaoling quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes, the director is such a scoundrel, he definitely has other tricks up his sleeve. Just thinking about it is terrifying."
The director, who was standing not far from the two, thought: "..." Hey, I'm still here. Do you have to be so blatant in talking bad about me? I'm supposed to be the head of the production team. Don't you have any dignity? Aren't you afraid I'll make things difficult for you?"
Compared to the guests' worries, the viewers in the live broadcast room were energized after hearing everyone's detailed explanations, almost shouting "Let's fight! Let's fight!"
While the other guests were busy discussing the program's intentions, Lian Lifan's face was more gloomy than ever before. He held back for a moment, but finally couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "It's a bit too much to ask me to deduce such an ambiguous answer based on just this little clue."
As soon as he finished speaking, the director's face darkened again. Look at what he said, wasn't he implying to everyone that the production team was deliberately rigging the show?
Before he could get angry, Ye Wanxi interjected, "Who said there's only this one clue? Aren't those things in your room clues?"
"How could that be? I've checked everything in my room carefully, there's nothing there..."
"Did you really look closely? If so, why didn't you notice that the whip in your room was wrong?"
Lian Lifan froze: "A whip?"
Ye Wanxi glanced at him: "The riding whip in your room is the real thing."
