Chapter 33: The Punishing Health Center
After completing the task, the group was about to take a check-in photo and go down the mountain when they realized that Tang Li was not there. But before they could look for her, Tang Li came over from the Marriage Hall.
They were all people who were always in front of the camera. Even though they were curious about why Tang Li seemed to have something going on again not long after her divorce, no one said much. After happily taking a group photo, they went down the mountain together.
After going down the mountain, several people accompanied Jiang Ning to collect the prize money. Jiang Qing and Song Yao bought a book of scratch-off tickets, planning to scratch them in the evening, which made the others itchy and they bought some too.
After doing this, they went to the last check-in point, the health club in the ancient town.
This health club is also quite famous. I heard that it was opened by a big shot. It has branches in various cities. Because of its good effects, it has a constant stream of customers and its business is very prosperous.
When Jiang Ning and his companions arrived at the health club, there were indeed quite a few people inside. Fortunately, the place was large, so they could choose the activities they wanted to do and start enjoying themselves right away.
"How about this beauty treatment and medicinal bath? I saw good reviews online. It leaves you looking radiant and your skin feeling much better. It also comes with a relaxing massage."
"Taking a medicinal bath can also improve sleep and soothe the mind. I heard it can also nourish the hair. They use only good medicinal herbs." Liang Wanyou said as she flipped through the booklet.
Everyone had been running around and recording for a whole day, and they really wanted to relax, so they added these two projects.
Song Yao, an idol who also cares about his appearance, often stays up late to practice dancing and has a hair loss crisis, also decided to do these two projects.
During the project, Jiang Ning and several other female guests were taken into the room separately from Song Yao. After the staff removed their makeup and cleaned their faces, they lit incense, said in a soft voice that they were going to prepare beauty and massage supplies, and then tiptoed out of the room.
Jiang Ning smelled the incense and soon felt drowsy.
Jiang Ning shook her head. To prevent herself from falling asleep in such a strange place, she activated her melon-eating system to cheer herself up.
Seeing that the melons refreshed on the melon-eating system page were all from this health club, Jiang Ning became more sober.
[Huh? So the beauty treatment made the customer's skin look better, more radiant, and whiter because the staff applied a natural cream all over the customer's body?]
[In order to prevent customers from noticing, they even added a sleep aid to the incense to help them fall asleep.]
The medicinal ingredients for the bath turned out to be discarded scraps from the pharmacy, and the tea they prepared was spiked with sleeping pills. The customer fell asleep, then woke up refreshed, believing it was the effect of the bath.
[As for hair care, customers feel their hair has improved and become darker. This is because their hair has been softened, and they've also applied hair dye and essential oils. It definitely feels much better to the touch.]
Liang Wanyou and the others who were about to fall asleep, heard this and realized that the two projects they were going to work on had both failed. There were so many tricks in it, and no one had exposed them yet. They looked at each other and felt very miserable.
After a few people thought that they would never go to this health brand again after this, they heard Jiang Ning's voice again.
Let me see. To make money, they've tampered with various items. They've even added ingredients to the food they serve, aside from some purchased packaged drinks, that will keep you coming back for more. If you eat too much, you'll become addicted. I feel sick if I don't come to the health club for a few days.
[Are you so brave? You've opened so many health clubs and they all do this. Are you really not afraid of wearing rose gold handcuffs?]
If it had been said before, they could still endure and finish the project. But after hearing these words, they understood what was added to the food. Their hearts started beating like thunder, and they felt sleepy, so they pinched themselves to stay awake.
Especially Jiang Qing, who felt hungry and had eaten some cake and juice, her face turned pale. She touched her throat and wanted to vomit, but she was worried that there were surveillance cameras in the room and her abnormal behavior would be seen by others, and then none of them would be able to leave.
After all, this health club has so many tricks up its sleeve and it does such a business, yet it hasn't been closed down. The power behind it must be beyond their imagination. Perhaps it is an existence that even the Jiang family can't afford to offend, so they dare not act rashly.
When several people were frantically thinking of countermeasures and how to escape from the health club, Jiang Ning suddenly rushed towards Jiang Qing with an anxious look on her face.
"Sister Jiang Qing, did you have a stomachache? Why are you so pale?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qing immediately cooperated by bending his body and holding his stomach in pain.
"I feel uncomfortable, maybe it's appendicitis."
"Appendicitis! We can't delay this. We have to go to the hospital immediately, otherwise something bad will happen!" Liang Wanyou and others also became anxious.
Help Jiang Qing up and go out.
At this time, several staff members came in with bottles and jars, as well as some fruits and snacks. Seeing that they were not lying properly on the bed and looked like they were in a hurry to leave, they moved their eyes and stood in front of them, staring at Jiang Qing, who was holding her stomach, biting her pale lips, and sweat dripping down her face. She looked like she was in great pain.
"Miss, are you feeling unwell? We have a doctor here. Can I take you there to see him?"
The staff member's voice was still soft, but Jiang Qing couldn't relax at all, and he didn't want to see some damn doctor. Who knew if that doctor would prescribe harmful medicine?
"Thank you, but she has appendicitis and must go to the hospital to have her appendix removed." Jiang Ning said anxiously, and muttered in fear.
"This is the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. She has such a high status. If something happens on the show, I'm afraid everyone will be implicated."
Jiang Qing is the eldest daughter of the Jiang family and is currently the person in charge of the Jiang family. Although the people behind the health club do not take the Jiang family seriously.
But Jiang Qing had only been the president of Jiang Corporation for a short time, and because of Jiang's father's ridiculous deeds, the company was attracting much attention from the outside world. The boss certainly didn't want anyone to get into trouble in their health club.
The most important thing is that Jiang Qing and others came here and just broadcast live, and the people from the program crew were also waiting outside. If something happened, it would be a big deal.
After weighing the pros and cons, the staff also stepped aside with concern.
"Then hurry to the hospital. If there's no car, we can take this lady there."
"Don't bother, our production team's car is right outside." Liang Wanyou responded.
Several people quickly helped Jiang Qing out of the room. Jiang Ning also went to wake up Song Yao, who was getting a beauty treatment and felt dizzy, and left the health club together.
The director team was live-streaming the delicious food here to the audience at this time, and they were very surprised to see them come out so quickly.
"I'll explain it later. Jiang Qing is not feeling well. Let's go back to the cabin first." Liang Wanyou stopped the director from asking questions. She just wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
The director had a premonition that something was going to happen again. He glanced at Jiang Ning with a look of despair, nodded, and after everyone got in the car, he immediately drove to the wooden house.
It looked like something big had happened to them, causing the audience to speculate.
[These guests must have seen the world, right? How come a trip to a health spa turned them into this?]
[The person above isn't just blind. He's also deaf. Didn't he hear that it was Jiang Qing who was feeling unwell that caused everyone to go back?]
[No, if you feel unwell you should go to the hospital. Why go back to the cabin?]
[It's probably a minor illness. Just let the doctor hired by the production team take a look. Don't make wild guesses. I've been to this health club before, and the service and experience are both excellent. What could be the problem?]
