Big Mouth and Watermelon were not able to recognize at first glance that the terrified man in front of them was the target of this mission, because this man was in such a mess, his hair was wet with sweat and stuck to his forehead, his clothes were tattered, one sleeve was longer than the other, and the broken ends were jagged, as if they had been torn off by something. The left arm was a bloody mess, with the blood coagulating into black clots on it. One could barely make out the marks of knife wounds and sharp teeth. Looking further down, the five fingers of the left hand were in an unnatural twisted state, and one could tell at a glance that they were all broken.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?" Big Mouth reached out to help him.
"Big snake! Monster!" the man screamed, jumped up from the ground, hid behind the big mouth, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
As if in response to his words, a rustling sound was heard from behind the dense vegetation nearby, and something was coming towards this side. Big Mouth and Watermelon suddenly became alert, pulled out their weapons, opened the safety catches and aimed in the direction where the sound came from.
"Don't be nervous, it's us." The voice arrived before the people arrived. It was they who scolded their companions who had left the team without permission for almost the entire night. But even if the sound was correct, they did not let down their guard. It was not until they came out of the bushes that Big Mouth and Watermelon put away their weapons.
"What's going on between you two?" Xigua asked sternly with a cold face.
"Didn't I leave a message saying I was going for a night walk? I happened to run into my target while taking a walk, so I brought him back."
Big Mouth and Watermelon were stunned for a moment after hearing what was said, and their voices rose several degrees after they realized what was happening.
"Is this a demon?!"
"He is our target?!"
"Yes, when I met him, he was still wearing the same coat as in the photo."
They had entered Changchu Mountain with a purpose. Now that they had found their target, it was time to leave. They were not here for a picnic, so there was no reason for them to sleep in the woods for a night. Moreover, it was already past four in the morning, almost five.
By the time we walked out of the dense forest and reunited with the fox spirit, the sky was already turning pale.
"What happened?" Linghu frowned slightly when he saw the demon's injuries.
Big Mouth glanced unhappily at the two people sitting on the hood of the car chatting next to him, and snorted, "God knows what they did."
"Do you want to deal with him?" Linghu asked again.
"No matter what, we won't die anyway!" Xigua continued.
"That's right, I thought so too." said the fox spirit.
No one has any sympathy for this kind of heartless and perverted murderer. Big Mouth and Watermelon took the person to the back seat of the car, sitting one on the left and one on the right, and put the person in the middle, just in case the person opened the door and jumped out of the car and ran away. Linghu contacted the higher-ups and reported the situation one by one. The call was then passed to Dazui and Xigua, who reported everything that had happened during that time truthfully, including the abnormal behavior of the birds in the forest and the two men's unauthorized departure from the team.
Then the phone changed hands again and landed in Jing Ling's hands.
Da Zui is not the all-around babysitter Chen Ze, and he doesn’t have the patience to hold the phone for him to listen, so he can only tilt his head and fix the phone between his shoulder and head.
"You and Song Xiuyuan, what did you two bastards do?!" Xu Shaohuai's angry roar came from the other end of the phone.
Jing Ling didn't care at all and said in a relaxed tone, "We are all good citizens who abide by the law. We didn't do anything. It's all a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Xu Shaohuai laughed angrily, "Then explain to me what happened to Demon's injuries? Lynching is against the law, don't tell me you don't know!"
Jing Ling continued, "Of course I know, but we really didn't do anything. We just played a game of hide-and-seek with him. Although the stakes were a bit special, it was consensual. It's just a few broken fingers, which is not a big deal. As for those injuries, I swear to God, they were all caused by him. It has nothing to do with us."
"By the way, Officer Xu, remember to reimburse me for the expenses of this operation."
Xu Shaohuai asked, "What does it cost?"
"I promised to buy houses for the informants. Not many, 1,000 will be enough. There are also a few enthusiastic people who don't want houses or money, just two meals." The informants are the birds in the forest, and the enthusiastic people are Little Gray, Little Flower and the wolf pack.
Although he did not witness it with his own eyes, after listening to the reports from Dazui and Xigua, Xu Shaohuai had a general idea of the situation. Although necessary expenses incurred during the mission can be reimbursed, but 1,000 sets? It's obvious that they are fleecing him, and they are doing it openly and with a clear conscience!
Xu Shaohuai was so angry that his teeth itched, but he had no choice but to agree, "How much?"
Jing Ling smiled and said, "I have to ask about this first. Besides, it's not just the material cost, but also the labor cost. Most people definitely don't want to go to Changchu Ridge, so Officer Xu will have to help with this."
Xu Shaohuai took a deep breath and said, "Go away!"
Although he was angry, he finally solved the problem for Jing Ling. He captured able-bodied men from the troops stationed in Changchuling, brought tools, and installed bird houses all over the mountain. During the construction period, small birds kept circling nearby, chirping, as if they knew that was their nest. Occasionally, some brave birds would even land on the soldiers. Before setting off, the soldiers were reminded not to harm these little creatures, so they just let them do whatever they wanted.
The Demon serial murder case that caused a sensation at the time was shelved for 15 years. The suspect reappeared after committing two consecutive crimes and fled to the Changchuling Mountains. He was eventually arrested by Qincheng police.
As soon as the news came out, it firmly occupied the headlines of major media.
But this has little to do with Jing Ling. After returning from Changchuling, he was first dragged by Shen Ze to the hospital. After confirming that his injuries had recovered well, he was dragged directly back home.
After tossing and turning in Changchuling all night, Jing Ling felt a little sleepy. When he got home, he collapsed on the sofa, closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.
Shen Ze looked down at him, "Do you remember what you promised me?"
Jing Ling opened his eyelids a little and looked at him, "What?"
Shen Ze was annoyed by his careless attitude, "Jing Ling!"
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. It's just a variety show. Have you chosen one?"
"Can you die if you're not angry at me!" Chen Ze felt that he was really blinded by lard at the beginning, otherwise why would he choose to bring this troublesome bastard! Every time I don't play by the rules, my life is full of surprises! And this bastard always makes fun of him!
I'm so angry, so angry, so angry!
Chen Ze picked out two variety reality shows for Jing Ling, one was "A Day with Idols" and the other was "Wild Adventure". The former was about the daily life of fans and idols, while the latter was about survival in the wild. It was obvious which one was easier. He had originally planned to let Jing Ling make his own choice, but now he decided to deprive him of this right.
"I've chosen a large-scale nature exploration documentary reality show called "Wild Adventure". The second season will be broadcast on Yongzhou TV's prime time on Fridays. The crew will enter the waters of Coconut Island, one of the twelve islands in Jiangcheng, on August 20. After arriving at the destination, it will take about half a month to prepare, and filming will begin around mid-September."
Jing Ling nodded, "No problem."
He had his eyes closed when he spoke, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes. The eighteen-year-old boy is at the prime of youth, with a face full of collagen and skin that is so good that it makes people jealous. He is very good-looking, and when he is asleep he gives people a well-behaved and quiet feeling.
Chen Ze suddenly softened his heart and sighed, "Forget it, you should just go to "A Day with My Idol"."
Because Jing Ling's first movie was Deserted, and the filming location of the second episode of Wild Adventure happened to be in the Twelve Islands of Jiangcheng, wilderness survival programs are somewhat related to Deserted. This program was introduced from abroad and is extremely popular abroad. It is easy to attract fans if the performance is good. Of course, the show "A Day with My Idol" is also very popular in China. There are several young idols in the circle who have relied on this variety show to increase their popularity. Jing Ling has a stunning appearance, so as long as he doesn't do anything stupid, it is completely foreseeable that he will become popular.
But there is a problem. Most of the fans attracted by this kind of variety show are girlfriend fans, and Jing Ling has a girlfriend. If his relationship is exposed in the future, it will easily backfire.
Therefore, Shen Ze would rather Jing Ling participate in "Wild Adventure". But this choice also has a problem, that is his injury. Although the doctor said that the injury was recovering well and there would be basically no problem by the time of filming, Shen Ze was still not very reassured. Jing Ling is only eighteen years old, and he still has a long way to go in his acting career. He can proceed step by step and steadily without having to rush.
Choose the lesser of two evils. Between worsening injuries and backlash from fans, he would rather choose the latter.
Jing Ling asked, "Is 'A Day with Idols' the kind of interaction between fans and idols?"
Shen Ze nodded, "Yes."
Jing Ling opened his eyelids and looked at him, "How do the fans here come from? Are they open for registration and then randomly selected?"
Shen Ze continued to nod, "Yes."
"Can that be shady?"
Shen Ze suddenly had a bad feeling, "What do you want to do?"
