The signal was very unstable, and Ruan Chen only saw this scene in a flash before the screen went black again.
The production team issued a notice saying that the live broadcast was expected to resume in one day. Not many people would be waiting in the live broadcast room. Probably no one saw this scene except for Ruan Chen.
The location of the isolated island has not yet been determined, and even if Ruan Chen is going crazy with anxiety, it's to no avail.
Fortunately, the screen didn't stay black for long and soon lit up again, this time with a much more stable signal.
The camera was pointing directly at the production crew's temporary camp. A moment ago, when the screen lit up, Ruan Chen could clearly see the lights inside the room, but now the room was completely dark.
She turned the screen brightness up to the maximum and could vaguely see that someone was still lying in the spot where she had just been. It was Fu Jianzhi, no doubt. But the brightness was too low to see any details, how badly he was injured, or how deep the knife had gone.
Since you can't see it clearly, there's no point in staring at it anymore.
Ruan Chen took a sip of water to calm herself down. Her hands, which had been trembling uncontrollably, calmed down a little and landed steadily on the keyboard.
Nobody is currently handling the data frequency band that Ruan Chen gave him in the Northern Islands. Even if he has time, Ruan Chen doesn't want him to get too involved in things between him and Fu Jianzhi.
Ruan Chen started by checking the equipment of the production team, first looking up the camera model in the lower right corner of the screen.
If it really was Song Shengxia who did it, she and the people behind her probably don't realize that the submarine cable has already been repaired by Su Ze's offshore repair ship. Ruan Chen needs to take advantage of this time to find the evidence.
As expected, the camera model has a storage function.
To prevent data loss, the production team usually uploads the footage to a cloud storage space in real time when there is a signal, which is not difficult for Ruan Chen to check.
As she was searching for clues, Leng Yueqiu, who was on the upper bunk, suddenly exclaimed and jumped off the bed, throwing her phone in front of Ruan Chen. "Ruan Chen, something has happened to CEO Fu!"
Ruan Chen glanced at it; it was the picture of the temporary camp where the production team had lights at the beginning.
There really are people with free time watching the screen.
The screen was illuminated and much clearer; her gaze lingered on it for a moment.
It was indeed that boning knife, completely embedded in Fu Jianzhi's body, with only the hilt sticking out.
The boning knife is sharp and cuts thin, so there isn't much blood flowing out; it's just unknown how serious the internal bleeding is.
On his hand, which hung limply to one side, the dark gray ring on his little finger was particularly clear.
“I know.” Ruan Chen glanced at it deeply, then looked away and stared at the screen. “I’m handling it.”
She opened her mouth and realized her voice was trembling.
Leng Yueqiu saw Ruan Chen's screen, which was filled with dense characters. As Ruan Chen wrote the decryption program, he said, "I arranged for people to repair the undersea cable. Now I need to find the program team's storage space in the cloud and review the recordings when there was no signal to find out what happened."
Leng Yueqiu always thought that Ruan Chen was only good at academics.
But now Ruan Chen exudes a sharpness that makes her subconsciously want to avoid it.
That sharpness was calm and decisive, as if everything was under control.
Ruan Chen herself didn't know if she could get through this, but she had to stay calm and keep telling herself that she was strong.
Leng Yueqiu was unaware of Fu Jianzhi's other identity, but she knew that lives were at stake. She decided not to cause any more trouble, quietly changed her clothes, and left the dormitory. She also sent a message to Feng Nian and Huan Shiqing that get out of class was over, and that the group should go to a coffee shop together, leaving Ruan Chen with a quiet space.
Fifteen minutes later, a brand new address appeared in the search box. Ruan Chen pressed the Enter key, entered a string of 128 characters, found the video with the most recent date 1 among thousands of videos, and clicked play.
As the shaky camera gradually stabilized, she saw Fu Jianzhi and Song Shengxia.
Without hesitation, she clicked on 36x speed forward.
In the fast-paced scene, Song Shengxia circled around Fu Jianzhi like a butterfly, calling him "Brother Jianzhi" repeatedly, her tone distorted by the speed of the camera. Fu Jianzhi patiently tolerated her silly antics and cute gestures.
Ruan Chen leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed, staring at the screen. His phone, which was on the corner of the table, vibrated. It was a call, but Ruan Chen didn't answer and hung up casually.
She knew why Nan Jing was calling at this moment, but she wasn't in the mood to answer.
She needs to know whether it was Song Shengxia who stabbed her, and why Song Shengxia targeted Fu Jian.
The production crew arrived on the island in the afternoon. As the sun gradually set, the view from the camera became dim, and Ruan Chen had to adjust the screen brightness to see clearly.
They tried to start a campfire and discussed boiling some water to soak the dry rations they had brought.
Ruan Chen turned up the volume, processed the sound effects, and filtered out the noise to hear Fu Jianzhi and Song Shengxia's conversation clearly.
Fu Jianzhi: "The wood we just collected is all damp and won't burn."
Song Shengxia: "Brother Jianzhi, I saw a thicket of bushes to the south on the boat just now. Shall we go take a look?"
Fu Jianzhi: "It's getting dark. Let's stay with the main group. After all, it's a semi-developed island, and we don't know what's on it."
After being rejected, Song Shengxia was a little listless and not in high spirits.
The other members of the production crew walked a little further away and whispered among themselves. Then they said to Fu Jianzhi and Sheng Xia, "How about we go check the south side? If we don't get some dry wood, it'll be a problem when it rains. The production crew has already cleared this area, so you and Sheng Xia can stay here and keep watch."
Fu Jianzhi stood up, and Ruan Chen guessed that he was going to say "I'll go with you," but Song Shengxia grabbed his arm.
These people probably just wanted to create an opportunity for Fu Jianzhi and Song Shengxia to spend time alone, providing material for the production team.
They didn't know how far the bushes to the south were, and it was already completely dark when they still hadn't returned. Fu Jianzhi and Song Shengxia went inside and turned on the lights. Song Shengxia then pulled Fu Jianzhi out again, shouting, "Brother Jianzhi, I want to see the stars!"
The white lotus flavor is very strong.
Fu Jianzhi was really good-natured. He just stood with Song Shengxia at the edge of the woods and let the wind blow on them. Even when he complained, he didn't get angry. "Little Song, it's so dark. Where are the stars? Let's go back first. Be careful not to catch a cold."
Then he turned around and grabbed Song Shengxia's arm.
To avoid the wind, Song Shengxia hid behind Fu Jianzhi.
Ruan Chen saw Fu Jianzhi suddenly stop moving. She couldn't see the expression in his eyes, but her heart ached.
Even though they are just insignificant strangers, why does it feel like a knife is stuck in my body?
Then, from the dim light coming from the small house behind, she saw Fu Jianzhi's figure.
Song Shengxia's soft murmur came through the phone, "Brother Jianzhi, I didn't want to do this to you either, but what can I do? I can't get close to Ruan Chen. So I can only let you take this knife for her."
