Chapter 40 Let's Call the Police
With his clever brain, even though the car was going very fast, Gu Nansheng still remembered the car that was most likely tampered with by Chen Jiayan.
But even though she remembered it, how to get Chen Jiayan to choose this car was a problem.
Given Chen Jiayan's level of suspicion, she would definitely not easily accept the car she chose for her, but at the same time, such people often act smart.
Soon, a plan came to Gu Nansheng's mind, and then the scene just now happened.
Seeing Chen Jiayan get into the car contentedly, Gu Nansheng almost laughed out loud.
Her cleverness backfired. She knew that Chen Jiayan would most likely compete for the car she chose, so she deliberately picked the car with problems.
I wonder what Chen Jiayan’s expression would be like when she discovered that the car had a problem halfway through the drive?

Once the cars are selected, the race officially begins.
After taking safety precautions, the guests all got into their cars. With a gunshot, the four racing cars rushed out at high speed.
The performance of the racing cars provided by the program team is very good, even not inferior to professional racing cars.
Gu Nansheng started the engine and couldn't help but whistle in her heart. For the first time, she felt that participating in a variety show was not a bad idea.
Gu Beiming had become much calmer after yesterday's trial. There was almost no panic on his face, but his hands still unconsciously grasped the armrest of the car.
The car drove smoothly all the way, and Gu Nansheng did not deliberately pursue speed to win or lose. After all, the program crew obviously took the production needs into consideration when choosing the recording location, and the scenery along the way was very nice.
Netizens in the live broadcast room also enjoyed the magnificent desert scenery as the guests followed their itinerary.
It's so beautiful! I never had much interest in the desert before, but now it's on my travel list.
Every type of terrain has its own beauty. Who would have thought that such a forbidden zone for life could also have such beautiful scenery?
[Sister Gu wasn't driving very fast this time, she was probably enjoying the surrounding scenery.]
The signal is not very good, it is intermittent.
[After all, it's a desert. There's nothing we can do about it. Otherwise, why would the production crew equip the car with a satellite phone?]
However, these smooth driving were only for veterans like Gu Nansheng. Song Shuyi's driving was bumpy all the way. Sometimes the tires got stuck in the sand, and sometimes they slipped while turning. In short, accidents happened frequently.
But she wasn't in a hurry. She said to the camera, "It doesn't matter. There's no time limit anyway. We can always reach the finish line."
[I have to say, the actress has a good attitude.]
[The main thing is that there's no other way. She can't just rush forward without caring about the danger.]
[The main thing is that Song Shuyi isn't the type to give up.]
The brothers Ye Ze and Ye Ting also had a smooth journey. Because the distance was long, the two of them took turns driving from time to time, which was very comfortable.
As for Chen Jiayan, she was also in a good mood.
She successfully exchanged cars with Gu Nansheng. Although she was not sure that Gu Nansheng would be in trouble, at least she should be safe.
She started the car and felt the powerful power of the car, which made her more certain of her idea. Then she stepped on the accelerator and drove out quickly.
As she was driving, she felt something was wrong. The car became more and more unstable, and then suddenly she heard a bang. The car, which was originally moving, slowly stopped and could no longer move.
The smile on Chen Jiayan's face had long since disappeared. She rushed out of the car angrily, opened the hood, and found that the engine was burning and smoking.
Without thinking too much, this must be the car that has been tampered with.
She was not stupid and quickly figured out the whole thing. Gu Nansheng had tricked her by retreating in order to advance, and she herself had been outsmarted by his own cleverness.
Chen Taining also got out of the car at this time. After he walked around the car, his face looked very bad.
This was no longer the time to continue arguing. He said to Chen Jiayan, "What should we do now? We're in the middle of nowhere. We've driven about 70 or 80 kilometers."
Chen Jiayan tried hard to maintain her composure. She forced a smile and said, "It's okay. It's just a competition. If we lose, we lose. Let's call the production team to tow the car."
After she finished speaking, she turned on her cell phone and was about to make a call when she discovered that there was no signal at all. As for the live broadcast room that had been broadcasting live, the screen was also black, which was rare at this time. Everything told them that there was no signal here.
Chen Jiayan's heart began to panic again, but fortunately she remembered what the director had said before. Yes, there was also a satellite phone, so they would definitely be fine.
She returned to the car and picked up the satellite phone installed in the car, and was surprised to find that the satellite phone was also broken.
At this point, Chen Jiayan felt both sad and a little funny. Should she sigh that the bribed staff member was very dedicated?
This action really cut off all their ways of seeking help. Not only did it cause the car to park in a no-signal area, it also damaged all the rescue equipment.
Chen Jiayan looked at the empty desert around her and felt more and more uneasy.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any large dangerous animals in this desert, but the small poisonous animals in the desert can cause enough harm to lone humans.
Just at this moment, she heard a hissing sound in her ears. She looked down and saw that it was a long snake.
Chen Jiayan didn't know much about animals, so she naturally couldn't tell whether a snake was poisonous or not, but she couldn't gamble with her own life.
She felt a chill on her back, and her instinct for survival made her run towards the car, then she quickly got in and closed the door.
After making sure she was safe, she let out a breath. Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough.
However, she soon discovered that she was the only one in the car and Chen Taining was not in the car. She looked out the window and saw Chen Taining's body stiff, and there were several big snakes in front of him.
After a brief moment of shock, Chen Taining finally reacted and shouted anxiously, "Sister, come and save me!"
Chen Jiayan also heard Chen Taining's cries, but how could she dare to save so many snakes? She was not determined to sacrifice her life for Chen Taining.
So Chen Jiayan could only pretend not to hear it, rolled her eyes and pretended to faint.
About half an hour later, Chen Jiayan heard that there was no movement outside the car, so she pretended to wake up and went to the car window.
When she saw it, she was stunned. Chen Taining was lying on the ground with blood all over his exposed skin. Fortunately, there were no snakes nearby.
Although Chen Jiayan was dissatisfied with Chen Taining, she never expected that Chen Taining might die in front of her.
After struggling for a while, she finally got out of the car and carefully ran to Chen Taining's side. She reached out her hand and felt Chen Taining's breath, then she breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he was still alive.
But she also found that Chen Taining was not in good condition. He had lost too much blood and was severely dehydrated from being exposed to the sun. She was not sure whether Chen Taining had been poisoned by the snake.
Chen Jiayan couldn't help but shook her head, feeling flustered.
She was not only worried about Chen Taining's safety, but she was even more worried about what she would do if something happened to Chen Taining after they were discovered!
Chen Jiayan thought for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and found a sharp piece of metal from the car. She ruthlessly scratched her thigh with it. Soon, blood gushed out, staining her entire leg red.

At the same time, Gu Nansheng, Ye Ze and others arrived at the finish line of the race one after another.
The program crew prepared a rich meal at the finish line. After driving for several hours, everyone was starving and started to feast on the food.
But when Song Shuyi arrived at the finish line late and still didn't see Chen Jiayan and Chen Taining, everyone realized something was wrong.
Because of what happened before, although the guests did not deliberately isolate Chen Jiayan and her brother, they would not have overly intimate communication with them.
But when they knew that something might have happened to Chen Jiayan and her brother, they couldn't just ignore it.
Ye Ze immediately said to the director, "Director, Miss Chen and her brother haven't returned yet. Should we send someone to look for them, in case something happened along the way?"
As an experienced director, Xu Bo naturally realized this problem. He immediately asked the staff to drive back to look for Chen Jiayan and her brother.
After waiting for about two hours, the searching staff returned to the end point, and then they saw the two people covered in blood that they had carried out of the car. Everyone was shocked and rushed over.
"What happened? Why are you covered in blood?"
"Yeah, the road conditions along the way are pretty good, even my driving skills are good enough."
…
Listening to everyone's chattering questions, Chen Jiayan felt guilty, but she pretended to be weak and frail and said, "Our car broke down on the road, and the satellite phone was broken. When we got out to look for help, we unfortunately encountered a snake. Xiaoning was bitten by the snake, and when I was trying to escape and get into the car, I accidentally touched some metal, and that's what happened."
Xu Bo's face darkened as he listened to Chen Jiayan's words. The car had broken down, and the satellite phone hadn't worked. Didn't that mean their show's security wasn't adequate? But he'd clearly asked the staff to double-check everything before the show began.
But now is obviously not the time to worry about these things. The most important thing is to send the Chen siblings to the hospital as soon as possible.
He immediately asked the staff beside him, "Where is the nearest large hospital? Let's send them there quickly."
The nearest large hospital is in a nearby city, and since this episode of the variety show has already been recorded, everyone went back to the nearby city together.
Since they were already here, and considering that they were apparently "in the same situation", everyone sent the Chen siblings to the hospital.
After a thorough checkup, it was found that there were no major problems with the two.
Although Chen Taining was bitten several times by a snake, fortunately the snake was non-venomous. He fainted because he was scared, not because he was poisoned.
After confirming that the two were fine, everyone planned to leave and let the Chen siblings have a good rest.
However, Gu Nansheng said to Xu Bo at this moment, "Director Xu, I was in a hurry to get them to the hospital so I didn't have time to tell you. But now that they're both fine, I think we should talk about business. I don't think this is an accident. Director, let's call the police."
