Zheng Bohan's eyes widened, making his long face seem less long. Finally, he clicked his tongue and shook his head: "Ye Chu, Ye Chu, all those tricks of hers have been used on me."
Shi Shan added with a smile, "Although Teacher Zheng refused to form an alliance with me at the time, I felt that he was very confident that he would not be eliminated. Later, I found a clue card that said 'Guardians protect endless life,' and I guessed that Teacher Zheng might be the guardian with infinite life."
Zheng Bohan snorted: "This ability is so boring. No matter what you do, you won't be eliminated before the final vote. What's the point of playing this game?"
"What a pity," Shi Shan said regretfully. "With so many people around, I couldn't tell Ye Chu my guess about Teacher Zheng's identity. I could only hint at it with my eyes at the end. Luckily, you understood."
The last sentence was said to Ye Chu.
Di Ting scoffed: "If it weren't for your reminder, she might not have been eliminated."
Shi Shan paused, then said apologetically to Ye Chu, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect that this hint would ultimately lead to your elimination. It's all my fault."
Ye Chu frowned and said, "What does this have to do with you? If it's not—never mind. Have a cherry." As she spoke, she used a toothpick to fork a cherry that Shi Shan had just peeled, and then threw a glare at Di Ting without any restraint.
The aroma of tea filled the air.
Sun Xiaoxiao, who spends her days dealing with the ivy-covering sisters, has already sensed this familiar flavor. Unfortunately, Ye Chu on the screen doesn't seem to have seen through Shi Shan's tricks yet!
Sun Xiaoxiao was scratching her head in frustration. On one hand, she thought Shi Shan was really simply fawning over Ye Chu, and that Sister Climbing Tiger would probably be completely disarmed if she saw this; on the other hand, she was worried that Ye Chu would really be fooled by this old green tea and lose everything.
Lu Huaizhang sighed, "Young Ye's brain... he's a force to be reckoned with!"
Zheng Bohan sneered, "A little cleverness."
“That’s not just cleverness.” Lu Huaizhang said calmly, “Old Zheng, don’t be unconvinced, let’s do the math.”
"He Xi and Shen Tai, those two silly bastards, have been sticking together ever since the show started filming. Everyone can see that they have a relationship, even you can see it."
"Furthermore, every time He Xi questions someone, she starts with 'Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely.' Even a fool could tell she was using her abilities. When she questioned Ye Chu, Ye Chu probably already figured it out and deliberately said he was a victim of infiltration, framing her with Shen Tai—"
Lu Huaizhang shook his head: "Two of them have left in one go!"
“When she allied with Di Ting again, wow!” Lu Huaizhang made a five-pointer. “She voted me out, and there were only five people left in the arena. At that point, she had already won.”
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Zheng Bohan asked.
Lu Huaizhang counted on his fingers: "Do you remember the rules the host mentioned? 'When the number of remaining infiltrators is 1:1 with the number of undercover agents, the undercover agents win.' The number of people on both sides must be 1:1; more or less is not allowed."
"You do the math. After I, He Xi, and Chen Tai left the stage, all that's left in the arena are you, Ye Chu, Shi Shan, Di Ting, and Lao Cheng."
"We all know the power of the Listening Beast, so it's a kill-one-get-one-free deal!"
"Ye Chu is an ally of Di Ting, so Di Ting won't touch her. That leaves only you, Shi Shan, and Lao Cheng."
"If Di Ting chooses to take you away, you won't die. In other words, only Di Ting will actually die. At that point, only Shi Shan and Ye Chu will remain as undercover agents. Ye Chu returned your identity as an infiltrator in the last few minutes, so you and Lao Cheng will both be considered infiltrators. Isn't 2:2 the same as 1:1? Ye Chu wins."
"If Di Ting chooses to take Lao Cheng away, then only you, Shi Shan, and Ye Chu will be left on the field. You will have to vote. Whether you vote for Shi Shan or Ye Chu, in the end, there will still be one infiltrator and one undercover agent left, and Ye Chu will still win."
"Even if Di Ting went mad and took Shi Shan away, if it weren't for Lao Cheng's abilities being too—what do you call it online? Unbelievable, unbelievable—Ye Chu would still have won if he had used the elimination card to vote him out."
Lu Huaizhang clicked his tongue and said, "This brain of his? He's made for underground activities!"
Ye Chu shook his head like a rattle drum, and splashed mud on Shi Shan's neck: "Director, please don't flatter me. It was all an accident and a coincidence, an accident and a coincidence."
The barrage of comments was already overwhelming:
Ah! An accident! Ah! A coincidence!
I got goosebumps when my mom asked me why I was kneeling while looking at the computer.
[TV drama becomes reality... a genius undercover agent both on and off screen]
How is Ye Chu's brain structured?
If it weren't for the script, Ye Chu would be terrifying.
Even a script is terrifying. This variety show was filmed in just one day, and they performed such a long and complex storyline flawlessly throughout. They had to choose between professional skills and brains.
[This is terrifying to think about...]
Indeed, Cheng Daiqing's abilities are too overpowered. Who knew that even after the finale, he could still manage to create a side story?
Among these people, the most capable should be Director Lu, Zheng Bohan, Cheng Daiqing, and Ye Chu.
[Actually, apart from the useless abilities of Di Ting and Captain Shen, everyone's abilities are quite useful. It's reasonable to suspect that the production team has a grudge against them.]
[Ye Chu's ability is pretty useless, isn't it? Ordinary people would only think of stealing things, not stealing identities. It's just that Ye Chu uses it well.]
[Yes, most people would steal something like a prop card or a pager, but Ye Chu stole something big.]
[What does it mean to steal a hook and be punished, or to steal a country and become a prince?]
The thought of the seven guests and us being completely manipulated by her using a single Thief Card gives me a feeling of helplessness, like trying to slap someone who can't even reach into a screen.
[She's definitely the most entertaining guest in RuTai's history. Apart from Cheng Daiqing, who's farming, and Zheng Bohan, who's sleeping, everyone else was played like dogs by her.]
In real life, I would just stay far away from people like that.
But they still lost.
Ye Chu meticulously calculated a 99% chance of winning, but was defeated by Cheng Daiqing with a 1% chance of luck.
Who would have thought that the ultimate victor would be Deputy Director Cheng, who spent the entire afternoon farming?
[Nan Jing, no matter how talented you are, you can't escape my innate genius, Lao Cheng.]
[A classic example of how human calculations can't always be thwarted by fate]
Cheng Daiqing: Life is as easy as turning one's hand.
Thinking about it this way, isn't Di Ting the only variable in Ye Chu's almost 100% win rate...?
Holy crap, it really is!
[If Di Ting had followed Ye Chu's commands, Ye Chu would have won. And Di Ting was indeed obedient throughout, except for that last time, when it turned on Ye Chu.]
[I'm hooked! What a perfect match!]
[Low EQ: The stupid pig Di Ting is a hindrance; High EQ: The only variable in Ye Chu's plan]
[Ahhhhhh, the comments are killing me with laughter!]
Regardless of the sighs in the comments and the lingering fears of others, this episode of "Summer of Stars" has come to an end.
The luxury car intended as the prize hadn't been officially transferred to the owner yet, so Rutai had to send over another MPV of the same brand so Deputy Director Cheng could experience the feel of the prize first. This car even looked more luxurious than the original prize.
Cheng Daiqing generously invited everyone to come in and sit down. Poor Ye Chu, however, had incurred the wrath of the crowd for scheming against everyone and was driven out of the viewing group by Zheng Bohan and the rest of the crowd.
Ye Chu stood alone by the roadside, the production team adding a special effect of wind blowing leaves, making her look particularly forlorn. The camera then zoomed out to reveal Shi Shan in the frame. He didn't look at the car, but instead stayed by Ye Chu's side.
Ye Chu suddenly thought of something and asked the host, Ah Xing, "Ah Xing, if the two allies win, what does the station plan to do?"
Should they really share a car? Or should they be rewarded with another car?
Ah Xing smiled mysteriously and whistled into the distance.
"Ta-da!"
