Deliberate Possession [Entertainment Industry] - Chapter 79

Chapter 79: Be Reserved

Can these two please not so openly declare their betrayal? The rest of them were still here. It was as if they didn’t even acknowledge their presence.

The guard at the door deliberately mocked them, “Seriously? This is the first time I’ve seen people betray so easily.”

Jing Xiaoyan smiled. “Seriously, big brother. We’re actors. It’s simple for us to play along with you and scam people. If you don’t believe me, call Lu Zhi.”

Jiang Yumian nodded vigorously. Just get out first.

Chu Qianyun looked at the two of them with deliberate disdain. “No backbone!”

Su Mumu cleared her throat, poked her arm, and said to the outside, “We’re betraying too.”

Why suffer for no reason?

Chu Qianyun widened her eyes at her. “Can’t we just hold out for a few more minutes!”

Lin Xi spoke faintly next to her, “I thought you had more backbone. Turns out you only wanted to hold out for a few minutes.”

After she said that, Chu Qianyun started condemning Jing Xiaoyan again. “Tsk, you’re betraying without us. How can you be so shameless?”

In the end, all eight people declared they wanted to betray the group.

Lu Zhi was a little speechless. She thought they would hold out for an hour or two before calling her. She didn’t expect it. She had just sat down, and they were all traitors.

They reacted quickly. They really didn’t want to suffer at all.

She took a sip of coffee and said to her assistant, “Ignore them for now. Just say I’m asleep. Tell them to stay locked up a little longer. I’ll go later. I put a lot of effort into making this wooden cage. It can’t be wasted.”

The assistant truly admired her. They were probably the only production team that brought people deep into the mountains and forests. She didn’t know if these celebrities could handle it, but thankfully it was winter and there were no mosquitoes.

Lu Zhi didn’t make them stay there for too long. After about half an hour, when it was completely dark, she went over.

When she arrived, she also sarcastically said the same thing, “I really didn’t expect you to betray so quickly.”

Seeing her smile so smugly, Jiang Yumian returned a forced smile. “Not at all. We’re just learning from you. We believe that a wise person submits to circumstances. Since you, the director, have betrayed, of course, we’ll follow you.”

Lu Zhi smiled and nodded, pointing at Jiang Yumian. “Smart!”

Jiang Yumian’s expression also stiffened a bit. Seriously, if you can’t act, you don’t have to. “Director… I think you need to improve your acting skills.”

Lu Zhi rolled her eyes, looking disgusted. “I just finished complimenting you. I only need four people, and I wanted to give you a chance, a boost. Forget it. You’ll compete with the others.”

Jiang Yumian’s mouth twitched. “…”

“I only need four people. The tree houses here are for you to stay in. You have two days to compete. During these two days, people will teach you the most basic fishing methods. Let me see who is the best at fishing. The top four will stay. The consequences for the last four, you will find out later.”

There were only three small wooden houses in total. Luo Cheng and Jiang Yumian shared one, Lin Xi and Su Mumu shared one, and the remaining one was for the boys.

This distribution was actually quite reasonable.

But there was always someone who was not satisfied, such as Jing Xiaoyan. After getting together with Jiang Yumian, she was not satisfied with sharing a room with anyone else, because she only wanted to be alone with Jiang Yumian, but that was certainly impossible.

Jiang Yumian knew what she was thinking. After showering, she moved closer to her. The camera in the room was covered. While Luo Cheng was out taking a shower, Jiang Yumian quickly kissed Jing Xiaoyan on the corner of her lips.

Facing her wronged face, Jiang Yumian reached out from under the blanket and put her hand into Jing Xiaoyan’s palm, letting her hold it. She whispered close to her ear to comfort her, “Behave tonight. Bear with it. We’ll be back soon.”

A faint tickle on her ear. Jing Xiaoyan shrank her ear, holding back a laugh, gently squeezing Jiang Yumian’s soft palm. How desperate did she look in Jiang Yumian’s eyes that she actually reminded her to hold back?

She blinked, deliberately saying, “What should I do if I can’t hold back?”

Her face was full of unwillingness, which made Jiang Yumian’s heart flutter. She leaned in and kissed her, but quickly pretended to frown, warning fiercely, “You behave, or I’ll make Luo Cheng sleep between us.”

Jing Xiaoyan deliberately tightened her fingers, punitively squeezing Jiang Yumian’s palm, and protested quietly, “No way! I don’t want that!”

Jiang Yumian pulled her hand out, quickly patted her blanket. “Then you sleep well. There shouldn’t be any special tasks in these two days. Our ultimate goal is still to find a way to escape. If we manage to run away on the first day, we won’t have to sleep in this uncomfortable place anymore.”

Although it sounded like she was brainwashing herself, what she said made sense.

However, Jing Xiaoyan was not so easily appeased. She moved much closer to Jiang Yumian, her eyes shining. “Then after filming, you come back with me. My place is actually closer to your company. You won’t be delayed for work the next day.”

Jiang Yumian was stunned for a few seconds. Finally, she pulled the blanket up, covering her face, feeling very shy.

Going back together after filming… She really wouldn’t even let her rest for a day.

Jing Xiaoyan reached out and pulled her blanket, urging, “Say something.”

She suddenly remembered something and quickly withdrew her hand, her cheeks also flushing faintly.

She had honestly just wanted to have a peaceful sleep with Jiang Yumian, without anyone disturbing them.

She was just looking forward to the time they would spend alone. She hadn’t thought about that aspect. Now, seeing Jiang Yumian’s reaction, she finally realized what she was thinking.

She cleared her throat. “I just…”

She just wanted to sleep with her, but she couldn’t say that here.

She felt like Jiang Yumian was going to misunderstand that she was very eager.

Although she was quite eager.

Jiang Yumian tugged at the blanket, revealing her eyes, and whispered, “I know, but can you be more reserved…”

Jing Xiaoyan raised an eyebrow. Reserved?

She patted the blanket with a hint of disdain. “We each have a blanket now. Isn’t that reserved enough?”

“Oh, go to sleep, go to sleep!” Jiang Yumian turned her back, not wanting to look at her anymore.

Reserved my foot. If it weren’t for the production team’s arrangement and Luo Cheng’s presence, Jing Xiaoyan would have definitely snuck into her blanket a long time ago.

When Luo Cheng returned, Jiang Yumian didn’t turn around, and Jing Xiaoyan kept reaching out and poking her back.

It wasn’t until the lights were out and she felt Luo Cheng was asleep that Jiang Yumian turned around, took Jing Xiaoyan’s hand into her blanket, kneaded it for a while, and whispered, “Time to sleep, sister.”

They actually stayed in the mountains for two days. They ate instant noodles and self-heating rice for both days. They learned a lot about scamming methods and explained them clearly to the camera. Of course, they couldn’t really teach how to scam people. They mostly talked about how the victims were scammed.

On the last day of filming, without waiting for Lu Zhi to test them, they decided to run away.

Jing Xiaoyan had been observing for a long time and had roughly figured out the direction where the staff members kept walking. That was probably the way out.

She had Jiang Yumian sneak out first, hiding at the spot she told her to wait for them.

Jing Xiaoyan waited for about half an hour. Relying on her excellent acting skills, she tricked the production team into thinking Jiang Yumian was lost. The forest was huge, but they were near the exit, and Jiang Yumian was walking inward.

Everyone was momentarily flustered, busy looking for Jiang Yumian. The seven of them split up to look for a few minutes, then reunited, and walked directly along the path they had planned.

Jiang Yumian, waiting for them on the road, was almost scared to death. She was all alone in such a large place.

As soon as she saw Jing Xiaoyan, she ran over, hugging her tightly, and complained, “You’re so late.”

Jing Xiaoyan was holding her phone, recording a video. “Alright, alright. I won’t leave you alone again.”

Jiang Yumian looked at her phone screen, a little confused. “Why are you recording a video with your phone?”

She looked back and saw Chu Qianyun also holding her phone up like her.

Su Mumu smiled. “We turned off all our mics when we came out and didn’t take a single GoPro. Of course, we have to record some escape footage. It’s such an achievement.”

Jing Xiaoyan waved her hand, pulling Jiang Yumian forward. “Hurry up and go. The mics are off. They’ll realize something’s wrong soon.”

They hadn’t walked far before they saw the production team’s cars parked outside, the tents set up for the staff, and their equipment.

Looking at the few staff members left to watch the equipment, Lin Xi whispered, “This is the production team’s base camp.”

Among these few people was Xiao Gu, who was specifically responsible for collecting their phones. She looked at them blankly. “Didn’t we finish filming this afternoon? You’re done already? Where’s the director?”

Jiang Yumian stretched lazily, patting her neck. “Cleaning up the mess. Xiao Gu, our phones. Hand them over.”

She gestured with her finger toward Xiao Gu. Before the people on the mountain could react, they had to scam their phones back.

Jing Xiaoyan smiled, walked to the bus, and knocked on the driver’s window. “Master Ge, we’re done filming. Take us back to the hotel first. My assistant is waiting for me there.”

Master Ge didn’t suspect anything and waved them on. “Hurry up and get on the bus.”

The group got on the bus, and Xiao Gu also got on. They had to make the act convincing. Since they said the director wasn’t there, someone had to accompany the car.

The excuse wasn’t fake at all, and they acted convincingly. Xiao Gu believed them immediately, but she was curious why they made her sit in the back of the bus, told her not to play with her phone during work, asked her to silence her phone, and finally took her phone away.

Jing Xiaoyan glanced at Master Ge driving in the front. They didn’t have to worry about him. Master Ge didn’t look at his phone while driving, and he ignored incoming calls.

There was a camera on the bus. Jiang Yumian and Luo Cheng made funny faces at the camera. They didn’t release Xiao Gu until they reached the hotel.

Luo Cheng hooked Xiao Gu’s arm. “Xiao Gu, we just wanted you to experience the pain of not being able to use your phone.”

Xiao Gu twitched her mouth. “Thank you. I experienced it.”

Lin Xi nodded, handing her phone back. “Here, your phone. Take a look. There’s one missed call. Oh, right, we also have two phones here, given by the production team. We’re returning them to you now.”

Xiao Gu looked at the phones with an ominous feeling. “…”

Jing Xiaoyan pulled Jiang Yumian off the bus first. When passing the camera, she deliberately stopped. “Director Lu, remember to download an anti-scam APP. Beware of scams.”

Chu Qianyun also waved at the camera, smiling sweetly. “I don’t think you need to choose four people. All eight of us should have passed, after all, our whole team scammed yours, right?”

The people behind also joined in the teasing. “That’s right, that’s right. Thank you, Director Lu, for your training.”

The mockery was strong, but the show’s effect was maximized.

Back at the hotel, Jiang Yumian hid in the bathroom, directly avoiding Jing Xiaoyan, who was about to pounce on her.

She spoke through the locked door, raising her voice, “I’m showering. Take the clothes out of the suitcase. I prepared a set for you too. Change and we’ll go home.”

Jing Xiaoyan knocked on the door. “I don’t care. Come out.”

Jiang Yumian also knocked back in response. “I’m going to take off my clothes. Hurry up and pack. Are we going home or not?”

Jing Xiaoyan knocked directly, pouting. “You’re playing unfairly. Come out!”

Unable to withstand Jing Xiaoyan’s impatience, Jiang Yumian opened the door and was quickly pulled out of the bathroom.

She quickly reached out to block Jing Xiaoyan’s lips that were about to kiss her. Her palm pressed against her soft lips. Meeting her eyes, she nervously said, “We agreed to wait until we get home.”

Jing Xiaoyan frowned slightly. Where did she get that idea? She just wanted to kiss her!

Who was the one whose mind was filled with those thoughts!

Seeing her covering her mouth, Jing Xiaoyan had no choice but to nod obediently.

Jiang Yumian’s long eyelashes trembled slightly. She hesitated for a moment, then slowly released the pressure on her hand, gradually moving her hand away, blushing, and whispering, “You can kiss me…”
