Chapter 10: How could you abandon your partner, you should stick together through thick and thin!

Sang Qiao first scanned the working staff, then her gaze shifted upward and she spotted a camera. Her lips slightly curled up as she moved a stool over.

Standing on the stool, she leaned close to the lens, and at that moment, with her fair face almost poreless, the audience in front of the live stream felt death's stare.

"Si Chenli, you must have found the card and are waiting outside for me, I get it, I'll be right out."

[Who said this morning that Sang Qiao's skin isn't good, come out and fight me! So close and even with makeup, she's not cakey and no pores, obviously her skin is super nice!]

[...Maybe it's just that her makeup has strong coverage.]

[Sang Qiao, you're wildly imaginative! As an outsider, I have to tell you, Si Chenli hasn't come out, Si Chenli hasn't come out, Si Chenli hasn't come out! You shouldn't go out, or the mission will fail!]

Sang Qiao finished speaking to herself and hopped down from the stool, glancing at a few workers dressed as "Ghosts."

"Take me out."

The "Ghosts" looked at each other, none daring to make a sound.

"Three, two..."

"We'll take you out!" The "Ghosts," terrified by the countdown from the woman, trembled all over.

They had initially thought this young girl would be easy to push around; after shoving her around and spooking her, resulting in a battered nose and swollen face, now... they were terrified to imagine what she might do if they didn't take her out.

Meanwhile, the director was sitting outside watching this scene on a monitor, and he suddenly sprang up from his chair.

If Sang Qiao came out now, all the hype would die down, the audience was waiting for her to find the card and save Si Chenli.

He quickly pulled out his phone and called the person in charge inside the Ghost House, "Look at what your staff are doing! Tell them not to take Sang Qiao out, tell her Si Chenli hasn't come out, the card hasn't been found, tell her to go search and save someone!"

"Yes, yes, yes." The staff on the phone was also overwhelmed.

Was Sang Qiao there to sabotage the show? Fearless was one thing, but she had also handled a group of grown men like docile lambs.

The staff knew every room and passage in the Ghost House like the back of their hand. They quickly headed towards the exit that Sang Qiao was planning to take, and soon encountered her.

"What are you doing? Everyone get back to work!"

"Right, right." The "Ghosts," as if seeing their savior, scampered away without stopping.

The staff wiped the sweat from their forehead and said breathlessly, "Miss Sang Qiao, the card hasn't been found yet, and your partner hasn't left either. Please continue the task."

"Oh, I see." Sang Qiao nodded, sizing up the person contemplatively.

[Damn! Sang Qiao's words to the camera just now might have been on purpose, she's so clever.]

[What's the use of being smart, I'm really looking forward to what she's going to do next? Especially since those workers who submitted to her are gone.]

"Then carry on, if there's nothing else, I'll go outside and wait for you." The staff said their piece and were about to leave.

They had barely taken a step when someone grabbed the back of their collar. They suddenly had a bad feeling and turned around trembling, "Miss Sang Qiao, do you need anything else?"

"You're in charge here, you must know a lot," Sang Qiao said indifferently, her clear eyes with distinct contrast causing panic.

"I, I, I... Sang Qiao, this is cheating."

"But the game rules only require finding the card within the allotted time, it doesn't say anything else." Sang Qiao blinked, looking innocently charming in a way that was both exasperating and helpless.

The staff, reminded of her fierce determination from before, pressed their pride and pulled out the card from their pocket, handing it to her, "Here's the card, I really don't know where Si Chenli is, that group of workers must have hidden him in some room."

"Um, I figured you wouldn't dare lie." Sang Qiao took the card and held it in her palm.

"The rest of the task is up to you." The staff member breathed a sigh of relief, planning to leave.

"Wait."

"Miss Sang Qiao, I really don't know where Si Chenli is, I can swear to heaven!"

"I'm not asking about him; just take me out with you," Sang Qiao moved her lips, tossing out the words calmly and collectedly.

The staff member was stunned.

The director in front of the camera: "???" How can she not save someone!

Perhaps because the staff member looked so confused, Sang Qiao kindly explained, "After I leave, they will surely release Si Chenli, no need for me to go on a wild goose chase."

"...Right," the staff member sighed with a wry smile, yet Sang Qiao's explanation made sense.

[!!! Although you're right, is it really okay for you to just abandon your 'Si Jiao' wife like that?]

[Sang Qiao's way of thinking is indeed not something ordinary people can come up with, I already imagined a touching scene of her searching for Si Chenli room by room! But she decided not to search!]

[What a great opportunity for hero saves beauty, Sang Qiao, you really don't deserve to be the "male lead"!]

[The show's crew is inhumane, putting the card in a manager's pocket, how would normal people think to check someone else's pockets!]

Sang Qiao followed the staff member and successfully exited the Ghost House; the first thing she did was find the director, "I've found the card, isn't it time to let Si Chenli out now?"

"Sang Qiao, do you realize this is a romance show! How could you leave your partner behind, you should face difficulties together and complete the mission!"

The director stared regretfully at Sang Qiao, confused by the strange ideas in her head.

If only she understood the appeal of a "love" storyline, the ratings would soar!

"This way the mission is also complete. If I searched for him room by room and had bad luck, I would exceed the allotted time and fail the mission."

Sang Qiao held the card between two fingers, her posture casual, not seeing any issue.

The director was speechless: "..."

So, all she cared about was the task, not the camera or the hype?

"Sang Qiao, you're really smart." Meng Wange came over subtly and gave her a thumbs up.

"Pretty good." Sang Qiao couldn't help but laugh lightly. To deal with an inhumane show crew, you had to play by inhumane rules.

"I'll tell you, Sang Jiao and the others got the task of swinging, which isn't as easy as it sounds. It's by the cliff edge, and she was so scared her face turned white. Gu Nanmo even said he would protect her, but he was so terrified he could barely walk, he even fell flat on his face."

Meng Wange couldn't help but laugh as she spoke; at least she wasn't the most embarrassed one.

She had Yao Hui and Gu Nanmo as her human shields.

"So did they find their card?" Sang Qiao raised an eyebrow, asking casually.

"No, their group is the only one that hasn't found it." Meng Wange shook her head, curious about what punishment the show crew had in store.
