The Side Character's Hidden Boss!

“We’ve taken everyone’s testimony and their movement during the incident. It’s strange. Other than the celebrities, quite a number of staff are not at the campsite. However, no one is near the crime scene either. No one saw Lin An and Qian Yao. But we did find Lin An’s footprint near the campsite, moving towards the power box.” Listening to Xiao Liu’s report, Xiao Rui didn’t know what to say. There were too many suspicious details in this case. They didn’t even know why Lin An and Qian Yao had left the campsite. Based on Xiao Rui’s observation on the yacht, these people would not miss the chance to show up before the camera unless there was something more important than that.

Mo Li was equally baffled. They had to dig deeper before they could come to a conclusion. Mo Li also believed that they needed to keep a close watch over Zhu Wen. Mo Li had a feeling that this woman hadn’t really told them everything she knew.

Just as Mo Li was about to return to her own tent, Xiao Rui pulled her back and hugged her deep in his arms. Xiao Rui nudged her to look at the campsite. Mo Li noticed someone had moved out from one of the camps. She glanced at the watch. It was already 3.30 am, where was this person going?

The camp was assigned according to colors. Mo Li ran through her mind and instantly realized the tent belonged to Chu Guang. “That should be Chu Guang, let’s follow him.”

They followed Chu Guang on tiptoe. Chu Guang eventually stopped before a tree and started to punch it. “Fuck that bitch! First, she used the explosion to scare me on live stream, and then the polygraph on the beach almost caused me to let slip the truth… This island is like hell… Is she purposely gunning for me?”

Xiao Rui and Mo Li frowned as they listened to the man complain. Mo Li felt sorry for the man.

“Did you hear what he said?” Xiao Rui turned to Mo Li. He caught something in the man’s words. “He almost let slip during the polygraph test.”

Mo Li thought back to the test and she uttered a name, “Ye Zi.”

The two words silenced Xiao Rui because the name haunted his nightmare 2 years ago. It was taboo in the police force.

Ye Zi was a small celebrity who committed suicide two years ago. At that time, her stardom was on the rise. However, she was exposed as a homewrecker and had numerous scandals. In the end, she chose to end her own life.

At the time, Xiao Rui had just transferred from the army. There were many things that he wasn’t used to. He insisted on pursuing the investigation when people warned him not to. In the end, his boss had to resign to save Xiao Rui’s hide.

“What is the relationship between Ye Zi and Chu Guang?” Mo Li asked after she noticed the expression on Xiao Rui’s face.

“Let’s go back to rest. We have a schedule at 7 am tomorrow.” Xiao Rui changed the topic and led Mo Li to the campsite.

…

“Good morning, everyone! As you know, this island is not only pretty, it also has many cliffs and mountains. It’s a prime spot for extreme spots. Today, we have 2 new friends joining us, the new prince charming, Fang Ming, and Meng Yi, the leader of a new girl group. Let us welcome them!” The moment the livestream went online, it attracted a lot of attention.

“Where’s Yao Yao? And the man who stuck to Yao Yao? Where are they?”

“Oh ho ho ho, Goddess Jia is so sexy!”

“Yao Yao Yao Yao Yao Yao, I’m only watching for Yao Yao.”

“Chu Guang is so handsome!”

“Why isn’t there a livestream yesterday night?”

“I heard there was an accident!”

“Really? Where’s my Foddess Yao?”

“We demand an explanation from the program team!”

The program team ignored the request and continued the shoot. Adventures on the Sea was unique because it combined both traditional and online broadcasts. The show would be released after post editing but there would also be a livestream for behind-the-scene and bloopers.

“Our first project for the day is bungee jumping! We’ve set up platforms at different heights off the cliff. Let the fun begin!”

Mo Li got quite nervous when she got onto the platform. She was not normally so afraid but she couldn’t stand these extreme sports. It was because her mind was too imaginative. Before she even took the dive, she already imagined two possible ways she might die. The rope might snap or her heart might go out. Therefore, she was quite nervous.

“Mo Li, relax, the security measures are quite good here.” An Wan comforted.

The celebrities were split up into 2 teams by drawing lots. Zhu Wen, An Wan, Mo Li, and Chu Guang were Team A while Zeng Jia, Meng Yi, Xiao Rui, and Jin Chuan were Team B.

“Mo Li, stay away from Chu Guang!”
