Regarding how to eliminate Bai Youlou, actually, the judges or mentors of the first few shows he participated in had some say.

This kind of thing~

Close your eyes, endure it a little, it's better to have a short pain than a long one, grit your teeth and shiver, and it will pass.

At most, they'll give some comfort, and things will eventually smooth out.

People suffer because they want too much.

Why is Yu Zhan feeling so bad right now?

Because he actually cares about his reputation.

He was organizing various polite ways to eliminate Bai Youlou in his mind, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt his vocabulary was lacking.

So, he finally turned his gaze to Zhen Dongjun.

"Brother, why don't you do it? You two have a grudge anyway."

If Zhen Dongjun stepped up to take charge and eliminate Bai Youlou, Yu Zhan believed the audience would understand him when the show aired.

With such a huge "hat of forgiveness" on his head, anything he did would be forgiven, right~

However, Zhen Dongjun directly shut down, lowering his head and showing no intention of responding.

It was as if his head was very heavy, being pressed down by something.

Seeing his lifeless state, Yu Zhan knew he couldn't count on him and had to do it himself.

At this moment, idol singer Jiang Yuanchu had finished her brief review of Bai Youlou.

She didn't "take revenge publicly"; she was very objective, even saying with a touch of genuine emotion, "You couldn't sing with this feeling before."

Bai Youlou was stunned, "What feeling?"

"Poverty."

Cough cough, this person really sees through people!

Without deliberately distancing herself from Bai Youlou, she struck the perfect balance. After all, they were colleagues before, and passing it off as a joke left no room for criticism.

In fact, this joke could be interpreted from different angles, working whether said straightforwardly or in reverse.

At this moment, Yu Zhan finally gathered his words. With a look of "grief," he looked at Bai Youlou, found a minor fault as if nitpicking, and then put on a "those who know, know" expression, regretfully announcing Bai Youlou's elimination.

Bai Youlou was quite used to this. Yu Zhan's expression was typical for most.

In singing performances, no matter how many "monsters and ghosts" were among the judges, there were always genuine musicians.

Otherwise, without any professional commentary, the show wouldn't succeed.

It was usually these types of people who would show a "regretful" expression towards Bai Youlou.

On the other hand, Zhen Dongjun's reaction surprised Bai Youlou.

He hadn't really noticed the person sitting at the mentor's table at first.

After going on stage, he sang directly without much preamble. Even if his eyes glanced over there, he only saw Jiang Yuanchu.

After all, given the choice, who wouldn't look at a beautiful girl instead of the middle-aged man next to her?

After finishing the song, Bai Youlou realized he might have gone too far.

He didn't regret it, though. He had already mentioned the song title in front of Tong Fangming, so even if he saw the "victim" Bai Youlou as soon as he went on stage, he wouldn't change the song.

A wronged party is good!

It could add more excitement to this episode.

From this perspective, Bai Youlou's interests aligned with the show's producers who were stirring up trouble.

However, everything has consequences.

When Bai Youlou returned the guitar to Tong Fangming and prepared to leave with Long Ziqiang, Zhen Dongjun appeared.

He meant trouble!

This guy blocked Bai Youlou at the end of the corridor, giving off the impression that he wouldn't be allowed to leave in one piece today.

Long Ziqiang frantically signaled to Bai Youlou: Should we deal with him?

Bai Youlou signaled back: No rush, ready to deal with him anytime.

However, the positioning of these two had already revealed everything.

Initially, Zhen Dongjun was blocking Bai Youlou, but after Long Ziqiang subtly circled behind, it became a pincer movement, with both of them cornering Zhen Dongjun.

Zhen Dongjun's assistants and bodyguards were busy clearing the area, preventing others from approaching. If a fight broke out, unless he had Ip Man's ability to fight ten men, two thugs could beat him to the point of being unable to take care of himself.

At this point, Bai Youlou finally spoke, "What do you want?"

Zhen Dongjun's expression was tense, and he stared at Bai Youlou coldly, "You still dare to appear in front of me?"

Bai Youlou:

"If you have something to say, say it. If you want to fight, just start. I have a high-speed train to catch, no time for your nonsense!"

After saying that, Bai Youlou waited for two seconds, then walked past him without looking back, preparing to leave.

People in the entertainment industry are like this, too many scruples, even if they want to fight, they are a bit hesitant.

After seeing the cameras, Bai Youlou was ready to lie down, but this guy was really patient.

However, just as Bai Youlou was about to ignore him and leave, Zhen Dongjun's voice came from behind, "Don't you want to defend yourself?"

Huh?

Bai Youlou paused, his interest piqued, and he turned his head to size him up with amusement, "You don't mean to say you don't believe me if I say I didn't sleep with your wife, do you?"

Zhen Dongjun paused, and after a few seconds, he said, "The surveillance at my house was deleted."

Good heavens. He's quite thorough.

But Bai Youlou's expression became a little strange, "Your hobby... is quite special, installing surveillance in your own home."

"You admit it?"

"I don't admit it, but your condescending attitude makes me a little uncomfortable, so my evaluation is:

Your wife is very smooth!"

Long Ziqiang: Awesome! As expected of you, Brother Lou. To say such cheeky things in front of the "victim," it's incredible, aren't you afraid he'll kill you~

Zhen Dongjun really wanted to kill that bastard Bai Youlou.

But Bai Youlou's unconcerned demeanor and arrogant way of speaking made him feel strange.

After all, what normal person, as long as they aren't too perverted, would do all these things Bai Youlou did when they slept with his wife and everyone was condemning them?

Starting from the earliest press conference where he slut-shamed Dong Lu and made a bunch of bad memes, to deliberately disgusting him with the song "Miss Dong," and now standing in front of him with a completely indifferent attitude...

What made Zhen Dongjun feel most sensitive and prickly was the pitying look Bai Youlou just gave him.

As the saying goes, extremes give rise to their opposites.

Of course, without other evidence, he couldn't just "forgive" Bai Youlou on the spot so magnanimously, but the seed of doubt had been sown.

To be precise, when he discovered that the surveillance in the living room and the back door had been deleted, he had already suspected something was wrong.

He definitely wanted to deal with the scumbag who cuckolded him, but what if he targeted the wrong person and the real lover was secretly laughing in the dark... The thought of this made Zhen Dongjun feel uncomfortable all over.

The "confrontation" between the two ended completely here.

Zhen Dongjun didn't have anyone stop Bai Youlou. Even if they were going to fight, it wouldn't be in this place. Blocking Bai Youlou in the underground parking lot was the correct way to vent his anger.

However, before doing any of that, he had to investigate further... Being cuckolded was already a great humiliation, and if he wrongly accused the "lover" again, it would be an even bigger joke!

"This way, this way."

Yu Zhan, who arrived late, rushed over with the program crew. Seeing that they hadn't fought, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Ignoring the departing Bai Youlou, he patted Zhen Dongjun's shoulder, "Old Zhen, don't be impulsive! He's already been eliminated, so let's just pretend we don't see him."

"Teacher Zhen, I'm really sorry. This happened so suddenly, and I couldn't inform you beforehand..."

The director of the program seemed to know they had gone a bit too far and quickly apologized.

But Zhen Dongjun calmly waved his hand, "How about this, I'll withdraw from this program. I'll pay the breach of contract fee, and that's that."

After saying this, he left directly.

This somewhat forceful approach left the director unsure of what to say. He thought about trying to persuade him further, but Zhen Dongjun gave him no opportunity.

"What do we do now? Do we have to re-record this episode?" Yu Zhan also found it troublesome. He was the main star of this program, and his interests were involved.

"No, Jiang Yuanchu's schedule is very tight. The recording time for each episode is fixed. It's too difficult to get her to squeeze out time to record an extra episode. We can only find someone to replace Zhen Dongjun, and the recording of this episode must be kept."

"Then our program has really offended Old Zhen to the core," Yu Zhan sighed.

What the hell is all this.

Today, I'll try to get four updates of ten thousand words, please continue reading.
