I Am Threatening You

Whether this season of Go! All-Round Dash! could achieve new heights remained to be seen, but the hype from this opening was undeniably explosive.

In just one brief appearance, it had claimed half the trending searches.

The moment Yang Yi appeared on camera, the livestream froze straight into a black screen.

[??? Where's the video? Where's my huge goddess?!]

[Holy shit! Tomato, are you seriously this useless?]

[I can't take it! I'm watching a livestream, and the screen just froze out on me!]

[You've got it better than me. I couldn't even get in. (bitter)]

The production team and streaming platform rushed to fix the broadcast. About two minutes later, the livestream returned.

[It's back, it's back! Fuck! Tomato, you bastard!]

[If it freezes again, refund my damn membership fee! (furious)]

Once the livestream resumed, viewers noticed that the guests' positions had changed as well.

Qi Si and Shen Shuyu were still standing together, while Lin Weiwei was now standing with Zhou Linzhe.

Yang Yi stood in the middle, with Jiang Han and Xu Zhening on either side of her.

Between Qi Si and Lin Weiwei stood what amounted to an entire sea of people.

That would have been almost impossible before.

In the past, Qi Si would definitely have stood as close to Lin Weiwei as possible.

Now, everyone was completely convinced that Qi Si and Lin Weiwei had truly fallen out.

Seeing this, Lin Weiwei's fans celebrated in the livestream chat, congratulating her on escaping the sea of suffering.

The other fans were amused.

Good lord! Lin Weiwei's fans really had some nerve!

Although they also looked down on Qi Si's pathetic, clingy lapdog act, fair was fair—without Qi Si, Lin Weiwei might not have gotten where she was today.

No matter what, Qi Si had been half of Lin Weiwei's meal ticket.

And now that Lin Weiwei had made it, she turned around and kicked her meal ticket away.

What a piece of work!

Still, this was a matter between Qi Si and Lin Weiwei. There was no need for them to interfere and risk getting their own favorite celebrity dragged through the mud.

"Now that all the guests are here, let's get ready to set off!" Xiang Qianchong announced through a megaphone.

The guests froze.

"Huh? Set off? Where are we going? Isn't this the destination?" Xu Zhening asked.

"This is only the meeting point. Our filming location isn't here!"

"Where is the filming location?" Qi Si's eyelid twitched, and he had a bad feeling about this.

But when Qi Si asked, Xiang Qianchong did not answer. He merely looked at the guests with a mysterious smile.

"You'll find out when we get there. For now, grab your luggage and get on the bus!"

"Wait, wait, wait!" Yang Yi raised a hand to stop him and asked Xiang Qianchong with a baffled expression, "I only have one question. Does my agent know about this?"

"Don't worry, Best Actress Yang. The production team's itinerary has been approved by all your agents, so relax. We're not going to sell you off!"

All the guests: "..." That really did not make them feel any better!

At this point, the guests could only bite the bullet and board the bus the production team had arranged in advance.

They had assumed the destination would not be far away, but the drive lasted a full two hours.

The livestream had naturally ended long ago.

Qi Si was big-hearted enough to take a nap on the bus.

When he woke up, his neck felt like it was about to snap.

"Hiss!" Qi Si rubbed his neck and looked out the window, regretting that he had not brought the massager his brother had packed for him.

But where was this?

Qi Si stared at the deserted road outside the window. Along this stretch, he had not seen a single person or vehicle.

As the bus drove farther and farther into the middle of nowhere, Qi Si's brow furrowed.

When he turned around, he saw that nearly all the other guests on the bus were asleep.

They had not noticed that they had been brought somewhere so remote. Xiang Qianchong was not really planning to sell them off to the mountains, was he?

Qi Si glanced at Xiang Qianchong, who was sitting in front with his head lowered over his phone, then got up and carefully walked over.

He sat down in the empty seat beside the director.

"Director Xiang."

"Whoa! You scared the hell out of me!"

Xiang Qianchong had been so absorbed in his phone that Qi Si's sudden voice by his ear nearly scared his soul out of his body.

Qi Si looked at Xiang Qianchong speechlessly. "You're this timid, yet you brought us to a place in the middle of nowhere?"

Xiang Qianchong put down his phone and looked at Qi Si. "Do you need something?"

"Where are we going? Are we not there yet?"

"We're almost there."

Qi Si looked out the window. "Are you sure? In a place where you can't even see a house?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's not like we're making you live out in the wilderness."

Qi Si stared into Xiang Qianchong's eyes, feeling that he should not be too optimistic.

"It had better not be. If anything happens to me, my brother will skin you alive."

"You..."

"Yes, I'm threatening you." Before Xiang Qianchong could finish, Qi Si readily admitted to his threatening behavior.

Xiang Qianchong: "..." He was furious, but the threat had worked.

"Rest assured, Young Master Qi, nothing will happen to you! Even if something happens to me, I won't let anything happen to you!"

"Fine."

Satisfied, Qi Si got to his feet and prepared to return to his seat.

The moment he turned around, he discovered that everyone else had woken up too.

They had probably been awakened by the sound of Qi Si talking to the director.

"Did I wake you up? Sorry. I was just asking when we'd arrive. I was worried the director might sell us off."

The others had seen the situation outside the window too, so naturally, they could not get angry at Qi Si for saying that.

"Where exactly is this? Why is it so desolate?" Shen Shuyu looked at the empty road outside, feeling uneasy.

She was not worried that the production team would sell them off. Her instincts simply told her that the destination was probably not a nice place.

Shen Shuyu was not the only one with that feeling. The others were thinking the same thing.

As it turned out, their instincts were correct.

After the bus jolted along a rough mountain road, it finally stopped at the entrance to a small mountain village.

Xiang Qianchong stood up and looked at the guests.

"Everyone! We've arrived at our destination! Please take your luggage and get off!"

"We're here?"

"Where is this?"

"What do we do? I feel like I've been scammed. Can I call the police?"

"Hahaha... Go ahead and try."

As they got off the bus, they were still chatting and laughing.

But once they had stepped off, the smiles on their faces became difficult to maintain.

Because this place was simply too backward!

Even the short stretch leading into the village was muddy, steep, and uneven.

It was only a few dozen meters, but they had to drag their own suitcases across it. It was easy to imagine how filthy they would be by the time they got through.

Qi Si's mouth twitched as he picked up his suitcase and walked back toward the bus.

"Qi Si! What are you doing?" Xiang Qianchong immediately shouted when he saw him.

Without turning his head, Qi Si replied, "I'm sleeping on the bus!"

"No! The bus is leaving soon. Get back here!"

The moment Qi Si heard that the bus was leaving, his eyes lit up.

"There's something that good? Then I'll go back with the bus!"

"Qi Si! Get your ass back here!"
