Then Zhao Shen lunged and pinned Tang Shiba to the ground.
Tang Shiba struggled. "What are you doing? Let me go!"
Neither of them had expected to pin Tang Shiba down so easily, and both froze for a moment.
Zhao Tiantian suddenly burst out laughing, her face twisted with the thrill of impending revenge.
She approached Tang Shiba and kicked her. "Tang Shiba, aren't you so tough? Jump up and hit me! Go on, jump!"
She kicked her again with a sneer. "Oh, I forgot. You can't jump up now. Now that I've got you, let's see who comes to save you!"
She gave Zhao Shen a look, signaling for him to tie her up with vines.
Zhao Shen pressed down hard on her back, tied her hands, then rolled her over.
The moment he did, he was greeted by Tang Shiba's ghastly face.
Zhao Tiantian and Zhao Shen...
"Tang Shiba, what the hell did you draw on your face? Are you trying to scare me to death?"
Tang Shiba had covered her face in such a mess that her features were no longer recognizable.
Was that what she'd been doing when she crouched down earlier?
The livestream chat fell silent, then erupted in laughter.
[Pfft... what kind of look is that?]
[Oh my god, her face is all red and white patches. What's she trying to do?]
[If I hadn't watched the stream and known she was Tang Shiba, even a dog wouldn't recognize her out there.]
[Aren't you focusing on the wrong thing? Zhao Tiantian and her brother tied her up. Isn't that illegal?]
[They're just messing around. Get used to it.]
[Tang Shiba is so arrogant. They should take this chance to beat her up and teach her a lesson!]
Some fans sensed something was wrong. Who tied someone up just to mess around?
There had been other people around during the previous fight, but this time, there were only three of them. Without the hidden livestream, no one would have been able to establish what happened.
Besides, Zhao Tiantian had forced Tang Shiba to swallow something. Her expression was vicious and frightening; whatever it was, it clearly wasn't anything good.
"Ptooey! Zhao Tiantian, what did you make me swallow? That's disgusting!"
Tang Shiba spat at Zhao Tiantian again and again, making Zhao Tiantian want to slap her across the face.
"Something good, of course. Something to spice things up. I hope you like it."
Zhao Shen spoke darkly. "Sis, I'm going to have my fun with her until she dies. There aren't any cameras anyway. If she dares to talk, I'll say she seduced me. Her reputation's already trash."
Zhao Tiantian hesitated. "Someone could come into these woods at any time. Make it quick."
[Is this seriously not illegal?]
[Oh my god, are we getting another live show? This is wild!]
[Call the police! These siblings want to kill Tang Shiba. They're vile!]
At the Police Station.
"Those two are about to hurt Tang Shiba. This could end badly."
"Can you hack into the livestream?"
The technician hammered away at the keyboard, breaking out in a cold sweat. "They're pretty cautious. Give me another hour."
Another hour? There wasn't enough time.
"Ah! Tang Shiba fell into a pit! The Zhao siblings didn't get her!" a colleague exclaimed.
Tang Shiba had no intention of waiting around for Zhao Shen to abuse her, so she dropped into the Cave herself.
Tang Xueqing hadn't died after falling in last time, so the ground inside was probably soft, or the drop wasn't very high.
Zhao Shen panicked after Tang Shiba fell in.
"I think she fell in. Will she be okay?"
"Don't worry. It isn't deep. She won't die. Her falling in suits me perfectly."
Zhao Tiantian smiled viciously. "I heard there are lots of Scammers in there. She's taken the drug, too. This time, they'll ruin her completely. Let's see who dares to marry her after that."
"There aren't any cameras or evidence anyway. Even if she insists we did it, she can't do anything to us as long as we deny it."
Zhao Shen thought it was a shame. Those men inside were getting a woman like her for nothing.
The two waited by the entrance for a while, then hurried away when they heard nothing from inside.
At the Police Station.
"That pit might be where they're holding the hostages. Flag it as a priority."
"Tang Shiba won't be in danger down there. There are people inside."
In the livestream chat.
[They're vile. Their crimes have already been recorded.]
[We demand that they be blacklisted!]
[Just wait until the Zhao siblings find out the truth!]
Trending on Weibo.

#Blacklist the Zhao siblings#
The Zhao Family parents had already fainted from fury. It was over. There was no saving their son and daughter now.
At the Tang Family home.
Tang Dad and Tang Mom paced anxiously, and Tang Mom was crying.
"Shiba was pushed into a pit! What are we going to do?"
"Honey, the livestream is still running. The Director will send someone to save Shiba."
Tang Mom was heartbroken. "So many people online are insulting her. How did she get through it before? I didn't even want to bring her home back then. I don't deserve to be her mother."
Tang Dad comforted Tang Mom, though he was just as worried.
Tang Lin called Tang Xiao, gloating again. "That's what she gets for bullying people. This should teach her a lesson. Look at what people are saying online. They're saying she deserved it."
Tang Xiao frowned. This time, the Zhao siblings were clearly at fault. They were the ones who kept provoking Tang Shiba.
"She's your sister."
"I don't have a sister like her. My only sister is Tang Xueqing."
Tang Xiao hung up and rubbed his brow. He had originally been the one scheduled to appear on this variety show.
Only after hearing Tang Shiba's thoughts had he let her take his place.
So she had suffered in his stead.
Once she came back and apologized to Xueqing, he would buy her something to make it up to her.
After falling into the cave, Tang Shiba didn't panic. Instead, she pricked up her ears and listened to what was happening outside.
Once they left, she stuck her fingers down her throat to vomit up what she'd swallowed. Only after she'd brought up nearly all of it did she find the vine and climb back out.
As a precaution, she had secretly tied a vine to a tree. What had just happened had been deliberate on her part, too.
Since those siblings wanted to hurt her, she would give them a little surprise. Hopefully, their jaws wouldn't drop when they found out.
Tang Shiba looked up, and after confirming there was no Tracking Camera, she vanished into the woods.
She needed to find the Director and the others and tell them not to run into anyone, lest they be caught on camera.
Zhao Tiantian had already called the police, so the officers should be on their way.
She headed deeper into the woods to search. After looking for quite a while, she finally found the production crew.
They were washing clothes by the river.
She scanned the group and was just about to step out when she spotted Tang Xueqing beside the Director!
Tang Shiba groaned inwardly. We're done for. She's useless at helping and brilliant at ruining things.
The Fake Production Crew panicked, too.
"What happened? How did they all get out?"
"We don't know! If the Tracking Camera hadn't caught them, we wouldn't have believed they'd gotten out either."
The Director's face darkened. They wouldn't be able to keep this under wraps much longer. They couldn't wait until the seventh day.
"Tang Xueqing thinks they're the Scammers. Let's see how things play out first."
He wanted to know who had rescued them!
Tang Xueqing wanted nothing more than to turn around and leave.
She had intended to look for Si Wuyu.
But this group of Scammers had spotted her and called her over.
She pretended to cooperate with them while her eyes searched for an escape route.
"Xueqing, we owe you so much for saving us."
"Yes, when are we leaving? It's already been several days."
At the Fake Production Crew's base.
"So it was Tang Xueqing! That bitch. We underestimated her. Send people over immediately. Tie her up and throw her into the cave."
"As for the others, cut off the livestream over there, but leave the Tracking Camera. We'll go after them tonight."
After all, it was a openly broadcast livestream. No one would immediately suspect anything.
So they would have to work overtime again that night.
The lackeys wanted to cry.
