After reviewing the information, Fu Chi understood why his Old Master Fu wanted him to step in and ask the production team to change the location.

Nothing more than a compassionate heart.

To say that the location chosen by the production team to film the show was particularly dangerous wouldn't be an exaggeration. The country they were in is currently in a period of peace. It's not uncommon for people to be seen attacking others with knives in the street, let alone stealing things on the street.

This kind of thing happened frequently a decade or two ago when some areas were still somewhat chaotic, but now it's completely different.

This is not only due to the improvement in social morality, but also because of Heavenly Net.

In the past, if someone did something wrong, as long as no one saw it, or if the person who saw it didn't dare to speak up, the person who did the wrong thing felt that they had a chance to escape the severe punishment of the law.

Nowadays, even though the human eye cannot see them, the surveillance cameras installed by the government in various public places, as well as the surveillance cameras that some people have paid out of their own pockets to install in their homes, can make criminals nowhere to hide in most cases.

Imperceptibly, the cost of crime has increased, and life has become easier. Who in their right mind would be so crazy as to do something bad?

Well, as a result, the production team ran into each other twice during the live broadcast.

The first time was just stealing a wallet; the thief wasn't carrying any weapons and was just a lazy bum who was just waiting to die. Aside from making the viewers in the live stream feel disgusted with the thief, it didn't evoke much emotion from anyone.

After all, pickpockets are still found in places with relatively high foot traffic, such as train stations and high-speed rail stations. It's not surprising to see pickpockets in town markets, right?

However, what happened next, when Xia Zhiyi encountered someone wielding a knife in front of the live stream camera, was quite terrifying.

Fu Chi watched the video, where the boy was the only color in the frame, kicking down a thick tree trunk without changing his expression, his deep black eyes revealing no emotion.

He's very handsome.

That's cool.

Very carefree.

Even Fu Chi, who wasn't Xia Zhiyi, felt his heart tighten when he saw someone waving a knife wildly, even though the person was only a few steps away from the boy.

No matter how powerful a young person is, they are still just a mortal being; what if they get injured because of it...?

Fortunately, Xia Zhiyi is alright.

It also severely intimidated the others who were not yet clear about the situation, and froze the perpetrator on the spot, preventing the situation from escalating further.

Fu Chi turned on his computer, went online to check the current trend, and found that the related events and videos had not been widely disseminated, clearly indicating that the information was being throttled.

After a little thought, I understood the reason.

Fu Chi glanced at the live stream. Just then, the guests finished their chat and prepared to wash up and rest. He then focused on Xia Zhiyi's camera, watching the boy calmly tidy up his room.

Judging from the boy's current behavior, one would have no idea that he had experienced something so harrowing today.

In fact, before the video ended, Fu Chi also saw in the gray background that some kind-hearted people realized what had happened and helped Xia Zhiyi control the perpetrator who almost caused a disaster in his impulsive act.

Therefore, this video doesn't need any traffic restrictions. All it needs is for someone to guide the audience slightly so that people don't overlook those who are helping Xia Zhiyi.

The problem lies with a minority, not the majority, and not with the local area.

"Hello, this is Gong Cheng."

Fu Chi: "I am Fu Chi."

Director Gong was surprised that Fu Chi was calling at this time, but he still politely asked, "Hello Mr. Fu. Fu, are you calling about what happened today, or...?"

Fu Chi: "I've already looked into the situation briefly. I'm calling to ask you whether the online traffic throttling was done by your program team or by the local authorities."

Director Gong paused for a moment, then said hesitantly, "It was done after I discussed it with them..."

Fu Chi: "..."

Director Gong reacted quickly, explaining, "It's not that we intentionally concealed the information. It's just that after our meeting, we felt that if today's events were handled well, they might attract more attention here. After all, netizens these days are quite rebellious; the more something is forbidden to see, the more they want to see it."

Fu Chi: "... As long as you know it, that's fine."

Director Gong: "Don't worry, I genuinely want to make this program a success, and I definitely won't deliberately cause any trouble."

Fu Chi: " Xia Zhiyi is still young."

Director Gong paused for a moment, vaguely sensing a protective tone in Fu Chi's simple words. Fearing he might have misunderstood, he slowly said, "This... don't worry, the production team is truthful and will absolutely not maliciously edit or create negative publicity for the guests."

Fu Chi: "Hmm."

Then Fu Chi hung up the phone.

The old man's somber voice came from the doorway. "Where's Xiao Yi Xiao Yi? Why don't you ask how he is?"

Fu Chi paused, looked up and met his father's gaze, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. "You can watch it directly in the live stream."

After Zhou Kai left, Fu Yunyi had a room all to himself, which made live streaming much more convenient, as he no longer had to worry about his roommate.

Old Master Fu: "How can they be the same?"

Even so, the old man didn't let Fu Chi call Director Gong again. He snorted and left.

On the other side, alone in the room, feeling inexplicably lonely after pacing around, Fu Yunyi got up and knocked on the door of the room next to Xia Zhiyi's. " Xia Zhiyi, Wang Chengran, are you asleep?"

He didn't know that his uncle had just called the show's director to check on the production team.

Yes, they mentioned Xia Zhiyi, an outsider, but didn't mention his nephew at all.

Xia Zhiyi had already tidied up, Wang Chengran had secretly returned at some point. The two were discussing what would happen tonight when they heard the noise and both looked towards the door.

Wang Chengran more decisive. He walked over and opened the small door separating the two rooms, saying, " Brother Fu, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Fu Yunyi didn't ask where Wang Chengran had gone. He glanced at Xia Zhiyi, then at Wang Chengran, cleared his throat, and said, "Well, my room's a bit empty..."

Wang Chengran spoke faster than he thought, blurting out, " Brother Fu, are you afraid to sleep alone? Do you want me to keep you company?"

Fu Yunyi: "... No need."

Fu Yunyi thought for a moment and explained, "I've never slept in a room like this before. Yesterday... cough, I was already half asleep when I got back. Today... anyway..."

Xia Zhiyi: "If Brother Chengran doesn't mind, you can sleep with Brother Fu. I can sleep alone."

Fu Yunyi coughed lightly. "It's not that I'm afraid to sleep alone."

Xia Zhiyi smiled, "Yes, I understand."

Fu Yunyi felt he should explain again, but seeing the boy's smiling, baby-faced expression, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

In the end, Wang Chengran went to share a room with Fu Yunyi, Xia Zhiyi happily got a single room.

Viewers in the live stream: LOL, nobody believes that.
