After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity-Chapter 474 - 469: Treachery and Betrayal!

The teaser for "Start Defecting" was only released one day in advance, without any prior notice.

Fan clubs from all major fandoms were astounded when they saw the preview!

There was such a thing as surreptitious recording for variety shows?

But netizens understood when they saw the list of celebrity guests, as these stars didn’t need any preliminary promotional teasers to attract countless viewers on the day of airing. They could incite a frenzy among fans simply by flashing their names on the screen, causing a mad rush into various live streaming room windows!

The future of live streaming was looking very bright, so Director Lu and his team, after deliberation, decided to stick with the traditional recording method.

The guests invited were all high-profile celebrities and true powerhouses in the industry. This show had no concerns about attracting a large audience.

Once the official Weibo account posted the announcement, fans from all sides started to keep vigil early on.

Shen Yan’s fans were even more zealous; they bought tickets to Z Province outright and headed there to physically watch from outside the recording venue!

In a semi-enclosed filming location in Z Province, as soon as Shen Yan’s car arrived, staff members were guiding them to unload their luggage, while Shen Yan headed straight for the gathering point. There was only half an hour to go before starting.

Upon seeing Shen Yan, Wen Yan hurried to pull out a chair, "Shen Yan."

Shen Yan smilingly walked over and greeted Director Lu and the others one by one.

Her gaze swept to Shi Lian sitting at the back and she flashed a smile at her, causing Shi Lian’s face to turn instantly pale, her head quickly drooping down.

Just like a mouse seeing a cat.

Everyone’s eyes were on Shen Yan, and no one noticed Shi Lian’s reaction.

"We get to record a show together again," Wen Yan loved to team up with Shen Yan!

After sitting down, Shen Yan laughed, "Teacher Wen, there are no specific partnering assignments in this show."

Wen Yan smiled sheepishly, "I guess I got a little used to it."

Su Huai glanced at Shen Yan and looked away, his words tinged with speechlessness at Wen Yan’s remark, "Aren’t you too reliant on Shen Yan?"

"...I suppose I am," Wen Yan replied, even more embarrassed.

Shen Yan was younger than him, and a girl at that, yet he, a man, wanted to rely on Shen Yan. It felt somewhat abnormal.

Shen Yan smiled, "I’m very happy to do a show with Teacher Wen."

"Me too!" Wen Yan immediately laughed along.

Thinking back on how they once disliked each other, only to become friends now, seemed somewhat miraculous.

Seeing them chat, Su Huai’s sense of helplessness deepened. Taking a thermos from his assistant, he handed it to Wen Yan, "Your condition flared up again recently. You need to be even more cautious while recording this program."

Wen Yan, recalling why Su Huai participated in this program, blushed with embarrassment, "It’s just playing some small games. It won’t be as thrilling as survival shows."

Moreover, they were in the city. What was there to worry about? It made him feel like they were treating him like a three-year-old child.

Shen Yan looked his way, making Wen Yan even more embarrassed.

Shen Yan knew that Wen Yan had acquired quite a few ailments from attempting to rescue a good friend in the past, frequently having flare-ups.

She understood why Su Huai and the others took such good care of Wen Yan.

Those who had injured their spine and internal organs needed careful nurturing. Some conditions, even after years of care, might not heal completely and could even worsen due to various factors.

That’s why Su Huai and the others were so anxious about Wen Yan.

Seeing them chatting, Xu Qingshao and the rest joined in for a talk.

Anyone involved in the industry was more or less aware of Wen Yan’s situation, so no one found Su Huai’s care for him unusual.

Li Yanbai was the last guest to arrive, timing his entrance perfectly, and after nodding at Shen Yan, he proceeded to the filming spot.

The guests greeted the viewers in the live streaming room according to their entrances. It had been a while since Shen Yan had met with her fans in this manner since her last variety show.

The fans were ecstatic!

"Yanyan seems even more beautiful! Her skin is also finer than before, simply radiant—it’s just so comforting to look at!"

"360 degrees of perfection, truly worthy of my Yanyan!"

"Go Yanyan!"

"Yanyan, when you’re free, can you continue to live stream and teach? I swear, I’ll study hard!"

"To see Yanyan, even this old lady wants to pick up her studies again—I’m all in!"

"This old man is willing to accompany you to the end, aiming to succeed at the graduate school entrance exam before my 60th birthday!"

"Pfft! Hahaha! Competing for a 60th birthday present for oneself, now that’s commitment!"

The barrage of comments soon took a turn.

But overall, it was still full of joy!

After greeting the camera, Shen Yan followed the group to her assigned spot, then listened as the assistant director read out the rules.

Today’s group activity involved taking a set of creatively unique photos, and then returning to a designated location to submit their own captured photos, which played a crucial role throughout the reality show.

The production staff took away their photos and then shook the box, drawing slips with respective code phrases written on them in sequence.

Among them, only one had a different code phrase for the traitor.

Matching the code phrases would reveal one’s true identity, so in the first task, the participating guests had to be very careful in probing each other’s "true faces" while also cautiously concealing their own identities.

The first task was actually about identifying one’s ally.

The photos were returned to everyone, and flipping it over revealed their own code phrases.

Everyone retrieved their photos and hurriedly hid away, which amused the audience.

Shen Yan turned around, covered one side with her hand, and glanced at her own code phrase: Betrayal!

Shen Yan: "..."

This wasn’t a code phrase at all, it was a giveaway phrase.

So.

Was she the traitor who needed to engage in a battle of wits?

Shen Yan flipped the photo back over and turned to face the camera, her expression unchanging.

After everyone checked their own code phrases, their expressions varied, and the atmosphere became tense with caution.

Director Lu stepped forward with a megaphone, "Remember your code phrases. Now put the photos in your hands back into the box and then draw your first route task for today!"

What?

There are still tasks?

Isn’t it about catching the traitor? freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Under everyone’s puzzled gazes, Director Lu solemnly announced, "The production team won’t provide a free cafeteria, so each of you must complete the route tasks you draw and accomplish them. At a designated location, you will receive your payment—that will be your capital to solve your food and shelter needs!"

Everyone: "..."

"Additionally, while executing your route tasks, you must catch the traitor. If the traitor is not caught within the allotted time, everyone else will be punished. On the other hand, if you win, you’ll have free reign over the traitor!" Having said that, Director Lu gave the crowd a mischievous smile.

Everyone: "..."

Why does it feel like there’s a trap here?

We signed the contract, so we’ve got to see it through, traps or not.

Everyone subsequently drew their route tasks. Upon seeing their tasks, everyone’s expressions were quite different. Li Yanbai’s mouth twitched fiercely, and he took a deep breath before pocketing it.

"Hahaha! Li Yanbai looks as if he’s eaten shit, so uncomfortable. Curious about what he drew?"

"I saw a look of utter despair, and although I feel sorry for him, I’m really looking forward to finding out what’s going on?"

"Anticipation +1"

"Looking at his expression, it’s definitely not a good task! The worse it is, the more excited I get!! Hahaha!"
