Chapter 188: Not targeting anyone, they all have mental illness
After checking for a while, Zhao Mingtao saw that the situation was almost settled, so he coughed lightly and said:
“Doctor, since he’s not seriously ill, you can leave the medicine. We still have to go to the beach to look for Han Fei and Qi Qingyi. The two of them have to find food alone without anyone to help them. What they find may not be enough for eight people.”

He is a good person and speaks nicely.

But in fact, Zhao Mingtao was worried that Lu Siyuan’s previous mischief, injury and temper tantrum would lead to public opinion being unfavorable to them, so he took the initiative to offer to go to the beach to help in order to save the situation a little.

As long as Lu Siyuan does his job honestly in the future, the audience should be able to attribute what happened just now to the normal emotions of a person after being injured.

However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, Li Wensheng shook his head.

“This time the program team came here, in addition to bringing a medical team to check on Mr. Lu, they also planned to exchange supplies with the guests.”

“It’s not easy to make a trip from where the production crew is stationed. The supplies are tied to the back of the car. We will stay nearby for a while. Once you have everything ready, you can exchange them. This way, it will be convenient for everyone.”

“Mr. Zhao, what do you think?”

The smile on Zhao Mingtao’s face was a little hard to hold back.

He originally thought that the program team was joking when they said that the supplies needed to be exchanged.

It was such a broken island. Apart from the box of weapons brought by the psychopath Xu Qingan, the guests didn’t even have any handy tools. What’s more, Xu Qingan only had an axe and at best a hammer. What good were they? Could they cook or boil water?

Since they are not really stranded on a desert island but are rehearsing a show, the production crew will definitely not leave them without anything to use. At least the most basic living needs can be guaranteed.

However, judging from what Li Wensheng said just now, even if the program crew is afraid of trouble and too lazy to make two extra trips, they are ready to wait and wait for the guests to obtain seafood and other food with their own hands and then exchange them for daily necessities.

Although there is another possibility that Li Wensheng wants to stay here to help cheat, it is impossible even if you think about it with your toes.

If Li Wensheng had such an intention, he should have sneakily avoided the camera and talked to them, or at least given some hints while avoiding the camera. However, Zhao Mingtao only saw the blinding righteousness on the other person’s face.

What a selfless and cheating director!
Damn retard!
Li Wensheng didn’t really think that they could get enough seafood simply by fishing at sea without any fishing rods, bait or nets, right?

Zhao Mingtao tried his best to maintain a smile on his face, but his tone had changed a little:
“Well, okay, since the production team has already made a plan, you guys can do whatever you want, we’ll go over first.”

As he said this, he turned his back to the camera, finally taking off that smiling face, and walked towards the beach alone with a gloomy expression.

Seeing this, Lu Siyuan and Shu Yi didn’t dare to say anything more, and hurried forward following his footsteps.

The three PDs who were following them looked at the director hesitantly. Li Wensheng shook his head slightly, indicating that they should not worry about others and just follow the guests they were responsible for. Then the three PDs quickened their pace and followed.

Looking at their backs, Li Wensheng raised his eyebrows.

Beside him, Kou Hongying, who was wearing a hat and a mask and disguised as a staff member, chuckled.

“Director Li, I heard that you still want to do a romance show? Judging from the current situation, it seems that your dream can really be achieved.”

There are two people in charge of the special planning of the deserted island this time, one is Li Wensheng, and the other is Xia Liu. Even though the representative of the sponsor Tianwen Group, Kou Hongying, also came, Kou Dazhuang made it clear that she would not take care of anything, and everything would be arranged by the two professionals. She only needs to be responsible for connecting with the outside world and solving problems.

For a sponsor like Kou Hongying who contributes money and effort without interfering, Li Wensheng and Xia Liu would like to hug her thighs and call her mom.

So, when Lu Siyuan and others called the medical team, Kou Hongying made her first request of the day, which was to come along and take a look at the situation. Li Wensheng certainly had no reason to refuse.

Xia Liu didn’t come along, because there were eight guests on the show, and it was impossible to empty out all the people in the program control team just for Lu Siyuan and the other three, right? There had to be someone left to make the final decision, just in case.

Li Wensheng had already slowly raised his feet, intending to follow a distance behind the others to observe the situation, but after hearing what Kou Hongying said, he immediately stopped and looked at this capable financier in surprise.

“What do you mean, do we already have a love storyline in our show?”

“Oh no, that’s not right. The relationship between Shu Yi and Zhao Mingtao is not a relationship. It’s called adultery. It can’t be hyped up in public. After all, it violates secular morality and the public doesn’t like it. Even if you want to punish them, you can’t do it so openly, otherwise…”

In fact, Li Wensheng had another idea.

As far as the current situation is concerned, it seems that the couple of opposite sexes most likely to create sparks are Qi Qingyi and Han Fei.

When he first joined the show, Han Fei was certainly not worthy of the little princess. He was surrounded by scandals and negative news, and was about to be forced to retire. How could Miss Qi be interested in him?

But judging from their interactions during this period, Han Fei and Qi Qingyi not only have been getting along very well, but even the negative information about Han Fei has been inexplicably almost cleared up, and this is all thanks to a pig-like opponent like Lu Siyuan.

In addition, Li Wensheng had read the script written by Han Fei before. As long as the quality of the filming was improved and the main characters were not stuffed with people with incomprehensible acting skills, it could basically be said that the script was doomed to be a hit.

Han Fei’s success is imminent, and he also has a cooperative relationship with the Qi family. Qi Qingyi seems to trust him very much…

Aren’t they the two most likely candidates at the moment?
However, in front of the girl’s parents, especially this parent was the financial sponsor of the program, Li Wensheng was not stupid enough to match them up in front of them. He just concealed the matter and only talked about Zhao Mingtao and Shu Yi.

Hearing this, Kou Hongying pulled the mask down, leaving only half of her nose and eyes exposed.

The smile in her eyes was quite meaningful, and she sighed:

“No, of course not them.”

“It’s even more exciting than what happened between the two of them. The Shura Field is almost formed. I just don’t know if the heroine is willing to cooperate in this big show.”

Li Wensheng was already confused, and after hearing what she said, the fog in his head was about to smoke.

Could it be… Could it be that Kou Lu was really talking about Qi Qingyi and Han Fei? But Han Fei had no contact with the other female guests at all. Even Lu Xiaoli, a former fan, had only a few exchanges after meeting. How did he come to this conclusion?
He looked around blankly:
“What Shura Field? Who is with who? Why can’t I see anything???”

This may be the extraordinary insensitivity of middle-aged men.

With his current condition, he still wants to be in a romance variety show?
Kou Hongying laughed and said:
“Director Li, didn’t you see that Shu Yi was very hostile to Nie Wenjin?”

“She seemed to have misunderstood something. She thought Xu Qing’an came to the show for Nie Wenjin and was planning to take over the territory.”

Li Wensheng was horrified.

To be precise, he was so shocked that he lost control of his facial expression.

“No… Shuyi, what territory is she trying to occupy… Are you talking about Xu Qingan? But haven’t they already had a falling out and are planning to divorce? What else does Shuyi want to do?”

“Could it be that she regrets cheating on him and wants to win back Xu Qingan?”

Kou Hongying shook her head, and was really worried about the director’s level of romance variety shows. He should just stick to filming his variety shows. He couldn’t even understand such an ambiguous atmosphere, and he still wanted to film a romance variety show?
Can I watch it after taking the photo?

“In a sense, Shu Yi and Zhao Mingtao are the same kind of people.”

“I’ve looked at their past resumes and files. Of course, their upbringings are very different, but they all have similar factors.”

“Due to my work, I often come into contact with suspects with mental problems. Usually these people are defendants. I have seen many familiar traits in Shu Yi and Zhao Mingtao. But since we are talking about Shu Yi now, let’s just talk about Shu Yi.”

“I heard that your Southern Sichuan TV station would do background checks, so you should have gotten to know Shu Yi before inviting her to the show, right?”

“Her family background is relatively ordinary, above the well-off but below the middle class. Generally speaking, if the husband and wife of such a well-off family have a good relationship, the children they raise should be the happiest. But unfortunately, Shuyi’s parents are not like that.”

“As far as I know, Shuyi’s mother proposed divorce several times, but they all ended abruptly because they couldn’t reach an agreement. It’s conceivable that there are conflicts between the couple. I didn’t find out the specific conflicts because the time was too short, but Shuyi’s grades were very good since she was a child, but she chose to give up the college entrance examination and signed a contract to become a trainee when she just became an adult in the third year of high school. Director Li, do you think there is any problem here?”

Li Wensheng looked like a fool, staring at Kou Hongying as she talked.

Of course he had read Shu Yi’s resume.

She comes from a normal family, her parents are still alive and not divorced. Her friends and acquaintances in the circle all describe her as a lively and cheerful little sun, hardworking and highly intelligent. Apart from her academic qualifications, she has almost no other shortcomings.

The decision to drop out of high school and debut as a trainee may seem rebellious, but looking back, Shu Yi’s choice was very correct and even accurate.

After all, her senior year of high school was the first year of domestic entertainment talent shows, and the first batch of talent show contestants reaped the biggest benefits. Although Shu Yi seemed to be the smallest and least visible of all the celebrity guests, she was actually doing well. At least netizens who were used to paying attention to the entertainment industry knew who she was as soon as they heard her name. With this kind of fame, it was enough to make enough money in the circle to earn enough money in other industries for several lifetimes.

It was precisely because of these background checks that the program team invited her.

The relationships among the eight initial guests invited were extremely complicated.

It is well known that Han Fei and Lu Siyuan don’t get along, Ren Tuo is an amateur, Zhong Xiaoyun and Song Mengran are here to promote the TV series and create a couple, Qi Qingyi is a daughter with connections, and Nie Wenjin is the most famous actress with no scandals. These people are definitely popular enough, but either they have backgrounds, or they will not accept the couple arranged by the program team, or they have grudges, or they are not famous. Among this group of people, Shu Yi is simply the easiest to talk to, like a crane among chickens.

Who could have thought that she could sneakily create the biggest news in the show so far?

Anyway, Li Wensheng had never thought about it, and was very happy about the appearance of this easy-to-talk guest.

Even if he had thought that Shu Yi had some dirty laundry, he didn’t know that it would be accidentally revealed on the show, let alone investigating a person thoroughly like Kou Hongying did!

As a director, his background check was not as good as that of a certain female guest’s parents, and they were also the sponsors… Li Wensheng was poor and had little ambition. He had no confidence and stammered:
“what is the problem?”

It looks… really pathetic.

Kou Hongying sighed and said helplessly:
“That’s a big problem. Even if you don’t know that her parents have conflicts or a bad relationship, don’t you feel that after looking at her resume, she made such a decision that doesn’t fit her image as a good student?”

“Even if he was aiming at the talent show and was going to take a gamble, Shu Yi and Han Fei are about the same age. Look at what Han Fei did? Even though he had become famous because of his accidental involvement in live streaming, and even though he had signed with a company, he still insisted on taking the college entrance examination and did not go to an art school. This was to leave a way out for himself.”

“Han Fei and Shu Yi were of similar age when they debuted, and both had good grades. Obviously, Han Fei’s decision was made by a good student who accidentally entered the entertainment industry. They have good brains and know that they can’t do things to the extreme. They have a diploma, so even if they fail in the entertainment industry, they still have other ways to go.”

“But Shuyi didn’t.”

“This incident shows that she is either eager to leave the control of her family, or her desire for fame and fortune in the entertainment industry and her vanity have reached a point where she can no longer control herself, and she can no longer stay in school to prepare for the exam. Judging from the current live broadcast and the situation that has been exposed, I think there is a 90% chance that it is the latter, and a 10% chance that it is both.”

“——Director Li, it seems that there are not many normal people among the guests on your show except my daughter?”

“In fact, Han Fei, who openly stated that he was ill, was the least ill among them.”

“At least he was purposely losing his temper, and it was directed at Lu Siyuan. What other people would do… that’s not certain.”

Li Wensheng’s mouth was already wide enough for an egg to fit in.

He was stunned and dumbfounded. It took him a while to understand what Kou Hongying meant.

“You, you mean…”

Director Li swallowed hard, but couldn’t say it anyway.

Mr. Kou sympathetically added to his words:

“I don’t mean to target anyone. I mean, apart from my daughter, every other guest has a mental illness, just to varying degrees.”

“Although mental illness is on the rise among young people in modern society, there are too many of them in this show.”

“Shu Yi has a pathological possessiveness of the people and things around her. She is vain, selfish, and easily jealous. I can cite more arguments that can be verified by papers, but I can tell you the answer first. She is very likely a high-functioning NPD patient, which is commonly known as narcissistic personality disorder.”

“Even if Xu Qing’an decided to divorce her because of her own reasons, she would not think it was her own problem, but would put the blame on others, like now…”

“Obviously, Shu Yi has already believed that the root of the problem lies with Xu Qing’an. In her eyes, Xu Qing’an came to the show just to pursue Nie Wenjin. Plus, we all hinted that Xu Real Estate was the only sponsor. She could make all this logically consistent in her own way, and from there, she began to target those who, in her eyes, had offended her territory.”

“She can’t deal with Xu Qing’an, and she has no power to fight against Xu Real Estate, so the person she is most likely to target is about to be revealed.”

Li Wensheng: …

Li Wensheng seemed to have lost all his strength and ability, and his whole body was numb.

He said woodenly:

“Nie Wenjin.”

“She wants to target Nie Wenjin because although Nie Wenjin is more famous than her, he is unable to act now. This is the only person she can find a way to deal with. All she has to consider is how to avoid the camera.”

Kou Hongying nodded with satisfaction.

Director Li finally understood the current situation!
“I suggest placing more hidden security personnel around their shelters to avoid danger.”

“Because I can’t tell if Shuyi has other problems. If it’s just NPD, it doesn’t matter. They don’t have the courage to do anything too extreme. They will just be incompetent and furious, and do small things behind the scenes. But if Shuyi has other personality disorders or even mental problems that haven’t shown any signs yet, then we have to be careful.”

“That would be really bad.”
