Chapter 287 is indeed sick, but
Li Wensheng was slightly stunned. He did not expect that Lu Siyuan would come and take the initiative to propose announcing the results earlier.

Everyone knew very well that if there was any problem here, the one who would suffer would be Lu Siyuan, not him.

But if you change your way of thinking…it seems to make sense.

Anyway, he couldn’t run away. There was no time or space for negotiation on the live show. The attitude of the Southern Sichuan TV station didn’t seem to be willing to talk at all. Even if they could talk and exchange interests, it would not be Lu Siyuan who should come forward, but the people behind Lu Siyuan. They were qualified and capable of talking to Meng Yunda.

It seems that Lu Siyuan is also in a state of giving up hope.

Li Wensheng paused and gave a kind but rejecting smile:
“I just told everyone that we’ll talk after dinner. Teacher Lu, you should go eat something as well. We have other plans later. And after this is over, you still have to find food for lunch and dinner. It’s hard to sustain high-intensity activities on an empty stomach.”

Lu Siyuan only felt a mouthful of blood stuck in his heart, unable to move up or down, and felt very uncomfortable.

But no matter what, Li Wensheng’s attitude was very firm. He insisted on waiting for a while before announcing the result. Lu Siyuan had no choice but to return to the cart with a dark face, picked up a piece of leftover bread, and started to eat it silently.

Ten minutes passed.

Until Qi Qingyi, who was the slowest eater, had finished eating and even ran to wash her hands in the sea water, Lu Siyuan finally couldn’t bear it anymore.

He walked up to Li Wensheng again, his voice becoming even colder:
“Director Li, we’ve finished our meal now, you can finally make the announcement, right?”

“If you make another excuse, not only us, but also the audience in the live broadcast room will scold you for deliberately keeping us in suspense.”

Li Wensheng smiled and took out a tablet computer with a friendly expression, saying:

“That’s what I said. I’ll say it when I agreed to say it. I won’t break my promise.”

“I wanted to let you guys take your time, but since you strongly requested it, I will just announce the result right now.”

“The hospital has sent us the electronic version of the report. It’s right here. In fact, it also includes the reports of our program staff. However, in order to protect their privacy and considering that the audience’s focus is not here, we just spent a few minutes filtering out their reports. The tablet only has the report results of the guests.”

After he explained this, the other guests looked enlightened.

No wonder Director Li insisted on waiting until they finished eating before making the announcement. It turns out that in addition to the abstract reason of “so that I won’t lose my appetite after listening to it”, the more important reason is that he needs time to filter out irrelevant information about amateurs.

From this perspective, his behavioral logic seems much more normal.

Everyone had an expression of “I see”. Except for Lu Siyuan, he still had an ugly expression on his face. He stared straight at the tablet in Li Wensheng’s hand. His eyes seemed to penetrate the metal back plate and directly see what was written on the screen.

Feeling his urging gaze, Li Wensheng felt a little uncomfortable. He coughed twice and said:

“The blood test reports of the nine guests are all here. There is nothing wrong with the results of eight of them. However, there is indeed a problem with the result of one guest.”

“In his test report, both TPAB and TRUST were positive, which means that the person being tested is currently infected with the M virus.”

“I won’t go into detail here about what these two tests specifically represent. In fact, I’m also the doctor I just consulted, so I can’t explain it very clearly. You just need to understand that when both tests are positive, the probability of a false positive can basically be ruled out.”

Having said this, Li Wensheng stopped talking.

Because, right in front of him, Lu Siyuan’s legs were already a little weak, he could hardly stand steadily, and staggered several times, but at this moment no one was willing to help him.

Lu Siyuan’s mind went blank.

He didn’t expect that he was actually sick…or rather, whether he was sick or not, he didn’t expect it to be announced publicly on the show like this.

Liu Shuangcheng, how dare you let yourself be exposed?!
Don’t say that Changshan has no connections, or that his network is all in the north, or that the Southern Sichuan TV station might be targeting them so they arranged the most trusted hospital… These are all nonsense.

If you are really determined to save him, you can give him money or ask Meng Yunda to sell his flesh in exchange for resources. There is always a way.

But it just didn’t happen.

Liu Shuangcheng did nothing, but he was allowed to take the blame so openly.

Grass!
Lu Siyuan’s teeth were grinding, and he raised his head after a while, staring at Li Wensheng, which scared the latter greatly, because his capillaries had ruptured due to excessive force, and his eyes turned into the legendary scarlet eyes.

What a dank male ghost…

Li Wensheng shuddered and stuttered:

“But, um, Mr. Lu, don’t worry, I didn’t say that person was you.”

Lu Siyuan almost wanted to laugh out loud.

He grinned, revealing a slightly ferocious smile:

“If it’s not me, who is that?”

“Director Li, you’re not still trying to create a show effect, are you? That’s really disrespecting me as a human being!”

In this program, among the female guests, only Shu Yi is more likely to be sick, but when Shu Yi approached him, it was obviously her first time in the adult entertainment industry. Looking at Xu Qing’an’s dog-licking look, it is very likely that he has not treated her badly in other aspects except for resources, so she would not sleep with others casually.

There’s no need to mention other women. Qi Qingyi, a spoiled young lady, is the first one to be ruled out. He has never heard of Nie Wenjin being seduced before, and Lu Xiaoli, a gay wife who stays at home to take care of the children, is also out of the question.

That leaves only the male guests.

Han Fei, to put it nicely, is a man who keeps himself clean. To put it bluntly, he is just a foolish young man. How can a man who doesn’t know how to hug a golden thigh in front of him go to mess around? Moreover, no one in the world knows Han Fei’s schedule better than Lu Siyuan. In the years when he threw the most dirty water, he even hired someone to follow Han Fei for several months, but he didn’t take any usable photos. What’s the point of messing around?

Xu Qingan, although he is a rich second-generation, one can be suspicious, but he seems to care about Shu Yi very much until now, so even if he is having an affair, he should not spend much money on her.

People like Ren Tuo, who have obsessive-compulsive disorder, often have mysophobia. Even if they play extravagantly, they must use condoms, so the possibility is not very high.

Only Zhao Mingtao is left…

and many more.

Zhao Mingtao???
Having not heard Li Wensheng’s voice for a long time, Lu Siyuan looked up and saw that Li Wensheng’s eyes were looking in a certain direction behind him. He turned around with a force that could have twisted his neck and stiffened his pillow, and followed the line of sight to find the end.

The person Li Wensheng was staring at was Zhao Mingtao!

“what do you mean……”

Lu Siyuan grabbed Li Wensheng’s arm in disbelief, looked at him, then looked at Zhao Mingtao behind him, and repeated this three times before he dared to speak:
“The person who got the disease was really not me, but Zhao Mingtao?!”

Li Wensheng, who was caught, took a lot of effort to pry his hand away from his arm. He felt a burning pain at the place where it was grabbed, as if it had been clamped by pliers.

Director Li looked a little haggard, and he wanted to light a cigarette:
“I know you are anxious, but don’t be anxious… Didn’t I just tell you that it’s not you in the report? Why didn’t you believe it just now, but believe it now!” Although the meaning of his words was very clear and it was a pleasant surprise for Lu Siyuan, to be honest, it was still a little too hard for Lu Siyuan to believe it now.

He even felt that the direction of this matter was too abstract, too O. Henry-like, so that he dared not confirm his previous guess no matter what.

So Lu Siyuan ignored Li Wensheng, whose hand was still hurting, and stubbornly grabbed his arm again and asked:
“Answer me directly first. Is he Zhao Mingtao?”

Li Wensheng sighed. There was no other way but to nod:
“Yes, yes, yes, that’s enough!”

“The problem in the medical report is not you, but Zhao Mingtao. Can you let me go now?”

Lu Siyuan let go of Li Wensheng’s hand in an instant, and then looked at Zhao Mingtao with shock and astonishment.

This……

It’s more than unexpected!
This doesn’t seem like something Liu Shuangcheng would do at all!
If he wanted to change the report results, Liu Shuangcheng should have only changed Lu Siyuan’s report result from positive to negative, but now the person infected has been directly replaced by someone else, and the replacement is Liu Shuangcheng’s cheap nephew Zhao Mingtao, who is the marketing manager of Wushuang Film and Television. This is outrageous!
In this situation, either both of them were sick, and Liu Shuangcheng only changed his own result; or, everyone was wrong, and from the beginning to the end, the one who was sick was not Lu Siyuan, but Zhao Mingtao.

Either way, it’s hard to be convincing.

Apart from outrageousness and shock, he had no other thoughts in his mind!

Not only Lu Siyuan’s mind went blank, but other guests also failed to control their expressions, staring at Zhao Mingtao, with the last word “?” written on their left cheek and “!” on their right cheek.

Zhao Mingtao, who was being stared at by everyone, now had a terribly gloomy expression on his face.

He didn’t look at anyone, but walked quickly to Li Wensheng and said in a deep voice:
“Director Li, there must be a misunderstanding here.”

“I won’t say much else. So, didn’t the plane carrying the blood samples go back to Changshan? This report is also in electronic form, which means the plane is still in Changshan.”

“Please notify the plane to come again. I heard that most of these infectious diseases have portable test kits. Please ask the plane to bring a few when it comes. I will cover all the expenses incurred during this period, but the plane must arrive before the end of the show.”

“This request should be reasonable, what do you think?”

When it comes to wealth, Zhao Mingtao is certainly not as rich as Xu Qingan and Qi Qingyi, the two only children.

But even if he was just an unappreciated child in the family, he was still a member of the family after all. When something like this happened, no matter whether the outside world knew who he was, everyone in the same circle knew that this would bring more shame to the family than a sex scandal. As long as he could use a portable test strip to confirm that he was not sick, his family would definitely pay for it.

Besides, it’s not like he hasn’t rented a private jet before. Even if he has to pay for this trip today, he won’t go bankrupt. At most, he will be short of money for a few months.

Compared to the consequences of not handling things properly, the heavy bleeding in your wallet is just a scratch.

Li Wensheng looked at him, was silent for a moment and said:

“In fact, Mr. Zhao, if you suspect there is something wrong with our test report, you can recheck it after the show ends and we return to Changshan.”

“You only need to broadcast the whole process live, and there will definitely be a lot of viewers watching. There is no need to spend so much money.”

Zhao Mingtao sneered, then his face darkened again:
“As a variety show director, you should understand better than me what the golden four hours of public relations are.”

“I have confidence in my own body, and I have no guilty conscience. If you are willing to let me go back to Changshan and do a live check-up on the show, I don’t mind at all – but obviously, this is unlikely.”

“It’s true that blood sample testing is more accurate, but with so many people’s blood samples, and they were sent back from thousands of miles away by plane, who can be sure that there are no mislabeling or mix-ups? I’m sure I’m not sick, but everyone is on the island now. In order to prove my innocence, this is the only way I can think of for now.”

“Please consider my suggestion carefully.”

Lu Siyuan standing next to him was amazed.

Why didn’t I think of this solution before?

If the test report says that you are positive, you should immediately refute it firmly, suspect that the program team has mixed up the blood samples, and ask them to provide a test kit. This can at least delay the process for a few hours and buy more time for those who are doing their best in public relations outside.

Thinking deeper…

Even with the report right in front of him, he still refused to acknowledge it and asked for a second test. Isn’t this also a kind of confidence?

In case the test paper still comes out positive in the end, by then, conspiracy theories will surely emerge among the audience, with internet trolls leading the rhythm and directly blaming the Southern Sichuan TV station for deliberately framing them. As for the others, they will slowly figure out a solution after the show is over, and that’s it!
The more Lu Siyuan thought about it, the more he felt that Zhao Mingtao’s approach was brilliant. He couldn’t help but start imagining in his mind how great it would be if he was the tough person today.

As he thought about it, his expression relaxed unconsciously, and he even smiled a little.

“Can you still laugh?”

Suddenly, a voice came from the side. Lu Siyuan turned around and found that the person talking to him was Shu Yi.

He frowned and said:

“I have proved my innocence, why can’t I laugh?”

“When you are in a bad mood, others can’t even laugh. Who spoiled you with such a bad temper?”

There was a complex emotion in Shu Yi’s eyes, which seemed to be mockery, as well as disdain for the other person’s IQ. Her voice was light and gentle, but to Lu Siyuan’s ears it sounded no different from the devil’s whisper.

“No matter why Zhao Mingtao got that disease…”

“Do you really think you are clean?”

“If it’s true as he just said, he was diagnosed with the disease because someone else’s blood sample was mixed up with his and made a mistake, who do you think is most likely to be the person?”

“If I were you, I would go and privately beg Zhao Mingtao to stop talking about this, take the blame, and work like a slave for him for the rest of your life. Otherwise, when the test paper arrives and the truth comes out, you’ll have to worry again.”

Lu Siyuan’s face froze, and after a long while he pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly:

“How can it be……”

“What if he finds out I’m not sick? Anyway, I’m not sick. My report says I’m healthy!”

Shu Yi glanced at him sideways:
“Your mouth is quite tough, much tougher than your bones.”

“Regardless of whether you are sick or not, I can confirm that he was not sick two days ago. He had no rashes or bumps on his body, and his skin was normal.”

“But I’m a little curious, what if, what if – he shows up in a follow-up check and is healthy, and the program team asks you all to go and get a test, what else can you do?”
