Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!

Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Word Spreads, Director Sun Takes the Lead in Shipping the CP!

Wisps of smoke gradually rose from the small kitchen.

With the bubbling of the boiler and the crackling of the burning firewood, the two began to converse in low voices.

“Did you find out the origin of that needle?”

Zhao Lang hummed a response, “It’s an anesthesia needle. Lai Fu likely died from a heavy dose of anesthetic.”

Jiang Li furrowed her brows.

“But what could possibly drive someone to brutally kill a family dog?”

Zhao Lang turned and shoved another stick into the stove, gazing at the roaring flames as he spoke:

“If this incident is related to the household next to Aunt Ying’s, then I might be able to guess their motive.”

“I’ve heard about the fortune-telling you did for Aunt Ying. It’s very possible they did something wrong, hid there, and almost got exposed because of Lai Fu.”

“Bearing a grudge, they had the intention of torturing Lai Fu and later tossed it on the mountain to make it look like an accidental fall.”

Jiang Li nodded in agreement.

This explanation made sense.

After all, Aunt Ying’s Lai Fu was very alert, and it would have eventually discovered their traces over time.

However, they lacked conclusive evidence now and didn’t know the exact purpose of those people, so it wasn’t wise to make this public.

Zhao Lang shared this concern.

“In the next few days, I’ll take advantage of the farming work to investigate more. You all just carry on with filming the variety show as usual, especially you, a young lady, should not get involved in such matters.”

The other party had even such powerful anesthesia guns, so they definitely possessed other extremely dangerous weapons.

Jiang Li smiled, looking towards him.

In the midst of trailing smoke, Zhao Lang’s face was warmed to a soft yellow, and the firelight reflected in his eyes, making him look like a Divine Son surrounded by an aura of divinity.

“Everything lies within the realm of cause and effect. Some things can’t be avoided by our deliberate actions. Since I’ve encountered this matter, it means I have a connection with it.”

Moreover, she was not one to tolerate wrongdoing with a soft heart.

She would never condone such atrocities against nature and humanity.

Zhao Lang was taken aback for a moment and, turning his head back, spoke softly:

“So, Miss Jiang believes in karma too?”

“I do,” Jiang Li replied, adding some firewood to the furnace, “But man is the master of his own fate, and I believe more in the power of humanity.”

Humanity can certainly overcome heaven.

Due to the cramped space in the furnace area, the videographer didn’t join in on the commotion but chose to set up the camera at the kitchen door.

Since the distance was quite long and the noise of the firewood crackling was loud, the viewers in the livestream could hardly hear what the two were saying. They could only keep complaining.

[I can’t take this anymore, camera operator, do you even know how to shoot? If not, give me the camera, I’ll shoot for you.]

[Can we report this cameraman to Director Sun? I really want to know what Jiang Li and Daniu are talking about!]

[I can lip-read, let me interpret for you. Jiang Li said, “Brother Daniu, I like you.” Daniu said, “Jiang Li, I also like you.”]

[Hahaha, the sister above is really good at interpreting.]

[The sisterhood above, keep spinning tales, I love hearing them.]

[But why do I think both of their expressions are quite serious? Are they discussing something?]

While the viewers in the livestream were scratching their heads, someone appeared to rescue them—

Director Sun knocked on the door of the little cabin, entered with his hands behind his back, and peeked in.

“Where’s Jiang Li? Jiang Li where are you?”

Then he saw the videographer at the kitchen door.

After leaning in, he saw Jiang Li and Zhao Lang inside the kitchen.

Tsking, he smacked the cameraman.

“Xiao Xu, what are you standing around for? How did I train you before? You must ensure that the voices of the guests are all captured. Standing here, what can the audience in the livestream hear?”

Live streaming room: Director Sun, you’re our god!!!

Xiao Xu touched his head, looking rather aggrieved.

“Director, this kitchen is too small. If I go in there with the camera, there’s simply no way to get in or out.”

That was indeed the case. Uncle Zhao’s house was already one of the poorest in Chixia Village, and the whole house was considered small, let alone the kitchen.

Director Sun coughed and then turned his gaze to the two people sitting behind the stove.

It had to be said that both of them were incredibly good-looking, sitting amidst the smoke and fire, truly giving off the vibe of immortals descending to the mortal realm.

[Hahahaha I’m dying, is Director Sun’s expression implying he’s enamored?]

[Spread the word, the director and I are shipping the same couple!]

[So why is Director Sun coming over at this time? He doesn’t have a special task for Jiang Li, does he?]

Jiang Li also noticed Director Sun peeking and got up, wiping her hands before walking over.

“Director Sun, were you looking for me?”

Director Sun cleared his throat again, finally remembering the purpose of his visit.

“Right, right, right, I indeed have something for you.”

“Let’s go to the yard to talk then.”

After the two went to the yard, Director Sun cut to the chase.

“Actually, it’s nothing major. Do you remember the King’s Game I had you play the day before yesterday?”

“I remember,” Jiang Li nodded.

Director Sun signaled the camera to focus on Jiang Li.

“Well then, congratulations, Comrade Jiang Li, you were selected last night, so for today, you are the king that someone needs to protect. If you guess who the guard is, you will get 5 good score points, otherwise, the other party will get 5 good score points.”

At this moment, Zhao Lang also came out, curiously asking, “What is the King’s Game?”

Jiang Li glanced at Director Sun and replied, “It’s a pretty boring game.”

Director Sun: “!!!”

How was it boring?!

Even if it really was boring, did she have to say it to his face?!

[How can Jiang Li be so blunt, Director Sun’s face has turned green.]

[Director Sun: You can say I’m boring, but you can’t say my game is boring.]

[I’m dying of laughter, convulsing crazily in my blanket.]

[So who’s Lili’s guard today, I’m so curious, I totally forgot about this game and wasn’t paying attention.]

[Me too, I’ve been too caught up in their jokes to remember this was a thing.]

[It’s not Wen Jiaojiao, right? After all, she’s been acting weird all day.]

Director Sun heaved a long sigh.

“Comrade Jiang Li, we’re still live streaming, can’t you give me some face?”

Jiang Li fluttered her eyelashes, “Honesty is a traditional Chinese virtue.”

Director Sun: “……”

If this topic continued, he was going to dig himself another hole!

So Director Sun quickly got back to the topic at hand: “Right, then guess who your guard is?”

Jiang Li pondered for a while.

Director Sun’s smile grew broader.

This girl must finally be stumped, right?

But the next second, Jiang Li looked up, with a sincere face she said, “Director Sun, do you want me to pretend to think for a long time before giving my answer, or should I just say my answer right away?”

Director Sun: “???”

So she was thinking about this just now?!
