Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house

The director was calculating in his mind, but on the surface he still maintained a fair and impartial demeanor.

He pretended to ponder for a moment before speaking, "Since Ji-eun has no choice but to continue participating in the second half of the competition, then she should rest here."

The rest of the team will continue the match as planned.

Nika immediately chimed in, her tone dripping with undisguised meaning, "Director, Ji-eun was injured because of Xia Lin, and the competition has progressed to this stage. It would be unfair if she were to withdraw now."

So, shouldn't their group also keep one person?

How about this, Shi Ye, you're a boy, you're strong, why don't you take Zhi En back to rest and take care of her while you're at it?

"Leave the competition arrangements to Charlene!"

Charlene nearly vomited when she heard this.

So all that I did was waiting for this moment?

From scheming against himself at the beginning to slandering him later, wasn't it all for the sake of being alone with Tokino?

They've really gone to great lengths to scheme!

However, she is currently in a very unfavorable situation. If she tries to defend herself again, she doesn't know how she will be smeared.

It's fine with her, but it would be bad if she implicated Shi Ye.

The director thought it was a good idea, and he was just about to say, "Let's arrange it this way!"

Unexpectedly, the next second Shi Ye spoke, his voice calm but unusually firm, "No need, we forfeit the match, we consider it a loss!"

He paused for a moment, his gaze slowly sweeping over everyone present, and continued, "Since Miss Lee Ji-eun was accidentally pushed down by Xia Lin, that means Xia Lin also fell, which led to this situation."

Her leg is injured too; we need to take her back to get it treated.

These words completely surprised everyone, and the scene immediately fell silent.

Everyone originally thought that Shino would comply with the production team's arrangements and continue to cooperate with the recording.

Lee Ji-eun was feeling smug, thinking her plan had finally succeeded, but she never expected that Shi Ye would make such a decision.

For a moment, her expression turned ugly and she looked completely bewildered.

Before she could react, she watched as Shi Ye walked towards Xia Lin, squatted down in front of her, and said with concern, "Roll up your trouser legs, let me see."

Charlene seemed hesitant, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

But in the end, she nodded slightly and slowly pulled her trouser leg up.

As the trouser legs were lifted, large bruises were clearly visible on both knees, and there were also several scratches from stones on the calves.

Those wounds looked even deeper than Lee Ji-eun's, with blood seeping from the edges.

Her ankle was also slightly swollen, indicating that she had sprained it.

When Shi Ye returned, he noticed that Xia Lin was walking behind the two of them, her steps were slightly unsteady and her posture was not very natural.

Moreover, there were two obvious stains on her black pants, as if she had fallen knee-first and knelt down when she fell.

Everyone present fell silent upon witnessing this scene.

Despite her severe injuries, Charlene remained completely silent.

On the contrary, Lee Ji-eun, who was clearly not seriously ill, deliberately pretended to be extremely weak and needed to be helped back.

In comparison, Lee Ji-eun's performance seemed particularly affected and pretentious.

Some clever people, after a moment's thought, vaguely sensed that something was amiss.

Lee Ji-eun never expected things to develop this way, and she watched as everyone's gaze gradually turned skeptical.

She quickly tried to cover for her, saying, "Little sister Xia Lin, how did you fall like this? You weren't making a sound just now."

If I had known, I would have had Nika help you.

Nika scoffed, "Little Charlene looks young, but she's quite tolerant."

The sarcasm in those words couldn't be clearer.

To the onlookers, it seemed as if they were implying that Xia Lin was scheming and deliberately hiding her true feelings to gain sympathy.

It has to be said that this person's rhetoric was the real cunning.

Just then, Shi Ye spoke calmly, "You really can endure it. You can't even speak anymore. It must hurt a lot, right?"

His gaze shifted to Lee Ji-eun, his tone suddenly turning cold, "So it seems Miss Lee is alright? Otherwise, how could she still have the energy to say so much?"

After he finished speaking, without paying attention to Lee Ji-eun's expression, he said to the director, "Director, Miss Lee's injuries are not that serious. Please arrange for someone to take her back to the camp."

As for Charlene, I can handle it myself, so I won't trouble the production team.

The director hadn't expected things to develop this way and hesitated for a moment.

Before she could even express her opinion, Shi Ye had already carried Xia Lin on his back.

Seeing this, the director had no choice but to nod in agreement.

After all, both of them were genuinely injured, so this was the only arrangement for the time being.

As a result, both groups withdrew from the competition and returned to the camp.

Along the way, they encountered several other groups of people who were still competing.

Seeing the commotion, Emily asked in confusion, "What happened?"

The production team simply explained, "Two people were injured and need to return to the camp for treatment."

Emily's gaze then fell on Charlene, who was being carried on Shino's back.

She stepped forward, her voice filled with worry, "How is Xia Lin? Is she badly hurt?"

Charlene said in a low voice, "Thank you for your concern, Sister Emily. I'm fine, just some scratches."

When Emily looked down at the wound, her eyes widened in surprise. "This is nothing? Look at your ankle, it's all swollen!"

As she spoke, she frowned and shook her head, "Go back and treat your wounds, get some rest!"

Charlene forced a smile, nodded slightly, and whispered, "Okay."

Emily didn't look away immediately, but stared at her for a long time, her eyes filled with concern and inquiry.

Suddenly, she reached out and gently pinched Xia Lin's cheek, her voice extremely low, almost as if she were whispering, "Why do you look so aggrieved? Judging from your expression, this matter is probably not that simple, is it?"

Could it be... there's something else going on behind the scenes?

Charlene lowered her eyes, pressed her lips together, and remained silent.

Emily could tell from her reaction at a glance.

She couldn't help but sigh, her tone carrying a hint of understanding and helplessness, "It seems that's really true; some people are just inherently restless."

I thought that since the competitions were split up, things would at least be a bit quieter, but I didn't expect I'd still fall for their trick!

Charlene initially thought the same thing.

When I went to the stream with them, I was still a little wary of them.

But things happened unexpectedly, and were simply impossible to prevent.

She could only accept her bad luck.

However, these two public figures actually conspired to put on a show against her, an unknown nobody, showing a lack of magnanimity.

It's truly shocking and disgusting.
