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

Charlene's expression froze for a moment, a look of disbelief and astonishment flashing in her eyes.

It seems that it wasn't just me who noticed that the car had been tampered with?

Tokino-san noticed it too.

But...why did it have to come to this?

It's just a TV show. Isn't the director worried? What if something goes wrong and the production team gets into serious trouble?

Charlene couldn't understand it, but following Shi Ye's suggestion, she kept it to herself for the time being and didn't say anything.

Right now, the director is standing in front of everyone, casually announcing the scores of the guests.

Lee Ji-eun came in first, Leondo second, and this time, Emily earned third place based on her own merit. Next were Ailando and Stiro, followed by Christine, and Shino came in last.

When the director announced the last name, the atmosphere on set clearly froze, as if even the air itself had gone silent for a few seconds.

Everyone present was a seasoned veteran in the industry, a fact they all understood without tacit agreement.

From the moment the car started having problems, to the moment when Tokino seemed to have the game in the bag but then stalled again at the crucial moment, all the signs were strange.

For a major program like this, the safety of the guests is the top priority. It's impossible for such a basic mistake to occur, let alone a series of mistakes.

This is highly suspicious.

However, Tokino himself appeared unusually calm and accepted the result with equanimity.

He didn't show any dissatisfaction or doubt, but simply looked at the director and calmly asked, "So the punishment for losing is that I won't get any dinner tonight?"

The director nodded and replied, "Yes."

Seeing this, Lee Ji-eun immediately added understandingly, "Director, with Shi Ye's abilities, he shouldn't have lost."

Since the car broke down, the production team also bears some responsibility. How about we let them have dinner with us tonight?

After all, if the engine hadn't stalled, he would have been in first place!

The director was initially reluctant to make an exception, believing it would be unfair to others and break the rules of the game.

The original intention was to leave the last-place team without food, and see how they would manage to secure their supplies.

This makes the show more interesting, which makes it more appealing to viewers, and naturally leads to higher ratings.

But the others genuinely acknowledged Tokino's abilities.

Everyone agreed that Shi Ye had indeed performed the best in the race just now, and if it weren't for the car problem, he would have been in first place.

The way the program team handled the situation seemed somewhat unfair, and even bullying.

They couldn't stand by and watch, so they all spoke up for him.

Ultimately, the director was persuaded by everyone's reasons and agreed to let Tokino's group go to the cruise ship for a meal.

However, Shi Ye spoke up calmly, saying, "There's no need to get on the yacht. Xia Lin is still injured, and it's inconvenient for her to get on the boat."

If the other senior colleagues don't mind us eating with them, we'll eat with them.

In return, I can cook.

As soon as these words were spoken, Emily was the first to raise her hand in agreement, and said with a smile, "Sure, sure! I really enjoyed lunch and was just wondering if I'd have another chance to have it!"

The others listened and agreed, thinking the suggestion was quite good.

However, despite the harmonious atmosphere, Lee Ji-eun's team, though they won the match, did not seem happy and their expressions appeared somewhat stiff.

In particular, Shi Ye's rejection made her feel even more embarrassed.

Nika, watching from the side, felt that Shi Ye's attitude towards Lee Ji-eun was colder than before.

The director didn't expect Tokino to do it this way.

He had intended to say something, but since he had already made an exception earlier, it would be easy for him to be criticized if he objected now.

Moreover, people will see that he is too biased towards Lee Ji-eun.

After careful consideration, the director said nothing more and could only continue the competition.

Given that several groups of guests were injured in previous segments, the program's planned mountain off-road activities and other events could not proceed as scheduled.

Therefore, it was decided to insert a match, with beach volleyball as the alternative event.

There are a total of seven groups of people on site. Lee Ji-eun's injury is not serious and she can play.

Charlene and her sister Emily were unable to participate in strenuous exercise due to the severity of their injuries.

Therefore, Tokino and Emily were temporarily assigned to the same team.

The director divided the teams into two large groups, with three groups on each side, to ensure the fairness and watchability of the competition.

The director announced the rules of the competition: "The competition time is limited to half an hour. During this time, each team member needs to give full play to their individual abilities and demonstrate teamwork."

Ultimately, the team with the most wins will receive more charity points, while the losing team will have points deducted.

After the rules were announced, everyone asked, "How do we form groups?"

The production team then took out a lottery box and announced, "The team assignments will be determined by drawing lots."

Each group needs to send one representative up. The three groups that draw the blue ball automatically form one team, and the three groups that draw the red ball form another team.

After saying that, the director looked at Shi Ye and suggested, "Shi Ye, why don't you and your group go first?"

However, Tokino politely declined, saying modestly, "Let the seniors draw first."

After realizing that the production team might be plotting against him, Shi Ye became wary and less willing to cooperate.

However, his attitude remained polite, and his reasons seemed quite convincing, making it impossible to discern his true thoughts.

Upon hearing this, the director had no choice but to say, "In that case, Emily taking the plunge is the same."

Emily smiled self-deprecatingly and spread her hands, saying, "I have notoriously bad luck. From childhood to adulthood, I have almost never won in these kinds of lotteries."

How about this, let the others go first!

The director almost jumped up in anger.

This box had been tampered with beforehand.

The original plan was to have Shino draw first, so that he and Lee Ji-eun would be in the same group.

Unexpectedly, these two were both incredibly difficult to deal with, and were completely out of control.

Just then, Leondo stepped forward and said in a relaxed tone, "Since everyone is so hesitant, I'll go first!"

Then, without waiting for anyone's reaction, he reached out and took out a colorful ball.

Seeing this, the director remained silent for a while, and could only let them go.

Seeing this, Christine followed suit and started smoking as well.

Then, one by one, everyone got their hands on the ball.

Unsurprisingly, the final result was that Tokino stood in the opposing group to Lee Ji-eun.

Lee Ji-eun looked unwell, her heart filled with resentment.

Despite meticulous planning, why do things always turn out differently than intended? They deviate from the expected path and end up having nothing to do with Shi Ye.
