Chapter 142: Mutual Deception
“If the last 400 audience members explode their balloons and are eliminated, even if it really proves that I’m the audience representative, don’t the nine of you have the confidence to fight me alone?” Chen Che questioned everyone.
“How about this? You guys go and pinch the balloon. I’ll stay here quietly. When you’re done, come back and deal with me.”
Chen Che walked to the side and sat down, his tone calm.
“Why don’t we settle you now?” Luo Heng asked in confusion.
“Of course. But if I’m not a representative, then the real traitor is still lurking beside you. When the time comes, excluding me, it will be even harder for you to determine who the traitor is.” Chen Che nodded calmly.
After a moment of silence, he continued, “On the contrary, I think the person who’s especially anxious to get rid of me is more likely to be a traitor.”
“He’s great at talking. How to compete with him?” Luo Heng retreated helplessly.
“I’m afraid it’s impossible to count on talking against him.”
Everyone agreed.
“He actually has the ability to fight with words against a group of scholars and make us automatically retreat.” Chu Feiyun’s tone was impassioned.
Chen Che sat silently and glanced at everyone sharply.
Zhao Chao scratched his cars and cheeks. “Then what should we do?”
Jin Song frowned and asked, “The key is how to find the traitor, tear the name tag, or something else?”
Chen Che stood up boldly and turned his back to Jin Song. “Come, try tearing the name tag.”
Jin Song subconsciously retreated. Chen Che turned around with a sharp gaze. “I see. I understand. The so-called traitor is just an excuse. You’re hostile to me and want to eliminate me. Whether I’m a traitor or not, you have to keep me away…”
Zhao Chao sneered. “At least you know your place.”
Chen Che said provocatively, “Then do it!”
Qin Feng questioned Shen Hong, “Who is it? Didn’t you say that you heard it?”
Shen Hong leaned to the side and smiled. “Actually, it’s not Chen Che.”
Chen Che subconsciously turned around. Zhao Chao asked in surprise, “It’s not Chen Che?”
Shen Hong smiled and said, “Anyway, what I heard was not Chen Che.”
Jin Song pondered for a moment and glared at Shen Hong. He asserted, “That’s the two of you!”
Lin Xi laughed out loud. Luo Heng said teasingly, “Your reputation has already been determined. No one can escape bad luck if they’re close to you.”
Shen Hong nodded in agreement. “Indeed, you’re too conspicuous. No wonder they’re suspicious.”
Chen Che sighed and took responsibility. “Is it me or not?! Brother Hong, are you hallucinating?!”
Shen Hong shook his head. “There are too many people. I can’t be sure.”
Lin Xi suddenly stepped forward. “I believe it’s not him.”
Everyone’s gazes instantly gathered and they questioned in unison, “Then it’s the three of you!”
Lin Xi smiled bitterly. “Do you really want to do this?”
Everyone was hesitant. Luo Heng clapped his hands. “It’s revealed! In the zoo and the mall, Chen Che seems to have deliberately gone easy on Little Xi.” Everyone was shocked and shouted, “I see!”
Lin Xi looked at everyone in confusion. “You can actually make such a deduction?”
Chen Che sighed speechlessly.
Zhao Chao glared at Chen Che solemnly. “Chen Che, if you’re not Little Xi’s accomplice, I’ll despise you.”
Chen Che asked in surprise, “Despise me?”
Zhao Chao pointed at Chen Che and questioned Jin Song, “You always say that for the audience and the production team, but in fact, your every move is for yourself, right?”
Lin Xi smiled and covered her head. Chen Che wanted to say something but hesitated.
Luo Heng teased, “Don’t use me as a shield in the future.”
Everyone laughed again.
Lin Xi shook her head and turned to leave. “You guys are really endless.”
Chen Che also stood up. “Let’s pop the balloons. We’ve wasted too much time here.”
Zhao Ting nodded in agreement. “400 balloons isn’t easy. We have to act quickly.”
Everyone left, leaving only Zhao Chao and Shen Hong.
Zhao Chao asked Shen Hong, “Who is it? Who did you hear?”
Shen Hong whispered, “What I heard was…”
“Four hundred.”
Lin Xi looked for the balloon man and asked the cameraman about the remaining number.
The cameraman counted. There were still 340 left.
Lin Xi thought hard. “Sixty of them have been popped, and there are still more than 300 left. Isn’t this mission too arduous? I feel so desperate.”
Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder.
Lin Xi exclaimed. When she turned around and saw that it was Chen Che, she was so frightened that she retreated defensively.
Chen Che was stunned and frowned at her. “You just said that you trust me.
And you’re being so defensive now. Are you two-faced?”
Lin Xi patted her chest and explained, “No, you scared me just now.”
Chen Che shook his head and walked side by side with her. Chu Feiyun walked over from afar.
“Chen Che, is it really not you?” Chu Feiyun stood far away and glared at Chen Che.
Chen Che replied, “Don’t come over if you don’t believe me.”
Chu Feiyun hesitated and continued to stare at Chen Che. “Why didn’t you eliminate Little Xi first?”
Lin Xi interrupted, “Brother Feiyun, do you want him to eliminate me?”
Chu Feiyun waved his hand and continued to look at Chen Che.
“Sigh, she’s our only female member. She’s beautiful and has a graceful figure. If I eliminate her first, I’m afraid the director will kill me. Brother Feiyun, do you think my answer makes sense?”
Chen Che looked at Chu Feiyun indifferently.
“Hmph.”
“I think you’re telling the truth.” Lin Xi looked at Chen Che.
“Are you saying that the director will kill me?” Chen Che asked curiously.
“It’s the previous sentence.” Lin Xi shook her head.
“Are you the only female member from Let’s Go?” Chen Che nodded.
Lin Xi glanced at Chen Che and walked forward without saying anything.
“No matter who the real culprit is, time is really tight for popping 400 balloons.”
Chu Feiyun subconsciously walked over and gestured to the two of them.
“There are still 340 left,” Lin Xi said.
“40 have been crushed?” Chu Feiyun asked in surprise.
Lin Xi was stunned. She looked at Chu Feiyun blankly and felt that something was wrong.
“Four hundred balloons, forty exploded, and there are still 340 left… Brother Feiyun, is that how you understand it?” Chen Che looked at Chu Feiyun.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It’s 60.1 calculated wrongly.” Chu Feiyun nodded.
Lin Xi smiled.
“Don’t deliberately find trouble, okay?” Chu Feiyun looked at Chen Che complaining.
“I just caught this mistake. I didn’t look for it on purpose! You brought the mistake to yourself. If I don’t catch it, I’ll have OCD.” Chen Che spread his hands.
“Haha.” Lin Xi laughed crookedly.
“Sorry, I misunderstood you,” Chu Feiyun said awkwardly.
“I was wrong about you, okay!!!” Lin Xi patted Chen Che’s back “sincerely”.
Chen Che’s body trembled.
“Brother Feiyun, his back…” Lin Xi suddenly stopped laughing and subconsciously stopped Chu Feiyun.
“I’m sorry, I forgot.” Chu Feiyun was stunned and hurriedly apologized.
“It’s okay. In any case, you can only pat my back. Let’s come to an understanding here,” Chen Che said calmly.
“Hey! Can you restrain yourself?” Lin Xi tugged at Chen Che fiercely.
“Chen Che, I’ll fight you to the death!” Chu Feiyun lowered his head and took a deep breath before suddenly roaring.
“I’m doing this for your own good. If the audience discovers this flaw, they’ll be even more ruthless than me. It’s better for me to complain first than for them to do it!” Chen Che dodged.
Chu Feiyun was still shouting, but after fooling around for a while, Chen Che suddenly looked behind Chu Feiyun and was stunned.
Chu Feiyun and Lin Xi also turned around in confusion.
They did not need Chen Che’s reminder. They had already seen a large group of balloon people hiding in a corner. There were so many of them that they looked abnormally eye-catching.
“Go pop the balloons!”
