"Lin Lu, are you ready for tomorrow's treasure hunt competition on the sea?" Li Xue walked up to Lin Lu, her tone laced with a hint of provocation.
Lin Lu put down her phone, looked up, and calmly met Li Xue's gaze. "Of course I'm ready. What's the matter?"
A smirk curled at the corners of Li Xue's mouth as she gently played with her hair, her eyes filled with calculation. "I heard the production team has prepared a special reward. The guest who comes in first will receive a mysterious gift."
Lin Lu ignored Li Xue's provocation, simply nodding slightly and responding in a calm tone, "Then it seems we need to compete seriously tomorrow."
Seeing that Lin Lu was not falling for her bait, Li Xue stopped talking and turned to walk back to her room, glancing back at Lin Lu one last time.
Once in her room, Li Xue immediately contacted Chen Xue to relay the conversation she just had.
"Sister Xue, it seems Lin Lu hasn't noticed the changes made by the production team at all; she's still so naive," Li Xue said with a hint of mockery in her voice.
Chen Xue let out a cold laugh, a glint of malice flashing in her eyes. "The more naive she is, the easier it will be for her to fall into my trap. Tomorrow, I will make her understand what true despair feels like!"
Chen Xue picked up her phone and called the director of the production team, demanding a change in tomorrow's competition rules to create trouble for Lin Lu.
Her voice was icy and devoid of warmth.
The director hesitated for a moment; he knew Chen Xue held significant influence within the production team. Refusing her could lead to unnecessary complications.
"Sister Xue, you know that the rules of the production team cannot be changed arbitrarily..." The director tried to explain but was cut off by Chen Xue.
"I don't care about any rules. All I know is that if Lin Lu doesn't lose tomorrow, you can expect to pack your things and leave!" Chen Xue's tone was filled with threats, sending a chill down the director's spine.
Lin Lu got out of bed and walked to the window, looking out at the sea. Confusion and unease filled her eyes. She had a vague feeling that something would happen tomorrow, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Early the next morning, the production team announced new challenge rules: everyone would be divided into two groups for the treasure hunt at sea. The winning group would be determined by who found the most treasures within the allotted time.
Lin Lu and Lin Xuemin were placed in one group, while Chen Xue and Li Xue were assigned to another.
As the competition began, Lin Lu and Lin Xuemin quickly found the first clue and followed its directions to discover a hidden treasure chest.
Just as they were about to open the chest, Chen Xue and Li Xue suddenly appeared and snatched it away from them.
Lin Lu and Lin Xuemin were momentarily stunned; they never expected Chen Xue and Li Xue to do something like this.
"How could you do this?" Lin Lu asked angrily.
Chen Xue looked at Lin Lu with a cold smile, her eyes filled with malice. "A competition is a competition. Whoever gets to the treasure chest first has the right to open it; it has nothing to do with morals."
Lin Lu was so furious that she couldn't find the words, her fists clenched tightly.
At that moment, the director of the program sat in the control room, watching Lin Lu and Lin Xuemin anxiously searching for clues on the beach, a cold smile creeping onto his lips. He picked up his phone and dialed Chen Xue's number.
"Sister Xue, I've taken care of what you instructed."
"Good job," Chen Xue replied, a hint of pride in her voice. "Proceed with the next task as planned. Make sure Lin Lu loses completely!"
The director responded quietly and hung up the phone.
He turned to his assistant beside him and said softly, "Go clear away those obstacles on the beach. Remember, make it look like an accident."
The assistant nodded and left the control room.
After hanging up, Chen Xue smiled triumphantly, as if she could already envision Lin Lu's failure.
"Li Xue, let's go check over there. Lin Lu and Lin Xuemin definitely won't expect us to go that way."
Li Xue also revealed a sly smile and left with Chen Xue.
Lin Lu and Lin Xuemin searched the beach for a long time but found nothing. They began to suspect that the production team had deliberately brought them to the wrong place.
Lin Xuemin furrowed his brow, observing the surrounding environment.
“Brother, it seems like… something is off here…” Lin Lu pointed to a rock not far away.
“Hmm?” Lin Xuemin looked in the direction Lin Lu was pointing, his eyes filled with confusion.
He approached the rock and examined it closely, discovering signs of being artificially stacked.
“This… this seems to have been placed here intentionally!” Lin Xuemin exclaimed.
Lin Lu also noticed something was wrong.
“Brother, we’ve been set up!” Lin Lu said worriedly.
Lin Xuemin's brow tightened even more as he scanned the area, his gaze sharp as he surveyed everything around him.
“I suspect that the production team has deliberately set a trap to make us lose the competition!” Lin Xuemin said firmly.
