Chapter 687: Chapter 30: The Cannon Fodder Starlet Who Gives Up on Struggling (Part 30)

He glanced around circle after circle.

Lu Huan urged nearby.

"What are you doing, hurry up, we’re way behind everyone else."

Lu Ming remained unmoved and simply sat down.

He really wanted to know if the trap had been tampered with.

If it was, then who tampered with it?

He didn’t dare to rush forward, while beside him, Lu Huan continued to speak without feeling any pain.

"Aren’t you planning to join the basketball team? Just use this opportunity to train well.

Are you rested? If you’ve rested, let’s go."

She was at ease, and with Lu Ming walking so slowly, she seemed like she was just enjoying the scenery along the way, naturally willing to continue moving forward.

Lu Ming glanced up at her.

Then he spoke.

"Sister, it seems like there was a flag ahead before, I guess it was removed by Sister Jiang Lai and the others."

As soon as Lu Huan heard this, she carefully looked over.

"It does seem like there’s... AHH——!!!"

A piercing scream echoed throughout the forest, startling the live camera, causing it to shake, and a flock of birds flew off in a flurry.

Lu Ming’s heart skipped a beat.

He hurriedly looked over, and upon seeing the Beast Trap on Lu Huan’s foot, the first thing that flashed through his mind was regret.

It didn’t catch Jiang Qu.

Damn it, he’s really lucky.

Lu Huan was still screaming and crying, with the surrounding staff immediately rushing up, supporting her and letting her sit down clumsily.

The camera quickly moved away.

After all, this was an accident that couldn’t be broadcasted.

Lu Huan cried miserably and kept blaming Lu Ming.

"It’s all your fault for insisting I take a look! What was so good to see!!"

"My foot is ruined; my foot hurts so much!"

"Wooo, Lu Ming, are you trying to get me killed!"

Lu Ming stood inside, frowning while carefully looking at the Beast Trap on Lu Huan’s foot, then expressionlessly scolded.

"What are you crying about? You’re fine!"

Lu Huan couldn’t hear it at all and continued to cry. Meanwhile, the wind in the forest also ceased, and because everyone crowded around her with concern, the air seemed to thin out.

Lu Ming was very frustrated.

His painstakingly set trap, in the end, caught such a fool.

The Beast Trap was quickly removed.

Fortunately, Lu Huan’s hiking boots were of excellent quality, with three layers of leather inside and out, blocking most of the trap’s force.

In the end, there was just a bit of bleeding on her ankle that needed a bit of disinfection and it was fine.

But Lu Huan still kept crying out that her ankle hurt, so the director had no choice but to let her take a car up the mountain from another path.

But this meant effectively giving up on the game.

With his face tense, Lu Ming knew that persisting now was meaningless, so he had no choice but to join and get into the car.

At this point, he could only be thankful that Jiang Lai and Jiang Qu had minimal supplies and wouldn’t make it to the top of the mountain either.

They would give up midway too.

This, in turn, made Lu Ming feel a little better.

Once they were in the car, it became very convenient to go up the mountain.

In less than an hour, the car reached the top of the mountain.

The director was waiting there too.

"Since you have already given up the game, the next segments have nothing to do with you, for now, go rest in the cabin on the side."

Lu Huan’s eyes were still red.

"It’s not our fault; did you know there were Beast Traps on the mountain? I’ve suffered mental trauma."

The director frowned.

They had thoroughly surveyed the mountain path the day before, and as long as the guests didn’t run off course, no accidents should have occurred.

He couldn’t explain the presence of the Beast Trap either.

That stretch of the path shouldn’t have had problems.

"We will investigate this thoroughly."

Lu Huan was relentless, having suffered for these days, there was no way she’d let them go easily.

"We signed an agreement when we joined the show. You’re obligated to ensure our safety, but today I was greatly threatened, you owe me an explanation."

The director, of course, knew they were at a disadvantage.

So he frowned and pondered for a while.

"Don’t worry, we will investigate thoroughly, and I will question the security personnel responsible for that route, perhaps they weren’t diligent."

"You think you can just investigate and clarify? With so many people, who are you going to investigate? I’m holding you accountable, so what do you suggest?"

The director nodded. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Rest assured, we’ve installed cameras along the route; your area should be covered by surveillance. I’ll provide you with an explanation.

As for the filming, you may continue if you wish, or leave early; we’ll arrange for other guests to fill in."

Lu Huan felt infuriated and laughed at the director’s dismissive attitude.

They were clearly at fault, yet they maintained such calmness while dismissing her?

"What about compensation? How will this affect my future work?!"

Emotional and about to say more, Lu Ming directly interrupted her, speaking straightforwardly.

"We drifted off the planned route ourselves, so that’s why this accident occurred. At present, my sister is fine, just a bit emotional; director, don’t take it to heart.

Since no one was injured, there’s no need to blow this matter out of proportion, and we can continue filming."

With a few words, both the director and Lu Huan were left stunned.

The director did not expect the most troublesome Lu Ming to be so magnanimous now! He had thought Lu Ming would take advantage and extort them.

Lu Huan was even more incredulous, staring wide-eyed at Lu Ming.

"Lu Ming, what are you saying? Are you even my real brother? You’re siding with others? I was scared to death, do you know?!"

Lu Ming still shielded her, maintaining the same stance as before.

"We came to participate in this survival variety show prepared for various unexpected situations, so we can continue the filming without blaming anyone for this small incident.

Director, we’ll step out for a bit, you go ahead with your work."

Saying this, Lu Ming pulled Lu Huan, trying to walk outside.

Lu Huan wouldn’t comply.

"Lu Ming, what are you doing!! Are you out of your mind?! Do you realize my foot was nearly crippled?!"

That was a Beast Trap! If it wasn’t for her luck in wearing professional hiking boots with long shafts, could she still be sitting here fine?

Forget about being a celebrity, such an incident would be a massive blow to an ordinary person too.

Lu Ming stared at her, whispering in her ear.

"You shouldn’t be agitated right now, let me explain outside."

"Explain your ass!! I want compensation from them! Mental damages! Or I’ll sue them!"

Who cares, she had some background too, plus, the fact was they were at fault.

Clearly, the other side had agreed to investigate and then compensate, yet Lu Ming wanted her to let it go?!

"Lu Huan!! Can’t you listen to me just once?!!"

The director watched the siblings argue, completely clueless about what to do.
