Wang Cheng's wife finally opened the door and saw the two police officers standing outside. Overwhelmed with emotion, she burst into tears.
Looking at the man being accused beside her, he wore a fierce expression, as if regretting that his plans had not succeeded. A sharp knife lay scattered on the ground next to him. She couldn't even bear to think about what might have happened if she had accidentally opened the door; it would have likely ended in tragedy.
Ruan Fuxi knew that the crisis had passed, so she stood up from her bamboo chair and said to Wang Cheng, "It's over now." Then, turning to the live stream camera, she added, "Today's divination is complete; everyone should get some rest."
The barrage of comments in the live stream momentarily halted at her cheerful remark before quickly resuming its rapid flow.
"Come on, Ruan Jie, let's chat a bit more!"
"Ruan Jie's beauty slays me! No matter how many times I see it, I'm still amazed!"
"Sigh, I've figured this woman out; once she finishes her divination, she goes back to rest."
"This style really resembles that of streamer Xilili; are they not the same person?"
After exchanging words with her online followers, Ruan Fuxi returned to her wooden cabin. She wanted to discuss with Xuan Ye how to repair the Star Plate in more detail. Given his profound cultivation and years of training, he must have gathered some materials for refining tools.
Once Ruan Fuxi returned to her room, others congratulated Wang Cheng before heading back to their own rooms to rest. That night, news broke out in a neighborhood in Jing City about a man attempting to take revenge on society by disguising himself as a delivery person and attacking a homeowner with a knife.
Viewers who had just watched "Desert Island King" quickly deduced that this neighborhood belonged to Director Wang Cheng, and the man seeking revenge was the one who had knocked on Wang Cheng's door. As a result, Ruan Fuxi gained another wave of followers.
Later that night, Sheng Yanzhou avoided the live streaming equipment and sought out Director Wang Cheng.
Wang Cheng was somewhat surprised that his wealthy benefactor had come to see him late at night. Could it be that he had done something to upset Sheng Yanzhou?
Wang Cheng quickly racked his brain, trying to recall if he had done anything recently that might have displeased him. After thinking it over, he realized that aside from today’s arrangements getting a bit out of hand, everything else should be fine.
Suddenly, a thought struck him—what about the Taipan snake that had been smuggled onto the island by the staff? If it weren’t for Xiao Xi’s ability to control animals, she might have been bitten herself. Just thinking about it made Wang Cheng break into a cold sweat.
Sheng Yanzhou was definitely here to hold him accountable. After all, the incident with the Taipan snake was a failure on their production team’s part; they hadn’t managed safety protocols properly. If Ruan Fuxi had really been harmed because of this, he didn’t dare imagine what the consequences would be. Ruan Fuxi was none other than Sheng Yanzhou’s beloved; just this fact alone was enough to bring trouble upon the production team.
Wang Cheng forced a smile. “Mr. Sheng, what brings you here?”
He couldn’t help but feel guilty. Sheng Yanzhou looked at him with an unreadable expression, but Wang Cheng felt an overwhelming pressure.
His voice was low and serious. “I want an explanation regarding the Taipan snake incident.”
Wang Cheng thought to himself, it’s over; he really is here to demand answers. After a moment of contemplation, he straightened up and replied, “Mr. Sheng, we have already suspended the staff involved in this matter and reported it to the police. However, since this island is overseas, it won’t be quick to bring them back for investigation.”
Sheng Yanzhou frowned, clearly dissatisfied. “Get them sent back to the country overnight and directly into the hands of the police. I’ll arrange for a private jet.”
He harbored resentment towards Shi Lili for her actions against Xiao Xi; someone like her couldn’t be allowed to remain any longer.
Wang Cheng could only nod in agreement.
