The Mystical Biological Mother Returns, the Villainous Sons Stand Up Straight – Chapter 66

Ch 66: Probably Caused Trouble

After five or six minutes, the camera director slowly woke up, opened his eyes, and saw a lush green, dappled with light, like a dream. For a moment, he thought he had arrived in heaven.

“Awake?”

A large face suddenly loomed over from the side, startling the camera director. He looked closely, found it a bit familiar and quite pretty. Looking closer still, it was actually Gu Qingyin!

The camera director was dazed for a second, then overjoyed, “I’m not dead!”

Gu Qingyin couldn’t help but smile, “Yes, I saved you.”

The camera director sat up, looked at his ankle. The black-purple had faded, turning bluish-yellow. It was still a bit swollen and painful when pressed. He was extremely happy. Looking at Gu Qingyin again, there was no trace of dissatisfaction, only gratitude.

“You saved my life!” The camera director scratched his head, sincerely promising, “I have nothing to repay you, but if you ever need me, just say the word, and I will absolutely not hesitate!”

Gu Qingyin breathed a silent sigh of relief. Just now, she almost thought the director was going to offer himself in return, but the director’s appearance really wasn’t her type!

“Can you stand?” Gu Qingyin got up, looked around, “You wait, I’ll find you a cane.”

In the forest, there was no shortage of branches, but considering the camera director’s size, she had to find a thicker one.

Gu Qingyin searched around and found a fallen tree. Half of the trunk was charred black, probably struck by lightning during a rainstorm.

Finding a fork about the thickness of a wrist, Gu Qingyin found a good angle and broke it off with a kick. Then, she twisted it by hand, breaking the connected bark as well. Finally, she cleared off the branches, and a simple cane was made.

When she returned with the cane, the camera director was a little shocked. Gu Qingyin’s hands-on ability really didn’t seem like that of a madam of a wealthy family.

“Try it.”

The camera director stood up, leaning on the cane. Although his foot still didn’t have much strength, he could still walk.

Gu Qingyin nodded in satisfaction, “The road isn’t smooth, we’ll walk slowly. Tell me if you get tired.”

The camera director was overly confident, “It’s okay, it’s not far from the seaside.”

Gu Qingyin gave him a strange look, but didn’t say anything, and led the way.

To make it easier for the camera director to walk, she deliberately chose a slightly flatter path.

The camera director followed behind, still a little dizzy, and belatedly realized a very important question: “Teacher Gu, do you know the way? We’re not lost, are we!”

They’ve been walking for so long, it feels like it’s taking much longer than when they came.

“Put your heart back in your stomach, just follow me.” Gu Qingyin was extremely calm, “When we came, you were focused on filming, so you might not have noticed the time. Actually, we didn’t walk a short distance.”

Is, is that so? The camera director was very confused. Was he that focused on work?

While the two were moving forward at a snail’s pace in the forest, the people outside the program crew were going crazy looking for them.

After the livestream suddenly went black, the audience waited for a while, but after waiting and waiting, it didn’t restart. Gradually, some people went to other livestreams to ask, but at first, there were too few people to make any waves.

As luck would have it, the director, who usually kept an eye on the livestream, happened to have a stomachache and went to the bathroom at this time. There were originally two executive directors watching, but they were called away by someone.

The rest of the program crew also had their own tasks, which led to no one behind the monitors.

At first, no one noticed that something was wrong with Gu Qingyin’s livestream, until Huo Xinghai and the others finished renting diving and fishing equipment, got off the boat, and found no one on the beach. That’s when they realized something was wrong.

Yes, besides Gu Qingyin, Lin Xiaoyun was also missing.

But her livestream was still on, just with a bad signal and severe lag, as if it would cut off at any moment.

At this time, the director strolled back, and his eyes widened when he looked at the monitors. What was going on?!

He took out the walkie-talkie to contact Gu Qingyin and Lin Xiaoyun’s camera directors, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no response. His heart sank, and he quickly contacted the program crew to find them.

Looking at Lin Xiaoyun’s livestream, they should have entered the island’s forest.

Just as he put down his phone, he looked up and saw Huo Xinghai approaching with a grim face. The director sighed inwardly and took the initiative, “Did your mom run into the forest? Doesn’t she know that place is off-limits?”

Huo Xinghai was immediately choked.

The director continued with a stern face, “I’ve already sent people to look for her. You guys do what you’re supposed to do, don’t delay the program filming.”

Huo Xinghai frowned. His mom was missing…

“This island is only so big, we’ll find her in a little while.”

Looking at the director’s confident expression, Huo Xinghai could only suppress the worry in his heart and walked away with some skepticism.

The director breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, half of the program was saved. Once they found the people, he would make a public statement and apologize, and this matter would be over.

But facts proved that he was thinking too optimistically.

A circle of fences, nearly two meters high, was erected around the outside of the forest. The program crew went around in a circle but couldn’t find any entrance. They were anxious and irritable. How did they get in!

Just then, Lin Xiaoyun’s livestream signal finally cut off. Netizens began to speculate whether she and Gu Qingyin had accidentally entered some place or encountered some danger.

The exclamation and muffled sound before Gu Qingyin’s livestream went black, combined with the lagging footage of Lin Xiaoyun’s livestream in the dense forest, were replayed repeatedly. With the addition of netizens’ imaginations, a rumor was born in a logical way.

But slightly rational netizens didn’t believe it. After all, the program was still continuing. If the guests really encountered any danger, the program would have stopped broadcasting long ago. The director couldn’t be that heartless.

The director wasn’t really heartless, he just didn’t realize the seriousness of the problem. But as time went by, he became more and more panicked, and even had the intention of stopping the broadcast and calling the police.

“You can’t call the police!” The producer firmly denied, “We’ve already had one incident before. If we have another one, this program will really be unsalvageable!”

The director was also agitated, “People are missing! What program are you talking about! That’s Huo Xingye, the president of Huo Corporation’s, biological mother!”

The producer had a mysterious look on his face, “Whether she’s his biological mother or not is still up for debate.”

The director was stunned by anger. No, this rumor has been clarified eight hundred times, how can you still believe it?! Are you stupid!

The two were deadlocked, neither giving way, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense. The people around didn’t dare to breathe loudly, for fear that the two would impulsively fight. Mainly, they didn’t know who to help…

At a critical moment, an angelic voice sounded beside them.

“What are you all doing here? Preparing the props for the next segment?”

Everyone turned their heads sharply. The moment they saw Gu Qingyin clearly, their eyes grew hot, and they almost cried.

“Where did you run off to! We were about to call the police!”

Gu Qingyin’s expression paused, and she belatedly realized that she seemed to have caused trouble.
