Chapter 91: Fang Ning’s Fans’ Declaration

"You’re right, Xiao Ren," Director Chen nodded, saying, "Opportunities like this are rare. We have to take advantage of this limited time to make a big splash."

"Even though our live broadcasts are likely to be taken down later, I’m going to risk my job to make this show a big success!"

Director Chen didn’t know whether there was a lab or even a criminal syndicate behind it, but he knew how to capitalize on the hype.

Such an exciting possibility would definitely ignite the viewers’ interest.

It would be a waste of an opportunity if the show didn’t ride the wave of popularity and give the viewers what they actually want to watch.

There was no need to insist on animal rescue.

Wasn’t the point of their show to raise awareness about unfortunate animals and find them forever homes?

Discovering the lab could reinforce the people’s sympathy for the poor cats used as guinea pigs in illegal animal experiments.

"Go and call the guests. I have an announcement to make."

"Yes, Director Chen."

Assistant Director Han left as soon as she arrived, immediately setting off after receiving Director Chen’s instructions.

A few minutes later, all of the guests were gathered in front of Director Chen.

At the same time, Director Chen and Lin Haoren both stared at Qin Mo and Guo Zhenyu with question marks. Their wounds were disinfected and bandaged, but they should have already left.

"Why are you two still here?" Director Chen frowned.

Qin Mo and Guo Zhenyu were equally baffled by his question and asked in sync, "Didn’t you call us over?"

Dark lines immediately formed on Director Chen’s forehead.

"I meant the others, not you two! Hurry up and get your asses to the hospital for a rabies shot and a physical examination, if necessary! Do you two not want your lives anymore?!"

Director Chen lost his cool as he harshly scolded the two dimwits, kicking them away.

"O-oh!" Qin Mo and Guo Zhenyu retreated awkwardly from everyone’s sight.

The scene of their distressing retreat made everyone laugh. None of them thought Director Chen had been too harsh.

His concern for Qin Mo and Guo Zhenyu was genuine.

After all, rabies was not something to take lightly. One wrong choice would cost them their lives.

Life was just that fragile.

Besides Qin Mo and Guo Zhenyu, four Camera Operators had also been wounded by the stray cats.

As such, they were all sent off to the hospital for a comprehensive health check and rabies shots.

Fortunately, none of them suffered any bites; only scratches.

Bites were much more serious since the wounds would be deeper, allowing stray cats to inject their bacteria into the body, increasing the risk of infection.

"There’s been a change of plans. Both teams will be disbanded and remade," Director Chen stated.

"You can freely choose your own teammates. I don’t care if you make many teams or form a single big team, but no one is allowed to go solo."

"Your new task is to investigate Qingshan Warehouse No.13 and the surrounding area for the hidden laboratory. You only need to confirm its location and report back; do not enter if you happen to find it. Understood?"

"Understood!" Lin Haoren and the other guests answered simultaneously.

"How should we form our new teams?" Jiang Ruolan asked the group with a graceful smile.

"I don’t care who’s in my team as long as I’m with Oreo. He is my little hero. I feel so safe with Oreo around," Wei Xinya expressed her stance clearly.

She wouldn’t be on any other team if there was no Oreo.

Xu Kaichen and Lu Chengxi sang the same tune, agreeing with Wei Xinya. Having Oreo around truly gave them peace of mind.

It was ridiculous that a tuxedo cat could give such a sense of security, but it was true.

"I want to be on Oreo’s team too," He Yuxin stated.

She didn’t get the chance to see Oreo fight off the strays with Taijiquan firsthand, so she was curious.

"I’m also interested," Jiang Ruolan added.

Lin Haoren looked dazed for a moment, seeing where the situation was heading.

If the guests formed one big team, would it still be possible for him to complete his Side Quest?

After all, they lost 4 camera hands. With the remaining available camera hands, they might just merge some livestreaming channels.

If the viewers converge on a single livestream channel, there would be no comparison to calculate his reward.

On the other hand, even if he could go solo, he couldn’t possibly compete with the collective live viewers of the rest of the guests, could he?

That would be far too difficult!

"I don’t want my team to be too big, so I won’t be joining. Anyone interested in teaming up with me?" Lin Haoren asked.

Although he had asked politely, only Fang Ning had not chosen a team.

This put her in a tough spot.

If she chose Oreo’s team, Lin Haoren would be forced into the team as well. As such, he might even resent her for that.

She didn’t want that.

"Then, I’ll join Brother Lin’s team," Fang Ning forced a smile.

"Sister Fang, you don’t need to consider my feelings. If you want to be with the others, just say so. Otherwise, I’m afraid your fans will drown me in insults for forcing you to choose my team," Lin Haoren joked with a wry smile.

Fang Ning immediately flashed him a dirty look that almost seemed somewhat flirtatious.

"You’re afraid?" Fang Ning’s mouth curved into a smile before mentioning, "You didn’t seem afraid when you were waging a war of words with Sister Jiang’s fans."

"You had such impressive firepower too. I’m actually a little curious how you intend to respond if my fans also pick a fight with you, Brother Lin."

Fang Ning laughed when she recalled Lin Haoren’s barbed speech.

It was so fascinating to watch.

Meanwhile, Fang Ning’s fans began expressing their stances in the comments.

[I solemnly swear that I will not partake in any fight with Scholar Lin. I’m sorry, Sister Fang. I can only wrong you.]

[On behalf of Sister Fang’s fans, I won’t be joining as well. Good luck to the brothers and sisters who are willing!]

[Hahahaha... Even Sister Fang’s fans aren’t willing to pick a fight with Scholar Lin.]
