CHAPTER 319: CHAPTER 319: MIAOMIAO: PLEASE BEGIN MY PERFORMANCE

Gu Peihai was originally leisurely being a pretty face, occasionally glancing at the camera and the livestream room. When he noticed the change in topic, he immediately sat up straight.

He had just returned to the country and wasn’t clear on what program his sister recently joined.

But regardless of the situation, these people clearly weren’t coming with good intentions.

He had asked his sister for help, not to let her face these irresponsible online insults.

Just as Gu Peihai was about to speak, a small hand reached over and covered his mouth.

That small hand had just grabbed the skewers, now emitting a barbecue smell.

"Brother Pei Hai, you’re not well, don’t speak,"

Tuanzi, who stood up, had a mischievous glint in her eyes, "I’m a little assistant, you see, and now is the time for the assistant to step in."

Stopping her cousin, Tuanzi sat back down, eating while watching the livestream room, noticing similar comments increasing, she tilted her head and cutely asked, "Are you guys internet trolls? Why are your comments so similar?"

[Not everything is a troll army, I’m just a passerby offering reasonable doubts]

[Yeah, your avoidance only shows you have a guilty conscience]

[Let’s boycott "Mountain Patrol Journey" together]

[Gu Miaomiao, give us an answer!]

Similar comments flooded the screen.

Fans of Gu Peihai, fans of Tuanzi, and some genuine passersby’s messages were all buried under these comments.

They too were battle-hardened and quickly realized that someone had organized an attack on Gu Miaomiao’s livestream room. The kid is only five years old, are these people insane?

So some started recording the screen, while others directly took to social media to condemn such actions.

Tuanzi was just about to speak when her phone was taken away.

"Don’t take it away, Miaomiao still needs to respond."

Tuanzi quickly snatched her phone back.

It had been three days since the first episode aired and people were still asking about it, suggesting Director Chen hadn’t handled Chen Wen’s issue properly.

She thought that the program was great and didn’t want it to be canceled.

As a part of the show, she figured it was okay to answer the questions she wanted to answer.

The system thought about it and didn’t stop her. The host is quite clever and wouldn’t fall for it. Plus, some questions the host wouldn’t even comprehend; did these people forget she was only five?

How much do you expect a five-year-old to understand?

Tuanzi looked at the camera, "Oh, the Chen Wen you’re talking about, is she the sister who was always resting? Miaomiao knows she went down the mountain suddenly on the third day. After that, Miaomiao hasn’t seen her, doesn’t know if she’s injured, how she got injured, or how severe the injuries are. Could you tell me?"

[Haven’t you seen the photos she posted? Her face is disfigured, and she has a broken foot in a cast]

Tuanzi looked shocked, "Did she get into a fight? Don’t fight, she’s always resting, she doesn’t look healthy and won’t win in a fight."

Chen Wen’s fans and the trolls didn’t know what to say, giving other netizens a chance to comment.

[It wasn’t a fight, she scared herself. Also, who said she’s disfigured and has a broken foot, just posting suggestive photos]

The internet trolls and netizens started arguing. One side claimed her injuries were severe based on the photos, the other said the live broadcast didn’t show any serious injuries.

Tuanzi watched them argue, holding her little face. When they had argued enough, she innocently asked, "What’s the actual injury? Just show her medical records. Why argue over something so simple?"

[That’s her privacy, why should she show it to everyone]

[We should respect the artist’s privacy]

Tuanzi came to a realization, "Oh, so you don’t have any evidence that she’s seriously injured, right? You’re drawing conclusions from photos, but I can appear like that, too."

In front of the netizens, she found a white cloth to wrap around her face, picked up two branches in the yard and tied one to her leg, then lay half-reclined on the sofa, looking weak.

"Brother Pei Hai, I’m so hungry, and so severely injured, can you feed me?"

Gu Peihai tried to hold back his laughter as he fed her, and checking the comments, half the people were laughing hysterically, praising Tuanzi’s acting, while the other half were furious, believing Tuanzi was slandering Chen Wen for pretending to be seriously injured.

"Don’t scold me," Tuanzi said while enjoying being fed, dramatically pretending to be injured, "I’m seriously hurt. If you scold me, you’re heartless, just like you accused me of being heartless earlier."

Gu Peihai’s shoulders shook with laughter. He picked up his phone, letting Tuanzi see the livestream room.

People were questioning her for not showing a medical document, saying the act was easily exposed.

Tuanzi innocently blinked, "But Sister Chen Wen didn’t show one either."

After all, if she did, everyone would see she wasn’t that injured but was deliberately implying and guiding people to attack the program.

And for it to progress this far, Chen Wen would never produce a medical record.

Over time, people will definitely start doubting her.

She wants the attention but also wants sympathy, stepping on other artists to ascend while ensuring the show doesn’t actually get canceled. Chen Wen did all this to privately agree with the show to let her ride the hype in future episodes.

That is the conclusion Gu Peihai came to after learning the whole story from the livestream.

"Being entangled with someone like her, your show is also quite unfortunate."

Gu Peihai had seen similar tricks before.

"Actually, three parties knew the medical results at the time: the doctor, Chen Wen’s side, and the program’s dispatched staff. The doctor couldn’t come forward without being accused of breaching patient privacy. Chen Wen wouldn’t reveal it as she initially wanted to guide the netizens, and now she couldn’t speak to avoid backlash. As for the program team, even if they spoke out, people would say they were lying."

In this situation, the program team holds some responsibility as the guest was injured. But the greatest responsibility lies with Chen Wen.

The security personnel had protected her, yet she pushed them away and rolled down.

With this maneuver, she successfully shifted the blame onto the program team.

Tuanzi shook her head, holding her face wrapped like a watermelon.

"That person is really annoying."

Not contributing on the show but causing trouble outside of it, I really don’t know why the program invited her.

"She was invited by a certain forestry bureau," Director Chen explained over a call to express his gratitude, revealing her doubts, "You might not have noticed, but Chen Wen is the tourism ambassador for the city where the third station is located. When filming the promotional video, she cooperated without causing a fuss, so the tourism bureau recommended her to the forestry bureau, who then invited her."

Of course, the person in charge of the city’s forestry bureau regretted it now.

Gu Peihai sat next to her and huffed, "Tourism videos are easy to shoot and relaxing. Mountain patrol isn’t easy."
