I’ve Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show

Chapter 84: Chapter 81: Four People Couldn’t Guard Against One Chen Xixi! Chapter 84: Chapter 81: Four People Couldn’t Guard Against One Chen Xixi! “I was really too sleepy last night and fell asleep. Didn’t Zheng He and the rest not sleep all night? How could the Gold Coin still get lost?”
“Could it be that Chen Xixi stole it? All four of them couldn’t guard against Chen Xixi?”
“I also wanted to stay up last night to help Zheng He watch over the Gold Coin, but I was just too sleepy. What on earth happened? Can any sisters who stayed up until the end spoil it a bit?”
“After the whole night of painstakingly guarding against Chen Xixi, all Chen Xixi needed was one minute to hop a wall and she was done, haha!”
“It feels like their all-night vigilance was just a joke, haha!”
An hour ago.
After a sleepless night, the four of them, including Zheng He, were visibly worn and weary.
Wan Chen slapped his own cheeks, forcing himself to stay awake: “This won’t do.”
If Chen Xixi didn’t come, they’d exhaust themselves to death first; and in their current half-dead state, they’d be powerless even if Chen Xixi did show up.
Zheng He, who had been highly tense all night, felt his brain nerves throbbing with a dull pain, his voice hoarse: “Then what should we do!”
Everyone was silent for a moment.
With no sleep, their brains were almost shutting down, unable to run and figure out a good solution.
Suddenly, Zheng He sat up straight, his palm slamming onto the armrest of the sofa, a stroke of inspiration: “I’ve got a great idea!”
Wan Chen: “What is it?”
Zheng He was about to speak, but as his gaze swept over Jin Cheng, he abruptly changed tack: “Jin Cheng, you go out and keep watch for us!”
Yesterday, Jin Cheng’s protective behavior was not very active, and he was worried that Jin Cheng might have ulterior motives.
And with Chen Xixi being cunning, who knew if Jin Cheng had already been secretly bribed by Chen Xixi?
Jin Cheng crossed his legs, yawned leisurely, “Why should I be the one to go?”
He had already said ‘666’ (awesome) all night and had roughly calculated that not only had he cleared the program team’s debts, but he should even be wealthier than Zheng He and the others by now, so even if he stopped now, losing a few bucks didn’t matter to him.
“If you don’t go out, then we will!” Zheng He stood up and dragged Wan Chen and Han Qianyi to the door.
The two-story house’s backyard had a small vegetable garden.
Zheng He squatted down and gestured for Wan Chen and Han Qianyi to do the same. Glancing left and right to make sure Jin Cheng wasn’t following, he quietly began:
“If Chen Xixi wants to snatch the Gold Coin, then naturally her target would be on me. But what if the Gold Coin isn’t on me? I’ll hide the Gold Coin, hide it where she can’t find it! Then she would have no way to deal with me! We wouldn’t need to live in fear anymore!”
Wan Chen felt like Zheng He’s IQ had suddenly shot up, he nodded in agreement: “Good idea.”
Han Qianyi looked at the soil in front of her, frowning slightly: “But… is it too hasty just to hide it here? Should we at least hide it a bit further away?”
Zheng He looked around. He broke off two twigs from a nearby jujube tree, handed one to Wan Chen, kept one for himself, then squatted down again and started digging: “We’re not familiar with this place, and if we hide it too far, we might not be able to find it ourselves! What if it gets dug up by villagers if we hid it on other people’s land?”
Feeling like the hole was deep enough, Zheng He took out the Gold Coin from his pocket and continued: “Moreover, this house is so huge, and the Gold Coin is just so small. Even if she wants to find it, it won’t be easy!”
Very logical.
The hole was dug, the Gold Coin buried, mission accomplished!
Zheng He’s eyebrows relaxed, feeling the pressure on him lighten considerably. His lips curled into a cunning smile: “Now Chen Xixi definitely won’t find it!”
However…
On the other side.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xixi got ready and left her house. She returned her own cell phone to the production team, then took out the cell phone provided by the team to enter Zheng He’s live stream.
Unbeknownst to Zheng He and the others, their entire process of plotting and digging the hole had all been clearly witnessed by Chen Xixi.
They thought their phones were out of battery, so naturally Chen Xixi’s phone would be shut down too, and Han Qianyi also knew Chen Xixi hadn’t paid the electricity bill, so it never occurred to them that Chen Xixi would see the live broadcast.
Chen Xixi openly watched them hide the Gold Coins, and once they all returned inside, she immediately started looking for Zheng He’s residence.
She had seen the unique and luxurious décor of Zheng He’s place during the live broadcast, so such a distinctive house was easy to find in the village.
In about three minutes or so, she leaned her back against the stone pillar of the backyard gate, stealing a glance at the two-story building in front of her.
Zheng He’s living conditions were really quite good.
She shifted her body, waited for the right moment, stepped on a mound of dirt nearby, and easily climbed up the wall, followed by an agile leap from the top.
She crouched down and sneaked around looking for the spot where Zheng He dug the hole.
The traces of the disturbed soil were easy to spot, but Zheng He and his crew were smart as well.
They had planted wildflowers and weeds by the roadside outside the yard right over that spot.
To anyone, it looked just like naturally growing wildflowers and weeds, without any sense of awkwardness.
Thanks to these wildflowers and weeds, Chen Xixi who had just watched the live broadcast, immediately pinpointed the location.
From Chen Xixi’s point of view, it seemed as though Zheng He and the others were afraid Chen Xixi couldn’t find it, like they had made a mark especially for her, the scene was incredibly comical.
Chen Xixi pulled out the wildflowers and weeds and successfully dug out the Gold Coins. Then she patted the dust off the coins and tucked them into her pocket before heading back the way she came.
Who would have thought?
It was all so effortless!
[Hahaha! Zheng He and his crew really just buried a loneliness hahaha!]
[To speak fairly, Zheng He’s method was quite clever, very good indeed. It’s just that Chen Xixi is so smart, they simply couldn’t stump her!]
[Hahaha, from my God’s point of view, I really think Zheng He and them are like clowns hahaha!]
[I just want to know what Zheng He and them will feel when they rewatch this scene after the show ends? They’re probably going to go insane hahaha!]
[Broadcasting a secret plan live, letting the opponent watch the whole process, I’m seeing this for the first time, I’m really about to die of laughter because of Zheng He and his crew!!]
In the two-story building, Jin Cheng and the others were too tired to stay awake, so Zheng He let them go back to sleep.
But lying in bed trying to catch up on sleep, Zheng He couldn’t shake a persistent feeling of unease, closing his eyes only to feel an ominous premonition.
In order to put his mind at ease for sleep, he eventually decided to go downstairs and check around again.
And then… when he saw the wildflowers and weeds lying on the ground, along with the empty hole, he totally lost his defenses!!
Zheng He howled to the sky, his wail echoing to the heavens: “Ah!! My Gold Coins are gone!!”
Immediately Zheng He rushed out, heading towards Chen Xixi’s family home in a flurry.
“Chen Xixi, come out! I know you’re at home! Come out! Did you steal my Gold Coins?” Zheng He had just entered through the gate when he began to shout.
Hearing the noise, Chen Xixi walked out from the house leisurely, stretching with a just-woke-up look. After hearing Zheng He’s words clearly, she feigned surprise and casually waved her elegant hands, asking, “What? Your Gold Coins were stolen? How did they go missing?”
Looking at Chen Xixi’s oblivious demeanor, Zheng He furrowed his brows, “It wasn’t you?”
Chen Xixi responded with a blank face, “What ‘me’? I just woke up.”
Chen Xixi was wearing pajamas, her thick black hair messily draped behind her shoulders, her eyelids drooping lazily; she obviously had just been woken up by the noise.
Zheng He immediately started to fall into self-doubt as he replayed the events in his mind.
From when he buried the Gold Coins to the time they were dug up, it was only a short hour. Who could steal the coins in such a brief time frame?
Seeing him silent, Chen Xixi waved her elegant hand again, and with a concerned expression, she offered, “Really, they’re gone? How did you lose them? Do you want my help to look for them?”
[Hahaha, typical Chen Xixi, playing the thief shouting ‘Stop thief!’ really has a knack for it!]
