Chapter 587: Was Trapped and Quarreling

This was a very remote area. Usually, there would only be a few cars on the road. Yesterday, the road had still been fine. Why were there suddenly so many things on it today?

It was obvious that these things had deliberately been left here. The metal frame was very heavy. Shi Mo tried to lift it, but he realized that he could only move it slightly, even with all his strength.

The two of them waited by the side of the road for a while to watch for the program team that would be coming after them. It looked like they were probably sheltering from the rain in the hospital.

Since there was no way they could leave this place within this short period of time, Shi Mo and Fang Mo’er decided to return to the car. Actually, it would not be impossible for them to continue to wait for help here after the rain stopped. It was just that the cameraman had suffered a heavy fall and had been unconscious, so they were not sure how his body was doing.

However, there was no way they could hurry anything anyway.

“Oh right, didn’t you say that you were going to be busy with business discussions? Why did you suddenly come over to film the show?” Fang Mo’er asked Shi Mo.

Shi Mo replied, “Shi Yu was forced by his mother to learn how to manage the company. I happened to have a few projects that aren’t too difficult to handle which he said that he could try to resolve. I left Assistant Yu there to help him, then I came over to look for you.”

Fang Mo’er smiled and said, “It’s rare for him to suddenly have such motivation and know just how to get down to business.”

Shi Mo nodded. “His mother was too strong this time and did not allow any chance to escape.”

Shi Mo and Fang Mo’er were still calm, but some of the others were getting more and more anxious.

“What should we do? Do we have to wait here the whole time? It’s getting dark soon, so it should be fine if we could spend the night in the hospital. After all, the hospital has cameras and is still constantly being monitored. It won’t be dangerous there. What if something happens while we’re out here in the wilderness?”

Zhou Die was scared and was whispering her questions in a panic.

Bai Rong was also panicking. Discontentedly, she questioned the driver, “How does your program team even work? You can’t even guarantee the safety of the guests. Do you know what kind of people we are? Can you afford to compensate if something happens to us?”

As the driver was being scolded by Bai Rong, he had to stop himself from flaring up even though he was angry.

All he could do was to hold his temper and apologize. “I’m sorry, Miss Bai. Actually, the program team came here to check out the site. This road is not used by many people, and there aren’t many people living nearby. Moreover, the surrounding area is wide, so there shouldn’t be any accidents. Yesterday, when we came, the road was still normal. Who knows why a roadblock had suddenly been placed in the middle of the road without any warning? Adding to that is this sudden rainstorm, which has caused us to temporarily be trapped here.”

He took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff before continuing, “But please don’t worry, we won’t be trapped for too long. There will be another car coming. When they come, then we can leave.”

Bai Rong was still unhappy when she saw that the driver still seemed to be quite cheerful. Since the cameraman was currently still unconscious and no one would be filming her, she stopped caring about her image and continued to say, “Who knows when the rain will stop? Doesn’t your program team know to check the weather forecast ahead of time? When will the people behind us come? What if it rains the whole night? Would we then have to spend the night in this godforsaken place too?”

“The weather forecast said that it would only be cloudy today. It didn’t say that there would be a rainstorm. Besides, Miss Bai, I’m just a driver, not a director. Please don’t vent your anger on me. If you have any other grievances, please look for the director once this is over.” The driver took a puff of his cigarette, his expression becoming more and more impatient.

Bai Rong was also particularly irritated. She did not notice the expression on the driver’s face and continued to pester him, “Aren’t you also a crew member?”

“Do the cooks working in a school cafeteria also know how to teach?” The driver glared at her with a hint of viciousness in his eyes.

Fang Mo’er saw that something was amiss and quickly stepped in to stop them, “Hey, is there any point in talking this much? If you have the energy, you might as well think about how to save yourself.”

The anxiousness in the atmosphere began to increase when Brother Fatty decided to step in again.

He glanced at Shi Mo and turned around to spit somewhere else, he grumbled, “How unlucky. Ever since a certain someone suddenly joined the film shoot, strange things have been happening nonstop. When he wasn’t here, everything had gone smoothly for us. Could it be that someone has deliberately directed and planned for this to happen in order to become famous?”

Although he did not mention Shi Mo’s name, everyone knew who he was talking about.

Among all these people, only Shi Mo had suddenly joined the group. The production team had not even informed them. No matter how mysterious the show was, according to the rules, they were supposed to tell them who would be participating in the show.

Fang Mo’er stared at Brother Fatty in shock, before asking in disbelief, “No way, Brother Fatty. I didn’t expect you to still believe in such things. Then, how was it that you dared to participate in this haunted house challenge? Most superstitious people would have either wet their pants or fainted from fear if they came to such a place. You must be really brave to have not been that scared.”

Fang Mo’er had only been sarcastic to help come to Shi Mo’s defense, but she had not expected to have hit the nail on the head.
