The next day, Xu Gui's live stream remained closed for a long time.
Viewers waited patiently in the dark, unlit room, the chat filled with a dense barrage of comments, creating an atmosphere even more lively than other live streams that were already live.
(Other streamers: We're not jealous, we're not jealous at all!!)
Viewers were also worried about Xu Gui's lack of a live stream:
[So, where did Xiao Gui go? It's so late, why hasn't she started streaming yet? Her live streams are my spiritual sustenance! Without her streams, how can I slack off?]
[Could it be because of last night? Although the company said Xu Gui is fine, given their habit of only reporting good news and not bad, maybe Xu Gui was actually injured yesterday?] [ That's why she didn't go live on time today.]
[No way, I saw someone else's video. When that old lady rushed over, Xiao Gui dodged in time. There was no footage
of her getting hurt.] [If she's okay and not injured, why hasn't she gone live yet? Her live stream is my go-to source of entertainment! Without her live stream, I can't even enjoy my meals.]
[There's nothing we can do about this. Just use Zhe Er Gen's edited videos for now.]
[I've practically worn out Zhe Er Gen's videos during the time Xiao Gui wasn't going live. I don't even know how many times I've watched them.]
...
The netizens' resentment was immense. The hashtag #XuGuiDidn'tGoLive# even trended on Weibo. The show's official account was also bombarded with inquiries from netizens.
Although Xu Gui's company and the show's team both said that Xu Gui was fine, just as everyone was speculating whether Xu Gui was actually injured in yesterday's incident, Xu Gui finally went live around 11 a.m.
However, after the excited fans rushed into the live stream, they were all a bit dumbfounded.
[?? Xiao Gui's background... it doesn't look like she's in City A?]
[Definitely not in City A! As someone from H Province, I can tell you, that's a landmark building in our H Province behind her. So, Xiao Gui came to our H Province?]
[So Xiao Gui didn't go live this morning because she went to H Province?]
*
That's right, Xu Gui is indeed in H Province now. She took a flight early this morning, slept for almost an hour on the plane, and just landed.
She's going live now just to let everyone know she's safe, so that even though the company and the production team have explained, fans won't still worry that she might have been injured because of yesterday's incident.
"Don't worry, I'm really not hurt..." To prove her sincerity, she even twirled in front of the camera, showing off her uninjured body.
"Besides, don't forget, I'm a fortune teller! I sensed them rushing towards me and dodged in time."
"Asking how I got to H Province..." Xu Gui smiled mysteriously when she mentioned this question. She said, "Well, that's a secret for now! Anyway, it's for important business. You'll find out the details in my future live streams."
The fans who heard this were like: ?! Oh no, their little turtle has changed! She's started talking in official jargon and keeping everyone in suspense! The little turtle used to be so open and talkative with them! The fans
: So, who corrupted their little turtle?
...
After reassuring the fans that she was safe, Xu Gui turned off the live stream.
The weather in H Province was hot. As soon as they came out of the airport, they were hit by the scorching sun. The sunlight was dazzling, and then they felt the heat.
Xu Gui loves water but hates the heat. Standing under the sun, he always feels like a salted fish about to be dried out.
Fortunately, the car that was picking them up was already waiting outside. As soon as they came out of the airport, the car picked them up and headed straight to their accommodation.
"Shall we go straight back to the Golden Summit?" Lu Baiyi asked, looking at Xu Gui. "I've already had the servants prepare all the rooms in the house. You can check in right away."
"That's too much trouble," Kuang Ming suddenly interjected, his tone polite. "We've already troubled Mr. Lu so much. We can't trouble you with anything else... Just have the driver drop us off at the XX Hotel. I've already booked rooms there."
Hearing this, Lu Baiyi said, "We've already gone to so much trouble. What's a little more? Besides, the Golden Summit is a quiet place with few people. Generally speaking, you won't be easily disturbed. Xu Gui is quite a celebrity now. Staying in a hotel might not be very convenient, right?"
He looked at Kuang Ming questioningly.
Kuang Ming's expression stiffened, but he had to admit that Lu Boyi was right. Xu Gui was now a true internet celebrity. As her reputation for being a fortune teller grew, the number of her followers was skyrocketing. In
her current situation, staying in a hotel was fine if her fans didn't notice, but if they did…
Before Kuang Ming could think further, Lu Boyi continued to list the advantages of staying at the Golden Summit: "…The Golden Summit residence also has a dedicated butler service. You can directly ask the butler for anything you need, which is very convenient. Moreover, staying at the Golden Summit means you can see the sunrise in the morning, which is very famous here."
"By the way, the chefs who will cook for us are all Michelin three-star chefs. They can cook both domestic and international cuisines. You can ask them to make whatever you want to eat anytime!"
Lu Boyi smiled.
Kuang Ming: "…"
He silently looked at Xu Gui and, sure enough, saw that her face had lit up, looking at him expectantly.
"..." Kuang Ming sighed, helplessly saying, "Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Lu."
Lu Baiyi's brows relaxed: "No trouble at all."
Hearing this, Kuang Ming couldn't help but sneer inwardly, thinking: Of course you don't find it troublesome; you probably just want Xu Gui to trouble you even more.
Thinking of the scene he witnessed last night after knocking on the door to no avail and entering Xu Gui's hotel room, Kuang Ming felt a burning rage.
To describe his feelings at that moment, it would be: his own cabbage had been eaten by a pig...
Although Lu Baiyi was a pig, he was a golden pig, but still the golden pig that had eaten his own cabbage.
Kuang Ming: Inhale.
He glanced at Xu Gui, who was excitedly leaning against the car window, looking at the scenery outside, and felt a little better.
Kuang Ming sneered.
Although this Mr. Lu was clearly "malicious," his Xu Gui, for the time being, hadn't developed that kind of brain yet. This Mr. Lu... would be a long road ahead.
Xu
Gui and Yuan Lu were quite familiar with the Golden Summit, after all, they had experienced some "minor accidents" there before. Thinking of this, Xu Gui couldn't help but ask Lu Baiyi:
"...How is the girl who was rescued earlier doing now?"
Lu Baiyi knew immediately who she was asking about and replied, "It's not bad. I heard she's fully recovered and was discharged from the hospital over a month ago. Jin Ding also compensated her handsomely."
Lu Baiyi knew this so well because it was related to Xu Guisuan, and also because it was a major incident for Jin Ding, which they took very seriously, even replacing all the security guards on the mountain.
"The doctors were worried she might suffer psychological trauma from that experience..."
Lu Baiyi explained the girl's situation in detail, "but unexpectedly, her recovery has been excellent. She hasn't been left with any psychological shadow from those ten days of ordeal, and her mental health is exceptionally good."
Hearing this, even the doctors at Jin Ding found it incredible, calling it a miracle.
By the way...
I heard that when the child was first rescued, she did exhibit some stress symptoms and was in a very poor mental state. The doctors determined that although she had been rescued, her heart was still trapped in that disaster, still suffering torment.
The doctor even said that if the child's psychological problems weren't treated in time, her mental world would eventually collapse.
Strangely, however, the girl's condition improved shortly afterward. Despite
having been plagued by nightmares and sleepless nights just days before, the trauma of being trapped under the Golden Summit for over ten days seemed to have vanished. Her
physical healing was rapid, and with no psychological issues, she recovered quickly and was discharged soon after.
This baffled the doctors, who could only marvel at it as a miracle, knowing that psychological illnesses are among the most difficult to treat.
Xu Gui listened silently, her expression revealing a hint of guilt.
After all, no one knew the girl's situation better than her.
"Let's just consider it a miracle..."
A little over an hour later, Xu Gui and her group arrived safely at the Golden Summit.
Lu Baiyi had already notified the Golden Summit property management yesterday, so everything was ready when they arrived, even the housekeeper was there.
Xu Gui was assigned to the room she had previously stayed in, the room with the best morning light, the perfect spot to watch the sunrise.
The others were assigned to other rooms.
Servants packed their luggage, so they were all settled in shortly and met up in the downstairs living room.
"...So, coming to H Province, you can earn the last twenty million?" Kuang Ming looked at Xu Gui and asked his question.
This was absurd; he had only been informed by Xu Gui of the trip to H Province last night, so the whole night had been chaotic.
Xu Gui hadn't given a specific reason, only saying that coming to H Province was the easiest way to earn the last twenty million.
Kuang Ming guessed, "Is there some super-rich person here who needs your help?"
The kind of super-rich person who would ask Xu Gui for twenty million just to do something?
Hearing this, Xu Gui gently waved her index finger, mysteriously denying, "No, no, no! There are no super-rich people here who need my help."
Kuang Ming: ?
"Then why did you come here?" he asked.
"However," Xu Gui smiled, "while there aren't any super-rich people here, there is a great treasure!"
The people sitting there were bewildered and shocked: a great treasure?
Xu Gui said smugly, "That's right, once we find the great treasure, a mere twenty million! It's no problem at all!"
Everyone: ?!
...
Later on,
the director, who had been informed of Xu Gui's plan by Yang Haolin: ? ? ?
Cheating!! This is cheating!!
The director jumped up and down.
