The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 194

Qin Wei was wearing a nice dress at the banquet, socializing with guests. She inadvertently looked up and saw that Qiao Journalist was still wearing business attire.

"Qiao Journalist looks good, she should have worn an evening gown today," said Qin Wei as she pulled her to the backyard.

"I just bought this set, I'll give it to you to wear, it will definitely look good on you."

Qiao Journalist did not refuse and followed her into the mansion, asking her along the way:

"How did things go this morning?"

Qin Wei looked back at her and said:

"I don't care at all about the birthday gift from my boyfriend."

By the time they entered her room, Qin Wei opened the wardrobe and rummaged through it, taking out a nice evening gown for her to change into.

...

The banquet was filled with singing and laughter. Although there were many opportunities, Qiao Journalist chose to give up every time, until the end of the evening banquet, which also meant the end of her mission.

And Qin Wei could take the delivery note to give to her father, and continue staying there.

As everyone left, Qiao thought and sighed. Fortunately, it was just a game. If given the script, she could follow it step-by-step. But when it came to later parts that were all open-ended, where to go and what the plot would be was all up to the participants.

The only requirement was to complete the mission.

Qin Wei had already left. Once she entered, Qiao would be eliminated.

"Qiao Journalist."

Just as she was about to leave, she was called back.

She turned around. Qin Wei had already changed into different clothes, holding the set she gave Qiao earlier.

At this moment in the banquet hall, there were only the two of them left.

Qiao was a little puzzled. She saw Qin Wei walk up to her and say:

"The goods you want are at Shangyang Pier. Let's go there now."

Qiao replied:

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

"This morning at the bank entrance, when I said 'he', you were not curious at all about who he was. As a journalist who wanted to interview me, you paid too little attention to my emotional life. I knew then that you knew him. At the banquet, you kept secretly asking me about the delivery note. I knew then that you were the mole."

Qin Wei told the truth. Then she pushed her out of the banquet hall toward the car at the door.

Qiao did not admit it, but asked her instead:

"Are you going to identify me?"

"No."

As they spoke, the two had already gotten into the car. Qiao then realized that the one driving was Li Hanming, and the one in the passenger seat was Wei Lai.

"We all know who you are, but won't identify you. When we realized this was an open-ended game that we could mess around with however we wanted, we didn't want to follow the intended storyline anymore."

While Li Hanming said this to Qiao Journalist, he started the car and drove toward the pier.

Of course, they couldn’t avoid a chase along the way. Although they did their best, the result was still that they got caught in the end.

The other group had greater numbers and surrounded them, forcing them to stop the car and get out at gunpoint.

The car door opened and only Qin Wei got out.

"Ms. Qin?"

Wasn't this the daughter of the Qin deputy director’s family?

Everyone looked at each other in dismay. There was no one else in the car. To be precise, after they finished talking, Qin Wei drove the car away herself while the other three ran off together.

"It's me, I was the mole."

Said Qin Wei.

No one knew what to do. The storyline was no longer what they were familiar with.

"You'll have to come with us."

Qin Wei shrugged:

"I'm afraid it's too late."

"That's not for you to decide."

At the same time, an announcement came:

[Qin Wei was identified as the mole Qin Wei. Eliminated. Identification was incorrect. Game continues.]

That meant the three who were not there had identified Qin Wei as the mole.

...

"Messing around," said the director who took medicine and started watching the playback from earlier:

Sitting in the car, Qin Wei handed the delivery note to Qiao Journalist, then said to her:

"I've seen so many Republic of China stories, and none of the love stories had happy endings. I guess my Doctor Xu will most likely face more bad luck than good. Given my identity, a good ending with him is destined to be out of the question."

"Take the road ahead in my place, remember that right now is the Age of Iron. Once you get through it, go see the coming of the Golden Age for me."

Not giving Qiao Journalist a chance to refute, Li Hanming and Wei Lai suddenly got out of the car and pulled Qiao out of the car as well.

The director thought it made sense. After all, it had just started, and open-ended storylines should allow the participants to perform as they like. It didn’t really affect subsequent storylines no matter who stayed or left.

They still had a bunch of contingency plans for the show.

But why was Qin Wei in such a hurry to leave?

Was there a reason?

Comments:

【??Was my sister blowing herself up? To protect Qiao Journalist?】

【Does this count as true love?】

【No, it’s just that the storyline set by the program team does not conform to sister Lu E’s values, she would rather sacrifice herself to choose the right path】

【Not mingling with bad people, my sister made the right choice】

【But she could also be turned, to join Qiao’s team! I’ve seen a lot of spy war dramas recently that go like this】

【I also read spoilers, seems like it's because she got wind that someone was coming...】

After switching cars and taking a detour, it was midnight when they arrived at the pier. According to the address provided above, Qiao Journalist found an ordinary fishing boat.

A man wearing a conical hat was sitting by the fishing boat.

"Fisherman, I ordered a boat full of green tangerines from you five years ago. Has it arrived?"

Qiao Journalist asked.

The disjointed question was actually a coded phrase.

"No tangerines, but plenty of rotten seafood to sell at high prices. Do you want any?"

The reply came from a man with a low and attractive voice.

"I want crab, as much as you've got."

Qiao Journalist matched the code phrases, now certain that the man was the contact person.

The man took off his conical hat.

It was actually Shen Kai!

Qiao Journalist instantly understood why she had fled. She must have heard something from chatting with the staff yesterday after returning to the hotel.

Seeing that the person who came was not Qin Wei, Shen Kai also realized that she had gotten wind of his arrival.

"Qiao Journalist, nice to meet you. I'm Xu Hongen," Shen Kai quickly adjusted.

"Even if the person coming to meet wasn't who I expected, our mission must still go on..."

Qiao Journalist did not deny this. She lightly shook his outstretched hand:

"The game continues, and I will not lose. I still have to go see the Golden Age that she told me about."

...

Tonight was the last night staying at the hotel. After Qin Wei returned, she packed up her luggage, ready to leave tomorrow morning.

Not long after she came back, so did Wei Lai, who similarly packed up her luggage.

Qin Wei glanced at her:

"Out?"

"Dead," Wei Lai corrected her.

"For you to say to a student who’s still studying that she's 'out', that's very ominous."

Life and death issues were small matters, but failing a class was absolutely out of the question!

The two were silent for a while, then went back to minding their own business.

In the end, Wei Lai couldn't help but ask:

"Weiwei, can I ask you something...you were in such a hurry to leave, was it because of... Shen Kai?"

"Huh?"

Qin Wei had a puzzled look.

"What does he have to do with it? I just acted according to my own ideas.

So... Shen Kai came too, huh?"

Wei Lai had an expression as if she had spoken out of turn. She didn’t dare say another word.

That meant her leaving was the right move.

Qin Wei was even more certain of her decision.
