Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 538: I’m Not Taking the Fall for This

Chapter 538: Chapter 538: I’m Not Taking the Fall for This

"Look quickly," the elderly lady reminded, "Xiao Fei seems to really be suspicious."

Because with the simulated jungle set up on site, the contestants stood inside, and only the spectators sitting at the very top of the stands could barely see anything.

The rest of the audience couldn’t see at all.

Moreover, even those at the top of the stands were simply too high and too far away.

What they saw were little figures, hard to distinguish who was who, let alone see clearly.

Therefore, even the audience on-site had to look through the big screens to see clearly.

The big screen showed a close-up of Ye Fei’s face.

Ye Fei observed her surroundings and said, "Don’t you think it’s weird? Our journey seemed to take a long time, but in reality, we have no idea which route we actually took."

"Because the car windows were covered by curtains, and we were wearing blindfolds," Ye Fei said. "What reason could make the race organizers so afraid of us seeing outside? It’s not like we were kidnapped and they don’t want us recognizing the road."

"Even if it’s a wilderness competition, it doesn’t matter to look at the road, right? It doesn’t clash with where we compete," Ye Fei said.

"Moreover, later on, everyone fell asleep, and the bus was very quiet. I heard very noisy sounds outside. It was the sound of cars constantly passing by on the road sides, and the honking of cars," Ye Fei said.

In the stands, Lu Chenghong and other senior officials from the competition side coughed as they choked on their own saliva.

"Cough! Cough, cough!" Lu Chenghong coughed violently from the choking and turned to look at the planning chief of the event.

The planning chief: "..."

"Don’t look at me, I’m not taking the blame for this," Manager Zhu, the planning chief, hurriedly said, "Didn’t notice that no one else figured it out? Only Ye Fei figured it out, which means it’s not a problem with my planning, it’s Ye Fei’s problem."

"Who are you calling your old man!" Lu Chenghong said angrily, since he was his boss after all!

Was this Manager Zhu trying to rebel!

Manager Zhu: "..."

"Mistake, mistake," wasn’t this because they’re in charge of creativity?

They usually rack their brains trying to think of innovations, creative ideas, and plans.

And then they’d still have their plans thrown back by this Lu Chenghong in front of them.

Saying it’s either not attractive enough or costs too much.

Makes Manager Zhu want to slap the plan in Lu Chenghong’s face.

Manager Zhu’s middle-aged thinning hair is because of professional reasons.

Always staying up late thinking about planning, tirelessly planning, and as a result, he really has thought his hair off.

Moreover, work was hard, making him more irritable by the day.

In departmental meetings, he’s gotten used to saying ’old man’ every other sentence.

Unexpectedly, in front of Lu Chenghong, he accidentally let it slip without noticing.

Lu Chenghong gave a dry laugh that wasn’t friendly at all, then threw a pot at Manager Zhu: "You’re saying Ye Fei has a problem?"

Lu Chenghong’s voice wasn’t loud but was enough for the Zhao Family to hear.

The Zhao Family all turned their heads over in unison.

There sat the old man, old lady, Xiao Mo, Zhao Dinghuan, Chi Jingsi, and Zhao Gushen.

Everyone’s head turned in perfect sync.

Though different in size, their gazes were equally sharp.

Manager Zhu shivered, cursing Lu Chenghong for having no conscience!

"No! I meant to say Ye Fei is too smart!" Manager Zhu quickly said, "Nobody else thought of it, how did Ye Fei think of it as soon as she got off the bus? How am I supposed to continue in my career after this?"

"I anticipated that contestants would figure it out, but not that Ye Fei would figure it out so early! The competition hasn’t even officially started!" Manager Zhu said, frustrated and helpless, "Ye Fei is too smart, can this planning work continue smoothly? If we plan another, and she cracks it again."

"It’s not your fault," Zhao Gushen finally spoke, "You’re right, the others didn’t figure it out, only our Xiao Fei did. This shows it’s not a problem with your planning. Since others didn’t see it, it means your planning is flawless."

"It’s mainly because our Xiao Fei is too excellent, too smart, too outstanding. Her excellence and intelligence are far above others," Zhao Gushen said.

Manager Zhu: "..."

Praising her so much it made his teeth ache.

"Actually, fundamentally speaking, even your IQ can’t compare to hers," Zhao Gushen added.

Manager Zhu: "..."

Alright then, as long as they don’t blame his bad planning, or think it’s his work mistake, they can say whatever else they want about him.

What’s a little disdain towards his intelligence?

In front of the future Mrs. CEO, being looked down on for intelligence is nothing!

"You’re right, CEO!" Manager Zhu let out a sigh, "Now I’m relieved."

At this time, the big screen showed Ye Fei saying, "If our bus was truly heading for the wild, initially departing from downtown, it’s normal to hear these noises on the way."

"But as we get closer to the wild later on, the roads should become quieter, and there should be fewer cars," Ye Fei said, "Yet even then, I still heard noisy sounds outside the bus. I even heard noises from an event outside a mall, with an emcee holding a microphone to hype the atmosphere."

"You heard all this?" Zhou Junhao was so shocked his eyes went wide.

"You were all asleep then, maybe you didn’t hear it," Ye Fei said, "Because I thought it was a bit odd and didn’t quite match what Teacher An said, I paid extra attention."

"I didn’t immediately tell you all because I wasn’t quite sure yet, just felt it was strange. I planned to check after reaching the destination," Ye Fei explained.

"If it really was in the wild, then all my previous suspicions were just me being paranoid," Ye Fei said, "But looking at this environment now, I’m even more suspicious."

"Thinking about the previous route, from start to end, the surrounding noise didn’t stop, and as we passed by that mall event, I vaguely heard the mall’s name, which is Wei Feng Shopping Center, not far from the stadium," Ye Fei said.

She counted on her fingers, "I remember clearly, I heard the mall event’s emcee voice twice. Not consecutively."

"Because my eyes were closed, I couldn’t accurately judge the time gap between the two times. In my own judgment, the time wasn’t short," Ye Fei said, "So, I suspect the bus was driving us in circles in the downtown. Might’ve stopped several times, perhaps due to traffic jams."

Ye Fei’s analysis left the audience on-site, and those watching the live stream online, dumbfounded.

"Just because of these clues, Ye Fei deduced so much?" A member of the audience said to a friend.
