Chapter 40

Everyone was stunned by Yi Tiantian's stream of thoughts.

They never would have imagined that Wei Lily, who appeared so quiet and peaceful, could do something so heinous!

Hearing that she had almost become a slave in the Middle East, Ye Meng was filled with fear, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Ye Meng's expression had changed from confusion to terror, her once innocent features now twisted into a grotesque mask, devoid of any beauty!

Fei Cheng was even more shocked, realizing that what had happened was far worse than insurance fraud and murder!

This was human trafficking!

If caught, it meant certain death!

Using Yi Tiantian's thoughts, they might be able to uncover an entire human trafficking operation this time!

Fei Cheng's adrenaline surged as he felt the situation becoming increasingly intense.

The staff members were all sweating profusely, the atmosphere on set was tense and silent.

The audience watching through the live chat and the author Jian Dan didn't know exactly what had happened, but seeing the oppressive atmosphere, they sensed that Ye Meng's predicament was not as simple as it seemed.

At that moment, the door of the clothing store opened.

Everyone turned their gaze towards the entrance.

Sure enough, Tang Hu and Wei Lily walked in!

Wei Lily still wore her serene smile, as if she were just a passerby, completely unaware of the terrifying events that had just transpired.

"Wei Lily, please let me go. I don't want Jian Dan; I was just playing with him. I'm sorry, sorry, sorry..."

Ye Meng ran to Wei Lily, knelt down, and repeatedly banged her head against the floor, her once fair skin now broken and bleeding.

Tang Hu looked at Ye Meng in confusion, while Wei Lily's eyes finally showed a flicker of panic.

Because Wei Lily knew that her actions might have been discovered!

"Before this, Wei Lily had already contacted the resort manager Jiang Cheng, and they had booked flights for tonight!"

"They planned to leave the country directly and continue their human trafficking business in Southeast Asia!"

"In the end, Wei Lily and Jiang Cheng not only thrived in their human trafficking business but also took pleasure in torturing small animals, their behavior was truly abhorrent!"

Yi Tiantian's face darkened; this was the darkest revelation he had encountered yet!

Ye Meng banged her head harder upon hearing this, blood seeping from her forehead.

Tang Hu's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but look at Wei Lily beside her.

But Wei Lily's expression quickly returned to normal after a brief moment of disarray.

As if she hadn't heard Yi Tiantian's thoughts, she calmly asked, "Ye Meng, what are you doing? Get up from the floor!"

Knowing from Yi Tiantian that she would be safe, Wei Lily was now fearless.

Ye Meng refused to get up, crying, "I really don't like Jian Dan! I was just using him! Lily, please don't target me anymore! I'll give him back to you!"

Wei Lily's face was full of confusion. "Ye Meng, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

Jian Dan, not being part of the entertainment industry, couldn't hear Yi Tiantian's thoughts.

When he heard Ye Meng admit that she was just using him, he stumbled backward, feeling drained.

"Ye Meng, what do you mean?!"

Jian Dan's nose tingled, and tears threatened to fall.

But Ye Meng continued to kneel and bang her head, oblivious to his words.

Director Xiao Chen arrived and organized the guests to return to the hotel, where further discussions would take place.

The live stream was cut off at that moment.

The netizens, finally regaining their senses, realized they had just witnessed a monumental scandal unfold!

The chat messages flooded in like a tidal wave, causing the server to crash, leading to the entire live streaming app going down!

On the way back to the hotel, Yi Tiantian, Director Xiao Chen, and some staff members were in one car, while the other guests were in separate vehicles.

Back at the hotel, each guest harbored their own thoughts, eventually gathering in a lounge provided by the hotel with several key personnel.

Jian Dan wore a despondent expression, while Ye Meng trembled, her face still twisted in fear.

Tang Hu anxiously watched Wei Lily.

Wei Lily maintained her serene smile throughout, as if nothing around her mattered.

"Director, may I ask why we had to stop the program and hold this meeting?"

She asked calmly after sitting down.

Director Xiao Chen paused for a moment before answering seriously, "We suspect there is something fishy about this resort, so I cut the live stream. We need to discuss this here. Has anyone noticed anything strange happening? Apart from the Ye Meng incident, of course."

Ye Meng, her nerves taut, exclaimed loudly, "The shadow and door-closing incidents were part of an undercover task I did with the show's staff!"

Her voice trembled as she spoke, her mind still on edge.

Actually, even without Ye Meng saying it, everyone could guess, because her acting was far from convincing.

Fei Cheng racked his brain, remembering that although they had learned through Yi Tiantian's thoughts that Wei Lily was the mastermind behind everything, there seemed to be no concrete evidence to prove she was guilty!

Without evidence, there is no right to speak. Even if they called the police, Wei Lily would walk free due to the lack of crucial evidence...

Fei Cheng frowned deeply, realizing that the situation had once again reached a deadlock.

Clearly, Wei Lily knew the production team couldn't do anything about her, which was why she asked this question so boldly.

The serene and gentle smile on her face now carried a hint of mockery.

"I, I did it."

Just as the scene fell into silence, Tang Hu suddenly stood up.

She changed her shocked expression and spoke calmly.

"The incident with Ye Meng falling into the pit was arranged by me. I couldn't stand her flirting with men on the show, so I contacted the resort manager, Mr. Jiang Cheng, and deliberately led her into the clothing store where a trap had been set, just to teach her a lesson."

"Ah???"

The writer Jian Dan, who knew nothing about this, was particularly shocked and let out an involuntary exclamation.

Ye Meng and Fei Cheng also looked at Tang Hu, who had suddenly confessed.

They knew Yi Tiantian's thoughts could never be wrong!

In other words, Tang Hu was lying intentionally!

But why would she lie?!

While the other guests were stunned, Wei Lily showed no reaction.

She still wore that mocking smile, sitting gracefully.

"Tang Hu doesn't like men; she's a lesbian!"

"In these few days, Tang Hu has deeply fallen for this quiet girl—Wei Lily!"

"This is the first time she has been so captivated by someone, so she stepped forward to take the blame for Wei Lily!"

Yi Tiantian's thoughts suddenly echoed in everyone's ears, and all eyes turned to Tang Hu.

Tang Hu's eyes turned red, but she didn't retract her statement.

After hearing Yi Tiantian's thoughts, Wei Lily finally showed some agitation, looking at Tang Hu, who had stood up resolutely.

"Tang Hu, this isn't a joke! Don't say such nonsense!"

Director Xiao Chen's tone was unusually stern as he shouted.

Tang Hu replied firmly, "Everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, ask the resort manager, Mr. Jiang Cheng!"

At that moment, Wei Lily suddenly laughed out loud.

Everyone's gaze shifted back to Wei Lily.

Wei Lily stood up, walked to Tang Hu, and gently cupped her pale face, kissing her passionately.

Tang Hu stood frozen, allowing Wei Lily to control her.

"Wei Lily has a knife in her hand!"

Yi Tiantian's thoughts rang out again.

Fei Cheng quickly separated Wei Lily and Tang Hu, but it was too late.

Wei Lily's lips parted from Tang Hu's, and the blood-stained tip of the knife she held was withdrawn from Tang Hu's body...

The guests and staff were terrified, and Ye Meng screamed uncontrollably.

Someone tried to open the door to call for help, only to find it locked from the outside!

Watching Tang Hu slowly fall to the ground, Wei Lily licked the blood off the knife and began laughing maniacally.

"You're committing a crime!"

Fei Cheng couldn't help but shout sternly.

But Wei Lily was beyond reason. She stood on the table and announced, "You fools don't know yet, do you? Soon this room will fill with poison gas, and you will all die!"

Everyone panicked, crying and screaming, trying desperately to escape, but the heavy door wouldn't budge.

Amidst the chaos, a clear voice like flowing water suddenly broke through.

"No, we know."

Yi Tiantian stepped forward, facing Wei Lily.

Fei Cheng wanted to stop Yi Tiantian from moving closer, as Wei Lily still held the dripping bloody knife.

But Yi Tiantian turned and gave Fei Cheng a reassuring smile, indicating she was fine.

Fei Cheng took a deep breath and reluctantly gave up, standing silently beside Yi Tiantian to protect her.

Wei Lily still wore a disdainful expression: "Even if you know, what can you do? You're all going to die!"

Yi Tiantian smiled, walked to the door of the lounge, and effortlessly opened the previously immovable door.

The moment the door opened, the police outside immediately rushed in, surrounding Wei Lily, who was standing on the table!
