At this moment, no one had the slightest inkling of the gravity of the situation. The cameraman, shouldering his equipment, was dutifully filming the little girl’s every move.
Having experienced Jian Xiuhuan’s private conversation with the little girl, which nearly led him to quit the crew, the cameraman was practically glued to the girl’s side, daring not to let her leave his sight.
But now, could someone tell him what the little girl meant by what she just said?
In the director's van dozens of miles away, Hu Guangxu almost choked on his own saliva.
“How could she know?” Hu Guangxu’s gaze swept across everyone present.
His first thought was: Is there a mole?
While the uninformed staff on site were clueless, those in the know were as stunned as he was.
Hu Guangxu was so furious he nearly smashed his computer.
Why did it feel like nothing had gone smoothly since the program officially started?
“Investigate! All those who know, check them one by one. I refuse to believe we won’t find the person!”
He yanked at his sparse hair with force, his mind racing to figure out how to handle the emergency.
Jian Xiuhuan and Jian Sheng had signed contracts with the production team beforehand. After Jian Sheng went missing, the Jian family was so busy searching for her that no one had time to deal with the filming arrangements.
Jian Sheng's identity as the final guest had not been officially announced. The production team hadn't received any news from Jian Sheng and hadn't proactively suggested terminating the contract, opting instead to wait and see.
Just as Jian Sheng returned to the country, she was immediately faced with the program’s commencement, arriving in an awkward situation without even having time to report her safety to Jian Junruo.
Fortunately, Jian Junruo could see Jian Sheng’s current situation through the live broadcast, and her heart finally settled.
However, after Jian Xiuhuan’s incident where he threatened to withdraw from the program, Jian Junruo worried that Jian Sheng might develop psychological issues. She found the production team's contact information and expressed her desire to come over and see her precious daughter during a break in filming.
The production team naturally had no reason to refuse.
Hu Guangxu had even planned how to surprise Jian Sheng and simultaneously promote the production team's humanitarian spirit to the public.
But now, his carefully prepared surprise was exposed by a mole?
“Investigate thoroughly. Those who know that Sheng Sheng’s mother is coming, and those who can interact with Sheng Sheng, the overlapping individuals are only a few. I refuse to believe we can’t find out!”
Hu Guangxu irritably scratched his head. A stray hair caught between his fingers made his frustration even worse.
“All production staff and guests have signed confidentiality agreements. It’s best not to let me know who leaked the production team’s secrets, or you’ll be waiting for the production team’s lawyer’s letter!”
Hu Guangxu cursed angrily, his heart filled with rage.
The staff members close to him trembled, daring not to breathe.
While sending people to investigate, Hu Guangxu quickly calmed down and connected with the cameraman on duty, asking him to try and coax information out of the little girl.
At the filming site, the cameraman was dumbfounded when he heard the director’s instructions through his earpiece.
So, the little girl wasn’t just daydreaming; her mother was actually nearby?
The cameraman walked over and zoomed in on the little girl’s face. Through the high-resolution camera, her smooth, delicate skin, so flawless it barely showed pores, was clearly visible.
— My god, this is a fatal blow of unparalleled beauty! I bet one pack of spicy sticks that Sheng Bao will grow up to be a devastating beauty!
— Cameraman, you understand us! Don't move the camera away! I want to see my girl’s glorious beauty up close!
— Sheng Sheng is too young, I dare not think about it, but I can pre-book my future daughter-in-law, hehe.
— Heh~ Ptooey! The one above, what are you dreaming about in broad daylight?
— What did Sheng Sheng mean just now? Did she say her mom is only zero point three kilometers away? Is Sheng Bao’s mom also here?
— It's just a child's innocent talk. You guys don't actually believe it, do you?
— If it's fake, I wish it were true. Sheng Bao was just brought back from abroad and went straight into the program without even seeing her family. I really hope Sheng Sheng can see her family at this moment. How disappointed would Sheng Bao be if she didn't see her mom tonight?
— Half a day ago, netizens were furiously spouting: Late, acting like a big shot;
— Half a day later, netizens are crawling out of bed to slap themselves: I truly deserve this!
— Alas, I still hope Sheng Bao's mom can come see Sheng Bao, and I hope the production team can be accommodating and let Sheng Bao’s mom visit.
— What if what you hope for is true, and Sheng Bao said that because she knew?
Hu Guangxu watched the viewers gradually getting closer to the truth, constantly urging the cameraman to find a topic to probe, while simultaneously instructing Jiang Bin to hurry over and salvage the situation.
The cameraman, hiding behind the camera to avoid being filmed, squeezed out a friendly smile and said,
“Does Sheng Sheng miss her mom? But mom isn't here right now. If Sheng Sheng misses her mom, our production team can help Sheng Sheng contact her~”
At this moment, Jiang Bin also arrived. After exchanging a glance with the cameraman, the cameraman quickly shouldered his camera and retreated.
Jiang Bin looked at the still-connected phone and smiled as he greeted into it,
“Hello Auntie, Sheng Sheng is having a great time with us. The audience likes her very much, and we will take good care of her, please rest assured.”
“If you miss Sheng Sheng, you can watch her current situation on the live broadcast platform, or you can come to the production team and join us. We at the production team welcome your participation.”
Jiang Bin didn’t press further to ask who told Jian Sheng that her mother was here. It wasn’t the time to ask that, especially with the live broadcast.
The more important thing now was how to change the topic and control the situation.
Jian Junruo’s gentle voice quickly responded,
“Hello Teacher Jiang, I really enjoy watching the variety shows you host.”
“I am at ease knowing Sheng Sheng is with you. Thank you for taking care of my daughter. Regarding my visiting Sheng Sheng, I will contact your production team's person in charge.”
They didn’t talk much, and Jiang Bin didn’t dare to let Jian Junruo and Jian Sheng chat for too long.
Who knew if they continued talking, they might expose the production team’s arrangements completely.
Jian Sheng blinked and subtly used her foot to wipe away the pattern drawn on the ground with a twig.
Seeing that Jiang Bin was about to hang up, Jian Sheng quickly called out to the phone, “Mommy, don’t worry, Uncle Hu is a very good person. He will definitely let you come find me!”
Jiang Bin’s eyelids twitched.
He had a feeling that the little girl definitely knew something and was currently helping them cover up their lie.
However, would a child this young really think so much?
