After five bigwigs in Beijing's elite circle fell into their trap, I fled.

Chapter 88 Master Duan Shui
Less than ten minutes after Jiang Shu started her broadcast, the back-end operations team suddenly sent her a connection request:
"Hello, host. Your live stream made you famous and gained a lot of popularity, which also attracted the curiosity of many people about your daily life. Our Chaomu Operations Studio has selected some of the comments from millions of messages and would like to conduct a fun interview with you on behalf of our netizens."

Jiang Shu firmly refused: "I have always kept my live streams and personal life separate, and I have no intention of revealing my real information."

"Don't worry, we won't ask any questions that involve your offline identity. It'll just be some simple interactions about your values. And Chaomu will pay you 10,000 yuan per question for paid Q&A—the only requirement is that you can choose to remain silent, and once you answer, you must tell the truth."

Jiang Shu thought for a moment: "Does silence bring wealth?"

"...Only one hundred yuan."

[Host, say yes! I'll make up the other 9,900! By the way, I'm also very curious about what kind of person the host is!]

With tens of millions of netizens watching, are you sure he's telling the truth? Speaking official jargon is pointless...

……

Jiang Shu pondered for a moment: "I can answer ten questions—I guarantee to tell the truth."

Morning and Evening Operations Department.

Feng Zan joined a video conference, trembling with fear.

At the other end of the video conference, five men sat comfortably on a large sofa. The interior of the home theater was dimly lit, so he couldn't see their faces clearly, but just looking at their figures was incredibly intimidating.

The voice of their boss, Li Yubai, rang out from the other end: "The first question..."

Feng Zan carefully wrote it down in his notebook and silently passed it on to the back-end operations staff responsible for connecting with the puppet.

……

On Jiang Shu's side, the interviewer asked a question in a voice that sounded equally bewildered:

"Hello, Puppet Host, if... if the five people who fell into the water at the same time—Li Yubai, the richest man in the capital; Yan Yu, the dream man of mine; the heir of the FY conglomerate; Ning Yunzhan, the big boss of Yunduan; and the guy who gave you three super luxury watches last time—none of them could swim, who would you save first?"

[Haha! Who would have thought that a puppet streamer would one day encounter this age-old problem!]

Five top-tier men, wow!!! So hard to choose!

Jiang Shu paused for a moment: "Actually, I'm quite capable; I can save them both at the same time."

Interviewer: "No, you have to choose one, you can only choose one."

Jiang Shu sighed softly, "Then I'll choose the hundred-yuan one."

Interviewer: "...Really, can't you give me an answer?"

"I can't give it to them. No matter who they choose, they'll all be forced to kneel on washboards as punishment when they get home..." Jiang Shu replied quietly.

[Hahaha! What the hell is this kneeling on a washboard?!]

[Even though the streamer didn't say anything, I have a feeling he's actually a bit afraid of his wife—referring to those five big shots, hehe!]

……

The atmosphere in Feng Zan's video conference was a bit awkward.

Several seconds later, another familiar young voice, the same one that drives millions of fans wild, rang out from the other end of the video: "Then, please ask the second question for me..."

Another lazy, playful voice joined in: "The third question, I'll answer..."

Feng Zan kept his head down and wrote furiously, not daring to utter a sound.

……

Puppet Man Livestream Room.

The staff continued, "Second question, um... what part of Yan Yu attracts you the most?"

"His brain." This time, Jiang Shu answered without hesitation, "He's the most brilliant student I've ever met! If I could, I'd stay up all night battling math, physics, and chemistry with him!"

"The third question, well—wait a minute, let me ask my supervisor if it's permissible to ask this question..."

Two minutes later, the staff member cautiously asked, "Third question: Have you ever had... that kind of impulse towards the young master of FY?"

Jiang Shu: "...I choose one hundred yuan."

"The fourth question is, if... if one day you suddenly find out that you've slept with Li Yubai, what would your reaction be?"

Jiang Shu: "...This assumption is invalid, so I can't answer—I choose one hundred yuan."

"If you woke up to find yourself having slept with a man, and you had to marry him, which of these five would you want that person to be?" "..."

"This question has increased in value; it's worth 100,000 yuan."

Jiang Shu paused for a moment: "Only children make choices. I want to sleep with all of them... but I don't want to take responsibility for any of them."

"What if...we have to take responsibility?"

"Then let them all hang in the air, and don't touch a single one." Jiang Shu said with a touch of emotion, "Be a master of impartiality without any feelings..."

"The sixth question: Do you believe in reincarnation?"

Jiang Shu sighed sincerely, "These things won't be allowed after the founding of the People's Republic of China..."

"The seventh question is to name one of their preferences."

"Puppet".

"Ok?"

Jiang Shu cleared her throat: "All five of them like puppets."

"..."

[Verification complete! The puppet streamer is so narcissistic!]

Like her, I want to sleep with all those male gods...

[The streamer is truly a master of balancing things out; he hasn't offended anyone. Is he afraid of having to kneel on a washboard when he gets home?]

……

"The eighth question: What is the thing you most want to do with them?"

"Let's make money together. Make a lot of money."

"The ninth question... cough! What surname will the children take in the future?"

"Take my surname—I can only accept marrying into my husband's family."

"One, one last question..." The staff member paused, "...it was a question raised by all five of them together. They asked, 'The bed is too small. How are five people going to sleep tonight?'"

What's going on? Is it what I think it means?

[The puppet was spending the night in a room with those five big shots? No! Impossible! Putting aside everything else, my husband Yan Yu isn't that kind of person...]

The staff member swallowed hard and added, "Yan Yu asked me to ask you if it's okay if he wants to be the first to use you?"

Jiang Shu: "..."

Babies all over the internet: "..."

Yan Yu's millions of fans were instantly devastated!
Second floor lounge.

With the tacit approval of the other men, Yan Yu calmly concluded:

"So, for the next two months, I will spend four hours every night to be responsible for her pre-exam cramming for all subjects."

Li Yubai nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

Yan Yu smiled noncommittally and immediately sent a video to her agent:
"I've set up a temporary studio in Jiangcheng and canceled all my nighttime appearances for the past two months. Also, I'm keeping my trip to Jiangcheng a secret."

The agent looked like he'd just eaten a bitter melon...

After finishing their business, Ning Yunzhan smiled and brought up another question he was concerned about: "So, how do the five of you sleep at night?"

Li Yubai replied calmly, "They'll all be sleeping in my villa. There are plenty of rooms; they can choose whichever they like."

"I suddenly remembered the question you raised..." The young master of FY looked at Li Yubai suspiciously, "What do you mean, 'What if one day she finds out she slept with you'?"

"You were able to find out if she ever had that kind of feeling for you. Why are you surprised that I just made something up?" Li Yubai wasn't in the mood for further conversation. He looked at Jiang Shu, who was enthusiastically opening blind boxes in the live stream again. "Life is long, and there are countless possibilities. Isn't it?"

“There are indeed countless possibilities.” Rong Jingchen watched the live stream intently. “No matter what happens, I hope she remains as she is now, with light always shining in her eyes…”
