The song "The Actor" at the beginning stunned me with its portrayal of the aloof school be

The fifth episode has officially begun recording.

Jiang Che, who consistently ranks first overall, is still the first to pick up his sword and choose his opponent.

The rules haven't changed, and the knife is still in his hand.

This issue garnered even more attention than the previous ones.

The entire internet is waiting to see which member of Shengda will fall this knife on.

Shengda was on high alert.

Although she managed to soften her stance towards Jiang Che through Lin Wei's words, the show was still being filmed, and the knife was still in Jiang Che's hand.

If this kid persists and slashes again, Shengda will lose even more face.

The higher-ups were keeping a close eye on this live broadcast, fearing that something might go wrong again.

The production team had already set up the cameras.

The selection process by Jiang Che is now the biggest highlight of the entire event.

The peak of the ratings always happens at this moment.

Logically, this should have been the most tense moment for everyone.

This time, however, the contestants in the audience were not so flustered.

the reason is simple.

After the previous episodes, everyone has figured out Jiang Che's "pattern".

Every time he operated, he targeted Shengda's people.

Public and private matters are clearly separated, and the target is clearly defined.

In the third episode, he picked Shengda's rock musician, and with a song called "Blue Lotus," he crushed him head-on, sending him off on the spot.

In the fourth episode, he selected a contestant whose song Shengda had bought with money. His performance of "Anhe Bridge" was crisp and clean, and he sent the contestant back to the starting lineup.

With two slashes, each strike landed squarely on Shengda's body, without missing a single one.

The entire internet witnessed those two stabs.

Jiang Che has a grudge against Shengda and an old feud with Lin Wei.

He wants to settle scores with the entire Shengda faction.

Keep to yourself and others.

Having figured this out, the players who weren't part of the Shengda camp felt relieved.

He has neither the surname Shengda nor has he ever provoked this corner singing god.

This knife could never be mine.

Now, Shengda only has two players left on the field.

Lin Wei, and the last contestant.

Those players who were not from Shengda's camp gradually gained confidence.

This fire won't reach your own head.

They all looked much more relaxed, and some even started to enjoy the spectacle.

Some people even started to think that once Jiang Che had cleared out all of Shengda's people, the road ahead would be much easier without this sword hanging over their heads.

Several contestants who were ranked lower sat up straight more easily for the first time during Jiang Che's selection process.

Some people even secretly considered whether they should try to improve their relationship with Jiang Che.

After all, this corner singing god is clearly aiming for the championship.

Going against him will do you no good at all; keeping your distance and showing him some respect is the smart way to live.

In just a few episodes, Jiang Che's importance in the hearts of this group of people has quietly changed.

From being a laughingstock relegated to a corner, it has become a behemoth that no one dares to provoke.

What goes around comes around, and no one dares to underestimate that corner anymore.

The suspense seems to have dwindled to just one.

Of the two people from Shengda, who will Jiang Che target first?

Should we eliminate that last remaining heir first, or settle our personal grudge with Lin Wei first?

Everyone was talking about it, but none of them went beyond the "Shengda" circle.

After all, Jiang Che had never failed in his five terms, always aiming his attacks at Shengda.

This issue should naturally be the same.

……

The live stream room also became lively.

The barrage of comments exploded in unison.

"Time to see Shengda off again."

"Shouldn't it be the turn of that last remaining son this time?"

"Jiang Shen underwent surgery, Shengda reported the death."

Shengda: Please don't choose anymore, we'll admit defeat, okay?

"Same old rules, target Shengda exclusively, keep public and private matters separate."

"Shengda's move is a classic case of 'it's easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away.'

"They insisted on provoking Jiang Shen back then, and now look what happened, they've become a target for everyone."

"I've already prepared the melon seeds, just waiting to see that only son cry."

"Honestly, Jiang Che's revenge pace is even more exciting than a TV drama."

Everyone has made this a regular part of their schedule.

In each episode, you see Jiang Che carrying a knife, sending Shengda's people away one by one.

It was incredibly enjoyable to watch.

These days, there aren't many people who dare to confront Shengda head-on.

Only one could repeatedly rub Shengda into the ground.

Wang Haoran, who was in the dormitory, was also happily rubbing his hands together.

"It's a sure thing. Once we get rid of that last remaining member this round, Shengda will only have Lin Wei left."

"We'll take her down last, that'll be perfect."

While scrolling through the comments, he explained Jiang Che's "achievements" to the people around him.

"You guys didn't watch the first few episodes, those were so satisfying."

"My brother's swordsmanship is so good, he specifically targets Shengda, and he can kill him with every strike."

……

The camera panned across Shengda's last contestant.

He had already prepared himself mentally.

The two people from the same company before me both fell into Jiang Che's hands.

It's time for it to be my turn.

He had a tense expression, straightened his back, and waited to be called on.

Rather than living in fear and anxiety, it's better to accept it.

There's no way to avoid it anyway.

He had even planned it out: he would go up and do his best to finish the song, and he would accept defeat if he lost.

A sense of tragic heroism arose in his heart.

Neither of the other two from the same company could withstand a single move from Jiang Che.

What waves can one person make alone?

Rather than hoping Jiang Che will show mercy, it's better to treat this as the last performance, sing to your heart's content, and then leave.

He closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and prepared to go on stage.

……

Lin Wei, sitting not far away, had a rather subtle expression.

She thought that this time it would probably be that contestant's turn.

Following Jiang Che's pattern, eliminating that lone survivor first is a logical next step.

In this way, I can finally catch my breath this term.

If we persevere a little longer, there might still be a chance to turn things around.

Thinking of this, her tense nerves quietly relaxed a little.

A hint of relief flickered in his eyes.

She instinctively felt that the knife wouldn't land on her.

After all, Jiang Che's blade always targets Shengda's visible pawns first.

Although she also shares the surname Shengda, her relationship with Jiang Che is based on personal grudges.

Given this kid's principle of prioritizing public over private matters, he should at least get rid of that only son first before it's her turn.

Thinking about it this way, she even quietly straightened her back.

The sense of relief and relief that I had survived the ordeal grew stronger and stronger.

Little did she know that it was this stroke of luck that made the next cut all the more brutal.

……

The entire audience was waiting.

Wait for Jiang Che to raise his hand.

Everyone's predictions were firmly pinned on "Shengda's only son".

The contestants waited to see which contestant would be called upon.

The live stream is waiting to see if Shengda loses another member.

Even the only son himself was ready to go on stage.

This is the answer everyone knows but doesn't say.

Jiang Che always went to Shengda, and this time was no exception.

The only question is sooner or later.

Center stage.

Jiang Che slowly stood up.

He held the microphone, his gaze sweeping across the room unhurriedly.

His gaze swept over faces, some relaxed, some tense.

The entire audience's breathing softened, following his gaze.

The only son of Shengda subconsciously sat up straight, met his gaze, and placed his hands on the armrests, preparing to get up.

The contestants' gazes all followed Jiang Che's eyes, drifting towards the lone survivor.

Everyone thought that Jiang Che would call out the contestant's name in the next second.

This is a foregone conclusion.

Everyone assumed that his gaze would linger on Shengda's only son.

The number of viewers in the live stream peaked at that moment.

The barrage of comments was almost non-stop.

"Hurry up and vote, that only son is about to stand up."

"Shengda's only son: Let me finish my journey with dignity."

The atmosphere in the entire venue was raised to its highest point.

……

But no one expected it.

This time.

His gaze would fall on Lin Wei.
