I snagged a bargain in a melodramatic novel and became incredibly wealthy!

Chapter 146 Popularity

After Jiang Li explained the situation to them, she planned to go back and meet up with Cai Yi, but Xu Zhizhi stopped her.

Jiang Li looked at Xu Zhizhi, who had a completely bewildered expression, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Xu Zhizhi glanced at the drone in the sky, her face showing concern, and said, "It's too dangerous for you two girls to go. Even if you want to stand out, you should think about your own safety."

"With more people, we can come up with better solutions together."

Whether it's poachers or animal protection, she can't possibly stay out of this controversy.

Jiang Li understood what she meant, but she didn't want to argue with her. She just wanted to get back to Cai Yi's side as soon as possible and work together to deal with this group of poachers.

So, without saying a word, she picked up a bottle of empty mineral water, drank it all in one gulp, then tightly screwed on the cap and crushed the bottle in front of everyone.

"Boom!"

The sudden loud noise startled Xu Zhizhi and the other guests, causing their expressions to change drastically.

Shi Changyu's eyes sparkled with starlight, filled with admiration; this powerful force filled him with longing.

Xiangxiang, on the other hand, thought of the previous maritime disaster and wondered to herself, "Could it be the police again?"

Thinking about this, Xiangxiang realized that they were indeed not suitable to stay here and become a burden.

She smiled gently at Xu Zhizhi and said, "Xu Zhizhi, look how capable they are, they obviously don't need our help."

"The best help we can give them is for us to leave first."

Chang Yu also spoke up, looking troubled and saying weakly, "Sister Zhizhi, my body is very weak, I'm afraid I can't stay here for too long."

Then, as if he had thought of something, he continued, "Besides Sister Jiang Li and Sister Cai Yi, only my brother knows how to drive."

"If Sister Zhizhi doesn't leave, Brother Shiyu definitely won't leave either..."

As he finished speaking, Shi Changyu's face showed a pained expression, as if she might faint at any moment.

Xu Zhizhi cursed inwardly, but was still unwilling to give up easily, after all, such a perfect opportunity to become famous did not always exist.

Currently, her popularity mainly stems from her role as a loving couple with Feng Shiyu in the drama, which has won her many fans.

However, apart from this role, she doesn't have many other highlights.

Given her status, she wouldn't normally be able to participate in this survival reality show, so it's unclear why the director specifically invited her.

Presumably because she has gained some fame recently, she absolutely cannot miss this opportunity to become a huge star!

After thinking for a moment, Xu Zhizhi lowered her long eyelashes and said softly, "Yuyu, you take them back first."

Feng Shiyu looked troubled and was reluctant to leave because he and Xu Zhizhi shared the same idea and also believed that this was a rare opportunity to become a sensation.

He hurriedly said, "Squeak, it's too dangerous here. How can I bear to leave you here alone?"

"If something happens to you, I will feel guilty and ashamed for the rest of my life."

Zhao Heng's eyes narrowed slightly, then he smiled and said calmly, "Feng Shiyu, you drive Shi Changyu and the others back first."

"I used to practice some martial arts, so I'm fairly skilled."

"I will do everything I can to protect Xu Zhizhi, please don't worry."

He may not be as famous as Feng Shiyu, but if you add the popularity of poachers, then it's a different story.

Maybe Zhizhi will even like him then.

Upon hearing this, Feng Shiyu became even more worried and immediately replied, "I can't rest easy when Zhizhi is out of my sight. I'm sorry."

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Jiang Li clenched her fists, frowned, and glanced anxiously at the time on her watch.

Every second seemed to stretch on endlessly, and her heart grew increasingly anxious.

Chang Yu clearly sensed Jiang Li's impatience. He approached her and said softly, "Sister Jiang Li, I can drive."

This simple sentence was like a ray of dawn in the darkness, illuminating Jiang Li's eyes.

Jiang Li's eyes instantly lit up with a bright light, like a shining sun.

Things become much easier when someone can drive.

Jiang Li immediately had an idea.

While the other three were still pushing and shoving each other, Jiang Li decisively struck and knocked them all unconscious without hesitation.

Then, she quickly put them in the car and thoughtfully helped them fasten their seat belts.

Xiangxiang covered her mouth and let out a soft gasp.

This action made her even more convinced that Jiang Li must be a police officer.

She felt a surge of admiration for Jiang Li and wanted to stay there even less.

Poachers—just thinking about it is dangerous, especially since there are wild animals in the desert, and poachers might even have firearms.

Shi Changyu sat in the driver's seat and slowly started the vehicle. He was still full of confidence when driving slowly.

Xiang Xiang sat in the passenger seat, keeping a close eye on Shi Changyu's condition.

After all, Shi Changyu was a well-known sickly beauty with a rather weak body.

Jiang Li watched their car slowly drive away, then quietly ran towards Cai Yi's direction, without making a big fuss.

She moved with the lightness of a cheetah, disappearing swiftly into the night.

As netizens watched this scene, their curiosity grew even stronger, and they began urging the production team to hurry up.

With so many drones, why not send a few to follow them?

The drone is very conspicuous; if they follow it and are discovered, they will be in great danger.

[But isn't anyone curious about who this ordinary person named Jiang Li is?]

[Can you crush a mineral water bottle with one hand?]

Hahaha, I can also do it with one hand (on a bottle without the cap).

However, neither of them looked like they knew martial arts.

[Relying solely on brute force won't work, will it?]

Poachers usually carry hunting rifles, right?

[A police report has been filed!]

【+1】

[To be honest, I'm so preoccupied with poachers right now that I can't concentrate on Zhizhi's livestream at all.]

I'm clearly her fan.

【Me too! 】

【+1】

The drone was still dutifully broadcasting the situation on Xu Zhizhi's side.

When Xu Zhizhi and the others finally woke up from their coma, the car had already driven quite a distance.

Xu Zhizhi realized what had happened almost instantly. Her face turned ugly, and she shouted at the two people in front of her, "What are you doing? Don't you know you'll break..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xu Zhizhi suddenly realized she was still live-streaming. She swallowed her words and changed her approach, saying, "Do you know how much danger Caiyi and Jiang Li will face if we go back like this?"

"Stop the car now, immediately!"

“If you’re unwilling to go back and help, I am. I can’t stand by and watch them be in danger!”
