Ruhan had barely uttered the word “President” when Jiang Xun said, “Then I’ll go with you.”

Her blood ran cold. She couldn’t spit it out or swallow her words, and she felt uncomfortable.

She asked Jiang Xun to look for Miaotong, but Jiang Xun didn’t want to go, and now that she wanted to team up with Qin Mufeng, Jiang Xun had once again gotten in her way!

Was Jiang Xun so reluctant to see someone else team up with Mufeng?

“That’s good too.” Mufeng nodded in satisfaction. “Ruhan runs slowly. When the men in black catch up, take the clues and run, Jiang Xun.”

Ruhan: “…”

[Hahaha! There’s nothing wrong with what President Qin said. Didn’t Ruhan say the same thing just now? She asked Jiang Xun to look for Xu Miaotong because Jiang Xun runs fast. If the men in black find them, Jiang Xun can take the clues and run first.]

[If that’s the case, what’s Ruhan doing now?]

[LMAO it’s so funny. She keeps saying that other people have too many excuses, but she’s not happy when it’s her turn.]

And so, Mufeng set off to the bank in the south while Jiang Xun and Ruhan went to the post office in the north.

The livestream feed was currently on Xiangyou, who had successfully gotten the clues, so it cut to Shixiang, who was still on his way to find Miaotong.

As he was walking, he suddenly saw Miaotong running in his direction.

Upon seeing Shixiang, Miaotong hurriedly said, “Run! The men in black are here!”

Shixiang did not even have time to think before turning around and running. After running a few steps, he turned his head and asked, “Did you get the clue?”

“I did!” Miaotong shouted, “Brother Cheng, I’ll throw it to you. Take the clue and run!”

Shixiang was faster than her, after all.

“Okay!” Shixiang was about to reach out to take it, but suddenly stopped and knelt down.

“My toe is cramping…” he said in frustration.

Miaotong was anxious. “Can you still run?”

“I can’t.” Shixiang thought about how his toes were cramping so much that he couldn’t run at all. “I can’t run anymore. Take the clues and run quickly. I’ll help stall the men in black.”

There was a bug in the men in black’s program: whenever they caught a participant, they would all stop at the same place and would only restart when the participant was taken away.

This undoubtedly gave the other participants a buffer.

“Alright.” At such a critical moment, Miaotong did not dare hesitate. It wasn’t worth it for both of them to be taken away.

And so, she held onto the clue and ran like a madwoman. Behind her, Shixiang had already been caught by the men in black.

“Shixiang, eliminated!” came the announcement.

*

Meanwhile, Mufeng was looking for his clue alone. Along the way, he was careful and was able to calmly avoid the men in black perfectly. Not a single man in black had noticed him.

Jiang Xun and Ruhan headed to the post office. While Ruhan didn’t want to talk to Jiang Xun on the way, in order to have more footage of herself in the final cut of the episode, she had to talk to the camera.

She ended up talking to herself about the environment to the NPCs to the camera the entire time.

When they entered the post office, Ruhan kept muttering to herself while looking for clues. Jiang Xun, on the other hand, didn’t speak at all as she focused on finding the clues.

After a while, Ruhan picked up an envelope that was stamped with a postmark. “Oh, this is so interesting. This is the first time I’ve ever seen such a postmark.”

“Let me open the envelope to see if there are any clues inside,” Ruhan said as she did exactly that. Then, her expression changed. “There aren’t any clues! The program team really did a great job hiding the clues.”

“Can this drawer be opened?” Ruhan opened the drawer. “It can! What’s inside? An account book?”

[This lady’s making my head hurt. Can her mouth rest for a while?]

[Ruhan’s voice is ringing in my ears.]

[Her voice is so loud. Isn’t she afraid of attracting the men in black?]

[Look for clues, lady. Hurry up and look for clues. Don’t keep hogging the camera! If you have the time, hurry up, find the clues, and leave!]

[Director, why don’t you cut the camera to someone else? I can’t take it anymore.]

[Although, I can’t see Jiang Xun like this.]

[Jiang Xun is trying hard to find clues. You don’t have to look at her for the time being.]

[Jiang Xun, hurry up and find the clues. Don’t let Ruhan pressure you.]

[Our Ruhan is seriously looking for clues too. She’s obviously very cute when she’s grumbling while looking for clues.]

[That’s Ruhan’s personality. You’ll know when you see it more often.]

“Found it.” Jiang Xun, who had been quietly looking for clues, finally said something for the first time since forming a team with Ruhan.

The audience was dumbfounded.

Found It?

[How did Jiang Xun find it?]

[The livestream camera was at Ruhan’s place, but I didn’t see where Jiang Xun found it.]

[Could it be that the program team secretly gave it to Jiang Xun?]

[Is this your first time watching this program? It’s famous for not having a script, and the clues are all found by the guests themselves. The program team didn’t even give them any hints, so why would they directly give the clues to the participants?]

Guanglin didn’t have time to react to this news. “How did Jiang Xun find it? I remember that the clues at the post office required them to solve a formula to find the password for the safe, right?”

This formula was rather difficult, too, which was why the program team would include special guests from different fields in every episode.

There were also some guests with high IQs who were specifically there to solve such difficult problems.

Guanglin hadn’t expected that Ruhan and Jiang Xun would run into the problem this time. Originally, he wanted to leave this problem for Mufeng to solve. He’d also expected Jiang Xun and Ruhan to go to Mufeng for help if they couldn’t solve it.

Therefore, Guanglin had deliberately asked the men in black not to go to the post office and the bank for now to give the guests time to solve the problem.

Otherwise, if Mufeng was eliminated, who else would solve it? If they couldn’t solve the formula, they wouldn’t be able to complete the program.

“I saw it,” the assistant director said. He’d happened to be paying attention to Jiang Xun’s camera. “She solved the problem and got the answer. She opened the safe.”

“I saw her solving the question just now, but I didn’t expect her to solve it so quickly,” the assistant director explained. “She didn’t say anything either; she just sat there and did some calculations. The camera was inevitably dull, and it wasn’t as lively as Ruhan’s, so I thought that I’d edit in a scene of her solving the problem later on. Who knew that she would solve the question so quickly? I didn’t even have time to cut the camera.”

Jiang Xun’s cameraman, who had been replaced by someone else, said, “I remember that Jiang Xun seems to be a student at Beijing University.”

Everyone let out an “Oh” sound of sudden realization.

Come to think of it, she was Beijing University’s top student. No wonder she solved the problem so quickly.

“Later on, put the process of Jiang Xun solving the problem into the main episode,” Guanglin said.

Ruhan walked over when she heard that. “Where did you find it?”

“There were clues in the post office to unlock the safe password. I figured it out,” Jiang Xun hurriedly explained and put away the clues. “Let’s go.”
