Switched Life:I Went Viral on a Family Variety Show-Chapter 40 The Man was Sneaking Around

Sang Chuan moved swiftly. Taking advantage of Sang Youming’s drunken sluggishness, he rushed forward and looped the rope around him, then pulled it back, tying his hands behind his back.

"You brat, what are you doing? Let me go!"

Sang Youming struggled desperately, but Sang Chuan merely chuckled, "Dad, my sister told me to do this. If you have grievances, go find Sang Ning."

[I have reason to suspect Sang Chuan is settling personal scores.]

[Definitely. His dad smashed his computer and headphones; he’s probably still holding a grudge.]

After tying him up, Sang Chuan didn’t bother if Sang Youming could walk properly and yanked the rope forward, causing Sang Youming to stagger repeatedly.

"Damn it! Can you slow down? I’m gonna fall!"

"Hey kid, where are you taking my buddy?" Mr. Shen shouted from behind to stop Sang Chuan.

Sang Chuan turned back to glance at him, his lips curling into a mischievous grin, "Uncle, this rope is long enough to tie up one more person. Do you want to come along and keep your buddy company?"

[Even daring to tie up Shen Yi’s dad, Sang Chuan is way too bold.]

[Understandable, since Sang Chuan doesn’t acknowledge elders—only his sister Sang Ning matters to him.]

Mr. Shen fell silent and turned to glance at Shen Yi.

His son was there—who would dare touch him?

However, Shen Yi didn’t even look at him. He simply strode toward Sang Chuan and left behind a cold, icy threat: "Get tied up and dragged back, or walk back yourself—pick one."

[It’s over. As expected, you become like those you associate with; Shen Yi has clearly picked up bad habits hanging around Sang Chuan.]

Feeling wronged, Mr. Shen pursed his lips. Sure enough, sons grow up and stop being considerate.

He glanced at Sang Youming, who was being yanked around like a stumbling clown, and decided it was too undignified.

Forget it, better to just behave and walk on his own.

Director Sun, worried for the safety of the guests, specially arranged for a vehicle. After walking a while, they finally reached the parked cars.

Sang Youming and Sang Chuan argued the entire way, exhausting their energy.

Sang Chuan waved over a staff member, and the two of them lifted Sang Youming onto the vehicle. As soon as he hit the seat, Sang Youming passed out, snoring thunderously.

Mr. Shen didn’t need help getting into the car. He obediently climbed into the back seat himself, and just like Sang Youming, immediately closed his eyes and fell deeply asleep.

[I’m truly impressed by Sang Ning’s dad and Shen Yi’s dad. They can make trouble like pros but also sleep like champs.]

Once the missing people were located, Sang Ning finally felt relieved. She briefly explained to Director Sun what had happened on her side, reassuring him that they’d file their reports quickly and wouldn’t delay the next day’s filming.

Director Sun felt his head swell—this group of guests was by far the most troublesome he’d ever worked with. They had even ended up at the police station.

All the lawbreakers were loaded into police cars. Villagers drawn by the blaring sirens began to gather around in the distance.

"Time to get going. The crowd will swarm us soon," Shen Fang reminded.

Hu Zhi, still unsure how to explain things to Sang Ning, quickly grabbed Grandma Song and Song Shiye and got into the police car at the front.

Sang Ning followed, but as she reached the car, the window of the front passenger seat rolled down and a young officer leaned out, "Miss Sang, this car is already full."

Sang Ning: "..."

Shen Fang glanced at the backseat; Hu Zhi had her head buried like a quail, avoiding Sang Ning’s gaze. He chuckled lightly, "Your mom seems pretty scared of you."

"Oh really?" Sang Ning replied nonchalantly. "She’s just feeling guilty for messing up."

As the police cars filled with occupants drove off one by one, Shen Fang pointed to a black car parked to the side, "Not enough police cars. You can ride in mine."

"Okay." Sang Ning nodded and walked over.

Just as she was about to open the rear car door, she suddenly paused, her gaze fixed ahead.

Shen Fang’s hand froze on the driver’s door handle, "What’s wrong?"

"You sure there aren’t any stragglers you missed?" Sang Ning’s expression turned serious.

Shen Fang was puzzled, "Nope, our colleagues are guarding the entrance. Not even a bird could get out."

"Alright, then. It’s just that that guy looks suspicious—not someone to trust easily."

Li Juezhou felt an intense glare filled with hostility directed at him. Following the source, he saw Sang Ning staring straight at him, eyes sharp like a leopard lurking in the night, calculating its strike.

He felt a chill run down his spine. Had he been discovered?

Shen Fang followed Sang Ning’s gaze and saw Li Juezhou standing in distant bushes. If not closely observed, one wouldn’t notice anyone there.

He raised his hand high and waved a few times, "Oh, Azhou—is that you?"

Li Juezhou: "..."

Li Juezhou didn’t seem embarrassed at all from being spotted. Hands casually in his pockets, he strolled out from the bushes at an unhurried pace.

Under the moonlight, Sang Ning finally got a clear look at the man’s features as he approached.

He was dressed in black casual wear, his brows sharp and eyes cold. His short jet-black hair was neat, and he exuded a strong "keep your distance" aura.

When Li Juezhou came close, Sang Ning slightly tilted her head towards Shen Fang and asked coolly, "One of your people?"

Shen Fang paused for a moment, then nodded, "I suppose."

Once upon a time, at least.

Sang Ning nodded faintly at Li Juezhou as a greeting, then opened the car door and slid into the backseat without a second glance.

Shen Fang raised his hand to pat Li Juezhou’s chest, leaning closer to his ear to mock him quietly, "Buddy, here to chase her? Too bad she doesn’t seem interested in you."

Li Juezhou placed a hand on Shen Fang’s shoulder and smirked slightly, "Shen Fang, you’ve been chasing Wen Jiu for eight years, and she still hasn’t said yes. Know why?"

"Why?"

"Because your mouth looks pretty unlikable."

"You..."

Shen Fang was speechless, his fists clenched tightly. Who really had the unlikeable mouth here?

He climbed into the driver’s seat, slammed the door shut, rolled down the window, and shot a mocking smile at Li Juezhou, "I have police reports to file at the station, so I won’t waste my time chatting with you."

Li Juezhou rested his hand on the car window and said calmly, "Give me a ride—I need to head back to the city as well."

He had already sent away the helicopter. Not using a convenient car ride would be foolish.

Shen Fang cursed Li Juezhou quietly in his heart. What an endlessly shameless man.

Shen Fang said nothing, and Li Juezhou took his silence as agreement.

Li Juezhou opened the rear car door. Sang Ning sat by the door with her arms crossed, making no motion to move aside, sitting firm and unmoved.

"Apologies, I forgot someone was already sitting here," Li Juezhou spoke calmly, closing the door again.

Sang Ning: "..."

Why did it feel like his words carried an undertone—like he was insulting her?
