After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 80 Jiang Lingxi’s Child Must Learn to Take Revenge for Himself

Chapter 80: Chapter 80 Jiang Lingxi’s Child Must Learn to Take Revenge for Himself

Today’s lunch not only included tender roasted rabbit meat, but Yu Hui also found some potatoes nearby, which were delicious when roasted in the fire. Plus, with freshly cooked wild vegetable soup, there was both meat and vegetables, as well as soup, making it one of the rare sumptuous meals in recent days.

However, Jiang Xiyu found it difficult to swallow.

Her mind was filled with the image of the panda cub she just saw, with its paw fixed to a branch. The rope used was the one she had lent!

Before the others finished eating, she wiped her mouth simply and said, "I’m done. You continue eating; I’ll take a walk nearby."

Jiang Lingxi held a peeled roasted potato, watching the somewhat hasty figure leave before she retracted her gaze. After blowing the potato slightly to cool it, she fed it to the little guy, who was eagerly waiting.

When the little guy took a bite and slowly chewed with its baby teeth, Jiang Lingxi glanced at Jiang Kaiyuan, who was still gnawing on a bone, "Don’t leave after you finish eating; I have a few questions for you."

Jiang Kaiyuan quickly swallowed the meat in his mouth, "Xixi, what do you want to ask? I promise to tell you everything I know."

Jiang Lingxi looked over speechlessly.

If she intended to ask now, would she have specially reminded him?

Jiang Kaiyuan slowly realized under Jiang Lingxi’s gaze, as if she was looking at a fool, that Xixi meant to have a secret conversation with him.

He quickly nodded seriously.

Jiang Lingxi took another roasted potato from the fire pit and, under the eager eyes of the little guy waiting to be fed again, ate it herself leisurely.

A quarter of an hour later, when everyone finished eating and cleaning up, it was done.

Jiang Lingxi stepped outside the camera to turn off the microphone attached to her collar. Once she saw that the light on Jiang Kaiyuan’s equipment was also off, she asked, "When Xu and I went hunting this morning, besides you, who else touched the cub?"

Although Jiang Kaiyuan can sometimes be straightforward, he only disdains disguise. In reality, he’s not stupid and can even be considered clever.

Jiang Lingxi’s question seemed to come out of nowhere, but Jiang Kaiyuan quickly understood why she was asking.

"Jiang Xiyu touched the cub while you two were hunting. I guess she was hesitant to approach the cub earlier because you brought it back, Xixi, so she was embarrassed. Today, she carefully asked me, and I replied compassionately. Xixi, do you suspect she injured the cub?"

Jiang Kaiyuan couldn’t help but shake his head, "But that shouldn’t be, right? Everyone knows how precious panda cubs are, so how would Jiang Xiyu dare do that?"

However, Jiang Lingxi noticed another point, "Panda cubs are very precious?"

Jiang Kaiyuan’s serious expression almost cracked when faced with Jiang Lingxi’s confusion. He nodded vigorously, "Only our country has them in the whole world. They’re rarer than tigers and lions and have long been listed as a first-class national protected endangered species. Isn’t that precious enough? If Xixi hadn’t found a wild one this time, we ordinary people could only see them in large zoos, and even then, we couldn’t touch them. Who would dare harm them?"

Jiang Lingxi silently processed this information and couldn’t help but fall into silence.

According to Jiang Kaiyuan, these pandas aren’t animals she can just choose to raise.

So, this one she has now, does it mean it’ll have to be surrendered after the filming is over?

"Xixi?"

Jiang Lingxi snapped back to attention, meeting Jiang Kaiyuan’s gaze, "We’ll find out if Jiang Xiyu did it with a test."

"How to test?"

"I have my ways. Anyway, I’ve learned what I needed to know. You’re off the hook, go play with the cub."

Jiang Kaiyuan, dismissed after use, scratched his head, still puzzled.

If Jiang Xiyu really intended to hurt the cub, what was her motive?

Jiang Lingxi was never shy about suspecting the worst intentions in people, especially those who conflicted with her interests or already bore ill will towards her.

Coincidentally, Jiang Xiyu ticked both boxes.

After locking the suspicion on Jiang Xiyu, and hearing from Jiang Kaiyuan how precious pandas are, she could even speculate on the other’s reasoning for such actions.

The cub was found by her, and until the relevant authorities claimed it, she was, so to speak, the cub’s first responsible person.

If the cub got hurt, especially in such a concealed area like the paw, it wouldn’t make a fuss but would just curl up silently and endure it. If she hadn’t noticed, the worsening injury might have endangered its life.

Negligently causing the death of a national treasure cub, beloved by the nation and dependent on her, especially under the watchful eyes of live-stream viewers, the consequences for her were unimaginable.

Leaving the circle would be the lightest outcome; criticism would be unavoidable.

Even if she replaced herself, she might not overcome such guilt.

This was Jiang Xiyu’s real plan—simple yet vicious.

Unfortunately, she miscalculated the most crucial step.

She was not the same Jiang Lingxi as before.

This game was destined to fail!

After a brief rest, the team continued on their way.

With the cub injured, it became the darling of the team.

Previously, Jiang Lingxi would let it walk from time to time, but now it didn’t have to walk at all.

The five of them took turns holding it; once someone was tired, it would be passed to the next person.

Since the secret conversation with Jiang Lingxi, Jiang Kaiyuan couldn’t help but glance at Jiang Xiyu every now and then.

He found it hard to imagine that such a seemingly delicate girl could have such a cruel heart.

After watching Jiang Xiyu, he turned to Jiang Lingxi, curious about how she would determine if Jiang Xiyu deliberately harmed the cub.

Seeing that all four had taken turns carrying the cub for a distance and it was Jiang Xiyu’s turn, Jiang Lingxi hadn’t made any move, and he was already anxious.

Was Jiang Xiyu really going to carry the cub again?

To be honest, Jiang Xiyu didn’t want to either. Her greatest display of kindness to animals was to show her kindness in front of the audience and fans. Besides, she feared the cub might take a swipe at her face for revenge.

But since everyone else had carried it, only she hadn’t, she could only brace herself with a smile to take it from Yu Hui.

Just as their four hands met, Jiang Lingxi suddenly interjected, gently touching the little one’s tense back and encouragingly patting its head.

Then, with a light "thud," the little creature, emboldened by encouragement to avenge itself, swiftly retracted its paw from the face in front and jumped into Jiang Lingxi’s arms.

This left Jiang Xiyu, with three faint claw marks on her face, standing stunned in place.

The surroundings fell into silence.
