"Director, what should we do?"


    "What can we do? It''s Mr. Gordon''s request. I''m at a loss, too."


    "Why would Mr. Gordon make such a request? Isn''t this just adding pressure to our production team?"


    "He''s probably looking to create a buzz for the show."


    The director thought so, but something felt off.


    The buzz was there, and the viewership was increasing, but why did everything Mr. Gordon did seem to boost Sophie''s poprity?


    The production faced a lot of bacsh, but thements expressing affection for Sophie were indeed growing. Who would have thought that just a few days ago, Sophie was being criticized online, and today, the sentiment hadpletely flipped.


    Thunder rumbled overhead. Sophie stopped in her tracks, turning to look at James. "Let''s head back."


    They had been walking for three hours.


    The impending storm could be minor or severe. If it turned out to be a downpour, they would undoubtedly be in danger in such a ce.


    "There''s a shelter up ahead. If we turn back now, we might not make it in time."


    "But..."


    "I''ll be fine." James took the lead, pulling out a hiking stick from his backpack and handing one end to Sophie. "Hold onto this end."


    After walking for three hours, he was tired, and Sophie was feverish. He had never realized before that Sophie was the type to endure pain silently and never let others know. Sophie hesitated but took the end of the hiking stick.


    Sure enough, after walking another 500 meters, Sophie spotted the shelter in the distance. She suddenly stopped. "Wait."


    "Is everything alright?"


    Both Sophie and James halted, and the cameraman followed suit.


    Sophie moved behind the cameraman, asking, "Can you zoom in for me to see?"


    "Sure."


    The cameraman wasn''t sure what was happening but did as Sophie requested, zooming in on the shelter for her.

    ording to the map, there were a total of eight stations. They hadn''t nned on winning, so they were taking their time, only reaching the third station now.


    "Did the production team arrange for someone to be here?"


    "No, there''s no such segment."


    "Really?"


    "Really!" The cameraman was afraid Sophie wouldn''t believe him.


    Sophie approached James, lowering her voice. "Something''s off about that station. Let''s take a detour."

    A gunshot rang out, and Sophie quickly pulled James backward. "Be careful!"


    "Ah-!"


    The cameraman screamed, and the bullet knocked the camera to the ground.


    Sophie gripped James'' shirt tightly, "It''s an ambush..."


    "From the production team?"


    "Look closely, that''s a real gun!"
