Chapter 3112: Still Waiting for Gong FU to Kick the Bucket

If she exposed what had happened on the island, the first person Gong Rong would suspect would be her and the little tanned girl. But the little tanned girl… well, she was just too pure and simple.

Gong Rong wouldn’t suspect her.

Moreover, she still had the label of ‘kidnapper’ attached to herself. She couldn’t act rashly.

Ning Shu propped her chin up with one hand as she tapped the table with her fingers.

She was still waiting for Gong Fu to kick the bucket. Everything Gong Rong had schemed and calculated for so long would turn out to be in vain.

Ning Shu began calling the families of those who had participated in the program. Their loved ones have been missing for nearly two months. How could they not have suspected anything?

Some of the families explained that their relatives had gone to film a show and would be gone for a while.

Ning Shu came right out and said, “The survival show only lasts a month. My child hasn’t come back yet. I have no idea what’s going on. I’ve already reported it to the police, but they haven’t given me any kind of response.

“I don’t even know where they went to film the show. I’m so anxious, I’ve been having nightmares at night—dreams of my child covered in blood.”

Her voice sounded aged, anxious, and distressed, making the listeners uneasy and unsettled.

Ning Shu went down the list as she called each family member one by one.

Several of them ended up filing police reports. Their family members had been gone for so long, and they’d been wondering if their family members could have been abducted.

Some even went to the television station to raise a fuss. The station’s only response was to repeat, ‘Everything’s fine, everything’s fine.’

But the families only grew more panicked. They demanded, “Then let them call us. If I don’t hear my child’s voice, I won’t feel at ease!”

The TV station’s staff were completely flustered. They had only been responsible for recruiting the participants. The rest wasn’t their business. Where were they supposed to go to find those people?

“It’s a closed-set recording. Once the filming is complete, they’ll naturally reach out to you.”

However, the station’s evasiveness only made things worse. Family members continued to cause scenes at both the police station and other TV stations’ offices regarding the matter.

More and more people online began posting as well, asking where those participants had gone.

Two months had passed. The show hadn’t aired. The people hadn’t reappeared.

Public attention had been steadily mounting, and the television station had no choice but to approach SR Conglomerate and Gong Rong.

They were the ones who took them—so they should return them now.

Gong Rong rubbed his eyebrows as he looked at the snowballing news online, and told the station’s staff, “I’ll handle this matter.”

Just as the families’ nerves reached their breaking point, news finally came, but it was bad news.

The police released an official statement on Weibo. The gist was that a reward of ten million yuan had been offered, but unexpectedly, a twisted doctor, tempted by the money, committed a series of murders.

They even posted a few photos—a housewife with her ***** mutilated, a lawyer with his throat slit, and a hoodlum with his kneecaps gouged out…

Each victim had died tragically. Some of their bodies couldn’t even be found.

The police explained that the case had been too horrific in nature so even though they had started the investigation early on, they chose not to release the details to the public.

As for the doctor, he was currently being held in prison.

Ning Shu let out a long breath. This time, the one taking the fall was the doctor.

Once the news broke, it caused a huge public uproar. Everyone condemned the doctor as a beast in human skin, and even his family suffered collateral damage.

That was when Gong Rong stepped forward. He faced the camera as he stated, “This matter is also SR Conglomerate’s responsibility. We had initially intended to sponsor the show to boost product sales. That’s why we offered the ten-million-yuan prize to incentivize participants.

“But we never imagined that someone would be unable to resist temptation and end up committing such crimes. On behalf of SR Conglomerate, I sincerely apologize to the public. From now on, we will no longer sponsor any survival-type programs.

“The ten-million-yuan prize will be used to compensate the victims’ families. In addition, we will contribute another ten million.”

After Gong Rong’s announcement, the television station quickly followed up with their own statement, admitting fault. They hadn’t vetted their participants properly, which had allowed such a cruel, vicious person to slip through, blah blah blah…

Ning Shu couldn’t help but applaud. This was high-level manipulation, through and through.

As for the TV station, of course they’d been paid off. No way were they going to admit that those people had actually been selected by Gong Rong and Gong Fu.
