Chapter 5 I Am Your Father

The production team of "The Lone Warrior" works incredibly fast.

They completed the physical fitness test in the morning and released the list of first-season guests by nightfall.

Unsurprisingly, Huo Xiao ranked first.

This Asian heartthrob primarily focuses on films, releasing roughly one per year.

Though his output is not high, the quality is top-notch, earning him numerous international awards.

With his handsome appearance, perfect physique, and exceptional acting skills, he has amassed countless fans.

Moreover, backed by the mysterious Huo family, he possesses substantial financial resources and connections, making him an unshakable powerhouse in the industry...

Such a top-tier alpha persona, yet he's actually a villain who doesn't survive to the end?

Isn't the original author being too biased?

Jian Li, holding his phone, sighed with a 'tsk' and swiped to another poster.

Ranking second, Luo Xiaohong, a martial arts actress, active in various films and TV shows. Rumored to be trained in Emei martial arts, her moves carry a distinct Chinese martial arts flair, earning her fervent support from the younger generation who love traditional Chinese culture.

Ranking third, Yuan Feng, a singer who debuted through a talent show, starred in a few niche web dramas, gaining considerable fame. With excellent physical fitness, ranking high in various tests, and a sunny, chiseled appearance, he is considered promising talent. Recently, he has been attracting the attention of capital, making significant strides.

Additionally, there are two veterans tied for fourth place: Shi Huayi and Zhou Nan. They have good relationships within the circle and a solid fan base. Although they are in their thirties and approaching middle age, a resurgence through variety shows is not out of the question.

Sixth is Jian Li, no need for further introduction—the top KPI super mercenary, reliable!

Last place, Lu Yuanhang.

Observing the poster on which he grins like a cunning schemer, Jian Li's mouth twisted into a sly smirk.

The idiot who screwed over the original body wants to die?

I don't mind giving him a hand!

At the Lu Family villa.

After the agent reported the rankings, Lu Yuanhang smashed his tablet, his eyes filled with resentment, "Why am I last? Where does that bitch Jian Li surpass me?! The 'Lone Warrior' production team is a joke, right? Do they want to stop filming?!"

The agent glanced at him nervously,

Meanwhile, cursing inwardly,

You're the real joke,

Fainting after doing a push-up?!

If you weren't last, should you wear a crown?!

Then announce to the world that you bought your way in?!

Thinking this, he immediately put on a flattering smile, "Second Young Master Lu, don't worry. It's just the beginning. As long as you get into the show, can't you still deal with Jian Li?"

"Don't forget, the shooting locations are all arranged by President Lu!"

Hearing this, Lu Yuanhang's expression softened slightly, and he nodded, "I believe my brother will handle it properly..."

To turn that bitch Jian Li into a public enemy!

And then kick him out of our sight forever!

In fact, my hatred for Jian Li has nothing to do with whether his mother was a mistress,

Or avenging a foster mother with no blood relation.

All this scheming is because of Lu Siqi.

Although he claims to hate Jian Li so much, wishing to tear him apart and make him suffer in hell.

In reality, every time Lu Siqi looks at him, his eyes are full of contradictions,

As if he might fall in love out of hate anytime...

No!

Lu Siqi can only be mine!

The position of Mrs. Lu can only be mine!

What is Jian Li?

Daring to compete with me?

I'll drain your blood eventually!

As his inner monologue deepened, Lu Yuanhang's pale face twisted into a sickly smile, "I'm looking forward to the start of filming."

Looking forward to crushing that ant...

Two days later, "The Lone Warrior" began as scheduled.

Claimed to be the first 24-hour non-stop adventure survival live broadcast, even the hotel gathering attracted hundreds of thousands of fans waiting eagerly.

The live chat was already flooding the screen even before any guests had arrived.

The debate about the last and second-to-last contestants continued for two days without reaching a conclusion.

"Isn't this unfair? Lu Yuanhang gets to participate even after fainting? What about the other contestants?"

"If Jian Li can, why can't Lu Yuanhang? Besides, this is a growth-oriented variety show. If every guest were already outstanding, what would be the point of watching?!"

"The previous commenter is right. Plus, didn't Lu Yuanhang clarify it himself? The production team gave him a chance to grow and become a true 'Lone Hero,' which is also the ultimate goal of this show, isn't it?!"

"Just hurry up and become a 'Lone Hero.' Stop eyeing others' blood. Anyone who can't handle it will be eliminated, no matter how much they cry."

"Is Jian Li your dad? Why are you defending him so much?!"

"I don't know if he's my dad, but he sure seems like Lu Yuanhang's dad, given how he keeps supplying blood nonstop!"

"..."

Putting down his phone, agent Li Lin patted Jian Li beside him with great satisfaction. "Finally, some people are speaking up for you. Give it your all in this variety show and turn around your weakling image. Aim to break five digits in followers!"

"Also," his voice paused, lowering, "keep your distance from Lu Yuanhang. Watch out for him trying to leech off you."

"Don't waste the weight you've gained by giving him more blood!"

Jian Li smiled as he looked out the window. "Don't worry, Lao Li."

"Other than slapping him until he bleeds, nothing else will happen."

Li Lin sighed deeply at his confident profile, hoping it would indeed be so.

The car pulled up at the hotel entrance, and Jian Li got out with his luggage.

The cameraman, who had been waiting, rushed over, intending to get a close-up shot. However, a voice clearly trying to steal the spotlight interrupted, "Brother Jian Li, what a coincidence! We arrived together!"

Hearing this, Jian Li lazily turned his head to see the two Lu brothers standing close together.

He immediately waved them away. "Don't talk to me."

Lu Yuanhang blinked innocently. "Is Brother Jian Li feeling unwell? You look a bit pale."

"No health issues," Jian Li said, turning his gaze away and walking into the hotel. "I just feel like throwing up seeing the two of you."

"Are you still my Brother Jian Li? Why are you treating me like this?" Lu Yuanhang feigned hurt, his slightly red eyes perfectly positioned towards the camera. Just as he was about to say more, a calm voice interrupted from ahead.

"I'm not Jian Li..."

Lu Yuanhang was taken aback. "Huh?"

"I am your dad."

The live chat exploded with laughter.

"See, I wasn't wrong; they are definitely father and son!"

"LOL, is this a family reunion scene? Father and son on the same stage?"
