An exorbitantly-priced ginseng worth 50 million! The netizens were envious, jealous and filled with bitter resentment when they saw this!

Some people are just so lucky, they join a program for fun and end up digging up a valuable ginseng! And the crew also exposed that Zhou Zekai wanted to build a road for the village. This made the media compliment him. Except, among such praises, there are bound to be those who will gossip. For example, some stated that since the ginseng came from the villagers’ mountain, Zhou Zekai should return it to them. These tens of millions are enough for the villagers to make a fortune yet here he was, being so insincere and building a road. What was the point? After all, this ginseng had been dug out of their mountain…

Of course, the people who say such things were also considered shameless by many netizens. After all, there are some people in the world who think that others owe them. Even if one wins a prize, they must have a share—as if it was only natural to divvy up a portion to them.

Due to the construction of the road, many villagers rushed back to help. However, the villagers did not expect that after the media exposed the matter of the ginseng, Ming'an Village ushered in true outlaws. In the face of huge profit, some lost all human nature.

In the evening, Zhou Zekai bid the television crew and Tang Bingyu good night and went to bed with Yang Le. Yang Le was very happy recently because he heard the Village Chief uncle say that once the road is built, the villagers will be able to prosper. If so, then his father will be able to stay in the village and work. This way he can see his father anytime he wants. On top of that, he can go to school now!

"Zhou-ge

, it's really so good that you could come here!"

The child didn’t know how to show his gratitude. Instead, he kept exclaiming how great it was. When those bright and innocent eyes looked at Zhou Zekai, the latter felt that this kid was super innocent. No matter where the child was from, they all possessed innocent and naive childhoods. In their naive world, everything was so beautiful.

"I'm also very happy that I could come here." Zhou Zekai rubbed the kid’s head, his voice soft. He did like kids most of the time.

After they exchanged a few more words, the two fell asleep. However, Zhou Zekai had always been a light sleeper. Sometime after they had fallen asleep, there was a sound by the entrance, the kind where the door shook. This creaking sound makes people feel it was sort of frightening against the quiet night.

Surveying the locations of the other cameras installed in the dark room, Zhou Zekai took out the fruit knife that he had stored in his schoolbag and gripped it in his hand. It was not that he was too sensitive, but it was the middle of the night and the door outside was treated like this by others. Obviously it wasn’t the production team. Therefore, even under circumstances where there were cameras present, there might still be bad guys around……

Except…he wondered how Tang Bingyu was doing. Frowning and furrowing his brow, Zhou Zekai decided to check on her later.

Feeling that Yang Le was sleeping so comfortably beside him, Zhou Zekai sighed in his heart. And then he heard the door click as it was pushed open, followed by a hushed voice.

"Zhao Wu, you said that the kid is in this room? We better not have found the wrong room." A man asked the person next to him in a low tone. This made Zhou Zekai even more concerned, he did not know why these people were here.

"No doubt about it. I specifically had my mother-in-law come here earlier today to inquire. Not only does this kid have the good luck of digging up a ginseng, his family is also very wealthy. As long as we tie him up, there's no way his family wouldn't return the ginseng right? That belongs to our village, it should be given to us. What right do these city folks have to take it away?"

The voice of the other person was a bit sharp. No matter how much he tried to suppress it, it was difficult to modify its ear-piercing tone.

At this point, Zhou Zekai understood their motives. These two came for the ginseng. The people outside probably heard the news and returned to the village when the production team exposed the matter of the ginseng to the public. Originally, they were probably planning to steal the ginseng. However, after they learned that the ginseng was already taken away, they thought of kidnapping him for the ginseng as ransom……Truly simple-minded!

He's currently participating in a show, you know! In other words, everything that happens now will be recorded by the cameras. These two will most likely sit in jail, for sure!

As Zhou Zekai was contemplating what to do, he felt a small gleam against his eyelids. They’ve probably turned on the lights. Consecutively, he heard their voices again.

"It really is this room! It’s this kid, right?" The younger-sounding voice exclaimed, then laughed vulgarly.

"The children from the city have such good looks. San Zi, according to my mother-in-law, there’s also a young lass from the city in this house! If I could play around with her for a bit, I can brag about it for the rest of my life! I heard that the lasses from the city are fine-skinned and tender, that taste must be delicious…¹ "

[¹TLN: This is all sexual context. No actual cannibalism involved! ]

"Goddamnnit! What are you thinking of! We’re doing this for the money! Don’t you dare act on those crooked desires! Forget about the girl, even this youngster, you shouldn’t touch a hair on his head. We’re tying him up for the money. Once we get the money, we’ll let him go. By the time we get the money and go along our merry way, what kind of women would you not be able to have?”

The man with a sharp voice stopped the other man’s fantasies, and slowly approached Zhou Zekai. Fortunately, Zhou Zekai liked to sleep on the inner part of the bed. Although they were close to Zhou Zekai, they still have to consider how to capture him without making a commotion.

Zhou Zekai's grip tightened on the fruit knife in his hand. He can’t wait any longer. If he continues to wait, he will only become passive. So after making up his mind, he suddenly opened his eyes right when the two men wanted to make a move, scaring them. He swiftly sprung up from the bed, the fruit knife in his hand emitting a cold flash under the light.

"Don’t move!!!"

Shouting at the two, Zhou Zekai stood to the side. Compared to the two men with nothing on them, he seemed to have a better chance. At least he had a fruit knife in his hand.

The two men were stunned, then their faces turned vicious. They had already become unscrupulous for money.

"Get him!!!"

The man with a sharp voice roared! He is a thin man, his face that looked like dead bark seemed especially ferocious.

The other person heard the voice and hurriedly lunged towards Zhou Zekai.

Zhou Zekai knew that with the cameras in this room, it would be troublesome if he went overboard in his self-defense. Thus he hollered for help while resisting the two men, "Help! There are bad guys here! Help!!!"

The houses in the rural village are not soundproof. Zhou Zekai’s voice was transmitted through the wall to the television crew who were sleeping next door. Now when they heard Zhou Zekai’s voice, they were immediately startled awake. Almost instinctively, they put on their clothes and ran to his room. When they got there, they saw his room lit in bright yellow light. When they arrived at the door and saw the two men and Zhou Zekai in a scuffle, the television crew were shocked out of their wits……
