"The money... is gone."

Jiang Sheng's crying voice sounded in the hotel lobby.

The air froze for a few seconds.

Different expressions appear on different faces.

There was shock, there was doubt, there was schadenfreude.
Elena was the first to react. She frowned, as if she didn't quite believe it. She patted Jiang Sheng's shoulder reassuringly: "Little sister, don't be afraid, and look for it carefully."

Jiang Sheng repeated the rummaging action as if she had received an order, but her trembling hands revealed the panic and helplessness in her heart.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for her result.

Ye Zhen was standing beside her, seeing that she had searched three times but still couldn't find it, she finally confirmed that the one thousand pounds she earned today was indeed missing.

She frowned, closed her eyes and began to think about the process of money passing through the hands of several people.

After coming out of the bookstore, she handed over the reward from Bob to Jiang Sheng.
The three met in a coffee shop, and Elena also handed over the proceeds from her street performances to Jiang Sheng.

"Huh? Didn't you say that your team earned a thousand pounds? Why didn't you take out a hundred pounds now?"

It sounded like a joke, but it actually implied a mocking voice, Yang Luoer folded his arms, with a teasing expression on his face, looking at the bewildered Jiang Sheng like watching a play.

Ye Hao turned sideways, blocking the sight of others, grabbed Jiang Sheng's hand, and said calmly: "Jiang Sheng, when was the last time you saw money?"

Jiang Sheng was taken aback for a moment, then raised his eyes, and met Ye Zhen's encouraging gaze, and her warm warmth came from his palm, Jiang Sheng gradually calmed down, and began to try to recall Ye Zhen's words.

"The last time. It should be in the car."

Jiang Sheng held Ye Zhen's hand tightly, as if grabbing a life-saving straw: "I counted the money in the car, and then put it in the bag. I remember this very clearly."

"In the car." Ye Zhen narrowed her eyes slightly, and said in a deep thought, "The money disappeared during the time when I got off the car and arrived at the hotel."

"What?" Before Jiang Sheng could react, Ye Zhen turned her head and said to Du Ronghua in a deep voice: "Director, I request to call out the surveillance camera at the entrance of the hotel. Our team's money may have been stolen."

Hearing this, Yang Luoer covered her mouth and looked at Ning Xuan with a smile: "Stole it? Is it true or not? Could it be that I didn't earn a single pound?"

Ning Xuan pursed her lips, and the resentment on her face just now disappeared, and she stood beside her as if she was watching a play.

Only Xue Chen frowned, and called Yang Luoer in a low voice: "Okay, don't say a few words, isn't it messy enough if you don't see it?"

Yang Luoer secretly rolled her eyes, ignoring Xue Chen.

Du Ronghua, who was standing in front, knew the current situation of Ye Zhen's group. She paused for a moment, resting her chin with one hand, as if considering whether Ye Zhen's request was reasonable.

Just when Ye Zhen thought she would agree, Du Ronghua said bluntly: "There is no need to adjust the monitoring."

Above her protruding cheekbones, two eyes shone shrewdly: "Since it was your own fault, you should bear it yourself."

"Next, the group that did not complete the task will be punished..."

Ye Zhen lowered her face and interrupted directly: "Director Du's words are too arbitrary, besides, as long as the monitoring is called out, it is entirely possible to get back the lost money."

"Ye Zhen..." Du Ronghua walked to Ye Zhen's side, squinting his eyes as a warning: "Pay attention to your attitude."

"The money has been lost, as long as you accept the punishment like Ning Xuan and his group, isn't it justified for you to waste everyone's time?" The light tone was full of deterrence.

Ye Zhen raised her chin, and looked directly at Du Ruohua without backing down, her cold and dark eyes seemed to be able to see through all calculations and plots: "It's just a monitoring, is it necessary for Director Du to go online like this?"

"Our team worked hard all day to earn this money. We can't just lose it, right?"

Elena's face was very ugly. This was her first day of recording, and she did not expect this to happen.

Regardless of Du Ronghua's impatient expression, she said firmly and forcefully: "Director, I agree with Ye Zhen's idea, please make sure to adjust the monitoring to help us get back the lost money."

With a sullen face, Du Ronghua could only watch helplessly as the two sang together in front of him.

She half-closed her eyes and looked at the two of them, and she gradually had a calculation in her heart.

Elena is not like Ye Zhen, she is not controllable, and she has no control in her own hands. This time, she was invited by the investor, and the leaders above pay more attention to her. If she offends her, I'm afraid...

Du Ronghua weighed it for a while, and finally compromised. She looked at Ye Zhen blankly, and said coldly, "Since you all want to watch it, then I will satisfy your request."

"But I have something to say first, if you still fail to complete the task after you find the money, you will still be punished by the program team."

Ye Zhen said lightly: "Since it is according to the rules, I have no objection."

Du Ronghua walked to the front desk and asked the staff for the surveillance video from an hour ago.

Jiang Sheng stood behind Elena, his face full of self-blame and uneasiness.

Seeing her anxious appearance, Ye Zhen felt a little unbearable in her heart, and she rarely comforted her: "As long as you don't lose it outside, you can get it back."

"It's not like I said, I can lose all of this. It seems that their teammate doesn't seem to be very good."

Ning Xuan said to Yang Luoer nonchalantly, her voice was not too loud, but it was enough for everyone to hear.

Xie Huan, who was still angry in his heart, stared at her coldly: "Ning Xuan, please take a look at yourself before telling others."

"He has a big temper and little ability, and he will always look unforgiving."

As soon as these words came out, the originally stalemate atmosphere immediately became tense, Yang Luoer quickly stopped Ning Xuan, to prevent her from doing anything irrational in a fit of anger.

Ning Xuan, despite the fact that the camera was still recording, smiled angrily: "Xie Huan, please make it clear that I am your teammate."

"What do you mean by choking me for our competitors now?"

Xie Huan pursed his lips, knowing that there was no reason to speak with Ning Xuan, so he simply closed his mouth.

"Okay, let's not say a few words, let's see what the monitoring is all about."
