Chapter 204: Killing the Chicken to Scare the Monkey

By noon, still wanted to stay in the hospital a little longer, but the doctor kicked him out citing a shortage of beds.

In reality, Gu Lang's condition was simply due to his body struggling to adjust after rapidly descending from high altitude. It wasn’t serious—just something he needed to endure for a while. Unfortunately, during the night, he had felt uncomfortable lying on his back and turned over to sleep face down, which worsened his breathing difficulty and landed him in the hospital.

The doctor, acting in his best interest, advised him to recuperate at home. But if he insisted on staying, the staff wouldn’t be so accommodating.

"Seriously, it’s not like I can’t pay for the bed!"

Even as they left the hospital and climbed into ’s car, Gu Lang was still grumbling under his breath.

"Enough already! First, we’ll pick up , then head to the company to take some promotional photos. After that, you go home and rest until I call. Don’t run around during this time!" Chen Bai instructed while driving.

"Hey, don’t say I didn’t warn you," Gu Lang raised an eyebrow and glanced at Chen Bai. "Don’t mention Huanhuan in front of Boss. If he hits you, don’t expect me to stop him."

Chen Bai: ...

Cursing inwardly about how much trouble one person and their pet could cause, Chen Bai frowned and asked, "Then what should I call it? Boss, just like you? Personally, I don’t care, but what about for external promotion? We need a unified name when recording VCRs."

"Promotion, huh..." Gu Lang rubbed his chin thoughtfully before suddenly realizing something was off.

"What the heck, Chen! Is this show inviting me or my Boss? You better explain!"

No one knew how Chen Bai managed to persuade Gu Lang, but karma struck swiftly, like a tornado.

That afternoon, when they arrived at , the employees were shocked to see their manager with a white mesh bag on his head, wrapped in bandages, looking utterly miserable.

This wasn’t from a car accident—it was ’s doing.

When they returned to the hotel, Wang Ping was already famished and furious, having cursed Gu Lang countless times in his mind. Upon seeing someone enter, in a fit of rage, he grabbed a thick glass cup from the coffee table and hurled it.

Gu Lang dodged as he opened the door, but Chen Bai, walking in behind him, took the full brunt of the flying glass, resulting in an immediate gash on his head.

Thus, after sending Gu Lang to the hospital in the morning, Chen Bai found himself being sent there again by noon.

Of course, even Wang Ping was startled by his own outburst, wondering why he had lost control so drastically. After pondering for a long time, he concluded it was due to hunger.

Wang Ping realized he couldn’t fully control this body. Some glitches remained unsolved: going berserk when hungry, unable to suppress anger when provoked by animals, or becoming mesmerized by beehives in the wild.

As a model youth of the new era, Wang Ping refused to admit to these flaws, attributing them instead to his soul’s resistance against being dominated, occasionally asserting its presence.

Regardless of his acknowledgment, in Chen Bai’s eyes, Wang Ping’s behavior was increasingly erratic. Thus, he diligently followed Gu Lang’s advice, calling him "Boss" repeatedly and avoiding the name "Huanhuan."

After leaving the hospital, they first fed Wang Ping and Little Four lunch, then headed to Douyu’s headquarters to record a pre-designed VCR segment.

Douyu’s grand plan aimed to stir up excitement around outdoor live streaming.

Following the success of and , they didn’t need to reinvent the wheel. The program was titled . To grab attention, Douyu intentionally added two female streamers, marketing it as a "5 men, 2 women survival challenge."

Initially, Gu Lang wasn’t interested in such shows. To him, these programs were merely staged performances in seemingly deserted islands. On camera, participants appeared miserable, but off-camera, a team catered to their every need—too fake for his taste.

However, upon seeing the participant list in Chen Bai’s office, Gu Lang’s perspective changed.

The first name on the list belonged to , a renowned outdoor streamer.

Unlike Gu Lang, who drove around aimlessly, Yang Xu was a true legend in the outdoor community and currently Douyu’s top outdoor channel star.

His shows thrived on authenticity and educational content. Each broadcast saw him venturing deep into remote wilderness or forests with nothing but his live-streaming equipment—or sometimes just a knife—and surviving primitively until he returned to civilization. His genuine approach garnered him a massive fanbase.

It was hard to say whether Gu Lang’s impulsive trip to was influenced by Yang Xu. But upon realizing he’d be co-streaming with such a seasoned outdoor expert, Gu Lang grew excited.

At this level, surely they wouldn’t resort to fakery both on and off-screen, right?

Leaving Douyu’s headquarters with a completely different attitude, Gu Lang hailed a taxi back to Hangzhou and called his mom along the way. By the time he arrived, someone had delivered his dad’s personal into his hands.

Wang Ping overheard everything and remained skeptical about whether his dad knew his car had changed ownership.

Upon returning to , Grandma was cooking dinner. Hearing Dahei bark and the sound of an engine, she stepped out just as Wang Ping hopped out of the car.

"Huanhuan! You ungrateful little ingrate, you actually came back!"

Wang Ping internally groaned. Grandma, your thinly veiled accusations are painfully obvious.

Before he could react, Grandma grabbed him by the neck and gave his little bottom two smacks.

Fine, now it’s not just pointing at monks to scold baldies; it’s killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

"Grandma, don’t hit him. He can’t come back on his own…" Gu Lang emerged holding Little Four, speaking earnestly.

Wang Ping face-pawed. "Grandma, I was wrong. Your intentions weren’t clear enough. You killed the chicken, but the monkey didn’t get it."

"Oh!"

Seeing another creature in Gu Lang’s arms, Grandma casually held Wang Ping by the neck and asked, "Whose dog did you bring home?"

"Woof~"

Dahei followed Grandma, joyfully barking and licking Wang Ping hanging by her side.

"Ah... Get away!"

Wang Ping pushed the dog’s face away, but his furry face betrayed his amusement.

Suddenly, Grandma exclaimed in disdain, "What wolf? Do you think I’m blind? This is clearly a Husky! How do you always get scammed whenever you go out? Are you stupid?"
