The mentors, the host, and even the camera crew were all stunned.

Ji Xizhi’s question… what did it mean? Aren’t we a love show? Although, before Ji Xizhi arrived, Director Zhou did mention wanting to touch on marriage law, maybe to hit a trending topic!

But wasn’t this twist a bit too drastic? It felt like we suddenly switched to a legal program next door!

The live chat room was equally confused.

[I think I’m having a ringing in my ears, what did Ji Xizhi just say… Bigamy? Or marriage?]

[I’ve read a lot of books, don’t try to fool me, bigamy and marriage differ by one character, but the difference in meaning is huge!]

[I need a moment, really need to, let’s summarize, is Ji Xizhi implying that the male guest number 4, is already! Married!!!]

Among everyone, male guest number 4 was obviously the most flustered, but he only panicked for a moment before quickly regaining composure. He picked up the conversation with Ji Xizhi, smiling as he said, “Teacher Ji, your legal knowledge is truly impressive. I’ve learned more than I knew before, thank you~”

With that relaxed remark from the fourth male guest, the tense atmosphere dissipated significantly.

Female guest number 2’s previously astonished expression eased up quite a bit.

But Su Mengtian, the head of the shippers, couldn’t let the topic slide past so easily. After she came to her senses, she seemed more nervous than even the fourth male guest.

She asked seriously, “Zhi Zhi, what did you mean just now? Are you saying he…”

Su Mengtian couldn’t say the last two words.

Ji Xizhi continued, “He’s not my fan.”

Su Mengtian: “?”

Is that what matters here???

“No, I mean, is male guest number 4… married?”

Ji Xizhi nodded, “Yes.”

With a definitive answer, everyone in the conference room was momentarily stunned.

Qiu Lin instinctively caught the main point, “How did you know he’s married?”

Ji Xizhi raised the resume information in her hand, raising her eyebrows as she said, “I did my research beforehand.”

After agreeing to participate in “Bumping Love,” the production team sent her the personal information of the show’s guests, intending for Ji Xizhi to understand these guests. After all, how could she comment on love as a love mentor without knowing them?

Indeed, Ji Xizhi thoroughly researched each guest.

Including their marital status.

Qiu Lin’s pupils shook: “???”

Your understanding is way too detailed! More thorough than the program’s background check!

Qiu Lin wanted to continue questioning, but before she could speak again, the voice of the fourth male guest on the other end of the call turned cold.

“Teacher Ji, with you saying things like that, I really… don’t know how to explain! If I were married, how could I possibly join a love show? The program team invites guests with checks, right~”

Up until now, the fourth male guest still wore a smile, but beneath that smile lay an unfathomable coldness.

He specifically emphasized the program team’s checks, reminding Ji Xizhi that all the program’s guests passed their checks. If she spoke out publicly, she would bring trouble to the program, and it would be better for everyone to let it go.

But…

Ji Xizhi simply refused to let it go easily.

She casually pulled the conversation back to the main point, precisely addressing the issue: “Whether someone married can join a love show depends on the contract you signed with the program. My question was about your intention to marry female guest number 2 and the matter of property division within marriage.”

Upon hearing this, the fourth male guest could barely suppress his anger, “Teacher Ji, please stop speaking nonsense! Your program wants to boost stars for effect, but you can’t smear ordinary guests like this!”

With just a few words exchanged between Ji Xizhi and the fourth male guest, the entire live broadcast room felt the intensity rise again.

[What a bombshell! Really married, then this is huge!]

[At first, I didn’t think there was a problem with the fourth male guest, thought it was for show effect, but with what he’s saying now, is it a hint to threaten Ji Xizhi not to speak recklessly?]

[It’s a bit subtle, I think he’s getting desperate! I’m going to dig for more dirt~]

Director Zhou had just gone to buy trending topics, only to come back and see Ji Xizhi revealing the “married” bombshell in the conference room.

“Who’s married? Which guest is married! Who brought in this guest!!” Director Zhou nearly fainted.

The staff looked bewildered, “No… No idea! I think it was brought in by the associate director!”

Director Zhou rolled his eyes, cursing the associate director a hundred thousand times in his mind, before remembering he needed to notify Ji Xizhi, “Quick… Contact Ji Xizhi, tell her not to speak anymore!!!”

But it was too late the moment he finished speaking.

Ji Xizhi continued her confrontation with the fourth male guest, and not only that, she also turned to the program staff asking for the contract.

“Hello, is the contract between the program team and the guest available for me to see?”

“Is there a single status requirement and breach of contract clause? If there is, the process for a lawsuit can be initiated, I can provide related evidence…”

The fourth male guest watched as Ji Xizhi held up a stack of resume documents, and felt his scalp go numb. Remembering Ji Xizhi’s prowess that he had seen in multiple trending topics, and now seeing Ji Xizhi looking so confident, his previously feigned calmness and composure crumbled completely.

He began to feel guilty.

“Doesn’t the show’s contract exclude divorcees from counting as single? What’s wrong with divorcees pursuing true love! These days who doesn’t have a few exes, should people be condemned for having exes?”

Ji Xizhi paused, asking with pinpoint accuracy, “So, has your marriage been dissolved?”

The fourth male guest suddenly paused in mid-sentence.

Within those seconds of his pause, all attempts to defend himself became flimsy.

From the moment Ji Xizhi raised her question, the live audience had already started to dig into the fourth male guest’s past.

“Bumping Love” was just a love show, featuring ordinary people, only just exposed to the public, not someone any would care to investigate thoroughly. Anyone who appeared on the show was believed to have been checked by the program team. Most shippers were absorbed in the dreamy atmosphere of the 24/7 love, without thinking about the possibility of being married.

It wasn’t until now that people began combing through the fourth male guest’s Weibo for clues.

They really found his wedding photos.

[Damn! Really a scumbag, how did the program review him! Ugh~~~]

[Good at pretending, when “Bumping Love” started inviting guests half a year ago, he cleared all his Weibo posts. The wedding photos were found from his friend’s follow list, what a schemer!]

[Someone’s come out with evidence, saying he’s not even divorced! I’m about to puke…]

The other love mentors in the conference room had all turned to mush, never having encountered such a situation in the many dating shows they had participated in.

Su Mengtian among them was the most devastated. She genuinely supported the 24 couple, even participated in their fan discussions.

Now her couple hadn’t even officially announced, and it was completely shattered.

Su Mengtian: Wants to cry, wants to puke, also wants to hit someone!

There was silence in the conference room, everyone was looking at each other about this situation.

Only Ji Xizhi remained as if she were seriously engaged in a connection game, saying, “I’ve finished my questions!”

Indeed, she was seriously asking because to be accurate, the fourth male guest was only talking, nothing had been confirmed with the second female guest yet, he hadn’t committed any unlawful acts.

Ji Xizhi managed to rein in the show’s fluttering process, bringing it back, and turned again to cue the host.

The host’s face was stiff, “Then… please have guest numbers 2 and 4 light up again…?”

As he spoke to the end, even his own voice wavered.
