As the trending topic was brewing, the TND members at the scene had already surrounded An Zai and the others, examining them closely.

Especially Xiao Yingyi, Wei Mingzhe, and Mo Jinghai—who suddenly found themselves flooded with those strange feelings they'd initially brushed off.

Xiao Yingyi frowned. "So, the reason the 'grandma's' voice was so rough back then was because it was actually An Zai..."

An Zai chimed in enthusiastically, "Of course! You'd have recognized my voice right away, so I made my voice extra hoarse and spoke in a dialect. You didn't catch on, right?"

Wei Mingzhe looked at him, half amused, "So that sprained ankle was fake too? I thought something felt off when I touched it."

Gong Jiayu lifted the legs of his pants. "We were tight on time, and I even asked Qi-ge why he was putting makeup on both legs. He said he was afraid someone might check the other leg right away."

"Turns out he was right. Wei-ge, you did go straight for the other leg! I was sweating bullets, especially when you tried to touch it!" Gong Jiayu complained.

He pulled his pants higher in his excitement, revealing his knee.

Everyone saw that beneath his fair knee, his shin was flawlessly transformed into an elderly, weathered appearance, as if some magic had aged it.

Even the live broadcast camera zoomed in for a close-up of Gong Jiayu's leg.

[Wow, this is incredible!]

[The camera is so close, yet I can't see any flaws! If his knee weren't showing, I'd swear they hired an actual old man!]

[How on earth did they do this?]

[Qi-ge, you're amazing...]

.....

Mo Jinghai scratched his head with a somewhat bashful smile. "No wonder I thought the 'grandpa' had a surprisingly fit body, with muscles and everything!"

The comment section exploded with laughter.

[Haha, Hai-ge, didn't you think to question that?]

[A 70-year-old grandpa with muscles, but twists his ankle while walking in the park? Not suspicious at all, Hai-ge?]

[Ah, but in the heat of the moment, it's hard to think straight.]

An Zai laughed, "Hai-ge, I nearly panicked when you picked up Xiao Yu! I thought for sure you'd see through us, but you didn't notice anything..."

After their interrogation, Director Lin cleared his throat. "An Zai, Lou Yuxing, Gong Jiayu, want to share your master plan?"

An Zai exchanged glances with his teammates, then proudly stepped forward. "We decided early on that our targets would be Xiao-ge and Wei-ge, because neither of them has much experience interacting with elderly people..."

Xiao Yingyi and Wei Mingzhe looked at each other and sighed. They'd both left home young and didn't even see their parents much, let alone seniors.

"With them as our targets, it'd be hard for them to see through our disguise. And Xiao Xing pretending to be a girl asking for help lowered your guard even more, using your kindness to lure you in."

At this point, An Zai suddenly grew serious. "To the audience watching this show: today's prank was just for fun, but as you can see, an elderly person or a young girl can easily make people lower their guard. So, girls, if you're alone and someone asks you for help, please be cautious, whether it's an elderly person, a pregnant woman, or a child!"
