Chapter 185 The Child Left in the Castle

Zhu Yanlong's face turned green, he bit the bread hard, and squeezed out a word from between his teeth.

"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang. I'm in great shape and can handle a month of eating only vegetarian food!"

This boaster, look at his muscles bulging like balloons. If he gets more inflated, Jiang Ning is worried that Zhu Yanlong's muscles will deflate.

In order to prevent the irritation in his eyes from affecting his appetite in the morning, Jiang Ning blinked and said nothing, then continued to slurp the noodles with his head down.

Jiang Qing looked Zhu Yanlong up and down and saw that he had obviously gained muscle by taking protein powder, and his eyes said it without any concealment.

Can this crispy muscle really withstand it?

Zhu Yanlong was very angry.

Unfortunately, neither of these two female guests was easy to deal with. One was the CEO of a large company, and the other held the system in his hands. They were both people Zhu Yanlong couldn't afford to offend. He was so angry that he couldn't even eat his breakfast.

After breakfast, the guests’ itinerary for the day was to explore a castle.

Jiang Ning and the others received cards from the director. In addition to finding several items hidden in the castle, they also specifically introduced the origin and history of the castle.

"It's a ghost castle, with witches and ghosts. Isn't it similar to the haunted house in Flower Country?" Song Yao said, touching his chin.

Others also thought it was no different from a haunted house, but it was a bit strange that the Rose Kingdom, which claimed to advocate science, would rather abandon this large castle than use it, and was obviously afraid of these rumors.

The citizens of their country have often laughed at the legends about ghosts and gods in the Flower Country.

"If ghosts really exist, we can see what foreign ghosts look like." Jiang Qing said with interest.

Jiang Ning also wanted to see what was different about the haunted house here, so she got in the car with the other guests and headed towards the haunted castle.

The ghost castle is in the suburbs. Jiang Ning and others watched as the road became more and more desolate. Passing by rows of trees, they could faintly hear the sound of crows, which created a rather scary atmosphere.

The car gradually stopped in front of the castle. The guests got off and looked at the castle in front of them, which seemed to be magnificent in the past but now looked gray and dilapidated.

"It's so beautiful! If it's renovated, it will definitely be a castle with a fairy-tale atmosphere." Jiang Qing's face was full of regret.

Everyone walked in with their cards. When they reached the hall, Jiang Ning noticed a bottle of Coke on the long table.

She walked over and saw that there was not even much dust on the Coke can, and realized that other people besides them had been in the castle in recent days.

"Could it be left by someone who came here to explore?" Fan Ming picked up the Coke can and looked at it, then raised his eyes to look at the interior of the castle which was covered in dust.

"Whatever, come on, let's go find things separately. The task requires that the guests must look for things separately. The director is still making things difficult for us." Jiang Qing complained to the director in dissatisfaction with the camera and picked up a card at random.

After the others received the cards, they put on pagers that allowed them to communicate with each other and went out to look for things.

Jiang Ning separated from the other guests and went up to the third floor. The castle was really huge, and the corridor was also very long. However, it looked a bit dark at first glance, and coupled with the sound of dripping water coming from nowhere, it felt like entering a ghost's home.

The director really has a bad taste in letting the guests complete the tasks separately in such a place.

Jiang Ning lowered her head to look at the card. What she was looking for was the witch's hat.

Putting the card in his pocket, Jiang Ning pushed open the doors one by one to look for the person. After searching six or seven rooms, he still couldn't find any clues. However, he saw a white coat and an injection in one of the rooms.

I remembered that the introduction of the castle mentioned that this castle had a history of being used as a hospital, and it was the kind used for cruel human experiments.

Jiang Ning looked at the needle with red and black blood on it and asked his friends on the pager if anyone was looking for a white coat and an injection.

The director only said that they had to complete the task separately, but didn't say that they couldn't help each other.

After asking several guests and finding out these were not what they were looking for, Fan Ming responded.

"What I'm looking for is Dr. Lin's work ID. Teacher Jiang, please help me see if there's one in the room."

This was a small matter, so Jiang Ning didn't refuse. She put the pager in her bag, picked up the white coat that was casually thrown on the table, shook off the dust, and searched her clothes and pockets, but there was no trace of her work ID.

Jiang Ning searched the room again and finally found a work badge in the crack of the bed. After wiping off the dust, she could barely make out the name on the faded document. It was definitely Lin.

I messaged Fan Ming back and received sincere thanks from him. After asking for her location, he said he would come to find her right away.

After finding the item, Jiang Ning still couldn't find the witch hat she was looking for, so she went to other rooms to continue searching.

When passing by the bathroom, Jiang Ning heard the sound of dripping water and someone sobbing. He paused and stuck his head inside to follow the sound. After seeing a small figure sitting on the ground, he frowned, returned to the room he had found before, picked up the baseball bat and walked in.

When we walked inside, we saw two tied-up children on the ground. The girl had red cheeks and very chapped lips, and she looked in very bad condition. The boy was not in much better condition, with his mouth still taped.

Seeing someone coming in, the blond boy Shiro hurriedly made a weak sound to ask for help.

Jiang Ning walked over quickly, tore off the tape on Xi Luo's mouth, and untied the ropes for the two of them, then heard him pleading.

"Sister, save my sister."

There was an obvious cry in Shiro's voice, as if he hadn't had water for a long time, and the sound he spoke was a little unclear.

"Don't talk, drink some water first." Jiang Ning took out a bottle of water from her bag and handed it to him. She then touched the girl's forehead, which was so hot that it was scalding.

She quickly picked up the little girl and said to Shiro who was drinking water anxiously and almost choked.

"Follow me."

Shilo was afraid of being left behind and had to continue staying in this horrible place. He held onto the water and pounced on his short legs, hurrying to catch up with Jiang Ning.

On the way downstairs, the three of them happened to meet Fan Ming who came to look for Jiang Ning. Seeing the two children, he looked confused, but realizing that both children were not well, he didn't ask any more questions and picked up Xiro.

This action startled Xi Luo. When he saw Fan Ming talking to Jiang Ning, he realized that they knew each other, and his tense body relaxed.

The two children were brought downstairs, and the program crew, who noticed the situation here through the camera, also rushed over.

After examining the little girl, the doctor gave her an injection and applied a cooling patch. He only breathed a sigh of relief when her temperature dropped.

The child's condition stabilized, and the director went to ask Shiro.

"This castle is in the suburbs, far away from the residential area. How did you two kids get here?"

In fact, the director was more curious about why they were tied up and thrown into the bathroom, and it seemed like they stayed there for more than a day.

Looking at the clothes on the brother and sister, which seemed to be custom-made, the director, who is good at writing scripts, imagined a wonderful scene in which aristocratic children kidnapped their brothers' children as threats in order to fight for the family property.

"We came here to explore with our friends, but we were accidentally targeted by bad guys. They stole our valuables and tied us up here." Shiro said in a hoarse voice, holding the mineral water bottle tightly in his little hands.

The director's eyes swept across the valuable smart watch on his wrist, and he did not expose Hiro's words, but said with a smile.

"Oh, then do you remember your home phone number? We'll contact your family to come pick you up."

Xi Luo stopped talking. The blond and blue-eyed little guy stared at Jiang Ning who was chewing candy to replenish her energy in the back. He ran past the director and came to her, raising his head.

"If you send me back, I will ask my father to reward you for saving me."

To appear more serious, Hiro added another sentence.

"My father can satisfy whatever you want."
