Seeing the crowd surrounding him with steel pipes, Gu Liyan trembled with fear. "You, you guys, don't do anything rash!"

The group raised the steel pipes, ready to strike. Gu Liyan instinctively closed his eyes, but after waiting for a long time, he felt no pain. When he opened his eyes, he saw Xuan Tiandao standing in front of him with a smile, while the group of people holding the steel pipes stood behind him.

"What do you mean by this?" Gu Liyan looked at Xuan Tian with a puzzled expression.

Xuan Tiandao laughed and said, "Hahaha, Gu Liyan, I always thought you were a warrior, but I never expected you would be afraid in the face of danger!"

Gu Liyan rolled her eyes. "Look at what you're saying. I'm powerless right now. Even if I were to unleash some potential in a critical moment, I wouldn't have any superpowers like the heroes I play in movies! Besides, I'm Mo Li, not Gu Liyan as you're talking about!"

Xuan Tiandao looked at Gu Liyan and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "It's been a long time. I never expected that the once unyielding little fox would become so long-winded! You've really impressed me!"

Gu Liyan sneered, "How many times have I told you? I am not the Gu Liyan you are talking about. I am Mo Li!"

"Since you say you are Mo Li, then I will let the whole world see how you, Mo Li, save yourself during the kidnapping!" Xuan Tiandao looked at Gu Liyan with ill intent.

Gu Liyan's face darkened. "What do you want to do?"

The bodyguards behind him brought over a camera and pointed it at Gu Liyan. Xuan Tiandao smiled and said, "You became a well-known star because of the media, so I'll give you a hand and make you famous again!"

"You want to livestream me kidnapping?! Are you crazy? I have countless fans, they'll definitely come to my rescue, and then you won't be able to escape either!" Gu Liyan shouted.

"Hehe, Gu Liyan, some things can be faked into real life, or real life into fake life!" Xuan Tiandao turned to the bodyguard and asked, "Is it done?"

"Alright, boss."

Xuan Tiandao smiled and looked at Gu Liyan. "When we arrived, there were five warehouse doors. The escape game lasts one hour. You need to escape from here within one hour. Of course, I will leave you some hints. If you can't get out within one hour—" Xuan Tiandao didn't say anything more, but left with his bodyguards.

In the morning, Mo Chen woke up feeling heavy and listless. He glanced at the time and realized it was almost 8 o'clock. "Zhang Wei, it's so late, why didn't you wake me up?"

Zhang Wei, the driver who was traveling with them, said something but received no response. When Mo Chen turned around, he found that Zhang Wei was nowhere to be seen, and even his luggage was gone!

Sensing something was wrong, he quickly dressed and went to find Gu Liyan and the other two. Arriving at Gu Liyan's door, he found it open and, without thinking, went inside…

Hua Baixian and Gu Tao were still asleep in bed, with a makeshift bed on the floor. It was obvious that Gu Liyan was sleeping on the floor, but there was no one there.

Mo Chen felt inexplicably uneasy and hurriedly woke Hua Baixian, "Hua Baixian, get up quickly, where is Xiao Li?"

Hua Baixian woke up groggily and was so startled when she saw Mo Chen come in that she quickly hugged the blanket tightly. "You, how did you get in?"

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me right now, where did Xiao Li go!" Mo Chen shouted urgently.

Gu Tao rubbed her eyes, awakened by Mo Chen's shout. "What's wrong, Uncle Mo Chen?"

"The driver and Xiao Li are both gone! I just glanced downstairs and the car drove away!" Mo Chen said anxiously.

"Maybe they went to buy breakfast?" Hua Baixian thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Li is such a grown-up, how could she be kidnapped!"

Mo Chen glanced at Gu Liyan's coat lying to the side and said anxiously, "How could he go out without a coat! Weren't you two together yesterday? How come you didn't know where he went?"

"I... I slept like a log yesterday... I don't even know how I got into bed!" Hua Baixian said with a wronged expression.

Mo Chen threw down Gu Liyan's coat and said angrily, "Get up and find someone right now! I'll go get the security footage from the boss!"

Mo Chen had just stepped out of his room when his phone rang. It was Gu Muqing calling. Without thinking much, he answered the phone, "Muqing, we can talk about it later. I have something urgent to attend to."

Gu Muqing's voice was anxious on the other end of the phone: "Mo Chen, watch the live broadcast quickly, my brother has been kidnapped!"

"What?!" Mo Chen hung up the phone and saw the live stream channel online, his hand trembling with shock.

The warehouse where Gu Liyan was located was constantly being refrigerated, and the temperature had reached 0 degrees Celsius. He was wearing a shirt and tied to the cross, and his face was pale from the cold, and he was shivering all over.

"I can't wait any longer. I have to do something, or I really will die..." Gu Liyan thought to himself, trembling.

The rope only bound Gu Liyan's arms; his feet were still free. The knot was a slipknot around his shoulders. Gu Liyan thought for a moment, then shuffled his feet off, taking off his shoes and socks…

Seeing Gu Liyan's behavior on his phone screen, Mo Chen yelled in panic, "Idiot! Are you trying to freeze to death?!"

In the interactive section below, someone actually started commenting:

"Why does the protagonist of this escape room game look so much like Mo Li?!"

"It really is! When did Mo Li accept the invitation to an escape room game?"

"It seems quite cold in here, why did you take your shoes off?"

Gu Liyan lifted her right foot and placed it on her shoulder, carefully approaching the knot on her shoulder and slowly pulling it with her toes—

"My goodness! I had no idea my Mo Li was so flexible!"

"How come we didn't know he had ever practiced dance!"

"My Li is so outstanding! Look at that slender waist!"

"Why have I noticed how thin Mo Li has become! Look at her, she doesn't have much meat on her bones!"
