Zhu Jinzhao has a poor sense of judgment, but she unfortunately transmigrated into a novel about the fierce battle between a real and a fake daughter. She became the fake daughter who was innocent,...
The three people hid under the bed at the same time. The photographer left them with two small cameras and then carried the heavy equipment out of the room.
"Five, four, three, two, one!"
"Countdown complete, hunt begins!"
At the assistant director's command, Fang Lei, Ning Shi, and Li Weiwan immediately emerged from the storage room and began searching the building aggressively.
"They've started looking for people. From now on, none of us should speak. If anything happens, send a WeChat message," Zhu Jinzhao said in a whisper.
—Okay, I understand.
Shi Jing was very obedient and immediately sent the WeChat message as Zhu Jinzhao requested.
If you can't see me: put your phone on silent.
Shi Jing: It's all set up. By the way, have you thought of a way to cause trouble for Su Ying's group?
"Can't see me: I've got it."
Time Mirror: What is it?
"Can't see me: Once Fang Lei and the others enter suite number one, the two of us will call Su Ying and Mingyue. We'll call them via WeChat and mobile phone."
Shi Jing: That's a good idea, but what if they also put their phones on silent?
Can't see me: Let's take a gamble. If they mute it, I'll think of another way.
Shi Jing: Reliable, then I'll leave it to you, Grand Strategist of Chaochao.
You can't see me: (Emoji: Dragon Yeah)
Shi Jing smiled and looked at the direction from which the light from the phone screen on her right came from, letting out a silent whisper.
Oh dear, the space under the bed is too small; I can't even see Jinzhao and Shijing's WeChat chat anymore.
What are they talking about? I feel like my phone screen is about to spark from all the tapping... Could they be confessing their feelings to each other?!
[Hey, do you guys think Jinzhao and Shijing will be discovered?]
I bet they won't find out, because from the outside, the space under the bed looks completely sealed off; the other guests would probably all think there's no way anyone could hide there.
[I agree with the comment above; a quick slap on the butt shows agreement.]
In order not to miss any corners, Fang Lei's group also adopted the method of searching for people in groups of three.
Unlike Zhu Jinzhao, they started their search from the fourth floor.
The villa's rooms were well soundproofed. The three of them were moving things and talking on the fourth floor, but Zhu Jinzhao and Shi Jing, who were under the bed, didn't hear much of the noise.
...
The silence was eerily profound, broken only by the tense breathing of the two of them and the muffled thumping of their hearts in their chests.
Suddenly, Zhu Jinzhao's phone screen lit up; it was a WeChat message from Shi Jing.
— Chaochao, they are still on the fourth floor.
I hope you'll pick up your phone and reply today.
Yes. But I think they should be able to come down soon, because there's probably no one on the fourth floor.
Shi Jing: Your "feeling" is completely correct, because they seem to have already gone downstairs.
Can't see me: Our room is in the far corner. If nothing unexpected happens, they will go to room number one to look for someone first, and prepare to call Su Ying and Ming Yue.
Shi Jing: We're just waiting for the Grand Strategist's instructions.
Zhu Jinzhao's guess was correct; after Fang Lei and his group went down to the third floor, they did indeed enter Suite Number One first.
At this moment, Su Ying was hiding in her walk-in closet, anxiously waiting for the hunter to enter.
Although she was found by Zhu Jinzhao in the first round while hiding inside the trench coat, the hunters had changed in the second round. She had a feeling that Ning Shi and Fang Lei would never guess that the trench coat was also a hiding place. Moreover, Ning Shi and the others had no grudge against her, so if they couldn't find her after one or two attempts, they certainly wouldn't stay in the dressing room like Zhu Jinzhao did.
Therefore, after much consideration, she finally chose to wear a trench coat.
"Suite number one is so big, it must be really comfortable to stay in."
Fang Lei's voice rang out in the living room, and Su Ying, who was wearing a trench coat, instantly held her breath.
Ning Shi: "Let's start looking. One of you look in the living room and on the balcony, and the other comes with me into the room."
"Let me go into the room with you," Fang Lei said. "The room is a bit hard to find, so Brother Li can just search the living room and balcony from the outside."
“Okay.” Li Weiwan had no objections.
Once the division of labor was determined, the three of them immediately began to take action.
"Lei Zi, where do you think they might be hiding in the room?" Ning Shi asked curiously as she searched.
Fang Lei thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "I think there's a 50% chance they're hiding in the room and a 50% chance they're hiding outside."
Ning Shi frowned briefly: "So..."
“So I think we don’t need to get stuck in the room. If we’ve searched all the possible hiding places and still haven’t found anyone, we can leave immediately and look for another place,” Fang Lei suggested.
Ning Shi thought about his words carefully for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Fang Lei raised an eyebrow smugly: "Hmm."
As they spoke, the two had already found the walk-in closet from the bedroom. The closet was spacious, but it didn't hold many things, and there were very few hidden corners where one could hide.
"There's so little stuff in here, it doesn't seem like it'll be easy to hide anything."
As she said this, Ning Shi was standing in front of the trench coat that was attached to the edge.
A clear and melodious female voice hit her head, and Su Ying, who was wearing a trench coat, almost instantly caught her breath.
"Da, da, da..."
"The wardrobe doors are mostly open, so I can tell whether there's anyone inside just by looking at them."
Accompanied by light footsteps, Fang Lei's clear male voice followed Ning Shi as she swept past her trench coat.
Su Ying closed her eyes tightly, her heart pounding like a drum, each beat striking her fragile eardrums.
"Wow, are they all this vigilant? None of them are hiding in the room."
Fang Lei passed by the trench coat again, and Su Ying felt that two-thirds of the breath he exhaled when he spoke touched her eyelids.
She clenched her fists tightly in nervousness, her body trembled, and goosebumps rose all over her body.
Fortunately, neither of them suspected anything about the trench coat.
"There shouldn't be anyone in here, let's go out."
After thoroughly searching every possible hiding place in the dressing room, and finding no one there, Fang Lei nudged Ning Shi on the shoulder, signaling her that she could leave.
"Okay." Ning Shi obediently stopped insisting on the idea and immediately followed Fang Lei as they turned and left the dressing room.
As the scattered footsteps faded into the distance, Su Ying, inside her trench coat, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, under the bed in Suite One.
Shi Jing received a notification from Zhu Jinzhao regarding the operation.
—Make a phone call. You call Mingyue, I'll call Suying.
Shi Jing: Okay.
Upon receiving the reply, Zhu Jinzhao didn't waste a moment and immediately dialed Su Ying's number.
"Clang, clang, thud..."
The default ringtone suddenly blared in the walk-in closet, causing Ning Shi and Fang Lei, who had just stepped out of the room and were about to close the door, to stop in their tracks.
There's someone in the walk-in closet!
