Only the door to the third floor remained. The twins consoled themselves by saying, "It's okay. The middle one is the best."
Seeing that they were still searching for clues, Gu Bozhi asked, "Do you need me to cook your meal?"
Cheng Annan frowned: "No, just take care of yourself."
He felt that Gu Bozhi was mocking them. They had just guessed the wrong password, but Gu Bozhi quickly entered a correct one.
Now whenever Gu Bozhi smiles at them, the twins think it is sarcastic.
Geng Yiyi felt a deep sense of powerlessness towards the twins' ability to draw hatred. She gave Gu Bozhi an apologetic smile and said, "Thank you. We can handle it ourselves later."
"Okay then." Gu Bozhi didn't mind at all and walked towards the refrigerator.
The director breathed a sigh of relief. "It's okay. I locked their refrigerator, too. They'll have to spend a long time looking for the key."
Gu Bozhi stopped in front of the refrigerator for a while, discussed with his brother, and then took out four boxes of self-heating hot pot from the suitcase.
Chief Director: “………………”
He thought these people would at most bring instant noodles, so he didn't even prepare hot water or a kettle for them.
But why would anyone bring a self-heating hot pot? It takes up space in a suitcase, is inconvenient, and has a terrible value for money.
The director just wanted to bang his head on the ground: "I should have checked the suitcases before going in... I regret it so much!"
Inside the house, Chu Xisen sat on the sofa with Bai Ningning for a while, unable to sit still at all.
Their cell phones were confiscated before they entered the villa, and now they are so bored that they even want to dance in front of the mirror.
He turned around and looked at Bai Ningning, who was sitting there in a daze, wondering, "Aren't you bored?"
Bai Ningning was a Buddhist who was in a bad mood and played it off to the end: "I'm a little sleepy. I'll go upstairs and sleep after I finish eating."
Chu Xisen poked her head: "Not really? Can you fall asleep so early?"
"I'm a little unaccustomed to the cameras. I'll go back..." Bai Ningning was halfway through her sentence when she remembered she had to maintain her persona during the show and pretend the cameras weren't there. She quickly changed her words and said, "I'll be the first one to sign. Go back to your room and wait for the ghosts to knock on your door."
Chu Xisen: "Aren't you afraid of ghosts?"
Bai Ningning had a blank expression on her face: "I'm indeed scared, but the sooner it comes, the sooner I can feel at ease."
Chu Xisen: “?”
Gu Bozhi shouted, "I'm done here. Sister Ningning and Brother Xisen, come and help me carry it."
When Bai Ningning heard that she could eat, she instantly became energetic, but when she saw four self-heating hot pots on the cooking table, a question mark popped up in her head.
Gu Bozhi asked, "Are you afraid of the heat? Then Sister Ningning, please wait for me at the dining table. All four portions are the same. I can serve them."
"Not really." Bai Ningning carefully picked up a portion and walked towards the table, explaining, "I just didn't expect there was a self-heating hot pot here... Is this an advertisement?"
"No, I brought my own." Gu Bozhi realized that non-sponsored items could not appear on the show and took a breath. "I forgot about this. Should I replace it with an ordinary bowl?"
Gu Yuanfan looked around: "But the cupboards are all locked..."
Bai Ningning took a look and said, "This lock is very new. It was installed by the production team. The key should also be in the castle. Maybe we have to complete the task before we can eat."
Gu Bozhi was like a child who had done something wrong: "What should I do?"
Chu Xisen: "It's okay, eat boldly. If the program team wants to broadcast this part, they will consciously censor it."
Several people sat around the table and started eating. Gu Bozhi was still anxious: "Actually, I brought a lunch box, but I only prepared portions for my brother and me... How about my brother and Brother Xisen switch? It would be terrible to be a star without cameras."
Chu Xisen said carelessly: "It doesn't matter, I don't care, if you want to change it, just change it."
He was so naive that he refused to change, and Gu Yuanfan felt embarrassed to do so, as it would seem pretentious.
The director outside the surveillance screen held his forehead with his hand while holding a bowl of instant noodles. "Is Chu Xisen always a bad player, or did Bai Ningning catch his bad habit?"
There were no staff members from Chu Xisen's family present, only a few people who had worked with him. They all explained, "No, he's very dedicated. We had a photo shoot before, and an intern lost his memory card. He asked if he could reshoot it, and he agreed without hesitation. He even ordered milk tea for us to comfort us."
"He's really nice to the staff. I heard he didn't mind when the interview went over time. He answered questions very sincerely, but he does make silly mistakes."
"Yes. Other companies would have the agent and artist play the good cop and the bad cop, rushing the interview to end quickly. He only reminds once, and then the agent will order milk tea and small desserts for the waiting interview team, and will also take the initiative to tell some funny stories. I think no one who has worked with him is dissatisfied."
Zhuo Yang listened to their exaggerations and said, "Didn't they say he was a very good actor? Maybe he was just playing the bad role."
Chief Director: “…”
But in the end, it seemed that the only ones who got hurt were the post-production team and the coding experts.
The aroma of hot pot filled the air in the house, and Geng Yiyi and the twins could smell it, but they had just made a promise, so they were too embarrassed to eat it now.
Cheng Annan grumbled quietly, "It's all just junk food."
Gu Bozhi was a little angel. He said to the three people who were busy looking for clues, "If you want to eat hot pot, you can come to me. I still have a few boxes."
Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to him.
Bai Ningning was curious: "Doesn't this take up a lot of space? Why do you carry so much? Instant noodles are much more convenient than this."
Gu Bozhi: "I actually brought instant noodles too. I brought a lunch box just for instant noodles. The self-heating hot pot was actually to improve the food, but I saw there was a refrigerator here, so I took out the hot pot in advance."
Gu Yuanfan coughed lightly: "But the refrigerator is locked."
Gu Bozhi laughed foolishly: "It's okay, Sister Ningning is so powerful, she will definitely be able to open it."
Bai Ningning: “…”
Well, she has one more brainless boast.
After the four of them had eaten and drunk their fill and cleaned up the trash, Bai Ningning began to wander around the house: "We're full, let's take a walk to digest the food."
Bai Ningning stared at the refrigerator. This was not a combination lock, but the most ordinary padlock.
Chu Xisen followed her, not understanding what she was looking at: "Is there anything different?"
Bai Ningning: "The key to the refrigerator must be near the refrigerator. Similarly, the key to the cupboard must be in the kitchen. The director must have placed it somewhere under his nose but not so easy to find."
She gently pulled the refrigerator door.
Chu Xisen: "It can't be opened. This kind of refrigerator has very strong suction."
This is a large double-door refrigerator. Bai Ningning struggled to open the refrigerator door a crack and could see a wide variety of food inside.
At the same time, the key fell to the ground.
Chu Xisen: “…”
I've seen wicked people, but I've never seen such a wicked director who actually put the refrigerator key in the refrigerator door.
Bai Ningning successfully unlocked the refrigerator. Seeing Gu Yuanfan and Gu Bozhi still rummaging around in the kitchen, she patted Gu Bozhi and said, "Go check the ingredients in the refrigerator."
Gu Bozhi was so startled that he bumped into the cabinet when he looked up. He covered his head and exclaimed, "So fast? Where did you find the key?"
Bai Ningning: "In the crack of the door."
Gu Bozhi: “…”
Gu Yuanfan: “…”
Gu Yuanfan began to rummage through the drawers and even wanted to move out the cupboards.
Bai Ningning: "The key may be hidden in the rice jar."
Gu Yuanfan immediately put on gloves and searched in the rice jar. After a while, he actually found a key.
Chu Xisen was doing nothing at the side, when suddenly an idea struck him. He tried to use the key to unlock the refrigerator to unlock the cupboard, and it actually opened.
Gu Yuanfan: “?”
Bai Ningning: “?”
Gu Yuanfan fell silent as he looked at the key he had just received.
Bai Ningning compared the two keys and said, "They're the same key. Either they don't trust our intelligence and have a backup, or they weren't well prepared and accidentally used the same key."
Gu Yuanfan: "Will there be a slight difference?"
Bai Ningning used the key in the rice jar to try the refrigerator lock and it opened.
Gu Yuanfan: “…”
Bai Ningning didn't bother to delve into it, and quickly dismissed it: "Don't bother, just open it. Are you done with today's work? I'm done, I'm going back to my room to sleep."
Gu Bozhi had just finished counting the food in the refrigerator: "It's not much. I don't think it's enough for the six of us to eat for three days..."
Bai Ningning: "It's okay, let's talk about it tomorrow morning when we wake up - does the refrigerator need to be locked? Otherwise it will be eaten by ghosts."
Gu Bozhi glanced at the three people in the living room who were still trying to find clues, and sympathy flooded his heart: "But what if they want to eat tonight..."
Bai Ningning: "It's okay, they are noble dragons..."
Before she finished speaking, Chu Xisen poked her head and said, "You will be severely punished for your words. Speak properly without any previous information."
Bai Ningning slapped his hand away: "If you poke my head again, I will fight you even if the camera is filming!"
Chu Xisen raised his hands in surrender.
Bai Ningning carefully worded herself and then said again, "They have very strict dietary requirements. You don't have to worry about their food and beverages; they will take care of it themselves."
She fanned the flames by adding, "They just complained that we were eating junk food when you asked them if they wanted to eat hot pot."
She had good hearing and heard the twins' quiet murmurs of disdain.
Chu Xisen urged her: "Go to bed, we'll deal with the rest tomorrow."
"Okay." Bai Ningning seemed to have heard the order to get off work, and she went upstairs shaking her head and jumping.
Gu Bozhi felt a little sad: "Then I'll go to bed too."
After returning to her room, Bai Ningning did not rush to sleep, but instead took out the black knife hidden in the closet - this was placed there for her by Yuan Muyang who had come in earlier.
Bai Ningning held the black knife and did not summon Qing Huai, but called out the three female ghosts in the hairpin: "Sister Juan, bring your daughters out for a chat."
Three ghosts slowly floated out of the hairpin, in a translucent state. Ma Juan's was the smallest, and her two daughters were almost black and red - this was the state that would occur after eating a lot of ghosts.
The extra female ghost is darker in color than Cheng Xiu and has stronger ghost power.
Bai Ningning observed their facial features and found that they did look very similar to twins, but they did not have their "arrogant" attitude.
Bai Ningning looked at Sister Juan's eldest daughter, Cheng Yun, and asked, "How could you escape from my senior sister's little wooden sign?"
Cheng Xiu quickly replied, "You have no idea how strong your restraint is! We were able to use the power of the hairpin to pull her over - but in the end, she was restrained by you just like us."
Bai Ningning appeared as calm as a rock, but her mind was actually full of questions.
Cheng Xiu added, "We know you're hiding your identity, so you're using this inconspicuous little hairpin as a cover. Don't worry, we won't interfere with any of your plans."
Bai Ningning: “…………”
"Although that couple is indeed abominable!" Cheng Xiu said, her anger burning in her - it was visibly evident that her evil spirit was surging.
Bai Ningning: "I understand your emotions very well. Calm down for now. They will definitely get their comeuppance."
The three ghosts, mother and daughter, were filled with righteous indignation and became uncontrollably agitated.
Bai Ningning added: "Including your twin sons... or younger brother."
The three ghosts, mother and daughter, were stunned at the same time as if they were poured with a basin of cold water, and their ghostly aura was no longer agitated.
For a moment, Bai Ningning felt cold.
Bai Ningning was not panicked at all. Although she was not sure what was going on with the hairpin, she was very sure that neither Qing Huai in the black knife nor the mother and daughter ghosts in the hairpin could hurt her.
Bai Ningning explained simply, "They are the direct beneficiaries of Cheng Jingwu's evil deeds. Even if I do nothing, they will definitely suffer the consequences. With all due respect, given their IQ, they will be expelled from college in their first year because they fail too many courses."
The two sisters didn't react too much. Cheng Xiu even snorted with disdain: "I knew they were no match for this. This family favors boys over girls. They've been spoiled to death. Sooner or later, they'll be beaten by society."
The eldest daughter Cheng Yun has not spoken a word so far, but has been staring at Bai Ningning, as if observing her.
Bai Ningning took the initiative to ask: "Do you have anything to say?"
Cheng Yun also realized that he had been staring for too long: "Sorry, I'm just curious why you can make my mother so devoted... because she told me to listen to you carefully."
Bai Ningning smiled meaningfully and didn't respond.
Cheng Yun added, "You look very young."
Bai Ningning: "Go back to your hairpins and don't come out without my permission."
She unilaterally cut off the conversation, making Ma Juan, her mother and daughter very nervous.
Bai Ningning didn't like this kind of temptation. She guessed that these three people could also communicate through the hairpin.
After washing up, she lay down on the bed and prepared to sleep. As soon as she closed her eyes, she suddenly felt something was wrong and a gust of cold wind blew over her head.
When she opened her eyes again, an upside-down ghost face appeared in front of her—a ghost was standing at the head of the bed, bending over and looking at her.
