Li Dapeng stood up with a sullen face, his eyes falling on the different faces, and finally shook his head: "No."
His words made Xu Zhi and others feel relieved.
Yu Wenli also smiled stiffly: "You must be mistaken, it must be just a coincidence."
Zhu Yuanqing shrugged indifferently: "Then let's just call it a coincidence."
Having said that, he looked at Yu Wenli with such deep eyes that she unconsciously turned her head away.
Yu Wenli felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, her white dress was wrinkled into large patches. She stood up and said, "Well, I didn't sleep well last night. I'm going back to rest first."
She went upstairs with her head lowered, her profile facing Zhu Yuanqing the whole time, and her steps hurried.
Seeing his girlfriend leave without saying goodbye, Wu Dong felt a little embarrassed thinking about how he had just abandoned her and ran away, so he rubbed his hands and followed her.
"I'll go see her."
As soon as the two of them left, the hall suddenly became much quieter. Xu Zhi moved his feet and was about to leave, but before he stood up, his collar was roughly pulled up.
Li Dapeng placed one fist across Xu Zhi's face and with his other hand, he grabbed his collar and lifted him up: "Tell me, what else do you know?"
Xu Zhi was strangled and felt uncomfortable, his pale face became even uglier: "I don't know, I really don't know..."
"Heh." Li Dapeng looked at his cunning appearance and didn't believe it at all. He said harshly, "If you don't want to say anything, I'll throw you out right now. Once the door is closed, don't even think about coming back today."
"I've said everything I need to say!" Xu Zhi struggled desperately. "Ye Lan! I admit that I lied to you. Please believe me for the sake of knowing each other for so long. I've told you everything I know!"
Li Dapeng frowned and said nothing, while Zhu Yuanqing waved his hand: "No, I don't have a friend like you. You want to kill me after knowing me for so long. I want to live a few more days, so forget it."
Pei Xia put his arm around Zhu Yuanqing's shoulders and stared at Xu Zhi with hostility, as if he would rush towards him if he said another word.
[Dog Licking Value -10]
Xu Zhi hadn't expected him to disregard their old friendship. Seeing Li Dapeng's increasingly impatient expression, Xu Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "I heard that every dungeon in the game has a boss. If you can kill it within the time limit, you can leave the dungeon."
"And you won't have to worry about being pulled into the game anymore."
Li Dapeng's eyes lit up, and he relaxed his grip on his collar a little: "Then tell me, how do you kill the boss?"
"I don't know about that. I just heard it from others! But once the boss dies, not only will this instance end, but those who survive will also receive a huge reward."
At this point, Xu Zhi's face showed a bit of longing. Naturally, even Li Dapeng felt a little moved.
Li Dapeng finally let go of Xu Zhi's collar. He slapped Xu Zhi's frail body with his palm, laughed twice, and pulled Zhao Hong beside him and left: "Let's go and see if there is any information in this villa."
"Even if I really have to die, I have to find someone to take my place with me!"
Li Dapeng took Zhao Hong away. Xu Zhi pulled his collar which was torn into a ball, spat, glared at Zhu Yuanqing, and walked away while coughing dryly.
As he walked, his dog-licking value dropped, and it was obvious that he was cursing in his heart.
Zhu Yuanqing watched him walk away, no longer keeping his gaze on him. Instead, he patted Pei Xia's hand and said, "Come with me to take a look."
The gate of the villa was always open, and it was obvious that they were not prohibited from entering or leaving. However, due to Yan Qing's miserable appearance, everyone else now avoided the sea of roses outside, as if there was some ferocious beast there.
Zhu Yuanqing took Pei Xiachao for a walk outside the rose sea. As they walked, he observed the condition of the rose bushes on the roadside, but he didn't find anything wrong in front.
After walking a distance, he squatted down and his eyes stopped on several obvious footprints in the soil.
Pei Xia didn't make a sound and squatted down with him. Seeing that he hadn't spoken, she reached out her hand and tried to touch the rose in front of her, but was stopped by Zhu Yuanqing.
He instantly shifted his attention and stopped moving the hand holding Zhu Yuanqing.
Alert to the surroundings, Zhu Yuanqing looked up and moved closer, and found that in addition to a few messy footprints on the soil, there were traces of breakage on the branches of the rose bushes.
Not only that, on some of the lush green leaves, tiny dried bloodstains were very obvious. At the same time, the roses on those leaves were more colorful than the rest, and the rich red color almost looked like blood.
But... Zhu Yuanqing looked back. This place was only a hundred meters away from the villa gate, and he had been in the restaurant for quite some time that day.
An adult, especially an adult male who is determined to escape from here, would not be able to walk such a short distance even if he only has a minute.
Yan Qing is easily angered, but he would also be afraid when faced with strange situations. If he had encountered an abnormal situation first, he would definitely not have the courage to attack the large bunch of roses next to him.
So the most likely scenario is that he kicked the rose next to him in anger, which led to a series of events afterwards.
Commonly known as, you deserve it.
After figuring out the whole story, Zhu Yuanqing lost interest in staying any longer and pulled Pei Xia away from the rose bush.
After they left, the small cluster of roses seemed to be stimulated by something and became much more listless than before.
Back at the villa, the clock on the hall wall just pointed to 10 o'clock. Zhu Yuanqing pulled Pei Xia's sleeve and asked, "Do you want to walk around?"
Pei Xia blinked innocently, but before she could say anything, Zhu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Since you want, I'll show you around."
The two of them went to the kitchen first. The kitchen was empty and still looked clean and bright. Zhu Yuanqing walked in. He touched the clean kitchen utensils and table and saw no signs of having been used.
He tried to open the door on the side of the kitchen, but it wouldn't budge.
There was a huge refrigerator against the wall, but it was still empty, without any ingredients, as if the food they usually ate had appeared out of thin air.
It seems that this game has its own unique way of operating energy. Zhu Yuanqing secretly made a joke to himself.
Then they went to the dining room. The glass door, like the kitchen door, was like a decoration and could not be opened even a crack.
The corridor on the second floor was spotless. There were no other traces on the ground, not even their footprints.
Given what the butler had said before, Zhu Yuanqing had no intention of going to the third floor for the time being. Seeing that the time was almost up, he went downstairs and returned to the restaurant.
There were still more than 20 minutes left before dinner time, but even if they arrived early enough, the food was already neatly placed on the table, steaming hot, waiting for them to enjoy.
Soon, other people arrived, but unlike last time, this time the chairs that were supposed to be unclamped did not unclamp after they finished their meal.
When the last person put down the cutlery in his hand, the lights flashed, and an elderly man appeared next to the main seat.
