Zhu Yuanqing was already accustomed to the housekeeper's mysterious appearances, but others might not be. Especially since Yan Qing's death was still fresh in their minds, they felt even more terrified when they saw him.
The butler was still wearing the same black tuxedo, his silver hair on his forehead was weathered. He asked, "How did everyone sleep last night?"
Everyone looked at each other, not daring to answer.
Zhu Yuanqing smiled friendly and said, "I had a good night's sleep. Thank you for your hospitality."
The housekeeper's smile deepened: "In that case, I'll trouble you all with today's affairs."
"I'm old, and this villa needs someone to take care of it. Since everyone is here right now, could you please help me?"
"Don't worry, I won't ask for your help in vain." The butler stretched out his hand, with a shining gold coin in his palm.
"There are four places here, and each one has a gold coin like this. Whether you can find one depends entirely on your luck."
"Those little guys in the villa are usually a bit naughty. If you run into them, it will inevitably cause some trouble. When the time comes, just hand them the gold coins and they will naturally leave."
It was visible to the naked eye that many people's eyes lit up.
Xu Zhi couldn't help but say, "I promise!"
"Whatever you ask us to do for you, I'll do it!"
In his opinion, this thing is obviously an important prop that can save his life. There are only four of them, so it is naturally first come first served. The sooner you agree, the better.
As for danger, let's listen to what this old guy says first. It won't be scarier than that thing at night.
If you really can't, just refuse.
The housekeeper was very happy to see someone so cooperative and said, "The roses outside need pruning and watering, the kitchen needs help, the attic hasn't been cleaned for a long time, and the swimming pool on the second floor also needs cleaning."
"By the way, there is a maximum of two people per place, no more."
"What are the completion standards?" Zhu Yuanqing asked, "Who will be held responsible if we miss the meal time?"
"No requirements." The butler smiled. "Once you have stayed in there for three hours, you can come out naturally. I believe you won't miss dinner."
After saying that, he looked at the young man who often asked questions: "Any more questions?"
"That's all." Zhu Yuanqing said, expressing his politeness. "Goodbye, old man."
The butler smiled and walked out of the open restaurant door.
After his figure disappeared behind the door, Pei Xia stood up and stuck close to Zhu Yuanqing, holding his shoulders with both hands without letting go.
Zhu Yuanqing patted people's shoulders to comfort them, and the others only then realized that they could move.
"Did you hear what the housekeeper said? Let's divide the space." Li Dapeng slammed the table, his eyes circling over the other people at the table. "Zhao Hong and I are going to the kitchen. Any objection?"
He looked at Zhu Yuanqing carefully, but Zhu Yuanqing lowered his head and talked to Pei Xia, completely ignoring him.
Seeing this, Wu Dong quickly said, "Lili and I will go to the swimming pool!"
Someone had just died in the rose bushes, and the attic didn't sound like a good place. At least they had lived on the second floor before, and the swimming pool didn't sound like a big problem, so of course they had to grab it quickly.
They were all working together, but Xu Zhi was alone, afraid that Zhu Yuanqing would interrupt and say, "I'm going to water the flowers!"
After he said that, he sneered at Zhu Yuanqing.
So what if I’m smarter than them? What matters is whether I can survive today.
Xu Zhi listened to Zhu Yuanqing's previous analysis. Like Zhu Yuanqing, he also felt that the maid and the rose bush were the least dangerous.
Everyone knows that Yan Qing died because of the sea of roses. Everyone else is afraid to go there, but Xu Zhi is different.
Although Yan Qing died, he didn't die outside! If he could escape back, why couldn't I? Thinking about it this way, maybe the sea of flowers is the safest place!
Although Zhu Yuanqing was talking to Pei Xia, he did not ignore their conversation. He did not stand up until everyone left.
"Come on, let's go to the attic."
When he turned around, Xu Zhi had already walked into the flowers outside the glass door with a watering can, watering the flowers while carefully looking to the side. When he turned his head to this side, he saw Zhu Yuanqing behind the door and quickly turned his head away.
Pei Xia also saw this scene, frowning and staring at the person in the flowers with a serious expression.
Zhu Yuanqing didn't notice this and pulled people directly to the second floor. He first went to the room to get the alarm clock, then returned to the first floor to confirm that the time upstairs was consistent with the clock in the hall.
The stairs to the third floor are on the left side of the second floor, next to a corridor, and behind it is the swimming pool.
The corridor and the stairs formed a blind spot, and Zhu Yuanqing could hear voices coming from there from a distance.
He approached with quiet footsteps, and Pei Xia behind him also fell silent.
"Explain? Didn't you run away behind my back? Huh? So many eyes watched you tumble down the stairs, and you still want me to understand?"
"I don't understand shit!" Yu Wenli was obviously furious.
"No, Lili, how many times do you want me to explain? I thought you were following..."
"Wu Dong, stop talking nonsense to me. Don't I know what kind of person you are? If it weren't for you back then... Ugh!"
Her voice was muffled.
"Shut up!" Wu Dong said urgently, "No one can mention this!"
"Don't act in front of me. We both know what we are like. I didn't ask you to go through life and death with me, so don't give me any nonsense here!"
"If I hear that again, you'll be on your own for the next few days!"
The hurried and heavy footsteps faded away, and Yu Wenli, who was still standing there, stomped her feet violently.
"Bah! I'm so unlucky to have met you! If it weren't for..."
She stopped talking in time, cursed a few words on the spot, and followed.
Zhu Yuanqing listened to the conversation from the corner, then smiled at Pei Xia, who had just begun to move. He said softly, "Pei Xia, why did the boss of this dungeon gather a group of us together?"
He twisted Pei Xia's hair and withdrew his hand under everyone's expectant gaze.
"Forget it, it's pointless to ask you."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the third floor that the butler had emphasized.
Pei Xia behind him pursed his lips, took a few steps to stand in front of Zhu Yuanqing, and led him upstairs.
Zhu Yuanqing did not struggle, but was slowly led behind him, wanting to see where he would be taken.
Pei Xia seemed to be quite familiar with this place. He led Zhu Yuanqing through the corridor without stopping, found a glass house, then walked around a cluster of flowers and stopped in front of a snow-white wooden staircase.
The staircase was quite narrow, barely wide enough for an adult to pass through. The snow-white paint was hidden by a large cluster of plants, and it was impossible to see it unless you got close.
Zhu Yuanqing didn't ask how he found this place. He just rubbed Pei Xia's furry head and chuckled in the man's ear: "Great."
The deliberately lowered voice was sexy and seductive, swirling around the ears, and I didn't know whose heart it touched.
