Chapter 20: The Third Day



Someone who had never shown any aggressiveness suddenly attacked, and the target was the strong and healthy Li Dapeng, which caused an extraordinary psychological impact on everyone.

After dinner, the butler informed us of the gold coins we had obtained as usual. There were still two coins to be found, so we hoped everyone would keep up the good work.

After he left, everyone chose the place they were going to carry out the mission, but today was different from usual. Everyone kept their mouths shut until Zhu Yuanqing had finished his selection, then they spoke one by one.

Zhu Yuanqing didn't have any thoughts about the gold coins. As usual, he chose the attic that everyone avoided. Then he didn't even look at them and walked away with them.

An attic sounds like a dangerous place, perhaps cramped and dark.

But Zhu Yuanqing chose that place again today without saying a word. Everyone couldn't help but remember that he was clean yesterday and it was obvious that he had not been through much torture, and they were a little moved.

However, although they were tempted, they did not have the courage to ask Zhu Yuanqing if they could exchange.

After Zhu Yuanqing left, Li Dapeng lost his composure and, ignoring the various looks from others, directly chose the rose field outside.

Yesterday, Xu Zhi came back in a dishevel. Li Dapeng wanted to ask him what happened in there, but Xu Zhi refused to reveal any information. Li Dapeng was furious.

That's how the fist mark on Xu Zhi's face came about.

Li Dapeng protected his broken wrist, looked provocatively at Xu Zhi who lowered his head, and walked straight outside.

He didn't mean anything, he was just upset because Xu Zhi didn't cooperate with him.

Since he didn't cooperate with me, I took him to the place he really wanted to go.

Zhu Yuanqing is fine, at least he has some real skills, but who is Xu Zhi, and how dare he lose face for me?

Xu Zhi was timid at the dining table. After Yu Wenli and Wu Dong chose the swimming pool, he slowly stood up and went to the kitchen where Zhao Hong disappeared.

There was a hint of fear on his face, and in his eyes was uncontrollable resentment and hatred.

If Zhu Yuanqing had not exposed what he had done at the beginning, he would not have been frustrated in the past few days, been rejected when looking for people to form a team, and is now being targeted by Li Dapeng.

Thinking of the scene where he taught Li Dapeng a lesson calmly, and thinking of the stranger he took care of every day, Xu Zhi's guilt and avoidance of him slowly turned into anger and hatred that he himself did not even realize.

If it weren't for Zhu Yuanqing...

Fortunately, the whole day was normal and the number of people at the table did not decrease during dinner.

Nothing unusual happened that night, and everyone was safe and sound until the next morning. Even Yu Wenli, who always had trouble sleeping and said she had nightmares, looked much better.

It was obviously a good thing, but there was no joy on anyone's face.

It's only the third day, and they don't think the game will be so merciful and let them off.

The current stability is more like the calm before the storm, waiting for them to relax before giving them a fatal blow.

At noon, after lunch, it was time to choose a location.

Before anyone put down their cutlery, Yu Wenli spoke first, asking, "Wu Dong and I are going to the attic today. Does anyone have any objections?"

Although she was asking for everyone's opinions, her eyes were looking at Zhu Yuanqing.

After all, Zhu Yuanqing had chosen the attic two days ago. Yu Wenli was a little nervous. If Zhu Yuanqing didn't agree, she would have to choose another place.

"Whatever." Zhu Yuanqing said casually.

Even if Yu Wenli didn't bring it up, he didn't plan to stay in the attic today.

Pei Xia could not reveal any more information due to the limitations of the game. Although it was comfortable to stay in the attic, the amount of information he received was very little.

and……

Zhu Yuanqing keenly noticed that after Yu Wenli made this request, not only did she feel relieved, but even Xu Zhi, who was sitting next to her, slumped his shoulders a little.

"Then where are you going?" Yu Wenli continued to ask.

She seemed to be asking casually, but from Zhu Yuanqing's perspective, Yu Wenli was gripping the cup with such force that her knuckles were turning white.

The corners of his lips curved slightly, as if he was thinking, and then he said in front of everyone's uneasy gaze: "Let's go to the swimming pool."

Yu Wenli smiled.

Li Dapeng still chose the rose field, so Xu Zhi had to go to the kitchen alone.

They left the restaurant one by one, and finally only Zhu Yuanqing, Pei Xia and Yu Wenli were left.

Yu Wenli stood up, closed the restaurant door, and then sat down and took a deep breath. "How about you tell me who has the gold coin, and in exchange, I'll tell you about the swimming pool?"

Zhu Yuanqing leaned back in his chair and said, "Okay."

"The lighting in the swimming pool is very dim. When you enter, you have to find the switch on the left side of the gate to turn on the light. You can't press the switch on the right side because it's broken. If you press it, you can't see at all."

"After turning on the light, continue walking a few steps to the left. There is a storage room with various cleaning supplies."

"You'd better not stay in there for too long, otherwise you'll be locked up and unable to get out." Yu Wenli said, "The first time I went there, Wu Dong lingered in there for a long time. If I hadn't been outside, he would have almost died in there."

"I'm not sure about a lot of things, so I won't tell you and mislead you." Yu Wenli hesitated for a moment, then continued, "But I think I saw something golden in the middle of the pool yesterday."

She waved her hand. "It was too far away, so I couldn't see it clearly. From a distance, it looked like a circle... I wonder if it was the gold coin the butler mentioned."
