After listening to them, Liu Quan was completely confused. "Is this Rose Manor Chinese or Western style?"
"Is this important?" Lan Shuang smiled and leaned back on the table. "How we survive is more important, right?"
This sentence successfully choked Liu Quan.
Yes, it’s good enough to be alive now, why think about all those trivial things?
He touched his glasses awkwardly and said, "I didn't go anywhere just now. I was just looking for clues in my room. I found a business card among a pile of sheet music. It's black with gold foil, and it looks very impressive. In this game world, I must be a pretty good musician."
As he spoke, he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Lan Shuang. As Lan Shuang stretched out her hand, Jiang Lusheng took it away first.
He flipped it over and saw only a name and a phone number on it, nothing else.
The name is in cursive English and is not very clear.
Lan Shuang took a look and then looked away. It was meaningless and not a useful clue at all.
"Besides that? Anything else?"
She stared at Liu Quan, not missing any expression on his face.
Liu Quan also spread out his hands like she did before, "I know I am a musician, and I like talented children. Among these ladies, the one I value most is the third lady. I even wrote a song for her, but I never gave it to her."
Liu Quan's expression was serious and frank, and it seemed that he had nothing to hide.
Lan Shuang nodded and looked at Jiang Lusheng, "So your relationship should be pretty good."
Jiang Lusheng handed the business card back without saying anything. Just as Liu Quan reached out to take it, another scream came from downstairs.
The penetrating power is extremely strong, and it can scare people to death.
Liu Quan shuddered and the business card fell to the ground, but no one was in the mood to pick it up at this time, so they rushed out immediately.
"What happened?"
Lan Shuang leaned on the railing and looked down. The girls on the second floor moved very quickly and rushed out the door.
Pei Jinzhi listened for a while and said, "It's Wen Qingqing's room."
Lan Shuang immediately ran to the stairs, followed by Jiang Lusheng and Liu Quan, and then Li Weiyan and the other two also ran out one after another. Everyone met up on the second floor. The scene at this time seemed like a replay of the morning.
They gathered at Wen Qingqing's door and looked at each other.
"What should we do now? Should we go in directly?" Li Weiyan moved his wrist.
"It's a girl's room, it's not okay for you men to enter, right?" Zheng Mingxin retorted, crossing his arms.
"What should we do then?" Li Weiyan frowned, "How about sending one of you girls to open the door?"
Everyone fell silent immediately.
The girls looked at each other, and none of them had the courage to do it.
Lan Shuang pushed through the crowd and said, "I'll do it."
She raised her hand and turned the doorknob, and it opened immediately. However, Lan Shuang did not dare to relax. She stood at the door and looked inside vigilantly. It was pitch black inside. The next moment, something suddenly jumped out and pounced on her!
The timid Zheng Mingxin had already started to scream. Jiang Lusheng frowned and said, "Stop screaming. It's a human."
"Ah?" Zheng Mingxin and the others looked over and saw Lan Shuang holding a little girl in a red dress, who was Wen Qingqing.
"I was scared to death. Qingqing, what were you doing? You pounced on me as soon as we had a disagreement. Fortunately, Lan Shuang is brave, otherwise she would have fainted by now." Zheng Mingxin patted his chest exaggeratedly.
Mu Tiao glanced at him and said softly, "Stop talking. The child is very scared."
Lan Shuang patted Wen Qingqing on the back and said, "Okay, okay, it's okay. We're all here. What happened to you? Tell us."
Wen Qingqing then sobbed and pulled away from her arms. She looked around carefully and saw that they were all familiar faces. She felt relieved and cried even harder.
"I...I seem to have seen a ghost, wuwuwu——"
"Stop crying and talk slowly. Let's go. Everyone doesn't have any missions now, right? Then let's go downstairs and talk. It'll be safer to stay together."
No one objected to this. Everyone was afraid of being left alone and becoming the next Wen Qingqing, so they all walked very close to each other when going down the stairs.
When they arrived at the living room, everyone changed from the distant attitude when they first met. The men sat in one row and the women sat in another row, facing each other, and they could clearly see the worry on each other's faces.
Wen Qingqing sat next to Lan Shuang. With Lan Shuang's comfort, she calmed down a lot. She felt a little embarrassed by everyone's stares, so she shrank closer to Lan Shuang and whispered, "I was alone in the room just now, looking for some clues, so I opened all the drawers and looked through them. I don't know what I was thinking at the time, but I always felt like someone was watching me."
Having said that, she hugged her arms in fear and looked around nervously.
Lan Shuang narrowed her eyes. "Someone was looking at you? And then, did you see that person?"
Wen Qingqing shook her head in fear: "No one."
"What's your name?"
Liu Quan was puzzled.
Wen Qingqing seemed about to cry again. She clutched Lan Shuang's hand and broke down, "I felt someone was watching me, so I looked around. Finally, I felt like there was something under the bed. I knelt on the carpet, lifted the sheets, and looked down. Then I saw a knife."
"There's still blood on the knife... There's still blood on the knife! Fresh blood!"
She hugged Lan Shuang's arm and started crying again.
The faces of the people on both sides turned grim. "A bloody knife? Or a fresh one?"
Pei Jinzhi frowned: "Is there nothing else besides this?"
Wen Qingqing nodded: "No, but I was very scared when I looked at that knife."
Lan Shuang patted her back in understanding. "It's really scary for a person to see a bloody knife. Do you remember what the knife looked like? How big was it? A fruit knife or something?"
Wen Qingqing thought for a moment, then stretched out her arm to gesture, "It's about this long—it looks like a fruit knife, and there's blood on the handle."
"Could it be someone's prank?" Mu Tiao leaned back on the sofa and said, "I feel like the servants in this manor have a very ordinary attitude towards us. It seems like they don't like us very much. If they did it, I think it makes sense."
"How could that be? Aren't we playing the role of young ladies? How dare the servants hate us?"
Zheng Mingxin clenched his hands, “It would be great if there was a surveillance camera, we could also check if anyone entered Qingqing’s room.”
Lan Shuang was about to look up when Pei Jinzhi suddenly said, "Don't look. There are no surveillance cameras in the corridor outside."
"How do you know?" Lan Shuang looked at her.
Pei Jinzhi said in a normal tone, "I just walked around the second floor and checked the corridor. I didn't see any cameras or fire extinguishers. This family's security measures are very average."
Lan Shuang pursed her lips and said, "There's nothing we can do about this unless we ask the housekeeper."
