"I didn't!" Su Su screamed again, but the sound was so shrill that her brother instinctively distanced himself from her.
With just this one action, resentment welled up in Su Su's eyes, but she rationally did not continue arguing with her brother. Instead, she grabbed the boy beside her and said, "Gu Lanshan, tell me, do you think Su Su is that kind of person? Apart from not being able to stand Gu Xin always bothering my brother with everything and always flirting with other men, have I ever made things difficult for her?"
"No, Sister Susu, you're just blunt, but you don't lie!" Gu Lanshan is practically the epitome of a sycophant. Is this what you call being blunt? In front of outsiders, she casually spread rumors about her sister-in-law's ambiguous relationship with a man. Doesn't her brother have any dignity?
Du Lushu scoffed inwardly. Her purpose in doing this was simple: relying on the unbreakable bond of blood, she could act recklessly. As for whether her brother would resent and doubt his sister-in-law because he had lost face, that would depend on whether the relationship between the two could withstand the repeated instigation of his sister-in-law.
"Look, even Gu Xin's younger brother knows how fickle Gu Xin is behind your back!"
"Yes! Brother Zhu Kui, Sister Su Su is so kind, she would never wrong Gu Xin. Gu Xin used to take advantage of my old man's doting on her and often bullied me, her half-brother, which caused him to only give me three percent of the shares. I've never had a chance to tell you about her two-faced nature! Her death has absolutely nothing to do with Sister Su Su! Maybe she met some handsome guy on that project and got distracted..."
These two episodes are packed with information; it's practically like watching a melodramatic soap opera!
They enjoy acting, but Cheng Shuang and the other four don't like watching. They come to the realm of death to stage family ethics, love, and hatred. It has to be said that these people are only alive now because they are strong and lucky.
"Shut up!" Without solid evidence, no one would want to believe that their spouse was so despicable. Zhu Kui shouted, his face ashen.
His three companions immediately fell silent, including his sister, which shows that Zhu Kui's position in the team was almost absolute.
Zhu Kui glared angrily at Cheng Shuang, "You're quite the guesser! Then guess whether your companion is alive or dead!"
"You can guess whether that pretty lady is alive or dead later!" Cheng Shuang wasn't easily intimidated; she wouldn't back down just because someone yelled at or glared at her. She might as well not enter the Gate of Reincarnation at all.
The girl's casual remark silenced Zhu Kui, whose previously confident expression now showed a rare hint of anxiety.
"Anyway, my companion is fine and can take the time, but that pretty lady is suffering a lot!"
Since she can communicate with her boyfriend, she is at least conscious. No matter where she is, she will inevitably feel pain and helplessness.
While the other group remained silent, Cheng Shuang and the four people opposite her exchanged glances.
The candidates for the station manager position revolved around two people: the Zhu siblings.
If Zhu Susu were really the stationmaster, she probably would have already started causing all sorts of trouble.
But that's not necessarily true. If a team understands the importance of its leader, it won't casually reveal them.
For example, the six people in their convenience store could all step forward and temporarily act as the leader in order to cover up Cheng Shuang's identity.
The station manager is often not the decision-maker.
Du Jun only knew that one of them had a mechanical skill that occupied the Jump Jump card, so when Brother Sun used a small mechanical flying device that he happened to obtain, he was attacked and ambushed while flying over the mosaic floor.
It's hard to guess the skills of other players because the function and skill of some cards cannot be completely distinguished.
He silently looked at Du Lanshan. Regardless of the internal conflicts on the other side, once they breached the contract, he would definitely take the initiative to control the Zhu siblings.
Du Lanshan silently lowered his eyelids.
The reason Du Jun was so sure Cheng Shuang would agree was because he noticed the girl was too calm.
With Sun Han's fate uncertain, she would never be so calm as to appear so confident. That certainty of having everything under control aroused suspicion in Du Jun, who knew her well.
In addition, Cheng Shuangsan's two sentences revealed the truth—Zhu Kui's request was not to take something, but to rescue a person.
Du Jun then guessed that the little girl was someone who knew beforehand that she had 'died' in a certain project, and wondered where she had gone.
Du Jun still didn't think things through enough.
Cheng Shuang not only knew, she also rescued all the children.
The reason the alarm didn't go off at the exit of the children's play area was because the backpack wasn't on her. She had handed the doll and the pearl key to Luo An, and Luo An was so fast that the monitoring system didn't even have time to react, so the alarm didn't go off.
After thinking it over carefully, Cheng Shuang confirmed that all the faces in the block area were male, which made her relax and she let out a barely perceptible breath.
The situation has now turned around, and she has turned the tables. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, she will try her best to repair Uncle Sun.
"I want to see my companions!"
Seemingly prepared, Zhu Kui, whose face had been gloomy, took out his camera and showed the photos after noticing Cheng Shuang's insistence.
The background of the photo is the lobby of a movie theater ticket office, with human-shaped mosaics lying in the corner, not a single one missing.
"See that?" Zhu Kui said coldly, "It's time for you to do your part."
The more intelligent and quick-witted Cheng Shuang appeared, the more at ease and reassured Zhu Kui became, as this increased the chances of his girlfriend being rescued.
Regardless of Gu Xin's character, she was still his teammate, and he couldn't just abandon her. Besides, he knew all too well what kind of person his sister was; she had been spoiled in the past, and now he had to swallow the bitter fruit of it all himself.
Zhu Kui then pulled up Gu Xin's photos. To prevent Cheng Shuang from mistaking her for someone else, he showed her almost all the photos in his phone's album.
The little girl felt reassured at first glance.
Such a beautiful young lady, she only encountered one in the shopping mall - the C-position doll chosen by the key girl.
Cheng Shuang lowered her eyes slightly, pretending to try to remember Gu Xin's appearance, but actually she was wondering why Gu Xin didn't continue to talk to Zhu Kui, or at least tell her companion that she had left the children's play area.
Perhaps her awakening period was extremely short?
The little girl remembered the pain and contortion on her face when the doll was pulled off.
If she truly seized the opportunity during that painful and desperate moment to communicate with her companion and accurately provided some crucial information, then she had to admire that beautiful older sister.
That kind of mentality makes him a wolf!
Cheng Shuang glanced at Zhu Kui, whose expression hadn't improved after a few provocative words. She felt that there was something slightly off about the pretty woman dating him. Not in terms of appearance, but in terms of their resilient personalities.
"Just you wait!" Cheng Shuang said before leaving.
Liu Juan and Du Lanshan stared longingly at the little girl, especially wanting to get up and go with her. But then they thought that she had already successfully escaped from the children's play area, and the danger of going back in might be reduced. Meanwhile, Du Jun and Du Lushui continued to talk to Zhu Kui about the details of the exchange with a calm expression. Their confident state gave the two of them an invisible belief in their companion.
