Chapter 206: Babysitting at home 9
"We must find out why Qu Angjie died."
Was it because he drew number one, or because he did something that violated the death conditions, or was he just unlucky and happened to be chosen?
Only by finding out the reason can the remaining players try to avoid stepping on landmines again.
Everyone decided to search the Zhou family again.
There was no discovery during the search of Zhou’s house last night, but now that someone has died, the situation may change.
After some discussion, everyone decided that four people should stay behind to guard the young master's room this time. This way, even if they needed to go to the toilet, they could team up in pairs and no one would be left alone.
The five people responsible for going out to search were divided into two teams so that they could look after each other.
Yu Ke and Lu Ye were naturally in the same team. Among the other three, Luo Chunxiao looked at the dark-skinned man Pu Qiwei and Chen Shengang, and was about to say, "Let's form a team of three."
Unexpectedly, Chen Shengang spoke first: "I will be in the same team with Pu Qiwei, and you will be in the same team with those two."
His tone was overbearing, and he showed no intention of consulting anyone. He just gave orders directly, and it was actually him who made the final decision.
Luo Chunxiao's polite smile slowly faded, and he glanced at Chen Shengang coldly, ignored him, and turned to look at Pu Qiwei: "Do you want to team up with me?"
Pu Qiwei nodded without hesitation and agreed: "Okay."
He could see that Chen Shengang was a bit of an idiot, so it would be better not to get close to him, otherwise he would definitely end up in misfortune.
Chen Shengang's face turned pale after being refuted by two people in succession: "What do you mean!"
Luo Chunxiao sneered: "What do you mean? You can have such a big prejudice, so you must be very capable. Why bother to team up with others? It will only drag you down."
Pu Qiwei: "Yeah, I don't have any skills, I can't keep up with you."
He dare not look down on women.
Chen Shengang clenched his fists. Facing four people who didn't take him seriously, he could only say "Don't regret it!" and then turned around and left angrily.
None of the four people standing there cared about Chen Shengang's performance, which seemed like he had a missing brain stem.
Lu Ye brought Yu Ke and nodded to Luo Chunxiao and Pu Qiwei. Then both sides chose a direction and acted separately.
Near noon, Yu Ke squatted on the ground, holding her cheek and sighing.
She and Lu Ye searched Zhou's house again, but it was no different from last night, everything was normal.
Now Lu Ye, with his great talent and courage, ran into the domineering boss's room, and she was keeping watch for him outside. This was the last hope for the two.
I hope to find some invisible clues in the domineering president's room.
Yu Ke curled up in a black cloak, huddled near the door of Zhou Shengze's room, waiting for Lu Ye to come out.
The entire fourth floor seemed to be Zhou Shengze's territory. As soon as he left, there was no one here. It was very deserted and lonely, which was very suitable for the current situation of petty theft.
Yu Ke covered her mouth and yawned due to lack of sleep, wondering with tearful eyes why Lu Ye hadn't come out yet.
Could it be that there is a 500-meter-long bed in Zhou Shengze's room?
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a sound of footsteps suddenly coming up the stairs, neither fast nor slow.
“Tick, tick, tick…”
Yu Ke widened her eyes nervously, recognizing the unique sound of the leather shoes. Her sleepiness was instantly awakened and she became tense all of a sudden.
The owner of the voice, that is, the owner of the room, actually came back early at this time!
She hurriedly took out the props and told Lu Ye in the way they had agreed upon: Someone is coming back, run!
While delivering the message, she anxiously looked at the still closed door of the room, and from time to time she had to glance in the direction of the stairs to see if anyone had come up.
I was so busy for a while, but I didn't know what I was busy with.
It wasn't until that cold and handsome face appeared at the end of the corridor that Yu Ke's heart sank.
She looked back at the door that had never been opened, and sincerely hoped that Lu Ye would not come out at this time, otherwise there would be no way to explain.
Seeing Zhou Shengze's figure approaching step by step, Yu Ke gathered her black cloak and wrapped herself more tightly.
Although she knew that Zhou Shengze could not possibly see her, his aura was so strong that she couldn't help but feel uneasy every time they met.
This time too, even though she buried her face under the wide brim of her hat, she still wanted to squeeze into the corner.
After all, a sense of security is squeezed out.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Yu Ke waited fearfully for Zhou Shengze to pass by her and return to his own room.
After changing his mind, he began to worry about what Lu Ye in the room should do.
Her inadequate little head was filled with messy thoughts, and it took her a long while to notice that she seemed to have not heard footsteps for a while.
Have you returned to your room yet?
Yu Ke raised her head cautiously, but what caught her eye was a pair of long legs.
Looking at the straight suit pants right in front of her, her little face turned pale, her soft red lips trembled, and she buried her head silently again.
Help, help... Why is Zhou Shengze standing in front of her! ! !
Could it be that he saw her...
Thinking of this worst possibility, tears quickly welled up in Xiao Piao's eyes. Her whole body froze and she dared not move. She didn't even have the courage to pick up the props.
In a trance, she seemed to hear a slight sigh coming from above her head. Before she could listen carefully, a calm female voice sounded in the distance.
"gentlemen."
Then came the sound of light footsteps approaching.
"Sir, another maid is missing. I guess she felt the work was too hard and ran away. Do you need to recruit someone new to fill the vacancy?"
"Um."
"OK."
The light footsteps gradually faded away.
Yu Ke almost held her breath, hoping that the other person in front of her would also leave.
Fortunately, this time it happened as she wished. Soon she heard the sound of leather shoes, followed by the sound of a door opening and closing not far away.
She breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense body suddenly relaxed. Her legs became numb from squatting for so long, her feet were unstable, and she almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, she reached out her hand to support herself in time, thus avoiding the tragedy of kowtow.
Yu Ke tugged at the brim of her hat with trembling hands, raised her eyes again to confirm that there was no one in front of her, and finally she was completely relieved.
It’s so scary. Woohoo.
It turned out that he didn't see her, but was waiting for the maid to come over and talk.
At that moment, she really thought she was exposed...
Trying hard to comfort her wounded heart, Yu Ke held onto the wall and wanted to stand up and leave, but suddenly someone grabbed her arm!
Caught off guard, she subconsciously wanted to scream out.
But the person reacted very quickly. He immediately covered her mouth with his other hand, then hugged her in his arms and walked downstairs.
