Chapter 289 - You are Already Choosing a Guy Over Your Friends!
“Brother Nan is right. There was still a big group of hotel guests left in the hotel after eleven o’clock last night. However, between eleven to six o’clock in the morning, a group of guests have already gone missing. Our priority should be to search for the missing group of guests right now. We have to find out if there is any common ground or any specific information contained within the missing guests, in order to figure out if there are any hints or anything that we can use as clues to find the password to escape from this hotel,” Jiang Yuning replied as soon as Xiao Chennan voiced his opinion.
At this time, the director sitting behind the camera screens had a very smug expression on his face.
This time, they had already concealed the hint very well. The production team did not believe that Jiang Yuning would be able to discover the hint so easily.
Hmph!
The ten participants then gathered all of the hotel guests in the lobby before they started to determine the identity of the missing guests from the hotel register.
After some time, they finally found out the identities of all the missing guests and Xu Beishen then decided to hand the hotel register over to Jiang Yuning instead. “Here, perhaps you can take a look at the information that we have gathered so far and see if you have any insight at all.”
“The eight missing people are all of different ages and sexes. Although most of them comprise of children, there are also several adults who have gone missing along with them. Moreover, just by looking at the hotel register, I do not think that the clues are hidden within their surnames, weights, heights, or any physical attributes of the guests,” Jiang Yuning concluded as she analyzed the information in a calm manner.
“Is the distribution of the missing guests random?” Jin Mingchen could not help but ask after listening to Jiang Yuning’s analysis. “Do you think that this is perhaps a prank that has been started by this group of missing people then?”
As the three of them started going up the stairs, Jiang Yuning suddenly turned back and looked at Xiao Chennan before she said, “Brother Nan, I will leave Vera to you now. I will make my way up to the eighteenth floor first.”
“Stay alert and be aware in case there are other traps set up for us.”
Jiang Yuning nodded before she started running up the stairs, maintaining a safe distance between herself and the other two just so they could still hear each other.
As soon as Jiang Yuning left their sight, Xiao Chennan reached out his hand to Vera: “Let’s go.”
Vera blushed immediately before she shook her head. “No. We are recording a variety program now. Aren’t we just heading to the eighteenth floor? I can do this.”
Xiao Chennan did not say anything but he continued walking silently behind Vera, protecting her and ensuring her safety without saying a single word.
At this time, Vera could not help but sigh as she thought about Jiang Yuning’s high emotional intelligence. She knew that Jiang Yuning had been creating countless opportunities for her to be able to spend some time alone with Xiao Chennan, but Vera also knew that she should exercise some self-restraint. After all, they were recording a variety program now and Vera could not imagine the dire consequences if Xiao Chennan’s fans were to find out about their relationship.
She was still feeling overwhelmed by everything that happened last night and therefore, she should act more appropriately from now on.
Vera stayed strong and continued climbing flight after flight of stairs as they followed behind Jiang Yuning.
When both Vera and Xiao Chennan finally arrived at the eighteenth floor, they saw Jiang Yuning standing in front of a room door with a thoughtful expression on her face.
“What are you looking at?”
“Take a look at this.” Jiang Yuning then pointed at the advertisement box located right outside room number eighteen on the eighteenth floor of the five star hotel. “There is an X drawn on this door, which means we are clearly forbidden from enter this room. However, that is also the reason why I have a feeling that the answer we are looking for is definitely inside this room.”
“Alright. I will go inside the room and check it out. Both of you should stay outside and keep guard in case anything happens,” Xiao Chennan replied as he quickly pushed the two girls aside.
“Brother Nan…”
Xiao Chennan pushed the door open and entered the room without any hesitation at all. However, when the door closed behind Xiao Chennan after he entered the room, the two girls realized that they could no longer open the door.
“Brother Nan…” Vera shouted in an anxious manner. “Can you hear us?”
“Warning! Warning! There is no air, water, nor lights in this room! It is forbidden territory and nobody should enter the room.” The advertising box right beside the room made a loud noise and both girls jumped in shock.
“What does this mean?”
“He must try to escape the room immediately,” Jiang Yuning replied to Vera’s question. “Don’t be so anxious and worried. Let me try to think of a solution.”
“Hurry up! He must be suffering inside.”
You are already choosing a guy over your friends!
Jiang Yuning stared at the advertising box with a serious expression on her face as she thought of ways to resolve this issue. At this time, the glass windows in the hotel were all crackling because there was a huge typhoon outside.
“Stop worrying about the weather first. It is more important that we save him now!”
