Chapter 395 The Game Starts (1)
Qing Li felt that Kavin was too ambitious for someone who should be kneeling and begging him to get the director position from Xie Xing. Despite coming from a lowly background, he wanted to participate and take one of the Harvest. If he hadn't been in a good mood, he would have thrown and kicked Kavin out of the villa.
Kavin should thank his luck for being the person who gathered the Harvest that day. Qing Li wouldn't even glance in his direction if he was too useless for him to use.
After an hour, the models and stars who were escorted to their rooms were feeling tense. They didn't know what the organizer planned to do with them and what kind of 'orders' they would receive from the masked person.
And most importantly, who was this masked person?
Just when everybody's curiosity got the better of them, an announcement that told them that the game had started was heard all around the villa.
Inside one of the rooms, Xuan Yi, being one of the first to object to the organizer, felt that something terrible was going to happen. So, she locked her room and stayed away from it. However, not even five minutes after she did this, she heard a clicking sound from her door before it swung backward and revealed a figure.
Xuan Yi was so shocked because she clearly remembered locking the door! But the person who entered didn't seem to mind it and lumbered across the room, looking around for something.
Behind the curtain, Xuan Yi felt her heart thumping loudly and beating fast. She had never been in this kind of situation. As a young lady from a semi-wealthy family, everything was taken care of for her by people who were hired by her parents.
In the first place, she didn't want to come to the CK show and just hang around at home. However, when she heard that her fiance was seen together with Lin Hua at a club, Xuan Yi was so upset that she decided to accept the offer to join the event because Lin Hua was also invited.
All she wanted to do was take care of Lin Hua and let her know her place, so how did they end up being forced to play a game?
And the most ridiculous thing was that they didn't even tell them what game they were playing!
"Hello?" the person who snuck inside her room whispered, his voice echoing inside. Xuan Yi almost wanted to come out because the tone was gentle and pleasing to the ears.
"Miss Xuan? Xuan Yi? Are you there?"
If only the person hadn't called her name, she might have come out to greet him back.
Xuan Yi gripped the curtain tightly, thanking her ancestors for her wits. If she hadn't acted fast, who knows what this person would do to her once he saw her.
"Xuan Yi... please don't hide from me. Don't test my patience. I don't really like playing hide and seek with you." The man looked around the room and checked the bathroom but found it was empty. He was starting to feel irritated and pushed the vase in anger.
The sound of glass and ceramic breaking on the ground was so loud and startled Xuan Yi, who was hiding behind the curtain. The curtain shook with her body. She was so scared that the man would notice her. She prayed for someone to save her.
The man was starting to lose his patience. No, it was already spent when he was looking for Xuan Yi in the room. He took his phone out, called Qing Li, and waited for it to be connected, "Are you sure you didn't give me the wrong room number? She's not here."
Qing Li was standing before several monitors that showed the several hallways of the villa, the hall, kitchen, and dining room. He then said to the phone: "Miss Xuan didn't leave her room. She must still be inside and hiding."
"I already checked every spot in the room! She's not here!"
Qing Li removed the phone from his ear and sighed, "Do you want me to send the guards to find her?"
The man thought about it. Looking for her alone did not bear fruit, so he could only agree to Qing Li's offer.
Qing Li: "Alright, I will send two guards on your way. Please wait in the room."
After ending their call, Qing Li signaled two guards to help the man look for Xuan Yi. He didn't panic when he heard Xuan Yi was missing. This wasn't the first time someone tried to hide and escape. And they all will still end up being captured and punished.
At the same time, Xuan Yi heard everything the man had just said on his phone. If the guards arrived in the room, her chances of being found would be 100 percent! There's no way out for her!
Just as she lost hope and sensed the danger was coming close to her, she heard a knock behind her.
No way... did they find her already?!
Xuan Yi's soul flew out of her body when she thought of this. She didn't want to be caught by that man. Tears started to form in her eyes, threatening to spill on the corners of her eyes.
She didn't want to turn around to look at who was standing behind her. No, she didn't even want to move her body. But another knock sounded behind her, forcing her to look.
Because it was dark outside, the view she saw once she looked behind her was nothing but dark silhouettes of three people standing on the porch, looking like grim reapers who descended to take human lives.
And in this case, they must be taking hers.
"Ah....Ah...Ah--"
Before Xuan Yi could exercise her vocal cords and alert the enemies with her scream, Ran Xueyi pushed the glass sliding door and covered her mouth.
Then, she said in a low voice, "Scream later. For now, come with us."
