Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Alright then. Let’s go! Hurry up.”
The ten of them acted swiftly and proceeded to the respective floors that they were allocated to so they could activate the fire alarm on each floor. At this time, Jin Mingchen quickly chased after the rest of the partic.i.p.ants as he whined, “Hey! Wait for me, guys…my pyjamas are not fitting at all. I look too revealing right now!”
h.e.l.lo. The hotel is in total darkness right now. Who would actually be bothered to look at you?
“Follow closely behind me later,” Xiao Chennan whispered to Vera before he headed upstairs.
“Okay.” Vera blushed before she chased after Jiang Yuning.
A short while later, one of the fire alarms started ringing and emitting a loud noise because Qi Mo had already lit a newspaper on fire to set the alarm off. At this time, the rest of them proceeded as planned, and they started shouting that there was a fire in the hotel. As predicted, the guests in the hotels started running out of their rooms in a hurry.
“The hotel is on fire…hurry up and run!”
“There is a fire!”
The hotel guests were already panicking at this point and they proceeded to flee from their respective hotel rooms but at this time, one of the hotel staff made an announcement over the radio. “I am sorry but I am here to inform all of you that the hotel is not on fire and you are not in imminent danger. This is just a prank played by some of the guests who are spending the night at the hotel. We sincerely apologize and we will handle this matter with utmost care and priority. Please be rest a.s.sured that your lives are not in danger and you can return to your rooms to continue resting.”
“Oh my G.o.d! The production team is just too heartless!”
“How are we supposed to complete our mission?”
The ten of them felt their heads hurt when they saw that all their efforts were in vain.
“Otherwise, we could just look for a gunny sack and search for the broadcasting room so that we can tie up the people who are camping in there right now?”
“If there is anyone that we should tie up in a gunny sack, it is none other than those balding production team members!” Jiang Yuning quickly suggested.
As soon as the production team heard Jiang Yuning’s words, they could not help but look at the door immediately.
Sigh! They were merely filming and planning a variety program, so why did it feel like they were risking their lives for this?
This girl was too wild! Who would have the courage to invite her to partic.i.p.ate in any of their programs or shows in future?
At this time, Jiang Yuning took out her cell phone to look at the time and noticed that it was already eleven o’clock. “Come on, guys, it’s too late now. We should just return to our rooms to rest. I really can’t wait to see…what the production team is really up to this time.”
“Alright then, let’s go. We should really be more cautious and alert tonight,” Qi Mo replied as he advised the rest of the partic.i.p.ants.
At this time, Xiao Chennan suddenly touched and patted Vera gently on her head when no one else was looking their way. This gave Vera a huge sense of relief.
Vera felt the love and concern that Xiao Chennan was showing her and her heart calmed down a little. After that, she followed Jiang Yuning and Xu Beishen as they walked back to their suite.
Of course, there were also guests who did not want to be played around with and tortured by such pranks anymore. Therefore, they quickly packed up their luggages and checked out of the hotel earlier than they had initially intended to.
“What are the old and bald donkeys trying to do?” Xu Beishen could not help but say out loud as she threw herself onto the sofa as soon as they returned to their room.
“Should I go downstairs and walk around to check out the situation?” Jiang Yuning proposed as she pointed at the door.
“No!”
Both Xu Beishen and Vera replied in unison.
As the three of them were still confused and in despair over the situation, complete darkness suddenly overcame the room. Jiang Yuning immediately opened their room door to discover that the entire hotel was in complete darkness.
Guests started coming out of their hotel rooms one after another, ready to complain about the situation to the management of the hotel, but at this time, they suddenly realized that the entire staff working at the hotel had already disappeared.
What was even more terrible was the fact that all the entry and exit points to the five-star hotel had already been blocked.
“What is going on here?”
“Why are they not allowing us to leave the hotel?”
“Do you have any signal on your cell phone? It seemed as though the signal on my cell phone has been completely blocked!”
“Don’t you think that this prank has gone way out of line already?”
Everyone was frightened and afraid at this time and so, all of the guests and partic.i.p.ants decided to gather in the lobby downstairs.
Suddenly, there was a scary devilish broadcast which sounded over the radio at this time.
“I gave you a chance to escape at eleven o’clock earlier today. However, you did not cherish or take advantage of the opportunity to escape. You should be very afraid right now. You should get ready to accept the punishment from the G.o.d of death later today at six o’clock.”
“Does anyone know where the broadcasting room is? I really feel like dragging the production team and crew out to give them a brutal beating right now,” Jiang Yuning could not help herself from feeling frustrated because she felt that the production team were being too unreasonable.
“Sister Yuning…I…” As soon as Jin Mingchen started speaking, Jiang Yuning quickly stuffed her cell phone into his mouth to stop him from screaming out loud.
“You are not allowed to scream!”
Jin Mingchen felt very aggrieved and he looked as though he was about to burst into tears.
When Jiang Yuning saw the expression on Jin Mingchen’s face, she took back her cell phone before she wiped the saliva on her phone directly on Jin Mingchen’s body. After that, Jiang Yuning said, “Since the production team has already announced that something would happen only at six o’clock, then why don’t we return to all of our rooms to rest first so that we can be ready for anything that will happen tomorrow?”
“I…I want to sleep with you…” Jin Mingchen said as he held tightly onto Jiang Yuning’s arm.
“Who did you say you want to sleep with? Can you repeat yourself?” Jiang Yuning questioned Jin Mingchen in a threatening manner.
“I…I said that I wanted to sleep with Brother Qi Mo.”
This young boy always spoke freely without considering the consequences of his words and actions. If he had not corrected his sentence earlier, Jiang Yuning was afraid that Lu Jingzhi would deal with him directly.
At this time, Jiang Yuning suddenly felt a sting in her ears.
“Ahh!!! Look at the shadows. There are ghosts in this hotel! There are definitely ghosts in this hotel!”
In an instant, everyone started panicking and screaming at the top of their lungs. At this time, Xiao Chennan suddenly pulled Vera to a corner in the darkness before he whispered in her ear, “Be careful. Stick close to me.”
Vera could feel her cheeks flus.h.i.+ng and she felt warm immediately. Was it really okay for her to stay by the film emperor’s side?
“Why don’t we go back to the room to discuss this? By the way, where is Vera?” Xu Beishen suddenly asked as she looked around them. However, since it was completely dark at the moment, it was almost impossible to look for anyone under such conditions.
“I don’t think that we have to worry about her. Someone will definitely be protecting her. Let’s go.”
Everything was a complete mess. This time, the production team had really done a great job at creating a commotion. Were they doing this because it was already the last two issues of the variety program?
“Perhaps the production team is creating all this confusion on purpose to distract you,” Xu Beishen guessed.
Jiang Yuning was sitting down on the sofa and after thinking for a short while, she finally asked Xu Beishen, “Beishen, don’t you think that Mingchen is acting in a very strange and unusual manner? He does not seem like himself at all.”
“How so? Hasn’t he always been this way all this while?”
“No…have you already forgotten that Mingchen is no longer afraid of ghosts after all that we have been through? Try and recall what happened in the past. The screams that he had made in the past when he had seen those monsters are completely different from his screams a while ago…do you think that he is doing this on purpose? I will keep my suspicions to myself for the time being, but I will try to verify the truth tomorrow,” Jiang Yuning replied. “Well, let’s go to bed and try to rest as much as we can now. The production team has another surprise waiting for us at six o’clock in the morning.”
“Will Vera really be alright?”
“The film emperor will be protecting her…so you do not need to worry about her at all.”
After that, Jiang Yuning lay down on the sofa and fell asleep immediately.
…
In the other room, Xiao Chennan and Vera were sitting on the sofa.
In the darkness, their surroundings was so quiet that all they could hear was the sound of each other’s breathing…
“Why don’t you send me back to my room? I don’t think that it is a good idea for me to stay here with you.”
“Vera,” Xiao Chennan said all of a sudden.
“Yes?”
“Come and stay by my side.”
“Now is not the right time to talk about this,” Vera replied as she started crying.
“I have already told you that I will protect you,” Xiao Chennan replied as he put a blanket over Vera’s lap. “Go into the bedroom to rest. I will sleep here on the sofa.”
“But…”
“Don’t you trust me at all?”
Vera could not stop her heart from fluttering and in the end, she finally grabbed her blanket and entered the bedroom in the suite.
Vera was feeling extremely overwhelmed as she laid in bed that night. She could not sleep at all.
This was too much. Was it really okay for them to act this way?
If Xiao Chennan’s fans found out about this…wouldn’t they be lining up to kill her?
…
That’s night, it rained heavily in Luo City and the whole city was shrouded in mist.
Early the next morning, when Gao Mengjin returned home after working overnight the night before, he felt excited and had certain expectations in his heart when he saw the lights in the living room still lit.
After pus.h.i.+ng the door open, he saw Wen Tong sitting in the living room as she sipped on her cup of tea. “I will be flying to South Africa tomorrow. You don’t have to look for me.”
