Chapter 215: The Dust Settled
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zheng You was surprised that Bai Lin took the initiative to ask.
After all, Bai Lin had never taken the initiative to talk to her ever since she called her stupid. It seemed like she was trying to humiliate her by asking her now that everything had been resolved.
Zheng You’s right hand clenched and loosened. She smiled and walked to Yan Ruo’s left. “No, I admit that I made a mistake. Bai Lin, you’ve done so much for us. Thank you so much. Fortunately, everyone listened to you. If they’d done as I said, we would’ve failed the game by now!”
She inched closer to Yan Ruo’s side. “Bai Lin’s really too smart. Her martial arts skills are so good too. It seems like we’ll have to listen to Bai Lin more in the next episode. Don’t you think so, Yan-gege?
With just a few words, Zheng You had put Bai Lin in a very awkward position. It was like she seemed to have regained her intelligence now.
In fact, in terms of means and schemes, Zheng You was better than Bai Xi. Bai Xi mostly used other people’s sympathy as she pretended to be weak, which she took advantage of the psychology of most people.
Zheng You’s living environment, on the other hand, almost did not sympathize with the weak, only forming a deeper connection for the sake of benefits.
When it came to matters like this, Bai Lin would use a more direct way of thinking.
Bai Lin grinned. “I didn’t expect you to be still quite teachable. Don’t worry. If there’s anything you don’t know in the next episode, you can ask me directly.
Teacher Miss Bai will answer your questions!”
As she spoke, she even stepped forward and patted Zheng You’s shoulder.
Zheng You was bewildered.
With this move, Zheng You’s plan to accuse her of not cooperating with everyone but ordering them around failed. Instead, Bai Lin turned the tables on her and mocked her intelligence once again.
Zheng You held onto her wrist that was throbbing in pain and forced a smile. She thanked Yan Ruo again, “Thank you, Yan-gege, for saving me just now. It was really too dangerous. We’ve known each other for so long. I’ll treat you to a meal to thank you after the program ends.”
She then turned to Li Xuan and Ye Xing. “You two can join us. After all, we completed this game together.”
Li Xuan did not comment on it while Ye Xing knew she could not afford to offend Zheng You, but she did not know what Li Xuan thought, so she only said thank you.
“Are you willing to take up Youyou’s offer too, Miss Bai?”
“No, I want to go back to sleep. Aren’t you guys tired?”
Bai Lin was really confused. It was already 2 a.m.. What kind of routine did this group of people have? They were going to eat?
[I’m dying of laughter. What’s this Zheng You doing?]
[Lin-jie is so realistic. She’s getting sleepy after work, hahaha.]
[Am I the only one who thinks that Bai Lin is too unreasonable? Treating her to a meal is just an act out of kindness.]
[Of course, it’s only you. Can’t you reject an invitation?]
The evil spirit had been eliminated, and the mystery of the haunted village had been solved. Everyone only needed to leave from the village’s exit, and they would have completed all the escape missions for this episode.
As soon as they left the village, the fireworks prepared by the production team exploded in the sky. The host was already waiting outside the door. He had watched the livestream and was extremely excited.
“Congratulations to all the guests for successfully solving all the riddles and even completing the Level S hidden mission—The Black Cat’s Eye! Congratulations! I’ve also been very excited watching this episode. The evidence search and riddle-solving done by the guests were wonderful. We’ve also seen everyone’s cooperation. Now, we’ll play the complete plot for everyone. Please watch the video!”
As the livestream director switched to the video and played it, the production team urgently looked for Bai Lin, hoping to add a short one-on-one interview.
“You didn’t say that there’d be an interview before this. I’m not doing it,” Bai Lin rejected him without hesitation.
On the other side, Yan Ruo called Zheng You over and spoke in a low voice, “I’m not very familiar with you, so I won’t be attending the dinner. I’m sorry for hurting your hand just now.”
He was well-mannered, but he was cold and distant.
Zheng You pursed her lips, her eyes gradually filled with tears. “It’s because of Miss Bai Lin, right?”
“The apology gift will be sent to the Zheng Family.” Yan Ruo beckoned, and two people who looked like doctors came forward.
“These are doctors from a hospital under Huan Yu. They’re very experienced in treating external injuries.”
“Yan-gege, I don’t want these!”
“Give Miss Zheng a proper examination.”
Yan Ruo ignored Zheng You and walked away to make a phone call..
