Chapter 1450: Being Toyed With

After a moment of silence, Liu Xin'ai heard her younger brother say, "You will fall deeply in love!"

What kind of nonsense is that!

Liu Xin'ai opened her mouth, wanting to refute it.

But even if she denied it, her brother wouldn't believe her.

Since that's the case... it's better to save her energy.

Liu Xin'ai breathed lightly, then said listlessly, "Alright, go back to your work!"

After saying this, she hung up the phone directly.

Meanwhile, Liu Qingze stared at his phone, pursed his lips, and thought to himself that he needed to change what he had just said: his sister wouldn't just fall deeply in love, she already had!

Liu Qingze really wanted his sister to wake up.

But he had done what he could, and said what he should have said.

What else could Liu Qingze do?

He could only let things take their course.

Liu Qingze sighed heavily, a trace of bewilderment still on his face.

After the press conference, Liu Xin'ai's life slowly returned to its normal track.

Her friends and colleagues teased her a few times, then didn't say anything more.

However, there was one person who had been secretly observing Qin Yiyan and Liu Xin'ai.

In a corner where no one could see, this person was still plotting a shady plan.

Whenever she thought of the miserable end for Liu Xin'ai and Qin Yiyan in her plan, she would laugh out loud.

The cold, sinister laughter cast a layer of ferocity over her originally beautiful face...

One day, after Liu Xin'ai finished her work in the Laboratory and was preparing to leave, she was stopped by a colleague.

The other person handed Liu Xin'ai an envelope.

Then, winking, they said, "A young person asked me to pass this on to you. Xin'ai, could this be a love letter from an admirer?"

A love letter?

In this day and age, everything is communicated via mobile phone, and love letters have become a rarity.

Liu Xin'ai was quite curious about who had given this to her, so she opened it to take a look.

Upon looking...

It was Qin Yiyan's handwriting!

He had written down an address, hoping she would come to the appointment...

This guy, if he wanted to ask her out, he could have just said so; why go through all this extra trouble?

Liu Xin'ai complained in her heart, but without even considering it, she prepared to go to the appointment.

Upon arriving at the destination, Liu Xin'ai discovered that this was a place for playing Secret Room escape games.

Liu Xin'ai had heard of Secret Room escapes; they had been very popular in recent years, but she had never experienced one.

Now, looking at the unique decor of the place, she actually wanted to experience it once.

But, the agreed-upon time had arrived, so where was Qin Yiyan?

Liu Xin'ai prepared to call Qin Yiyan.

A staff member saw this and took the initiative to ask, "Are you Ms. Liu?"

Liu Xin'ai nodded slightly.

The other person continued, "Mr. Qin has already arrived and is waiting for you inside. After you enter the main door, just keep walking; you will see a room, and Mr. Qin is right there."

"Thank you."

Liu Xin'ai didn't think much of it and followed the staff member's instructions, continuing forward.

And in one of the rooms, she saw Qin Yiyan.

Qin Yiyan also looked like he was finding it novel, studying his surroundings.

Hearing footsteps, he turned his head to look.

The moment he saw Liu Xin'ai, he even smiled and said, "I really didn't expect you to like playing Secret Room escapes."

She liked it?

Liu Xin'ai was stunned, then asked, "Isn't it you who asked me out?"

"Of course not. I received the letter you sent me."

A letter?

Liu Xin'ai hurriedly took an envelope out of her bag and handed it to Qin Yiyan: "I received one too."

Once Qin Yiyan looked at it, his expression immediately turned serious: "This isn't what I wrote! I suspect the one I received wasn't written by you either!"

Then... what was going on?

Qin Yiyan didn't know the situation either, but there was one thing he was very clear about!

"We must leave here right now!"

Qin Yiyan grabbed Liu Xin'ai's hand and started to leave, but the main door had already been locked!

And behind them, a red digital clock began to tick eerily.

Liu Xin'ai murmured, "Is this... the game starting?"

Qin Yiyan sneered and pressed his lips together tightly.

The expression on his face was one of anger.

Anger at being played for a fool!

Qin Yiyan took out his phone and told his bodyguards to find a way to open the door as soon as possible.

The moment the call ended, the lights in the Secret Room suddenly went out, leaving only the red digital clock emitting a faint glow.

Liu Xin'ai's heart was beating fast, and she felt that everything around her was wrong!

Fortunately, Qin Yiyan was standing right beside her; he grabbed Liu Xin'ai's hand and said, "Stay by my side, don't wander off!"

In the enclosed space, everything felt so oppressive.

But because of the man beside her, Liu Xin'ai's anxious heart calmed down a little.

Once her mindset leveled out, Liu Xin'ai's brain began to function again.

Then, thinking of something, she said to the person beside her, "Since this is an escape room, why don't we look for clues to open the door?"

Qin Yiyan felt that things were not that simple.

He said with a somber expression, "I'm worried that this isn't an ordinary escape room, but that someone is luring us into a trap!"

"Heh, as expected of Qin Yiyan, you guessed it!"

A woman's voice suddenly rang out in the dark room!

If one listened carefully...

"Wang Yaran!"

Wang Yaran said with a hint of triumph, "That's right, it's me. You two always like to control the big picture, but now that you're being toyed with, how does it feel?"

How does it feel? Naturally, it was enough to make one so angry they wanted to kill!

Qin Yiyan narrowed his eyes, and a murderous aura emanated from his body.

Liu Xin'ai, however, was very calm.

She listened carefully, then pointed to a box on the ceiling and said, "The voice sounds like it's coming from a speaker."

Qin Yiyan let out a soft snort and said mockingly, "Cowering and hiding, that's her style indeed!"

Wang Yaran was not annoyed by the mockery; instead, she said with calm composure, "You two, you're only brave with your words. In reality? You must be scared to death inside!"

Wang Yaran became more triumphant as she spoke, even laughing out loud.

Her laughter carried a distinct air of a petty person gloating over their success.

But Liu Xin'ai did not understand, so she asked, "What is the point of doing this? We will get out soon, and when that happens, you'll be finished!"

"Oh, you woman, your thinking is truly simple! I must have planned an escape route before trapping you here, but whether you can get out... that's hard to say!"

Judging by Wang Yaran's tone, there was likely more to this Secret Room than met the eye.

Qin Yiyan wanted to gather more information.

But he did not ask; instead, he did the opposite and provoked her first: "A tiny room thinks it can trap me? My bodyguards will find it soon!"

"Heh, although the room is small, there are many rooms here, and the layout is like a maze. Even if your bodyguards are capable, they won't be able to find the corresponding door in time!"

"But I can have them follow the path I took when I came here!"

"That's one way, but what a pity, the path you took has been rearranged and is now completely different. If they follow your instructions... they'll only hit a wall!"

Jiang Baobao looked at the man in front of her, her heart feeling as if it had been pricked by a needle.
