Chapter 1359: Playing Along with the Plan

Gu Yanqi took a deep breath; this was the first time she truly felt how dangerous this world was. She never expected the other party would actually want to harm her.

Seeing Gu Yanqi's complexion was not good, Ning Chen stepped forward, took her hand, and sat on the bed.

Although she had already experienced one world, Gu Yanqi's memories were still rooted in peaceful times, and her profession's worst consequence was being cyberbullied by netizens or blacklisted by her company, but it would never threaten her life.

Even in the zombie world, she was protected very properly by Ning Chen and had hardly witnessed the treachery of human hearts.

This time, if the two of them had not returned together, if Ning Chen had not gone to the room with her, if the person who opened the door had not been Ning Chen, if... even one second later, the other party's plan would have succeeded.

Thinking of this, Gu Yanqi felt a deep sense of post-fear, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Don't be afraid, I am here." Ning Chen turned the action of holding Gu Yanqi's hand into an embrace.

Feeling Ning Chen's broad and warm body, Gu Yanqi gradually calmed down and took a deep breath.

"Then, then what do we do next?" Gu Yanqi's voice trembled as she spoke.

Suddenly, a slight sound came from outside the door; the sound was completely negligible, but Ning Chen's eyes sharpened, he reached out, and white-gold light opened the door, colliding with the green light outside. Sensing the person outside, Ning Chen withdrew his hand.

Xiao Han walked in from outside, followed by Lin Yi, Facing Huo Jinglin, and Xu Chenchen.

Xiao Han sat in the spot where Ning Chen had just been sitting, with no awkwardness about eavesdropping at all; on the contrary, Lin Yi was smiling with a look of guilt, and it was obvious that eavesdropping was Lin Yi's bad idea.

"If you want to listen, just come in; there's no need to eavesdrop." Ning Chen looked at Lin Yi and said.

Lin Yi didn't expect Ning Chen to guess it was his idea so quickly; a one-second pause appeared in the smile at the corner of his mouth, then he pointed at Xiao Han: "Brother Ning, it wasn't my idea; it was Xiao Han's, it was, it was his thought!"

Ning Chen gave Lin Yi a look; his eyes conveyed ten words: Do you think I look very easy to fool?

With no choice, Lin Yi conceded defeat; he let out a wail: "Aaaaaah, Brother Ning, how did you see through me so quickly? Now I've lost the bet!"

Ning Chen looked at Facing Huo Jinglin, asking what the situation was.

"Lin Yi made a bet with us; he was eavesdropping outside, and if Brother Ning you found out it was his idea after he was discovered, he would lose; if you didn't find out, he would win."

Ning Chen raised an eyebrow and asked: "Then what if I say nothing?"

"That would also be Lin Yi winning."

In other words, only if he accurately stated it was Lin Yi's idea could Facing Huo Jinglin and the others win; otherwise, the others would win.

If viewed this way, under normal circumstances, Lin Yi's winning probability was quite high.

In fact, this was also the reason Lin Yi made a bet with the few of them, because no matter how you looked at it, he appeared to be the one who would win.

Moreover, in order to clear himself of the situation even more, he even pulled Xiao Han over to act as the frontman to confuse Ning Chen.

"Brother Ning, how did you know?" Lin Yi wore a bitter expression, completely unable to understand.

Ning Chen glanced at Lin Yi and said: "Intuition, and also, you are the most guilty."

Lin Yi choked; was his guilty expression really that obvious?!

"So, what happened?" Xiao Han suddenly spoke up; they had arrived a bit late just now and hadn't heard much.

Miss Hongxiu hurriedly spoke up and recounted the whole sequence of events in one breath, even mentioning the incident at the very beginning where she was startled by Ning Chen.

After hearing the cause and effect of the matter, Xiao Han fell silent for a moment; he slowly raised his head and looked at Ning Chen: "How about we find someone to replace her? Since she is coming tonight, we can just capture her directly; I actually want to ask some things."

Ning Chen nodded; he was thinking the same thing. Although they needed to capture the other party, he definitely would not agree to let Gu Yanqi serve as the bait.
