Chapter 1345: Sharp-tongued, Arrogant & Cute Entertainer & Super-Rich Insecure Wife 22

Separated by a door, the Director Team announced that Chu Yin and Cheng Yi had failed their identification, letting them wait in the Zhuang Yuan lobby and continue watching the other guests solve the case.

The smile on Chu Yin's face vanished instantly, and he looked very surprised, "Identification failed?"

All the clues he had gathered pointed to the butler—how could he possibly be wrong!

Facing the camera, Chu Yin felt a bit embarrassed.

Cheng Yi was practically bursting with speechlessness, but anything caught on camera couldn't be shown, so she merely shook Chu Yin's arm, acting coyly annoyed.

"Well, it looks like first place is gone."

"Sorry, Xiao Yi," Chu Yin frowned tightly, worried that this would affect his image in Cheng Yi's mind.

"It's fine, it's fine even without first place."

Cheng Yi smiled, her lips curving sweetly, "As long as you keep me company, that's great."

It could be said that the emotional value was maxed out.

Chu Yin finally relaxed, feeling very comforted in his heart, and couldn't help but hug Cheng Yi.

〖Our lovey-dovey team's happiness is steady!! 〗

〖Chu Yin is really so comforting, waaah! Even if he was wrong, it's fine! He's really been looking for clues all along, that's awesome! 〗

〖Xiao Yi is so good at acting cute and lovable, you must really love her to say something like that! 〗

〖I really want to know who the lover is!! The person in charge of such an important role isn't even it. 〗

No other directional clues were found in the bedroom for the time being, and An Yun also felt, based on the recent scene memory, that the lover was the butler.

"Older sister, let's go out and make the identification; I don't want to accept punishment."

An Yun was still acting coy, but his tone sounded somehow off, and Bai Qing, whom he spent day and night with, would surely notice.

Yesterday she merely mentioned that An Yun should be mindful of boundaries with his same-sex friends, never expecting his reaction to be this big.

Bai Qing furrowed his brows and spoke gently, "The clues might not be all found yet; I don't think it's necessarily the butler."

An Yun's face turned even paler; after hesitating a few seconds, he shook off his hand, "Even this—you won't stand by my side?"

"Xiao Yun..." Bai Qing sighed, then took his hand again and gripped it tightly, "Fine, we'll do as you say; let's go on duty."

An Yun lowered his eyes, tugged at the corner of his mouth into a smile, "Do you think I'm being unreasonable?"

Bai Qing: "......"

"An Yun, what exactly do you want."

The cool, mature woman's voice sank, An Yun bit his lip and stayed silent, "Forget it, let's go."

The room was somewhat quiet; Xiang Xiaoyu's lively atmosphere didn't work out, and the other few guests who weren't close also didn't feel like saying much.

Only after Bai Qing and An Yun left the room did Xiang Xiaoyu hold her forehead with a headache, "You've exhausted me enough."

〖I'm dying crying, what the heck is going on with these two?? Could it still be because of yesterday's game segment? 〗

〖Will this team become the first guests this season to be split up?? 〗

As expected, the Steady Rise team's identification also ended in failure.

Jin Chen suddenly walked to the floor-standing white classical mirror, stood still for a moment, and looked through the mirror at the text behind the cabinet door.

"Would a normal person write mirror-image words on a cabinet door?" Jin Chen couldn't help but wonder softly.

"What mirror-image words? Let me take a look." Lin Cheng poked his head over, exclaimed, "Holy cow! It really is mirror-image writing!"

"You are a possibility I can never possess."

Lin Cheng examined each one, scratched his head, "Isn't this the love confession we found in the restaurant?"

Shen Shi suddenly called Jin Chen over, pointing to a certain recess in the wall, "Could this be where that gold medal goes?"

"Looks about right, I'll give it a try."

Jin Chen placed the gold medal into the recess.

The lights in the room suddenly began to flicker, accompanied by an artificial electric sound.

Sizzle—sizzle

Jin Chen instinctively turned to grab Shen Shi's hand, "It's okay, don't be scared."

Shen Shi's tension lasted only a moment before being soothed by Jin Chen's gentle cooing; he tilted his head to rest on his lover's shoulder and quietly relaxed.

When the lights stopped flickering, the white wall once again projected the boy's image.

The boy was more relaxed than ever before, sitting alone by the floor-length mirror, muttering to himself.

"Big brother, the day after tomorrow is my birthday—aren't you coming out to play with me today?"

A few seconds later, another voice sounded.

"The butler isn't here today, so we can go play in the garden."

Then the image disappeared and the lights came back on.

Lin Cheng let out a genuine sigh.

"What Jin Chen said is true! Is the boy's lover that older brother?"

"No…… that older brother hasn't even appeared!"

Just before the lights flickered, Shen Shi happened to find the calendar clue, pulled away from Jin Chen's embrace, opened the calendar, and they looked at it together.

Shen Shi's finger tapped the red-circled day, "This day is the young master's birthday; counting back two days gives Wednesday."

Jin Chen suddenly recalled something, "That sheet."

"It's the schedule recording the butler's work hours; they need to avoid the days he's home in order to go out."

〖Holy shit! So that means the butler isn't just not the young master's lover—he's actually a villain...... 〗

〖We haven't found the truth yet, but we've already embarrassed the first two teams. 〗

〖Blindly guessing, this episode's MVP is Jin Chen! His memory is amazing! 〗

"Jin Chen! Come lend a hand!"

Lin Cheng was just startled by a suddenly appearing boy, retreated several steps, his knee happened to hit the bed corner, and when he lowered his head he discovered the hidden compartment under the bed.

My luck is really awesome, hey!

Lin Cheng tried to push the bed but couldn't; after Jin Chen lent a hand, he managed to push the bed toward the wall; inside the hidden compartment was a password box, a numeric password.

Jin Chen half-squatted to examine the structure of the password box, considering the possibility of smashing it open directly.

But upon touching it, he discovered it was actually a fairly sturdy iron art box; directly prying it open facing the camera would also be a bit strange, so Jin Chen gave up.

"On it there are only the two words 'secret', nothing else as clues." Jin Chen tapped the box wall with his finger.

Shen Shi also squatted beside him, then moved a bit closer to Jin Chen, tilting his head to think about the clues he had found earlier, when suddenly Jin Chen leaned over and pressed their faces together.

"Shen Shi, we're filming a show, don't always try to seduce me." Jin Chen spoke first.

Shen Shi:??

Shen Shi widened his beautiful eyes in surprise, "When have I?"

"I don't care, you just have it."

Jin Chen turned his head, casually rummaging for clues beside the coffee table, his deep brows and eyes showing obvious pleasure.

Xiang Xiaoyu flipped out from under the bed a medical record book stuck with tape to the bed slats.

"Does the young master have a mental illness?" She looked at the psychiatric hospital's medical record book and was surprised.

That sentence seemed to unlock a certain node in Jin Chen's mind; he suddenly shifted his gaze, glanced at the white petals scattered on the floor, then looked at Xiang Xiaoyu and asked: "Does the medical record book say what illness it is?"

"No, they've all been blacked out, only on the back it says 'I have no disease'... Ah! There's also this."

Xiang Xiaoyu flipped out the diagnosis time, "Could the password of that box be this thing?"

Jin Chen tried turning the password; originally they were just guessing randomly, not expecting to succeed, but it actually opened.

"Awesome, Xiang Xiaoyu! Mwah!"

Lin Cheng immediately blew a kiss, "Not bad, you!"
