Chapter 247: A Death Penalty

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation               Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yan Ruo was the first to notice the teddy bear in the corner. He was standing close to Bai Lin and paid close attention to her every move and the situation around her.

He quietly exchanged positions with Bai Lin, standing closer to the teddy bear in case the bear suddenly got up and hurt someone.

Zheng You was trying to open the lock on the fourth floor, but she felt that something furry had touched her calf. She looked down but could not see clearly.

The feeling was too strange. The furry thing was even rubbing her calf repeatedly in a caress-like manner. It was obvious that some monster had appeared. Zheng You was so scared that her back was covered in cold sweat. She did not dare to scream, nor did she dare to look down to see what it was.

For some reason, the door lock did not open. Zheng You became more anxious, and she even started sobbing softly.

“Youyou, don’t cry,” Jing Shan quickly stepped forward and tried to comfort Zheng You. “Let me unlock it.”

As he spoke, he wanted to take the key from Zheng You’s hand. He did not know why Zheng You was crying or why she was afraid.

What he did not know was that although Zheng You was very afraid, she was still planning to make things difficult for Bai Lin as she cried.

“Miss Bai, you’re fast at picking locks. Can you help me?” Zheng You ignored Jing Shan and called out to Bai Lin with a sobbing tone.

Bai Lin was a little speechless. She knew that Zheng You must be up to no good again, but she did not mind playing with her.

As soon as Bai Lin walked over, Zheng You clearly felt that the furry thing on her calf had disappeared. It seemed to have transferred to Bai Lin.

Zheng You looked smug. She even deliberately let go of the key when she handed it over, hoping that the key would fall to the ground.

“Tsk, you’re so careless. If you drop the key on the floor and lose it, aren’t we all going to be punished?” Bai Lin’s hand was extremely fast, and she caught the key in mid-air.

By the side, Jing Shan was clenching his fists so tightly that his knuckles were cracking.

Youyou had asked her to unlock the door because she thought highly of her! How dare she speak to Youyou in such a tone?!

Just as Jing Shan was about to say something, he saw Yan Ruo standing behind Bai Lin.

Yan Ruo seemed to have noticed something and turned to look at Jing Shan.

Under the dim red light, the pressure from his gaze almost made Jing Shan tremble. For a moment, he felt that Yan Ruo was like a demon that had come from h.e.l.l.

Zheng You saw that Bai Lin was looking at the keys very calmly. She could not tell if Bai Lin was afraid or not at all. For a moment, she also doubted herself.

Was it just an illusion? Or was it some sort of technology from the production team that simulated a real touch?

Zheng You could not help but look down.

“A ghost!” Zheng You suddenly let out a shrill scream, scaring Li Xuan and Ye Xing so much that they hugged each other and trembled.

“Zheng You, your volume has reached 79 decibels. You’ll be punished at the end of this segment.”

The broadcast sound immediately rang out, as if a death penalty for Zheng

You.

The water gun punishment just now had already made her makeup and hair a little messy. She did not know what kind of punishment it would be this time, but she only hoped that it would not make her look more embarra.s.sing.

It was not strange for Zheng You to scream like this. After all, when Zheng You lowered her head and met the bear’s eyes, not only did the bear’s eyes glow red, it also opened its mouth and revealed its sharp teeth as it laughed strangely.

The teddy bear’s left hand was actually being stepped on by Bai Lin?

Zheng You obviously did not believe the old saying about how one would harm themselves by harming others.

Not only did her plan fail to harm Bai Lin, it also caused her to be punished.

Zheng You gritted her teeth and thought, ‘Since I have to be punished anyway, I might as well take advantage of the darkness…’

The more Zheng You thought about it, the more she felt that this method was feasible. She pretended to lose her balance and pounced forward, about to push Bai Lin down.

However, Bai Lin, who was picking the lock, held her steady with one hand.

This pounce did not knock Bai Lin down. Instead, she was supported by Bai Lin. Zheng You felt as if she had punched cotton.

How was that possible? How did Bai Lin react so quickly?

[My Lin-jie is beautiful and kind. She still helped Zheng You after what she did to her.]

[Why did Zheng You fall just now? Did she step on something? Did she fake a fall to push Lin-jie?]

[Are you guys paranoid? Bai Lin’s the one who only knows how to do violent and harmful things. What reason does Youyou have to push her on purpose?]

[It’s not the first time Zheng You’s tried to harm Bai Lin, right? I’m not a fan of either side, but I can see that Zheng You is targeting Bai Lin..]
