Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife-Chapter 392 The True Unspoken Rules

Jia Li's death was quick but nevertheless painful and excruciatingly exhausting her mind and heart. She tried to scheme and use Yan Zhuhui's love for her to save her life, but the root cause of why he had given up her was not only because she found another man.

Jia Li will never realize nor understand why even though Yan Zhuhui was willing to give everything, even his life for her, had chosen to rid of her existence. f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

Back to the present day, Ran Xueyi arrived not so early but also not later than everyone. With her manager and an addition of an assistant in tow, the group were led by the organizers to where the investors were waiting for them.

The place that was arranged for everybody to gather was a villa across a beach. To their right was a rolling green with trees over the horizon and to the left was an empty land. And in the middle was the villa which has three floors, a parking lot, and a swimming pool.

Ran Xueyi guessed that they wouldn't be able to go home that day. Not when these investors invited them to a villa instead of a restaurant or any other place. Does Senior Xie know what these investors were planning when they decided to gather there?

As she was thinking, she pulled her phone out and typed a few words before sending it to Xie Xing.

Not even a minute has passed since she sent the message, Xie Xing replied. f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋ｎoѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺

[I just found out about this today. The vice director replaced the venue with a villa.]

[I want to go there but I have something urgent to finish first.]

[Be careful.]

Ran Xueyi frowned, but she didn't say anything. The internal affairs of CK show was not something she could interfere with. Xie Xing, the director, was the only person who could stop the vice director, but it seems that his power over CK show was not yet solidified seeing how they found a way to replace the venue without his knowledge.

"Is this the right place?"

Suddenly, a voice came up from behind her.

Ran Xueyi didn't have to turn to figure out who it was and said, "No, they changed the venue."

Adelle heard this and had a grim expression on her face. "Then, shouldn't we report this to administrators?"

"Even if we report it, there's nothing to be done with it."

"What do you mean?"

"The vice director of the CK show arranged this without telling Brother Xie. I'm guessing they're afraid that if he found out, he would stop this from happening," she explained.

"Then, we should make up an excuse and leave." This kind of occurrence was not rare, but it surprisingly happened to a well disciplined and strict CK show. Using an event to attract and secure investors, only those who were desperate for corporations and more funds would resort to these unspoken rules.

"We can't," Song Yu Han suddenly said, making the two girls look at him. "Before the bus entered the area, I noticed several men I suspect to be guards guarding this place. I don't think anyone can leave without the owner of the villa's permission and if someone does get out, they'll be dragged inside."

Adelle paled when she heard this. "How--how can this be? Are they not afraid of being reported to the authorities? Isn't this illegal?"

Ran Xueyi also thought Adelle was right. Illegally detaining everyone without telling them the real purpose of their arrival in that place, would cause a lot of trouble and suspicion. It wouldn't be strange if there were more people who could tell the strangeness of the program and rebel.

But Ran Xueyi did experience a similar event like this one in the past. She was only fourteen at that time and was dragged to an isolated island with twenty other people. The program team disguised the entire thing to be a variety show that was supposed to be filmed at an isolated place, but in actuality, they were there to satisfy the investors and sponsors to get more resources.

At that time, Ran Xueyi did not participate and hid far away from the group until the end, but she witnessed a lot of shady things there. From that point, Ran Xueyi learned that even the shiny and bright spotlights that blinded people when they looked at the stars on the stage couldn't cover the dirt and uncleanliness of the world they live in.

Ran Xueyi hoped that the vice director of CK show didn't plan to do the same.

But as if fate was playing with her, what she was afraid of actually happened.

The organizer stood in front of everyone and moved his lips, "From today until the last day of the program, everyone will stay in this villa. There's no rules and no camera. Everyone can relax while staying here."

Xuan Yi stepped forward and said, "That's not what you told us. Aren't we supposed to walk on a runway while wearing the designs that the CK show decided for us to wear?"

Other people also nodded their heads. The reason why everyone was excited to be invited to the CK show was because they could have connections with different popular and renowned designers. But now, they're telling everyone that they have to stay in the villa until the last day?

Are they all forgetting something?

The organizer had a cold smile on his lips and replied, "Of course, that will still happen. However, the investors decided to play a little game. Everyone here must participate."

"Game? Bullshit!" Xuan Yi couldn't take this any longer. "Are you messing with us? We're not athletes or ordinary people who can waste our time on your little games. We have other plans and you want us to play your game?"

"That's right!"

"Let's stop this and go back to the hotel."

"I'm starving and yet, this is what they'll give us? A game?"

While everyone was making a fuss and voicing out their opinions and desire to leave, Ran Xueyi chose to be silent and stood on a corner with Adelle and Song Yu Han beside her. She watched the organizer's eyes grow colder as the people protested and tried to leave.

However, before anyone could step out of the hall, the door where they just entered was closed tightly and did not budge even when three male models pulled it until their veins bulge on their neck and forehead.

"This is bad... They're really keeping us from leaving this place." Adelle was so scared. This was the first time she experienced this kind of thing.

But it wasn't only her who was scared and confused.

Xuan Yi, being the first to speak out and protest, stared warily at the organizers. Unlike other people in the hall, she guessed that something was already arranged for them to do. The 'game' the organizer had just told them should have something to do with this.

When the organizer saw that everyone slowly realized that something was wrong, his smile became even more genuine as he explained the rules, "Now that everyone is ready to listen, I will be explaining the game rules."

"For three days, everyone will stay here. There will be no rules and no cameras to restrict your actions. But there's an important law you should remember..."

"You must follow the orders of the masked person."

"Everyone must follow the orders of the masked person."

Ran Xueyi and the organizer's voice sounded at the same time.

Ran Xueyi's voice was so low and soft that it was almost inaudible, but Song Yu Han trained his ears and clearly heard her words. He couldn't help but frown.

Song Yu Han's eyes lowered to see Ran Xueyi's eyes were dull and blank, as if she became a puppet with no life.

Worried for her, Song Yu Han grabbed her hand and squeezed it to take her attention away from the organizer while thinking how did Ran Xueyi know the following words that the organizer would say... Did she perhaps encounter the same thing in the past?

"Remember, if you obey all the orders of the masked person, you will receive a reward. You can get and ask for anything on the last day. That's the essence of this game. Do you want to be famous? To get a lead role? Anything is possible."

This time, the people who wanted to leave were tempted. Though they didn't know what the masked person would order them to do and didn't know what will happen during their stay within those three days, they understood that everything they wished for will be granted once they leave there.

Most importantly, there were no cameras and rules. This meant that anything they did inside the villa would not be spread around.

This was a haven for people who were greedy to succeed.

Ran Xueyi turned away from the organizer and sighed. As expected, things never changed even if a decade has passed.

The true unspoken rules have started yet again.
