Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 541: Passing By Without Spying
Tuanzi vaguely heard some sounds again and wasn’t sure, so she pressed her little ear tightly against the wall, her two little paws propping against the wall.
Zuo Qiu saw her action, hesitated for a few seconds, and cautiously pressed his ear to the wall too.
He heard nothing.
She pressed again!
Still heard nothing.
The little girl looked pitifully at Zuo Jingxin, who gently rubbed her little head.
[Miaomiao: It’s so strange, there are indeed footsteps, but they don’t seem to be coming from next door?]
Hearing a sound and judging the location of a sound are different.
Tuanzi was conflicted for a while, then slowly moved to the side of the man with white hair and golden eyes, "Third Senior Brother, did you hear it?"
The more experienced Tantai Yi lightly nodded.
"Not clear, but it doesn’t seem to be coming from next door, nor from upstairs."
After a pause, Tantai Yi added, "There’s no sign of living beings next door."
The siblings have martial arts skills, allowing them to judge sounds and signs, but the other guests and staff couldn’t make similar assessments.
However, long-term cooperation led the guests and staff to choose to trust this pair of siblings.
Viewers across the screen found it even harder to judge.
[I don’t understand, what do you mean by sounds not coming from next door or upstairs]
[No sign of living beings but there are sounds, surely it can’t be...]
[Everybody believes in science, science makes me happy]
[I don’t believe in ghosts. Are they deliberately saying this to attract attention and create buzz? I wonder if it’s their idea or the program’s idea]
[Upstairs, how do you explain this]
Upstairs, two teams of guests have no martial arts skills, so they couldn’t even determine when the sounds started appearing.
They used a plastic cup to make a simple listening device, and the six of them took turns listening.
While downstairs was still discussing, Boss Xu suddenly frowned and puzzled, "It seems there’s a sound, but it’s very faint. Why does it seem more like it’s coming from downstairs, not next door?"
Both sons rushed to listen.
They heard the sound, but couldn’t judge.
"Let me have a listen."
Qiu Yu took the simple listening device with a smile, looking relaxed and comfortable. With elegant movements, he leaned in to listen and nodded affirmatively toward Boss Xu, "Indeed, there’s sound. It’s very faint, coming from downstairs."
[Wow, Mr. Qiu is amazing even without martial arts. He came up with such a good idea]
[Here’s a new problem: the sixth floor says it’s not upstairs or next door, and the seventh floor says it’s downstairs not next door. So which floor is the sound from? Aren’t only the sixth and seventh floors empty?]
[How come when they hear the sound you don’t question them, but when those with martial arts hear it, you say they’re fabricating facts to attract attention? Don’t be too double-standard]
[The identity of the double standard group is obvious, don’t bother. I’m more curious about what they will do next]
On the sixth floor, Tuanzi and the others couldn’t see the screen. Being the parties involved, they wanted to solve their own doubts.
"Senior Brother," Tuanzi glanced at the camera, indicating for Tantai Yi to bend down, and when he did, she almost whispered, "Actually, the best solution is to take a look next door."
Past experience had taught her that random guessing only wastes time and mood; seeing is believing.
Tantai Yi maintained his bent posture and nodded lightly.
He also agreed that seeing is believing.
However, he had just heard the director complain during the day, saying that many things can’t be crossed, can’t enter without permission, can’t spy, otherwise the public’s criticism would drown him.
The young hero thought modern people were strange, having a habit of spitting casually.
"Do you have a solution?" he asked Tuanzi.
The little girl chuckled. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
"Miaomiao is good at exploiting loopholes!"
Previously relying on loopholes, she got quite a few candies from Jin Chunchao and Gu Zhuo’s brothers. Of course, Gu Cheng’s leniency also played a part, otherwise the powerful eldest brother would have blocked all the roads.
"We’re not going in," the little girl twisted her body proudly, "we’re just accidentally passing by with cameras. Can accidental captures be considered recording?"
Tantai Yi: "..."
[Ancient Martial System: You’re indeed good at exploiting loopholes, but have you considered that the curtains next door have already been drawn?]
[Miaomiao: Hehe, isn’t Little Gu here? Little Gu just slightly opens the curtains a bit, that’s doable, right? Wow, Little Gu, you’re incredible!]
In Tantai Yi’s view, the little junior sister smiled triumphantly, then suddenly showed a flattering smile, as if communicating with someone non-existent.
Similar scenes he’d seen many times at Gu Mansion.
The junior sister had a secret she couldn’t share with them.
Tantai Yi was willing to protect this secret.
He slightly turned to block the camera.
Tuanzi successfully used the lottery chance to get the system’s help.
The system indicated it would only use energy to slightly open the curtains, and it had the ability to solve issues like lighting but wouldn’t do so. If the adjacent room suddenly lit up, that would be a true supernatural event.
After consulting, Tuanzi looked forward to borrowing a camera from the staff.
"Just those action cameras, we’re going out for a flight. Maybe we’ll find some clues?"
The program crew was well-prepared, and Director Ming had instructed to meet any of Tuanzi’s needs.
The siblings each took a camera, glancing at the moonlight tonight, and flew out from Mr. Qin’s house’s balcony.
[The thrilling moment has arrived]
[After months, I’ve experienced the feeling of flying again]
[But isn’t filming secretly bad]
[What secret filming? Didn’t you hear them say they’re patrolling around to see if there are any suspicious characters?]
[Free patrols, they’re too kind]
[Security patrols on the ground, they’re patrol in the air, great, leaving no room for suspicious characters]
To leave no evidence, the two acted separately. The action cameras were pinned to their collars, rotating as they moved their bodies, sweeping past the house next to Mr. Qin’s.
Through the lifted curtains, they saw furniture covered with various coverings. Due to insufficient lighting, it wasn’t very clear, but it was enough to see there was no movement in the living room.
After that, they circled to the bedroom’s external wall, also finding no movement inside.
[Nobody! Then who made the sound?]
[Goosebumps rising]
[I dare not go to the bathroom alone now]
[That’s the sixth floor’s situation, what about the seventh floor?]
Tuanzi and Tantai Yi regrouped, said nothing, and simultaneously stepped on the exterior wall of the building, spinning upwards, sweeping the seventh floor too.
Old Mrs. Zhou’s adjacent house was similarly dust-proofed, unoccupied, and without movement.
The two regrouped again, landing on Old Mrs. Zhou’s balcony.
Qiu Yu and Boss Xu happened to open the balcony door, finding two people, faces hidden in shadow, startling them to swallow down their saliva.
