My Superstar Wife Is So Popular-Chapter 332 - 330: Holding Multiple Posts

Director Li coughed twice, then waved at the staff members.

The staff members got the hint, and soon, the tightly closed room door opened, and a small matchstick was passed inside.

Wen Qiao saw this and immediately ran over in three large strides, covering the distance of two steps each.

The staff member admonished them, "Cherish this well. If it goes out again, even bringing President Fu’s father here won’t help you."

Before Wen Qiao had the chance to nod, Qi Ming darted over from the corner and grabbed the staff member’s hand.

"Since we’re already here, just let us out directly. Why bother with this unnecessary ’Escape Room’ activity?"

The staff member coldly shook off Qi Ming’s hand and said, "Dream on."

After a pause, he added, "You and the other three regulars all have different tasks to do. Some are responsible for finding food, some for finding shelter, and others for arranging your transport."

Wen Qiao’s eyelid twitched as she asked, "And what are we responsible for?"

The staff member suddenly cracked a smile and said, "You are responsible for whether or not there’s air conditioning in the room you’ll be sleeping in tonight, and if there’ll be any water for bathing."

Wen Qiao: "....."

Qi Ming: "....."

What a heavy responsibility indeed.

Seeing their faces as grim as if they wanted to eat crap, the staff member threw in another log, "Director Li just said, you can just get let out. But that would mean you forfeit, and then your entire team can only sleep in a model room without even a fan tonight, not to mention no chance of a bath."

Hai City was a southern city where the weather in August was unbearably hot. Without air conditioning and the possibility to take a shower, Wen Qiao felt it would be more merciful to just kill her.

The staff member asked, "Still want to go out?"

Qi Ming took a step back and shook his head, "Actually, I think Escape Rooms are quite fun."

Wen Qiao forced a sweet and charming smile, "Thank you. We’ll make sure to complete our tasks."

Qi Ming re-lit the match, and the flame leapt into being. With the previous experience in mind, Qi Ming kept his lips tightly shut, and Wen Qiao was equally cautious.

The two acted as if they were on a special mission, not daring to breathe too heavily lest they extinguish the matchstick.

Wen Qiao held the blank paper over the flame, and slowly a line of words appeared—

Welcome to the "Unexpected" stage.

Wen Qiao: "....."

Qi Ming: "....."

Seeing the words on the paper, both fell silent without agreement.

Excuse me?

What kind of bullshit clue is this?

The matchstick burned out and extinguished itself, the flicker of its light on their faces vanishing. Qi Ming looked at Wen Qiao, "What does this mean on the paper?"

Wen Qiao replied, furrowing her brows, "Whatever it is, it’s definitely not nonsense."

Qi Ming: "Do you even need—"

"What?" Wen Qiao interrupted him.

Qi Ming chose to shut up. It wasn’t until Wen Qiao turned and walked towards the table that he silently added the rest of his sentence behind her back—

You say.

Wen Qiao looked at the monitor on the wall, leaned forward slightly with her hands propped on the table, stared at the five empty slots for a while, then meticulously surveyed the surrounding decorations before finally her gaze settled on the bottle of mineral water with its label torn off.

There was very little on that table—a piece of paper, a bottle of water, a box of matches—all placed right in the center of the table except for the bottle of mineral water which was on the edge, nearly teetering off.
