Chapter 645 - Escape Room (3)

Chapter 645: Escape Room (3)

There were too many potential clues in the room. As a result, they had to eliminate all the unnecessary clues.
Jian Yiling was not in a rush to find the passcode. Instead, she began to observe the room to filter through unnecessary information.
Escape rooms generally followed a storyline. And thus, the clues in this room should relate to the dummy in the first room.
Based on the information from the first room, a newspaper clipping caught Jian Yiling’s attention. The newspaper clipping on the bookshelf had a sentence about disembowelment.
Even if someone is dressed up beautifully, if they do not have a conscience, then their stomach will be empty.
The sentence about the empty stomach linked to the dummy in the previous room.
And thus, a person without a conscience was likely to be a clue for this room.
Then, Jian Yiling searched the study desk. There was a thick stack of notes on the study desk.
Jian Yiling quickly flipped through the notes and came up with an answer.
In the notes, there was a reference to a case of a heartless doctor who inflicted pain on his patients.
And thus, Jian Yiling used the date of this article to open the door.
If Jian Yiling solved the puzzle once, then she could be said to be lucky.
However, solving the puzzle twice would no longer be a matter of luck would it now?
She couldn’t possibly be that lucky!
And thus, Jian Yiling was definitely a genius! She must have an incredibly high IQ!
Now, everyone looked at Jian Yiling in a different way.
Previously, although they respected her quite a lot, that respect was because of Zhai Yunsheng. It wasn’t because of Jian Yiling.
Furthermore, even though they respected her, in their hearts of hearts, they still looked down upon her.
They were not impressed with Jian Yiling’s social standing and background. In addition, they felt that Jian Yiling did not belong in their social circle.
In fact, even Han Mengyu and Xing Wei felt this way.
But now, they gradually changed their views of Jian Yiling.
Han Mengyu couldn’t help but sigh: “Master Sheng, your future wife’s intelligence is far beyond my reach.”
Zhai Yunsheng smiled before he said: “That’s only natural.”
Then, he reminded Han Mengyu: “Don’t forget to give us the prize money.”
Han Mengyu: “…”
Wasn’t that a bit too much? Why would Master Sheng focus on the prize money?! His friend had changed!
Then, in the next few rooms, Jian Yiling did not give the others an opportunity to play.
In fact, Jian Yiling led the others through the next five rooms incredibly quickly.
At this moment, Yao Moping suddenly spoke up: “Miss Yiling, we can’t enjoy ourselves if you do this. We can just give you all the prize money. However, in exchange, can you please let us enjoy the escape room?”
Yao Moping’s words made everyone stop.
The atmosphere became incredibly awkward.
Yao Moping’s words made it sound like Jian Yiling only had her eyes on the prize money. In addition, it was as though Jian Yiling did not care about the others.
Everyone went silent.
They all knew the reason why Yao Moping said this.
However, they did not dare to mention that reason. They did not want to hurt Yao Moping.
In their hearts, Yao Moping meant much more to them. After all, they had hung out with Yao Moping for quite a few years already.
Faced with everyone’s awkward expressions, Jian Yiling suddenly remembered a scene that happened a long time ago.
That time, her parents had brought her home once, and only once.
Back then, she was around eight years old.
It was the first time that she met her relatives. In addition, it was the first time that she hung out with people around her own age.
Jian Yiling enjoyed playing with them.
However, after a while, things became awkward.
Jian Yiling had finished the entire game by herself. As a result, the others could only stand beside her and watch.
Later on, they did not want to play with her anymore. As a result, they excluded her from their future games.
