As soon as the men barged in, they knocked Xiao Wang out with the gunstock and tied them up rudely.
The few of them who had done many horror variety shows realized that the fear of really facing such criminals was far stronger than the thrill they had experienced in the escape room variety shows.
Those researchers must be in cahoots with these kidnappers. Perhaps it had a lot to do with Zheng You’s signal being cut off in the last episode.
Sun Han made a bold guess that these people were after Bai Lin, but he did not dare to say it out loud. He could not do anything, and he could not even call the police. He could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that everyone would be able to survive this crisis.
“We can’t? There’s no one here who can tell me what I can or cannot do.” Bai Lin turned around and looked at them with a cold expression. “1 told you to leave, but you didn’t. It’s none of my business where you go now.”
With that, Bai Lin turned around and went to flight of stairs. Yan Ruo quickly followed her in and locked the door, locking the men outside.
They turned a deaf ear to the knocking on the door and only focused on walking up. On the way, they carefully avoided two NPC checkpoints. Yan Ruo tapped on his earpiece, and Yan-3 immediately gave a brief report on the situation in the production control room.
“Cut off the livestream for three minutes,” Yan Ruo ordered.
Even though Bai Lin knew that Yan Ruo had other identities besides being an actor, she was still surprised that he was able to do whatever he wanted in this show.
[What’s going on with the production team? How many times has the livestream been cut off this season?]
[All the other livestreaming channels are normal except for Best Actor Yan’s. Is it a signal failure again?]
In the production control room, the head of the criminals noticed that one of the livestream channels which were being watched at the same time had turned black. He asked Sun Han in a gruff voice. When sun Han saw that it was Yan Ruo and Bai Lin’s, he pretended to be calm and replied, “Bro, this place is remote, and signal failure is a common problem. Can you let us fix it…”
The gun stock was directly pressed against Sun Han’s neck.
“There’s no need to repair it! The signal will be restored after a while anyway.
We don’t have any intention of running.” Sun Han put down his hand resentfully.
He did not say that the error code indicated that it was man-made. He had wanted to call the police with the opportunity of repairing the signal, but it seemed impossible now.
“Are they coming for me?” Bai Lin asked as she leaned against the wall.
Yan Ruo lowered his eyes. He still felt a little ashamed for not being able to resolve the danger in advance. “Yes.”
“Can you get me a gun?” Bai Lin raised her head and once again used that teasing tone in calling out the form of address, “President Yan?”
From Yan Ruo’s point of view, he did not need to hide anything from Bai Lin. However, if Bai Lin did not ask, he would not take the initiative to tell her either.
After all, the Yan Family was a big family, and the Huan Yu Group had a huge business model. There had been too much darkness and filth buried in the past few years. His hands were not clean as well being able to get to where he was today. He did not want Bai Lin’s pure eyes to be stained with those things.
“I can give you anything you want, Xiao Lin.” Yan Ruo bowed slightly, like a head butler facing his only princess.
Yan-3 was listening to the conversation through his earphones, but he did not dare to make a sound. Seeing that the time was up, he reminded Yan Ruo of the other partys combat ability. Then, he hurriedly went offline and restored the livestream’s signal.
The four researchers were indeed the mercenaries that Zheng You had hired. Cheng Nan was actually a man, but he had disguised himself as a woman to hide his real identity.
After being left behind by Yan Ruo and Bai Lin, he cursed out loud. After a whispered conversation among the few of them, they decided to meet up with Zheng You first before making any plan.
It was just that Zheng You was also upset at this moment.
She realized that Jing Shan would not appear immediately to protect her with all his might when there was danger. When she and Zhou Guang had a dispute over the decryption and other issues, Jing Shan was not completely on her side too.
She had always treated Jing Shan as a loyal dog and only allowed herself to kick this dog away. Now that he was actually choosing to leave the Zheng Family and no longer recognize her as his master, she could not accept this no matter what.
After all, there were still places in this program where he could be used.
“Jing Shan, what do you think about going this way?” Zheng You took the initiative to ask for Jing Shan’s thoughts.
This was something that had never happened before. In Zheng You’s eyes, this was equivalent to giving a favor to Jing Shan.
Unexpectedly, not only did Jing Shan not immediately agree to her suggestion and praise her, he actually thought about it for a while “I think we should still check this laboratory first. What Zhou-ge said makes sense. We can only be prepared when we encounter zombies once we find out their characteristics and weaknesses first.”
This surprised Zheng You..
