Chapter 20: The Model Couple
"Aren't you tired of being a model couple who have been pretending to be for so long?"
Hearing Chen Shi's cold questioning, Gu Yi turned around in displeasure.
"Gu Yi, can I ask you a question, when did you stay here?"
"I came here at eight o'clock, what's wrong?" Gu Yi's answer was not good, he had already automatically blamed Chen Shi for He Anqi's disappearance.
The time when Gu Yi and He Anqi were separated was about half past one at noon, until eight o'clock, nearly seven hours, Gu Yi should not have entered the maze, so what was he doing in these eight hours?
"And what did you do from noon to eight o'clock?" Chen Shi then asked, although the question seemed to just want Gu Yi to state his actions in chronological order, the purpose was already obvious.
"I'm sleepy and go to sleep, does it have anything to do with you?" From the tone of Gu Yi's speech, he sounded a little weak-hearted, but he still forced himself to put on a reasonable look: "I slept until more than six o'clock, and when I came over after eating something, I found that I couldn't find Anqi, and I just happened to run into Mr. Ye, so we kept looking everywhere and found it at eight o'clock." β
Gu Yi gave Ye Wei a look and motioned for him to help explain, which was exactly what Chen Shi wanted.
"Mr. Ye." Chen Shi looked at Ye Wei and asked, "So what did you do in one day today?" β
"I didn't do anything, I just slept until noon, and I came here when I wanted to come down and walk around." Ye Wei lied, his face did not change, his heart did not beat, and he showed a very plain look: "It's important to find someone, do you still have time to manage the little couple here?" β
"Finding someone matters? Scold! Chen Shi sneered, took a step forward and stood face to face with Gu Yi, their eyes were no more than ten centimeters apart, and they looked at each other: "Actually, what you want, Mr. Gu, is that your fiancΓ©e will never come back, right?" β
"What did you say!"
Gu Yi's face turned cold, and he pushed Chen Shi fiercely: "Anqi is not there, I am more anxious than anyone else, you are the culprit not only not in a hurry to find it, but also sow discord here, what is your intention?!" β
"yes, what is the intention?"
Ye Wei also pointed the finger at Chen Shi: "Who knows if he has bad intentions in a relatively closed place like the labyrinth, afraid that we will go in and find clues to delay time here?" β
Seeing that Ye Wei and Gu Yi were still in the mood to argue with themselves at this juncture, it confirmed the previous speculation.
"I don't want to answer these questions, I just want to ask one thing, Ye Wei, why are you lying? And Gu Yi, you didn't debunk his lies. β
Chen Shi pointed to the Mysterious Garden: "I clearly remember that when I met you and your girlfriend there, you told me that you were still with Ye Wei not long before I came, and at that time, He Anqi interrupted you and didn't let you continue." β
"This shows that you, He Anqi and Ye Wei, the three of you have some unsavory plans, and you don't want me to know."
Seeing that Gu Yi and Ye Wei's faces became ugly, Chen Shi continued: "Of course, I'm not interested in this, I just say what I see and hear. β
"You and He Anqi came before I came down, and then Ah Lai took us down, and then Zheng Rong, Bai Chu and Fu Kangbo, we met you and your girlfriend before we separated, and it was at that time that you told me in person that you were with Ye Wei before."
"So Ye Wei, you can only come down with the two of them at ten o'clock."
Chen Shi's eyes stared at Ye Wei directly, paused for a few seconds, and said coldly: "Say, why are you lying?" β
Seeing that Ye Wei didn't speak again, Chen Shi knew that what he had said before him was not in vain: "If you don't want to say it, I'll say it for you." β
"Gu Yi, He Anqi and Ye Wei, the three of you have already made plans for other players before you meet me, in addition, Ye Wei, you have also tailored two sets of plans for the two of them to get rid of each other, am I right?"
"Of course, you don't have to answer." Chen Shi took out a note from his pocket, which was the note that someone stuffed into him before the repechage match began, saying "Truth or Dare": "This is raw pulp paper, not everyone will use it." The first time I saw it, I was on the bus when I first came, and when you said that He Anqi was your girlfriend, the notebook she was holding in her hand, and the paper was like this. β
"The second time I saw this kind of paper, this one I received now. Angel Ho didn't participate in the repechage, so the only person who sent me this message was you. β
"And the third time, when I just came out of the labyrinth, I saw this kind of paper again, it was in Ye Wei's hands, and I knew that things were not so simple." Chen Shi stepped forward and took out a ball of paper while Ye Wei was holding his pocket.
Chen Shi slowly unfolded the note and held it in front of Gu Yi's eyes, and only wrote a short sentence on the note: "After he goes up, the rest will be handed over to you." β
"Such a delicate word, it shouldn't have been written by the two of you, right?" Chen Shi looked at Gu Yi coldly: "I know that the people who can be invited and volunteer to participate in this game will never be completely simple, I can roughly guess what your plan is." β
"First of all, He Anqi and Ye Wei, you two make a good deal, and after you come down with Gu Yi, find an opportunity for him to go up and take the opportunity to get rid of him."
Speaking of this, Chen Shi smiled: "But Ye Wei, you are so cunning and cunning, you know very well in your heart, if you don't have a complete grasp, you don't dare to mess around here, if you don't have to die, you don't want to dirty your hands, it's a big deal to let him live, what's more, he has a lot of brute strength, he has no real skills, he has taken his weakness, and he can use it in the future." β
"So your real purpose is not Gu Yi, but me and He Anqi. From the first round of the game, you've noticed me and deliberately targeted me, because you know, the two of us have gotten to the point where we can't die. β
"The plan of the three of you must be to lead me into a labyrinth so that I can't return to the room within the allotted time, and I will be eliminated as a result. If you want He Anqi to work for you, you will definitely make all plans, such as you tell her that you can get out of the maze smoothly by turning right all the time? β
Chen Shi smiled slyly: "At the beginning, when I walked with her, she always purposefully guided me to turn right, but after the two of us separated, I obviously told her to tie a cloth strip at the intersection, but she didn't do it, and at this time I knew that I was being tricked!" β
"However, I am not worried, because I am not the only one who has been played, although the maze is complicated, but when she turned right all the way before, she returned to the place where we walked countless times, so she was inside, that is, she kept going around in circles."
"She has been in there for so long, and in order to trap me, she didn't tie the strip of cloth according to my requirements, so she won't be able to find out that she has been going around in circles for a while, which is why she hasn't appeared yet, and all this is also within the scope of Gu Yi and Ye Wei's plans."
"In Ye Wei's plan, He Anqi will definitely not be able to come out, and I will most likely not be able to come out within the specified time, and I have lost two competitors, which is in your hands."
The reason why Chen Shi is so sure is because he mentioned in the introduction of players that Gu Yi and He Anqi are not only high school classmates and college alumni, but also world friends, and their families have their own businesses, so at the beginning, the reason that Gu Yi said that he wanted to come here to earn some money in order to prepare for the wedding was not valid at all. The real purpose of their coming here is to get rid of each other.
The two have had a good relationship since high school, confirmed their relationship in college, and have been preparing to get married for eleven years now. In the past eleven years, the two have experienced too much from the beginning of their love to their love and then to the current marriage. Over the years, whenever the two want to break up, they will be pressured by the family, so that the relationship between the two has to continue.
In this game, debts can be repaid, and only when people can never go back, can the other party be at peace.
"I don't know what I'm deducing, are you still satisfied?" Chen Shi didn't say it thoroughly, after all, there was no outsider except Ah Lai, and everyone knew it in their hearts.
"Gu Yi, if you still want to maintain the illusion of affection between the two of you, just wait here for her to come out, I'm going back to rest. The reason why I said it so clearly is that I don't want to be calculated and carry the black pot, that is, He Anqi did not come out of here today, and it has nothing to do with me. β
Chen Shi finished his words word by word, and finally glanced at Ye Wei coldly, turned around and left.
Ye Wei's meaning couldn't be more obvious, he pretended to help Gu Yi get rid of He Anqi, and pretended to help He Anqi get rid of Gu Yi, no matter who left the two in the end, he would be dead set on him.
What's more, using He Anqi to introduce herself into the labyrinth, even if she comes out, she can directly separate the relationship between Gu Yi and herself. After all, after the repechage match, he found that there were only two people on his side, him and Bai Chu, and the rest were on his side.
If it goes well, not only will there be one less person on his side, but the other will be able to move into his camp.
When Chen Shi took the cable car back to the main building again, Wen Wen pounced like crazy: "Brother, you are finally back, where is Alai?" Something happened! β
Something happened?!
β¦β¦
"Have you slept well all these years?"
Bai Chu's body trembled violently, and when she heard this voice, she knew that everything was over. If you can be more careful in the car when you come, and find that he is also coming, I will definitely leave as soon as I can.
The voice came from Fu Kangbo, two whole years have passed, and he has changed too much.
Seeing Bai Chu again, that kind of love-hate relationship is something that others can't experience.
"Yours, roommates, where have they gone?"
Fu Kangbo's voice was still so magnetic, so gentle, it sounded cautious, as if the Bai Chu she was facing was not a person, but a porcelain, and a louder voice would shatter her.
But if someone was next to him at this time, he would definitely fall into a depressed and fearful atmosphere, because he would find that Fu Kangbo's eyes were full of hatred, as if he wanted to execute the person in front of him and then crush the bones and ashes.
"They...... Soon to be back......" Every time Fu Kangbo took a step forward, Bai Chu took a step back, and in just a dozen seconds, he was forced to the window.
"Really? Don't lie to me," Fu Kangbo put his mouth to Bai Chu's ear and said in a deep voice: "Then let's catch up on the old days before they come back." β
