Chapter 455: Random Group

Gao Yang changed his mind because he saw the address of the escape room, 26th floor of the Xiangxi Building in Feiyang District, which was the location the mysterious woman had been found to go past when leaving, as Chen Ying had told him.

Could it really be a mere coincidence?

With level 4 Lucky, Gao Yang had come to learn the magical effect of the Talent, and he valued and paid attention to coincidences more than others.

Although the woman wouldn’t be there, perhaps he would get lucky and find some clues.

The six of them hailed two taxis to get to their destination. Gao Yang, Can, and Mi Shi shared a car, while Qiu Qiu, Zhou Jing, and Lin Dajian rode in the other car.

Mi Shi took the passenger seat, and Gao Yang and Can stayed in the backseat.

Can leaned toward Gao Yang and typed a line with her phone, showing it to Gao Yang discreetly.

Can: I remember now, Captain, isn’t the escape room located where Sister Chen Ying talked about? Are we going to investigate? Is it going to be dangerous?

Gao Yang took out his phone to type a response and showed it to Can.

Gao Yang: Don’t worry. Just play like regular patrons and investigate along the way.

Can nodded and typed ‘understood’, handing her phone to Gao Yang.

Gao Yang looked down and paused for a second, expression awkward. New n0vel chapters are published on

Confused, Can quickly took her phone back and only realized then that Zhou Jing had just sent a message to her. Gao Yang happened to see the notification.

Zhou Jing: Seize the opportunity, Orange. Let’s hope for losing your v-card tonight hahaha.

Can blushed from her face all the way to the back of her ears. She wanted nothing more but to find a place to hide. She shouldn’t be in the car, but under it.

...

The next twenty minutes were the most awkward, difficult twenty minutes in Can’s life.

Finally, they arrived at their destination and got out of the car by the road.

The lower floors of the Xiangxi Building were used for business. Facing a crossroad that saw great traffic, there was a shopping mall, as well as various restaurants and bars.

The six of them entered a narrow alleyway on the left and made it to the back of the Xiangxi Building, riding an elevator to the higher residential floors.

Although the upper floors were supposed to be for residential purposes, most of the flats had been turned into recreational establishments, including arcades, tabletop bars, roleplay murder mysteries, and escape rooms.

“What do you think their relationship is, Little Gao?” Lin Dajian nudged at Gao Yang’s shoulder with his elbow, speaking in a low voice.

Gao Yang thought about it.

The pair was strange. Neither the girl nor the old gentleman seemed like the type to come to an escape room.

“Probably father and daughter,” Mi Shi said softly. It turned out that he had been eyeing the pair, too.

“They can’t be.” Lin Daijian smiled strangely. “They don’t dress like that, and they don’t look similar.”

“Can they be...” Can had a bold guess, but she was too embarrassed to say it.

“Lovers,” Gao Yang said in a voice that only the group could hear.

“For real?” Mi Shi felt like the floor was shattering underneath his feet. Although the man looked well put together and quite charming, there was a large age gap between the two.

“The rings,” Gao Yang added.

The three looked over and indeed, both of them were wearing a platinum ring on their left middle finger, which must be a pair for a couple.

The man and girl noticed the attention. The girl lowered her head and started using her phone, while the man nodded at them easily, unfazed, shooting them a friendly smile.

That left the four feeling guilty.

“Um, hey, why don’t we play HOK?” Lin Dajian quickly changed the subject to smooth the atmosphere.

“Yeah, yeah,” Can immediately agreed.

Just then, a young woman appeared at the front desk.

“I’m late. I’ve made a reservation for No.9 Hospital,” she said.

The receptionist responded, “The others are all here. With you here, the group is good to go.”

“I’m sorry. I got delayed.”

The last player to join the group entered the waiting room.

She was dressed in a navy blue checkered dress and a beige cardigan, wearing light makeup. Her brown airy curls were tied loosely into braids, a few strands breaking free by her cheeks mischievously. Her slightly down-curved eyes and lips made her delicate face look cynical.

“Seven...Gao Yang?” Vermilion Bird was surprised.

“Sister Xia.” Gao Yang smiled with a hint of resignation. “What a coincidence.”
