Chapter 693: Chapter 682: Escape from the Secret Room
"You little scoundrel! Look at what you've done, now get on your knees and apologize to President Zhan and Miss
Qiao right away!"
Upon hearing Fu Yun’s words, Fu Ming's jaw almost dropped in surprise.
"Dad, even though this is President Zhan, and | indeed did wrong, | can apologize, but are you sure you want me
to kneel and apologize?"
How could he, who had been pampered by his family all this way, easily kneel before others?
Even though fear and trepidation rose in his heart upon realizing that he was facing the tycoon of the Empire
Capital, he still refused to kneel.
As the saying goes, ‘a man’s knees are filled with gold,” how could he kneel so easily before someone else?!
Fu Yun was about to explode with anger due to Fu Ming. Without another word, he grabbed his son’s hand,
twisted it behind his back, and then swiftly kicked at his knee.
"Hurry up! If | tell you to kneel and apologize, then kneel and apologize. What's with all the nonsense?"
If today he can’t satisfy President Zhan, by tomorrow their Fu Family would be...
No, not even tomorrow, without needing a whole night, President Zhan could easily ruin the Fu Family!
He thought this, and it was not at all an exaggeration.
Even though both the Fu Family and the Zhan Family were local magnates, he was merely the magnate of the
small An City. When compared with the bustling Empire Capital, the difference was like night and day and it was
not even worth mentioning!
Fu Ming, having been kicked mercilessly by his dad, winced in pain but was still stubbornly refusing to kneel.
Fu Yun, enraged, kicked him again only to find his son stubborn as an ox. He had no choice but to call in the
outside bodyguards.
"Go, press Fu Ming to the ground, and make him kneel and apologize!"
Before Fu Ming could resist, he was already forcibly pressed down by the bodyguards and had no choice but to
kneel, lifting his head to look at Zhan Qipei and Qiao Jing in front of him.
But he wasn't really foolish, initially he only resisted to save face, besides he hadn't said that he wouldn't
apologize.
Now that he had already knelt, of course, he was going to start apologizing.
"President Zhan, Miss Qiao, I'm truly sorry. Before, it was my fault for having inappropriate thoughts. Please, both
of you, as adults, could you forgive the follies of a junior likeand letoff?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtToday his face as the young master of the Fu Family was completely thrown away here!
When he thought back, these bodyguards, who were clearly brought by his dad to overpower President Zhan,
had now becthe ones to suppress him?
Qiao Jing didn’t want to drag things out with Fu Ming and his lot, considering she still wanted to go to the hot
springs.
Moreover, Fu Ming wasn’t as bad as Lou Xinrou had been, and apologizing now was pretty much enough.
Her lips slightly parted, she spoke up:
"Alright, Zhan Qipei, let's go back."
She had chere to relax in the hot springs, not to deal with all these various issues.
Seeing this, Zhan Qipei stood up and followed behind Qiao Jing, responding with a sentence.
"Okay."
The two left the hall and headed toward the floor where they were staying, leaving only Fu Ming, who was still
kneeling in the hall, as well as Fu Yun and the bodyguards.
After Zhan Qipei and the others left, Fu Yun hurriedly commanded the bodyguards to release Fu Ming, and with a
face full of pain, he said:
"My son, although things have calmed down now, I still have to kick you out of the house for a while. Don’t be
mad or blme, who asked you to offend someone we simply cannot afford to offend? I've already put out the
word, so | absolutely have to follow through."
Seeing that Fu Yun was serious, Fu Ming's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Damn, Dad, are you for real? | thought that after they left, this matter would just go away. Plus, Miss Qiao didn’t
say much just now, do you really have to kickout of the house? I'm going to tell Grandpa!"
If he got kicked out of the house, he wouldn't even know how to survive outside.
Fu Yun let out a deep sigh and gently patted Fu Ming's shoulder.
"I'm sorry, son, but telling your grandfather about this will be futile. If he knew it was the Zhan Family involved,
his choice would be the sas mine."
As more onlookers began to gather in the hall, Fu Ming quickly covered his face and hurriedly walked out.
"Let’s get out of here first. | don’t want to lose face in this place."
In the blink of an eye, the vacation had reached its final day.
Qiao Jing looked at the calendar note on her phone, realizing today was the last day of the holiday.
She had relaxed for a full seven days, during which she and Zhan Qipei had visited several tourist spots and
enjoyed the hot springs for several days as well.
On this last day, Zhan Qipei suggested a new destination.
Qiao Jing glanced at Zhan Qipei, and with suncertainty, she asked,
"Are you sure you want to go to an escape room?"
Although she had heard about what escape rooms were like, she had never been to one.
She was actually quite curious and wanted to try it, but considering it was the last day of her holiday, she had
intended to pack up and go straight back, so she could return to work earlier.
Zhan Qipei nodded, his eyes reflecting his resolve.
"Yes, my subordinates mentioned an escape room that’s quite famous for its challenging puzzles, and I'd like to
check it out with you."
He had actually searched online for ways to enhance intimacy between couples; one of the tips was to take your
girlfriend to a haunted house, where she would instinctively rush into the man’s arms when scared, thus
warming up the relationship.
Although he wanted to follow this
advice, he felt that Qiao Jing would

However, he was keenly aware that Qiao Jing wasn’t like other women, but he still decided to give it a try, even if
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmit meant just having her rely on him for a bit.
Seeing the fervor in Zhan Qipei’s eyes, Qiao Jing couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Why did Zhan Qipei seem so adamant about going? What was he scheming?
In the end, Qiao Jing agreed to go.
"Okay."
Because she too found it intriguing and wanted to see for herself if the puzzles were as challenging as they were
made out to be.
A moment later,
Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei arrived at the entrance of the escape room and entered together.
Both of them noticed that from the outside, the establishment looked no different from any ordinary store, but
once they opened the door, the interior was dimly lit.
Perhaps to emphasize the theme, the interior was even decorated to resemble a hospital.
Upon seeing the new arrivals, the front desk staff was about to stick to the routine and try to frighten them, but
he quickly recognized the two guests as VIPs!
He immediately turned on all the lights in the store and emerged from behind the slightly ajar door, saying
respectfully:
"President Zhan, Miss Qiao, welcome! Did you bring any teammates with you?"
Hearing the staff member's words, Qiao Jing was taken aback and furrowed her brows slightly.
"What teammates? Do we need more people? It’s just the two of us playing."
It wasn’t that she thought having teammates would be troublesome; rather, she was confident about having
higher coordination and solving puzzles quickly with Zhan Qipei.
If there were teammates, she might have to be considerate of their gaming experience.
