Chapter 694: Chapter 683: Separating from Zhan Qipei
The staff member was momentarily stunned and showed a troubled expression before tentatively speaking:
"Um... Miss Qiao, the hospital thfor our escape room requires a team of six people to play because each
person will be given an Identity Card to role-play with. I'm really sorry, | forgot to mention this to you earlier."
Upon hearing the staff member's words, Qiao Jing slightly furrowed her brows.
"But there are only two of us."
If they really needed to form a team to play, then she would have to leave the puzzle-solving to her teammates;
if she were to solve the puzzles herself, they would probably be out in no time.
Zhan Qipei had not anticipated the necessity of teaming up with others either and furrowed his long brows.
"Can't two people play?"
He had brought Qiao Jing here with the intention of spending talone with her to develop their relationship. If
other people joined them, it would completely interfere with his plans to foster a relationship with Qiao Jing.
The staff member, intimidated by the aura of the two, grew even more afraid when considering their identities.
He chose his words very carefully before slowly speaking.
"Er... it’s not that two people can’t play, it’s just... the experience might... not be as good..."
With these two big shots in front of him, how could he dare to say no?
Zhan Qipei pursed his thin lips and glanced over at the gentrance.
"Let's go."
He and Qiao Jing could get through the escape room by themselves; they didn’t need those so-called teammates
whose presence would only hinder the development of his relationship with Qiao Jing.
Just as Qiao Jing was about to walk into the passage with Zhan Qipei, she suddenly caught a glimpse of several
Identity Cards on the table out of the corner of her eye.
She paused in her steps, looking up at the staff member who had a troubled look on his face.
After a brief moment of contemplation, she decided to adhere to the grules.
"Let’s wait here for other players to come, and we can form a team with them."
When Zhan Qipei heard Qiao Jing’s words, his long brows gathered like mountains shrouded in mist, and a touch
of displeasure showed in his dark eyes.
But he didn’t voice any objection and instead agreed.
"Okay."
Although he didn’t know why Qiao Jing had suddenly agreed, he was fine with just listening to his wife.
Seeing that the two had finally agreed to join a team with others, the staff member let out a sigh of relief.

short wait, not too long! Ill contact speople immediately!"
Qiao Jing nodded and went with Zhan Qipei to sit on the sofa.
The staff member glanced worriedly at the two and asked cautiously:
"That... can | turn off the lights? Because this thneeds to create a horror atmosphere, so | need to turn off
the lights."
Qiao Jing responded indifferently with a "Hmm."
Seeing that both had agreed, the staff member turned off the lights in the store once more, plunging it back into
dimness.
Soon after, two people walked through the door.
The woman, holding the man’s hand, was laughing and talking as they entered.
Upon seeing the dim light in the store, the woman immediately stepped back, hiding behind the man.
"You walk in front."
The man responded with a "Yes" and protected the woman behind him, heading straight to the front desk to ask:
"How many people does this gthrequire in a group? How many are you short of?"
No sooner had his words fallen than the door of the store was pushed open again.
Qiao Jing looked up towards the door and noticed two boys had arrived, making it a group of six.
She stood up and walked towards the front desk to approach the staff member.
"We now have six people," she said.
The staff member quickly stood up, not wanting to disappoint Qiao Jing, and cover with the Identity Cards.
"The gcan start now. Cand draw an Identity Card, then put on the corresponding costume, and you'll
be ready to go in," the staff member told them.
He had just been considering whether to reduce the difficulty of the game. Although President Zhan was
certainly very capable, he didn’t know whether Miss Qiao could solve the puzzles.
However, he ultimately decided not to simplify the problems in order to maintain the balance of the game.
Another staff member brought several sets of clothes over, placing the Identity Cards on the table for the group
to draw from at random.
Qiao Jing casually picked one, turned it over, and discovered her role was a nurse.
After checking her Identity Card, her gaze shifted to Zhan Qipei.
His role was a doctor.
Just as Qiao Jing was about to say something, the staff member at the front desk opened another door, leading
to a pitch-black corridor.
The staff member made a welcoming gesture and said, "The ghas started. Please line up one behind the
other in order of entrance."
Qiao Jing led the way, with Zhan Qipei closely following behind her, then a young couple, and the two boys.
As they stepped into the corridor, the door behind them was immediately shut.
In an instant, their sight plunged into darkness.
The corridor was so dark they
couldn't see their hands in front of
their faces. If pot forthe sound of

might have thought she'd lost the

Qiao Jing calculated the tin her head. They had been in the corridor for a few minutes, but it seemed to have
no end...
And then, the footsteps from behind disappeared.
She was immediately aware that
something was off, furrowed her
brows, and was ahold Eee

She quickly let go and was guided by the staff member into a small room.
Qiao Jing heard the sound of the door closing; the staff member had left.
Her eyes had already adjusted to the darkness. Just as she was about to search for clues in the dark room, the
door suddenly opened again, and a voice cthrough.
"Ah... it's so dark in here, | wish | hadn't agreed to this game! At least | didn’t get separated from you; otherwise,
| wouldn't be able to continue playing."
Following that was a male voice.
"Don’t worry, just stay close behind me. | will solve all the puzzles and lead you out," he said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the room con, allowing the three to clearly see each other's
faces.
Qiao Jing recognized from the voice that the newcomers were the couple, but apart from her and the couple,
there was no one else in the room.
She understood that the staff had split the team into pairs, probably to have them complete tasks separately.
But as luck would have it, she had been separated from Zhan Qipei.
The couple looked surprised upon realizing there was someone else in the room.
The man, using the light in the room, clearly saw Qiao Jing’s face and a look of amazement flickered in his eyes.
Earlier, in the dim light outside, he had not seen her face clearly and had no idea she was so beautiful!
But he didn’t forget what their main goal was and started to introduce himself.
"Considering the current situation, we seem to be teammates. Let's introduce ourselves. Hello, my nis Zhou
Yunxiang, and this is my girlfriend, Li Yunyun."
