Chapter 1 What Did You Do?

"What did you do?"

Charlie, who was searching alone in Mu Chen's room, heard Lu Xiaoyao's loud return and door slam. He turned to see Lu Xiaoyao's face puffed up in anger.

"Went out and got played."

"You went out to get someone to play you?"

"What kind of talk is that?!" Lu Xiaoyao glared at Charlie, who didn't know how to talk, and said, "I went to gather information."

"So, judging by the looks of you, you didn't find anything out and got played?"

Lu Xiaoyao: "If you really think you don't know how to talk, then shut up, hmph!"

"But you yourself said you were played, how did you get played, tell me about it."

Seeing that Lu Xiaoyao was really angry to the point where her eyes were red, Charlie put down what he was doing and let Lu Xiaoyao sit on the sofa to calm down, taking the opportunity to ask about the situation.

Little did he know, what made Lu Xiaoyao angry wasn't being played, but Charlie's words, which were simply adding fuel to the fire!

"Who is so dense and doesn't understand that sharing is a virtue and unity is strength?"

Seeing Lu Xiaoyao sitting there still glaring at him, Charlie finally softened his tone and said what Lu Xiaoyao wanted to hear.

"Exactly, I just said let's exchange information and cooperate, and then I told him the information I got from my lunchbox, but Li Yuan actually tricked me!"

"How did he trick you?"

"He said, said, 'Is what you think you think?'"

"Huh?"

"Right, huh? You say you're confused like that, let alone me! What the heck was he saying? I even asked him what he meant, and then he just left without saying anything!" Lu Xiaoyao became more and more angry as she spoke. "Tell me, isn't it his fault?"

Although he didn't think it was a good idea for Lu Xiaoyao to reveal her hand right away and ask the other party to fairly share the information he knew, Li Yuan's appearance did seem quite indifferent.

"You went to him to exchange information, why didn't you come to me?"

"You? Didn't we buy the same lunchbox?" Lu Xiaoyao didn't think she could get any different information from Charlie at all.

But Charlie's face revealed a different meaning, and he said, "But the information in my lunchbox is a hint: 'This game isn't difficult, please enjoy the game, players.'"

"Eh?"

Lu Xiaoyao, who was just lying on the sofa, immediately sat up straight and looked at Charlie in disbelief when she heard his words, and asked, "You got that? It really is different from mine, mine said there's only one murderer here."

"Nonsense." Hearing Lu Xiaoyao's words, Charlie laughed the next second, "Only one person died, how many murderers could there be?"

After speaking, at an angle Lu Xiaoyao couldn't see, Charlie's eyes suddenly darkened, filled with a light she couldn't understand, and his whole face was twisted for a moment...

"Why are you out so fast?"

Li Yuan, who had been pestered by Lu Xiaoyao for a long time after going to the bathroom, saw Mu Chen standing at the door of Lu Xiaoyao's room as soon as he came back.

Earlier, they said they would search Lu Xiaoyao's room first.

"There's nothing in her room, except for black and white photos of her dead husband, and work tools, nothing else is strange."

Mu Chen shook his head. Mu Chen originally thought that Lu Xiaoyao's room could be like reality—a complete mess.

But after entering the room, oh, it still followed the character's setting, ordinary and clean.

Mu Chen didn't even miss the corners, there was nothing.

"As for you, why did you go for so long?"

Mu Chen's suspicious gaze fell on Li Yuan, so Li Yuan told Mu Chen about his meeting with Lu Xiaoyao, and expressed his doubts: "Why is the information she got the opposite of mine?"

"Because the purchase channels are different."

Mu Chen turned to look at him, and asked with a raised corner of his mouth: "Do you believe the lunchbox you bought, or do you believe the lunchbox the other party bought?"

Li Yuan wasn't stupid, what didn't he understand after Mu Chen said this?

"You mean their lunchbox is fake?"

Mu Chen showed a knowing smile, but changed the subject and asked, "How do you think the lunchbox you bought is real? Is it really believing me, or did you find that the information Lu Xiaoyao said was fake—how did you find out?"

Li Yuan, who was getting goosebumps from what the other party said, took two steps back, his back against the cold, solid wall, his eyes staring straight at Mu Chen, and asked in a panic: "What do you mean by this?"

"I'm just asking, why are you nervous." Mu Chen looked at Li Yuan, who was frightened and pale, raised his hand and patted the other party's shoulder, and was glared at for a long time.

"Okay, there's another person's room that hasn't been looked at."

After Mu Chen finished speaking, he walked towards Charlie's room. Li Yuan leaned against the wall, motionless, staring at Mu Chen's back.

Fortunately, he was wearing a light-colored shirt today, otherwise the sweat stains on his back would be very obvious, and if Mu Chen saw it, he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly...

Mingmei sat in the hall, speechless with the fake fan NPC for a while. She was watching Lu Xiaoyao's live broadcast room, and she also found it a bit boring.

It wasn't that Lu Xiaoyao was boring.

Rather, the process of her and Charlie searching the room was very boring.

The entire room of Secretary Mu, played by Mu Chen, was very clean and tidy, and there were no useful discoveries at all.

Without clues, the two of them spoke less.

"Eh? What is this?"

The only thing in the room that caught their attention was the laptop that was not turned off and had no password. When Lu Xiaoyao and Charlie opened it, a folder caught their attention.

"Isn't this Shuchuan's personal schedule?"

Charlie looked at the records of where Shuchuan went every day, who he met, what he did, and some of Shuchuan's highlight moments were compiled into a book with photos taken with photography skills comparable to those of a photographer.

Lu Xiaoyao and Charlie were impressed by how detailed it was.

"No wonder a secretary was rewarded with a house by the big boss, this job is..."

Lu Xiaoyao could only sigh that people deserved it when she stared at the entire work record. If it were her, she would be short on the writing, let alone taking pictures.

This job is a bit too all-around.

Not to mention, it also detailed the food Shuchuan liked to eat and what he did to eat it.

For the sake of eating, Shuchuan once invested in building a restaurant and training chefs, which not only satisfied his own appetite, but also opened a hotel that was a well-known internet celebrity restaurant in the area, with a very good reputation.

While lamenting that the secretary's work was too detailed, Lu Xiaoyao came to admire this young and promising alchemist who died young.

Too amazing!

He can make money if he likes to eat, unlike her, she can spend a lot of money for a bite to eat _(:3」∠)_

"But, it's okay for him as a secretary to observe Shuchuan so carefully, but what about this one? Why does he have to track Li Que?"

"Huh?"

In the corner of the folder pointed to by Charlie, there was a document that was completely different from the previous ones. The person inside happened to be Li Que, whose 19-year-old graduation setting Lu Xiaoyao had envied before...
