Chapter 150: I Am Waiting for You to Catch Me
Hearing Wang Cheng’s voice, Lin Nanxun, who had been feeling a little disappointed about losing, raised her head, shook it gently, and flashed a warm, soft smile at him.
“It’s alright. You guys should go hide quickly; I’m going to start catching people now.”
Seeing her say it was fine, Wang Cheng scratched his head with a touch of embarrassment and said, “Are you really okay with this? This place is huge and hard to search. Let me take your place instead. You can go hide with Ye Ning and the others.”
Out of shyness, Wang Cheng rarely dared to meet her eyes directly when speaking.
Listening to his words, Lin Nanxun shook her head again, and with a slightly serious tone, she said, “Don’t underestimate me. I can catch people.”
With that, Lin Nanxun turned to look at everyone and said with a bright smile, “You all need to hide well, now. Don’t let me catch you.”
Although she hadn’t played this kind of game in many years, she used to be exceptionally good at it when she was a child.
Not expecting her to say that, Wang Cheng lowered his head shyly. “Alright then, I’ll wait for you to come get me.”
“Nanxun, I believe in you. Go catch that damn fatty first later,” Ye Ning came over, patted her shoulder, and cheered her on.
“I’m not going to let you guys off easy. I’m definitely taking the prize this time,” Xiao Qi glared at Ye Ning with some dissatisfaction, then looked at Nanxun, asking with a hint of worry, “If you don’t find anyone within fifteen minutes, this round counts as your loss. Are you really okay with that?”
Lin Nanxun smiled, turned around as the rules required, and said with utmost seriousness, “Hurry up and hide, you guys. I’m going to count to thirty and then come looking.”
As soon as her voice fell, the sound of footsteps scattering in all directions came from behind her.
Lin Nanxun stood in place, earnestly counting the numbers one by one.
“One, two, three…”
“Thirty!” When she reached thirty, absolute silence had descended behind her.
There was not a single person in the garden, leaving only the quiet plants and the glowing street lamps.
Seeing this, Lin Nanxun paused for a moment, then hurriedly trotted over to begin searching for people everywhere.
She started with the places closest to her—behind the large trees and the flower beds—thoroughly and carefully checking every spot that looked like it could offer concealment.
Unfortunately, after searching around, she didn't see a single soul.
The garden was as quiet as if no one was there at all.
Everyone, who had been so lively just moments ago, seemed to have vanished. She had checked every place she could think of, yet she couldn't find a single person.
“Is anyone there?” Lin Nanxun asked with a puzzled expression, tentatively shouting out into the empty air.
Everyone had a strong desire to win and ignored her completely.
By this time, five minutes had already passed.
A full third of the time was gone.
Glancing at the time on her phone, Lin Nanxun’s heart suddenly fluttered with panic, her clean, pretty face filled with anxiety.
With no other choice, she kept her eyes on the phone for the time while jogging around the garden to search for any trace of the others.
Meanwhile...
Inside the surveillance room, in front of a massive wall of monitor screens.
The person in charge had brought Shen Hanzhi here to showcase the advanced and comprehensive surveillance facilities within the resort.
Almost every corner of the resort was within the coverage of the cameras, leaving very few blind spots.
“Mr. Shen, with this batch of surveillance cameras, the resort's security operations will be much easier,” the person in charge told Shen Hanzhi with a hint of pride.
