Don't these guys know how to go easy on her?
Shen Hanzhi, however, did not answer him. He simply furrowed his brow, his gaze fixed on a corner of the surveillance screen...
"Please take a look and see if there is anything else that needs improvement," the manager asked again.
Still, he received no reply.
Noticing this, the manager felt somewhat puzzled, and turned to look in the direction of Shen Hanzhi's gaze.
He discovered that the surveillance footage Shen Hanzhi was examining was the main feed from the large garden outside the resort hotel.
"Is something wrong with the garden?" the manager asked cautiously.
"..." Shen Hanzhi merely knitted his brows tighter, showing no intention of paying him any mind.
Instead, Zhou Bei, who stood beside him, could not help but voice his indignation.
"Miss Lin is too pitiful!" Zhou Bei was also watching the monitor, having done so for quite some time. Ever since the game in the garden had just begun, he had noticed his boss watching that particular surveillance feed, prompting him to follow suit and watch along.
Yet, after watching the whole spectacle, he was left somewhat speechless.
The hiding spots chosen by that bunch of guys were simply too outrageous!
Some were hiding in the dark, gloomy trees, others had no fear of filth and crammed themselves straight into trash cans, while some were even lying directly beneath the benches.
What was even more exasperating was that someone's clothing happened to match the color of the garden foliage, and by curling up there motionless, they practically blended completely into the garden.
These hiding spots were extremely covert. Let alone Miss Lin, even he would find it difficult to spot those people within a short span of time without the help of surveillance.
***
Once Zhou Bei finished speaking, the manager became even more baffled, having no clue what they were talking about. He could only join them in watching the garden monitor.
Inside the garden, a young girl was wandering around, as if searching for something. Although the nighttime footage was not particularly clear, through the contents on the screen, he could still sense the anxiety of the girl within...
Seeing this, the manager's face filled with even greater perplexity. When he turned to look at Shen Hanzhi in confusion, he realized that the latter's expression was somewhat foul.
With a frown, Shen Hanzhi stared intently at the images on the monitor, a trace of displeasure evident across his handsome face.
With such a bizarre and varied array of hiding spots, it would not be easy to find them even in broad daylight, let alone at night. How could her simple and innocent little mind possibly think of such places?
Could those fellows not have shown her a shred of leniency?
Was beating her really that amusing?!
At this thought, Shen Hanzhi's expression darkened by another degree.
***
Inside the garden.
Thirteen minutes had already passed.
Lin Nanxun's self-confidence had been completely ground away.
She had not expected everyone to be so skilled at hiding.
After her final search yielded no results, she halted in her steps with a sense of disappointment, and then glanced at the time on her phone.
***
With only a little over a minute remaining, she was about to lose.
Although it was merely a game, losing like this still left her feeling a little upset.
She lowered her head and let out a soft sigh.
As expected, she was still quite foolish... She could not even play such a simple game properly.
Moreover, the person who lost would have to accept the penalty of going to the haunted house...
At this thought, an even heavier shade of disappointment crept onto her pretty little face.
Just as Lin Nanxun felt she had already lost and completely given up fighting spirit, footsteps suddenly echoed through the garden.
Hearing the sound, Lin Nanxun was startled and hurriedly looked around in all directions.
The sound seemed to be coming from the direction of the large tree...
A look of pleasant surprise crossed Lin Nanxun's face, and she trotted hurriedly toward the large tree!
