After Tongtong's cries stopped abruptly, Gu Wancheng and Chaochao exchanged a glance, remained silent for a moment, and then resolutely continued eating their spicy snacks.
"Is it tasty?"
"Tasty."
"That's all."
Chaochao:!
Looking at the empty bag, Chaochao felt like the sky had fallen. He had only eaten a little bit, and it was all gone.
He looked up at Gu Wancheng.
Gu Wancheng sighed regretfully and said, "That's all, we can't eat anymore."
Seeing that Chaochao was about to speak, he added, "You heard what your father said just now. If he finds out you're eating again, he'll punish you."
Hehehe, he'll sneak away and eat it while avoiding Chaochao.
Chaochao pursed her lips tightly, looking unhappy, but then swallowed back the words she was about to say, remembering the punishment he had mentioned.
Ugh, how annoying! Even a fool could guess that he'd punish me by making me copy homework. My hands are so small, how can I always be doing homework? Hiring child labor? That's going too far.
I carefully folded the bag, planning to sneak out and throw it away later.
" Chaochao."
"Huh?" Chaochao replied, looking confused.
"How about we sneak out later, hide somewhere else, and take out the trash?" Gu Wancheng whispered.
Chaochao thought for a while, then thought again, but couldn't come up with anything, so she could only nod in the end.
Gu Wancheng stood up. They couldn't possibly go out through the main door, so they went through another small door. As soon as they opened the door, they saw a butt sticking out at the corner.
It's Zuozuo.
When Zuozuo heard the sound, she turned around and saw them standing there casually. She was so frightened that she almost jumped up. She quickly waved her hand, telling them to hide.
But in that short time, someone rushed out from around the corner and grabbed him.
Zuozuo immediately bristled, glanced at the person who had lifted him up, and exclaimed in shock, "Brother Cheng Yan!"
Cheng Yan raised an eyebrow, shook the child in his arms, making him dizzy, and laughed arrogantly, a prominent canine tooth in his mouth and a diamond earring in his ear sparkling. "Still hiding? Gotcha, got you?"
After saying that, he glanced at the empty space ahead, squinted at the cub in his hand, and said, "Let's go catch your little friend."
Gu Wancheng and her companion had already escaped when Zuozuo was arrested, remaining completely silent throughout.
"That was close." Gu Wancheng and the other girl ran into a small room, panting heavily.
Before Chaochao could speak, a weak voice suddenly came from the room.
"Um... hello everyone."
The two of them immediately felt a chill run down their spines and stiffly turned their heads.
It's Xu Yuan.
Gu Wancheng breathed a sigh of relief, unaware of the seriousness of the situation.
"Brother Xu Yuan, are you hiding here too?" Chaochao asked curiously.
Xu Yuan hearing this, Xu Yuan stiffened, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
Gu Wancheng didn't notice his brief hesitation. She smiled at him and walked over with Chaochao.
[Big Silly Chun, what are you doing?! He's a ghost!!]
[What! Xu Yuan is a ghost!]
[He was arrested by President Bo a long time ago!]
[Then Chengcheng and Chaochao are finished.]
The audience watched as they walked toward the Xu Yuan.
They couldn't see Xu Yuan Yuan's guilty expression.
I wanted to crawl into his phone, grab his ear, and yell, "Open your eyes and look at him! You can tell he's up to no good. His guilty conscience is written all over his face! Open your eyes and look at him!"
The audience immediately felt disappointed in them, wishing they could switch places with them and escape.
Even though they were ghosts, Xu Yuan looked completely devastated, swallowing hard as he watched them approach him step by step.
With a sudden resolve, he grabbed them as they approached him, and amidst Gu Wancheng's puzzled gaze, hurriedly pulled out a stamp and quickly stamped it on their hands.
Gu Wancheng:?!
Chaochao: Huh?
Looking at the clear stamp on the back of her hand, Gu Wancheng was completely dumbfounded and didn't react for a long time.
Realizing what was happening, Gu Wancheng stared at Xu Yuan in shock, "You're actually a ghost!" Only then did she notice a faint mark on the back of Xu Yuan's hand.
Chaochao cried, "Dad, we've been caught!"
Gu Wancheng was on the verge of tears; not only had she been arrested, but she had also been delivered to her doorstep.
Xu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and stammered, "N-no, I'm sorry."
Gu Wancheng, still immersed in grief, looked up after hearing his words and said, "It's okay, it's okay. So we're ghosts now?"
"Yes, yes."
Gu Wancheng and Chaochao exchanged a glance, then happily ran out, leaving Xu Yuan bewildered in the room.
"Chao, let's go catch them!" Gu Wancheng said excitedly.
"Okay." Chaochao nodded vigorously.
Just as she turned the corner, she bumped into Cheng Yan again. Seeing Cheng Yan's increasingly arrogant expression, Gu Wancheng's lips curled up, and she 'inadvertently' revealed the seal on the back of her hand in front of him.
Cheng Yan was surprised for a moment when he saw them, then walked around them.
Gu Wancheng and Chaochao excitedly high-fived and went to continue catching people.
I wonder how many people are still missing. I hope they can be spared.
"Dad, where are we going?"
The two squatted at the top of the stairs, discussing their plan.
Gu Wancheng rubbed her chin a few times, frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Let's go to the third floor first."
Okay.
Having made their decision, the two headed straight for the third floor. At that moment Xiaolin and Anna, who were hiding in a closet in a room on the third floor, were unaware that they were about to be caught and were playing rock-paper-scissors inside the closet.
Gu Wancheng and her companion searched each room quietly, gradually approaching the room where they were.
In the courtyard, on a tree with exceptionally lush foliage, Bo Yizhou looked up at the two people perched on the tree.
Jian Yue and Chu Yi'an were stuck in the tree, unable to go up or down.
Seeing that Bo Yizhou had no intention of leaving, Chu Yi'an finally sighed and jumped down from the tree. Luckily, the tree wasn't very tall, otherwise, this show-off behavior would have landed him in the hospital sooner or later.
After jumping down, Chu Yi'an took the initiative to stamp the document, then looked up at the dumbfounded Jian Yue.
Jian Yue blinked and went downstairs. Just as Chu Yi'an was about to stamp the document, Jian Yue withdrew her hand.
"Don't cover it."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yi'an nodded. It didn't matter whether he covered it or not, since he was already a ghost anyway.
" President Bo, how many people are still missing?" Jian Yue asked.
"I'm not sure, but it should be about right, about ten minutes left," Bo Yizhou said, glancing at his watch.
Although he didn't know how many people they had caught, he was certain that they would win.
On the third floor, Gu Wancheng had already turned the first few rooms upside down, leaving only the last room.
The two tiptoed and quietly opened the door, thanking the landlord for installing the lock so that there was no sound.
Xiaolin and Anna inside were completely unaware until the light suddenly came on.
We've been discovered!
The two of them simultaneously covered their heads, glancing at each other cautiously out of the corner of their eyes.
Gu Wancheng and Chaochao stood with their arms crossed, smiling as they watched them.
