Hearing this, Scotland maintained a gentle smile on his face, but his heart was already in turmoil. One guess after another emerged in his mind. When he thought about what Lei said, the uneasiness in his heart was like a wild horse running wildly.

"Can you tell me your plan?"

Mingyue held her chin with her hand and seemed to be thinking about this problem seriously. Scotland did not urge her, but just waited calmly.

"Let me tell you, will you help me or will you sabotage me?" Mingyue's eyes curved and she smiled like a cunning little fox.

Scotland said sincerely, "If you want to delete a certain chair, maybe I can help you."

"Indeed, there is a chair that I care about very much and want to delete it." Mingyue began to seriously consider the possibility of cooperation with Scotland.

"Which chair?" Scotland's heart skipped a beat when he thought of the chair number he had just reported. He quickly recalled what happened on the cruise ship and couldn't tell whether he had been exposed. Perhaps some of his actions had aroused Lei's suspicion. It seemed that he had to be more cautious.

Seeing Scotland looking a little nervous, Mingyue rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "What if the chair I want to delete happens to be yours?"

Scotland blinked, tilted his head slightly, and said with a puzzled look, "If you really wanted to remove my chair, you wouldn't say he was trying to sow discord."

"I can't fool you!" Mingyue smiled even more brightly.

"You don't like lying, so you were just teasing me?" Scotland crossed his arms and pretended to be angry.

"My dear brother~" Mingyue tugged at Scotland's sleeve, "I won't tease you anymore. I do have a chair I want to delete."

Scotland's expression froze. He stared at Mingyue intently, waiting for her next words. However, the new lyrics entered his ears first, "Oh who— killed Cock Robin? Please e keep up the pace…"

"Number 16." Mingyue and Scotland looked at each other. "If I let you be the boss, can you help me remove this chair?"

A clear and pleasant child's voice accompanied by the melodious piano sound surrounded the two of them, "Oh who— killed Cock Robin? Here is the climax..."

Scotland knew very well that chair number 16 did not belong to any of them. Could it be that Mingyue had sat on it before? But if that was the case, Lei would not ask him and Zero.

"Can you tell me why you want to delete this chair?"

"Because someone lied." Mingyue recounted her previous experience with the bearded Lily and the tabby cat Fukunaga Yuji, watching Scotland's expression change from shock to astonishment, and then to solemnity.

"Oh who— killed Cock Robin? Where you should be right sad…" The melodious nursery rhyme became blurred again, and I could no longer hear a single word of the lyrics.

Scotland frowned slightly. "If what they said is true, chair number 16 has already been destroyed. Would you mind taking the trouble to delete a chair that's already been destroyed?"

"Do you really think that chair is destroyed?" Mingyue blinked. She didn't expect Scotland to think so. Suddenly, she thought that maybe Scotland was testing her, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously...
