"Captain, why aren't you smiling? Are you just naturally averse to smiling?" Ling Yue asked, posing a probing question.

Chen Muye, who was sitting to the side, turned green with rage. He desperately hoped that the phone call he had just received was just his hallucination, but it turned out that it was impossible.

Suddenly, Chen Muyi seemed to remember something and, ignoring Ling Yue's mockery, exclaimed, "Right, I need to hurry up and get my high-speed rail ticket refunded, or I won't be able to get it back if I'm too late!" With that, he dashed out.

Seeing this, Ling Yue did not stop them. He looked at Lin Qiye, Zhao Kongcheng and the others who also wanted to sneak out.

"I understand that the captain has something to do, but what could possibly happen to you?" After saying that, he slammed the iron gate shut, leaving them no chance of escape.

"Ahem, I suddenly remembered that I haven't fed my Kunkun yet, I'm going now!" Wu Xiangnan was the second to escape.

However, before he could take a few steps out, he saw Chen Muye eavesdropping around the corner.

Wu Xiangnan made a move to shout out, "亻!" However, before he could finish half a word, Chen Muyi rushed up and covered his mouth.

"Shh! Aren't you curious about what they'll do?!" Chen Muyi almost got exposed by Wu Xiangnan, his terrible teammate, but luckily he reacted quickly.

Wu Xiangnan, whose mouth was covered, blinked, indicating that she was also curious.

Seeing this, Chen Muye released his hand from covering his mouth and then gestured for him to continue eavesdropping at the door.

"Huh? Is there some noise outside?" Inside the office, Ling Yue, who was interrogating everyone while sitting in his office chair, thought he had misheard, so he didn't pay any attention.

"Speak, Qi Ye, what do you want now?"

Lin Qiye looked a little flustered. He didn't have Wu Xiangnan's ability to lie through his teeth, and he didn't want to wear a JK uniform either! However, with his strong will to survive, Lin Qiye still managed to come up with an excuse that wasn't too outrageous.

"I... my little black toad is going to get spayed, I need to go be with it!!" Lin Qiye felt incredibly guilty towards the little black toad and decided to make it up to it when he got home.

Howling Celestial Dog: Although I am not human, you are a real dog!

The others didn't react much to Lin Qiye's excuse, but Ling Yue was taken aback.

He mentally gave Lin Qiye a thumbs up, thinking, "Wow, that's amazing!"

Seeing that Lin Qiye was in such a predicament but had come up with a reason, Ling Yue didn't press him further. "Alright, you can go now. Next."

Lin Qiye was overjoyed upon hearing this, not expecting to be able to leave so easily! However, after Lin Qiye stepped out the door, "Huh!" Wu Xiangnan stepped forward and covered Lin Qiye's mouth.

...The same scenario played out outside the door, only this time the number of people eavesdropping outside increased from two to three.

The fourth one is Zhao Kongcheng. He looked perfectly normal, as if he wasn't afraid of wearing JK uniforms at all. Of course, it's also possible that he just likes them.

"Ahem, I need to go home because my son is starting A-level primary school." Zhao Kongcheng said seriously, as if this was an extremely important matter.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yue gave Lao Zhao a thumbs up, "Good! Qualified!" Lao Zhao's reasoning was absolutely brilliant; even Ling Yue, who was always quick to find fault, couldn't find anything wrong with it.

Old Zhao then walked out the door with a smug look on his face, but his smile quickly faded...

The fifth one was Si Xiaonan. Her face was slightly flushed, and she blinked her big, bright eyes, speaking softly and coquettishly to Ling Yue, "Brother Yue~ I'm sick~ I need to go to the hospital~"

Ling Yue sensed something was wrong when he saw Si Xiaonan's expression this time, and sure enough, he was right. "Ugh~ reduplicated words, disgusting. You don't qualify, next one."

After saying that, Ling Yue added Si Xiaonan's name to the list of people who wear JK uniforms.

Seeing this, Si Xiaonan stopped pretending and said, "Sister Hongying, you must take my share with you when you leave!"

Hongying's expression hardened upon hearing this, and she turned around and pushed Wen Qimo, who was hiding behind her, forward, saying, "Men first, you go up first."

Wen Qimo, who was thinking of an excuse, never expected that Hongying would push him out.

"Speak, Qi Mo, what excuse do you have for leaving?" Ling Yue asked first without holding back.

Standing before Ling Yue, Wen Qimo's heart pounded wildly. This was the first time he had ever felt so nervous, a feeling he had never experienced even when fighting mythical creatures before. Suddenly, a thought struck him: "My pig is about to give birth! I need to help her deliver!"

Ling Yue's lips twitched; he felt Wen Qimo's excuse couldn't be more flimsy, but he still waved his hand. "Okay, let's go!"

Wen Qimo felt like he had been granted a pardon and quickly walked out of the room, not daring to stay inside for even a second longer, for fear that Ling Yue would think his excuse was not good and drag him over to put on a JK uniform.

The same scene played out on Wen Qimo again, but this time it was Zhao Kongcheng who licked his lips.

Now, only the unqualified Si Xiaonan, the 'examiner' Ling Yue, and the 'examinee' Hong Ying remain in the office. As for Leng Xuan, he didn't participate in the bet and has disappeared.

"Sakura, you're the last one left. Tell me, what's your excuse?" Ling Yue propped his head up with one hand, deciding to be a little 'slightly' stricter with the last one.

At this moment, Hongying was extremely confident, feeling that she had it all figured out. "I'm going to help the seventy-year-old woman find her cheating husband!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yue's lips twitched involuntarily. Although Hong Ying's reasoning was valid, he still had to consider the consequences, so he decided—

"No, I won't pass!"

"Huh?! Why? You should know about this, right?!" Hongying's expression suddenly turned strange, feeling that Ling Yue was deliberately preventing her and Xiao Nan from leaving.

"Did you make us wear JK uniforms on purpose?"

Seeing that Hongying was about to expose his true intentions, Ling Yue immediately retorted, "How could that be? Your reasons are clearly too flimsy, and you clearly agreed to the bet about wearing JK uniforms. I didn't force you to wear them!"

"But—" Seeing that Hongying was about to say something, Ling Yue immediately spouted his twisted logic.

"You should all thank me for telling you this. I gave you the chance not to wear it, but you and Xiao Nan didn't seize it. Besides, if I lose this bet, do you think you'll let me off the hook?"

Hongying and Si Xiaonan behind her also felt that Ling Yue's words made some sense. "Hmm? That seems to be true..."

Those involved are often blinded, while bystanders see clearly. But Wu Xiangnan and Wen Qimo, standing outside the office, knew Ling Yue's logic was flawed; he just wanted to see Hong Ying and Si Xiaonan in JK uniforms, and he wouldn't let them see!

Thinking of this, they decided to break down the door and thwart Ling Yue's plan.

However, Captain Chen Muye pulled him away, saying, "Calm down, calm down. Think about it, although Ling Yue has this tendency, we have genuinely lost the bet. What if we go in and ruin Ling Yue's plan, and then he makes us wear it?"

"That makes sense..." The group's rationality returned instantly, and they imagined the consequences they would face for ruining Ling Yue's plan, which sent chills down their spines.

But they were unwilling to let Ling Yue eat alone. "Then we'll just stand outside and let Ling Yue watch JK all by himself?" a voice came from the crowd. They seemed to smell sourness.

Chen Muye remained unfazed, as if even the collapse of Mount Tai hadn't affected him. "Qi Mo, don't be in such a hurry. Have you forgotten Leng Xuan?"

"That's right! We can get Leng Xuan to take pictures for us!" Everyone suddenly realized and started calling Leng Xuan, while Lin Qiye walked out looking ashamed to be associated with them.

Lin Qiye went outside and clasped his hands together, praying in his heart that the unsuspecting little black toad would forgive him.

Meanwhile, in a mysterious corner, the voyeur Leng Xuan had already taken several photos with his camera.

One photo shows Lin Qiye, Zhao Kongcheng, Chen Muye, Wu Xiangnan, and Wen Qimo, five people pressed tightly against the iron gate, eavesdropping.
