The next day, Mo Jingyu got up very early. Usually, except for the day when she was about to finish work, she rarely got up this early on her own initiative.

On the way to the escape room, Mo Jingyu asked the director, "Is the escape room theme scary?"

The director shook his head. He had originally planned to choose a horror theme, since such themes attract a lot of viewers. However, there were a group of children on the bus, so he ultimately chose a non-horror, story-driven escape room.

Mo Jingyu was somewhat disappointed; in her opinion, horror was what made it interesting.

Jiang Yan'an noticed Mo Jingyu's disappointment and whispered to her, "Mom, I'll take you to a scary place next time." Mo Jingyu responded softly, "Really? Aren't you scared?"

Jiang Yan'an shook his head and said, "My father told me a long time ago that those were all fake."

Mo Jingyu was puzzled. Why was this domineering CEO talking to a child about these things so early on? "Why is your father telling you this?"

“I was scared when I saw my mom watching horror movies, so I went to my dad and that’s when he told me.”

Mo Jingyu then realized, "So I have a role to play here too."

The bus took everyone to a secret room, where the director blindfolded everyone and led them inside.

Although Jiang Yan'an had previously maintained a defiant stance and claimed no fear, he now gripped Mo Jingyu's hand tightly. Sensing the child's nervousness, Mo Jingyu took Jiang Yan'an's hand with her other hand and gently patted it to reassure him.

As soon as the director stepped out of the room, he couldn't hide his smile, his expression seeming to say, "Hahaha, have fun, it's not scary at all," accompanied by a (death smile.jpg).

[Frog Fun, why is the director laughing so dangerously?]

[Oh no, Sister Yu and the others have been tricked! The director definitely chose a horror script!]

Holy crap, seriously?! The director's gone this far? What if he scares the kids?!

Fans in the live chat expressed concern for the children's mental well-being, and the director took this into consideration, so he arranged a special escape room for the children to solve puzzles.

He picked up the walkie-talkie and instructed the staff to take the child away.

Mo Jingyu noticed someone trying to pull Jiang Yan'an away and, without thinking, immediately took action to stop them. She also reached for the microphone at her waist and launched into a tirade against the "child trafficker," shouting, "Which bastard is trying to steal my child! Let go! Where's the director?! What's going on?"

Zhao Momo and the others held on tightly to their children. The director, not expecting Mo Jingyu to be so fierce, quickly shouted into the microphone, "Stop hitting them! They're just staff. The kids need to solve the mystery first. You all wait here."

Upon hearing the director's voice, Mo Jingyu was furious. He should have said so earlier; it made her think someone was trying to steal her child.

Finally, the children were taken into a room where staff removed their blindfolds.

Su Nuohan didn't see her mother nearby, her eyes reddened, and she was about to cry. Jiang Yan'an was also flustered, but when he remembered that the director uncle said it was just a preview, he forced himself to calm down.

Li Ziang asked, "What do we do now, An'an?"

Jiang Yan'an was taken aback: Aren't I the younger brother?

"I don't know." Jiang Yan'an took Su Nuohan's hand and comforted her, "Sister Nuohan, the director said it's just a mystery, don't be afraid, just follow me, Brother Zi'ang, and Brother Fanfan."

Su Nuohan wiped away the tears that were about to fall and said, "It's okay, I can't hold you back! We'll do it together!"

The children calmed themselves down and began to seriously consider how to solve the mystery.

Jiang Yan'an asked, "So what's our first step?"

Xie Yifan looked around seriously. "Let's search around and see if there are any clues." The children nodded and began to search.

The director, looking at the children who had already entered the decryption phase, was full of surprise: This isn't right! Why aren't these kids crying at all? Are they children from wealthy families?

Wow, these kids are so brave! They've started playing so quickly?

"No, aren't they scared? I'd be scared if I were separated from my friends."

They must have been scared, but they wanted to save their mother.

[Wow, that hits the point!]

[Don't even mention it, I'm not as calm as a kid when playing horror games TAT]

The camera then shifts to the mothers, who appear somewhat flustered.

After the staff took the children away, they also removed their blindfolds. What they saw was "bloodstains" all over the room. Zhao Momo was so frightened that she jumped into Lin Yunyuan's arms, screaming all around her.

Mo Jingyu looked around, her gaze meeting the camera in the corner. Without thinking, she made an international hand gesture at the camera and cursed, "Director, I hope you never have a seasoning packet when you eat instant noodles!"

The director scoffed, thinking, "How could this be?" But when he looked down, he saw the instant noodles he had just opened... Holy crap, where's the seasoning packet?! He immediately wanted to report the manufacturer.

Zhao Momo gradually calmed down, but her hands were still tightly holding Lin Yunyuan. Her voice trembled as she asked, "Jingyu, what should we do next?" Mo Jingyu shook her head and said, "Let's look for clues first. Since it's a locked room, we definitely need to solve the mystery."

Lin Yunyuan held Zhao Momo's hand reassuringly and asked, "Didn't the director say it wasn't scary? The children won't be like that either, will they?"

Mo Jingyu responded, "The director shouldn't be that heartless. If he scares the child badly, I'll deal with him!" As she spoke, she patted the stunned Mo Weiwei, "Hey, wake up, let's look for clues."

Mo Weiwei screamed in fright, turned around and saw it was Mo Jingyu, and said angrily, "Sister, don't scare me!"

Mo Jingyu quickly said, "...I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be so scared. I apologize, let's look for clues first."

[Does Mo Jingyu have any manners? Doesn't she know how scary it can be?!]

[No, I was thinking, didn't Sister Yu apologize?]

What's the point of an apology?!

So what? Scare them back!

Mo Jingyu and the other three searched the four corners of the room, eventually finding only two useful notes. The four huddled by the bed to discuss what to do next.

Mo Jingyu looked at the note and said, "We know that the lady of this room is dead, but we don't know how she died or who killed her."

Lin Yunyuan nodded. "Yes, the numbers on this note might be a clue to unlocking the door. We need to go out and find the children first."

Mo Weiwei picked up the slip of paper with numbers on it and examined it carefully. Seeing this, Mo Jingyu had an idea.

Mo Jingyu thought to herself: Isn't the woman of destiny right here?! Her luck must be off the charts!

Mo Jingyu asked Mo Weiwei, "Do you have any numbers in mind?" Mo Weiwei was puzzled, but after thinking for a while, she wrote down a number. Mo Jingyu took the slip of paper and excitedly went to try it on the combination lock.

Beep beep beep—the result is wrong. It seems that even this lucky woman doesn't have the koi fish constitution.

The three people looked at Mo Jingyu strangely. In this eerie environment, Mo Jingyu felt a chill run down her spine. She asked, "What's wrong?"

Mo Weiwei spoke up, "Sister, why do you ask me about the number I'm thinking of?" She looked at Mo Jingyu warily, afraid that the other party would set a trap for her. Although they had agreed to keep to themselves, who knew if Mo Jingyu would take the opportunity to retaliate.

Mo Jingyu: You still know the saying "well water doesn't interfere with river water"?

Unable to reveal her true thoughts, she could only offer a perfunctory reply, "I think you're lucky, and I'd like to try my luck." With that, she explained the contents of the note she had just studied to the three of them, abruptly changing the subject.

The adults were stumped by the door lock code, but the kids were making good progress.

Jiang Yan'an and his friends found the key clue to the door lock code, which was a sixth-grade elementary school math olympiad problem. This stumped Jiang Yan'an and the others. Although Jiang Yan'an was still in kindergarten and had learned some advanced knowledge, he had not yet reached this level of difficulty.

Xie Yifan said softly, "Can I try? I just learned it last week, but I'm not very good at it yet, so don't have too high expectations."

Li Ziang exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! Fanfan, you've already learned such difficult problems? I haven't even started yet, you're so amazing!"

Su Nuohan also praised, "Yes, that's amazing."

Jiang Yan'an handed the question to Xie Yifan and encouraged him, "It's okay, you're very capable, I believe in you!"

“Yes, we believe you too!” the other two echoed.

Encouraged, Xie Yifan became even more focused on solving the problem. While he was working on it, his friends were also busy searching around. The three of them worked together to climb to several high places and actually found some things.

When Li Ziang climbed up, the viewers in the live broadcast room were terrified and demanded that the director send someone to watch over him, because if he fell, the director would be in big trouble.

The director panicked, fearing something might go wrong, and quickly called two staff members over.

The director, unable to bear watching the potentially terrifying scenes that might occur on the children's side, turned his attention to the adults' monitoring screen.

As a result, the staff sent out frantically shouted into the walkie-talkie, "The children are missing!"

The director exclaimed in shock, "What! It's gone?!"
