Rescuing the Villainous Boss with a Little Dirty Master

Iser's pointed leather shoes made a "tap, tap, tap, tap" sound on the wooden floor, and the wall lamps lit up one by one.

At the end of the corridor, Iser stopped and turned around. Half of his figure was shrouded in darkness, the corners of his mouth widening into a smile. He placed one hand on his abdomen and extended the other to his side.

He was about to speak when Jiang Heng interrupted him.

"Don't call me lady."

Issey paused slightly, then granted his request, "Honored guest, please come in."

As Jiang Heng turned the corner in the corridor, she met the eyes of the people inside.

At the long table that could seat twelve people, three men and two women sat on either side, while the three men sat with their backs to him. Hearing footsteps behind him, two of them turned around, and when they saw Jiang Heng, their eyes flashed with amazement.

Jiang Heng's attention, however, was entirely focused on the man near the corner of the table who hadn't turned around.

His heart began to race, and he strode toward the long table. As he rounded the corner of the table, out of the corner of his eye, the man's alluring red mole caught his eye.

Jiang Heng smiled and continued forward, sitting down in the chair that had already been pulled out, diagonally opposite the man.

Wei Shenglan casually glanced at the woman who had lingered beside him for a few moments. When he saw the smiling look in her eyes, his gaze flickered slightly, but he quickly looked away.

Jiang Heng rested his chin on one hand, looking at the man diagonally opposite him who wore gold-rimmed glasses, had the top button of his black shirt undone, and exuded a cool and aloof aura. His cheeks flushed slightly, and his smile deepened.

"Tongtong, he's so charismatic."

886 was so excited that its fur stood on end. No matter how many times you watch it, the villain's face and his host are a perfect match, the ultimate match.

The others assumed the two knew each other and became somewhat wary. After all, in an escape game, having a partner is far more advantageous than going it alone.

Just then, the system's announcement sounded.

[Instance story loading complete:]

During this time, the Earl's sleep became increasingly longer. Every night, he could feel his life force being drained by those things. If it wasn't stopped soon, he would eventually wither away like Black Buck in the garden.

Perhaps he could try to replace him with some living beings, becoming nourishment for that thing.

Black Buck? Buck Castle?

Everyone immediately connected the two points; the plot specifically mentions Black Buck, so it must be related to the mission clues. However, it's already dark, making investigation inconvenient; they'll have to wait until tomorrow.

At this moment, the man in sportswear sitting opposite Jiang Heng spoke first, "Now that everyone is here, let's introduce ourselves. My name is Qi Nan."

The man next to Qi Nan, wearing a light blue denim jacket, calmly replied, "Pei Siqi."

Wei Shenglan tried to ignore the burning gaze falling on him and said coldly, "Shengwei."

The girl sitting opposite Wei Shenglan was about to speak when Jiang Heng interrupted her, "Jiang Lan."

The clear voice startled everyone present, even Wei Shenglan cast a questioning glance at her.

"A man?!"

Qi Nan spoke in surprise, then looked Jiang Lan up and down, paying particular attention to the area hidden by her hair.

Jiang Heng coughed softly and said with displeasure, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a cross-dressing master before?"

Wei Shenglan's lips curved upwards slightly, then quickly fell back down.

After everyone accepted that the last beautiful woman to arrive was a cross-dresser, the girl who had been interrupted earlier continued, "My name is Liu Ying."

The baby-faced girl sitting next to Jiang Heng had a rosy complexion and her eyes lit up slightly as she looked at Jiang Heng. "I, my name is Tao Tao."

Ahhh, cross-dressing guys are even more exciting!

Jiang Heng silently moved a little to the side; her gaze was rather frightening.

The hall fell silent again. Qi Nan glanced at the group and spoke again, "This is an escape game. It will be much easier if everyone cooperates."

Liu Ying added, "We hope everyone can share clues. The reward calculation upon completion is based on contribution points, and sharing clues will not affect the final reward."

Before Jiang Heng and the others could speak, Iser returned.

He stood in front of the main seat, glanced around at the six people present, and spoke with a smile, as if he was very satisfied with them.

"Distinguished guests, welcome once again. It is late, and the Earl has already gone to bed. He will meet with you all tomorrow morning. Now, please enjoy a delicious dinner."

Iser clapped his hands, and several servants filed in from the darkness on the other side, each carrying a covered plate.

Once the plates were placed down and the lids were lifted, the servants stepped back behind Iser and stood with their heads bowed. Iser bowed and said, "Please, gentlemen."

An enticing aroma filled the air, yet no one made a move.

The main mission of this game is to escape the castle; who knows if eating this food will cause any problems?

Iser's smile vanished, replaced by a sinister look. He glanced at the group.

"Why aren't the guests eating? Is there something they're not happy with about the food? I can have the kitchen bring them another serving."

"I'm not hungry."

"I'm not hungry."

Two voices rang out at the same time. Jiang Heng and Wei Shenglan exchanged a glance, then looked at the butler.

"That's an irrefutable reason," the butler said with a forced smile, looking at the two of them. He sighed and then turned to the others, "And you gentlemen?"

The remaining few exchanged glances and echoed the sentiment.

Isher nodded with some regret. "It's a pity that such delicious food goes untouched. But let me remind you all, you must not be so rude when dining with the Earl tomorrow morning."

He waved to the servants behind him, signaling them to clear the food from the table.

"It's late, let me take you all back to your rooms to rest."

Qi Nan was the first to stand up, followed closely by the others, with Wei Shenglan and Jiang Heng walking at the very back.

Before leaving her seat, Jiang Heng glanced at the antique clock hanging on the wall and then caught up with Wei Shenglan.

He awkwardly smoothed his long hair that was hanging down beside his face, turned his head and whispered to Wei Shenglan, "Brother, can we exchange contact information after the game is over?"

Wei Shenglan paused slightly, glanced at him sideways, but did not answer. When she looked away, her gaze seemed to casually sweep over the exposed, fair and shapely long legs.

He frowned, stepped over Jiang Heng, and walked ahead of him.

Jiang Heng raised an eyebrow as she watched his retreating figure. "Tongtong, the more he ignores me, the more I want to see him lose control."

886 chuckled in Jiang Heng's mind, "It's wrapped up."

As long as his soul remains unchanged, he is destined to be completely dominated by his own host; it's only a matter of time.

On the second-floor corridor, Iser stood at the top of the stairs.

"Any room on this floor without a sign is open for booking. The castle lights out at 11 p.m. Please do not make noise after lights out so as not to disturb other guests."

At that moment, a notification sound rang in everyone's minds simultaneously.
