Chapter 222: An Unconventional Way to Unlocking the Padlock
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“You’ve known your Zhou-ge for so long. Don’t you know his intelligence? If he was together with Jing Shan, then Jing Shan wouldn’t have been running around like a headless fly,” Bai Lin knocked on Li Xuan’s head and scolded him with a smile.
Li Xuan did not get angry when he was being called stupid in front of his little girlfriend. Instead, he boldly made a silly face beside Bai Lin.
“Well, you siblings are both smart people, but we are fools, huh? I won’t work for you next time!”
When Yan Ruo saw Bai Lin and Li Xuan’s intimate actions and their words indicating that they had known each other for a long time, he was rather displeased. He stared at Li Xuan’s back for a while before walking over to Bai Lin’s side and watching her unlock the door.
Li Xuan was still laughing when he suddenly felt a chill on his back. However, he did not pay much attention to it, thinking that it was because there was no air conditioning in the room.
[I suddenly feel that Li Xuan is slow-witted and obedient. I like him a little now.]
[Lin-jie’s really good at protecting her brother. When Zhou-ge hears Lin-jie praising him, he’d be so touched.]
[Are you crazy? Li Xuan is a real scumbag. How can someone who likes Li Xuan have the face to scold Youyou who didn’t do anything wrong?]
[It’s better to be a fool in the open than to stab someone in the back, right? You can’t be Zheng You’s dog, but you didn’t forget to protect your master. You should compete with Jing Shan for the position.]
[Best Actor Yan secretly gave Li Xuan a death stare. Is he jealous? Hahaha!] [Oh my god, can Lin-jie’s operation really be broadcasted?]
[You didn’t finish watching Traveler, did you? Hurry up and go watch the edit of Bai Lin’s top ten face-slapping scenes! Back then, she’d relied on her lock-picking skills to make her brother do the hard work!]
It turned out that Bai Lin had taken out a bent and slightly rusty wire from her bag.
Yan Ruo had broken it off from an old water pipe when he was searching the washroom. The water and electricity supply had long been cut off here, so the water pipe would not leak again even without the iron wire binding it.
The two ends of the wire that were overly twisted had been broken by Bai Lin. She twisted the wire a few times and inserted it into the lock. She listened carefully for any movement in the lock.
“Alright, it’s unlocked.”
It only took a few dozen seconds from the moment she took out the wire to unlocking the padlock.
“Best Actors little prop’s played a big role,” Bai Lin said as she gave Yan Ruo a thumbs up.
Yan Ruo was not surprised at all. He had seen Bai Lin done it in Traveler long ago. That was why when he saw the wire, he specially broke a section of it as a spare for her.
Li Xuan was not surprised either. In his eyes, Xiao Lin could easily grasp all kinds of mechanism skills, and a mere lock-picking skill was just a small trick.
On the director’s side, Sun Han held his forehead helplessly.
The original design was that the key was in the principal’s office on the top floor, and the guests had to unlock it floor by floor starting from the top and meet on the third floor.
Now, the order had been reversed by Bai Lin, which was really surprising.
On the other hand, Zheng You’s actions were all within the expectations of the production team.
Zheng You was flustered. She actually knew the password to the lock in the principal’s office, but she could not unlock it directly as that would expose the fact that she had obtained the script in advance.
“Zhou Guang, look at the combination lock in the principal’s office. Did you
notice any clues about the combination?”
Zhou Guang did not know what Zheng You was thinking. He squatted down and carefully observed the password lock.
“It’s a four-digit password lock. There are no obvious signs of wear and tear on the number keys, so it’s hard to determine which numbers it is. Let’s go to the meeting room next door to see if there are any specific clues.”
Zheng You heaved a sigh of relief. Zhou Guang seemed to be a smart one. As long as she entered the password when Zhou Guang was almost done with his deductions, she would be able to take the credit effortlessly.
The meeting room was very spacious, but the office equipment was neatly arranged.
“I’ll look for clues in this document. You can take a look at the desk area.”
Zheng You directed Zhou Guang in a serious manner. Seeing Zhou Guang start to rummage through the desk, she also pulled out the folder and began to do the same.
She did not expect Zhou Guang to make progress before she even finished two pages.
“There’s a roll of tape here. I’ll try to use it and see if it’ll get the fingerprints on the keys.”
As he spoke, he quickly tried to extract the fingerprints. He did not know which floor Xiao Lin was on.. What if Yan Ruo seduced Xiao Lin while he was not around?
