Chapter 259: Chapter 260: Turning the Tables on the Enemy

Seeing Senior Sister already wearing a mask in front of her, Yuan Xue’s face turned even paler, finding herself in a bind.

"Yuan Xue, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? Even if you need to use the bathroom, you should use the one downstairs," the director spoke up this time.

"I..." Yuan Xue hesitated for a moment before thinking of an excuse, "I needed to use the bathroom urgently, but someone was already downstairs, so I asked Yu Qin to accompany me up here. After using the bathroom, I heard some noise here. Out of curiosity, I came to take a look..."

"Oh?" Shi Mei tugged at her lips, "And what noise would that be?"

Yuan Xue replied angrily, "How would I know what noise it was? If I knew, I wouldn’t have come!"

"What were you yelling about just now?" someone asked.

"I heard it too, you were yelling about a ghost. What ghost!"

Yuan Xue recalled the horrific and fierce face she had just seen, her complexion extremely troubled, she said without hesitation, "Just now, I saw a very terrifying face, just like a ghost’s, it was her!"

Pointing at Shi Mei, Yuan Xue said, "The face under her mask scared Yu Qin into fainting!"

Someone was already tending to Yu Qin, who quickly regained consciousness.

As soon as she came to, she heard Yuan Xue’s words and turned ghostly pale, looking at Shi Mei.

Shi Mei, wearing her mask now, listened to this conversation and slightly curved her lips, saying, "I didn’t invite any of you here, did I? It’s not my fault someone got scared into fainting. Why do you blame me when you intrude at such a late hour just to look at my disfigured face, especially sneaking in while I’m asleep? Whose fault is that?"

Both Yuan Xue and Yu Qin looked particularly uneasy.

"How ugly must she be to actually scare someone into fainting?"

"I thought Senior Sister just wanted to maintain a sense of mystery, not wanting others to see her face, but now it seems... rather terrifying."

...

Mu Nanke felt somewhat indignant as he heard the crowd discussing Shi Mei’s appearance.

If it wasn’t for his incidental overhearing of their conversation that afternoon, which alerted Senior Sister, perhaps tonight’s events would have unfolded differently.

Unable to contain himself, Mu Nanke spoke up, "Does hearing a noise give you the right to intrude on others’ rooms?"

Yuan Xue immediately retorted, "What’s it got to do with you?"

"It has nothing to do with her," Shi Mei spoke coldly, positioning Mu Nanke behind her, "But this is my room. I want privacy more than anyone else, and moreover... what is that?"

Shi Mei pointed towards the sedative smoke bomb not far from the threshold.

Someone in the crowd spoke up, "That looks like the sedative smoke from TV shows..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Qin turned even paler and quickly hid the smoke bomb, saying, "Nonsense, how could it possibly be a sedative!"

The director furrowed his brows, and a staff member beat him to the punch, "Bring it out for a look!"

Yu Qin looked distressed, clinging to the smoke bomb, refusing to bring it out.

Yuan Xue stepped forward as well, saying, "It’s just an accident, all my fault for being too curious. It definitely won’t happen again, I’m really sorry!"

"So it was an accident..." Shi Mei stared at her, a faint sneer on her lips, then suddenly her gaze fell to what Yuan Xue was tightly clenching in her hand, "And what do you have there?"

Yuan Xue’s breathing became rapid, a female staff member already moving to pry her hand open.

The luxurious diamond necklace under the cellphone flashlight, opulent and decadent, impossible to hide!

Upon seeing the item, Shi Mei laughed softly, "Isn’t that Tang Gu’s necklace? I’ve heard it’s worth several hundred thousand. You’ve really got some nerve!"

Yuan Xue’s legs gave out, and she hastily said, "No, it wasn’t me, Tang Gu gave it to me himself!"
