Chapter 224
Liu Woxing’s careful analysis didn’t attract much attention.
Most people stuck to their own opinions, though Xu Shuangrong looked over curiously, her investigative gaze also landing on Shen Moqing.
Shen Moqing stood there lazily, his expression relaxed. Even facing such direct questioning, he smiled nonchalantly.
“A reasonable guess.”
Liu Woxing paused. “Mr. Shen, aren’t you going to refute that?”
Shen Moqing’s expression remained unchanged.
“Either way works.”
“…“
Liu Woxing stared at him thoughtfully for a moment before giving a polite smile. “I guess I’ll have to judge for myself.”
Xu Shuangrong furrowed her brow slightly, carefully observing Shen Moqing’s every word and action, but she couldn’t figure out his true intentions.
Throughout the entire process, Xie Mi sat like an audience, casually snacking on sunflower seeds, her eyes roaming evenly across everyone, completely detached.
On the surface, it seemed like ordinary interaction, but undercurrents of tension hid a nerve-wracking psychological battle.
[I can’t even breathe watching this, Old Shen is amazing — staying this calm under pressure!]
[No wonder he’s got the strongest heart — if it were me, I’d have been exposed long ago.]
[And Sister Liu’s questioning had real pressure too, even though her tone was gentle and soft.]
[I have to say, this is a duel of experts.]
[This is the essence of the undercover game — a tense psychological battle!]
[Gotta admit, Old Xie and Old Shen have played well all day. Their tasks were clever, basically flawless.]
[And they managed to completely throw the situation into chaos, hahahaha.]
[Now the only variable is Sister Liu. I don’t expect much from anyone else; let’s see if Sister Liu guesses correctly.]
Ten minutes passed, and Director Niu stopped their discussion on time. He also had the staff separate Qiu Chengye and Lai Bingxuan, who had gotten into a physical scuffle during the heated argument.
“Now, everyone can come forward one by one to report. Of course, if you want to report publicly, just loudly say the names of the people you suspect.”
The guests remained indifferent. Of course, no one would be foolish enough to report publicly — no one wanted to split the bonus.
“I’ll go first.”
Qiu Chengye stepped forward, giving Lai Bingxuan a disdainful smirk, and whispered into Director Niu’s ear, “I report Liu Woxing and Shen Moqing.”
Director Niu nodded. “Okay, the answer will not be revealed yet. Return to your team.”
“Not revealed?” Qiu Chengye frowned, dissatisfied — this didn’t give him the immediate satisfaction of proving Lai Bingxuan wrong.
But no rush; sooner or later, he’d get the chance.
He swaggered back to the team, shooting Lai Bingxuan another glance.
Lai Bingxuan rolled her eyes and went to Director Niu, quietly saying, “I report Xiao Jingxi and Xu Shuangrong.”
Director Niu: “Okay, next.”
Xu Shuangrong was still observing Shen Moqing, clearly taking Liu Woxing’s earlier deduction into account.
Xiao Jingxi, beside her, apparently hadn’t noticed her hesitation. “Go ahead, follow my analysis.”
Xu Shuangrong withdrew her gaze and smiled at Xiao Jingxi.
“Okay.”
Fine.
Although she had doubts about the undercover pair, reporting them wasn’t her main goal.
She wanted to use this chance to regain Xiao Jingxi’s favor — that was her priority.
So right or wrong, she would follow Xiao Jingxi’s lead.
“I report Xie Mi and Yu Jinzhe,” she whispered to Director Niu, then returned to the team, giving Xiao Jingxi an OK gesture.
Xiao Jingxi nodded and again looked at Xie Mi with a confident smile.
It was Yu Jinzhe’s turn.
He didn’t care about the undercover game. All day, he had been thinking about how to catch Xie Mi’s attention, paying little attention to the others.
So his report was casual — just two names, then he returned to the team slowly.
Liu Woxing was still hesitating.
She instinctively glanced at Shen Moqing, only to see Xie Mi patting his shoulder.
Her expression shifted slightly, and she already had her answer.
“I report…”
After whispering the names to Director Niu, she turned and returned to the team.
Next, Shen Moqing and Xie Mi reported in turn.
The two undercover players’ reports were clearly not serious, as they were just going through the motions.
Shen Moqing said: “I report Director Niu and the assistant director.”
Director Niu paused with pen in hand, a question mark appearing in his gaze at Shen Moqing.
Xie Mi quietly sang a lullaby into Director Niu’s ear.
Director Niu opened his mouth in silent outrage, cursing Xie Mi with his eyes for eight hundred rounds.
Crazy!!
[Hahahahaha, help!!]
[I could tolerate Old Shen, but Old Xie’s lullaby just made me laugh awkwardly.]
[Huh? A lullaby? I didn’t realize, thought Old Xie wrote a song on the spot.]
[Old Xie, everyone’s laughing at you, yet you’re the funniest [heart gesture].]
“All reports are in. Now I’ll announce the results.” Director Niu, holding his notebook, stood before them.
Most of the guests were confident, sure of their answers.
Especially Qiu Chengye and Lai Bingxuan, exchanging cold smirks, ready to mock each other once the result came out.
Xiao Jingxi also gave Xu Shuangrong a reassuring glance. “Don’t worry too much. If nothing unexpected happens, the answer should be correct — I trust my observation…”
“No one reported successfully. The secret couple wins!!” Director Niu announced, and all voices in the room fell silent.
Qiu Chengye and Lai Bingxuan stared at Director Niu in disbelief.
Xiao Jingxi stopped mid-sentence, opening his mouth but saying nothing.
Yu Jinzhe, unconcerned, glanced at Xie Mi, who had been misled by him, and said mock-regretfully, “What a pity, sister, you reported wrong too.”
Liu Woxing froze for a moment, suddenly realizing what happened.
After a brief silence, the room erupted again.
“What?!” “Impossible!” “How could we fail?!”
Director Niu smiled, satisfied seeing them all flustered, silently praising his choice of undercover, and continued to tease them.
“Before I reveal who the undercover is, does anyone want to guess?”
Qiu Chengye hesitated, then shouted, “Xie Mi and Yu Jinzhe! It’s Xie Mi and Yu Jinzhe!!”
Lai Bingxuan shouted along, “Then it’s… Xie Mi and Xiao Jingxi! I saw Xiao Jingxi chasing Xie Mi on an electric bike for three laps. No normal person would chase an electric bike, so this must be their task! Riding an electric bike walking a dog three laps!!”
Xiao Jingxi, about to speak, looked over immediately. “?”
[Xiao Jingxi: You what.]
[Riding a dog, hahaha]
