Chapter 617 We are playing games
Qin Xuelian also hurriedly wrapped herself in a bathrobe. Her face was pale and her hands were trembling slightly.

"Calm down, Yexing," she tried to soothe him, but her voice was trembling. "We must have drunk too much and are hallucinating."

However, Gu Yexing had completely lost his mind.

He turned suddenly and rushed to the door of the room.

“No, this is not an illusion!” he yelled. “I need to get out of here! This is too weird!”

Seeing this, Qin Xuelian hurriedly chased after him.

"Wait, Yexing!" She reached out to hold Gu Yexing, "Let's calm down and talk."

But Gu Yexing had already rushed out of the room, and his footsteps echoed in the corridor. Qin Xuelian stood at the door, hesitated for a moment, and finally chased him out.

"Yexing! Wait!" Qin Xuelian shouted loudly in the corridor, but Gu Yexing had already disappeared around the corner.

Just then, a middle-aged man in casual clothes poked his head out from the next room.

He frowned and looked at Qin Xuelian with displeasure.

"Hey, what are you doing in the middle of the night?"

Qin Xuelian then realized that she was standing in the corridor wearing only a bathrobe, and felt immediately embarrassed.

She managed a forced smile. "Sorry to bother you. We...we were just playing a game."

The middle-aged man curled his lips, obviously not believing Qin Xuelian's explanation.

He muttered "young man" and slammed the door.

Qin Xuelian let out a long sigh and was about to return to her room when she heard the elevator door open. She turned around and saw Gu Yexing rushing into the elevator in a panic.

"Yexing!" Qin Xuelian shouted again, but the elevator door had already closed.

At this moment, Qin Xuelian's cell phone suddenly rang. She returned to the room and picked up the phone from the bedside table. Lin Yuan's name was displayed on the screen.

Qin Xuelian hesitated for a moment, but finally answered the call.

"Hello, Lin Yuan?" Her voice trembled a little.

Lin Yuan's excited voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xue Lian, what happened over there? I heard someone screaming."

Qin Xuelian didn't know how to answer for a moment.

She bit her lip and tried to make her voice sound calmer. "Nothing, it's just that the TV volume is a little loud."

Lin Yuan didn't seem to believe this explanation.

"Really? It sounds like someone is arguing. Are you sure you're okay?"

Just as Qin Xuelian was about to explain again, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open. A burly man walked in with a small camera in his hand.

“Ha! I caught you!” the man said smugly, “I knew there was something wrong with you two!”

Qin Xuelian looked at the stranger in surprise, not knowing how to react for a moment.

She subconsciously covered the microphone, but Lin Yuan's voice still came out of the phone: "Xue Lian? Xue Lian? What's wrong with you?"

The private detective looked at the mobile phone in Qin Xuelian's hand, and a cunning light flashed in his eyes.

"Oh? It seems our little lover is on the phone now." He said sarcastically, "What a wonderful show!"

Qin Xuelian felt dizzy and didn't know how to deal with the situation.

The appearance of the private detective, Gu Yexing's escape, and the anxious Lin Yuan on the other end of the phone, all made her feel extremely confused. At this moment, Lin Yuan's voice came from the phone again: "Xue Lian? What happened to you? I heard a stranger's voice. Are you okay?"

Qin Xuelian took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

She glanced at the man who claimed to be a private detective, and then said to the phone: "Lin Yuan, I have a small problem here. I will call you back later, okay?"

Lin Yuan's voice sounded full of worry: "Are you sure? Do you need me to come over and help?"

“No, no,” Qin Xuelian said hurriedly, “I can handle it. Really, you don’t have to worry.”

After hanging up the phone, Qin Xuelian turned to the private detective with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.

“Who are you? Why are you here?”

The private detective gave a smug smile and shook the camera in his hand.

"I was commissioned to investigate your relationship with Gu Yexing. I didn't expect to capture such a wonderful scene tonight."

Qin Xuelian's face turned pale instantly. She realized that her and Gu Yexing's plan might have been exposed.

"What did you see?"

"Oh, I saw a lot of interesting things," the private detective blinked, "For example, the strange reactions of the two of you just now. To be honest, I have never seen such a weird scene."

Qin Xuelian bit her lip and tried to think of a solution. At this moment, her cell phone rang again. It was Gu Yexing.

"Hello, Yexing?" Qin Xuelian answered the phone with a hint of uneasiness in her voice.

Gu Yexing's voice sounded a little flustered: "Xue Lian, I... I'm in the hotel lobby. I think we need to talk. What happened just now is too strange."

Qin Xuelian glanced at the private detective who was listening to her call with interest and whispered, "Okay, I'll be right down."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Xuelian took a deep breath and said to the private detective: "I need to go downstairs. Can you leave this room first?"

The private detective shrugged. “Of course, I’ve already taken enough photos of evidence. But I’m curious about how you’re going to explain all this.”

Qin Xuelian didn't answer, but quickly put on her clothes and rushed out of the room.

Her heart was beating fast and her mind was in a mess. She didn't know how to explain to Gu Yexing what had just happened, and she didn't know how to face Lin Yuan.

When the elevator door opened, Qin Xuelian saw Gu Yexing sitting on the sofa in the lobby, his face pale and his hands shaking constantly. She took a deep breath and walked over.

"Nightstar," she said softly, "we need to calm down and talk."

Gu Yexing looked up at her, his eyes full of fear and confusion. "Xuelian, what happened just now? I... I think I might be crazy."

Just then, Qin Xuelian noticed that in a corner of the lobby, the private detective was quietly pointing a camera at them. Her heart sank, realizing that things might be more complicated than she thought.

The private detective told Lin Yuan everything that had just happened and sent him the video.

He asked curiously: "Is there something wrong with you two?"

After watching the video, Lin Yuan burst into laughter and replied mysteriously: "You are only half right."

The private detective was confused: "What do you mean?"

Lin Yuan did not answer directly, but just said: "The mission is completed, you can leave."

The private detective wanted to ask more questions, but Lin Yuan had already hung up the phone. He stood there, scratching his head in confusion, not understanding what had just happened.
