After the minor character transforms into a beauty, she steals the heart of a tycoon's son.

The banquet hall lights tilted down from above Ruan Tang's head, bathing her in a soft glow.

Her hair was as black as a waterfall, her skin was as white as snow, and her small, tender red lips were slightly pouting.

Her eyes, both innocent and alluring, were fixed on the man, like a kitten begging for a treat by placing its paws on its owner's lap.

Si Lin stared at that pretty little face, his Adam's apple bobbing.

He had seen her cry, seen her hide, seen her stubborn, but he had rarely seen her approach and try to please him like this.

The last time she kissed him was to plead for the resistance group.

This time, she practically clung to his hand and acted coquettishly, all to plead for the two special admissions students.

Lin Xiaokui and Su Nian have a lot of influence with her.

However, in the end, he got off easy.

"Beg me, but there will be a price to pay."

Ruan Tang nodded quickly. Because the game was about to start, she was a little anxious and tugged at his sleeve, flashing her fair wrist in front of him.

"I agree to everything."

Si Lin reached out, pinched her chin, and gently rubbed his thumb against her slightly pouting lower lip.

The force was not strong, carrying a hint of restraint.

Then he released his grip, spread his crossed legs, stood up, and announced, "Let's change the rules of the game."

The banquet hall fell silent, and everyone turned to look at him.

Waiting for Si Lin to speak.

"The Cat Team can only send out five people at a time. After capturing a member of the Mouse Team, they must be sent back to the hall for registration. No information exchange is allowed in between."

"One hour. Pei Heng, you arrange the cats' turns."

Pei Heng raised an eyebrow, glanced at Ruan Tang, and smiled, "Alright, I'll listen to you."

A murmur arose from the nobles' group.

A male student in grade B whispered to the person next to him, "We can only send out five people each round, and we can't exchange information."

"If the specially admitted students hide, our search locations will likely overlap in each round."

The person next to him shrugged and didn't dare to say anything.

But despite the whispers, no one dared to stand up and object.

Gu Beiheng and Jiang Yubai exchanged a glance.

Jiang Yubai glanced at the people in the back row and shook his head slightly, meaning: This is a rule personally set by Young Master Si, so don't discuss it too much.

-

Games start.

The game area covers the entire banquet hall building, from the first to the seventh floor, except for the central sofa area where the butlers are located.

The first floor is the main hall, with crystal chandeliers hanging high, and a circular sofa and bar taking up most of the space. There is also a rockery fountain against the wall.

The second floor is a leisure area, with a billiards room, a chess and card room, and a cigar room lined up in a row.

The third floor is a lounge, and the corridors on both sides are private suites.

The fourth floor is a swimming pool with a transparent glass skylight in the dome, where the water surface glistens.

There are five, six, and seven floors above. The higher the floor, the more hiding places there are, but the fewer escape routes there are once blocked.

Lin Xiaokui stood at the front of the special admissions team.

She knew that Ruan Tang had done her best, only sending out five cats per round, and not being able to exchange information. This was the limit that Si Lin could give.

They will have to rely on themselves from now on.

Lin Xiaokui looked at the group of girls in formal dresses in front of her and spoke in a low voice.

"If you just hide casually and don't take it seriously, then once you get caught, you'll just blend into the crowd."

"But if you can survive to the end, you will definitely attract everyone's attention."

Lin Xiaokui looked around at the pretty faces with their exquisite makeup. "Don't tell me you don't care. Let's all be honest and stop pretending."

"Your presence at the carnival is simply to broaden your horizons, to hook up with more powerful figures, and to acquire more resources, isn't it?"

Ye Mian, standing at the back of the crowd, smiled softly upon hearing this.

The leader of this resistance group wasn't entirely wrong.

None of the specially admitted girls present were there simply to participate in the campus social event.

But Lin Xiaokui underestimated the extravagance of the chaebols.

What those nobles managed to obtain, even in the smallest amounts, was already a ceiling that ordinary people could never earn in several lifetimes.

They don't need to fight as hard as she did, gambling away their dignity and fairness.

However, Ye Mian didn't say these words aloud.

After all, people strive for better things, and who wouldn't want more money? Who wouldn't want to meet a better sugar daddy?

It is self-contradictory, yet logically consistent.

The other specially admitted girls were too lazy to think about how much truth was in Lin Xiaokui's words.

Since the game has already started, getting caught too easily will make those young masters think they're not taking it seriously.

It's good to have someone help them plan.

However, the girls all tacitly agreed that they couldn't be the ones who didn't get caught in the end, causing the noble team to lose the game and lose face in front of everyone.

Lin Xiaokui, however, thought that she had convinced them.

-

Ten minutes of hiding time are up.

The Cat Team sent out five people in the first round, all of whom were B-level nobles.

They rarely take things seriously.

After all, they didn't want to lose to these bed-bound canaries when playing games in front of the deacon council.

That would be too undignified.

The cat team has just discussed their strategy: each group of five will search only one floor, and after they finish searching, the next group will take over and search the next floor, and so on.

This method is the most efficient and can, to some extent, compensate for the limitation of not being able to exchange information.

From the first floor to the seventh floor, the B-level nobles searched every room.

Someone pulled a girl out from under the billiard table on the second floor. Her skirt was caught on the corner of the table. She gave the man a coquettish look as she came out.

The nobleman accepted it all, pulling her into his arms as they walked downstairs, flirting as he said, "You're quite good-looking. Come with me tonight, and I promise I'll treat you well."

Someone found two beauties huddled together in a closet on the fifth floor. When they were caught, they were still alluring, maintaining their beauty, and leaning coquettishly into the man's arms.

Someone also found a girl who was so bored that she almost fell asleep behind the piano on the seventh floor.

For each person captured, the corresponding nobleman must bring them back to the first-floor hall for registration, and they can no longer participate.

Of course, they weren't bored during the short few minutes of the arrest.

While completing his mission, he also took advantage of the beautiful women.

With twenty minutes remaining, all seven floors were searched in order.

But five people have not yet been found.

Lin Xiaokui, Su Nian, Ye Mian, and two other specially admitted students with Ye Mian.

Gu Beiheng stood up from the sofa and straightened his cuffs.

Jiang Yubai also stood up, followed by the remaining three A-level nobles.

They caught the last five mice themselves.

The five people went up to the third floor and, as they turned the corner, bumped into three figures who came out of the cigar room.

Ye Mian walked in front, followed by two girls who were also wearing short skirts.

The three of them saw Gu Beiheng and Jiang Yubai walking towards them and simultaneously showed a wronged expression.

Ye Mian was the first to approach, her fingers naturally resting on Gu Beiheng's arm.

She tilted her head back, her voice soft and sweet, with a hint of coquettishness at the end, "There's a dark room behind the screen in the cigar room. We accidentally wandered in. It was so dark and scary."

"I was just thinking of finding another place to hide."

Jiang Yubai reached out and put his arm around her waist, his fingers gently stroking her side. "That's no coincidence. You three little mice delivered yourselves to my doorstep, and now you've been caught."
