The inspection staff arrived quickly. They did not just barge into the room unreasonably, but knocked on the door first.

"Hello guest, I would like to spare you a few minutes. We are looking for stowaways here. Could you please cooperate?"

The staff member was very polite, but everyone knew that he was just informing, not asking.

No one on the third to sixth floors has the right to refuse the staff’s inspection.

Ran Jia panicked when she heard the knock on the door and the staff's voice. She nervously looked at Ruan Qing who was sitting on the sofa.

Ruan Qing raised his chin slightly, signaling Ran Jia to open the door, but he was sitting on the sofa with no intention of hiding.

Ran Jia calmed down when she saw Ruan Qing who was calm and composed, and she slowly walked towards the door.

However, before she even touched the door, there was a sound of "Didi——!" coming from the door.

That's the sound you make when you open the door by swiping the invitation letter.

The next second, the door to the room opened.

The staff member put the ID card that opened the door into his chest pocket and saluted politely towards the stunned Ran Jia, "Excuse me, guest."

The tone of the staff was polite and respectful, but they did not take the guests seriously, because after the staff finished speaking, they led the other staff behind them directly into the room.

Seeing this, Ran Jia subconsciously looked in the direction of the sofa nervously.

The sofa is located in the hall of the room. You can see it at a glance when you enter the room. Even from Ran Jia's position at the door, you can see the young man sitting on the sofa at a glance.

But the staff seemed to be blind and began to search the room without even looking at the sofa.

It's like... there's no one on the couch.

Ran Jia was stunned. She looked up in shock at the wall where Ruan Qing had just painted, and found that the circles and strange patterns had completely disappeared.

When she looked at the sofa again, even the people on the sofa had disappeared.

This time, even if she changed positions, the person sitting on the sofa did not appear again.

There was shock in Ran Jia's eyes. The boss was indeed a boss. He could deceive everyone's eyes by just drawing a few patterns.

The staff searched very carefully, searching all the places where people could hide, even the narrow ventilation ducts under the bed and on top.

Nothing, nothing suspicious.

After the search staff completed the search, they signaled to the leading staff member one after another to report their search results.

However, the last search staff member had finished his report, and the leading staff member had no intention of leaving.

He looked at Ran Jia with a smile, "Excuse me, what were you looking at just now?"

"Is there anything on the sofa?"

The air froze instantly, Ran Jia's expression also froze, and her whole body became tense.

Just when Ran Jia was about to answer, Qi Yi silently walked to the sofa, picked up a pen from under the sofa, put it on the table in front of the sofa, and sat on the sofa himself.

He used his actions to show that what Ran Jia was looking at was the dropped pen, and also used his actions to prove that there was nothing on the sofa.

Probably because Qi Yi sat up too quickly, he almost sat directly on Ruan Qing's lap. Fortunately, Qi Yi turned a little to the side when he sat down and sat next to Ruan Qing.

It's just that the two of them were very close, and the legs of the two who were closer were directly touching each other.

The warmth that did not belong to him made Ruan Qing lower his eyes uncomfortably, but he did not move at all, nor did he make a sound.

The staff member's observation skills were so keen that the hypnosis he set could only deceive his eyes at best, but not his brain or judgment.

It turned out that this reason was indeed unable to convince the staff. The leading staff member raised his chin towards the staff member on his right.

The staff member on his right saw this and walked towards the sofa.

Ran Jia looked at the people sitting on the sofa, her whole heart was nervous, and she even unconsciously leaned towards the sofa.

The leading staff member next to him narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw Ran Jia's performance, and slowly walked towards the sofa.

Ruan Qing looked sideways at the two people walking over and sat motionless on the sofa, showing no sign of nervousness at all.

On the other hand, Qi Yi looked up at the two staff members expressionlessly, the blackness in his eyes getting darker, and there was even a hint of murderous intent.

Just when Qi Yi moved his fingers slightly, his hand was caught off guard.

If someone had touched Qi Yi normally, Qi Yi would have killed the opponent without hesitation, but this time Qi Yi not only did not make a move, but also froze up.

In fact, Ruan Qing pulled very lightly, almost holding Qi Yi's hand in vain, but Qi Yi felt that the hand he was holding was stiff as if it no longer belonged to him, and the warm and soft touch seemed soft.

Go to the bottom of his heart.

Qi Yi pursed her thin lips unnaturally and sat stiffly on the sofa, looking a little dazed.

It's like someone has cast a restraining spell on you.

The staff member looked at the sofa where Qi Yi was sitting, even bent down to touch the sofa, and looked under the sofa. After confirming that it was impossible to accommodate a person under the sofa, he stood up and shook his head towards the leading staff member.

Shake his head.

Nothing unusual.

The sofa is specially made. In order to prevent it from fluctuating with the waves on the cruise ship, it is made of solid wood and cannot hide a person.

Ran Jia was still in a panic, but she calmed down after seeing that the two people did not notice Ruan Qing. She looked at the staff and explained with some embarrassment, "I, I was just reading the pen."

"Just before you came in, I dropped my pen on the ground. My brother and I have been looking for it."

The leading staff member nodded to express his understanding, but the next second he smiled and said, "For this guest, the distance from the sofa to the door is five meters. It takes about thirteen seconds for a normal person to walk five meters."

"

"Including the time it takes you to react to the sound and the time it takes to stand up, up to thirty seconds."

"But I opened the door forty seconds after knocking on the door, and you were still one meter away from the door. Can you tell me why?"

"I...I'm looking for a pen." Ran Jia became nervous again. She explained, "I thought I would find it soon, so I wanted to find it and open the door for you."

The staff member heard this and asked, "Then why did you change your mind?"

"I searched for a while but couldn't find it." Ran Jia pursed her lips, "I was afraid that you would wait too long, so I gave up first."

The staff member nodded again to show his understanding, "Since we came in, you have looked at the wall twice for a total of twenty-two seconds, and looked at the sofa four times for a total of one minute and twenty-three seconds."

"When you looked at the sofa, your mood fluctuated greatly. Can you explain why?"

Before Ran Jia could answer, the staff member smiled and said, "If you just dropped the pen, you shouldn't be nervous, right?"

Ran Jia was extremely nervous. She didn't expect that she had so many flaws, and she didn't expect that the staff had been observing her. For a moment, her brain began to be confused after being interrogated.

"I...I, because I...my brother and I are..." Cold sweat broke out on Ran Jia's nervous forehead. She hesitated for a long time and couldn't say anything. Finally,

Her mind was confused and she subconsciously said, "I'm... having an affair!"

Staff: "......?"

The leading staff member's expression went blank for a moment, and other staff members also looked at Ran Jia, with a hint of shock and subtlety appearing on their usually serious faces.

Having said the words, Ran Jia closed her eyes and spoke with a brave face, "When you knocked on the door, I was talking to my brother...that's why I couldn't open the door in time."

The staff member was probably too shocked and a little unresponsive, so his words lost their poise and said, "This, that's it."

"Sorry to bother you."

The staff came and left quickly, and the room became quiet again.

Ran Jia breathed a sigh of relief. Just when she was about to speak, Ruan Qing shook his head at her, then raised his chin to indicate the direction of the door.

That group of people haven't left yet.

It's hard to fool that group of people with this kind of excuse.

After all, Ran Jia and Qi Yi didn't look like people who would do that kind of thing, not to mention that their clothes were so neatly dressed that no one with any sense would believe them.

Ran Jia immediately understood what Ruan Qing meant and stood there without daring to move, for fear of exposing some flaws.

But precisely because of this, something felt even more wrong, as if the people inside the door knew that the staff had not left.

Ran Jia's acting skills are not very good, even if she is told what to do, she may still show flaws.

Ruan Qing did not place his hope on Ran Jia. He stood up directly, walked to Ran Jia quickly and silently, and then walked towards the sofa without lowering his footsteps.

Ran Jia's excuse was too outrageous, but now she can only put this reason into perspective.

Ruan Qing spoke while walking, and the voice that came out was Ran Jia's, "Qi Yi, they are leaving."

"Let's continue."

Ruan Qing's tone was full of ambiguity. After he finished speaking, he sat on the sofa and made a sound of rubbing against his clothes.

Then he spoke again, but this time it was Qi Yi's voice, with a hint of hoarseness and gasping, "Sister, don't..."

Qi Yi looked at Ruan Qing, who directed and acted in surprise, and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

But Ruan Qing didn't give Qi Yi a chance to speak. He covered Qi Yi's mouth with one hand, and then made a hoarse and forbearing voice in Qi Yi's voice.

"Well..."

Ruan Qing sketched out the picture with just his voice, and the whole process sounded heart-pounding, as if something indescribable was happening in the room.

Qi Yi lowered his eyes and looked at the hand covering his mouth. Although his face was still expressionless, his ears were secretly red, and his whole body was stiffer than before.
