When the three heard the hostess's voice behind them, they immediately felt a cold sweat on their backs.

Chen Mu reacted the fastest. He immediately turned his head with a smile on his face.

"It's Auntie. I'm so sorry to see you so late at night. We took a walk after dinner and saw this door looked a bit strange, so we went outside to take a look.

If we disturb your rest, we will go downstairs now."

After hearing Chen Mu's polite explanation, the hostess's expression eased a lot, and she waved her hand, "It's okay, since you are Xiao Fei's classmate, there is no problem for you to visit the villa.

Just don't enter my room, you can go anywhere else in the villa.

By the way, don’t come into these two rooms during the day. It’s better to come at night, it will be safer.”

After saying this, the hostess turned and left.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the hostess did not pursue the matter.

It was already late, around ten o'clock in the evening, which was no longer daytime.

Xiaoye said with some concern: "The hostess said it is best to enter these two rooms at night, does that mean we can enter these two rooms?

It's night time now, and it feels a little weird to enter an unknown room at night."

The man in the suit was also in a dilemma. Should he trust the hostess and enter the two rooms at night?

Chen Mu was silent beside him. He kept his head down and didn't say anything, as if he was thinking about something.

Suddenly, Chen Mu thought of something. He looked at the man in the suit who was about to break the door, and pulled him back.

"Back off! Back off immediately!"

Chen Mu shouted in a low voice.

This sudden low shout startled Xiaoye and the man in the suit.

Xiaoye was very mobile and took several steps back almost as if it were a conditioned reflex.

The man in the suit looked at Chen Mu in confusion, wondering why Chen Mu reacted so violently.

"We can't enter these two rooms at night! The hostess wants to kill us!" said Chen Mu.

Hearing this, the man in the suit took two steps back and asked in confusion, "Brother, why do you say that?"

"Do you still remember the rules between the client and the hostess that forbid us to go to the beach in the middle of the night?" Chen Mu said.

"I know. But we are in a villa now, not at the beach. Why are you so nervous?" The man in the suit continued to be puzzled.

"You haven't reacted yet! Don't go to the beach. Another meaning is don't get close to the sea water." Chen Mu said, "Taste the sea water. Taste it carefully."

After hearing what Chen Mu said, the man in the suit gradually came to his senses.

Judging from the degree of rust on the iron door of the room, it can be determined that the room is filled with sea water.

If they opened the door in the middle of the night and entered the room late at night, wouldn't they be close to the sea?

If you get close to sea water after midnight, you will most likely die!

Thinking of this, the man in the suit couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He glanced at Chen Mu, who still looked calm and reliable.

"This guy is really capable." The man in the suit muttered to himself.

Chen Mu glanced at the time. "It's 10 o'clock at night now. If I want to open the door and find the tools to break in, it will probably be past 12 o'clock. If I go in at that time, I will definitely die.

So that's all we can do today. Let's go back to the room and rest early. We'll come back early tomorrow morning to break in and check the situation."

Xiaoye naturally supported Chen Mu's arrangement, and the man in the suit had no objection.

The three of them returned to the first floor and went back to their respective rooms.

Chen Mu and Xiao Ye had just taken a rest when there was a knock on the door.

Chen Mu opened the door and saw the Wilderness Wanderer standing outside.

"Weren't you going to stay out tonight? Why are you back?" Chen Mu teased.

The Wilderness Wanderer scratched his head. "I'm back to get the toiletries. Boss, I may not be back tonight. I'm sure I found a way to exchange food. Wait for my good news tomorrow morning."

"What on earth are you doing? Are you sure you can really exchange for food?"

Chen Mu still asked with concern. After all, this was related to whether he could survive.

If they don't get the maid's food tomorrow morning, according to the client's rules, Chen Mu and the other three will die after eating breakfast, even if they have eaten for three days.

The Wilderness Wanderer patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Boss. If I can't exchange it for food, I will snatch it back even if I risk my life."

Although the Wild Wanderer is not very reliable in small matters, when it comes to important matters, the Wild Wanderer can still distinguish the priorities.

"Well, I believe in your ability." Chen Mu patted his shoulder, "How did you exchange it? Tell us about it."

"Ahem, Boss, you'd better stop asking. Just wait for the food."

"Okay then, don't cause me any trouble." Chen Mu said, "I want to ask you for a favor, can you do it?"

When the Wilderness Wanderer heard this, he immediately became excited, "Boss, don't worry, your business must be done. I am here to help you do the work that cannot be put on the table."

Chen Mu couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Don't fool me, I never asked you to 'pick up girls' or anything like that.

This isn't a difficult task. Just ask the maid to help me find a tool to pry open the door. I'll need it tomorrow morning."

Being exposed by Boss Chen, the Wilderness Wanderer couldn't help but blush, and said repeatedly: "Boss, don't worry, there will be absolutely no problem."

After saying this, the Wilderness Wanderer began to gather his things and packed his toiletries.

Looking at the busy wilderness wanderer, Chen Mu asked curiously: "Xiao Lang, you followed the maid all day today, what on earth were you doing?"

"Boss, I didn't do anything. I just helped her. Oh, I almost forgot, the maid's work today was a bit strange."

"Oh? Tell me."

"She took me from room to room with a small shovel and bucket.

In one room, she found a barnacle and shouted loudly, and quickly shoveled it away. She said it was a good thing she found it early, otherwise there would be trouble in the room.

Chen Mu was deep in thought, and he finally understood why there were traces of peeling on the wall, and why there were marks of a small shovel next to the traces of peeling.

Now it seems that those white marks should be barnacles growing on the wall.

When the maid finds barnacles, she will use a small shovel to remove them, leaving behind shovel marks.

Why are there barnacles in the villa? What is the hidden clue behind it?

Why did the maid have to shovel away the barnacles? What would be the consequences if she didn't?

Suddenly, Chen Mu thought of the hostess's rules, one of which was that if barnacles appeared in the room, the maid should be notified in time.

While Chen Mu was puzzled, the Wild Wanderer had already packed up. He took his toiletries and left the room.
