Guo Zhennan said unhappily, “They’re in the middle of a competition. If you want to go, go yourself. Why must you invite them?”
Women were unbelievable sometimes. How could they be so clueless in prioritizing the situation? They even needed someone to accompany them to the toilet.
Zhou Jimin’s ears turned hot from Guo Zhennan’s rebuke, so she could only go by herself. Before she left, she glanced suspiciously at Li Youran and Xiang Liwen.
She finally realized that the two girls must have switched out the drinks.
Therefore, while she headed to the bathroom, Zhou Jimin took out another phone and plugged in another SIM card. Seeing that there was no one inside the toilet, she dialed a number.
“Zhou Jimin, what’s going on over there? Why aren’t the members from the Camino team having diarrhea?”
“It must be Li Youran and Xiang Liwen who didn’t give them the drugged drinks. That’s why none of them need to use the toilet.”
“Our young master gave you so much money, but you can’t even accomplish such a small task!”
Hearing that the person on the other side of the line was angry, Zhou Jimin admitted that she failed in her duty this time. She said apologetically, “The blame mostly falls on that Zhong Nuannuan. Previously, she said that she couldn’t attend the training due to family matters, so I didn’t investigate her. Who knew that she would go against Young Master Kitano all the time. Now that things have turned out this way, I have some responsibility as well. How about this, I’ll return half of the money you gave me.”
“Hehe.” A low chuckle came from the other end of the line. “You’d better pray that our Young Master Kitano wins. If he loses, do you think this is something that can be solved with you returning half of your money?”
“That’s not… Hey!!!”
Zhou Jimin still wanted to explain, but the person on the phone ignored her and hung up.
Zhou Jimin’s face turned pale.
Recently, her family was in dire need of money, so when Kitano Satoshi’s men found her and transferred two million bucks to her card, she immediately agreed.
After all, victory and defeat were common. She believed that if Camino lost this time, they would just win the next time around. However, if she did not have these two million bucks, her husband would not be able to repay his debts. Even if she divorced him after knowing that the man had gone behind her back to gamble and lost so much, the gangsters told her that they would make her husband use the house to repay the debt, even if they divorced.
Therefore, she could only take the risk.
Originally, it was a sure-win situation, but she failed to expect Zhong Nuannuan’s participation to cause problems time and time again. As a result, before the competition even began, the reputation of the Yamato battle team had already been completely messed up.
However, she had already accepted the other party’s money. If the other party were to expose this matter, she would not be able to stay at the Education Bureau either now, would she?
With that thought in mind, Zhou Jimin quickly dialed the number again. However, the person refused to answer her call.
Zhou Jimin was scared out of her wits. She kept dialing the number, but no one picked up.
What she did not know was that the moment the man hung up, a group of police officers rushed into the man’s room and captured him before he could react.
Until he was taken away, the man was still confused.
The second round of the competition began.
In this round, everyone was allowed to fight for the chance to answer. After the host gave out the question and asked them to start, whoever pressed the answer button first would win.
