The attendant was stunned for a moment, then they looked at the attendant next to them in bewilderment.
Finally, one of the attendants spoke up, “There will be a sound.”
The attendant answered earnestly with a blank expression, “No matter how careful you are, there will always be a crisp metallic sound when opening the ventilation opening. It’s unavoidable.”
Bai Lixin asked, “Is the sound loud?”
The attendant walked to the wall of the restroom, curved his finger, and lightly tapped the wall with the back of his hand. Immediately, a clear metallic sound echoed through the crowded restroom. “It’s approximately this volume.”
The volume was not small. In a quiet surrounding, it would be easily noticeable.
Seemingly understanding Bai Lixin’s intention, the tour guide looked at the youngest son-in-law and asked, “Did you hear any sound at that time?”
The youngest son-in-law shook his head, “No, it was quiet the whole time, I swear.”
The director looked up at the ceiling and then at the youngest son-in-law before suddenly saying, “I know, it must be the two of you providing cover for each other.”
Everyone: “…”
Maybe you should take a break.
Everyone searched around the restroom but couldn’t find the eldest son-in-law.
Just like Mrs. Oude, he had disappeared into thin air.
After about half an hour, everyone returned without any success.
The previously empty dining table was now filled with food. Although it was not as exquisite as the previous two days, it still tasted delicious.
The fragrant food instantly dispelled the worries of the eldest daughter. She quickly sat down and started eating eagerly.
One serving was not enough, so she decisively took the youngest son-in-law’s meal next to her.
But what was enough for an ordinary person was just a drop in the bucket for her ever-expanding appetite since coming to the resort.
Her eyes turned to Bai Lixin once again. Seeing the pleading look from the eldest daughter, Bai Lixin took a bread roll from his plate and gave it to her, keeping the rest for himself.
The eldest daughter gratefully took the food, and expressed her thanks with her mouth full, “Thank you, Bai Lixin. You are a good person.”
“Every time you’re unwilling to eat, just give your food to me…”
“I know your feelings for me, but I’m sorry, the only person I love is my husband.”
Bai Lixin looked at the eldest daughter who was eating voraciously. “…”
I think food is the only thing that you love.
Others also noticed the eldest daughter’s hunger, so they gave her their unfinished food. During the meal, the eldest daughter ate with gusto until the plates were empty.
After dinner, the eldest daughter burped, “I’m still a little hungry.”
She turned to the tour guide, “Is there more food?”
The tour guide apologized with a smile, “I’m sorry, Miss, until the road is opened, we can only provide this amount every day. Please bear with us.”
The eldest daughter let out a wail of distress and painfully collapsed on the ground.
Everyone remained in the dining hall for the whole afternoon.
During that time, some people went to the restroom again, but this time they didn’t go in pairs. Aside from going in groups of three, they were accompanied by an attendant.
The afternoon passed without any further disappearances.
So, is the pattern that one person disappears each day?
Like this, the time came to evening.
The setting sun took away the light, as well as a bit of warmth.
The portion of dinner visibly decreased once again. The amount of food in front of everyone wasn’t enough to satisfy them, let alone the eldest daughter.
The eldest daughter held her hungry stomach in discomfort, gazing at the dim night sky outside, feeling terrible all over.
She couldn’t contain her emotions any longer and forcefully pounded on the table, venting her dissatisfaction.
“What’s going on?!”
“I’m so hungry, so tired, and so uncomfortable, wuuu…”
“Why is this happening? We paid a hefty price to come to this resort, but now we haven’t enjoyed anything. We’re treated like criminals, locked up all day.”
“I don’t want this. I want to go back to my room and sleep. I’ve been sitting in a chair all day, and my butt hurts. Wuu, Father, I feel terrible. I want to go home.”
Mr. Nick looked at the eldest daughter with compassion and patiently reassured her, “Don’t cry, my dear. Hold on for two more days, and Father will take you home. When we get home, you can eat whatever you want and drink whatever you want, okay?”
Bai Lixin silently looked at the youngest daughter, seeing a hint of mockery in her hollow eyes.
Mrs. Aisli also spoke up, “That’s right, we’ve been sitting here for a whole day. Can’t we even sleep?”
“You men may be fine, but can you show some understanding for us ladies? We wake up early in the morning to dress up, our hair is pulled all day by hairpins causing pain, our waists are bound tightly all the time, and on our feet are high heels that bring us not only beauty but also pain.”
“I feel so uncomfortable. I want to go back to my room and change clothes.”
The tour guide pondered for two seconds and nodded, “Of course, madam. It’s only natural to have sufficient sleep at night. Otherwise, the bodies of our innocent guests might be worn out before catching the culprit.”
Mr. Nick asked, “Then how do we rest at night? There are still two terrifying corpses hanging upstairs.”
“Do you expect us to sleep next to the corpses? I won’t do it.”
The tour guide said, “Ladies and gentlemen, how about this? We have a large reception room on the ground floor. Inside, there are several suites where you can bring your personal belongings and temporarily stay there.”
“If everyone stays together, I believe the culprit won’t find an opportunity to act.”
The crowd exchanged glances, and Mrs. Aisli asked, “Will the men and women be separated?”
The tour guide replied, “Of course, madam.”
A relieved expression appeared on her face, and she relaxed her tone, “Then I have no problem with it.”
One by one, Mr. Nick’s family agreed, and Bai Lixin’s group naturally had no objections.
Only the group of four actors seemed reluctant, but under pressure, they also reluctantly nodded in agreement.
The tour guide smiled, “Then please hurry up and go upstairs to pack. To be safe, we’ll assign an attendant to each of you to help. Is that okay?”
Actress Elizabeth furrowed her eyebrows slightly, “But our belongings are our privacy.”
The tour guide said, “They will only be waiting outside, ensuring your safety.”
The actress also eased her stance, “Then I have no problem.”
The dining room fell into silence.
No one spoke another word.
The tour guide looked around and said, “Alright, please go upstairs and pack your things. Gather in front of the dining hall entrance within an hour, and then I will take you to the reception room on the ground floor.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Lixin walked up to one of the attendants and said, “Can you come with me?”
The young female attendant was momentarily stunned, then nodded numbly, “Yes, sir. I’m happy to assist you.”
Just as Bai Lixin was about to leave with the attendant, Jia’er’s unique and ethereal neutral voice floated into his ears, “Tsk tsk, so, now that you have an attendant sister, you’ve forgotten about your disabled sister? Mr. Bai Lixin, don’t you feel like you’re missing something important?”
“For example, a beautiful lady?”
Bai Lixin: “…”
I wouldn’t dare.
Even if I cut off my own head, I wouldn’t dare to challenge the King of Jealousy.

[Charming Boss, jealousy online.]
[You bad man, forgetting about Sister Jia’er once you have Sister Attendant, hmph!]
[I never expected the big boss to even get jealous of the attendant sister.]
[So, did God Xin cue this attendant for a reason? Did he discover something?]
[He was also directing his question at her when they were in the restroom.]
[Didn’t you guys notice?]
[Notice what?]
[…This female attendant is quite beautiful, and she looks remarkably similar to someone.]
