章 44: Chapter 44: Unexpected Exclusion (Five updates asking for recommendation votes)

Gao Jie was by no means an easy woman to get along with, and now that she had started speaking, her expression became even more serious.

Staring at Hai Mingzhu, Gao Jie said, "We indeed played tricks, and it's also true that we filled the secret room with water. We were testing your responses in a crisis situation. You might think we were trying to harm you. But in the end, none of you were harmed."

"That's because Advisor Shen found the way out," retorted Hai Mingzhu.

"That's only because it was a test."

Gao Jie was unapologetic, "We didn't want any of you to die, so we slowed the rate at which the water was entering the room; we didn't want you to die, so even though we let Qi Li and Qi Tai create a terrifying atmosphere, we allowed Qi Xin to stay with you to prevent any accident. None of you have died, right?"

Hai Mingzhu was left speechless.

She had been asked the same question by Shen Yue before, and she couldn't answer him then, and she still couldn't answer now.
