"I want to ask, do you know whether Zhou Wu and his father are dead, or were they imprisoned like those three?"

Mike asked.

At that time, he hadn’t gotten any definite news about Zhou Wu and his father from Xiao Q and the others, so he intended to ask Bai Ze directly.

To see if Bai Ze knew.

After Bai Ze welcomed Mike inside, he poured a cup of tea for him and gestured for him to sit on the sofa. Bai Ze himself also sat down.

The white leather sofa was somewhat prone to showing dirt.

But it perfectly highlighted Bai Ze’s skin, which was even whiter than the sofa.

Bai Ze said, "I know what happened to those two."

"But tell me, do you think there’s such a thing as a free lunch in this world?"

At that moment, Mike pulled out a stack of USD from his pocket.

"Is this enough?"

Mike was straightforward;

if it could be solved with money, he would definitely use money.

Besides, in China, he was using the high-value USD.

That stack was probably worth five or six thousand USD, equivalent to forty or fifty thousand Chinese yuan.

But Bai Ze shook his head.

Mike thought it was because the money wasn’t enough.

So he said, "Too little? I can add more. Just name a number."

Bai Ze said, "No need for you to pay. You’ve already been compensated. You went to 1001 and rescued those three. That counts as your payment."

Mike pondered for a moment and said, "That doesn’t count. Those three also gave me very important information, which helped me decide to rescue them."

Mike pushed the money toward Bai Ze.

Bai Ze didn’t hesitate and took it directly.

Then he said, "Zhou Wu and his father are already dead."

Mike’s eyes narrowed. Although he had expected it, hearing it confirmed still shocked him slightly.

He asked, "What about the bodies?"

He didn’t ask who killed them;

it was unnecessary. They were already dead, and he wasn’t going to avenge them.

Bai Ze replied, "The bodies have long been gone. The murderer who killed them disposed of the bodies. That happened many days ago."

Mike nodded. "I understand."

Mike said, "By the way, do you have any proof to back up what you’re saying? Of course, I’m not saying I don’t trust you. You should understand my situation."

Bai Ze shook his head. "No evidence."

Mike said, "Alright then, but thanks anyway."

Then he stood up and left.

Bai Ze only looked at Mike’s departing back indifferently.

Mike left Bai Ze’s home and returned to 404.

404 had been severely damaged by the chainsaw murderer.

After Mike’s confrontation with Su Mi ended, he returned here.

He discovered the tragic state of 404.

He guessed that something had happened here related to Xiao Q and the others.

But what exactly had happened, he didn’t know. Nor did he know how 404 became such a mess, so badly ruined.

At that time, Mike was clearly confronting Su Mi. Under normal circumstances, Xiao Q and the others should have been safe.

But seeing this scene, Mike immediately thought Su Mi had accomplices.

That was why she could confront him on the 10th floor for so long without being anxious.

For the same reason, he inspected the entire 404.

Looking down from the balcony window, he saw large patches of blood.

He didn’t know what happened to Xiao Q and the others.

Whether they escaped or called the police.

So, at that time, he went to the surveillance room to check the footage.

Although the surveillance was often tampered with or edited.

But this time, strangely and luckily,

The footage showed no signs of tampering or editing.

Mike successfully watched the entire process.

He saw the three arrive on the fifth floor, chased by the chainsaw murderer who had killed Wu You, all the way to 404, then descend from 404 to the first floor along a cloth rope.

Although all three were injured, in the end, they at least escaped.

Their lives were saved.

After this, it was almost morning, and Mike saw many staff come to 404 to clean up, repair what needed repairing, and replace what needed replacing.

By the time Mike returned now, 404 was brand new.

After returning to 404, Mike packed his things, apparently preparing to leave.

He packed everything into a large backpack, then carried a blue suitcase to the rooftop, folding the telescope and putting it into the suitcase.

Finally, he went all the way down to the first floor.

Upon arriving on the first floor, he happened to lock eyes with Manager Xiao Zhang sitting in the management office.

Manager Xiao Zhang smiled and walked toward him:

"Mike, what’s with this outfit?"

Mike said, "I’m leaving, leaving this apartment."

Manager Xiao Zhang was stunned, probably not expecting Mike to leave.

He asked, "Really? You’re not joking, right?"

Mike lifted the backpack on his back: "All that needed to be done, all that needed to be understood, is finished."

"Enjoy yourselves."

After speaking, Mike walked out through the automatic glass door, leaving confidently behind him.

Manager Xiao Zhang watched Mike’s departing figure, pouted his lips, and said, "With you leaving, a bunch of people will be heartbroken."

The “bunch of people” he referred to were those in the live stream room who had bet on Mike.

At this moment, anyone following Mike would never have guessed.

Mike suddenly played a bold move.

This round wasn’t over yet!

He was actually about to leave Alice Apartment!!!

So, what consequences would this cause?!

First: Mike hadn’t signed any agreement, so he could leave Alice Apartment anytime, anywhere.

Second: If he left and didn’t return before midnight tonight, even if he returned on subsequent days of this round, in the betting, he would be counted as having lost directly.

Therefore, those who bet on Mike in the live stream room were terrified, cursing nonstop.

They could accept losing their bets, and accept their lab rats getting killed.

But they absolutely could not accept losing because the lab rat left the apartment early.

Live stream room.

Ultimate Rich Kid: "Gan Lin, Mike! You foreigner! No honor! Come back quickly! Aren’t you still planning to take revenge on Robert?!"

Ultimate Rich Kid had bet one million on Mike!

And it was his first bet. He definitely didn’t want to lose on his very first bet!

Others who bet on Mike were also anxious, but anxiety didn’t help. This was the freedom of someone who hadn’t signed any contract.

Including Jiang Ran. If he suddenly left for a few days this round, it would also count as losing this round directly.

Middle-aged Uncle laughed heartily in real life, then typed: "Hahaha, well done! Mike, you should strike hard against those who bet on you, especially Diamond Bachelor! Let her use privileges to target Jiang Ran!!!!"

Those who bet on Jiang Ran had not forgotten that Diamond Bachelor used privileges to arrange for Robert to kill Jiang Ran this round.

Then she bet on Mike herself to reap the benefits.

Now, seeing Mike like this, everyone was gloating.

Ultimate Rich Kid: "What’s so funny? Maybe this round, neither Mike nor Jiang Ran will win! But that Wang Anjian who has cancer might win!"

Ultimate Rich Kid made a valid point. After all, Robert still intended to target Jiang Ran. If he succeeded in killing Jiang Ran before Wang Anjian died, then those who bet on Wang Anjian would be the final winners.

If that really happened, it would be a huge dark horse.

A super upset!
