The day, filled with astonishing events, passed by quietly.
Lying on the communal bed, Yu Zhou tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Today had been truly fantastical. Before the "rocking machine" project was confirmed, Yu Zhou had been in a state of extreme tension.
Not only that, but when he was apprehended, a hint of fear had actually surfaced in his heart.
Only now did he realize that even as a reborn individual, there were times he could still feel fear.
He didn't want his meticulously managed second life to be ruined in Ningzhou, nor did he want his wife, parents, friends, and brothers to be saddened by his plight.
However, many accidents happen so abruptly.
Even though Yu Zhou had tried his best to navigate the situation, that feeling in his heart persisted, and grew even stronger.
"Perhaps, for me, things that are beyond my control evoke a certain inexplicable fear? It's just that this fear can be greater or lesser."
"This has served as a lesson for me. As long as I can get out and no further accidents occur, I will definitely improve security measures when I return."
Yu Zhou carefully considered his future arrangements within the covers.
He imagined that his family and the people at his factory were probably just as unable to sleep as he was.
It was a shame, though, that he couldn't contact them for now. Only when they allowed him to make a call would communication be less suspicious.
Ningzhou was an unfamiliar place for him. Even if something happened, he couldn't guarantee the safe transmission of information.
Under these circumstances, he couldn't assure his absolute safety.
Yet, to claim that these people were completely restricting his personal freedom in such a place felt rather absurd.
He had at least the freedom to move around, and at least the time to call home.
However, without permission, or someone accompanying him, he simply couldn't go out alone.
People said this was a huge money-making venture. Thinking about it carefully, such a situation might indeed be possible.
But this did not mean that Yu Zhou wasn't worried about his own safety.
"Are you asleep?"
Just as Yu Zhou was contemplating how to gain their complete trust.
A very soft voice from beside the bed reached his ears.
He looked up in surprise and saw that the beautiful girl he had spoken with earlier that day had come into the boys' room.
Her pair of dark, large eyes stared intently at him, making Yu Zhou's heart pound. He was so startled he almost cried out.
Good heavens, who could handle such a situation?
Even for someone as experienced as him, he had never encountered this.
Suddenly, while you are lying in your room, a beautiful girl appears, leans over your bed, and speaks to you.
Whether you are asleep or not, your heart would be pounding at this moment.
It was fortunate that he didn't have a heart attack.
Alright, Yu Zhou's entire back was now covered in cold sweat. He said cautiously, "What is it?"
He knew that among this group of men, there must be some who were not asleep. Otherwise, they would have simply opened the door and run out.
But for a girl to suddenly come to his room in the middle of the night, appearing hesitant to speak, still made Yu Zhou feel a sense of dread. Could it be that she wanted to escape with him?
"I can't sleep, I miss home. Shall we go out and talk?"
The girl spoke very sincerely, so sincerely that Yu Zhou himself found it unbelievable.
However, recalling what she had said during the day, coupled with her expression, Yu Zhou cautiously sat up.
The two of them slowly walked out of the room and came to the only balcony.
"Is there something wrong?"
Yu Zhou patiently and directly asked.
He didn't believe that this beautiful girl knew nothing. If she sought him out in the middle of the night for no reason, even ghosts wouldn't believe it.
But what could it be? Could it be that this girl was lonely after being in this pyramid scheme organization for so long?
If that were the case, Yu Zhou wouldn't be the first choice, would he?
After all, according to Yu Zhou's observations, there were many young people in this house.
There were boys as young as seventeen or eighteen, and even in terms of appearance, while he was considered quite handsome, he wasn't the most attractive.
There was one young man who was handsome enough to be a big star, comparable to the later generations of Daniel Wu in various regions.
It shouldn't have come down to him, should it?
"Are you having trouble sleeping?"
As soon as the girl reached the balcony, she placed her fair, jade-like hands on Yu Zhou's shoulder.
In an instant, Yu Zhou felt as if he had been electrocuted, and his entire body became restless.
Was it really as he thought? Was this girl seeking him out because she was lonely? That shouldn't be right?
"This must be a test. Yes, it must be a test."
Yu Zhou's heart began to flutter, and his expression became tense.
He had never imagined he would have such "fortune." Every day was too stimulating.
"Sister, can't we just say what we need to say directly? The way you're acting, I feel it's a bit inappropriate!"
Yu Zhou put on a pained expression, feeling increasingly uneasy.
Yes, uneasy. He really couldn't understand what was going on with this girl.
Could it be that it was a directive from the leader, a perk for every salesman who participated in this business?
If that were truly the case, Yu Zhou felt his worldview would be shattered.
What on earth was going on?
Were people's attitudes so changeable every day? Were these people not tired of living in such a charade?
He felt tired just watching, yet they were still engrossed in it, making him truly unable to comprehend what was on their minds.
"Inappropriate? What's inappropriate about it?"
"In this house, many men and women are gathered together. Some men and some women have more than one playmate."
"I've only sought you out. What's inappropriate about that?"
The beautiful girl continued to speak, but her words almost made Yu Zhou roll his eyes and faint.
Good heavens, he knew that pyramid schemes were chaotic, but he had never expected them to be this chaotic.
No wonder men and women lived together in the same house. So, there was a story behind it?
