Chapter 5: The second round of speeches is over!

Ying Lei glanced at Yang Feng's pistol, and a strange desire for survival emerged. He quickly added,

"That was a bit presumptuous of me. I'm just too curious."

"Brother, please don't mind it. You can scold me or hit me, but please don't shoot me!"

Yang Feng raised an eyebrow, "You can ask, but I might not answer."

Ying Lei breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and asked, "Brother, why did you kidnap people from various regions?"

"Wouldn't it be simpler to just kidnap seven people directly in Shangjing City?"

Yang Feng smiled slightly, "After the game ends, I will tell you the answer."

Ying Lei was silent for a moment, then grinned and politely said, "Okay, thank you, Brother!"

The other five people: "......"

They were a bit speechless.

Someone kidnapped you, and you're thanking them?

You're quite polite!

Yang Feng lightly tapped the table with the gun barrel and said, "The self-introductions in the last round are over. Three people lied, and there are eight minutes left in the game."

As soon as he spoke, the scene fell silent.

Everyone's expressions gradually became serious.

Three people lied in the self-introductions of the last round!?

Instantly, a seed named 'suspicion' was planted in everyone's heart.

The most important thing is that there are only eight minutes left!

The self-introductions in the last round took four minutes, which means there are at most two more rounds before the game ends.

They don't have many opportunities left!

Ying Lei took a deep breath, his eyes a bit unfocused, his mind recalling the self-introductions from the last round.

If he had to be suspicious, only Li Xiang was a bit suspicious; he hesitated when talking about his profession.

But there were still two other people lying!

Damn it! Two scums, how could three people be lying?!

Someone wants to make the situation chaotic!

This game has become complicated!

Ying Lei lowered his head, looked at Li Xiang, who was still dazed from the throw, and after a moment of silence, he slowly squatted down, patted Li Xiang's face, and said, "Go back to your seat, the next round of questioning is about to begin."

Li Xiang stood up from the ground, shook his heavy head, glared sharply at Ying Lei, but said nothing, mainly because he was wary of being hit again, so he silently returned to his seat.

Ying Lei walked a few steps forward, turned around to face the six people, and said in a deep voice, "After the self-introductions, we have a preliminary understanding of each other."

"However, three of us are lying."

"Among these three... two are highly likely to be scums, and the other person has ulterior motives, wanting to make the situation chaotic."

"I don't know what his purpose is, but to survive, we must find the scums."

"And for scums to avoid exposure, they should avoid lying, only lying about key points."

"Lying about names, hometowns, ages, and the time of kidnapping is meaningless; these are not key points."

"So, the liars can only lie about their professions."

"Next, we will ask some professional questions in order, so we can immediately know who is lying!"

"This time, I'll start, and I just demonstrated my profession, so I can skip this."

"Also, we need to speed up to find out how many people are lying in this round."

"In the next round, we can ask questions about ethics to find the scums. Only then can we survive!"

Everyone saw the over-the-shoulder throw and had no objection to Ying Lei's profession.

This also ruled him out as a liar, and he also had combat experience, which was an advantage, so everyone silently listened to him.

"Then I'll start first."

Wang Lei raised his hand and smiled faintly, "You can ask me a question about law."

Ying Lei heard this and was very interested, so he quickly asked, "If a dog bites me and I kick it to death, does that count as legitimate self-defense?"

Wang Lei was silent for a moment.

He never expected someone to ask such a bizarre question.

"That's not called legitimate self-defense, because a dog hasn't studied law; it has no concept of prevention. This falls under emergency avoidance."

"However, if someone intentionally sets a dog on you and you kick the dog to death, that is legitimate self-defense."

"Only when the dog is already a tool for crime can it constitute legitimate self-defense."

Ying Lei looked enlightened, "So that's how it is!"

Immediately after, his gaze shifted to Du Wanjun, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "I don't know much about medicine. Does anyone here know about medicine?"

"My mother is a doctor, I know a little."

Gu Qingling raised her hand, "What are the operating principles for venous blood collection?"

Du Wanjun didn't hesitate at all and blurted out, "Five major principles: 1. Verify the doctor's orders and prepare. 2. Assist the patient in preparing. 3. Perform the puncture according to aseptic technique. 4. Collect an appropriate amount of blood and release the tourniquet. 5. Properly handle the blood specimen as required."

Gu Qingling looked at Ying Lei and nodded, "She's correct."

Ying Lei nodded, looked at Li Xiang, his gaze gradually becoming stern, and asked, "You're a coach? What kind of coach?"

Li Xiang's mouth opened slightly, seeing Ying Lei's stern gaze, but the words stuck in his throat.

His eyes began to dart around, and after a moment of silence, he gave a wry smile, "I lied. I'm not a coach at all. I'm a small-time thug."

"Being a thug isn't glorious, and if I told you, you'd definitely think I'm scum."

"That's why I lied...."

"I was bullied since I was little, so I understand one thing: to avoid being bullied, you have to pretend."

"Pretend to be really awesome, that way others will be afraid of me."

"And usually, I just teach those young punks who bully old people in the old street a lesson..... Because my grandpa raised me, I can't stand seeing old people being bullied."

"Sometimes I even keep company with empty-nest elderly people and donate money to them...."

"I was just forced to become a small-time thug..."

Li Xiang could sense the increasingly hostile gazes around him, and his words began to become incoherent.

However, everyone's gaze towards Li Xiang remained hostile, even with a hint of murderous intent.

Clearly, none of them believed Li Xiang's words.

Ying Lei rubbed his chin, pondered for a second, then said, "I don't quite believe your words, so you're pending. Let's see how many people lied this time."

After speaking, Ying Lei looked at Bao Ning, his brows slightly furrowed. He suddenly realized that Bao Ning hadn't mentioned her profession, only the process of being kidnapped, which didn't leave much to ask!

Just then, Gu Qingling asked, "You said your children are waiting for you at home. How many children do you have?"

Bao Ning pursed her lips, looking very nervous, "I have three children at home, two boys and one girl."

Gu Qingling asked again, "How old are they?"

Bao Ning thought for a moment, "The oldest is 8, the second is 6, and the youngest girl is 3."

Gu Qingling frowned slightly, feeling that something was off, something she couldn't quite put her finger on, and asked again, "What do you usually do at home?"

Bao Ning frowned and scolded impatiently, "Why are you asking me so many questions?!"

Gu Qingling said indifferently, "You can also ask me many questions later."

Bao Ning was momentarily speechless. She was about to refuse, but saw everyone looking at her, so she could only answer sullenly, "What else can I do at home? Watch the kids, take care of them, do laundry and cook!"

Gu Qingling's frown deepened. She still felt something was off, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was.

Bao Ning's face drooped, "Are you a scum trying to stall for time?"

In an instant, everyone's gaze fell on Gu Qingling.

Gu Qingling took a deep breath, "You can ask me any questions you want."

Ying Lei spread his hands, "I don't understand business management. Does anyone here?"

Wang Lei raised his hand and smiled slightly, "Coincidentally, I know a little. I'll ask a basic question."

"What is ERP? And what is CRM?"

Gu Qingling pouted, "Is it that simple of a question?"

"ERP is Enterprise Resource Planning, and CRM is Customer Relationship Management."

Wang Lei snapped his fingers, "Bingo, that's correct!"

Ying Lei turned around, looked at Yang Feng, and grinned, "Brother, our second round of speaking is over."
