At 10:18 AM, the hall inside the villa became quiet again after the call with the twins ended.
For a few seconds no one spoke.
Everyone simply returned to whatever they had been doing before the phone call.
Some leaned back into the sofas again.
Some opened documents on their phones.
Some simply sat quietly.
Then Long Yichen suddenly looked at Suriya.
"Sis," he asked casually, "have you ever thought about changing your phone number?"
Suriya looked up from her phone.
She smiled calmly.
"No."
Immediately another voice joined.
Long Zhenyu leaned forward slightly.
"Sis… please change your number."
Then Long Zixuan spoke with a slight pout.
"Everyone keeps calling you."
His voice clearly sounded unhappy.
Now all ten of them were looking at her.
Their expressions slowly changed into the same familiar mood.
Sulking.
Jealous.
It had started the moment the government officer called Suriya earlier.
Normally these ten were not jealous people.
They were completely relaxed with each other.
But when it came to Suriya… it was different.
If someone else tried to get close to her, their mood changed instantly.
In fact, sometimes they even joked that they felt jealous of the plants inside their own house when she spent time caring for them.
Now all ten pairs of eyes were focused on her.
Suriya noticed their expressions and laughed softly.
"How about we discuss this tomorrow?"
None of them looked satisfied with that answer.
But before anyone could continue arguing,
Suriya's phone rang again.
At 10:21 AM, the phone vibrated in her hand.
She answered on the second ring.
"Yes?"
The voice on the other side spoke formally.
"Please come to the main gate at exactly 10:30 AM. We will escort you to the testing location."
"Alright," Suriya replied calmly.
The call ended.
Immediately Zixuan spoke again.
"Tomorrow we will make sure you change your number."
This time Suriya did not smile.
Her expression suddenly became serious.
A sharp protective look appeared in her eyes.
Her voice became calm but cold.
"It was your idea to let them follow us."
She looked at all ten of them.
"If they try to touch any of you…"
Her eyes hardened.
"I will kill them all instantly."
The room became completely silent.
None of the ten young men said anything.
Not a single word.
Because every one of them already knew something.
Suriya was not exaggerating.
If someone truly threatened them, she would eliminate the danger without hesitation.
And more importantly…
They knew they would never be able to stop her.
So there was nothing left to say.
The silence lasted for a moment.
Then someone finally stood up.
At 10:25 AM, Long Ruihan looked at the clock.
"It's time," he said calmly.
"Let's go to the gate."
Everyone stood up.
They walked quietly through the large hall toward the villa entrance.
At 10:30 AM, the massive villa gate slowly opened.
Outside, the security presence was overwhelming.
Multiple government vehicles waited near the entrance.
Armed officers stood around the area.
The eleven of them calmly walked out.
Each person entered a separate vehicle.
The convoy quickly left the villa.
At 11:10 AM, the vehicles arrived at the government testing facility.
They did not enter through the main public entrance.
Instead, they were taken through a private security route.
Within minutes they were guided inside the building.
At 11:15 AM, the group was brought into a large waiting room.
An officer stood near the door.
"Please stay here until the test begins," he said politely.
"If you need anything, ask us."
Then he left the room.
Now only the eleven of them remained inside.
They sat comfortably on the sofas and chairs around the room.
Almost immediately they all took out their phones again.
Each of them quietly returned to their work.
Some checked business documents.
Some replied to messages.
Their behavior was completely normal.
But they were not alone.
In another part of the building, a large government meeting room was filled with officers watching multiple screens.
The waiting room cameras were transmitting everything live.
Hundreds of officers were observing them.
Some watched their facial expressions.
Some studied their body language.
Others even zoomed in on their phone screens to see what they were doing.
But what they saw confused them.
The ten actors were simply reviewing work related to the entertainment industry.
Contracts.
Scripts.
Schedules.
Meanwhile, Suriya was working on clothing designs for men.
She opened several fashion designs on her phone.
She examined each one carefully.
Then she began modifying a few designs herself.
The room remained completely quiet.
Ten minutes passed.
Finally one officer spoke softly.
"Compared to us… they are too calm."
Another officer nodded.
The atmosphere in the observation room slowly relaxed.
"Did anyone find anything suspicious?" a senior officer asked.
A few younger officers raised their hands.
The senior officers immediately looked at them with interest.
Because none of them had noticed anything unusual.
The superior officer spoke.
"Come forward and explain."
The young officers walked to the front nervously.
The superior himself was curious.
He had been watching carefully, but even he could not find anything suspicious.
One young female officer began speaking.
"Sis… I mean…"
Suddenly another young officer gently touched her arm.
The first girl stopped speaking and looked at her in confusion.
The superior noticed the interruption.
"What is happening?"
The second girl quickly spoke.
"I'm sorry, sir."
She turned to the first girl apologetically.
Then she explained.
"Those ten actors call her 'sis.'"
"And she calls them 'brothers.'"
The superior waited for her to continue.
The girl looked slightly embarrassed.
"We fans also call those actors 'brothers.'"
"So their fans are like their younger brothers and sisters."
"Which means… we also call her 'sister.'"
She lowered her head slightly.
"When she said 'sis,' I stopped her so she could correct it before speaking in the meeting."
She bowed slightly.
"I'm sorry, sir."
The superior looked around the room.
Then he asked one simple question.
"In this room… how many of you are fans of those actors?"
Almost every officer slowly raised their hand.
The superior did not say anything.
Because he raised his own hand too.
Then he turned to the first young officer and spoke gently.
"You can explain comfortably."
"Speak in your own way."
