Chapter Twenty-Six: The Secret Passage to Escape

The girl was none other than Ji Luoling, whom Li Chuan met by chance on the train that day.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door: "Second Miss, someone has broken into the house, please open the door." ”

"Quick, you hide quickly......" Ji Luoling thought of the momentum downstairs, and naturally guessed that Li Chuan was the one who broke into the mansion, and hurriedly reminded in a whisper.

Li Chuan stood by the window and looked around, the bottom of the bed was solid, and the wardrobe was full......

"Second Miss, Second Miss? If you don't open the door yet, we'll come in. The people outside the door didn't respond, thinking that something had happened, and they were obviously ready to break in.

Ji Luoling was in a hurry, pulled up the thin blanket on the bed and draped it on his body, rushed to the side of the bed and said, "Hide in." Then Li Chuan was included in the hem of the thin blanket, and the curtain next to it was pulled to cover up.

"Bang ......"

"Wait......"

Almost at the same time as Ji Luoling responded, the door was vigorously slammed open, and the two strong men saw Ji Luoling wearing pajamas, standing alone by the window and looking out. The furnishings in the room are simple and orderly, and you can see through it at a glance, which obviously cannot hide people.

One of them bowed down and said, "I'm sorry, Second Miss, we were worried that you would be held hostage by gangsters, so we broke into the door rashly." ”

"It's okay, I just saw a dark shadow burrowing into the woods to the south, and I was frightened for a moment, so I didn't have time to respond to you." Ji Luoling's demeanor was calm, and there was a person hiding behind him, but he didn't show the slightest flaw.

"Then the second young lady be careful, if there is anything, remember to call us." With that, the two strong men withdrew. After all, Ji Luoling was the second lady of the Ji family, and without Mrs. Qin's direct order, they wouldn't dare to be too presumptuous.

After the footsteps of the two people disappeared, Ji Luoling breathed a sigh of relief, but then remembered that Li Chuan was still behind him, and said, "Are you still planning to squat here?" ”

"Hehe, if you don't mind, I'm really going to sit a little longer. was locked and lay down for a whole afternoon, with a sore back and ...... "In fact, there is still half a sentence that Li Chuan didn't say, Ji Luoling is wearing slender silk pajamas at the moment, and his exposed thighs are smooth and delicate, and they can be broken by blowing. and the looming buttocks on Li Chuan's chest, if any normal man is replaced, I am afraid he will choose how long he can squat.

It's a pity that Ji Luoling didn't give him this opportunity. She put away the thin blanket, walked to the chair in front of the dresser and sat down, stared straight at Li Chuan with her eyes, and asked, "How did you come here?" ”

Li Chuan didn't answer directly, but asked: "They call you Second Miss, so that sixty or seventy-year-old woman is the grandmother you said last time?" ”

"Have you seen her?" Ji Luoling's body was obviously shocked.

"Not only have I seen it, I was captured by her, locked under the secret room and didn't escape until just now." Li Chuan suddenly thought of the girl in the glass container of the No. 1 secret room, and asked again: "It seems that in the glass container of the No. 1 secret room, the girl who looks very similar to you should be your sister?" ”

At the mention of his sister, Ji Luoling's eyes instantly reddened, and it seemed that tears would well up at any time: "That's right, we are twins." My sister was born half an hour before me, but she ...... now Now I can only stay in that horrible place...... You can help me, get my sister out, I can give you anything......"

The more Ji Luoling spoke, the more excited she became, and finally she couldn't cry, it seems that she has worked hard all these years, but unfortunately in the end it was all in vain.

Li Chuan didn't agree to her right away, if it was changed to noon, he would think that Mrs. Qin was just the ancestor of a wealthy family, but what he saw in front of him now seemed to be far beyond his acceptance. How could an ordinary rich man raise dozens of guards and build a secret room like that. What's even more strange is that it is her heir who is locked in the secret room!

Seeing Li Chuan's flickering gaze, Ji Luoling thought that he was going to shirk again, so he had to grit his teeth and said decisively: "Now that the entire Ji Mansion has been alarmed, with that old woman's ability, I believe it is only a matter of time before I find you." If you promise to help me, I'll take you out right away! That's a fair deal, right? ”

"Can you sneak out?" At this time, Li Chuan had already noticed that the guards chasing Huzi were coming back one after another, and obviously they also found that they should not have gone far. If nothing else, they'll soon be conducting a carpet search of the mansion!

"Of course, if this is not the case, then how did I escape outside and ask for help the first two times."

"Okay, but I need a little more time to prepare. When the time comes, I will surely rescue your sister. In fact, Li Chuan's heart is not bottomless, judging from the current situation, this old lady Qin's power is really not small. If you want to forcibly save people, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it alone.

"I believe in you. Without further ado, come with me, I stumbled upon a secret passage in the storage room on the first floor. ”

……

……

Just when the courtyard outside was noisy and busy, the two had quietly gone down to the second floor. Under the cover of Ji Luoling, it didn't take much effort for them to come to a storage room that was almost abandoned.

Although the storage room was dimly lit, Li Chuan could still make out most of the objects. It seems that the Ji family must be a big family in modern times, aside from the well-preserved ancient mansion, just looking at this storage room that can almost be compared to a small collection hall, its heritage can be seen.

In the large storage room, piles of ancient calligraphy and paintings are scattered everywhere, plus those unique style of wood carvings, exquisite porcelain, and priceless jewelry...... Everything you need.

If you sort it out and put these things out for auction, it is estimated that they will be worth hundreds of millions.

However, everything was covered in a thick layer of dust. This is the mark of the times, and it seems that no one has come in and taken care of it for a long time.

In the storage room, Ji Luoling also quietly talked about the past of the Ji family, as well as the origin of her ruthless grandmother, Mrs. Qin......

At that time, the combination of the Ji family and the Qin family could be described as a boom and sensation.

After the strong alliance, the Ji family is also ranked among the local forces in the entire south, ranking among the eight major families. It's a pity that the prosperity is bound to decline, and none of the major families can safely avoid the next series of disasters.

After the heavy losses of the Opium War, the Republic of China Revolution and the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Ji family not only suffered a huge consumption of financial resources, but also lost a lot of people in the war and gradually returned to mediocrity......

It was not easy to survive until the founding of New China, and the spring breeze of reform and opening up blew all over the south, and the Ji family suffered from a thin number of people and never grasped the opportunity to make a comeback. It wasn't until Master Ji returned from studying abroad that he struggled for most of his life, and finally regained his foothold in Nandu, and both black and white had to sell a little affection.

It's just that after Master Ji returned, the descendants not only failed to keep the foundation, but were taken away by Fang Tianhong, who appeared in the sky, robbed almost half of the territory of the underground world of Nandu, and confirmed Fang Tianhong's reputation as the lord of half of the city.

What's even more unfortunate is that the eldest Ji Youliang died of illness at the age of 40, leaving no heirs. And the second Ji Youchang only gave birth to a pair of twin daughters.

The Ji family is about to face a situation where there is no successor......

Twenty years ago, when Ji Youchang's wife was about to give birth, Fang Tianhong suddenly led people to attack the Ji family's mansion, intending to kill Ji Youchang's children. Unexpectedly, the Ji family got a secret report in advance, and Mrs. Qin also settled in the Ji family at that time and took over the defense of the Ji family with a decisive and heroic attitude.

In the end, Fang Tianhong threw down dozens of brothers' corpses in vain, but Ji Youchang's wife died of childbirth because of fright. Originally, after the current crisis passed, Mrs. Qin should return the Ji family's defense forces to Ji Youchang, after all, Ji Youchang is the master of the Ji family's generation.

What people didn't expect was that Mrs. Qin claimed to be Ji Youchang's mother-in-law, and took this opportunity to take root in the Ji family. She was scheming and scheming, and she wanted to control Ji Youchang, who was only in her twenties at the time, and Ji Youchang, who had recently lost his wife, was naturally easy to capture.

However, the heirs of the Ji family are not fools. They gradually understood that Mrs. Qin wanted to completely control the Ji family, and then use the resources and strength of the Ji family to make the Qin family regain the momentum of the past!

……

……

Ji Luoling said as he walked, and had already taken Li Chuan to the corner of the storage room. After making sure there was no movement around her, she gently hooked her toes, only to see a piece of the floor under her feet quietly turn up, revealing a small hole that only allowed one person to pass.

"This is the secret passage I stumbled upon, and the exit leads to the dirt slope north of the house, and there is a road under the dirt slope. Hurry up and go, too late will change. Ji Luoling said in a low voice.

Li Chuan looked at the dark entrance of the cave, and when he turned around, he saw that Ji Luoling had no intention of going down, so he asked suspiciously, "You don't plan to go out with me?" ”

"I can't go." The brilliance in Ji Luoling's eyes flashed, and he said with a gloomy expression: "The room I live in is just above the entrance of the laboratory, I want to keep an eye on them, lest they move my sister to another place." Hurry up and go, don't forget what you promised me! ”

"Well, I promise you, I'll be back soon."

After speaking, Li Chuan didn't delay any longer, turned around and got into the dark secret passage.

The secret passage was very narrow, with smooth walls on both sides, and Li Chuan's size could barely pass through. Thankfully, there were steps all the way down, and after about twenty steps, the downward trend began to slow down. It's just that it's still dark inside the secret passage, and Li Chuan can only hold on to the wall and slowly grope his way forward step by step.

Mobile phones, general copycat machines come with a flashlight function......

Li Chuan suddenly remembered the mobile phone in his trouser pocket, took it out and looked at it, and the screen showed twelve missed calls, all of which were calls from Su Hugo and Huangfu Xin. There are also three text messages:

"Brother Li, why don't you answer the phone? It's all off work, and we say we'll eat all the time. ”

"Brother Li, I'm still waiting for you in the company, where are you now? Team Leader Guo has been here for half an hour, if you don't show up, he wants me to go with him to accompany the customer to dinner, what should I do? ”

"Li Chuan, have you met those gangsters again? Do I need to call the police? ”

The last one was sent by Huang Fuxin, and it seems that everything is fine on her side.

With the faint light of the mobile phone screen, Li Chuan moved forward much faster. According to the straight-line distance estimate, it should be almost at the entrance of the cave, and hopefully nothing will go wrong.

Sure enough, he was afraid of something, Li Chuan turned off the screen of his mobile phone, and the secret passage fell into darkness again.

The sound of breathing?

Li Chuan was shocked in his heart, there was even the sound of a second person's breathing in the secret passage!
