The tunnel looked a little narrow, and it didn't go straight to one side, but downward, diagonally downward, and it seemed that there was a huge basement underneath.

It's just that there's something in the basement, and I can't make out yet, all I can see is the steps of some stairs, and a faint yellow glow coming from below.

At the same time, there was a faint smell coming from below, very strange, not the smell of mold, nor the stench or any other unpleasant smell, but a faint fragrance.

It's as if there's a garden underneath.

It's just that such a downward secret passage appears in such an environment, and it seems that if you think about it with your toes, you should know that this is not a garden, and it is more likely that this is actually the address of a mad scientist as depicted in the horror movie.

There are a lot of crazy experiments done by mad scientists, and there may even be Frankenstein underneath this.

Zhou Ye shook his head, only feeling that these things were too absurd.

But since they have all seen it, if they don't go in and take a look, it's not Zhou Ye's style.

Zhou Ye made up his mind to go down to find out, but as soon as he bent down and walked in, he heard Chen Qingxue's voice from behind.

"Zhou Ye? Zhou Ye!"

Zhou Ye turned around, "What's wrong?"

Seeing that Chen Qingxue had already walked in, her face was a little panicked, and she didn't know if she was frightened by these specimens, or if something really happened.

"What are you doing?" Chen Qingxue came to Zhou Ye and also discovered the small secret passage in front of her.

"There's a secret passage here." Zhou Ye explained, "I accidentally triggered it and wanted to go in and have a look."

Chen Qingxue twisted her eyebrows and looked into the dark passage, "This ...... How can there be a secret passage here?"

She seemed to be surprised, although she was the owner of this place before, but this specimen room was eerie and terrifying, she really didn't come here often, or maybe this was the most deserted place in the entire research institute at all, and no one usually came here at all.

The only person who was here regularly was the old man from the institute with a strange personality, who often came to the herbarium to clean up.

Could it be him?

The image of a short old man who was always bent over appeared in Chen Qingxue's head for a moment.

"What? Do you know what's going on?" Zhou Ye asked.

Chen Qingxue shook her head, "I don't know, but ...... I know a person probably does."

"Now go in and have a look?" Zhou Ye was very curious.

Chen Qingxue forcibly suppressed the curiosity in her heart, shook her head and said, "Let's go out first, the city lord is about to arrive."

"The lord of the castle will arrive when he arrives." Zhou Ye smiled dumbly, "Let him wait outside now."

Chen Qingxue glanced at Zhou Ye fiercely, "What are you talking about? The person is the city lord, and you let the city lord wait for you? Why is it so big!"

After speaking, Chen Qingxue felt that her words were a little too heavy, and she hurriedly said, "Although the city lord also participated in the wedding of the two of us at the beginning, it was for the sake of the faces of the three sides."

"And you've forgotten what happened at the wedding?"

Chen Qingxue still feels a little apprehensive when she mentions it.

He knew that the wedding was very beautiful at that time, and it also made her raise her eyebrows at that time, but all kinds of signs showed that Zhou Ye should have planned it at that time and made a little fake.

Chen Qingxue is now worried that the city lord will have a bad impression of them because of this, so what should he do?

Moreover, during this period of time, the Chen family had accidents one after another, and even the disciples of the Chen family in Jiangcheng, a big family, died in this Tianhe City, presumably this matter was also very stressful for the city lord.

I just don't know if the city lord will blame them for this pressure.

So Chen Qingxue is a little nervous now, as for this secret way or something, let's wait and see it later.

Chen Qingxue almost pulled Zhou Ye out of the herbarium and came to the hall again.

"Lord Castle Lord, it's almost coming, let's go out and pick it up." Chen Qingxue tidied up her clothes.

Yafei hadn't come back at this time, and she didn't know what to look at in the institute.

But Ah Qiang stood at the door, blocking Chen Wenbin and preventing him from going out.

Seeing Zhou Ye and Chen Qingxue coming out, Chen Wenbin immediately scolded angrily, "Hurry up and let this stupid big guy get out of the way!"

Chen Wenbin was holding back the fire in his belly, he didn't plan to go out, but when the city lord Chu Wenbo arrived, he wanted to go out and pick it up.

In fact, according to his previous character, he must have been lying here waiting for Chu Wenbo to come to the door, but isn't it a little unexpected now?

He thought it would be better to be safe, and if he went out to greet him, it would be enough to save face.

After all, the city lord of a small Tianhe City, where can he greet him personally?

If he really did this, it would be to be down to greet him and give him enough face.

Chen Wenbin thought that if he did this, then you, a little city lord, didn't you want to be grateful to me?

But Chen Wenbin played a good abacus, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even go out of the door, let alone run out to greet him.

Ah Qiang is like a hill, standing directly at the door and blocking the road directly.

He was so angry that he yelled, but it was still to no avail

After all, it is not a joke that such a large muscle on Ah Qiang's body, and he also knows Ah Qiang's ability.

Forget about scolding, he would never dare to go straight over.

He felt that Ah Qiang's head was not good, and if he was tougher, Ah Qiang might really not care about his identity as the heirloom of the Chen family at all, and directly beat him to death.

If you are beaten to death by such a fool, who will reason with you?

There is no reason.

Fortunately, now that Zhou Ye and Chen Qingxue are also back, Chen Wenbin at least knows that these two people can communicate, unlike Ah Qiang, a stupid big man who can't understand people's words.

"The city lord has come to the door, and you are now blocking me from seeing it, what do you want to do!?"

Chen Wenbin yelled at Zhou Ye and Chen Qingxue, "Are you still worried that I ran away? Make no mistake! Is it time for me to run? Do you have to worry about whether you'll be able to run away?"

Chen Qingxue was a little flustered in a few words, but she didn't show it.

After all, she also knows that it is useless to bow her head at this time, she has already offended people to death, will people forgive you again if you kowtow in the past at this time?

Impossible.

But Chen Qingxue still waved her hand at Ah Qiang, "Let it go."

Anyway, sooner or later, he will have to meet with the city lord, and it doesn't make sense to let him go.

Ah Qiang stood to the side with a sneer, and Chen Wenbin sneered and walked forward.

Before he had walked a few steps, he heard Chen Wenbin shouting, "City Lord, you are far away! It's a long way off!"
