The wind outside the window made the leaves rustle, adding a bit of mystery to the quiet and empty fields.

When Shen Zhao heard his words, the shock in his eyes could not be concealed.

Duan Lu Chong did notice her expression and smiled faintly, unlike the fake smile he had at the banquet. He seemed to be a lot more relaxed at this moment.

This place should be where he belongs.

Shen Zhao's mind was in a mess, but she quickly connected all the relevant clues together, including those ambiguous statements.

If Duan Lu Chong had been following Mu Guichao all the time, but he told her that he was not his man, then according to her inference, the person behind him must have hated the Mu family to death, and only targeted those men, and the woman did not say a word.

Either they are enemies, or they are women who have been toyed with by the men of the Mu family...

If she remembered correctly, no one in the Mu family played with pedophiles.

But if it were these people, could they really find the winding secret passages in the Mu residence?

And it's so familiar, like home...

She still remembered the scene before she fainted. Although she couldn't see the person who knocked her out, she was very clear that the wall facing the glass in the bathroom where she was could rotate.

Thinking about it this way, Shen Zhao realized that it was an endless swamp. If you try to dig deeper into what is inside, you will only sink deeper and deeper, and the truth seems to be somewhere with no end.

and many more……

Like home, yes! It is like home, right? Who can explore this house so clearly? Apart from the craftsman who designed this house, the only people left are probably the people who live in it!

The more Shen Zhao thought about it, the more she felt that the scope was shrinking, and she needed to test Duan Lu Chong's attitude.

Shen Zhao saw that Duan Lu Chong had no intention of hurting her. He was standing next to the old wardrobe, with his hair falling down to cover his smooth forehead. The look in his eyes was unclear, but Shen Zhao felt that he was not looking at her, his gaze just happened to be at this position.

She gradually relaxed and pursed her lips, "Can you tell me why you brought me here?"

Duan Luchong's face moved slightly, and Shen Zhao could feel his gaze focused on her. It didn't look like he was looking at prey or a person. He looked at her as if she were an object, without any warmth.

She could feel the chill slowly rising up her spine. He looked at her as if she were a dead object.

But he still laughed, not the kind of loud and happy laugh. He was very restrained, but people could still sense the subtle joy in his body.

Creepy panic!

"You want to know?"

"Can't you?"

"It's not impossible, but it's meaningless."

"You're going to use me to deal with Mu Yanchen?"

"I thought about it at first, but I also want to explore why Mu Yanchen stood up? Didn't he have an illness?" He knocked on the counter and pursed his lips, as if thinking, "I remember that he almost went to see his lover half a year ago, but unfortunately, he didn't die in the end."

"Do you wish him dead so much?"

"It's not me, it's that person. In fact, Mu Yanchen is just a byproduct. She just happened to be included in it."

"Then what's the point of arresting me?"

"Let me start with the introduction. It's incredible that Mu Yanchen could disrupt this situation and stand up. Tell me about it."

Duan Luchong left the wardrobe. He walked towards Shen Zhao, paced to her bed, and pulled over an old wooden stool with one hand. The stool was covered with mottled marks, as if it had been exposed to the sun and rain for a long time.

His movements were very graceful, but after he sat down, the stool inevitably made a discordant sound, as if it was overloaded and was about to fall over.

But Duan Luchong was still sitting well.

He stared at Shen Zhao with great interest. Only then could Shen Zhao see a hint of interest in his eyes. She had finally become a living thing, not a soulless ornament.

She moved her lower lip, "What?"

"You've been with him for a while. I found out recently that he's been hiding you very well..."

"so?"

"You must have seen him when he was ill."

Shen Zhao spoke in a firm tone. She was not a battle-hardened person. Her actual age was only in her twenties, and her expression revealed it in front of Duan Lu Chong.

"You did see it. How was it? Was it scary? What were you doing at the time? Why were you willing to stay by his side?"

Shen Zhao did not answer, she turned to ask, "What about you? Why do you stay by her side? Revenge? Whose?"

Duan Luchong pulled the corners of his mouth, his eyes still full of joy, but they quickly turned cold, "I'm asking you questions, not asking you to ask me!"

Shen Zhao could feel the atmosphere changing in an instant, and he seemed a little angry.

"It's terrible. What will happen next? What can I do as a student? You know the power of the Mu family. Where can I escape to?"

Shen Zhao couldn't fight back head-on, so he had to give in and find another way out.

"But you don't look reluctant at all."

Duan Luchong is very good at judging people. He has been with Mu Guichao for a long time and has met all kinds of people. This kind of eyesight is something he has developed over the years.

"Then what can I do? Can I still make him recover from his illness?"

Duan Luchong seemed to find the conversation boring, so he stood up and the chair quickly fell to the ground, its final mission seemingly completed.

He turned his back and said, "Indeed."

According to his investigation results, although Shen Zhao's performance has improved by leaps and bounds, it is not impossible. On the contrary, her rough past makes people believe that she is just an ordinary girl. She may have suddenly become enlightened, but it is not enough to prove anything.

Those medical experiences were not something an ordinary girl could acquire, even though she enrolled in a local medical school.

But the poison in the body of the Mu family man was not a simple poison. He could guarantee that there were no more than five people in the world who could research the antidote, and one of the people who was closest had been killed by him. The others either retired or died. The rest could only explore the boundary. Going further was not a field they could easily enter. That was an honor that could only be given to extremely talented people.

How could a girl who just entered college and was an orphan have such ability? He didn't believe it even if she told him. He always felt that she was doing something unnecessary.

Girls like this can be easily dealt with.

"Since I am useless, can you trap me until you have completed your revenge, and then leave me a way to live?"

"You are such a coward! Your sponsor might die tonight. Aren't you worried at all?"

Shen Zhao was so nervous that her heart seemed to be about to jump out of her chest, but she still had to smile, and she had to smile even sweeter. "Of course, I am really depressed next to him. I have never seen a more paranoid person than him, and he doesn't love me at all. He just treats me as a substitute."

Shen Zhao used those few words from the past as weapons. Even though her heart ached when she said them, she still had to break the current dilemma first.
