After my soul traveled through time and space, I became the male protagonist Bai Yueguang
Chapter 153 Cai Family
Duan Lu Chong cried out hoarsely. He would rather die than surrender when being tortured. Their plan was about to be completed, and they couldn't make any mistakes at this time. "Don't tell them, Dai Ying. If you don't tell them, they will be killed!"
The glasses fell on the carpet, stained with blood which had solidified and turned a deep red.
Mu Daiying moved her lips, wanting to say something but stopping herself, her thoughts seemed to be facing an unprecedented struggle.
"Heh." Mu Yanchen, who had been watching coldly, finally let out a very sarcastic laugh. It was very light, but it was enough to make everyone present tense.
They slowly turned their gaze to the figure that had lost its presence since Ji Zhengxuan came in and tortured Duan Luchong.
Mu Yanchen looked at Duan Luchong coldly, "Do you think we have no way to make her speak if she doesn't want to? I just chose a simple method. Although she is my second sister, I have never thought of showing mercy to her. After all, you have never shown mercy to my lover either."
Duan Lu Chong's heart began to panic at this time. He didn't have the same feeling when he saw Ji Zhengxuan stabbing him with a sharp knife.
It was like dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky, rolling towards him. If all the crimes they had committed before were only inflicted on Mu Yanchen, whether it was poison or injury, that person might have left them a way out. But now, it was all over.
Duan Luchong raised his head with difficulty, and peeked through his eyelashes wet with sweat and blood into those cold and dark eyes, like black holes. Those eyes were just looking at him quietly at this moment, and he was sure that Mu Yanchen knew everything.
If that person's death did not kill him instantly, it would become a powerful remedy for his revenge, and he would not stop until they were all killed.
The man then slowly said, "Since you advised her not to say it, then you can do whatever you want."
The man in black stepped forward and broke Mu Daying's hand bones as Duan Luchong shouted. She screamed and her hair fell in disarray, covering her pretty face. At this time, sweat on her forehead wet the scattered hair, and clumps of it stuck to her forehead.
She crawled down and knelt on the ground, her wrists broken at a twisted angle. She just raised her hands but someone stepped on her again and she fell heavily to the ground, her expression becoming even more painful and distorted.
But Mu Yanchen wanted not only this effect, he wanted her to stay awake while she was in pain.
The man in black came forward and gave Mu Daying an injection. She clearly felt the pain over and over again.
"I said!"
Finally, Duan Lu Chong couldn't bear to see Mu Daying suffer such torture. Even though there were several bloody holes on his body, he still kept his rationality and explained the mystery of the picture word by word.
He gave up. Now he thought that the person they should least touch was Sheng Baiyi, the woman who had no grudge against them.
The door is located in a basement of the Cai family. The Cai family has continued from ancient times to the present day, and there is a secret passage leading to the temple where they worship their ancestors. Firefly flowers grow inside the temple, never seeing sunlight all year round. Their cultivation depends entirely on the blood of the Cai family. However, as the Cai family gradually declined, the nutrients in the blood were no longer sufficient for the fireflies to grow normally, so their ancestors made the remaining firefly flowers into medicinal powder and sealed it in the temple. Only in the temple can the powder of fireflies be preserved intact.
The ancestor worship activities had long been out of fashion, and as firefly flowers were such an important medicine, the Cai family decided to close the passage leading to the temple, where the door was located.
The key is the pattern on Mu Daying's body, which is the pattern inherited by every generation of daughters.
After Duan Lu Chong told those secrets, he became dejected. There was no light in his eyes anymore, because even his last hope was ruthlessly extinguished.
Now that he knew where Yinghua was, Shen Zhao no longer hesitated and rushed there immediately with Mu Yanchen and Situ Rui.
The Cai family’s secret passage was built several floors underground. Although the family’s power is not as strong as it was yesterday, it still has some strength left, and not everyone can enter.
When we arrived at the Cai family's gate, we were overwhelmed by a feeling of desolation. The house had all the grandeur that a large family should have, but it had not been repaired for many years and looked run-down, which was out of place for a noble family.
Not only was the garden full of weeds, but even the walls of the house were covered with vines. During the day, it might have the charm of an ancient building, but at night it felt particularly eerie. There was only a flickering oil lamp hanging on the wall next to the gate.
"Has it declined to this extent?" Shen Zhao couldn't help but ask.
This was also Situ Rui's first time at the Cai family, and he told them everything he knew. "I heard that the Cai family went bankrupt a long time ago, and many properties were stopped from being auctioned due to unclear and complicated property rights. They were all put on hold, and only surrounded by some yellow cordons. But for some homeless people, this is undoubtedly a holy place, a good place to settle down."
"What about the Cai family members?"
"In that bankruptcy crisis, someone had to bear everything. Some died, some went into exile, and many who still had some assets moved abroad." Mu Yanchen said calmly. These were the information he needed to know as a superior.
"But from what Duan Lu Chong said, Yinghua must be very important to the Cai family. Why don't they keep her here?"
Mu Yanchen looked towards the dilapidated house and said, "Maybe there is, but it has not appeared yet."
The man in black was waiting in the yard. Shen Zhao and others pushed open the door of the house, and a musty smell hit them. Situ Rui tried to find the switch on the wall, but when he pressed it repeatedly, the whole house did not respond.
The light won't turn on.
Fortunately, the equipment had been prepared long ago. Situ Rui turned on the lights. The house was large, but empty inside. All the valuables had been moved away, leaving only some gold-painted handrails, which were covered with scratches, revealing the original metal color inside.
"It really was completely looted..." Shen Zhao was also shocked when he saw this scene. After all, that was a noble family that had been passed down from ancient times to the present day. It should have had some foundation.
Mu Yanchen seemed to understand her confusion and patiently explained, "Indeed, but what if the incident broke out from within them and was then divided up by the other major families?"
They walked towards the underground, marking each door they passed to ensure they did not repeat the same route.
Shen Zhao's eyes flickered. Isn't this what the Mu family is experiencing now? Then what role did Yinghua play when she was in the Cai family? Now she is used again on the Mu family and has far-reaching consequences.
"Cai Ninglian probably wants to imitate what happened back then, and then eat up and divide up the Mu family, so that the Cai family can live again. This should be the greatest reward she can give after getting the Firefly Flower."
The three of them opened all the doors on the first floor, but could not find the passage leading to the underground.
Shen Zhao frowned, she looked around and said to Mu Yanchen, "This house is strange. If the Cai family can quietly open a secret passage to the Mu house, then I guess the Cai family is even more amazing. There must be a mechanism leading to the underground. I'm afraid we don't have enough time to search for it with only the three of us. If we can ask Duan Lu Chong directly, it will definitely be more effective!"
Mu Yanchen nodded, "I understand."
