I was dressed as a vicious daughter, and the villain eavesdropped on my thoughts.

Jin Yan flashed and closed the distance between him and the black shadow in an instant. He disappeared from everyone's sight in a few steps. When he reappeared, he had firmly grasped a struggling black cat in his hands. A hint of helplessness appeared on his face. "It's a wild cat."

Lu Anan stepped forward lightly, her eyes carefully passing over the struggling figure of the black cat, and finally fixed on its neck. As the black cat struggled violently, a black rope quietly passed through her sight. She stepped forward to take the black cat and slowly pulled out a slightly worn thin rope from the black cat's neck, "This may not be a wild cat. Look, there is still a rope around its neck."

A barely perceptible solemnity flashed across Fu Zhiyan's eyes, "Is this being kept here by someone?"

Lu Anan pondered for a while and shook his head, "It's not clear yet, let's go and see first."

Everyone slowly walked into the old house of the Fu family. The bluestone path under their feet seemed to silently tell the past glory and the vicissitudes of time.

Lu Anan's eyes swept across the desolate scene in front of her, and ripples appeared in her heart. She asked softly: "Mr. Fu, have you never returned to the old house since then?"

Fu Zhiyan's expression was gentle, and he said softly: "An An, just call me by my name. My grandmother and your grandmother used to have a deep friendship, like sisters. Later, for some reason, they had a quarrel and a rift arose between them. As a result, our family moved away from here. After mother disappeared, although we occasionally returned, we were so anxious to find her that we naturally had no time to take care of the repair and maintenance of this house."

Lu Anan understood what was going on after hearing this.

[It seems that this is still the place where Grandma Fu is sad. Let’s find someone and leave quickly. Let me see where Madam Fu is first. ]

She stared at the location on the tracker screen, carefully distinguishing the direction, and lightly pointed to the quiet place behind the house with her fingertips, and asked softly, "Where is that?"

Fu Zhiyan looked over along his fingertips and replied, "That is the small garden my mother designed before."

Lu Anan nodded, "Then let's go over there, I'm quite curious."

She followed the location given by the tracker, step by step approaching the location of Mrs. Fu shown on it.

But when they walked around the garden, she saw no signs of anyone living there.

Lu Anan was a little confused.

[The map shows that this is the place? But after looking around, I didn't find any signs of anyone walking here? ]

Lu Anan walked forward again, with a growing confusion between her brows.

[The location shown on the tracker is where I am standing now, but there is nothing here except weeds and withered flowers. ]

She slowly bent down, lowered her head and carefully checked the position under her feet, and her eyes suddenly changed.

【Something is wrong here!】

She lightly used her toes to push away the dead branches and leaves under her feet, and her pupils shrank.

"There's a secret door here!"

Fu Zhiyan's heart skipped a beat. He quickly leaned over, picked up a thin branch from the side, and carefully pushed aside the debris around it. The secret door was completely revealed!

Fu Linzhou's eyes were full of disbelief, "Where did this secret door come from?"

After Fu Zhiyan opened the secret door, the dark passage below was revealed. A cold air mixed with an unknown smell blew in his face. His eyes instantly became deep and cold. Has his mother been down there for the past few years?

[Hey, Mrs. Fu's location has been updated? Do we have to walk so far through the passage? ]

Lu Anan's eyes flashed, and she pretended to be full of excitement and curiosity, "Shall we go down? It feels like an adventure, so cool!"

Jin Fangguo frowned slightly, his tone full of disapproval: "An An, don't go. Even Linzhou doesn't know about this place. It may be dangerous. Let the guys go."

Hearing this, Lu Anan looked at Jin Fangguo seriously and said, "Grandpa Jin, do you really think that if there are bad guys, I will be in danger?"

Jin Fangguo: ...

He remembered what he had seen on the cruise ship's surveillance camera before, Lu Anan's brave fight against the enemy on the resort island, and thought about it. If he really encountered a bad guy, it seemed that the bad guy might be more dangerous?

Recalling this, Jin Fangguo silently changed his words: "Then let's go together."

There was a glimmer of excitement in Lu Anan's eyes, and she was about to go down first, but was stopped firmly by Fu Zhiyan. He whispered, "Anan, I'll go down first." His words were full of care and concern for her.

Lu Anan thought about it, a hint of enlightenment flashed in his eyes, and he readily gave up his seat.

[Yes, after all, he was going to find his mother. As a son, he should indeed see his mother first.]

Fu Zhiyan listened to her inner thoughts with mixed feelings. His original intention was just to take the risk and protect her, but he didn't expect that this delicate feeling would be interpreted differently in her eyes. He looked at Lu Anan, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness and helplessness in his eyes. He shook his head gently and sighed. The little girl really didn't have any thoughts at all.

Seeing this, Lu Anan had a question mark on his face. (There should be a gif here.)

[Huh? Why did he sigh at me? Did I understand it wrong? ]

Lu Wenjing was trying hard to suppress his laughter. His sister hadn't figured it out yet, and this was good.

*

Everyone carefully held up flashlights and walked through the dark passage.

Jin Fangguo stared at the seemingly endless corridor ahead, frowning, "Linzhou, this secret passage is much longer than expected. Do you really know nothing about it?"

Fu Linzhou shook his head slightly, his face also full of puzzlement and confusion, "I really don't know anything. I remember that when I was planting flowers in the small garden with my wife, there didn't seem to be such a secret door."

Jin Yan's expression instantly became serious when he heard this, and a trace of severity flashed in his eyes that could not be ignored. "If someone dug this secret passage here after you moved away, then the matter would be serious."

Lu Anan nodded secretly.

[Isn't it serious? Madam Fu was caught here right under their noses. This is simply outrageous.]

Lu Yanli looked at the secret passage and thought to himself, the person who kidnapped Madam Fu could think of digging a secret passage in the old site of the Fu family's old house to take Madam Fu away. This person must have been very thoughtful and must have planned it for a long time.

As the footsteps slowly moved forward, time seemed to be stretched out, and every passing second carried the weight of the unknown. Finally, Fu Zhiyan, who was walking in the front, saw a ray of light at the end.

There was a flash of alertness and caution in his eyes, and he whispered to the people behind him: "We are at the exit, everyone be careful."

Upon hearing this, everyone held their breath and walked more cautiously. After carefully coming out of the secret passage, what came into view was an antique and charming house. Everyone froze on the spot.

Lu Anan's mouth involuntarily opened into an "O" shape, wide enough to fit an egg.

[No, what is this for? Is this still modern? ]

The people who heard the inner voice had the same idea. This was also following the trend. What they were walking through was not a secret passage but a time tunnel. Did they all travel through time?

The air around seemed to freeze, and everyone's soul was deeply shocked by this sudden change and frozen in place.

Just then, a gentle but anxious female voice came from a distance.

"Yi Yi? Where have you been?"

Fu Linzhou's heart trembled violently. That voice, which was so familiar to his bones, was like a long-awaited rain after a long drought. It instantly awakened all his dormant senses. He could hardly control his body. He turned around slowly, trembling, and his deep eyes eagerly searched for the source of the voice.

When the haunted figure finally passed through the archway and slowly stepped into his sight, Fu Linzhou's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. All his rationality and calmness collapsed at this moment. His voice trembled slightly with excitement: "Xuxu, is that you?"
