Su Rou was stunned. "Brother wants to kill me? Why?"

Su Chi said, "Jiang threatened to kill herself and told him to trick you away. If you go, you might not be able to come back. The eldest brother is also a descendant of the Jiang family. He certainly won't kill you, but Jiang is also his mother."

Su Rou turned around, and the desire to go to the training ground instantly disappeared.

She asked the old man of the Jiang family to kick Jiang out, but she didn't expect that Jiang still had the nerve to go to her eldest brother.

She didn't kill Jiang because of her eldest brother. Now that she saw that Jiang dared to instigate her eldest brother to attack her, she could not let her live.

But how did Third Brother know about this?

Su Chi looked at her and said, "Are your injuries serious?"

Su Rou shook her head. "Everything has been taken care of. It's okay. Why didn't I see you, Third Brother, when I came back just now?"

Su Chi said, "When the boss went out, I was with him and overheard it."

Su Rou said, "I wanted to go out for dinner today, but I didn't know this would happen..."

Su Chi said, "Go back, the boss won't be back tonight."

Su Rou nodded, and the two of them just turned around and were about to go back to the yard when the dark night suddenly brightened up, and their shadows were reflected on the floor in front of them.

The two men noticed something was wrong and turned around to find that the bright orange-red flames illuminated half of the capital city.

Su Rou exclaimed, "It's from the direction of the restaurant! Something happened to my father."

Su Chi asked, "Dad hasn't come back yet?"

Su Rou said, "There are still many women imprisoned in the restaurant. My father went to investigate before they were found, but Yuan Wen should have arranged everything properly."

Su Chi stepped over the threshold and chopped off the carriage parked at the door with a knife. Without the restraint of the carriage, the horse could run faster.

Seeing this, Su Rou quickly jumped onto the horse and hugged Su Chi's waist tightly, "I'll go with you."

Su Chi grabbed her hand and said, "It's not safe to go back."

Su Rou shook her head. "There's a trap there. I've been there before. Take me with you. I can lead the way."

Su Chi hesitated for a moment, flicked the reins, and led her towards the restaurant.

Su Rou and Su Chi stopped far away from the restaurant, and as expected, there was indeed a fire.

Su Rou jumped out and dismounted, and the wound on her body was pulled, causing her pain.

Su Rou didn't dare show it. She stood up and continued walking forward with Su Chi.

The restaurant caught fire. At this time, the people had all fallen asleep. A group of soldiers were busy putting out the fire, but they did not see Su Wan.

Su Rou frowned, looking around anxiously for her father. Could he be inside?

Su Chi said, "Stay here and don't run around. I'll go in and take a look."

Before Su Rou could stop him, Su Chi had already rushed into the fire.

Su Rou looked at the blazing flame door in front of her, and decided to follow in, but the wood above could not withstand the high temperature.

With a "bang", it hit her directly in front of her.

The soldiers protected Su Rou and helped her up from the ground. She was still in shock. Just two steps away, she would have been crushed...

"Miss, don't worry. Perhaps General Su can find a place of refuge."

Su Rou's breathing became disordered, but her third brother had just rushed in! !

correct.

There is a secret room on the ground. Although she and Gong Yu only went to that secret room, the space below might be much larger than she thought.

Aren’t the whereabouts of those women who were originally in the cages also nowhere to be found?

Thinking of this, Su Rou suddenly cheered up.

Su Rou stood up and asked, "Has the owner of this restaurant come forward?"

The soldier shook his head. "This boss was originally Miss Yuan's uncle, but General Su sent people to look for him, but he couldn't find him."

Su Rou said, "Then find Yuan Wen first, and then settle the score with the Yuan family later."

The flames gradually died down until dawn.

Yuan Wen comforted Su Rou, "The space down there is really huge. The fire can't burn through. It's okay. General Su, good fortune will come to you."

Su Rou remained silent. She noticed a problem when she fell in. The passage below was basically very narrow.

My father is kind-hearted and fat, so he may not be able to get in...

Now she could only pin her hopes on the situation inside. As long as her third brother and father were not found there, they would be safe.

Su Rou stood up and suddenly looked at Yuan Wen, "Where is your uncle?"

Yuan Wen was suddenly asked, and said awkwardly, "Uncle...we didn't find him...he didn't return to his residence..."

Su Rou frowned, "Why did this fire start?"

Yuan Wen shook his head. "I don't know. If you think someone did it on purpose, the Yuan family can be investigated at any time. If the murderer is found, you can also hand him over to you for disposal."

Su Rou turned her face away. Yuan Wen's words were too sincere. If she continued to ask, she would just be being aggressive.

Su Rou ordered the soldiers to go in and search. The fire broke out in the middle of the night. This restaurant had been closed for a long time because she had an accident here during the day and was surrounded by her father.

There was no body inside, it was a burnt mess, and the wooden planks underfoot were burned away.

Su Rou had a white cloth on her face, covering her nose and mouth, and she walked on the ground carefully.

After a fruitless search, Su Rou sat on the street in despair.

There was a big fire here, and the air was filled with a burnt smell.

When people passed by here, they didn't dare to walk close to the restaurant.

Su Rou sighed. This fire was definitely not a simple accident.

Su Rou looked at Yuan Wen, "When you rescued me, we were in that secret room, right? Does this mean that there is another exit in that secret room?!"

Yuan Wen nodded. "The secret room is actually equipped with a mechanism that can only be opened from the outside. If someone falls from it, they can only wait for others to come and rescue them."

Su Rou ordered the soldier, "I'll find you a clean mask and take me to that exit."

Su Rou looked at the floor below her feet and said, "It's empty down there, right? There's a huge space. That's where I saw those imprisoned women before I fell."

Yuan Wen said, "It should be. I remember there is a mechanism that can be opened. I'll go look for it. There is a secret room right below, but it's too high. If you want to get to the exit of the secret room, there is a special passage."

Yuan Wen grabbed the candlestick in the corner, but no matter how he turned it, it was useless.

It seems that the fire has disabled the mechanism here.

Yuan Wen was puzzled, "Huh? Weird, why can't it be opened?"

Su Rou took a step back and said, "Forget it. Since this place is right next to the secret room, let's go down from here."

She grabbed the candlestick that had fallen in the corner and hit the ground with it, creating a big hole in the floor.

The floor was very brittle after being burned, and small fragments flew everywhere. Su Rou stopped only after she was sure that the big hole in front of her could accommodate two people.

"Swoosh" an arrow shot out from the big hole, and Su Rou turned her head to avoid it.

There's someone down here!
