The paper-made items are so realistic that orders from all over the world skyrocketed and made peopl

However, the direction of the basement she saw when she looked back was clearly this direction.

Then why is it that what we see in the basement right now is just an ordinary wine storage room?

Moreover, Li Yue and Mo Yu came here in the middle of the night, and they both saw the little mermaid.

They certainly wouldn't lie.

So, is there a trap in this basement? Is there actually another space?

Besides, where are Liyue and Moyu now? They should be able to escape detection by transforming into birds, right? After all, the demon cultivators are not here, and everyone here is just an ordinary human.

"Miss, are you confused about something? I see you've been looking around. Are you looking for some wine?" The butler who was showing them around suddenly asked Lin Yin with a kind smile.

Lin Yin was startled. Why was he suddenly asking about her? She quickly came to her senses and saw the butler looking at her with a smile. For some reason, Lin Yin suddenly felt a little uneasy, as if she saw a hint of scrutiny in his eyes...

Fortunately, she looked very calm at this moment, so she casually said, "I'm just curious. There's so much wine here. It's so spectacular. I've only seen this scene on TV before."

She tried hard to maintain the image of herself as an unworldly country bumpkin to avoid arousing suspicion.

The butler believed it, and the scrutiny disappeared. He smiled and nodded, his tone full of pride, "Our winery, including this storage room, was built by your madam's grandfather at great expense. Naturally, it can't be seen from the outside."

Lin Yin followed up with a few compliments.

When Assistant Li saw that Lin Yin was actually interested, he immediately and enthusiastically introduced the wine to Lin Yin one by one. He was also an expert in this. He thought to himself that he was really an all-round good assistant!

Fu Chenyan was sitting silently in a wheelchair at this moment, frowning slightly without saying a word.

He noticed something strange as soon as he entered the basement, but he didn't know where it came from.

Everything here seems perfectly normal.

Perhaps because his soul had been trapped during his previous vegetative state, he was unusually sensitive to subtle changes in the outside world. He felt a sense of disharmony at the moment, but he couldn't pinpoint what it was.

He knew the details of the manor and had his men investigate it before leaving. What they found was similar to what Assistant Li said.

There was only one difference: one of the missing people was later found. He had accidentally fallen into a dry well in the hills behind the manor and was unconscious for two days before being found and rescued by a search and rescue dog.

The police found some gold, silver and jewelry on him. He took the initiative to admit his mistake and said that this was not his first time here. He had stolen a lot of jewelry and wine in the past and sold them for a lot of money. Now he realized his mistake and was willing to stay and work to pay off his debts.

The manor had no intention of pursuing the matter, and the police were happy for both parties to settle the matter privately, so he stayed and worked as a helper in the manor.

This is an absolute secret. If he didn't have certain connections, he wouldn't be able to find out this much.

Could it be that the young man is the current butler?

Although he didn't know what the young man or the butler had to do with the feeling of disharmony at the moment, he intuitively felt that this feeling of disharmony was related to the butler.

Lin Yin and Fu Chenyan each had their own thoughts. They walked around the huge basement and checked all the privately stored wines.

Then, Fu Chenyan spoke, "Can I taste it first?"

The housekeeper was a little surprised. Generally speaking, people who wanted to buy wine from them would just buy it and leave, for fear that it would be reserved by someone else if they were late.

It’s been a long time since I’ve encountered someone who asked for tasting first.

But he naturally knew the identity of the Fu family, and the hostess had also told him to entertain them well, so he put on a smile and replied, "Of course, Mr. Fu, please wait a moment."

Then, the manor staff behind the butler took them to a special reception room in the basement, which was equipped with sofas and tables.

The housekeeper went to a deeper warehouse that was not open to the public and got a few bottles of red wine.

He poured a glass for everyone present.

Lin Yin didn't like drinking, so she declined. The housekeeper didn't say anything and continued to pour wine for others.

Fu Chenyan felt strange, so he took a sip and put it aside, saying lightly, "It's really good."

Assistant Li brought the wine glass close to his nose, and a rich aroma filled his nostrils.

Then, as if intoxicated, he murmured, "The first sniff is of ripe black berries, probably the sweet aroma of blackcurrants and blackberries, mixed with the fragrance of violets. Then, there's the smoky oak, vanilla, and a hint of cinnamon... This wine has so many layers! It's worthy of being your family's private brew! Our wife will definitely love it."

The butler smiled, seeming very satisfied with Assistant Li's answer. "If Madam Fu likes it, it would be our honor."

Fu Chenyan finally picked out ten bottles. While paying the bill, he winked at Lin Yin. Lin Yin immediately understood that he was asking her if she wanted to see anything. So she should take a look.

Lin Yin immediately made an excuse to go to the restroom, and the staff of the manor took her to the bathroom.

Arriving at the bathroom, Lin Yin closed the door and immediately began to moan softly towards the window.

This was the secret code she and Liyue Moyu agreed upon.

However, she waited for a while, but they still didn't show up.

Could it be that you didn’t hear it?

She licked it again, but five minutes passed and they still didn't come.

Lin Yin became increasingly uneasy.

The hearing of demons is extremely sensitive. As agreed, they were circling outside the villa, so there was no way they couldn't hear it.

Moreover, this basement is only a semi-basement, and it has windows to avoid moisture.

She took out the whistle from her bag and blew it gently. They should be able to hear it now, right?

However, they still did not respond.

At this time, the staff waiting outside knocked on the door and asked, "Miss, are you okay? What happened?"

Lin Yin immediately replied, "I think I had something bad to eat this morning and I'm having diarrhea. Ouch! My stomach hurts! Please tell them that I'll be squatting in the toilet for a while. After they finish shopping, they can go upstairs and wait for me."

The staff member was silent for a moment before saying, "Okay, I'll be leaving now. You can meet up with them later." Then, after a pause, he added, "Remember to return the same way you came. Don't get lost."

Lin Yin originally thought that these words were quite normal, but the last sentence was very strange. Why did he specifically remind her to remember to return the same way?

Did she think too much?

Or was this staff member kindly reminding her?
