The retired man went into the wrong book, and his beautiful husband loved him

It's quiet at night.

"Master, it's settled." Yunshan knocked gently on the window outside.

"Let's go!" Lin Qiqi seemed much more excited than Yun Qing. She excitedly pulled Yun Qing and ran out.

It feels like I haven't done such sneaky things for a long time, and I miss it.

Yun Boyu's study.

The guards in the dark had also been knocked unconscious by Yunshan and the others, so they were carefully placed on the roof or on the ground.

Anyway, they wouldn't dare say anything when they wake up. They are all hired, not raised in the family.

I don't know how Yun Boyu managed to hire so many secret guards, and they weren't very professional. But a civil servant's study actually had this level of security. He wouldn't believe it if he said there wasn't something fishy going on.

The two quickly arrived at the study. Yunshan had already pried open the door lock and prepared two large night-shining pearls for lighting.

"You wait outside." Yun Qing instructed Yunshan, then took Lin Qiqi's hand and walked into the study.

"Wait." Lin Qiqi suddenly called Yun Qing. She fumbled in her pocket for a moment, took out a modified gas mask, handed it to Yun Qing and helped him put it on.

This is a high-tech product that can filter out almost 90% of toxins that enter through the mouth and nasal cavity. This mask is designed to look like the mask worn by ancient warriors and looks quite unique.

No matter how powerful Yun Boyu was, he probably didn't have the ability to obtain those rare poisons that would instantly kill people upon contact. So this gas mask should be enough to deal with it.

Even if there is really a terrible poison inside, Lin Qiqi is not afraid. The worst that can happen is that she can slip into the space immediately. As long as she is given three minutes, she can snatch the person away from the god of death!

After Lin Qiqi put on a mask herself, Yun Qing found the mechanism under the landscape painting and pressed it.

The bookcase not far away began to move slowly, and a small door appeared from the back of the bookcase.

Lin Qiqi carefully observed the wall next to the door and found that the traces of chiseling were very old. It was obvious that this door was not newly built, but had been there for quite a while.

Yun Qing tried to push the door, but it was not locked.

He pushed the door open carefully and walked in first.

However, to their surprise, the room behind the door was completely empty, with almost no furnishings, except for a huge futon lying alone on the ground.

"Is this really the place where Yun Boyu meditates?" Lin Qiqi couldn't help but curl her lips, expressing her doubt.

"Definitely not, he is just creating a mysterious atmosphere." Yun Qing said as he walked forward and lifted the mat.

There is no expected mechanism underneath!

Lin Qiqi looked at Yun Qing's dazed expression and couldn't help but want to laugh. How could he be so cute?

Lin Qiqi picked up the night pearl and began to look around for possible flaws.

Yun Boyu spent so much effort to build this hidden secret door, it is impossible that it was just to hide an empty room.

"Aqing, the color of this floor is a little different." Lin Qiqi suddenly called Yunqing and pointed to the wall.

Sure enough, that floor was shinier than the surrounding floors and had relatively less dust, looking like it had been wiped or moved frequently.

Yun Qing walked forward and tapped the floor lightly, feeling a hollow sound underneath.

Lin Qiqi carefully felt around the floor and finally found a thin piece of iron-like object on the side.

"Aqing, please move away." Lin Qiqi seemed to have guessed the purpose of this piece of iron.

Yun Qing took two steps back obediently. Lin Qiqi gently pressed the patch, and as she expected, one side of the floor lifted up.

This seemingly simple design is actually easy to be overlooked. Most people may mistakenly think that it is just a small piece of iron that was accidentally dropped on the ground.

Lin Qiqi and Yun Qing looked at each other, then carefully moved the floor away.

A small square iron door with a handle appeared under the floor. Sure enough, there was a secret room!

The two men looked nervous, not daring to breathe, and slowly pulled up the iron gate.

As the iron gate rose, a faint light appeared from inside.

Lin Qiqi concentrated and listened carefully. It was extremely quiet inside. There was no breathing sound from any Tibetans in the dark. It could even be said that there was almost no sound of anyone.

"I'll go down first." Lin Qiqi quickly reached out and grabbed Yun Qing who was about to step onto the ladder and go down.

"No! What if there is danger down there?" Yun Qing refused without even thinking.

Lin Qiqi held Yun Qing's hand tightly, and then gently placed it on her chest.

Yun Qing's little face flushed instantly, and he muttered to himself: What is Qiqi doing? It's so embarrassing... At this moment, he suddenly felt that Lin Qiqi seemed to be wearing hard armor, but he didn't know what material it was made of.

"The armor I'm wearing inside is invulnerable to swords and guns. So, Aqing, you won't be wrong if you listen to me, otherwise I will be angry." Lin Qiqi explained with a proud smile.

After waking up in the afternoon, she had already put on her bulletproof vest. She firmly believed that no matter how outrageous the book was, there would never be a weapon that could penetrate the improved bulletproof vest.

Yun Qing didn't insist any further and let Lin Qiqi grab the ladder and go into the dark room.

"Aqing, come down. It's safe down there." Lin Qiqi went down and glanced around, then looked up and called Yunqing.

Yun Qing didn't hesitate and jumped down directly by grabbing the ladder.

The darkroom was not big, with only a torch on the wall barely lit. The faint light flickered in the darkness, making it look a little eerie.

This dark room was still the same as the room above, almost empty and with nothing in it.

Lin Qiqi looked around, her eyes fell on the air vent diagonally above the torch, and then looked at the straw in the corner that had not been dealt with.

The air was filled with a foul stench and the smell of rotting food, which was nauseating.

The broken chains on the wall and the signs that someone once lived here indicate that this was once a prison cell.

"The blood is still fresh." Lin Qiqi noticed that there were still traces of blood on the chain that had not yet completely solidified. She took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped it a few times. "Yun Boyu is still very vigilant. I didn't expect him to move so quickly."

Yun Qing's face turned very ugly, and his heart was filled with fear and worry. He was afraid that the person imprisoned here might be his biological mother.

Lin Qiqi noticed Yun Qing's worry. She gently placed her hand over Yun Qing's eyes and said softly, "Don't be afraid, Qing. I have a way to find out who is imprisoned here."

Lin Qiqi carefully placed her hand on the bloodstain on the handkerchief, praying silently in her heart, hoping that this was not the blood of Yun Boyu or some other unrelated person.

She took out a small, low-level spirit stone from the space.

In fact, she could have chosen to use high-level spirit stones to increase her spiritual power and then use the mysterious arts, but she was worried that this unstable world would exclude her because it detected a powerful external force.

Even though she had used the soul-fixing talisman, she still didn't dare to take any risks.

The spirit stone instantly turned into an ordinary stone, and the spiritual energy it absorbed was just enough for Lin Qiqi to perform a divination.

Lin Qiqi closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and began to trace the source through the blood.

Due to her limited spiritual power, she could only look back slowly along the timeline, and could only see what happened within six hours at most.

When she opened her eyes again, her consciousness had returned to six hours ago.

She looked around and found that the light around her was similar to the dimness when she and Yunqing came down just now.

The difference was that there were some tattered bedding on the straw, emitting a musty and rotten smell.

There was an iron pillar next to the bedding, with a long iron chain tied to it. One end of the chain was connected to an iron ring, which was thrown casually on the bedding.

There was a toilet in the corner and a broken bowl on the ground, half filled with porridge so thin that you could see your reflection in it.

Lin Qiqi walked quickly to the wall. The iron chain on the wall was still there, and a thin figure was firmly locked on the chain.

The figure's wrists were covered with scars, and blood oozed from the wounds, staining the chains red.

His nails were very long and his hands were skinny and dark, as if he had experienced countless tortures.

Her hair was also very long and messy, with white hair and straw mixed in with the black hair.

Lin Qiqi was eager to know whether the imprisoned person was a man or a woman, but because the person's clothes were worn and loose, his head was lowered, and his long hair covered his face, it was difficult to tell his gender.

She was extremely anxious and wanted to reach out and lift the hair covering her face to take a look, but she was not a physical body and could not touch the person in front of her at all.

At this moment, there was a sound of an iron door opening behind him, accompanied by heavy footsteps. Obviously someone was coming.

The locked person moved slightly, as if he had noticed something. He slowly raised his head and looked in the direction of the ladder.

At this moment, Lin Qiqi finally saw his face clearly.

It was a face as thin as a skull, with deep and shallow knife marks crisscrossing on it, as if someone had deliberately scratched it with a sharp weapon.

Drops of blood oozed from his cracked lips, like broken petals.

And those eyes were as sharp as an eagle, full of hatred and vigilance, staring at the direction of the ladder.

Lin Qiqi tried hard to identify the appearance of the person in front of her, but because there were too many scars on his face, she found it difficult to make out clearly.

However, she felt that those eyes seemed familiar, and she felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy in her heart.

She was sure that it was a man because he had a distinct Adam's apple on his skinny neck.

"Fortunately, it's not Yunqing's mother." Lin Qiqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just as she was about to relax, her vision suddenly went dark, her body lost balance, and her energy was exhausted.

Yun Qing only felt that Lin Qiqi's hand on his eyes suddenly slipped down, and he subconsciously hugged the person in front of him.

Lin Qiqi leaned weakly in his arms: "Aqing, it's not your mother-in-law, it's a man who is locked up." As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Qiqi lost consciousness.

Yunqing was frightened. He carried Lin Qiqi on his back, climbed out along the ladder, ordered Yunshan to restore the cellar to its original state, and trotted back to Yunqing Courtyard.

He gently placed Lin Qiqi on the bed and was about to call for a doctor when a child-like voice suddenly rang in his ears: "The boss just fainted, there's no need to call a doctor."

Yun Qing was horrified and looked around, only to find no one around. He frowned, his face full of confusion as he asked, "Who's talking? What's wrong with Qiqi?"

Ice cream cone saw everything that happened outside in the space. It guessed that Yun Qing was going to see a doctor, and in its anxiety, it actually spoke.

However, what it did not expect was that Yun Qing could actually hear its voice.

Ice cream cone was suddenly caught in a dilemma and was very confused.

Should I answer or not? If I answer, my identity will be completely exposed.

But if he didn't answer, Yun Qing would call a doctor, and there was no guarantee that what happened tonight would be discovered by others. Besides, Lin Qiqi just ran out of energy and would be fine after a good night's sleep.

"Um..." Ice Cream Cone hesitated for a while and finally decided to speak, "Can you pretend you didn't hear me? But I'm not a bad guy. I'm just a caring little Ice Cream Cone who's here to protect the boss."

Yun Qing calmed himself down. He had always known that there was something strange around Qiqi and didn't care, but this was the first time he communicated with something he couldn't see, so it felt a little strange.

"That won't work," Yun Qing refused directly, "You can't lie to Qiqi. I can't, and you can't either."

The ice cream cone was stunned. Such a simple and rude rejection? It wanted to kill itself for speaking rashly. "How can you be so...?"

Ice cream cone was very depressed.

From the brief conversation just now, Yun Qing guessed that Tiantong had no ill intentions and was a simple-minded person. He might be a pet raised by Qiqi.

"Ice cream, right?" Yun Qing began to coax Ice cream. "Just tell me what happened to Qiqi and why we can't call a doctor. When she wakes up, I will definitely praise you and won't let her anger vent on you."

Ice Cream was skeptical. How could you have such a high position in this family? Who are you trying to fool?

"If you don't tell me, I will definitely complain when she wakes up. As for what I will say, it depends on my mood at that time." Yun Qing used both soft and hard tactics.

Ice Cream was speechless, and once again wanted to kill himself for speaking rashly just now. Just call the doctor, let the matter be exposed, what does it have to do with it? Really, why should it worry about this unnecessary thing?

"The boss is just exhausted and just needs a good sleep." Ice Cream Cone said sullenly, then hid away and never spoke again.

Yun Qing waited quietly, time passed by minute by minute, but after Ice Cream Cone finished speaking, there was no movement.

He felt a little confused, but decided to take good care of Lin Qiqi first.

Bringing a basin of hot water, Yun Qing carefully wiped her face and hands, then began to help her change her clothes, preparing to let her sleep peacefully.

When he took off Lin Qiqi's outer shirt, he found that she was wearing a strange armor next to her skin. This made Yun Qing feel troubled. He had never seen it before and didn't know how to take it off.

After some research and experimentation, he finally succeeded in removing the armor.

Yun Qing carefully held Lin Qiqi in his arms and lay down on the warm bed together.

He gazed at her eyes, listened to her steady breathing, and his heart was filled with endless tenderness.

Although he was exhausted, he didn't dare close his eyes easily, for fear of missing any possible situation.

What if Lin Qiqi still hasn't woken up tomorrow? Yun Qing felt like he was going crazy just thinking about it. He hugged the person in his arms tightly, and countless possibilities flashed through his mind.
