The richest man's parents were kidnapped, and his adorable son captivated the entire family.

Aunt Ping heard the commotion outside and came out of the kitchen.

Whether it was the light shining into her eyes or not, for a moment she was in a daze, and Aunt Ping actually saw the way adults acted in her.

"Make the call!" Sweetie clenched her fists, still demanding fiercely, "Call now!"

Aunt Xue was unwilling, but seeing how angry she looked, she could only cooperate and pick up the landline phone next to the sofa.

Dial Gu Yinshen's number, the busy tone echoed in the quiet living room.

Aunt Ping looked at Tian Tian, ​​observing her reaction.

The call is automatically disconnected if no one answers for a long time after it is dialed.

Aunt Xue put the phone back and said to Tian Tian, ​​"Miss Tian Tian, ​​as you can see, no one is answering the phone. The master is really busy. He will come back when he is done."

Are you busy? Or are you not answering?

Sweetie scoffed and forcefully pushed Aunt Xue, who was blocking her way, aside before storming off to the second floor.

Aunt Xue turned back to watch her departing figure, then looked helplessly at Aunt Ping in the kitchen. She shrugged and picked up the coat that Tian Tian had tossed on the floor.

"It seems like another bloody battle is about to take place tonight," Aunt Ping said, turning and going into the kitchen.

Aunt Xue murmured, "Who's right or wrong! With her temper, who can always treat her with a smile?"

Back in her room, Tian Tian grew angrier the more she thought about it. Her suspicions from yesterday were indeed correct; they were deliberately pretending to only have eyes for her, but in reality, it was just a cover for their investigation.

Without the help of the immortals and under their suspicion, before being driven out, he had to do something to secure his own interests and avoid a bad end.

Upon entering the Gu family residence, she discovered a secret space on the basement level. No one usually went there, and Gu Yinshen had specifically warned her not to go there.

Presumably, the basement holds some shady dealings within the Gu family, or perhaps their wealth.

Once the idea came to her, Sweetie couldn't resist starting to drive immediately.

She came out of her room, went downstairs, and saw Aunt Xue and Aunt Ping preparing dinner in the kitchen. She then carefully slipped along the wall into the entrance to the basement.

Her heart was pounding. Sweetie reached out and knocked on the door, then pressed her ear against it.

The door panel was very thick, and no sound came out.

Sweetie looked at the door lock; she needed a key to open it. It seemed opening this door wouldn't be so easy.

After noting down the lock pattern, she tiptoed back up to the second floor.

In the kitchen, Aunt Ping looked at Aunt Xue beside her with a surprised expression and said, "Did you just see that? I think I saw a figure pass by."

"A figure?" Aunt Xue peeked outside. "It's just us and Miss Tian Tian at home. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Sweetie had just stormed upstairs and wouldn't come down until Gu Yinshen and the others returned.

Aunt Ping thought, "Maybe. I haven't been resting well lately, and after what she did to me last time, I feel like I'm starting to have a nervous breakdown."

"Me too. Let's go to the hospital to get checked out sometime."

"it is good."

Aunt Xue and Aunt Ping didn't suspect anything further and continued with their work.

Study room on the second floor.

Sweetie entered Gu Yinshen's study and opened each drawer under the desk, searching for the key that could open the basement room.

However, after opening and searching through all the drawers, she did not find any suspicious keys.

Could it be related to Gu Yinshen?

That's impossible. Who would carry important things around all day? Losing them would be a real hassle.

After thinking it over, Tian Tian turned her head and focused her gaze on a bookshelf behind her.

Some people like to hide things in trees. Firstly, it's more concealed, and secondly, even if someone suspects something, it's not so easy to find.

Sweetie guessed that Gu Yinshen might have hidden the key in a book, so she immediately moved her chair over, stepped on it, and started searching.

Half an hour passed, and she had long since exhausted her strength. She was completely worn out and even covered in sweat.

She slumped to the ground, looking at the many unread books on the bookshelf, and instantly lost the will to continue searching.

Just as she was about to give up and move the chair back, she saw a box stuck under the table.

Sweetie crawled under the table, reached down and took the wooden box down, shaking it and hearing a crisp clattering sound.

Could there be a key inside?

With hope in her heart, Tian Tian opened the wooden box, and sure enough, there was a key inside.

Her heart was pounding even harder, now mixed with a hint of joy compared to the tension she had felt earlier.

As luck would have it, she actually found it.

After putting the things back in their original places and restoring everything to the state it was in when she entered the study, Tian Tian finally came out of the study.

She stood in front of the second-floor stair railing, looking down to observe the movements below.

Thankfully, they haven't returned yet; Aunt Xue and Aunt Ping are still downstairs.

Sweetie came downstairs again. Just as she was about to feel her way along the wall to the basement entrance, just like the first time she went downstairs, Aunt Xue came out of the kitchen and saw her standing at the bottom of the stairs.

"Miss Sweetie?" Aunt Xue looked surprised.

Based on her usual behavior when she's angry, she won't come downstairs unless someone coaxes her.

Why did you come down on your own after only a short while?

Sweetie was annoyed by Aunt Xue's appearance. With a dark face, she said, "I'm hungry!"

"Dinner isn't ready yet, Miss Sweetie, would you like to have some fruit to tide you over?" Aunt Xue suggested to her in a friendly manner.

But Sweetie was clearly there to cause trouble, so how could he easily agree to her suggestion?

With a cold snort, she angrily refused, "I don't want to. I want to eat. Hurry up and prepare the food. I want to eat now."

Seeing her unreasonable behavior, Aunt Xue sighed and had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, let's get ready now."

Aunt Xue went into the kitchen, and Aunt Ping looked at her sympathetically, "Prepare some food first, let her eat first."

"This is the only way. Otherwise, if we come back and twist the truth, my husband and wife might think we didn't feed her," Aunt Xue said, already starting to prepare the stir-fry.

They had already prepared the side dishes and were just waiting for everyone to come back before they started cooking.

Now that Sweetie is asking, we can only select half of the prepared vegetables and cook them for her first.

Sweetie watched them busy in the kitchen and immediately found a moment to sneak into the basement.

My hand holding the key was trembling with nervousness, and I couldn't insert it into the correct position several times.

Inside, Ji Mengran heard the noise and immediately got up from the ground.

She weakly patted the wall, calling out, "Gu Yinshen!"

The moment the door opened, everyone inside and outside was stunned.
