Jieyuhua paused and said to Heixiazi, "The child's door is special. Although it looks no different from other doors on the outside, there is an extra layer of steel plate inside the child's door, and it is quite heavy. If you kick it down rashly, you will break your leg."

"Is it really that bad? This is discrimination!" Black Bear looked at the door with a puzzled expression, as if he could poke a hole in it.

Upon hearing that something might have happened to the gentleman, Cheng Yu quickly grabbed the keys and rushed over.

After entering the room, the group saw an empty bed. The entire room was spotless, with no trace of anyone having lived there, not even a blanket or quilt.

Wu Xie looked left and right, and finally couldn't help but ask Xie Yuhua, "Xiao Hua, are you sure Ling Zi was really home last night? Don't you guys usually use blankets?" He then shivered and muttered in confusion, "Why is this room so cold?"

The young man walked to the wall, touched the surface with his finger and said, "It's frost." He then tapped the wall with his knuckles and looked around, saying, "There should be another house behind this wall!"

Cheng Yu panicked. He knew about the master's secret room. It was the master's secret, and the master had said that it must not be discovered by them!

Cheng Yu stood in the way of the entrance, subtly hindering their exploration.

"Cheng Yu, move aside!" Xie Yuhua noticed Cheng Yu's unusual behavior immediately, and the young man's gaze shifted from the wall in front of him to the wall behind Cheng Yu.

Sure enough, the frost behind Cheng Yu was more abundant than that seeping out from other places.

Cheng Yu shook his head and said firmly, "We can't let them!"

"Get out of the way!" This time, Jieyuhua and Xiaoge said at the same time.

"I'm sorry, I can't betray you, sir," Cheng Yu said, bowing his head with some remorse.

"Cheng Yu, tell me the truth, do you know something?" the fat man asked, looking at Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu lowered his head and remained silent.

“Cheng Yu, I’ve always admired you, but you need to know that loyalty and blind loyalty are two different things,” Xie Yuhua said, her face gentle but her tone icy. She continued, “If you don’t let us in today, and something happens to Ling Xiao, no one will need to blame you; you’ll be consumed by guilt. Besides, now that we’ve discovered the secret door, whatever’s inside, there’s little point in you guarding it.”

Cheng Yu turned his head to look at the wall, thought for a moment, slowly stepped aside, walked to the table, and turned on the switch to the secret room. He thought to himself, if the master blames him, let him blame him. To him, nothing is more important than the master's life.

The moment the hidden door was opened, a blast of cold air filled the air, making Wuxie shiver and quickly huddle together with Fatty for warmth.

When Jieyuhua opened the door, she saw a white blanket in the corner, shaped like a silkworm, with frost still clinging to it.

"What is this lump?" Black Bear asked, squatting down again and poking it twice with his finger.

Ling Xiao heard the voice, but due to the pain and numbness from the cold, he couldn't make out whose voice it was or what the other person was saying. He could only sense that they had discovered him. He suddenly opened his eyes, his whole body filled with murderous intent, and said, "Get out of here!"

"Damn! Young Master?" Hei Xiazi yanked off the blanket covering Ling Xiao. He was about to ask him why he had locked himself in such a cold place, but when he saw Ling Xiao's appearance, he was speechless.

At this moment, Ling Xiao's white hair was as white as snow, hanging down to his waist and abdomen. Half of his face was covered with vein-like lines, there were traces of blood at the corners of his mouth, frost still clung to his eyelashes, and his pupils had an unusual red hue. He looked like a demon that had just eaten blood, both evil and dangerous.

The blanket was pulled back, and Ling Xiao couldn't bear the sudden light. He put his hand in front of his face, looking as if he had just stepped into the mortal world, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

Xie Yuhua immediately took off her coat and covered him with it, then hugged him, trying to warm him up in this way.
