He completely ignored Murong Bai, whose voice was hoarse from calling out to him.

She waited until Murong Bai stopped making a sound before speaking.

"Hey, sir, do you live next to me?" Actually, she could sense that Murong Bai was right next to her, and she asked this question just to get closer to him.

Murong Bai licked his dry lips and looked at Tang Yue, whose eyes were covered with a cloth.

He had already asked Lei Yuan to untie him earlier, so now he walked up to Tang Yue, clutching his shoulder.

"What have you done to deserve this?" Why are you chained up?

"me?"

Before Murong Bai could answer, she continued, "I dug up Lin Fang's ancestral grave, so I was thrown in here, hehe!"

It's just an ancestral grave, isn't it? Now they're so poor they're cutting their subordinates' wages. That would probably make that old scoundrel Lin even angrier than digging up an ancestral grave.

Murong Bai clearly didn't believe it. He stretched out his uninjured arm and made Tang Yue come closer to him. He took off the black cloth covering her eyes. As for the mask she was using to cover her face, it had been torn off by that man on the way.

As soon as the black cloth was removed, Tang Yue grinned foolishly.

"Sir, you are so kind. It's so dark in front of me, I feel like I'm blind."

Murong Bai: ...Is this kid stupid? He's been arrested, how come he doesn't seem scared at all?

"Sir, could you please untie my chains? They're so heavy!"

Murong Bai raised his eyebrows and then reached out to unlock the iron chains on Tang Yue's hands.

The moment she was freed, Tang Yue immediately jumped up and stretched her arms and legs.

"Ah, we're finally free!"

She looked around the dungeon to make sure she hadn't been there before. She then carefully recalled the path the man had led her through, and realized that no matter how she calculated it, they were still in the Prime Minister's residence.

So, in other words, there's a "rat hole" in the Prime Minister's residence that she doesn't know about!

Tang Yue's lips twitched. Could it be that the entire underground of the Prime Minister's mansion is hollowed out?

Curious, she stomped her foot. Murong Bai, seeing her strange behavior, once again labeled her as someone who was simple-minded and lacked common sense.

"Hey?"

It feels stuffy and oppressive; it doesn't look like there's an underground passage.

Murong Bai: ...Is she looking for a tunnel?

"That kid, we're down there right now."

"Huh?" Tang Yue raised her voice, then suddenly realized and slapped her thigh. "Oh my god, I forgot about that!"

Ah! Murong Bai must think she's incredibly stupid. How could she make such a foolish mistake? It must be because it's too dark and she's too sleepy. Yes, that's it.

Tang Yue scratched her head, took a few deep breaths, and then walked heavily toward Murong Bai.

"Um...sir?"

"What do you want?" Murong Bai raised an eyebrow at Tang Yue, whose mood suddenly seemed heavy.

"I see your shoulder is injured. Do you want to put some medicine on it?"

"You have?"

"Yes, I have all kinds of medicine here. Whatever you want, I can get it for you!"

"Can you bring out a chicken leg?"

Suddenly, a female voice rang out, and it came from behind her. Startled, she grabbed the pillar separating her and Murong Bai and jumped behind him.

"Ahhh! A ghost!!!" A sharp, explosive sound echoed throughout the entire dungeon.

It's no wonder Tang Yue was startled. Lei Yuan's voice was faint, yet it suddenly appeared behind Tang Yue, speaking close to the back of her neck!

Lei Yuan was speechless, but even more shocked. She... she just pulled that iron pillar off so easily?

Not to mention Lei Yuan, even Murong Bai had no interest in observing Tang Yue behind him, but stared intently at the cage that had a large hole in it.

This isn't wood; it's a dungeon made of iron. Just how much strength would it take to break this thing in two?

"Lei Yuan, I... I must not have seen wrong, right?" Murong Bai asked, somewhat disbelieving.

“You’re not mistaken,” Qu Fei spoke up before Lei Yuan could, his eyes fixed intently on Tang Yue from another cell, as if he wanted to stare a hole through her back.

"Lei Yuan? That ghost is named Lei Yuan?" Tang Yue asked in a hoarse voice.

God knows, she was really terrified. She looked so much like a ghost that the hair on her back was still layered up.
