The Road to Becoming a Son-in-Law

Chapter 49 The Secret of the House

However, just as the man in black was about to unleash his evil hand, a woman suddenly stepped in, her high heels squeezing between the two.

"Little sister, it's dangerous to go out alone." Chu Ling had already come out with Pei without anyone noticing.

Chen Ya blushed as soon as she looked up at the extremely hot woman in front of her.

"Who are you?" The man in black looked at him with displeasure.

His intuition told him that the woman in front of him was not as simple as she seemed.

The other person exuded an aura that resembled that of a well-trained individual, yet he hadn't noticed Chu Ling's close approach at all.

His eyes were filled with intense vigilance, but Chu Ling showed a puzzled expression.

"And who are you? Are you a criminal who abducts children?"

Chu Ling was aggressive, yet her alluring face remained perfectly composed despite her words.

Chen Ya trusted him completely, which infuriated the man in black.

Just as he realized Chu Ling was a woman and was about to snatch her away, Chu Ling's eyes lit up.

"Director Chen?"

Director Chen, the financial director, is a brand new hire.

Halfway through the chase, Chen Feng remembered that he had left Chen Ya behind, so he decisively gave up the chase and turned back to look for Chen Ya.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a scene of three people facing each other.

Especially that dark shadow.

He was taken aback: Oh my god, there's another one?

But noticing Chen Ya was also there, and feeling a sense of being targeted, Chen Feng slapped his forehead: "Are you playing me again?"

When Chen Feng returned, the dark figure dared not linger any longer and fled as fast as it could.

Chen Feng had been tricked time and time again, and he was starting to have a fear of dying, but Chu Ling managed to stop him.

"Stop chasing that human trafficker. Is this Director Chen's sister?"

Chu Ling asked curiously, her acting superb, and there was no indication that she had just sneaked into the Chen family mansion.

Chen Feng looked her up and down, and couldn't help but ask with some suspicion, "What are you doing here?"

"My home happens to be nearby," Chu Ling said calmly, then turned and left.

Chen Feng didn't ask any more questions, but Chen Ya whispered, "Sister is a good person, Brother Chen Feng, let's go back first."

After she finished speaking, she pulled Chen Feng into the house, where there was no one else around.

Chen Feng glanced at the books on the table and frowned slightly: "Has someone tampered with them?"

Chen Ya already knew there was something down there, so she immediately said, "It's alright, outsiders can't solve this mechanism."

As they spoke, they moved the book aside, revealing the icon that the two of them had removed from the floor.

"Brother Chen Feng, only you can solve this problem," Chen Ya said seriously in his ear.

Chen Feng squinted and stared, "What the hell is this?"

The Chen family's Qimen Dunjia mechanical arts are notoriously difficult; without training, it's impossible to solve them.

From afar, Chu Ling, observing through binoculars, watched Chen Feng's astonished expression with a hint of regret.

Although she suspected that Chen Feng might be a member of the Chen family...

Chen Feng tapped the icon with a frustrated look, then exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? This thing is embossed... But I don't understand it. Even if I were perfect, I couldn't know everything. Are there any others...?"

"Click."

A very disrespectful voice suddenly rang out at that moment.

Chen Feng was taken aback, then stared blankly at the icon under his finger.

Chu Ling had already looked away, since she was convinced that Chen Feng, being a half-baked amateur, couldn't possibly have opened this secret passage.

However, upon noticing Chen Feng's change in expression, all the bookshelves in the study suddenly moved.

This clearly indicates that the mechanism has been triggered and the decryption has been successfully completed!

"Amazing!" Chen Ya had no idea what was going on and immediately looked at Chen Feng with admiration.

Chen Feng: "..."

He glanced at his hand, which was already pressed against the icon on the table, and thought to himself, "Is this some kind of high-tech device? Like, fingerprint unlocking?"

"As expected... they are from the Chen family?" In the distance, Chu Ling, who was taking in everything through a telescope, had a very complicated expression.

Judging from that man in black, he must have spent a lot of effort unlocking the password, but then Chen Feng arrived...

A slap and it's all solved?

This kid's incredibly lucky!

The bookshelf behind the two slowly opened, and Chen Feng lost interest in this art of divination.

He turned his head to think, and then he saw the bookshelf move aside, revealing a staircase leading to the underground.

The end was nowhere in sight, but surprisingly, Chen Feng saw that there was still light coming from this long-sealed secret room.

He frowned, then looked at Chen Ya beside him. The little girl was looking at him curiously, seemingly wanting to go inside and take a look.

"Brother Chen Feng, do you want to come in and see me?" Chen Ya looked up at him, asking for his opinion. "There's something very important in here."

The little girl's serious demeanor made Chen Feng uncomfortable, so he went downstairs.

The stairs are not steep, nor are they long. When the house was first discovered, it was probably intended to be a basement, as exposed electrical wires were still present inside.

When Chen Feng tried to turn on the light, it struggled for a moment and then actually turned on.

He exclaimed in surprise, "This lamp is of such good quality?"

It hasn't been inspected for at least five years, and the house has been without power, so the source of the electricity is something worth pondering.

However, his attention was soon drawn to something else.

This basement, which resembles a small study, contains only a table.

There were books all around, and every single one of them was an ancient book. At first glance, it looked quite like his master's library.

The book's content was very varied and mostly ordinary. Chen Feng's head ached as soon as he saw the book, and he immediately went to the table without saying a word.

There's just a box on top.

It's exquisitely crafted, but you can see an opening in the powder compact.

"There's no lock, but it's locked?"

The box was exquisite. When the dusty lid was opened, a yin-yang disc was revealed inside.

There is also a very thin channel around the box containing the yin-yang disc.

Chen Feng didn't act rashly; his intuition told him that this thing was not simple.

Chen Ya strained to stand on tiptoe before she could see a little bit, but she quickly realized and exclaimed, "The Yin-Yang disc?"

"How come you know everything?"

"This is the secret I've been keeping from the Chen family all this time. If I hadn't met you, Brother Chen Feng, I wouldn't have left here even for a moment."

Chen Ya whispered and solemnly repeated the words that had been instilled in her since childhood to Chen Feng.

She said, "This is the Chen family's Yin-Yang Box. It's a box that can only be opened by someone with the legitimate bloodline of the Chen family. If Brother Chen Feng can open it, then it proves that you are..."

"Clap."

A crisp sound.

Chen Feng felt a sharp pain in his finger as soon as his hand touched the surface of the box, and then blood dripped onto the black yin plate above the box.

Chen Ya: I haven't finished speaking yet!
