He Lie looked at Ni Zongqi and asked with his eyes. Ni Zongqi shook his head, meaning that they hadn’t found anything when they searched the small garden just now.

He Lie turned to ask Gu Yuan, “Is there a secret room in your residence?”

“No.”

“Yes!

‘Two different answers sounded at the same time.

The person shaking his head was Gu Yuan, and the person nodding was Gu Xiao.

Everyone’s gaze surged towards Gu Xiao.

“Big Brother, don’t hide it anymore.” The corners of Gu Xiao’s lips curled up slightly as he sighed. “It’s not a secret that there’s a secret room in the residence. Even if you know, 1 know too. Sigh, Big Brother, you must have hidden the remaining members of the Yu family in the secret room.”

Gu Xiao raised his arm and pointed in the direction of the rockery again. He said firmly, “The secret room is in the rockery.”

He Lie gestured to Ni Zongqi, who immediately understood and led seven or eight Embroidered Uniform Guards towards the rockery with an imposing aura.

The maidservants and old women in the water pavilion all raised their heads and craned their necks to look in the direction of the rockery. Their hearts were beating wildly and they were uneasy.

This time, the Embroidered Uniform Guards moved very quickly. After a while, Ni Zongqi hurried back and reported solemnly, “Commander, a secret room has been discovered at the rockery.”

“Also, there’s a cry coming from inside.”

With that, Ni Zongqi glanced at Gu Yuan with a complicated gaze.

There was silence again.

The corners of Gu Xiao’s lips curled up even more. He straightened his back and looked at Gu Yuan provocatively.

He Lie got up, brushed his robe, and said to Gu Yuan, “Then… shall we go over and take a look?”

“Please.” Gu Yuan got up smoothly, without any surprise or anger on his face.

The other young masters also stood up with solemn expressions.

They knew Gu Yuan well. From the looks of it, he really didn’t know that there was a secret room in the residence.

This alone was unnerving.

No one was a fool. This was clearly a trap set up by Gu Xiao!

A group of people surrounded Gu Yuan and He Lie as they left the water pavilion. They walked around the pond and towards the rockery.

The air was filled with a murderous atmosphere, like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

“Commander, Battalion Commander Gu, this way.” Ni Zongqi led everyone to the fake cave and came to a small black door. “The door to this secret room is hidden very well. It took us some effort to discover it.”

This door wasn’t even seven feet tall. It was dark inside and it was unknown where it extended to…

“Wah—wall—”

In the depths of the secret room, cries came intermittently. They were sometimes strong and sometimes weak. They were hoarse, and their voices changed slightly through the narrow secret room passage. It sounded a little terrifying.

There was clearly something hidden in this secret room.

He Lie’s eyes gradually darkened.

“I found the oil lamps!” Another diamond-faced Embroidered Uniform Guard hurried over with two oil lamps.

He Lie instructed, “Go down and take a look.”

There was naturally no need for He Lie to personally take action on such a small matter. Ni Zongqi led three or four Embroidered Uniform Guards down the stairs with oil lamps.

The others stood outside and waited.

Fan Beiran, Lu Shi, Yue Jun, and the others surrounded Gu Yuan, silently expressing their attitude.

They all glanced at Gu Xiao, their eyes as cold as swords.

The wind with the fragrance of flowers blew against their faces, but at this moment, it made them feel suffocated.

Gu Yuan stared fixedly at the secret room in front of him that was vaguely flashing with light. He stood with his hands behind his back.

At this point, there was nothing he couldn’t understand.

Ever since the family split up last month, outsiders definitely had no chance to hide in the residence. In other words, this person had already hidden here before the separation.

Was he from the Yu family?

There was a high chance.

Then, was the Second Uncle or Grand Madam hiding them?

Also, why did that person hide the Yu family?

The Yu family’s case had already been settled. It was a foregone conclusion. There was no way it could be reversed. With the Second Uncle and the old lady’s character, they shouldn’t have taken such a huge risk.

Unless…

Gu Yuan’s thoughts raced, and his eyes darkened. His face was cold and calm, making it impossible to tell if he was happy or angry.

“All Yuan, this secret room of yours is really a little rough.” Fan Beiran opened the fan in his hand in a carefree manner and said casually, “1 heard from my grandfather that the best secret room in the capital is in Prince Ning’s Mansion.”

“That Prince Ning’s Mansion was built by the corrupt official Li Yue of the previous dynasty. In order to hide his financial reports, Li Yue built the secret room to be extremely hidden, and the mechanisms were even more complicated. When Li Yue was ordered to raid the house by the previous dynasty’s emperor, it was said that the imperial guards raided for a full ten days before they found seven secret rooms.”

“I’ve heard of it too,” Lu Shi continued. “It’s said that not only is the secret room in Prince Ning’s Mansion hidden, but it’s also sealed extremely well. If you hide inside, no one outside can hear you even if you shout your lungs out.”

“At that time, the corpses of two thieves were also discovered in one of the secret rooms. The commander of the royal guards in charge of investigating guessed that the thieves had accidentally locked themselves inside. In the end, the heavens weren’t on their side!” Young Master Fei Liu sighed.

Yue Jun patted Gu Yuan’s shoulder and suggested seriously, “Ah Yuan, it’s best if you investigate everything in this residence another day. What if there’s another secret room and some unknown corpse hidden there? How unlucky!”

The few of them joked and seemed to be chatting, but they were actually using another method to tell Gu Yuan that they were all on his side. At the same time, they reminded the Embroidered Uniform Guards that the person hiding in the secret room might have sneaked in.

“Slam!”

The sound of something shattering suddenly came from the secret room, as well as Ni Zongqi’s scolding. “Take him down!”

These words made everyone’s expressions change..
