his head to look at Fu Shaoqing, saying wearily, "You go there yourself and bring the child back.""Grandfather, I came here today just to talk to you about the child."Old Master Fu turned his head and..."Thump thump thump." Footsteps pounded up the stairs, heavy and hurried.

A bodyguard strode up the stairs and hurried to Ye Xiao's presence, reporting, "Young Master Ye, we found a locked basement downstairs. We've unlocked it, and there's an open secret passage inside."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao's eyes darkened, and he immediately turned to the maid, demanding in a harsh voice, "Where does the secret passage lead to"

The maid waved her hands in panic. “I don’t know, the basement belongs to Miss Lin, but I have no idea where there might be a secret passage.”

"Go ask the others, the rest of you follow me." Ye Xiao made a decisive decision and strode towards the stairs.

A bodyguard cleared the way to report the situation, while another bodyguard went to inquire about the others who were under control.

The night owl followed the bodyguard to the door of the basement. A musty smell hung in the air, extremely unpleasant.

The interior was dark and damp, with shards of broken pottery scattered across the floor. They seemed to have once been bowls.

As soon as Ye Xiao thought of Lin Jinran being imprisoned in such a place, a wave of anger surged through his heart, wishing to brutally punish those who had abused him!

No, Lingchi wouldn't satisfy the hatred in his heart. He wanted them to endure a thousand or even ten thousand tortures, washing away everything they had done to Lin Jinran!

The night owl's black eyes were icy cold, and his whole body emanated a chilling aura, like a demon straight from hell.

Footsteps sounded, a bodyguard rushed to Ye Xiao's side and reported on the situation they had just inquired about, “Young Master Ye, those people don't know where the secret passage leads. Besides Miss Lin, two bodyguards are also missing!”

"All of you, follow me!" With long strides, Ye Xiao strode towards the entrance of the secret passage. He paused for a moment, his gloomy gaze fell on one of the guards, his voice cold as ice, "Lock them all up and investigate. Find out who did this!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Ye Xiao leaned down and stepped into the secret passage.

When the Night Falcon entered the villa, Lin Shanger had already walked to the edge of the cliff.

She had her bodyguard tie Lin Jinran to a chair, dragged over a box and opened it, taking out the gasoline inside. Without any hesitation, she poured it all over Lin Jinran and the surrounding area.

She casually tossed the empty gasoline bottle into the sea. Lin Shan'er crouched down and pulled out a time bomb from the box.

Lowering her head to look at the timer bomb in her hand, Lin Shaner smiled expressionlessly and directly installed it on Lin Jinran, who was unconscious.

After installing it, she stood up and turned to the two bodyguards, handing them the megaphone microphone. "Take this, hide yourselves, and when people arrive, say what I just told you. If things go as planned, besides the 200,000, I'll give each of you another 100,000."

One of the bodyguards took the microphone and hurriedly nodded in agreement, “You can rest assured, we all remember. We’ll just hide for now.”

Lin Shan'er nodded.

The two bodyguards didn't hesitate, turned around and left.

When the two figures were hidden from view, Lin Shaner turned to Lin Jinran who was unconscious.

She took out a clean tissue and covered Lin Jinyan's injured shoulder. She stretched out her finger, which was painted with vermilion, and pinched him hard.

"Ah!" The unbearable pain yanked Lin Jinfan back from unconsciousness.

She was breathing rapidly, her whole face as white as paper.

Lin Shan'er smiled and looked at her, smiling as she spoke, "You're awake! There's still some time, so let me tell you what will happen next."her. She could almost feel his breath, warm and ticklish, spraying on her cheeks.She hastily loosened her arms, not knowing where to put them.Gu Nanci, who was on top of her, hadn't gotten up yet. Su...
