icent scenery of China, and reflection on war. 。He was sent here to explore the “underground palace,” and seemed quite pleased about it. 。However, Jiang Yan showed He Jian Guo something other than th...What exactly happened to He Jian Guo and the others She couldn't help but worry. Her attention was entirely focused on gathering intelligence today, to the point where she overlooked Liao Jun's situation. Surely their goals wouldn't clash, would they

In a daze, Jiang Yan was suddenly pushed by Zhang Qingfang and almost hit the lamppost. Before he could react, he was stunned by Zhang Qingfang's heroic act.

She struggled desperately, wielding a bag full of food, trying to resist the two men closing in on her.

He should have charged directly at Jiang Yan's attack, but under Zhang Qingfang's manipulation, he changed his target to her.

At this moment, Jiang Yan did not choose to leave because rescuing the dying was not her style, let alone Zhang Qingfang had saved her once before.

And she recognized one of the men, realizing that the responsibility for this incident didn't seem to lie with Zhang Qingfang, but with herself.

Jiang Yan quickly grabbed the arm attempting to attack Zhang Qingfang's temple, and at the same time, without hesitation, drew a gun from the other person's sleeve and pulled the trigger. She preferred to capture the attacker alive rather than engage in a fight to the death.

With the sound of gunfire, one person fell to the ground.

Before falling unconscious, Jiang Yan wondered in confusion, why another enemy had appeared Why wasn't it her own brother Thankfully, real life wasn't as exaggerated as TV dramas. Her gunshot didn't bring about any consequences like eating the fruit of evil, it only brought about the resolution of a crisis.

Jiang Yu struggled, letting out a faint cry. Her wish was for the irritating voice beside her to quiet down for a moment.

"Jiang Yu, wake up quickly."

The call of anxiety pierced her consciousness like an electric current. Jiang Yu tried to move her limp arms, but her body felt shackled by an invisible force. Had she fallen victim to paralysis The thought struck her like a cold arrow, piercing her heart. She frantically opened her eyes, but all she saw was darkness, a bottomless abyss. Had not only her physical being been confined, but also her vision

"Jiang Yu! Wake up quickly."

Zhao Wanxin's voice grew increasingly anxious and clear. Jiang Yu finally woke up from the chaos, struggling to adjust her vision. Although her field of view was blurry, she could vaguely catch a glimmer ahead. She wasn't blind; she was trapped in a deep, dark world.

"Zhao Wanxin, how long have we been here"

Jiang Yu struggled to support her body, leaning against the cold ground. She found that her hands and feet were bound tightly but not paralyzed.

“I don’t know, I just woke up from a coma. Are you alright I remember that guy was pretty strong. How could you be so reckless You should have run away immediately. They were after me, they wouldn’t waste time chasing you.”

Zhao Wanxin's words were choked with emotion. Every time, it was her negligence that led others into trouble. Just now, being unable to wake Jiang Yu, her heart was filled with guilt and self-blame, on the verge of collapse.

"No, their target this time might be me, or us."

Jiang Yu smiled wryly, she was too confident, but there was nothing to be done about it.

Let her escape alone, facing the anger of the Zhang family and the Liao family, she would find it difficult to extricate herself unscathed.

Even with her connections, making enemies without reason is unwise. He Jian Guo is already under a lot of pressure, besides she has that mysterious space as a backup, her chances of survival are not entirely hopeless.

"Don't worry, we might find a way."

Jiang Yuyan soothed, she understood Zhao Wanxin's worries, but what was needed now was optimism.

She whispered to Zhao Wanzhen that they might be sent to some unknown place, but at least they were still alive, which gave them hope.

Jiang Yu whispered to Zhao Wanxin while carefully using the miniature dagger given by her third uncle to cut the ropes binding her wrists and ankles.

She listened around her, confirming they were in a quiet basement. Aside from the silence, she could hear faint sounds from afar, like the rustling whispers of rodents.

"Don't move, I'll help you."

After finishing with herself, Jiang Yu gently approached Zhao Wanxin, sensing her trembling. She immediately offered a warm embrace and began to carefully undo her restraints, launching into a new round of rescue.

In the silent atmosphere, Jiang Yan silently severed the restraints on Zhang Qingfang's body. He lightly patted her shoulder, signaling her to stay still. Afterward, she straightened her body and explored along the outline of the wall.

Although the room was small, accommodating only two people, the moment Jiang Yan's hand touched the wall, her brows furrowed involuntarily. She hesitated slightly, glanced at the bag slung across her shoulder, and ultimately restrained her impulse, making no move.

She wasn't sure if the other person had already searched her bag. Taking out a light source recklessly might expose her plan, after all, the small knife given to her by her great-uncle and carefully kept deep within her waistband was a secret she guarded closely.

The roughness of the wall noodles should have been evident to the touch, but Jiang Yan felt only a cold and unusually smooth surface. His fingers tapped lightly, producing a crisp echo that seemed particularly jarring in the darkness.

Jiang Yan's expression was heavy at this moment, a sense of foreboding flashed in her heart. Could the things she worried about have actually happened

As she had worried, things were not as she had hoped.

Facing the sudden bright light, Jiang Yan quickly raised his hand to shield himself, lest he be harmed by the dazzling glare.

She turned and pushed Zhang Qingfang against the only solid wall in the room. Taking a brief glance, she realized she was in a space enclosed by transparent glass on all sides, with glimpses of other captives or creatures visible on either side.

As I have said before, never underestimate any woman, especially those who are intelligent and beautiful. They know how to use their advantages skillfully.

Accompanied by sparse applause, a familiar voice rose. The rhythm of the speech was clear and distinct, accurate like standard Mandarin, with a subtle softness that didn't lose its strength, as if it could bring to mind the word "pure."

As the groom, the appearance of Ma Xiangdong was indeed a surprise to me. I feel regret for Xi Xiu Fen's same-sex marriage.

Jiang Yan slowly lowered her arm, opened her eyes, and through the glass door, her gaze fell on the groom in a dry department uniform, with a golden Chairman badge on his chest. A faint smile played at the corner of her lips, as if silently responding to him.

"Indeed, it is you, the extraordinary one."

Jiang Yan thought to herself, she understood that Ma Xiangdong was about to start his explanation again, and this time the topic had shifted to the next room.

Jiang Yan pondered for a moment, her face changing drastically. She knew that at least several types of fly larvae possessed the ability described by Ma Xiangdong.

Recalling the moment she stepped into the lab, even with gloves on her hands, she hadn't protected her hands outside.

She looked toward the next room, where a small figure huddled in the corner. It was the child that Lao Wu had mentioned. A flame of redemption ignited within her heart. No matter what, a child's life always comes first.

What is your wish.

Jiang Yan's gaze fixed on the child's face, but he questioned Ma Xiangdong in an inquiring manner.

Actually, our grievances aren't deep-seated. You could even say I was an indirect catalyst for Xiu Fen and you getting together. As long as you return the item to its original place and reveal the person behind this, I'll let bygones be bygones.

Ma Xiangdong stood outside the door, maintaining his usual composure, his fingers lightly tapping on the door frame.

"I did enter, but found nothing. Obviously, someone arrived before me."

As for his proposal, Jiang Yan secretly smiled. Those documents and safe had already been stored in her mysterious domain. It was absolutely impossible to cast spells under the enemy's watchful eyes. That would be courting death.

She decided to remain silent, not trusting that Ma Xiangdong could see through everything.

"I have no idea about this. I don't even know what's going on behind the scenes. They hold my weakness in their hands and force me through anonymous messages. The first task was to explore the ancient tomb of Dahu Mountain, and now I've been beaten to it."

Jiang Yan cleverly applied Li Hong's experience to herself. She originally wanted to bring up He Jian Guo, but after thinking about it, she realized that emotional fragility couldn't withstand testing. So, she changed the subject, as it wasn't really important anyway.

As soon as her words left her mouth, a thought struck her: the "White Snake Plan". She recalled the white snake from Mt. Dahei, and in an instant, her thoughts connected, preparing to use this against Ma Xiangdong.g at the group of young men. The one leading them was particularly brutal, seeming to harbor a deep hatred for the old man.The old woman saw through Jiang Yu's confusion at a glance and answered direc...
