It was not as easy as imagined to get through the secret passage, but Mu Yanchen did not sit still and wait for death. When he knew that Duan Lu Chong was not from the same faction as Mu Guichao, he deduced in an instant that it was their group that kidnapped Shen Zhao.

Who else would do such a thing to threaten him?

Before entering the secret passage, Mu Yanchen asked Situ Rui to capture Duan Luchong's subordinates. One was enough.

In the enclosed space, the man stared at the two people at the top with horror, knowing that everything was exposed and they were completely finished. Originally, they followed Duan Lucong just to get a piece of the pie when the goal was achieved, but now the man at the top was also surnamed Mu, and although he had left the Mu residence for many years, his surname was still "Mu".

He is a low-key person, and being inconspicuous is his advantage. In addition, he is smart, so Duan Lu Chong hired him after entering Mu's house.

He was overjoyed, as if a pie in the sky had fallen on his head. He started working under Duan Luchong and was soon valued by him.

He thought he had always been working for the Mu family, but as time went by, he realized how superficial his thoughts were. Duan Luchong was not a man of Mu Guichao at all. What prevented him from surrendering and made him collapse was that everything he had done for Duan Luchong was pushing the Mu family into a deeper abyss step by step.

Duan Lu Chong offered him an olive branch, which was a huge pie in the sky, and he accepted it. Since there was no way out, he bet on the decline of the Mu family.

Duan Luchong's plans had always been meticulous, and he had no idea where he had gone wrong that resulted in him being held in a ditch.

Situ Rui was much taller than him, and his knuckles were pinching his jaw tightly from bottom to top. He even felt like his jaw was being lifted into the air and broken. Situ Rui's light gaze met his sidelong red eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised up an evil arc.

"You seem very tough. I wonder what you will think after reading the following information?"

In the small, closed and dark room, a series of slides were lit up, showing the man's fleeting life. The wall even reflected the scene of him carrying his daughter on his back with his wife smiling beside him. Just looking at their expressions, it seemed as if the laughter was lingering in his ears.

His eyes suddenly opened wide, and his eyelids trembled as the muscles around his face began to become hideous. He thought too simply of the Seventh Young Master of the Mu Family.

He was lucky enough to think that they were just randomly capturing someone for interrogation and that he was just the unlucky one.

But this is not the case. He had entered Mu Yanchen's sight a long time ago and had been monitored early on. No matter who the Seventh Young Master wanted to deal with, he had been lurking long enough.

He raised his bloodshot eyes and stared at Situ Rui angrily, "What do you want me to do?"

Then came the phone call that lured Duan Luchong out of the sanatorium.

When Mu Yanchen and Situ Rui were halfway there, they heard an abnormal noise in the secret passage. As long as they were in the secret passage, they could clearly hear the sound of the wall turning.

In the darkness, neither of them moved. They couldn't make any sound to attract Duan Lu Chong's attention. Situ Rui looked at Mu Yanchen in surprise, but Mu Yanchen just made a "mute" gesture. Based on his understanding of Mu Yanchen, Situ Rui didn't move at all, holding his breath and not taking the next step.

Until someone walked out from the strange turning sound, Duan Lu Chong did not pay attention to the abnormality in the secret passage but went straight to the banquet hall. The person on the phone was his confidant. He said that Dongling Pharmacy had found a way to delay the onset of the poison, and now Mu Yingfeng was announcing his successor!

Duan Luchong was unusually anxious. How could an accident happen in such a careful plan of his?

He even killed that woman, and there was no one in this world who could help them survive. However, he had to believe the words of his subordinates. They were his spies left in the banquet hall, and they were on the same boat with them, so there was no way they would betray him!

His role is to prevent that eventuality.

He ran quickly towards the exit of the secret passage. He already knew that the exit to the bathroom in the suite had been blocked by Mu Yanchen, so he chose the exit of another room.

At the same time, when Duan Lu Chong's figure walked away, Mu Yanchen and Situ Rui passed through the gap of the slowly rotating wall.

Situ Rui turned on the light of his phone and clicked his tongue twice, "I can't believe it. Your Mu family is so interesting. You actually dug a tunnel in your own house?"

Mu Yanchen glanced at him lightly, and he immediately fell silent. The secret passage could only accommodate one person, but because it was a straight road, the two of them quickly reached the end.

There was a wall at the end. The two tried to push it directly, but the wall didn't move at all.

Situ Rui used the only light from his phone to scan the entire wall and the places where it connected. It was smooth without a single bulge. "What's going on?"

Mu Yanchen also looked along the direction of his light. He reached out and touched the wall. It was obviously different from other places in the secret passage. The material used for this wall had almost melted into a smooth surface, making it impossible to find the difference based on inertial thinking.

He frowned slightly, and only at this moment could Situ Rui see a trace of anxiety on his face.

"How is it?" Situ Rui asked from the side.

Mu Yanchen didn't respond. He touched it very carefully, not missing even the smallest gap.

After rubbing almost the entire wall, Mu Yanchen turned his head and asked, "Did you bring anything hard?"

Situ Rui took out the intercom and his cell phone, looking a little funny, "Which one do you want?"

Mu Yanchen took the walkie-talkie from his left hand expressionlessly and said, "Keep shining."

Mu Yanchen was seen tapping the wall gently with the intercom, listening carefully to the sound, until he hit the intercom on a wall on the right, where a crisp sound different from other places came out.

Mu Yanchen knocked it repeatedly to make sure, then he put his hand on the piece and pushed hard inwards, using 50% of the strength, and the wall became dented right under his eyelids.

After waiting for about five minutes, the wall began to rotate visibly, revealing a simple, old room.

"Where exactly is this place?" Situ Rui asked in surprise.

Mu Yanchen's eyes were dark. He had a photographic memory, so of course he knew where this place was.

Mu Yingfeng brought him and his mother here before, but he got separated from his mother because he was too playful. After returning to Mu's house, his mother met her hellish end.

His voice was cold and chilling, and it was particularly eerie in this seemingly abandoned and old room. "This is an abandoned nursing home."

When he was sure it was this sanatorium, Mu Yanchen drew a picture of the past few years in his mind. He laughed out loud, "So that's how it is. No wonder..."
