After my soul traveled through time and space, I became the male protagonist Bai Yueguang

Shen Zhao didn't stay in Mu Daying's room for long.

She searched all the useful documents in the room. It's not that she found nothing, but the brief introduction was really limited. She only deduced that the firefly flower medicine had two extremes. If used properly, it could bring people back to life, but if used improperly, it would be a deadly poison that would send people to hell.

Although the night-eating flower can alleviate the poison caused by the firefly flower, it is ultimately only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure.

According to the law of biological growth, where a deadly poison grows, there must be an antidote to it growing nearby. Shen Zhao held the yellowed papers, his brows gradually showing worry.

In her current condition, she couldn't go to the Cai family at all, let alone find the antidote in the Cai family's territory!

Just as she was about to leave, she heard footsteps approaching in the corridor. There was more than one person. Although the footsteps had slowed down, the sanatorium was so quiet that even the chirping of insects became particularly noisy, and the footsteps became unusually prominent.

She clenched the silver needle in her hand. It was impossible for her to run out of the room at this time. Mu Daying's room was at the end of the corridor on the second floor, and the door faced the corridor. If she pushed the door open at this time, she would undoubtedly walk into a trap.

She quickly adjusted the light in the room so that she could see what was going on inside, but at the same time created a blurry effect. After doing this, she put the documents back in their original places, then found a curtain next to a cabinet, opened the curtain, and squatted at the window sill.

The window was half-closed behind the cabinet. She hid behind the cabinet so she was not afraid of the moonlight at night casting her shadow on the curtains. If she was discovered in this position, she could immediately jump out of the window. She glanced at the high gap and imagined the worst outcome. If she really jumped from the second floor, could she stand up and escape in an instant?

She glanced at the meter-high grass on the first floor that had been abandoned for a long time. The weeds had completely covered the original terrain, and even some larger stones could not be seen.

She closed her eyes and decided not to look. If it really came to that, she would just leave it to fate.

In Mu Yanchen's memory, the sanatorium was not very big, with only two floors. There was a public bathroom on each floor. One side of the corridor faced the lawn, which was for the patients living there to relax. The other side was the rooms. There were only more than 20 rooms on the two floors, which meant that there were not many patients living here.

Such a setting was unique in that year of material scarcity, and Cai Ninglian was arranged by Mu Yingfeng to live here.

This place is some distance away from the Mu residence, secluded and uninhabited, and is most suitable for detaining those who have lost power in the aristocratic families. It is called "recuperation", but in fact it is imprisonment and guarding.

Mu Yanchen looked back at the tightly closed wall. It was tightly closed. If he had not just come out of it, he would never have imagined that such a run-down sanatorium had such a close relationship with the Mu residence.

He suddenly laughed.

He didn't look down on anyone in the Mu residence, but he always let go of those outside the Mu residence! This was also the reason why Sheng Baiyi was able to be taken advantage of even under his nose!

The root of the problem lies with him!

Situ Rui only felt that Mu Yanchen's state at this moment was a little erratic, as if he was on the verge of losing control. There was a strange red at the end of his eyes, and he couldn't let go of anything. The corners of his mouth were pursed in a smile. He couldn't help but step forward, "Are you... okay?"

He asked very softly and cautiously. He had only seen him like this before when Sheng Baiyi died...

Mu Yanchen glanced at him suddenly, and the wind was as sharp as the cold wind on the snowy mountains, scraping his bones and biting him. It took him only a moment to regain his consciousness.

"It's okay, let's go."

They started with the first floor, searching room by room. As they had been abandoned for a long time, many rooms were covered with dust. The junctions between the roof and the windows were covered with spider webs. One could even see spiders staying on them, using their two legs to wrap around the prey that had just stuck to the web, binding it into a white cocoon with no possibility of escape.

“It doesn’t look like this one.”

Until the two of them came to a cleaner room on the first floor.

"Search it." Mu Yanchen said calmly.

Situ Rui acted quickly. When he found the dress and high heels that Shen Zhao was wearing tonight in the closet, he was stunned. He turned his head to look at Mu Yanchen, "Look."

Mu Yanchen took a few steps forward and took the clothes from Situ Rui's hand. He turned it over and when he saw the blood stains on it, his heart sank as if it was tied with a stone.

The bottom edge of the dress showed signs of wear and tear and no longer had the shine it had when it was first made.

His long eyelashes drooped, hiding the dark emotions in his eyes. From these clues, he could associate how Shen Zhao was kidnapped.

That man didn't have an ounce of pity, and treated Sheng Baiyi just like he was dragging her along the ground like an object. He could imagine the bloodstains left on her body, how painful that must have been!

"Come on, she's not here anymore, let's go up to the second floor."

Situ Rui was still in a daze, "Uh... um!"

The two of them walked quickly to the second floor, checking each room one by one. Every room was pitch black, except the one they pushed open.

There was a dim light inside, which was emitted by an old filament. There was no human voice at all, only the "beeping" sound of the instrument, the kind of sound that would only be heard when there was no longer a heartbeat.

"What's going on?" Situ Rui asked in a low voice.

"As you can see."

Mu Yanchen looked at the scene in the room coldly. Apart from being a little surprised at Cai Ninglian's death, Mu Daying's condition was what he could have anticipated.

"Who is this?" Situ Rui had already approached the bedside. He lowered his eyes and looked at the already stiff old lady.

He could tell that the old woman had been dead for some time.

"Cai Ninglian, Mu Yingfeng's legal wife."

Situ Rui opened his mouth and said, "Didn't Mu Yingfeng place his wife in a nursing home to enjoy the rest of her life? Why is she here, like she's imprisoned? Huh?"

He turned to look at the dead old woman, "Isn't this a nursing home?"

Mu Yanchen nodded almost imperceptibly.

"Oh my god! That's not what people say outside. They say Mu Yingfeng has fulfilled his responsibilities to his wife. What kind of responsibility is that?"

"But why is Mu Daiying here? Shouldn't she be at the Mu residence? That cowardly woman who has been a little hysterical since her brother's death."

Mu Yanchen walked to Mu Daiying's side, bent down slightly, and stretched out his hand to feel her neck. "She is still breathing."

Then he found a pinhole-sized drop of blood on the front of the collar. "I guess Shen Zhao is fine. She did it."
