Turnaround Life: The Rebirth Elegy of the Wealthy Wife

"Mr. Jiang~Mr. Jiang~"

Jiang Kaichen was having his cognition refreshed by Tang Wenwan, and was trying hard to organize the words in his mind to keep up with her rhythm, when he heard Wang Feng's call outside the bathhouse.

Hawkeye chuckled in displeasure, hesitated for just a second, stretched out his long arm, scooped Tang Wenwan out of the hot spring, and walked out with her in his arms.

"He's calling me now so something serious must have happened. I'm going to go out and take a look. You don't need to soak in the water anymore. You're pregnant and it won't be good for you to soak in the water for too long."

He gave instructions to the little person in his arms as he walked.

"Be good, take a rest and wait for me. I will come back and confess everything."

He put the person on the tatami in the inner room of the bathhouse. After thinking for a while, he was still worried and gave one more warning, fearing that the villain would escape again if he was unhappy.

"Our people on the periphery have detected Victor's men searching the entire area."

This Russian oligarch named Victor transferred assets due to the war and entrusted Zhengda Company to help them handle the transaction. Unexpectedly, they were robbed by the gangs. In a fit of rage, they blew up the headquarters building of Zhengda and are now seeking the person in charge of Zhengda worldwide.

Wang Feng reported with a nervous look on his face, beads of cold sweat oozing out of his forehead because of worry.

This time, Victor took ruthless measures to capture Jiang Kaichen, and sent out mercenaries composed of former members of the Russian Intelligence Agency and special forces.

These people are extremely conspicuous on the streets of Kyoto, and the search speed is astonishingly fast.

"I will take Wanwan to the temple through the secret passage to take shelter. You quickly contact the prince and tell him to come to the temple and find a way to get us out."

There was a chill in Jiang Kaichen's eagle eyes, and a dangerous aura quickly surrounded him.

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the inner room.

"Wanwan, we have to leave now."

Tang Wenwan, who was sitting on the tatami and wiping her hair with a towel, was then held horizontally in a man's arms.

"Victor's mercenaries have already chased us to Kyoto. Let's take shelter in the temple first. The prince will find a way to pick us up."

Jiang Kaichen hurriedly walked out carrying the person in his arms, while trying to explain everything in detail.

The girl's soul-searching questioning over the past two days made him dare not hide anything anymore.

"Is there a secret passage?"

Tang Wenwan, who heard in the afternoon that there would be a danger of being chased, hugged Jiang Kaichen's neck with both hands. At this time, she was not panicked at all, but asked with great interest.

"I bought this house at that time because there was an unknown underground secret passage between it and the temple."

Jiang Kaichen clenched his hands, quickened his pace and explained softly.

"Actually, this is the old house of the Hashimoto Yuki family. I'll tell you about the origin of this house when I have time."

Fearing that Tang Wenwan might question him, he specifically highlighted the key points, but as he was watching all directions, he really wasn't in the mood to elaborate at this time.

The entrance to the secret passage of the ancient house is located in an abandoned hut hidden in green plants next to the bathhouse, surrounded by thick dust and thin spider webs.

The door had fallen into disrepair over the years, and the cracked wooden panelling gave off a smell of dampness and rotten wood.

When you push open the door and enter, humidity fills the air, making you feel stuffy and humid.

Faint light shone through the cracks in the wall, illuminating a narrow passage ahead.

The walls of the passage are built with rough stones, following the imprint of ancient craftsmanship and history.

On both sides of the passage were rows of low stone lamps, with tiny flickering flames in their wicks, casting soft glows and vague shadows on the walls.

The passage was empty and deserted, with only the breeze flowing softly through the maze-like corridors.

Occasionally, tiny drops of water fall on the ground, making a faint dripping sound.

All this makes people feel a sense of silence and mystery, as if entering a dark world isolated from the outside world.

Tang Wenwan had never expected such an environment. She subconsciously hugged Jiang Kaichen's neck tightly in the dark, but she still felt a little fear in her heart.

Jiang Kaichen felt her nervousness, slowed down his pace, and hugged her tightly to his chest.

He stared straight ahead and walked quite slowly. From time to time, the slight sound of water reached his ears, accompanied by the faint echo of the passage, which made their heartbeats accelerate.

As they walked, the secret passage gradually widened, and at the end, they finally saw a huge stone door.

Jiang Kaichen stopped in front holding Tang Wenwan, then slowly put her down and gently pushed open the door.

Outside the door, the moonlight illuminates a quiet bamboo forest, and the familiar Luohanpo comes into view.

"Wow, this passage actually leads to my studio!"

When Tang Wenwan saw the familiar scene in front of her, she immediately forgot her previous nervousness and jumped up excitedly.

"Jiang Kaichen, how many secrets do you have that I don't know?"

She excitedly climbed onto Jiang Kaichen's body again, and was so happy that it felt like she was playing an escape room game.

Jiang Kaichen gently hugged her waist, gave her five seconds to rejoice, and then said with a serious expression:

"I'll have to ask you to come back tonight. We'll rest here for the time being and wait for the prince's support."

"Why would I feel wronged to go back to the temple? This is my territory!"

Tang Wenwan was still immersed in the surprise and was a little too proud of herself.

Suddenly there was a freeze frame.

"Will we attract that group of people to the temple and put Master and the others in danger?"

Seeing Jiang Kaichen's tense expression, Tang Wenwan finally reacted belatedly.

She grabbed Jiang Kaichen and asked nervously.

"Probably not for now, but they will soon search the temple, so staying here is not a long-term solution."

Jiang Kaichen looked down at her, frowning, and answered truthfully.

"Should we inform the Master?"

Tang Wenwan immediately understood that Jiang Kaichen was unwilling to implicate her, and she felt guilty.

"The activation switch of this secret passage is connected to Master Hashimoto's Zen room. He should be aware of our situation by now."

Jiang Kaichen also felt Tang Wenwan's apology, and tightened his hands on his waist to comfort her.

"Wanwan, you are here as expected. Master asked me to pick you up for tea."

Before Tang Wenwan had time to discuss countermeasures and remedial measures with Jiang Kaichen, Hashimoto Yuki's voice came from not far away.

"Where did you come from? I was at the Luohan Hall in front of the door today, and I didn't see you come in."

Hashimoto Xue greeted Tang Wenwan with a smile, and pulled her into her arms as she spoke.

It seems that Hashimoto Xue doesn't know about this secret passage. Tang Wenwan looked at Jiang Kaichen and was a little hesitant about whether to tell her about this.

"I heard you're pregnant? Master even prepared a pregnancy-protecting tea for you tonight. Why did you come just now?"

Before I could figure out how to start the conversation, Hashimoto Yuki decisively changed the subject, as if she didn't care at all about the strangeness of their origin.

"Let's go. It looks like your master has been waiting for a while. Don't let the tea get cold."

Jiang Kaichen pushed Tang Wenwan's waist and moved her forward, successfully helping her to temporarily put aside her chaotic thoughts.
