Chapter 689 This place looks ominous.
"How could no one have any objections?"
Ye Siqing rambled on, "They said they came here to have fun, but they ended up in this situation. We don't even know if their lives are in danger..."
"But thankfully, since everyone is from the mystery club, they are all quite reasonable and calm."
Sheng Hanyu: Really? I noticed you two weren't very calm when you were arguing just now.
But he chose to remain silent and continue listening to Ye Siqing.
“Some people said that hiding all the time wasn’t going to work, and that we should go out and see what was going on, but Lu Dongli said that if you wanted to die, then go out.”
Ye Siqing recalled, "His expression was rather frightening, so I said a few words in his defense. After all, others might not know the situation of the Lu family, but I did know a little bit..."
Ye Siqing was also unwilling to stand on the same side as Lu Dongli, but this was not the time to be petty. If she went out and got hurt by someone, it would be a big problem.
However, he had only heard that the Lu family was embroiled in internal strife, but he never expected it to have escalated to this point of open conflict...
It doesn't seem to be the correct idiom, but whatever, it's gotten to the point where they've openly started fighting each other.
Sheng Hanyu nodded.
Only after Ye Siqing and Lu Dongli both said so did the crowd finally calm down.
"It's a good thing I came, otherwise if you were here... the consequences would be hard to predict."
Sheng Hanyu really wanted to pat Ye Siqing on the head, but Ye Siqing wasn't his biological brother... otherwise he would have already done it.
"I know, I won't run around like that next time, sigh..."
Ye Siqing was in a difficult situation. He wanted to send a message as soon as he arrived at the destination, but the message kept spinning and he couldn't send it at all.
At the time, no one took it seriously, assuming it was just poor signal, a common problem in mountainous areas. Little did they know it was actually a signal jammer...
"So what do you say now? Or should I arrange a place for you to rest?" Sheng Hanyu asked again.
"Can I come with you?" Ye Siqing asked hesitantly.
Sheng Hanyu: "What use are you?"
Ye Siqing: "I'm at least a medical worker, even if I'm only half-finished..."
"I find it hard to believe you in your current state," Sheng Hanyu said. "You should go back to your room."
Ye Siqing: ...
He is afraid!
With Sheng Hanyu and Xu Jingyan here, at least their surroundings should be safe, right?
Who knows what strange things might happen after he's left alone...
He didn't know why, even though Sheng Hanyu wasn't more than two years older than him, she seemed much more reliable...
“Your family’s bodyguards are here, so there’s nothing to be afraid of,” Sheng Hanyu said with a smile, noticing his expression.
Actually, it doesn't matter whether you bring her or not. Even if Ye Siqing can't help, at least she won't cause trouble.
However, he still needs to contact Lu Wangshen later to discuss Lu Dongli's matter, which makes things a bit complicated. It would be best to let Ye Siqing leave first.
“Okay, where do I live?” Ye Siqing asked.
“I’ve arranged a completely safe place for you to live with me,” Sheng Hanyu said.
Actually, it's not absolutely safe, after all, Lu Mingye was poisoned there before!
However, he has already sent people to check, and it is at least safe for now.
So they stayed at Lu Mingye's place that night.
Lu Wangshen is certainly safe from the outside, but internally... Sheng Hanyu is not very trusting of him, after all, Lu Wangshen seems like the kind of person who would put a lot of traps in his residence.
"Alright then, good luck." Ye Siqing said, and left with her bodyguard.
“Really…” Sheng Hanyu shook her head and walked out as well.
"I've already reported the matter of the Fourth Young Master being here to President Ye," Xu Jingyan said as he ran into Sheng Hanyu after finishing other miscellaneous tasks.
"Okay, I know."
They continued onward, their next step being to check on the situation of Old Master Lu and the others...
Old Master Lu lived in the deepest part, which was the real central area.
In fact, the Lu family's residences are all concentrated in this area, including Lu Dongli's, but his is closer to the outer perimeter.
It's clear he wasn't actually very favored; he just fits the description of him given by the Seventh Concubine...
The further in you go, the quieter it gets, so Sheng Hanyu stopped walking and had a shuttle bus brought over.
This area is so big that walking in would be exhausting... I'm speechless, why not just build an airport in their own home?
When he saw Old Master Lu's bunker, which resembled a defensive tower, he was even more speechless.
"I feel like I should have brought Lu Dongli along, otherwise I can't exactly parkour my way in like this," Sheng Hanyu complained.
He said that because it seemed the old man had no intention of opening the door, and besides, this wasn't a place where someone could shout and be heard...
If the other party is hiding in the basement, then the soundproofing is even better.
He didn't want to be shot down by an electromagnetic cannon.
There are no more electromagnetic cannons! Don't switch scenes!
“That should work,” Xu Jingyan said, pointing to the video doorbell on the side.
"Okay." Sheng Hanyu stepped forward and pressed the button.
Lu Wangshen has a high level of authority, but that doesn't include this location; otherwise, it would save him a lot of trouble.
"Who?"
The camera on the other side was blocked, and an unfamiliar, somewhat older female voice asked.
The second concubine who always stayed in the Buddhist hall?
"Hello, are you the First Madam?" Sheng Hanyu asked seriously.
Although she's called the second concubine, she should actually be addressed as the first wife.
"you are?"
The person on the other end did not relax their guard; instead, they continued to ask cautiously.
"I am Sheng Hanyu, from the Gong family of Beijing." Sheng Hanyu introduced herself and then stepped aside. "This is President Ye's special assistant, surnamed Xu. He is the Ye from the Ye family."
Sheng Hanyu believed that the second concubine's presence in the Buddhist hall was not merely a simple act of vegetarianism and chanting Buddhist scriptures. Upon hearing about these two families, she should have understood the current situation.
There was a moment of silence on the other end.
"You two come in, no one else is allowed in." After saying this, the communication was disconnected.
"President Sheng, this..." Xu Jingyan frowned.
This place looks ominous. It wouldn't matter if he went in himself, since that's his job, but Sheng Hanyu is a person of high status after all...
"Now that I'm here, I'll go in."
Sheng Hanyu dusted off his clothes and said.
His confidence wasn't due to wearing protective gear, nor was it confidence in his own skills, but rather...
Confidence in the situation.
It's hard to say what the second concubine's stance is, but what about the old master?
Whether his support for Lu Mingye is merely superficial or not, we'll find out once he's inside.
In other words, since Sheng Hanyu is on Lu Mingye's side today, he may have no choice but to support him.
"Okay, be safe."
Xu Jingyan took a step toward the automatically opening door and entered first.
There were no servants or other guides inside, but rather a brightly lit road.
It's obvious that this is the only path they want them to take.
The areas not illuminated by the lights on both sides were pitch black.
As Sheng Hanyu walked, he thought to himself, "It's no wonder that Lu Dongli and his detective club would come to this kind of place for activities. It seems that he's not the only one who thinks this is a natural location for murder mystery games."
"Xiao Sheng."
