"Lu Tianxing, don’t worry, think carefully, is there any place we haven’t searched yet? Maybe the Wang Family is hiding Qian Ru sowhere." Bai Zhiqing softly consoled.
"I know, no matter what, I must find Qian Ru today." Lu Tianxing said heavily.
"Mr. Lu." At this mont, Mu Qingxue suddenly spoke.
"Miss Mu, do you have sothing to tell ?"
Lu Tianxing’s gaze fell on Mu Qingxue.
"Mr. Lu, I know there’s another place in the Wang Family’s residence, I wonder if you’ve searched it."
"What did you say? Miss Mu, you know?"
As soon as the words fell, Lu Tianxing appeared in front of Mu Qingxue, tightly grabbing her arm, his face full of excitent.
Mu Qingxue was startled by Lu Tianxing, her brow furrowed slightly, she softly said, "I... I’m not sure if it’s true, I overheard it from a mber of the Wang Family. He said they have many hidden chambers, but one is particularly secret, not in a room but underwater. I suspect if they wanted to hide Lin Qianru, they might have used this chamber."
This secret was sothing she overheard from a drunken young master of the Wang Family at a ball with her brother. She might not have rembered it had she not seen Lu Tianxing’s urgency.
"Underwater, underwater, apart from an artificial lake, the Wang Family has no other place to build a chamber. If what that Wang Family mber said is true, Lin Qianru must be hiding there."
Excitent flashed in Lu Tianxing’s eyes, and he imdiately said, "Manman, let’s go, check around the artificial lake."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Tianxing dashed towards the direction of the artificial lake, ignoring any words of thanks to Mu Qingxue.
Mandala paused for a mont but quickly followed him. Although she had searched everywhere in the Wang Family’s residence, she hadn’t checked the artificial lake, as who would expect a hidden chamber beneath a lake.
At this ti, on the left of the Wang Family’s Mansion, there lay an artificial lake the size of a football field. Unlike the usual glistening moonlit waters, this lake now filled one with dread, the water no longer clear but dyed red with blood, glistening eerily under the moonlight.
Lu Tianxing, Mandala, and the following Fu Tu and Tie Niu quickly began searching around the shore.
The hurriedly following Bai Zhiqing and the other won did not hesitate as they joined the search for the chanism.
Since it’s an underwater chamber, there must be a chanism to open it, and it wouldn’t be too far away. If it’s a hidden chamber, finding the opening chanism is crucial, as forcibly opening it might cause the chamber to collapse, along with everyone inside.
The entire lake was silent, with only the sounds of the search.
"Brother, co quickly, I found it."
Minutes later, Mandala’s voice suddenly rang out.
Upon hearing Mandala, Lu Tianxing instantly appeared beside her, "Manman, what is it, did you find sothing?"
"Brother, look at this pillar. I tested each pillar in this pavilion. The other three are solid, but although this one appears solid, there’s a hollow part in the middle. A gentle press might push it in. Brother, do you think this could be the chanism?" Mandala stood nervously by Lu Tianxing.
"Manman, step aside, let try."
Hearing Mandala, Lu Tianxing tapped gently on the pillar, quickly locating the hollow section in the center. He gently pressed it.
"Click!"
Next mont, a sound reached everyone’s ears.
Mandala, realizing sothing, quickly beca tense, her eyes focused intently on Lu Tianxing’s actions.
Lu Tianxing’s eyes were fixed on the pillar, his forehead now covered in sweat.
At this mont, fear began to creep in, fearing another disappointnt. If he couldn’t find Lin Qianru again, the hope of finding her would fade away. Beijing is vast; finding Lin Qianru is like finding a needle in a haystack. Even with help from the Yanhuang Group and Angel Intelligence Station, it might be futile.
A feeling of anxiety instantly perated Lu Tianxing.
anwhile, Bai Zhiqing, Lin Yafei, Mu Qingxue, and others held their breath, eyes fixed on their surroundings, not missing a single movent.
As each second ticked by, ten minutes quickly elapsed.
Just when everyone was filled with disappointnt, Mu Qingxue’s voice suddenly rang out, filled with excitent, "The water, the water is changing, Mr. Lu, look, the water is changing."
Upon hearing Mu Qingxue, everyone turned their gaze towards the lake surface.
"Gasp!"
Seeing the changes on the lake, everyone couldn’t help but gasp.
The originally calm lake surface suddenly transford; a huge vortex appeared in the center, the surrounding water stirring madly into the vortex. Within re minutes, the once full lake nearly vanished.
"Concrete lakebed."
Seeing the exposed lakebed, everyone was surprised. The lakebed was not a mudflat but concrete, unlike other areas filled with mud. From the shore, a concrete path extended to the center, with little mud on it, evidently regularly cleaned by soone.
"Rumble!"
As everyone was shocked, a rumbling sound ca from the center of the lake, and the concrete surface slowly shifted aside, revealing a staircase leading downward.
"Lu Tianxing, what are you still doing there, hurry and check inside, maybe Qian Ru is in there." Bai Zhiqing urged.
"Yes, I have to see, I’ll go right away."
Lu Tianxing’s gaze fixed on the staircase in the lake’s center, his body trembling. This ti, his heart was full of anxiety; what if Lin Qianru wasn’t there, what if she had been killed, if she’s not here, where could she be.
Various questions swirled in Lu Tianxing’s mind, unable to calm his restless heart.
