Letting him go is impossible; Chuzheng found him too noisy and thought of ways to shut him up.

In the end, Lan Chen could only glare at Chuzheng with eyes blazing.

"Looking at me like this, I’m really scared," Chuzheng said expressionlessly, showing no hint of fear.

Not only was she not scared, she impatiently flipped Lan Chen over, pressing him face down onto the ground.

Li Tian appeared frightened, looking at her with terror, lips trembling, not daring to utter a word.

Brother Gao knew negotiating with Chuzheng was useless, his face gradually darkening as he gritted his teeth, asking, "What do you want to do?"

"I don’t want to do anything."

What could I possibly do to you all? I’m a successor of socialism, I’m a good person!

Brother Gao: "..."

"Tell me, why did you decide to come here?" Her pale fingers motioned in the air, "Mr. Gao, you first."

"I mentioned before, it’s because of Qingqing," Brother Gao replied.

Yao Qing nodded with tears, speaking weakly for Brother Gao, "It’s... it’s because of me, Brother Gao decided to come find the Xia Yi Clan because of me."

Chuzheng uttered an "oh": "Then how did you determine this place?"

"..."

Brother Gao frowned, after a moment said, "When we decided to find the original place, we suddenly received an anonymous email."

The email contained quite a bit of information and marked this location.

"What about you?" Chuzheng kicked Lan Chen.

"Ugh ugh ugh..."

Lan Chen murmured something unintelligible, so Chuzheng had to remove the tape from his mouth.

"Liu Chuzheng you b****, I’ll kill you..."

Chuzheng stepped forcefully on Lan Chen’s back, fiercely saying, "Lan Chen, get it clear, your life is now in my hands, answer my questions."

Lan Chen: "..."

Lan Chen shivered inexplicably, panting heavily.

Initially, Lan Chen’s intended destination wasn’t here, as his goal was to capture the main target.

Just find a place with nice scenery, not too dangerous, suitable for romance, no need to come to such a place.

But the night before departing, Lan Chen also received an anonymous email.

The content matched Brother Gao’s.

After thinking it over, Lan Chen directly changed the flight to come here.

"So someone lured you here?" Chuzheng raised an eyebrow, "Who is this person?"

At first, on the same route, Brother Gao had probed Lan Chen about why he chose this place, but Lan Chen didn’t give any useful information, just mentioned a friend’s recommendation.

Seeing that Lan Chen and the others were quite young, not seeming like professionals, although Brother Gao was cautious inside, he didn’t delve deeper.

Later, Lan Chen voluntarily brought out a notebook, explaining why he came here.

No matter who this person is, definitely they were the ones who moved Xiao Mo and Xiao Qiu’s bodies here.

Chuzheng suddenly asked, "Where’s Gan Lu?"

"We got separated earlier," Brother Gao frowned, "You suspect her?"

"You said it." I didn’t.

"Impossible, Gan Lu and I have known each other many years," Brother Gao said, "She has no reason to do this."

Gan Lu was also uninvolved in past events.

She joined this trip by his invitation.

"Brother Gao, you’re mistaken."

Gan Lu’s voice unexpectedly rang out, she emerged from a hole, unaffected, standing there.

She still looked sharp and efficient.

Brother Gao’s eyes widened, "Gan Lu?"

How could this be...

"How did you... impossible."

Gan Lu, instead, confirmed coolly for Brother Gao: "It’s me."

Brother Gao took a while to regain his voice, raising it sharply, "Why are you doing this! We’ve known each other for so many years, what do you want?"

Gan Lu glanced at Chuzheng, her usual cold smile, "This matter originally had nothing to do with you; you insisted on getting involved, blame your bad luck."

The ’you’ referred to her and Li Tian.

Others were involved in past events, while Xiao Mo, Xiao Qiu, and Xie Ningfeng were already dead...

Gan Lu’s tone shifted: "Why? You’ll find out soon."

As Gan Lu’s voice fell, sounds emerged from several entrances, as heavy stone doors moved down, trapping everyone inside.

Chuzheng merely glanced around, showing no urgency.

Gan Lu’s face, always either mocking or cold, now showed a hint of a genuine smile, "I should thank you Miss Liu, for helping tie them up."

Chuzheng seriously replied, "You’re welcome."

Gan Lu: "..."

Gan Lu always felt Chuzheng was unpredictable, now the feeling intensified.

Facing this situation, she displayed no emotional shift...

Brother Gao calmed down slightly, "Did you move Xiao Mo and the others’ bodies here?"

"Yes."

"How did you find the time? You were always with us."

"She left," Chuzheng said nonchalantly.

After being surrounded by wolves, Gan Lu did leave briefly, what she did then, no one knew.

The passages interconnected; they felt they had walked a long way, perhaps a shortcut existed.

She had all the time she needed.

But...

Chuzheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, "Who is your accomplice?" Although Gan Lu had time, she couldn’t do it alone.

"Ha."

Gan Lu laughed heartily.

"You’re indeed smart."

"Thank you," Chuzheng humbly replied.

"..."

Gan Lu quickly adjusted her expression, looking at the quiet man with a lowered head, "Dad."

Most at the scene showed shock.

What did Gan Lu just call?

"He’s your father?"

Uncle Min lifted his head, his face aged and weathered: "Ah."

Gan Lu wanted to go free Uncle Min’s bonds, but Chuzheng wouldn’t let her, waving a hand.

Gan Lu felt something brush past her ear.

She raised a hand to wipe, seeing her cheek had been cut.

"You best not move; it’s easy for me to kill you," Chuzheng’s voice was calm, still confident and composed.

Gan Lu pinched the sticky blood, speaking ambiguously, "Do you think this is still a place where you hold sway?"

"If I wish."

Nothing’s impossible.

Gan Lu: "..."

Uncle Min gestured to Gan Lu not to move.

Brother Gao gritted his teeth, "Uncle Min, Gan Lu... what’s going on? You’ve deceived us, what are you planning?"

"After so many years, it’s time to understand," Uncle Min’s voice was wistful, "Back then, more than five got out alive, my father among them."

Previously, Uncle Min told Brother Gao he stayed outside, didn’t go up, and midway needed to stay due to stomach issues.

This part Uncle Min told the truth.

When he returned, he saw those five drenched in blood, looking odd upon exiting.

He hid away in fear.

He witnessed those left below being killed by them.
