Chapter 1713: Chapter 1713

After you entered the passage for three minutes, Li Qiyi finally approached cautiously with Cen Nong. Although she hadn’t figured out how to enter the wall earlier, her cleverness soon led her to discover the sensor hidden behind the Wealth Tree. Once the wall opened, the two women exchanged glances again.

"CEO Cen, I’m afraid it’s dangerous. I suggest we leave first."

Instinct told Li Qiyi that this matter might bring trouble, or even life-threatening danger, to both of them. Thus, she intentionally advised Cen Nong.

Cen Nong thought for a moment and said, "If that’s the case, I should go in even more so."

Li Qiyi sighed softly, "Alright, today I will risk my life and accompany you." Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑~𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖾~𝖓𝖊𝖙

After the two women entered the passage, the wall door automatically closed. The lights in the hallway ahead came on again, illuminating everything around them.

The two women proceeded with caution, walked about ten meters along the corridor, and found an elevator in front of them.

Once more exchanging glances, Li Qiyi pressed the button, and soon the elevator door opened, revealing no one inside.

Despite her fear, Cen Nong entered first, leaving Li Qiyi no choice but to follow.

Once the elevator door closed, they found several buttons inside, labeled 1 to 9.

Cen Nong asked Qiyi, "This is troublesome. Which floor do you think he went to?"

Li Qiyi thought for a moment and said to Cen Nong, "It should be 9. The digits here aren’t arranged like a regular elevator, where lower numbers are at the bottom and higher ones at the top. Here, it’s the reverse. Since Li Jiu came to investigate, it’s very likely he’d go to the lowest floor because, normally, that’s where secrets are most likely hidden."

Cen Nong nodded and pressed the number nine.

Once the button lit up, the elevator brought the two women to the underground ninth floor.

The elevator wasn’t slow, yet the two women felt that the time passed unusually long. Moreover, as time went by, they felt the surroundings grew increasingly cold.

When the elevator door opened, a long corridor appeared before them, similar to before, but with occasional door handles on either side. Meanwhile, there were no windows or decorations on the walls, just carvings of strange symbols.

Li Qiyi frowned more and more as she examined these symbols. Seeing this, Cen Nong asked, "Little Yun, what did you discover?"

Li Qiyi stepped forward, carefully scrutinized each symbol, and said to Cen Nong with a grave expression, "CEO Cen, I think we are in big trouble this time. These symbols originate from some ancient documents. Although I’m not certain of their meaning, generally only a heretical organization would use them. I once watched a documentary on the Jingtian Continent where during the crackdown on a heretical arson case, they broke into their headquarters, and strange symbols like these were carved on the walls and doors."

As they were talking, Cen Nong suddenly covered her nose and asked Li Qiyi, "Little Yun, do you smell something strange?"

Li Qiyi sniffed slightly, her expression changed drastically, and she immediately grabbed Cen Nong’s hand, quickly running toward the elevator, "We’ve been discovered."

But, just a few meters from the elevator, they suddenly felt the sky-spinning sensation, and both collapsed. In a haze of consciousness, Li Qiyi saw several shadows approaching them.

You didn’t take the elevator down like Li Qiyi and Cen Nong. After all, doing so would expose you completely to the enemy.

Generally, indoor elevators, especially hidden ones, would certainly have a dedicated maintenance tunnel.

Upon entering the elevator, you first opened the vent on the elevator’s top, leaped onto the rooftop, and crawled out. After exiting, you sealed the vent again. While Li Qiyi and Cen Nong rode the elevator, you were precisely above them.

Every floor has a dedicated maintenance tunnel. Around the third floor, you reached out and caught hold of the slightly extending tunnel entrance. Consequently, you were unaware that the most important women in your life were currently in extreme peril.

The maintenance passage wasn’t long, and after climbing for about one to two minutes, you entered a small enclosed room filled with boxes and tools.

Just as you were preparing to enter the room through the vent, the door suddenly opened, and two figures quickly entered. They shut the door immediately as they entered, leaving the room dimly lit. They didn’t turn on the lights, but locked the door behind them, began to engage in activities together, and you could faintly hear the sound of clothes rustling, the woman’s moans, and the man’s heavy breathing.

"Don’t be so eager," the woman suddenly held the man back at a critical moment, her voice playful, "Tell me, where did you all go last night? Why did you break your promise last night?"

"Ah, my dear aunt, I’m on fire here. That perverted Jerris gave us drugs that are too strong. Come on, let me do it while I tell you." As he spoke, the man roughly tore open the woman’s collar.

While you were hiding in the tunnel, hesitating whether to knock the two people unconscious, the woman spoke again, "Hey, tell me, where exactly did you go last night?"

"Hehe, last night’s battle was spectacular."

The man said, "Last night, Jerris and the Earl both went out, leading us to carry out a special mission."

The woman raised her head and asked, "What mission?"

"You know, I killed a man last night."
