At a young age, Hong Dingfeng walked out of his mansion and strolled towards the outside of the town. As soon as he left Jiyuan Town, he quickened his pace and came to an abandoned mine, and walked straight in.
Going all the way to the deepest part of the mine, Hong Dingfeng pushed away a wooden box, revealing the stairs leading down.
Taking out a candle from the Qiankun Ring and lighting it, Hong Dingfeng walked slowly down.
When the light of the candle completely disappeared in the passage, two figures walked to the passage at the same time.
"Good job." Jiang Beiran praised in a low voice.
"It's just a trivial matter." Standing aside, Gu Qinghuan cupped his hands towards his senior brother.
Many terrific and big cases are actually exposed because of the details, and the Hong family is no exception.
After Gu Qinghuan investigated the Hong family for a long time, there were many points worthy of investigation, but the most obvious point was that when he observed the Hong family eating lunch, he found that their tutors were very good. Finished the food on his plate.
In this way, the extra steamed buns in the kitchen seemed a little strange.
Of course, these steamed buns may also be for servants or for other purposes, so Gu Qinghuan specially asked Qin Cuirong to ask about it in the Eastern Kitchen.
After hearing Qin Cuirong tell him that East Chef steamed a few more steamed buns just happened in the past few days, Gu Qinghuan was basically sure that the matter Hong Yaxuan said that made several core members of the Hong family find it troublesome should be related to people. Some... people locked up.
So he squatted in Hong's residence for a day, and finally squatted at the young man of Hong's family who went outside the town at midnight.
Maybe it was because they didn't expect that someone would find out about them, so it can be said that the young master of the Hong family was not vigilant at all, and came to this abandoned mine without too much cover.
After finding this, Gu Qinghuan felt that it was almost done, so she came back and reported to her senior brother.
Knowing this, Jiang Beiran was worried that Hong Yaxuan would overreact if she found out that what she thought was a trivial matter was actually not small, so he decided not to let her participate in the subsequent actions.
It didn't take long before the sound of footsteps going upstairs, Hong Dingfeng walked out of the passage, pulled the box next to him back to cover the entrance of the passage, and left straight away.
When Hong Dingfeng walked away completely, Jiang Beiran, who came out of the dark again, just pushed open the box, and two options jumped out at the same time.
[Option 1: Let Gu Qinghuan deal with this matter. Completion reward: Lunar Eclipse Kill (Xuan-level mid-tier)]
[Option 2: Go down in person. Completion reward: random basic skill point +1]
'Well... It seems that this matter is really up to me. '
Cursing secretly, 'God thief', Jiang Beiran said to Gu Qinghuan: "You stay outside and watch, I'll go down and have a look."
"Yes." Gu Qinghuan cupped his hands.
Putting on Mingran, Jiang Beiran walked down the stairs.
When Hong Dingfeng went down just now, Jiang Beiran had already used his mental strength to realize that there were about a dozen people locked up below. In order to prevent them from seeing him yelling, Jiang Beiran put on Mingran.
'Good guy... not to mention all the single rooms, and they all set up soundproof formations. This Hong family is really rich and powerful, even the prison cells are built so richly. '
The darkness can't block Jiang Beiran's sight, so as soon as Jiang Beiran went down to the detention floor, he found that the cells here were all single rooms.
But just when he turned his head to see who were locked up here, his expression froze for a moment.
'Kong Qianqian! ? '
It was expected that Jiang Beiran had already thought of many possibilities, but he didn't expect it to be such a living treasure... Oh no, surprises are waiting for him.
For a moment, he somewhat understood why he was the one to do this matter, but the specific reason why he was the one to do it probably would not be known until he finished asking Kong Qianqian.
At this time, Kong Qianqian was squatting in the cell with a look of lovelessness on her face, her profound energy was sealed, and she couldn't exert any strength at the moment, so she could only look outside helplessly, but the deep darkness made her so hopeless.
"Woooooo... senior sister... master... woooooo..."
Kong Qianqian, who was sobbing softly, kept wiping away tears.
"do not Cry."
Just when Kong Qianqian's sobs were about to escalate into howls, a sudden voice frightened her and choked her.
"Who are you!? Come out if you have the ability! I'll fight with you! I'm... oh oh!"
Kong Qianqian just yelled halfway, her mouth was stuffed with a steamed bun, and she could only say "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu".
"Stop arguing, it's me."
After making sure that the system did not pop up any prompts, Jiang Beiran took off the crown and looked down at Kong Qianqian.
"First... Mister!?" Kong Qianqian, who was biting a steamed bun, was stunned, then hugged Jiang Beiran's thigh and said, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
Realizing that his mouth was still blocked by the steamed bun, Kong Qianqian raised his head and took the steamed bun out of his mouth, and continued howling; "Sir, we met in a dream, sir, you want to save me, Sir! Oops!"
In the middle of howling, Kong Qianqian covered his head and let out a cry of pain, his face full of grievances.
"Woo...why is it so painful to be beaten in my dream..."
"The pain means you're not dreaming. Sit down quickly. I have a few questions for you."
Swallowing the remaining steamed buns in his mouth, Kong Qianqian blinked and asked, "First... sir, are you really here to save me?"
Ignoring Kong Qianqian's question, Jiang Beiran said directly: "Tell me first, how did you get caught here, cry again and I'll leave."
"Oh!" Kong Qianqian, who always said what Mr. Ming said, quickly sat up straight and wiped his nose. Kong Qianqian replied, "I... I don't know. We went out to perform a mission the day before and suddenly rushed out on the way A group of people cut us off and I…”
"Gu~~"
At this time, there was a unique sound when I was hungry.
Looking at Kong Qianqian who was covering his stomach with his hands, Jiang Beiran asked strangely, "Are you hungry?"
"Hmm..." Kong Qianqian nodded.
"Didn't they send you steamed buns every day?"
"I... I dare not eat it, what if they put medicine in it, I still want to find a chance to escape and save my senior sister!"
Jiang Beiran almost laughed out loud after hearing this. Unexpectedly, this girl is usually in a daze, but she has ideas at critical moments.
Taking out some cakes from Qiankun Ring, Jiang Beiran handed them to Kong Qianqian and said, "Eat it, this is not poisonous."
"Thank you, sir!" Kong Qianqian grabbed the pancakes and devoured them hungrily.
"What happened after you were stopped?"
Kong Qianqian answered vaguely while chewing the cooking cakes after hearing this: "I didn't even see their faces clearly, but my eyes went dark, and when I woke up, I was locked in a cellar... Sir, Is there any water?"
Kong Qianqian, who ate a large piece of cooking cake in one go, looked up at Jiang Beiran.
Taking out a water bottle and handing it to Kong Qianqian, Jiang Beiran then asked, "What about later?"
"Gudu Gudu Gudu..." Kong Qianqian continued to reply after taking a big sip of water, "Later we were locked up for several days, and one day the door of the cellar was suddenly opened, and several people walked in from outside."
Jiang Beiran was about to ask Kong Qianqian to describe what those people looked like when she heard her say, "Then my eyes went dark again, and when I woke up, I was here."
'Alas... this child is also very pitiful. '
After taking two more bites of the pancake, Kong Qianqian suddenly remembered something and shouted: "Sir! Senior Sister! Senior Sister has also been arrested, please save her."
But Jiang Beiran frowned and said, "Mu Yao? She's not here."
Before entering Kong Qianqian's cell, Jiang Beiran also looked at the other prisoners in the cell, and finally found that Kong Qianqian was a familiar face, so he had no choice but to ask her.
"What!? The senior sister is not here!?" Kong Qianqian exclaimed, and all the pancakes in her hand fell to the ground.
