"Our team leader said that a batch of medicinal herbs will be delivered to this room." Wei Che lowered his voice.

The familiar voice made Su Huaiyue pause, and she immediately stood up and opened the door. "Come in, chop the herbs for me and throw them into the pot to simmer for a while."

The guard looked embarrassed and stopped Wei Che, "The president has ordered that no one is allowed to contact Miss Su."

Su Huaiyue snorted coldly, "Do you still want your brother's life? I need help. This is the person you found to deliver the herbs. Do you know how to decoct the medicine better than them?"

The guard was speechless and finally let Wei Che in.

Wei Che stepped into the house and walked towards the medicine bowl in a busy manner.

The guard retreated outside the door, and Wei Che then asked quietly: "How are you? Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine. Have you seen Xiaotao? How is she?" Su Huaiyue thought that they must have come up the mountain because they saw Xiaotao.

"I fell down the mountain and was seriously injured, but it's okay. County Magistrate Chen and Lord Li have already found a way to treat me, so I'll be fine."

However, Su Huaiyue didn't expect that Wei Che was the only one going up the mountain. "Why are you the only one here?"

A hint of determination flashed across Wei Che's eyes as he whispered, "County Magistrate Chen originally wanted to lead his officers and soldiers here, but the villa is heavily guarded, and the forces behind it are deeply intertwined. A rash move would alert the enemy and endanger your safety. So I decided to disguise myself and sneak in first, investigate the situation, and then find an opportunity to rescue you."

Su Huaiyue felt warm in her heart, but she was also extremely worried. "This is too dangerous. Zhao Xingzhong is very cunning and has spies everywhere in the villa."

Wei Che gently held her hand and said, "Don't worry, I will be careful. The most urgent task is to find evidence of their collusion with the enemy country and overthrow this evil force to eliminate future troubles. Have you found anything here?"

Su Huaiyue nodded slightly. "I noticed that there's a secret room in Linfeng Villa that Zhao Xingzhong often visits. He always stays in the study for a while every time he goes. The entrance to the secret room might be related to some mechanism in the study, but I haven't found a way to crack it."

"Where is the study?"

"Go forward from here and find the second room on the right." Su Huaiyue was familiar with the terrain here and had identified some of the rooms that Zhao Xingzhong often entered.

As the two were talking, footsteps were heard outside the house.

Wei Che quickly let go of his hand and turned around to continue processing the herbs.

The door was pushed open and a burly man walked in. It was Zhao Xingzhong's confidant Liu Er.

Liu Er looked at Wei Che and said, "Miss Su, the president wants to see you."

Su Huaiyue's heart tightened, but she said calmly: "These patients still need me. If you have anything to say, wait until I'm done."

Liu Er sneered, "Miss Su, don't be ungrateful. You can't shirk the president's orders."

Wei Che felt a surge of anger in his heart, and just as he was about to explode, he was secretly stopped by Su Huaiyue.

Su Huaiyue put down the medicine in her hand and warned Wei Che, "You must be careful."

After Su Huaiyue left with Liu Er, Wei Che knew that time was running out.

He looked at the walls around him and found no windows. He used the momentum to jump onto the beam, lifted up a few tiles, and went out from above.

Wei Che hurriedly found the so-called study room according to Su Huaiyue's instructions.

He secretly lifted a tile, and there was no one inside.

After Wei Che entered, he began to carefully look for clues that might be related to the secret room mechanism.

There are various medicinal herbs and medical instruments placed in the house. They look ordinary, but there is no clue what they are.

Suddenly, he noticed a landscape painting hanging on the wall. A misty mountain in the painting caught his attention.

The outline and direction of the mountain are somewhat similar to the terrain of the villa.

He walked closer to take a closer look and found a line of inconspicuous small words in the lower right corner of the painting: "The clouds hide and the peaks turn, the mechanism appears."

Wei Che's heart moved, and he pondered these eight words over and over again.

He searched the room, trying to find clues related to "Yunyin Peak Turn".

At this time, he found a medicine grinder on the table, whose shape was somewhat similar to the mountain in the painting.

Wei Che walked forward and gently turned the medicine grinder.

Suddenly, there was a slight vibration in the house.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a bookshelf in the corner of the wall slowly moving, revealing a pitch-black hole.

Wei Che's heartbeat quickened. He took a deep breath and walked into the cave carefully.

The cave was filled with an old smell, and the passage was narrow and deep.

He groped forward, holding a dagger tightly in his hand to prevent any accidents.

After walking for a while, a ray of light appeared in front of us.

Wei Che took a closer look and found that it was a secret room.

There were several huge boxes in the secret room, and some pamphlets and papers were scattered on the table.

He walked quickly to the table and began to leaf through the pamphlet.

It actually recorded in detail the transactions between Zhao Xingzhong and Xizhao Kingdom, including the transportation routes of medicinal materials, transaction amounts, and their plans to subvert Southwest City.

Wei Che quickly stuffed the booklet into his arms and was about to leave when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the entrance of the secret room.

His heart sank and he immediately found a place to hide.

He hid behind the box and held his breath.

Zhao Xingzhong walked into the secret room with several of his men.

Zhao Xingzhong's face was gloomy and his eyes scanned around the secret room.

"It seems someone has been here." Zhao Xingzhong said coldly.

One of the men said in panic, "We've been watching outside the door, but we haven't seen anyone come in."

Zhao Xingzhong snorted coldly, "No matter who you are, don't even think about leaving here alive. Search them!

"President! Something terrible has happened!" At this moment, the guard's voice came from outside the door, "Several more brothers have been infected! They are suffering from vomiting and diarrhea, and have a high fever."

Zhao Xingzhong frowned. "What's going on? Su Huaiyue just said he was confident about this matter, how come someone else fell so soon? There's no effect!"

"This...we don't know either." The subordinates shrank back in fear, not daring to breathe.

"Where is Su Huaiyue?" Zhao Xingzhong narrowed his eyes and became furious when he thought of Su Huaiyue's confident look just now.

"Miss Su just had the guards send her back."

"Come on, you two come with me to find her, and the rest of you, turn this place upside down to find her!" As he said that, Zhao Xingzhong had already left with two of his men to find Su Huaiyue.

Zhao Xingzhong strode towards the room where Su Huaiyue was, the anger in his heart like a volcano about to erupt.

He kicked the door open, scaring the guard so much that he almost collapsed to the ground.

"Su Huaiyue, what the hell are you doing? Have the herbs been boiled? Why is someone still sick?" Zhao Xingzhong stared at Su Huaiyue with his eyes wide open and viciously.

Su Huaiyue stood up calmly with a calm smile on her face: "President Zhao, curing an illness is not something that can be done overnight. I have already tried my best. The symptoms of the newly ill brother are somewhat special. I still need time to study."
