He noticed something was wrong as soon as he stepped into the room; it was incredibly messy.

Perhaps knowing full well that the door to his room was impenetrable, the dean didn't conduct any search at all, but simply quietly tidied up the somewhat messy equipment on his lab table.

Just as An Ning was about to continue walking forward, someone suddenly called out his name, "An Ning?"

Jiang Yu's pupils dilated, and without further hesitation, he immediately walked out.

It was as if she was firmly welded to the table, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move it an inch.

An Ning looked in the direction Qi Huan was looking, but saw no one, only a large iron barrel.

If there were any other people present, Qi Huan would certainly not have lost this argument, but with no cameras and no one else around, he really didn't have the time.

After they finished circling around, a loud cracking sound rang out, and a large hole appeared in the wall not far from them.

"Huh?" "What?!"

But he didn't care at all. He just quietly looked around, then a faint smile appeared on his lips, and walked straight toward the hole in the wall.

Brother Yu? Jiang Yu?

The iron gate was as if it were welded shut; she couldn't even press the doorknob, let alone open the door and walk out.

After saying that, whether as a patch or something else, she added, "Of course, it's also possible that I'm overthinking it."

Perhaps.

Jiang Yu hesitated for a long time before taking a step outside, trying to find the person who had kicked the door open.

However, he arrived at the perfect time. Ji Yan and her group hadn't even had a chance to do anything before he arrived, and the outcome was self-evident.

At this point, Jiang Yu stopped talking and concluded, "That's about it. I've finished explaining. Now, can you tell me how you got in?"

An Ning remained expressionless despite the questioning, simply saying, "Guess what it might be. Maybe it's what you're thinking."

His tone was brimming with confidence, and his face seemed to scream "Praise me!"

She immediately frowned, glancing around, but didn't see anyone standing nearby.

Unfortunately, none of the patients' rooms had such a thing.

This also includes some of the evidence against him.

It was Qi Huan's voice.

Qi Huan shook his head. "No, I know what's used to preserve corpses, but why is there formaldehyde here?"

The solution inside, which might have contained formaldehyde, had been completely drained by An Ning's actions. The iron barrel, which was originally difficult to move, could now be easily lifted by Jiang Yu. After lifting it, a clear sound of something hitting the barrel could be heard from inside. Qi Huan didn't want to imagine what was inside, so she frowned and forcibly looked away.

But what An Ning said the next second startled him.

She remained silent, silently following behind them, silently moving forward with them.

But how difficult is it to smash down a door?

This attitude was completely different from Qi Huan's before, so when Jiang Yu saw Qi Huan so enthusiastically inviting him to move the iron bucket, he was a little confused, but he still went.

"Of course..."

As they walked, she said, "Anning, do you know what this is?"

So Jiang Zhongwei immediately ran to the basement, afraid that someone would touch his things.

“Anning?” he suddenly asked, and received a response.

"Yes, that's me."

"Let's use corpse soaking water."

It was to confirm Anning's identity.

Just when they were about to collapse, a loud noise came from the door not far away.

The moment she finished speaking, Qi Huan also spoke up, "Brother Yu?"

Jiang Yu feigned shock, his tone exaggerated, "That amazing?"

His tone was indifferent; he was incredibly calm.

But no matter how fast she wanted to walk, it was no use, because the door had already been opened, and the sound of footsteps was approaching. Ji Yan wished she could turn into thin air and disappear here, rather than face this unexpected person.

Since the patients had all left their rooms, it would have been as easy for them to enter those rooms as it is for them to breathe, but that was useless because that wasn't what they wanted; what they wanted was a way to get out.

No one else had any idea how long he would stay there.

He then saw a figure that was extremely familiar.

After An Ning left with Qi Huan, the remaining six people originally planned to split into three groups. However, before setting off, someone suddenly suggested that they should act together. Thus, the six people who originally planned to act separately ended up together and wandering around on the first floor.

Before she could finish speaking, Qi Huan quickly interjected, "Then I kicked the door down!"

Anning didn't recognize who was speaking, but she quickly replied, "Yes, that's me."

Seeing this, Jiang Yu immediately fell silent and walked towards An Ning.

Ji Yan and her group ended in failure, desperately hiding in this underground room.

There are absolutely no tools here that can be used to break down the door.

Following behind him was Xu Jiayi, who hadn't uttered a word from beginning to end.

They wished they could flee the scene immediately.

When Ji Yan saw the door close, her mind went blank. After a few seconds, she suddenly stepped forward and pushed the door open.

His tone was casual, as if he didn't take the matter seriously at all.

That was his basement, where all his precious belongings were kept.

No matter how he tried to persuade them, the security guards acted as if they hadn't heard him and continued to block his way. There was no other way; if they wouldn't listen to reason, he had to resort to force.
