Chapter 280 Dungeon

Ye Lin turned a deaf ear to Ah Hui's words, with a sullen face and without saying a word, he quickly walked towards the basement surrounded by bodyguards.

The castle basement is currently divided into two parts.

Part of it is used for storage, where some red wine, food, sundries and other items are stored.

Part of it is used as a warehouse, which is filled with valuable items such as famous paintings, gold bars, antiques, etc. Bodyguards take turns guarding outside the warehouse every day.

When Ye Lin and his men rushed to the basement, the bodyguards who were guarding the warehouse today were carrying boxes out, and it seemed that they were planning to run away with the valuables.

Seeing this group of people in twos and threes, struggling to carry boxes and moving slowly out, their speed was comparable to that of a turtle.

Ye Lin was so anxious that his eyes were blazing with anger. He scolded them, "It's already late, and you're still carrying all this! Each of you take something that's convenient for you and get out quickly."

The bodyguards didn't want to lift it either. If they weren't afraid that their things would be lost and their entire family wouldn't be able to pay for it, who wouldn't want to escape?

Now that the eldest young master had spoken, they didn't need to compensate for the things, and the group of people immediately scattered, picking up the things closest to them, either holding a painting or carrying a vase, and quickly retreated.

Although there are many bodyguards at home, only five or six of them can defuse bombs.

Ye Lin, along with these bodyguards and the troublesome Ah Hui, began to conduct a carpet search in the basement. After a while, the originally neat and orderly basement changed drastically, as if the Japanese invaders had entered the village.

Grains in the granary mixed with vegetables and cheese were scattered all over the floor, the wine cellar was turned upside down, and a group of people were running around with their feet splattering with red wine. The jewelry and gold bars in the warehouse were turned all over the place, and people would get hurt by the gold bars that fell on the ground from time to time.

"Master, no explosives were found in the wine cellar."

"Master, there's no granary."

"There's none in the warehouse."

"Young Master..."

Hearing the reports coming back one after another, Ye Lin's blood vessels pounded violently. He rubbed his blood vessels that were about to break, and tried hard to recall where else in the house he could hide explosives.

To blow up the main building of Fairburn Castle, about 700 to 800 kilograms of high explosives would be needed. If these explosives were piled together, they would be at least one meter long, wide and high.

The explosives were too big, and Louis couldn't have put them upstairs where people came and went every day. Moreover, to blow up a castle, the best blasting point was the foundation, so the explosives must have been hidden in the basement.

Ye Lin paced anxiously on the spot, with a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

All the places that should be looked for have been searched. He just went for a round inspection and the bodyguards really didn't miss anything. What did they forget?

He had lived in this castle since he was a child, and was familiar with every corner and every brick. He and Daniel had run around in every nook and cranny, except...

Ye Lin's mind went blank for a moment.

Suddenly, he remembered a place he had never been to and was strictly forbidden by Irene and Rebecca to approach - the castle dungeon.

At the deepest part of the basement, there is a secret door integrated into the wall.

Originally, this was the dungeon where the Fairburn family held prisoners. It was gradually abandoned during the time of Ye Lin's great-grandfather.

Irene and Rebecca believed that too many people had died in the dungeon and that there were vengeful spirits lingering there, making it an ominous place. They never allowed Ye Lin and Daniel to get close to it.

Not to mention the servants, many of whom didn't even know there was a dungeon in the castle.

It's indeed a good place to hide explosives.

"Master, where is the door?"

Ah Hui didn't know that the castle had a dungeon. He was now lying on the stone wall, identifying the cracks one by one. The bodyguard following behind him couldn't help but touch the wall with his hands, but every stone brick was as flat and smooth as if it had been copied and pasted. It was impossible to tell where the door was with the naked eye.

"I can't remember clearly. I need to think about it."

Ye Lin followed his childhood memories, slowed down his pace, and walked step by step into the dim tunnel.

One step, two steps, three steps...,

About ten meters into the tunnel, the footsteps stopped abruptly.
