Good news: She found out she was the original female lead in a novel, now reduced to a supporting role.
Bad news: Her storyline had already ended, with her receiving her "lunchbox" (b...
Gu Lang was puzzled when he heard this: "Haoyu?"
Zhao Qinghuai explained from the side, "Your son is Gu Ruiyuan, but this is a long story, I'll tell you the details later, we need to leave here first. Also, I have something I need your cooperation with."
Upon hearing this, Gu Lang immediately replied, "Okay, no problem."
Just then, a gunshot rang out from their five o'clock position. Zhao Qinghuai looked at Lin Ying with a solemn expression: "Now, let's leave here and return to the secret passage."
Lin Ying nodded: "Let's go."
Just as Lin Ying was about to leave, Zhao Qinghuai stopped her: "Riding the tiger, go faster."
Upon hearing this, Tiger immediately lay down at Lin Ying's feet and made her sit on him.
Gu Lang and his companions were so excited that they didn't even see the enormous creature behind them.
Now that they've discovered it, but the tiger is so docile, they're not so afraid anymore.
Led by Lin Ying, the group returned to the secret passage.
When Gu Lang saw the treasures inside, he realized what the person they had been chasing was all for. Ironically, they had been following this person here for years without even knowing why they had come.
The gunshot was somewhat alarming. Zhao Qinghuai told Gu Lang that they could see their situation from above, and Gu Lang and the others then headed towards the monitoring room. They discovered that it seemed someone in the group with foreigners had fired a shot into the air during what appeared to be a dispute.
When Zhao Qinghuai finally saw Lin Huaiyu, he subconsciously glanced at Lin Ying.
Lin Ying said nonchalantly, "I forgot to tell you before, the books I found actually belonged to the main branch of the Lin family. I knew that as soon as I saw the medical records. However, our branch lost contact with the main branch a hundred years ago."
So, the armor you're wearing belongs to the Lin family, and this place is also part of the Lin family's treasure. I gradually deduced all of this after Commander Shan came to find me. In fact, my grandfather never told me any of this, and perhaps he didn't know either.
Did Old Master Lin not know? Of course he did. Back then, Old Master Lin's father talked about the Lin family's treasure every day, but he thought it was nonsense and naturally wouldn't tell Lin Ying about it.
It's obvious that those people knew what Lin Ying didn't know, otherwise they wouldn't have brought Lin Huaiyu along.
Perhaps they found out that only people related to the Lin family could come here, so they sought out Lin Huaiyu.
As for why he agreed to come here instead of the clinic, Lin Ying had no idea.
Seeing Lin Ying's expression, Zhao Qinghuai coughed lightly and revealed what he knew: "After you went to the army, the Lin family clinic was reported and shut down. After Lin Rong married Li Weiyi, the Li family went bankrupt, and Lin Rong was subsequently sent to the countryside."
Although your father and his wife lived a frugal life, they managed to get by. That is, until Lin Rong sent her daughter to the Lin family to be cared for by the elderly couple.
As for why your father came here, I knew he had been missing for a long time, apparently because Lin Rong's daughter went missing and he went to look for her. Later, the little girl went back, but your father didn't. Now it seems they used Lin Rong's daughter to threaten your father, and then brought him here.”
Lin Ying gave a sarcastic smile: "Lin Huaiyu is indeed a man of great loyalty and righteousness, but his loyalty and righteousness belong to others and have nothing to do with me."
Gu Lang was a little confused: "What are you talking about? Zhao Qinghuai, we're all in this together now. Even though you're husband and wife, can't you keep your little secrets at this crucial moment?"
And is this the time to discuss this? The surveillance footage shows at least four groups of people outside. What are we going to do next? Shouldn't you have told us? At such a crucial moment, you're all gossiping about trivial matters.
Zhao Qinghuai said speechlessly, "The reason we're discussing this is to show there's no danger. You've known me for so long, when have I ever made a real mistake?"
Gu Lang nodded upon hearing this: "That's true. But are you sure there won't be any problems? Shouldn't you tell us your plan? What are we going to do next? Also, aren't you afraid they'll find this place? Or that the two teams will meet and start fighting?"
Lin Ying explained, "No, they can't get here. Unless they unlock the secret of this formation. As for getting here, or even meeting, that's impossible."
Gu Lang asked, puzzled, "Why? They don't look that far apart."
Zhao Qinghuai countered, "You've been here for four or five years. Have you ever walked this far? Have you ever met any other teams?"
Gu Lang choked: "No, that's not it, but why is that?"
Lin Ying replied, "Because there is a mixed formation composed of 113 formations below. Moreover, the formation is constantly operating, and each batch of people entering will encounter a different formation. They will also be guided to different places."
Gu Lang was speechless: "1,113? My God, that's an incredible amount."
Lin Ying didn't think much of it: "This is someone else's home, so naturally we have to protect it well to prevent all sorts of people from coming here to covet the treasures."
Gu Lang nodded seriously: "That's true. Since you can't get in without someone to guide you, you must have something else to do if you don't leave?"
Zhao Qinghuai nodded: "Come with me, let's talk."
Despite saying that, Zhao Qinghuai did not let go of Lin Ying's hand. Clearly, even if Gu Lang's men came, he would not let Lin Ying out of his sight.
