"Perhaps the mural in that secret room can tell you the answer." Gu Huai said.
Xie Yunjiao was stunned for a moment, then delighted: "Are you saying that there are more wonderful murals in the darkroom than that book?"
She added, "Of course, I'm just curious about what happened back then."
How could Gu Huai not know what she was thinking? But since she didn't want to admit it, he would just cooperate.
"We were trapped at the stairs just now. I did see some things, but not everything. Let's wait until we can get out and then take a closer look." Gu Huai patted Xie Yunjiao's hand and said.
"Okay." Xie Yunjiao responded while leaning on Gu Huai's shoulder.
The moment Zhou Ming opened his eyes, he saw Xie Yunjiao and Gu Huai leaning close to each other, and he immediately became furious.
The fire in his eyes almost burned Xie Yunjiao and Gu Huai opposite him to ashes!
Alan was delighted to see Zhou Ming had woken up. She called out softly, "Master."
Zhou Ming only remembered that he seemed to be tripped by something at the bottom of the water, his head was hit by a heavy object, and then he lost consciousness.
Now that they've woken up, it seems they've already left that dark room? Didn't Alan say there's no way out?
"What's going on? Where is this place?" Zhou Ming asked.
Alan told Zhou Ming what had just happened.
Zhou Ming frowned. If he hadn't experienced it once before, he would never have believed that everything he saw was real!
This mountain has a close relationship with Xie Yunjiao, otherwise she wouldn't have so many strange treasures in her hands!
However, he still needs to study how to open the treasure door.
Xie Yunjiao noticed a burning gaze staring at her from behind. Her heart tightened and she suddenly felt uncomfortable.
She only felt this way when Zhou Ming looked at her.
When she turned her head and looked behind her, she saw those eagle-like sharp eyes staring at her.
When their eyes met, she seemed to feel the bloodthirsty light in his eyes.
Although it was only less than a second, she could still see the determination in his eyes.
Her heart couldn't help but tremble.
Yes, she didn't know when it started, but she felt a little afraid of the man in front of her who she couldn't see through.
His eyes are always so sinister, and he acts in such an extreme and ruthless way.
Even the people around him don't get any sympathy from him, as if they are just tools.
When tools lose their value, there is only one way out: death!
She felt that even she herself was no exception.
Xie Yunjiao's body suddenly became stiff, and Gu Huai beside her instantly felt her change.
He hugged Xie Yunjiao tighter and turned his head to look behind him.
When he saw Zhou Ming who had woken up, his brows furrowed.
Gu Huai and Xie Yunjiao came to Zhou Ming's side, and Gu Huai asked Zhou Ming: "What is your purpose?"
Zhou Ming looked at Gu Huai with disdain in his eyes, without any awareness of being a prisoner.
He curled the corners of his mouth and said to Gu Huai, "I don't want to talk to you."
"You have to say it even if you don't want to."
Gu Huai grabbed his chin tightly, forcing him to look at him.
Zhou Ming turned his head away abruptly and didn't even look at Gu Huai.
Gu Huai was already angry because of the way he looked at Xie Yunjiao, and now he couldn't control his anger.
He grabbed Zhou Ming's chin a little harder, and the part of Zhou Ming's chin where he grabbed it turned white.
But there was no expression of pain on Zhou Ming's face, as if Gu Huai was not grabbing his chin.
"Gu Huai, let go. Even if you force him like this, he won't speak." Xie Yunjiao said as she pulled Gu Huai's hand away.
Zhou Ming looked at Xie Yunjiao with a gleam in his eyes. He said to Xie Yunjiao, "One night of marriage is a hundred nights of love. Are you feeling sorry for me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, it was obvious that Gu Huai's face froze.
At this moment, Gu Huai's hands were hidden in his wide sleeves. He thought that if it weren't for the clothes blocking it, he would definitely be able to see Gu Huai's clenched fists.
Thinking of this, the smile on Zhou Ming's face became even more wanton, bright and dazzling.
Suddenly, he felt a pain on his face, but it was not Gu Huai who hit him, but Xie Yunjiao.
"Are you sick? Do you think it's fun to talk nonsense here? Will anyone believe it?" Xie Yunjiao said.
Zhou Ming smiled instead of getting angry and said, "Whether anyone believes it or not, just ask the person next to you and you'll know.
Don't be so quick to deny it, we all know what happened that night."
"You're just looking for death!" Xie Yunjiao was irritated by Zhou Ming. It was obvious that nothing had happened between them, but he said that. It was obvious that he wanted to sow discord and destroy the relationship between her and Gu Huai.
She started beating Zhou Ming, but he still had a dazzling smile on his face, and his hands and feet were tied, leaving him no room to fight back. In a short while, Xie Yunjiao beat him until his face was bruised and swollen.
"Xie Yunjiao, that's enough," Gu Huai came over and held Xie Yunjiao, "Calm down. There's no need to bother with this kind of person."
Xie Yunjiao suddenly came to her senses and discovered the injuries on Zhou Ming's face.
Her actions seemed to make people feel that she was trying to hide something.
"Gu Huai, listen to me, nothing really happened between him and me." Xie Yunjiao said hurriedly.
If it were someone else, she wouldn't bother to explain. She couldn't control what others thought.
But she didn't want to make Gu Huai sad, so she wanted to explain it clearly.
Gu Huai grabbed her hand distressedly and checked it for her. He said, "Look, your hand is all red. It must be very painful."
Gu Huai grabbed Xie Yunjiao's hand and blew on it, then said, "I stopped you not because I don't trust you, but because beating that kind of person doesn't need to dirty your hands."
Gu Huai said to Bei Ming and Nan Feng who were hiding and watching from the side, "Just let them do it.
It’s not that I want to vent my anger, but they also dislike him.
Don’t you think so?
Bei Ming rolled up his sleeves and rubbed his hands, he said: "This kind of person is just a rude person, boss, I will beat him up, so as not to dirty your hands."
Nan Feng also said: "Yeah, Boss, there's no need to ruin your health over this kind of anger."
“You…you guys…”
"Boss, you don't have to be too touched. We just don't like that kid." Bei Ming said.
Xie Yunjiao nodded. "That's right, I don't like him. People like him are born to deserve a beating." Xie Yunjiao paused and said, "But don't beat him to death. I still have something to ask him."
"Boss, we know." Nanfeng said.
Zhou Ming fell to the ground, watching Gu Huai holding Xie Yunjiao's hand tenderly: "It hurts, right? You should have let me do it from the beginning. I have thick skin and am not afraid of pain."
Xie Yunjiao smiled and said, "Okay, next time I won't do it myself, I'll ask you to come."
Gu Huai patted Xie Yunjiao's head and said, "Be good."
