This corridor, like a secret passage, is interconnected with several forks, connecting to other narrow and dim paths where even two people walking side by side would feel crowded.
He walked straight ahead, kicked open the door at the end, and finally emerged from another corridor on the top floor of the main house.
This is the place they passed by before they came.
Li Lin was not surprised at all. After all, the Gilaman Mansion also liked to design this kind of "escape route", but it was not so exaggerated.
He quickly looked around and was relieved to find that there were no Hextech-amplified mercenaries hired by Stevan lying in ambush here.
He put down Abir, who was still screaming and looking terrified, as if the group of people were not targeting Camille and himself, but were here to kidnap her.
Li Lin couldn't help but admire the little guy's good voice and lung capacity.
She screamed at a high decibel for a full ten to twenty seconds, but her voice was still clear and loud, and her throat was not affected at all.
Even with the protection of the armor, he still felt the pain in his eardrums.
It would be a shame if you didn't sing soprano...
Li Lin couldn't help but complain in his heart.
He placed his hands on Abir's shoulders and shook her a few times, "Alright, alright, we're safe, stop screaming."
Hearing Li Lin's reminder, Abil glanced around with tears in his eyes and found that they were no longer in the original house and there was no one in the corridor.
She finally wiped the tears from her eyes and her cheeks, which were covered in makeup and had deep marks on them. "Where...are we?"
Abir asked with sobs.
"This is your home, and you actually asked me where I am..." Li Lin was too tired to complain.
Fortunately, any emotions of children come and go quickly.
After hearing what he said, Abir reacted instantly and stuck out his tongue playfully, "Oh yeah~~ This is the corridor of my house."
Immediately, her mind was turning quickly, and before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she suddenly thought of something, and her face was filled with panic and anxiety again.
"Yes, that's right! My great-aunt and great-uncle..."
"Don't worry about this kind of thing. Your great aunt will take care of it."
As he spoke, he looked towards the dark secret passage from which his brother Hang came out.
The sounds of fighting in the distance seemed to have stopped.
If nothing unexpected happens, Camille has basically dealt with Stevan and the dozen or so Hextech-enhanced mercenaries he hired.
As Li Lin expected, with the faint sound of metal touching the marble floor and being cut by the carpet coming from the end of the secret passage, Camille's figure appeared in the room at the other end.
"Grandaunt!"
Abil's face lit up with joy and he wanted to run back to say hello, but was grabbed by Li Lin who was beside him.
"That room is full of poisonous gas. Didn't you see your great-aunt covering her mouth and nose? You still want to run back?"
After being scolded by Li Lin, Abir smiled awkwardly and waited for Camille to come to them through the secret passage.
"Grandaunt, are you okay?" Her face was filled with sincere concern. "Grandun..."
"He's dead." Camille's tone was flat, not at all like someone who had just killed her own brother.
Abir opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say anything. In the end, he just pursed his lips and stood aside, looking gloomy, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Given the size of your Ferros family, Stevan's death will definitely shock the entire Piltover." Li Lin said.
"I only used an electric shock to stop his heart and kept his body intact."
Camille's voice was terrifyingly calm. She had changed a lot compared to the hesitant and hesitant girl that Li Lin had just met tonight.
"When the time comes, we'll just have to announce that he died of a sudden heart attack. As for the new head of the family... as I said tonight, it'll be you, Abil."
Abil panicked, "I, but I'm afraid I..."
"Don't think too much, I'll help you."
After Camille finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Li Lin, "You were a guest at the Philos family tonight, and this happened. It's our Philos family's fault. I apologize to you."
"Yes, I accept."
Li Lin was not polite, and there was no need to be polite.
He was involved in this matter because of Stevan, so Camille deserved an apology from him.
Li Lin paused for two seconds, then asked, "What are you going to do next?"
If he guessed correctly, once Stevan died, Camille supported the puppet patriarch to take power and completely set her sights on the entire Piltover.
But now that I am here, do you still want to be the behind-the-scenes ruler of Piltover like in the original worldline?
Have you asked me?
"Feros has been deeply corrupted by Stevan. I need to reorganize my family." Camille's electronic eye spun slightly. "Then there's Piltover..."
"Wait a moment."
Li Lin interrupted Camille directly, causing her to raise her eyebrows.
"Um?"
"Piltover is already thriving. I don't think it needs you to fix it."
Li Lin's blunt words made Camille's heart sink. "Don't forget, those council members are our..."
"The councillors aren't important, and neither are your opinions. What's important is that I only need a stable Twin Cities, a Twin Cities that are heading towards a new era, a truly progressive city-state, not the decadent and decadent city-state of the past, where everything is dominated by the big families."
Facing Camille's cold eyes, Li Lin just smiled calmly, "I think you should understand what I mean."
