Just when Gu Tingchen and Meng Xianchen were suspicious, suddenly, a subordinate came in to report to Meng Xianchen.
"Master, something bad has happened!" The subordinate's expression was extremely panicked, and his legs were shaking uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Meng Xianchen had a bad feeling in his heart.
Something big must have happened.
"What happened? Tell me slowly, don't be anxious." Although Meng Xianchen said this, he was telling himself to stay calm in his heart.
The subordinate swallowed nervously before stammering, "Master, he, no, the clone, he was, was destroyed."
As soon as these words were spoken, Meng Xianchen and Gu Tingchen's expressions changed!
"What did you say?" Meng Xianchen thought there was something wrong with his ears.
He frowned tightly, looking incredulous.
The subordinate repeated, "That clone has been destroyed. Someone broke into the secret room!"
"Impossible!" Meng Xianchen almost collapsed to the ground. It was clearly under strict guard, so how could it be destroyed?
Just when Meng Xianchen couldn't accept the fact and almost collapsed to the ground, Gu Tingchen grabbed his arm.
"Whether it's true or not, we'll know after we go and take a look." Gu Tingchen still looked calm, as if nothing could really make him anxious, except for Jiang Ranran's matter.
Meng Xianchen forced himself to calm down and followed Gu Tingchen to the secret room.
The door of the secret room was still closed, but when Meng Xianchen and Gu Tingchen walked in, the fake Mr. Meng was already dead.
Meng Xianchen shuddered all over, walked up to him, and gently checked his breath.
Sure enough, he was not breathing.
Fearing that Meng Xianchen would be too emotional, Gu Tingchen supported Meng Xianchen in advance, "Are you okay?"
Meng Xianchen didn't say anything, but his face was as pale as paper. "The fake one is already dead. I don't know if the real one is still alive."
"If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body." Gu Tingchen said with a serious face.
The question he wanted to know most now was, how could the other party have had the opportunity to take advantage of the situation when the guards were so strict?
Gu Tingchen glanced around, his eyes slashing through everyone like a knife.
"Was the door of the secret room opened before he died?" Gu Tingchen's tone was cold, giving people a sense of awe without even being angry.
Everyone present, except Meng Xianchen, shook their heads in unison.
"Mr. Gu, the door of the secret room has never been opened." The leading subordinate answered very respectfully.
Upon hearing this, Gu Tingchen curled his lips into a cold smile, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "So, there's a traitor among you?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone's faces became tense.
"The door of the secret room has never been opened, but the person is dead. Isn't it one of you who did it?" Gu Tingchen growled, observing everyone's expressions with sharp eyes.
But they all spoke righteously, and no one showed any guilty expression.
"Mr. Gu, it definitely wasn't done by our people." The leading subordinate said sincerely.
Obviously, he was pleading for mercy for his men.
However, Gu Tingchen was not someone who could be easily fooled. He said coldly, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If I find any of you guilty, I will show no mercy!"
Gu Tingchen turned around and saw that Meng Xianchen's expression had improved a lot.
"Are you okay?" Gu Tingchen asked with a slightly softer tone.
Meng Xianchen forced himself to remain calm and nodded, "That's fine. Let them leave first. I want to be alone for a while."
Gu Tingchen agreed and gave his men a wink, asking them to withdraw. Now only Gu Tingchen and Meng Xianchen were left in the secret room.
"If you have anything to say, you can tell me." Gu Tingchen said lightly.
Meng Xianchen sighed, tears welling up in his eyes. "You know what? My father raised me since I was a child. The relationship between us was very deep, but when I grew up, this feeling changed."
"I have never changed, I'm just not good at expressing myself anymore." Gu Tingchen said this actually to comfort Meng Xianchen.
Meng Xianchen reached out and wiped away the tears that suddenly fell, muttering to himself, "If my father dies this time, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."
"No, I will help you." It was rare for Gu Tingchen to be so patient.
Meng Xianchen cast a grateful look at Gu Tingchen, but the sadness in his eyes had not yet been wiped away.
Gu Tingchen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then asked in a mocking tone: "Is the eldest young master of the Meng family such a crybaby? He's not really like a man at all."
"Gu Tingchen, don't take advantage of me and hurt me when I'm worried and sad." Meng Xianchen wiped away his tears and said stubbornly.
Seeing that his mood had improved, Gu Tingchen stood up and patted his shoulder. "Alright, stop crying. This is quite strange. We have to investigate it. Maybe we can catch the mastermind by following this trail."
Encouraged by Gu Tingchen, Meng Xianchen straightened his back and said, "Well, this matter must be investigated thoroughly!"
However, at this moment, in a more hidden secret room in the Meng family, the real Mr. Meng was watching the conversation between Meng Xianchen and Gu Tingchen. His hands and feet were tied, and he had become thinner due to hunger.
"See? What a scene of deep love between father and son."
In a dark corner, a woman's sinister voice was heard, but Mr. Meng turned a deaf ear to it, as if he didn't hear it, and closed his eyes in disgust.
"What? Teacher, don't you like listening to me?" The woman's voice rose a few notches, a little angry and a little sarcastic.
Mr. Meng still had his eyes closed, looking calm and composed.
The sound of footsteps was heard, and a woman in high heels walked out from a dark corner. Her not-so-delicate facial features were full of sarcasm and complacency, with a hint of viciousness.
This face is Meng Zhen.
"Teacher, I want you to look at me, look at me." Meng Zhen ordered coldly.
But Mr. Meng was unwilling to look at her any longer. He only lifted his thin lips and said, "Lusha, you've gone too far. Sooner or later, there will be a backlash."
"Backlash? Hahaha, I've died once, why should I be afraid of dying again?" Meng Zhen raised his head and laughed.
That’s right, she is Meng Zhen, but also Lusa.
This body belongs to Meng Zhen, but the thoughts belong to Lusa.
"It was you who repeatedly framed Meng Xianchen and dragged the Meng family into trouble. Otherwise, I would never have done anything to you." Old Master Meng finally opened his eyes and said coldly.
Meng Zhen's eyes widened suddenly, and he growled excitedly, "So, you blame me? You wanted me dead, but I didn't die. I escaped death. You must be very angry, right? Huh?"
"I should have eradicated the problem at its roots." Old Master Meng said the harshest words, but his face remained calm.
