Chapter 170 Going to the Chu Family
In a dark dungeon somewhere beneath the Chu Family Manor in Yanjing, a man and a woman were tied together by their feet with iron chains. The length of the chains was only enough for them to move around in the room which was less than 100 square meters.
The woman was none other than Chu Liyue, and the man was Chu Liyue's brother Chu Xinghe.
The martial arts meridians of the two men had long been damaged, and they were just ordinary people in good physical condition. However, even if they were in good physical condition, they had been staying in this dark underground for so many years without seeing the sun, and had been abused for a long time, so their bodies were already full of holes.
Chu Liyue covered her mouth and coughed twice. When she took her hand away, there was a scarlet blood stain on her palm. Chu Liyue quickly clenched her hand to prevent Chu Xinghe from noticing.
Chu Xinghe heard the noise and quickly poured a glass of water to Chu Liyue, "How are you? Are you still not well?"
"Much better. It's just my old problem of having a cold. Don't worry, brother."
Chu Liyue took the water and took two sips, then lowered her head and continued with what she was doing.
Suddenly, Chu Xinghe raised his head and looked upwards, frowning slightly, "Liyue, did you hear anything?"
"What?"
Chu Liyue was thinking about something and didn't notice the movement above her head. When she heard Chu Xinghe ask, she listened carefully, but didn't hear any sound.
"Brother, did you hear wrongly? I didn't hear anything!"
"Maybe I heard it wrong!"
Chu Xinghe's wrinkled brows did not relax. He listened carefully for a while and found that apart from the rustling sound of Chu Liyue making clothes, the only sound was his own breathing.
Shaking his head, Chu Xinghe thought he was just hallucinating and didn't take it seriously, concentrating on doing his own thing.
Although the two have been imprisoned here all the time, they have always been thinking about how to escape. Now that they are about to escape, Chu Xinghe does not want any accidents to happen at this time.
Another half an hour passed, and it was almost time for the daily meal delivery, but there was no movement outside the door. Chu Xinghe immediately frowned.
What's going on?
Why hasn’t the food delivery person arrived yet?
At this time of day, Chu Xinghe could already hear the voices of the people who came to deliver food and the people who were guarding them chatting outside.
But today it's very quiet outside, too quiet.
"Liyue."
Chu Liyue raised her head and looked at Chu Xinghe in confusion, "Brother, what's wrong?"
Chu Xinghe walked to the wall and removed the iron chain on his ankle, then went to help Chu Liyue remove it. He grabbed Chu Liyue's wrist and walked towards the door that was always closed.
Chu Xinghe threw the clothes and needlework in his hand onto the table. Chu Liyue took a look and frowned, "Brother, what's going on?"
"Liyue, what time is it now?"
Chu Liyue looked at the clock on the wall and immediately realized something was wrong. "It's twelve o'clock at noon. Why is it this time?"
At this time, Chu Liyue also understood why Chu Xinghe was so nervous, and her heart was also lifted.
"Brother, nothing will happen outside, right?"
"I don't know, but there's no one outside now. It's a good opportunity for us to leave."
After Chu Xinghe finished speaking, he put his ear against the iron door to make sure there was no sound outside. Then he let go of Chu Liyue and pulled out a wire from her messy hair. There was a piece of scrap iron tied to the wire, which had been polished to be as smooth as a mirror.
Push the big iron door open a little, insert the wire into the door gap, align the iron sheet with the smart lock outside, and you can clearly see the smart lock on the iron sheet through the gap.
"Liyue, give me your wire."
Chu Liyue did not dare to delay and immediately handed the wire she used to tie her hair to Chu Xinghe. Chu Xinghe took the wire and carefully operated the two wires and pressed the password that they had spent several years to obtain on the smart lock.
In just a short while, Chu Xinghe's head was already covered with sweat, but fortunately he succeeded.
The smart lock beeped twice, and the lock embedded in the middle of the two large iron doors automatically retracted, and the large iron doors slowly opened in front of the two people.
The long corridor outside was empty, with only the lights still on.
"Walk."
Chu Xinghe pulled Chu Liyue over and walked out of the place that had tortured them for more than ten years.
The closer they got to the outside, the louder the noise they heard.
Arriving at the exit, Chu Xinghe stopped, turned around and said to Chu Liyue: "Wait here first, I'll go out and take a look."
With such a commotion outside, something big must have happened to the Chu family. However, given Chu Tianlong's temperament, it is impossible for him to withdraw the people guarding them.
Chu Xinghe had just taken a step forward when Chu Liyue grabbed his sleeve and said, "No, you are the only relative I have left. I want to go out with you."
Chu Liyue's originally beautiful face had become as pale as paper due to years of not seeing the sun and abuse, but her eyes were startlingly bright, and the determination she showed when she looked at Chu Xinghe was exactly the same as when she was young.
Looking at his sister who is ten years younger than him, she looks almost the same as when she was a teenager when she was first captured. It is obvious that she is being taken good care of by Yun Zechuan.
But now, after spending nine years in this darkness, his hair has turned gray and he looks much older than his brother.
"Okay, let's go out together." Chu Xinghe raised his hand and rubbed Chu Liyue's head.
When they arrived on the ground, they saw that the Chu family manor, which was originally built by a world-renowned design master, was now in a mess, with corpses and blood everywhere on the ground.
One could even see the manor's servants running out in panic with the Chu family's things in their arms. Even if they saw them, they would only be surprised for a moment and then ignore them.
Chu Liyue was very attentive and soon discovered that the corpses on the ground were all warriors trained by Chu Tianlong. Warriors were different from ordinary people, and Chu Liyue had a special physique since she was a child, so it was easy for her to discover them.
"Brother, all those who died were warriors."
Chu Xinghe paused and hurried to check the bodies on the ground. He actually discovered the unique mark of the Chu family on these bodies.
Chu Xinghe stood up and took a rough look. There were no less than ten warriors killed in this area. No wonder all the warriors guarding them were missing.
"Let's go to the front yard and take a look."
"Um."
In the past, many members of the Chu family died, and today it is finally the turn of Chu Tianlong, the traitor of the Chu family.
Chu Tianlong teamed up with outsiders to kill his grandfather and parents. No matter who the outsider was, as long as he could kill Chu Tianlong, he would be Chu Xinghe's benefactor.
When he arrived at the front yard, all the warriors trained by the Chu family had been killed by Yun Su, leaving only the master of the Chu family.
At this moment, all of them were forced to kneel in the front yard by An Ran and Chen Ping. The women huddled together, while the men trembled and begged for mercy.
