Feng Wanguang frowned and replied in a low voice, "Yeah."
"Dad, there should be a lot of valuable gold, silver, jewelry, and antique jade hidden in the secret room, right?" Feng Yue asked tentatively, her eyes full of hope.
"Yes." Feng Wangguang nodded and replied.
"That's great. I knew that daddy would have a backup plan. This way our family isn't completely penniless anymore." Feng Yue jumped a few times excitedly and looked at her father with a happy face.
"Hey, Dad, why are you so unhappy? And so nervous?" Feng Yue restrained the smile on her face and asked suspiciously.
Feng Wanguang took a deep breath and said with a serious face, "My daughter, there are valuable items in there, but there are also things that are enough to kill our family. What if a thief finds the secret room here and steals everything inside? What should we do? How can Dad not be nervous!"
"What!" After hearing Feng Wangguang's words, Feng Yue realized the seriousness of the matter and her heart began to beat "thump, thump".
"Then what are you waiting for? Go down and take a look." She looked anxious and kept urging her father.
"You, you, and you, and you, all of you, go and light some torches and come with us to the secret room." Feng Yue turned around and casually pointed to a few servants and guards.
"Yes, Miss!"
Soon, the servants and guards came back holding torches.
"I pray to all the gods for protection, and hope that the secret room will not be discovered by thieves." Feng Wangguang clasped his hands together, muttering to himself, his whole body shaking with nervousness.
Seeing this, Feng Yue also followed her father in praying, "Please, gods, bless us and keep everything safe in our house."
"Dad, go down quickly!" Feng Yue urged.
"Okay, okay." Feng Wangguang was very nervous.
The two of them took a deep breath and entered the dark room with a few servants.
The darkroom was pitch black, without a single ray of light.
Feng Wangguang's heart skipped a beat and his face turned pale.
There were several night-shining pearls the size of a baby's fist, but now they were nowhere to be found. Even the night-shining pearl that was fixed on the shelf was taken away by the thief.
That’s the switch to the secret room!
"Wow, it's over, it's over, it's all over! The secret room must have been discovered by the thieves." Feng Wangguang burst into tears and cried with his hands covering his face.
Feng Yue looked at her father's desperate expression and instantly realized that the dark room could not escape the looting of the thieves after all.
However, it didn't take long for her to catch the key information from Feng Wangguang's words. "Dad, do you mean there is a secret room here?" She said with surprise in her tone.
"So what if there is! The switch of the secret room has been taken away by the thieves. They must be aware of the existence of the secret room. Wuuuu, it's over, everything is over, it's completely over." Feng Wangguang sat on the ground like a deflated ball, and cried heartbrokenly.
"Wuwuwu, it's all my fault, it's all my fault!" Feng Wanguang raised his hand and slapped himself a few times. "It's all my fault, why did I record it all? If that booklet falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, we'll all be finished. Wuwuwu~~"
"Dad, what exactly is written in that booklet?" Feng Yue asked with a worried look on her face.
"Wow, oh, I really don't know where to start, my daughter. You just need to know that the contents of that booklet are serious enough to bring about a devastating disaster to our entire family!" Feng Wanguang was already crying bitterly and heartbroken at this time.
After hearing this, Feng Yue became shaky and almost fainted.
No, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death. She had to try to see if she could open the secret room. If the things inside were really missing, she had to think of a solution quickly.
Feng Yue doesn't believe in evil, and she won't give up even if there is a glimmer of hope.
She ordered her men to hold torches and went to check the switch her father had mentioned.
Soon, Feng Yue saw the marks of sawing on the wooden frame. Fortunately, there was a small protrusion where it was sawed off. Feng Yue held the protrusion with both hands and turned it hard.
"Boom boom"
As the sound rang out, a door appeared before their eyes.
Feng Yue was overjoyed and went in with the guards and servants.
When she saw the situation clearly, she staggered and almost fell to the ground.
No, nothing.
The secret room was as empty as a darkroom, with nothing left.
Although Feng Wangguang was completely disheartened, he saw that the door of the secret room was opened, struggled to get up, and looked inside the secret room.
There was nothing left in the secret room!
Feng Wangguang's body trembled violently, as if he was instantly submerged by an invisible cold. His face turned as pale as paper, bloodless, as if he had lost the vitality of life. The original light in his eyes also dissipated in an instant, replaced by confusion and despair.
Feng Yue saw her father in such a state and knew the seriousness of the situation. She reacted quickly, walked up to her father, and said anxiously, "Dad, let's run for our lives. Don't we still have a shop and a farm? Let's take some money and run for our lives."
"Escape? Haha, the whole world is covered with dust. No matter where we run to, the emperor will be able to find us. Wuwuwu~"
"Emperor, why, why is it so serious?" Feng Yue opened and closed his mouth again and again, uttering these words with difficulty.
She thought her father had just offended an enemy!
"Wuwuwu, I'm still so young, I don't want to die, Daddy. Let's run for our lives, we can live one day at a time, Wuwuwu!!"
