Chapter 501 Extra: A Woman Was Locked Up in the Basement
Just when Lin Luoxi thought he was going to meditate until dawn, Lord Li finally got up and left the study.
When Lord Li left the study, Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan leaped down and climbed in through the window without alerting the guards watching over the study.
"Honey, look, all these decorations in this room are really nice!" If we sold them to the West, we could probably make a lot of money.
"Okay, I'll take them all..." She would really feel bad if she didn't take something with her, since these three stinky men were talking about her behind her back.
With a wave of his hand, he collected all the valuable jade artifacts, calligraphy and paintings, screens, and bookshelves in the room into his space.
The study suddenly felt much emptier, and what Lin Luoxi was looking for naturally appeared before her eyes.
Seeing the newly opened, tightly closed door on the wall, Lin Luoxi walked over and pressed the button on the protruding mechanism on the wall.
"Boom!" Lin Luoxi pressed the mechanism on the wall, and the stone door slowly opened.
Fortunately, the noise wasn't loud and didn't alert the guards outside.
"These corrupt officials are all the same; they all like to hide things in the basement of the stone door," Lin Luoxi muttered, looking at the open stone door.
"Well, that's good too. It saves us the trouble of searching everywhere." The weather in Lingnan is too hot; even the slightest movement will leave you drenched in sweat. He didn't want to be running around the house looking for things.
"That's true!" The heat of Lingnan made Lin Luoxi understand Xie Hanchuan's feelings very well.
The two of them climbed down the ladder, about a hundred steps, before finally reaching the bottom.
"who?"
As soon as Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan stepped down, they heard a woman's wary voice.
The two assumed that Lord Li had hidden men below to prevent anyone from sneaking into his secret room, so they proceeded cautiously.
After Lin Luoxi walked along the winding path, she saw a light ahead, and the owner of the voice was exposed to Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan.
"The father of my child is a woman?" The woman's limbs were chained together. Although she was not withered, her face was beautiful. But because she had been locked up here for many years, her skin was unnaturally white. Lin Luoxi was shocked when she saw the woman chained up.
"Who are you? Are you here to save me?" The woman looked at Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan with a pleading expression when she saw that the people who came were Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan, not that beast Li Houchong.
"Actually, we came down here to look for evidence of Li Houchong's crimes. We didn't expect there would be anyone here..." Lin Luoxi directly stated her destination in the basement.
"Find evidence? I am the evidence. I am Nangong Chuying, a member of the Nangong family..." The woman was afraid that Lin Luoxi would not save her, so she quickly introduced herself and let Lin Luoxi see her value.
"You are Nangong Chuying, then who is Nangong Mobai to you?" No wonder Lin Luoxi felt that the person in front of her looked familiar; it turned out he was from the Nangong family.
"I, I am Mo Bai's older sister..." Nangong Chuying became even more excited when she heard Lin Luoxi know about Nangong Mo Bai.
"Oh, so you're Nangong Mobai's older sister..." Then this woman has no choice but to be saved...
Lin Luoxi stepped forward, wrapped her black iron dagger with her inner force, and looked at the chains binding Nangong Chuying.
"Crack!" The four chains were cut off, and Nangong Chuying was no longer bound by chains. She quickly knelt down with Lin Luoxi.
"Benefactor, please take me out..." She hadn't seen the sunlight outside for a long time, and she hadn't seen her family for a long time.
"Okay!" Lin Luoxi had just agreed to Nangong Chuying's request when there was a noise coming from the basement door.
"Someone's coming down..."
As the sound grew closer, Nangong Chuying became fully alert, her expression panicked as she looked towards the winding corridor. She gazed at Lin Luoxi with pleading eyes, hoping that Lin Luoxi wouldn't abandon her.
"Don't worry!" Lin Luoxi knew what Nangong Chuying was afraid of, so she gave her a reassuring look, raised her hand, and before Nangong Chuying could pay attention, she delivered a chop to her neck, knocking Nangong Chuying unconscious and throwing her into her spatial dimension.
"Da da..."
The footsteps grew closer, but Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan acted as if they hadn't heard them, leisurely strolling around the basement.
They took all the valuable items and stored them in their space.
They took all the evidence of Li Houchong's embezzlement.
"Who? Who is it...?" Li Houchong, who couldn't sleep at night, had a feeling that something was about to happen.
Feeling uneasy, he went to his study to practice calligraphy and calm his mind, only to find that everything in the study was gone.
His heart skipped a beat, and he walked towards the exposed stone door, pressed the button, and went down to the basement.
Upon seeing the chains binding Nangong Chuying being forcibly broken, he was filled with anger, rage, and fear. He began to howl in terror and rage in the basement.
But in the empty basement, no one answered his question.
After thoroughly searching the basement, Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan left through another passage.
"Nangong Mobai, look what I brought back for you!" As soon as they returned to the villa, Lin Luoxi looked at the still-lit room and said loudly to Nangong Mobai.
Nangong Mobai, who was in the room, heard Lin Luoxi's words and thought that Lin Luoning had also come. He excitedly ran to open the door.
As a result, they saw Lin Luoxi gently embracing a woman, standing in his courtyard with Xie Hanchuan.
"Second sister, what is this...?" Nangong Mobai felt that the woman in Lin Luoxi's arms looked familiar, but he dared not think about it, because that person had disappeared without a trace for two years.
"Come closer and see who I, Hua Huailai, am?" Lin Luoxi saw the look in Nangong Mobai's eyes and knew that he had guessed, but he just couldn't believe it.
"This, Second Sister, I don't want to look at any other woman besides Luo Ning. You don't need to test me like this..." Nangong Mobai suppressed the restlessness in his heart and looked at Lin Luoxi with a firm will.
"Nangong Mobai, you really are my good brother..." Nangong Chuying, who had been secretly pinched in the uterus by Lin Luoxi, woke up and was both surprised and annoyed when she heard Nangong Mobai's words.
"Big sister?" Hearing the familiar voice, Nangong Mobai's restless heart erupted like a volcano.
Unable to hold back any longer, he ran up to Lin Luoxi and stared intently at Nangong Chuying.
"Sis, it really is you! Where have you been hiding these past two years?"
"If you don't want to marry that boy from the Song family, you can tell your parents, your parents..."
Nangong Mobai shut his mouth at the end, because his parents only cared about profit.
"Little brother, no, I was locked in the basement by that beast Li Houchong for two years. The humiliation I suffered during those two years was too shameful to speak of."
"Alright, let your sister go wash up first. What she needs most right now is to wash up..." Lin Luoxi interrupted the siblings' conversation, supporting the frail Nangong Chuying.
