"The person behind this is hiding very well," Pei Xuan said, frowning.
"Forget it, we'll just be more careful from now on." Qi Guze waved his hand. "We must find out who's behind this, otherwise they'll definitely continue to target us."
In the days that followed, Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai remained cautious and wary of those people.
However, that person was very cunning and never revealed any flaws.
Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai remained vigilant, knowing that the person would definitely strike again.
While waiting for that person to make a move, Qi Guze also investigated the identities and backgrounds of those maids.
He always felt that those maids were not ordinary maids, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong with them.
"Aze, what's wrong?" Xu Yuehuai asked, noticing his furrowed brow. "Are you still thinking about those maids?"
"Hmm." Qi Guze nodded. "I always felt that those maids weren't ordinary maids, but I can't quite put my finger on what was wrong with them."
Xu Yuehuai thought for a moment, "Perhaps it's because their clothes are too nice that you feel something is off about them."
"Perhaps," Qi Guze said. "I'll have someone investigate this thoroughly."
"Forget it, there's nothing much going on in the kitchen anyway, so let's not think about those maids anymore," Xu Yuehuai said. "It's just a small matter in the kitchen, so let's think about what to do next."
"From now on?" Qi Guze looked at her. "From now on, we will naturally be together. You don't need to worry."
Xu Yuehuai looked at him, "Really?"
"Of course it's true," Qi Guze said. "You're the only one in my heart."
Xu Yuehuai was deeply moved after hearing his words.
She had thought about being with Qi Guze, but she never imagined that Qi Guze, who had not regained his memories, would be so determined.
“Aze, I will stay with you.” Xu Yuehuai said, “From now on, we must stay together and not let anyone else bother us.”
"Okay." Qi Guze nodded. "I will protect you well from now on, so you don't need to worry."
However, at that moment, screams of alarm suddenly came from the garden.
"What happened?" Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai quickly went over.
A large hole appeared in a patch of grass in the garden, and the maids were trembling at the entrance of the hole.
"What's going on?" Qi Guze asked, looking at the maids.
“We don’t know either,” a maid said in a trembling voice. “We were walking in the garden when this big hole suddenly appeared.”
Xu Yuehuai also went over to take a look and saw that the entrance to the cave was very narrow, only wide enough for one person to fit through.
She crouched down and examined the hole closely, noticing some strange patterns at the entrance.
She felt like she had seen these patterns somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where.
"You may all leave now," Qi Guze said. "I will handle this matter properly."
After hearing his words, the maids quickly left.
Qi Guze looked at Xu Yuehuai and said, "You should go back first. Leave this matter to me."
Xu Yuehua nodded, turned and left.
However, she did not leave. Instead, she found a place to hide and decided to see what strange things were going on at the entrance of the cave.
After a long while, she saw Qi Guze walk out of the garden with a cold smile on his face.
Xu Yuehuai knew he must have discovered something, so she quickly went outside.
"Aze, what did you find?" Xu Yuehuai asked.
“That’s right.” Qi Guze nodded. “I went down to take a look just now and found that there is a basement down there.”
"Basement?" Xu Yuehuai was also stunned. "How could it be a basement?"
“I don’t know either,” Qi Guze said, “but I guess it should be a secret passage, used for escape.”
Xu Yuehuai thought about it for a moment and felt that this guess made a lot of sense.
After all, those thieves were able to leave this mansion so quickly, so there must have been a secret passage for their escape.
“In that case, we need to hurry up and tell Pei Xuan and the others, and let them come and see for themselves.” Xu Yuehuai said.
"No need," Qi Guze shook his head. "I'll have someone tell them about this, so you don't need to worry."
Xu Yuehuai looked at him, "Are you sure? What if that person escapes through the secret passage again? Wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?"
"No, that won't happen." Qi Guze looked at her. "Don't worry, I'll have someone guarding that place. I absolutely won't let that person escape."
Xu Yuehuai felt relieved after hearing his words.
She believed in Qi Guze's abilities; he was sure he would catch that person.
So, Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze returned to their room together. For the next few days, Qi Guze kept men guarding the secret passage, but they couldn't find any trace of the person.
"Aze, where did that person go?" Xu Yuehuai asked. "Why hasn't he shown up yet?"
“I don’t know either,” Qi Guze said, frowning. “But I suspect that person must already know we’re investigating him, which is why he hasn’t shown up.”
Xu Yuehuai thought about it for a moment and felt that this guess made a lot of sense. After all, that person was very cunning and would certainly not easily reveal any flaws.
"Forget it, we don't have any other clues anyway, let's leave it at that for now," Qi Guze said. "As long as we're careful, that person will definitely make another move."
Xu Yuehuai nodded, "You're right, let's take good care of ourselves."
Qi Guze pulled her into his arms. "I will protect you well from now on, so you don't need to worry."
In the days that followed, Qi Guze continued to strengthen security measures at the mansion. Whenever any suspicious individuals appeared, he would immediately send people to investigate.
However, that person seemed to have sensed their actions and therefore did not appear. Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai were also quite helpless; they knew that person would definitely make another move.
Time passed day by day. One day, Qi Guze received a letter instructing him to meet at a ruin outside the city. After reading the letter, Qi Guze immediately prepared to leave.
