"It doesn't matter who I am. You're dead today anyway." The man laughed, revealing a hint of sarcasm, and said, "When you become a corpse, I will dry you out in the sun, and then I can ask my wife for credit. Maybe I can get a face more handsome than Li Rongsen."
The sound of his voice was exactly the same as Li Rongsen's, which made An Yan feel a little sick.
She tried to push the bell away with her strength, but found that she was powerless because the bell was too heavy. She even suspected that it was made to trap someone. She couldn't even tell that the bell was made of material, which was definitely not ordinary steel.
She couldn't go out, and people outside couldn't come in.
But the side of this bell is curved, so it would be troublesome if someone tried to burn something inside.
Sure enough, the man began to put some firewood on the side and said, "I'll give you some fragrance, and you'll be obedient in a while."
An Yan took out her cell phone and was about to make a call when she heard someone hit the clock, which gave her a splitting headache. She could even feel an electric current passing into her body.
After just a moment, the feeling disappeared, and she found that the phone in her hand was broken and had no signal at all.
I heard the person outside say, "I'm not stupid. How can I let you call for help so easily?" Then he started to light the fire.
The fire could not spread into the bell, but the thick smoke that resulted from it almost choked An Yan to death.
An Yan didn't want to die yet, so she tried her best to hit the bell. When left and right didn't work, she pushed upwards, thinking that if she hit it a few more times it would eventually break open. However, the bell was very solid and she fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
After taking two puffs of the cigarette, he felt uncomfortable in his chest. He quickly stood up and kicked hard on the top of his head upside down three times in a row.
Suddenly, there was a "click" sound, as if a lid had been opened, and a rope ladder fell from above.
An Yan didn't think much about it. She climbed up the rope ladder and saw a spacious attic with several large boxes covered with thick dust. She didn't know what was inside, and she didn't have time to think about it.
When she saw smoke coming out of the entrance, she hurried over to pull up the rope ladder and then closed the lid.
There was only a window on one wall. She walked over and saw the windowsill piled with books. Looking out, she could see the scenery of half the city. It was already dusk, and the lights of thousands of houses would soon appear.
She opened one of the books, a miscellaneous book, as if to kill time.
I walked over to where the boxes were placed, opened one, and found it was full of pearls, with some oriental pearls mixed in, all of them were top quality. I opened another, and found gold and silver ingots. I opened another, and found it was full of calligraphy and paintings, and then I opened another, and found it was full of jadeite, priceless.
There was another box with only a piece of paper in it.
An Yan picked it up and read it. It said: What’s the use of getting it? You can only look at it but not spend it.
Maybe it was dirty, so no one dared to move it. An Yan frowned and picked up a jade pendant from the jade box next to her. There was a word "Qu" engraved on it.
She put it away, closed the boxes one by one, and sat on them, wondering how to get out. She would only die of thirst and hunger if she waited foolishly, and she didn't know whether Li Rongsen would come to save her.
On the other side, Li Rongsen was anxious because he couldn't find An Yan. He called Yan Qingqiu over and said to him, "I can't find An Yan."
"Don't we have cell phones these days?" Yan Qingqiu didn't find it scary. He believed that An Yan was strong enough and nothing would happen to her.
Li Rongsen said: "Her phone was turned off, and I couldn't find her at all. I looked for her in all the places she might have gone."
Yan Qingqiu then turned serious and asked, "Where was the last time you saw her? What was she doing?"
"She said she went to see the fake Li Rongsen."
"Where is the fake Li Rongsen now?" Yan Qingqiu asked.
"I don't know." Li Rongsen frowned and said, "I basically don't believe that the fake Li Rongsen has the ability to kidnap An Yan, but if he used some shady tricks, it's not impossible."
Yan Qingqiu stared at Li Rongsen for a long time and said, "It's possible to lure her to a place, trap her, and slowly torture her to death."
"Is there any other place in this city where An Yan can be trapped?" Li Rongsen asked.
"No one can hold her captive, unless it is an object," Yan Qingqiu analyzed.
"Where would that place be?" Li Rongsen's anxiety was self-evident.
"What time is it?"
"It's already eight o'clock in the evening."
"I don't have time to go back to West City, otherwise I could ask that old man for help." Yan Qingqiu said.
Li Rongsen frowned and said, "The only thing I know now is that An Yan left Sima Jixuan's company. Let's assume that what we just speculated is true. If An Yan is really trapped, will she leave some clues for us?"
"What did you think of?" Yan Qingqiu asked him directly.
“Maybe the clues will be on the way.”
"On the way?" Yan Qingqiu seemed not to understand what he meant.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"She will definitely expose the fake Li Rongsen, and he will definitely run away, and An Yan will chase him." Li Rongsen expressed his thoughts.
Yan Qingqiu finally understood what he meant and said, "Get off the car and look for it on the road."
Because Li Rongsen and Yan Qingqiu didn't know which road An Yan took, it was a bit difficult for them to find her, but fortunately there were two of them and they were particularly careful about intersections.
Sure enough, a mark was found at a four-way intersection.
An Yan drew an equilateral three-character pattern on the road sign. This was the mark they saw when they entered the maze to look for Zhou Qianqian.
Yan Qingqiu was pleasantly surprised and said, "This must be it. Let's look in this direction and it will definitely be the right one."
Li Rongsen breathed a sigh of relief and immediately continued searching in the same direction, finally finding the clue at a dead end.
This was originally the place where An Yan fought with the fake Li Rongsen, but now there is no trace of it at all.
Yan Qingqiu looked around and said, "Why did it break? It's so strange."
“Maybe we are going in the wrong direction?”
"It's not impossible. After all, the marks are not too dense. Maybe we missed some places." Yan Qingqiu also agreed with this statement and said, "Do you want to go back and take another look?"
Li Rongsen did not make a decision immediately. He just thought quietly, looked up at the sky, and found a flag erected on the roof. This flag did not have any special meaning. It was just for decoration. It did not even have a pattern. Maybe it was just hung for fun to judge the wind direction.
Yan Qingqiu looked up and asked, "What are you looking at? Did you find anything strange?"
Li Rongsen quickly climbed up the wall and walked onto the roof. He held the flag in one hand and looked at it carefully. He turned to Yan Qingqiu and said, "I was wrong. I thought there was something on the flag."
"Since there is nothing, let's go." Yan Qingqiu signaled him not to waste time and to look somewhere else quickly.
Li Rongsen was about to jump off the roof when he discovered several clear equilateral triangles on the ground and the wall. They were illuminated by the light. He instinctively looked for them and found that they were several leaves on the tree, all of which were carved with equilateral triangles.
Yan Qingqiu also saw it clearly and said, "Let's go over this roof."
Li Rongsen reached out and pulled Yan Qingqiu up, and then they walked along the roof to look for An Yan. They found themselves heading towards the ancient building in the west.
