After waiting and tormenting for a while, night finally arrived.
Around eight-thirty, Ji Chenxi arrived at the Ji Residence.
Considering that Mu Wanrong must have done something related to the surveillance, he chose to sneak in. Even though the Ji Residence's protection system was very high-end, it was not difficult for him, who possessed a special ability. Once, no matter how heavily guarded her guard was, he would be able to successfully break into any dangerous place.
After entering, he was not in a hurry to go straight to the ancestral house, but first came to the grassy area at the lake to the east of the manor. Ji Ziqian would come here to raise his pet, the Little Hidden Mastiff, after dinner every day, and tonight as well.
The little Tibetan mastiff had a very keen sense of smell, it immediately smelled Ji Chenxi's presence and instinctively pounced towards him.
Ji Ziqian's attention was naturally attracted over and he anxiously shouted, "Hey, little You You You, that's my brother, you can't do anything to him."
The Little Hidden Mastiff was truly worthy of following Ji Ziqian for a long time. Just this kind of call was enough to make it stop, but it still raised its head and looked at Ji Chenxi warily.
Ji Ziqian also gradually closed in, and during this time, he had already remembered his disagreement with Ji Chenxi, so he recovered his arrogance and awkwardness. He didn't even look at Ji Chenxi, and started to play with his little Tibetan Mastiff's claws.
The corner of Ji Chenxi's mouth raised, his tall and straight body slowly squatted down, and touched the top of his little Tibetan mastiff's head.
Well, he doesn't like it!" Soon, Ji Ziqian yelled again. A child was still a child after all; he really couldn't hold it in anymore.
Ji Chenxi continued to be silent, his phoenix eyes lightly swept towards him, but his expression was not as cold and stern as before.
This imperceptibly affected Ji Ziqian, so what kind of grudges and backbone was this, he had long been thrown far away, and when she looked back at him, he asked, "Where's Big Sister Gu Rou?"
"He's gone." After a while, Ji Chenxi replied, he remained silent.
Hearing that, Ji Ziqian was surprised, "She's gone? "What do you mean?"
Ji Chenxi reached out to grab the other paw of the Little Hidden Mastiff, and continued to speak in a light voice, "It's just gone, it was taken away by someone."
Ji Ziqian was no longer able to stay calm, and her expression became even more pale. Who took it? And you, why didn't you rescue her? And you're her boyfriend? "
"I can't save him."
Unable to save him?
In that instant, Ji Ziqian felt as if something had fiercely grabbed onto his throat and he was no longer able to utter a single word.
The man in front of him had always been his idol. In his eyes, he looked powerful and mighty, like a warrior. Even though this man didn't appreciate his kindness, he would often ignore him and never let him call him brother.
"It was Granny Rong who captured her."
"Granny Rong? "You mean, shall I have my aunt?" Finally, he opened his mouth again, and his dark, bright eyes were filled with disbelief.
Although Ji Ziqian was a descendant of the Ji Family, but because his mother was Mu Jianyi, Mu Wanrong's niece, she had called Mu Wanrong by two names.
Seeing Ji Chenxi nod his head and looking at the Ancestral House with a serious look on his face, Ji Ziqian also calmed down. The little guy had indeed worshipped this big brother and learned even the most mature and steady side of him.
"Sister Gu Rou hasn't eaten in a few days. Being locked in a dark room, she must be scared. Ji Chenxi muttered to himself at first, then turned his gaze back and landed on Ji Ziqian's face, "Do you want to save big sister Gu Rou?"
"Yes!" Ji Ziqian did not hesitate to answer immediately, and when he heard Ji Chenxi say that he would save Gu Rou together with him, he felt as if his whole body was on fire, as he responded excitedly.
After spending ten minutes, Ji Chenxi told the little fellow the details of his rescue plan. After he finished speaking, he asked her two questions: "Have you memorized everything?" Are you sure you want to keep this a secret?
Mm, I've memorized everything!
I, Ji Ziqian, swear to the heavens!
The corner of Ji Chenxi's beautiful lips curved up once again, forming a special arc. His peerlessly handsome face became even more charming and alluring.
Without further ado, Ji Ziqian left the grassland and headed straight for the Ji Clan Ancestral House. Soon after, Ji Chenxi also followed along.
About 15 minutes later, a great commotion broke out in the side hall of the Ancestral House. "Fire!" "Hurry and save the fire!"
The fire not only came fast, but it was also fierce. The view was filled with thick white smoke, and no one knew what to do. During this period of chaos, however, a tall and agile figure rushed into the side chamber without anyone noticing.
After all, he had lived in this manor since he was young, and although he had not entered many times, he could still remember some places clearly, especially this side hall. When he was young, he had visited his grandmother a few times, and she was his own grandmother.
It was as if he had once again seen his grandmother's smiling face.
Grandma, if you have spirit in the sky, please bless Xiao Xi and save Gu Rou!
Inside his heart, he silently prayed. Ji Chenxi's eyes were sharp as he quickly scanned his surroundings, wondering which room was Gu Rou imprisoned in.
The fire was getting bigger and bigger, so he didn't have much time to waste. He focused his attention on three of the rooms and started the operation.
The rooms were locked, but it was not difficult for him to unlock them. Soon, he forced open the door.
The first room was empty!
The second room, was the same!
The third room still did not exist!
Had his ability to discern decreased?
While feeling depressed, he could only continue to open another room. As time became more and more urgent, his heart became more and more anxious.
The fourth, the fifth …
He opened all seven of them one by one, but he still could not see the beautiful figure he was deeply concerned about!
How could this be!
Didn't Ji Zijie say that he was in the side hall?
Could it be that Ji Zijie was lying? Setting traps to harm him?
No, no!
Although they had fought for so many years, Ji Zijie still hated him to the bones, and wished for nothing more than for him to die, but this time, he was unexpectedly determined, and firmly believed that Ji Zijie truly wanted to help him!
Because, the one waiting for rescue, was Gu Rou.
Therefore, it couldn't be wrong!
After confirming that, he continued to search for the right move, and gradually, without caring about anything else, he shouted out Gu Rou's name.
He ran back into the room and kept shouting, louder and louder, his tone more urgent.
During this time, he choked on the thick smoke, and his throat instantly felt like something was strangling it. He felt extremely uncomfortable, and his natural reaction was to immediately shed tears, and his vision began to blur.
He coughed loudly a few times and quickly wiped away his tears. Then, he covered his nose and mouth with his large hands as he continued searching.
He had a feeling that she was here, in one of the rooms. He couldn't find her, and must have missed something!
What went wrong?
He suddenly stopped and thought hard. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind and three words appeared: Room in the middle of the room!
Yes, how could he have ignored this question!
Such a form of imprisonment was not uncommon, and it was more likely that this ancestral house had been built during the period of the Republic!
Chaotic thoughts quickly settled, and a new direction appeared in his head. His gloomy heart seemed to have lit up in an instant. Without delay, he returned to the three rooms he had chosen and started his search once more.
