Jiang Ming sneered and then walked in the direction that Xu Chuchu mentioned.
Soon, they arrived at the courtyard.
Just as Xu Chuchu had said, the courtyard was extremely dilapidated. There were weeds everywhere. It was as if no one had cleaned it all year round. However, there were traces of people walking around.
The servants in the mansion were all busy, and there was no one in the courtyard.
Jiang Ming exhaled.
“It’s a good thing there was a birth. It bought us some time. Let’s continue looking.”
Xu Chuchu responded and then began to move the weeds to look for the entrance to the brothel.
However, no matter how hard they searched, they could not find the entrance to the brothel.
Xu Chuchu could not help but sigh.
“The entrance to this brothel is impossible to find. Where can it be hidden?”
“Could it be here?”
Jiang Ming noticed a well in the corner of the courtyard and gestured to Xu Chuchu.
Xu Chuchu looked at the well and grinned. “I don’t think so. This is a well. How can it be an entrance?”
Jiang Ming gritted his teeth. “This is the only place we can enter. There are no other places we can enter. Let’s take a gamble. If we can get into the brothel, then we made the right bet. If not, we’ll go out.”
“That’s the only way.” Xu Chuchu nodded.
Then, she jumped down with Jiang Ming.
The well was very deep, and Xu Chuchu’s hovering spell was not very good. She could not help but feel a little afraid.
Jiang Ming held her arm tightly and said carefully, “It’s okay. I’m by your side.”
Xu Chuchu finally calmed down.
Then, she said to Jiang Ming in her heart, “Thank you, Jiu Zhu.”
A moment later, they landed on the ground, but the surroundings were extremely dark. They could not see the path under their feet at all.
Xu Chuchu thought for a moment and snapped her fingers. Suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of her, and the surroundings were lit up.
Jiang Ming could not help but be pleasantly surprised. “I didn’t expect you to have such a spell. This is great. We’ll be able to go a little smoother later.”
Xu Chuchu lowered her head shyly. “This is nothing. Oh right, Jiu Zhu, there seems to be a cave in front.”
She seemed to have noticed something and frowned.
Following her gaze, Jiang Ming also saw the cave entrance.
The hole was big enough for one person to enter. There seemed to be a long tunnel inside.
However, the surroundings of the cave entrance were sealed off. It was obviously man-made.
“Let’s go in and take a look.”
Jiang Ming guessed that this was the place, so he brought Xu Chuchu in.
With Xu Chuchu’s spell, they could see the path inside clearly.
The tunnel was very narrow, but the surroundings were clean. It was obvious that someone had taken care of it often.
Jiang Ming felt that what he was thinking about was right in front of him.
Just as he was thinking about it, tens of thousands of arrows suddenly shot out from the surroundings.
The path at the entrance of the cave was small, to begin with. It was difficult for them to dodge the arrows. When Jiang Ming saw this, he simply embraced Xu Chuchu and raised his hand to release a barrier.
The barrier surrounded them, and the arrows bounced back one by one.
Xu Chuchu felt the warmth in Jiang Ming’s arms and could not help but be stunned for a moment. Then, she felt a wave of warmth surge into her heart. She hugged Jiang Ming. Her heart was fluttering.
She felt that Jiang Ming was being very protective.
Jiang Ming let go of Xu Chuchu when he noticed that the attack seemed to have stopped. Then, he realized something and quickly said, “I’m sorry, Xu Chuchu. I had no choice but to hug you just now.”
Xu Chuchu shook her head and continued walking with Jiang Ming.
This time, their journey was smooth. There were no other traps around, which made Jiang Ming feel relieved.
Soon after, they came to a secret room. Through the small window on the door, they saw Chu Wanwan.
At this moment, Chu Wanwan looked extremely exhausted.
Jiang Ming and Xu Chuchu did not make any sound, but the guards seemed to have noticed them. They quickly said, “Someone has gone in. Let’s go and take a look. I didn’t expect someone to be so bold as to dare to barge in.”
Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment and frowned.
What was going on? They did not make any noise.
However, they did not have time to overthink. When they saw a pile of rocks next to them, Jiang Ming pulled Xu Chuchu and hid behind the pile of rocks.
Following that, they heard the sound of a group of people passing through. There were quite a number of them.
Jiang Ming sighed.
This was great. With so many people, how could the two of them fight their way out?
Chu Wanwan also saw Jiang Ming through the small window, and she instantly became extremely nervous.
The guard seemed to have noticed Chu Wanwan’s reaction and asked, “Where are the intruders? Hurry up and tell me, or I’ll teach you a lesson!”
Jiang Ming could not help but sneer.
These people were quite stupid to actually ask Chu Wanwan this question. What if Chu Wanwan outwitted them by giving them the wrong location?
Sure enough, Chu Wanwan gestured in the direction of the entrance. Those people immediately thought that Jiang Ming and the others had escaped, so they gathered.
“Let’s go out and take a look. Don’t let them leave this place. Otherwise, if Young Master finds out, we’ll be the ones getting beaten up.”
The group of people hurriedly rushed toward the entrance.
After hearing the commotion, Jiang Ming came out with Xu Chuchu and untied Chu Wanwan.
Chu Wanwan was sick of being bound. Since she was finally free, she could not help but heave a sigh of relief. She turned to look at Jiang Ming gratefully and said, “Jiu Zhu, I knew you would come to save me. Thank goodness, I have you. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t know what to do.”
Then, she looked at Xu Chuchu again, but she did not say anything else.
She knew that she should thank Xu Chuchu, but she felt a little uncomfortable that Xu Chuchu and Jiang Ming came at the same time, so she did not want to thank them.
Moreover, she felt that Xu Chuchu was obliged to save her. After all, the cafe belonged to the village. Without her, the cafe would not be able to continue operating.
Xu Chuchu grinned.
She roughly knew what Chu Wanwan was thinking, but she did not want to argue with her.
Chu Wanwan was raised to be ignorant of the world, and she was also very spoiled.
At the thought of this, she decided not to speak anymore.
Jiang Ming looked around and said, “There should be a path leading to the mansion in front. I think we should hide nearby and wait for them to go out before entering from this entrance. Otherwise, we’ll be walking into trouble.”
Xu Chuchu nodded.
“That’s right. I’ll listen to you.”
“I’ll listen to you too,” Chu Wanwan said. “Jiu Zhu, your plan is really good.”
