Luo Cheng looked at the house and thought for a moment before saying, “This is Minister Wu’s house in town. Very few people live here, so a few servants were left here to guard the house!”
Minister Wu? Li Xiaoran thought of something. They had seen Minister Wu before.
As if he could read Li Xiaoran’s mind, Luo Cheng said,
“It’s the Minister Wu you’ve seen before!”
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “In that case, things will be easy!
“Huh?” No one expected Li Xiaoran to say that.
“Do we need to knock on the door?” Luo Cheng confirmed again.
“That’s right. Let’s use the excuse that were looking for Wang Mingjiang to enter!” Li Xiaoran said.
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he immediately understood and nodded. “Ziyang, go and knock on the door. Tell them that I brought my wife,
Li Xiaoran, to visit Wang Mingjiang!”
Luo Ziyang nodded and quickly walked forward to knock on the door.
Soon, the guard opened the door. When he learned that they were here to visit Wang Mingjiang, he was stunned.
Not many people knew that their young master’s name was Wang Mingjiang, and even the guard happened to find out about this by chance.
Therefore, the guard asked everyone to wait for a moment. Then, he closed the door and went in to report.
When Wang Mingjiang heard that Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran had come to look for him, he immediately laughed.
“Hurry up and invite them in! They’re my great benefactors!” As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Mingjiang stood up.
“No, no, no. It’s better for me to welcome them personally!”
Before long, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng saw Wang Mingjiang, who had appeared in front of the door.
“It’s really the two of you? But why are you two dressed like this?” Wang Mingjiang was shocked when he saw Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng in camouflage clothes.
“My parents are missing and I’m looking for them! I wonder if your family can let me go in and look for them? I’m only going to the southwest corner!” Li Xiaoran went straight to the point.
When Wang Mingjiang heard that it was a serious matter, he quickly nodded.
“How can it be inconvenient? This concerns the two elders’ safety, so I’ll bring you guys there now! Speaking of which, this courtyard in the southwest corner has always been abandoned. In the past, I heard that someone died in this courtyard and it became haunted, so I sealed it. Are you guys sure you want to go to this courtyard?”
As Wang Mingjiang spoke, he led Li Xiaoran, Luo Cheng, and the others towards the courtyard in the southwest corner.
“Haunted? Since it’s haunted, why are you still living here? Aren’t you afraid that something will happen?” Li Xiaoran asked curiously.
“Afraid? What’s there to be afraid of? After experiencing those things, I’m not afraid of anything! Besides, people are more terrifying than ghosts! What’s so scary about ghosts?!” Wang Mingjiang said.
“Then why are you living here?” Luo Cheng asked curiously.
Wang Mingjiang said, “I don’t want to live in the Wu family’s home, since it’s full of drama. I like to live with my family. My father couldn’t change my mind, so he gave me this house! By the way, my foster parents and my sister have also been sent to a very safe place so that they can start a new life without being implicated by me!”
Li Xiaoran frowned and asked, “Your family’s matter hasn’t been resolved yet?”
Wang Mingjiang said, “Resolve it? How? In a big family, there are many dirty secrets! I don’t want to interfere. Anyway, now that I’ve already separated from them, the Wu family has nothing to do with me. I’m only responsible for supporting my parents!” Wang Mingjiang said, “It’s not that I don’t want to investigate, but there are too many things involved. Moreover, what does it matter if we investigate or not? I don’t want those benefits anymore, so I naturally won’t become a thorn in those people’s side!”
Luo Cheng glanced at Wang Mingjiang. He knew that he wasn’t telling the truth.
Every family had their own difficulties. Other people’s lives were in their own hands, so they couldn’t interfere.
As thev sooke. thev arrived at the courtvard in the southwest corner.
The torch illuminated a piece of land. The words “Chenxin Garden” were hanging in the courtyard.
After pushing open the door, they saw a pile of lush weeds. At a glance, it looked quite desolate.
Wang Mingjiang looked at the courtyard and said, “Are you sure your parents are hidden here? This courtyard doesn’t look big, but it’s actually quite big. It’ll probably take a lot of effort to find two people!”
“No need!” Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and looked around while secretly sensing everything inside.
Soon, Li Xiaoran sensed two emotions, so she smiled. Li Xiaoran pointed in a direction and said, “Let’s go this way!”
Soon, the group arrived at a place that looked like a kitchen.
However, other than weeds and a broken stove, there was nothing else around.
“Could it be that your parents are hiding in this broken kitchen?” Wang Mingjiang guessed.
After Li Xiaoran walked around, her gaze finally landed on a place.
“Where is this place?” Li Xiaoran asked.
Wang Mingjiang shook his head and said, “I don’t know! I’ve never been here before!”
“Clean this place up so we can take a look!” Li Xiaoran pointed at the place covered in weeds in front of her.
When the others heard this, they immediately came over to clean up.
Wang Mingjiang even asked someone to send a machete and hoe to clean up this place.
Before long, a dry well came into view.
“I remember now. It’s said that someone died in this dry well in the past, so this well was filled up later! ” The butler Mr. Wu thought of something and said. Li Xiaoran looked at the dry well in front of her and said, “Open the stone slab!” Everyone moved the stone slab together.
As soon as the stone slab moved away, the scene in front of them stunned everyone. Even Li Xiaoqing couldn’t help but tear up.
At this moment, the injured Li Shun was lying in the dry well.
A pit had been dug in the dry well and Li Shun was lying in the middle of the pit.
Luo Ziyang quickly jumped down before jumping out of the dry well with Li
Shun.
Luo Cheng quickly went forward to take Li Shun’s pulse, then he looked at Li Xiaoran.
“He’s fine. He just suffered some superficial wounds. He’ll be fine after he recuperates!”
Li Xiaoran and Li Xiao Qing nodded, but then they became worried again. Her father had been found, but what about her mother, Zhao Xiu?
“We underestimated Liu Mingkun!” Luo Cheng said..
