That person then searched various places in the manor, presumably without finding anything here.

He must have gone search elsewhere.

Jiang Yining lay on the bed and sighed tiredly as she pondered silently.

She wondered if it was because she had changed her place to sleep, oddly enough, she felt more at ease.

After a short pondering, she fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up again, the sky outside was already as dark as ink.

The lights were off in the room and it was dark.

When Jiang Yining got up in a daze, she caught a glimpse of a fluorescent light flashing on the ceiling. At first, she thought it was just an illusion, but when she rubbed her eyes and looked back again, she clearly saw that the ceiling was indeed filled with dots of dark light. Moreover, these lights twinkled in a quite rhythmic pattern.

Jiang Yining exclaimed, then turned on the lights and took out a pen and paper.

After turning off the light again, she recorded a series of numbers based on the frequency of the flashing light spots.

After a long time, she turned on the light and looked at the words on the white paper.

She frowned.

It was computer code.

However, it was encrypted.

But it wasn’t difficult for her.

Jiang Yining sat cross-legged on the bed, fully immersed in the decoding process.

Unknowingly, time slowly passed until nine o’clock sharp.

The servant couldn’t wait any longer for Jiang Yining to leave the room, so she came over and knocked on the door.

“Young Mistress, it’s time for dinner.”

“Okay, I’ll come out now.”

Jiang Yining wrote down the last code, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

So that’s how it is.

There were treasures hidden in the Xie family’s old mansion, left by their ancestors.

No wonder someone went to great lengths and paid a hefty sum to stay here for a month.

She wondered if that person had taken the treasure.

If not, then the treasure would belong to her!

After all, she was the owner of the Peninsula Manor.

Jiang Yining put the note away in high spirits and walked out.

She quickly finished her meal and went out to look for something.

Just as Jiang Yining left, a black Maserati drove into the manor.

The servant hurriedly rushed over and opened the car door.

Lu Zhi, who wore a suit, got out of the car with a cold expression and noble temperament.

“Where’s Yining?”

“Young Mistress just finished eating and went out for a walk.”

The servant dared not make eye contact and answered in a low voice.

Lu Zhi frowned. “Which direction did she go?”

“That way.”

The servant pointed in the direction where Jiang Yining had disappeared.

Lu Zhi’s long legs stretched out as he chased after her.

Jiang Yining followed the clues on the note and searched around the Peninsula Manor.

Then, she realized…

No wonder that person would appear at night.

These consecutive clues were all made of fluorescent light.

They couldn’t be noticed until nighttime.

She was very interested in these codes.

Because the other party was also a computer expert, the codes he set were very complicated.

Ordinary people really couldn’t solve it.

Jiang Yining cracked all the passwords along the way excitedly and finally stopped in front of the lotus pond in the Peninsula Manor.

The lotus pond was connected to the river.

There was running water all year round…

Jiang Yining looked at the dragon head statue in the middle of the pool. She took off her shoes and carried it in her hands. She waded into the water and walked up to it.

Just a click.

The dragon head slowly sank, and Jiang Yining didn’t have time to react.

The surrounding water was like a tornado, pulling her down.

Lu Zhi rushed over.

Coincidentally, he saw this scene and his expression tensed up.

“Jiang Yining!”

A deep exclamation spread in the air, followed by the sound of a heavy object plunging into the water.

Lu Zhi had already jumped into the lotus pond and hugged Jiang Yining.

Both of them were sucked into the water.

When the water gradually subsided…

Jiang Yining opened her eyes and met Lu Zhi’s cold and handsome face. Her throat was a little dry. “Why did you jump down?”

The situation just now was so dangerous.

Wasn’t he afraid?

Lu Zhi held her tightly, almost embedding her into his body. He gritted his teeth and asked sternly, “Why did you jump into the water to commit suicide?”

Jiang Yining was speechless.

When did she attempt suicide?

Even if the world was ending, she would never commit suicide, alright?

Jiang Yining thought for a moment and coughed lightly as she said, “You’ve misunderstood. I was walking to the middle of the lotus pond when a hole suddenly appeared in the water. I was sucked into it.”

Lu Zhi’s gaze locked onto her face, observing the changes in her expression.

He found no trace of her lying.

Only then did he look around.

Jiang Yining was also surveying the surroundings.

Under the water was a cave with traces of artificial excavation around it.

It was unclear if there was a drainage system, but the water flowing down from above disappeared automatically. There was no sign of water accumulation.

This explained how they could breathe in the cave without being submerged.

Jiang Yining noticed a secret passage beside the cave.

She boldly walked forward.

Lu Zhi, however, pulled her back and said, “Follow behind me..”
