Chapter 186 Investigation

After letting the person in for testing, He Caiwei went to the kitchen to get herself a cup of milk tea and slowly drank it.

She had been on tenterhooks all night and was starving, but everything else tasted too strong right now. Milk tea was alright, so she chose that.

She hadn't even finished her milk tea when the test results came out. Sure enough, she was still a frail scholar with a weak constitution.

The whip marks on his body, the pinch marks on his hands, your laughter, the toes on his feet were all smashed, the bones in his legs were still intact, and the bones in his hands, except for his fingers, were also intact. The internal injuries were probably from being kicked, his liver was ruptured and bleeding, and his spleen was also ruptured...

He Caiwei turned around and looked at the data transmitted from the detector to the treatment chamber. She found that only 10 kilograms of gold was needed, which was acceptable. The injury wasn't that serious. Although it was described as a serious injury, it wasn't even half as serious as her second brother's.

After putting the person back into the treatment chamber, what did He Caiwei say? She put in the gold, closed the lid, and ran to see her second brother.

The treatment chamber is very effective; her second brother's facial injuries have healed considerably, and the wounds on his face are now scabbing over and peeling off.

Once he confirmed that the other person could be released in four days, he turned and left the space. He had to go back first, otherwise her uncle and her father would be worried.

The round trip with Caiwei took about 40 minutes. When they got back, his uncle and father were indeed getting a little anxious and were just thinking of going to find her when she arrived.

"How is it? Can he be saved? Have you gone to check on your second brother?" Lu Zhiheng was a little worried about his daughter, and also a little worried about the comrade who had been rescued.

"Yes, this guy looks badly injured, but he's actually just a weak scholar with a frail constitution. So his injuries aren't as severe as my second brother's. He'll need four days and 10 kilograms of gold. My second brother's skin on his face has already started to scab over and then peel. Don't worry, that place is reliable; the treatment results will definitely surprise you..."

"It's good that they can be cured, it's good that they can be cured. When will these two wake up? Should we interrogate them first, or go and check that place first..." What Lu Zhiheng wanted to do most right now was to go and see that place again, to see if it was the same place where he had been imprisoned before.

“They’ve been unconscious for 48 hours. Otherwise, I’ll tie them up like this, find a place to stuff them in, and then go in and check on them.” He Caiwei thought these two could be left alone for the time being, but she didn’t know how many other people were inside.

“The most active time here is in the latter half of the night. It’s still a bit early now, but there are quite a few people here, so it’s not very practical to just go in like this.” Lu Zhiheng had been here before, so he knew when it was most active.

Down there, working day and night, he shouldn't have known when or how he was being interrogated. But before he lost consciousness, he heard the man say it was past 2 a.m.

Finally, based on his own timing method, he discovered that he had been interrogated there for two days and two nights, and that the interrogation room would become particularly noisy in the latter half of the night, so going in now was a bit unrealistic.

"What should we do? But I'm afraid someone will see us. It's lively inside at night. Why don't you and Uncle wait outside, Dad? I'll go in and take a look myself. I'm short and fast. I'll go in and take a look first..." He Caiwei wanted to go in and take a look. If all else failed, she could find a place to go in and then go back to her space. She could observe the outside world from there without being discovered.

"No, it's too dangerous. No matter how urgent it is, we can't let you take such a risk..." Neither of the adults wanted her, a child, to go on a dangerous mission.

"You stay here with your uncle, I'll go take a look..." Lu Zhiheng's body has recovered to its original state over the years, so exploring an underground secret room is no problem for him.

“Okay, your dad goes, we’ll wait for him outside…” Uncle Lu knew that Lu’s father was skilled and faster than him, so he let Lu’s father go.

“Okay, Dad, be careful. If there’s any problem, just come out... We’ll block that door so it won’t close again…” He Caiwei was already secretly planning how to keep the door from closing, so that if anything happened, it would be easier for her father to leave.

"I understand. Be careful, people can come here at any time. Don't accidentally run into them." Before going in, Lu Zhiheng reminded the two of them to hide well.

"Wait, here's a packet of sleeping pills for you. You have to take this too. If you get caught, just take out this packet and spray it..." He Caiwei was still a little worried, so her father simply took out the sleeping pills. No matter what, her father's safety was the most important thing.

"I know, I know, little housekeeper, I'll definitely prioritize my own safety..." Lu Zhiheng found a way to enter the secret passage. He listened carefully for a while and, after noticing any unusual noises, cautiously began to descend.

He held the packet of sleeping pills in one hand and the gun his eldest daughter had given him in the other.

Not long after Lu Zhiheng went down, He Caiwei heard a car approaching at the foot of the mountain, and she felt something was wrong.

“Uncle, someone’s coming from the foot of the mountain… a car that’s a bit heavier than ours, the sound of five people’s footsteps, and one of them is wearing shackles…” He Caiwei spoke very softly, standing very close to her uncle.

"Let's see if we can get paid, no matter what, let's kill them first..." When Uncle Lu heard someone wearing shackles, he knew that those people had arrested their comrades again.

He Caiwei listened to her uncle and gently stepped twice on the entrance to the tunnel, using the pre-arranged signal with her father to let him know that someone had arrived.

Afterwards, each person took a dagger and a gun, found cover on the nearby rocks, and carefully watched the people coming up from the bottom of the mountain.

The person who was captured had a black cloth bag over his head, chains and shackles on his hands and feet, and ropes tied around his body.

“Weiwei, listen carefully, I hear something odd about what they’re saying…” Lu Zhining was afraid she had misheard and wanted her niece to hear it too.

"Yes, Uncle, he sounded like a Japanese person... This interrogation room is a Japanese place..." He Caiwei felt there was no mistake in what he said; it was definitely a Japanese person. She just didn't know who the person they had arrested was, or which side he was on.

"What should we do about Uncle?" He Caiwei didn't know her uncle's decision, so she could only look up at him.

Uncle Lu made a throat-slitting gesture, and He Caiwei immediately understood, then made two gestures for each of them.

After discussing their plan, the two carefully hid and found the best spot to ambush the four people. They had to slit the throats of the four before they got close to the secret passage, so that they would not go any further.

The most important thing now is to ensure that her father is not discovered.
