Chapter 1501: Who Could Blame Them for Being So Curious

On the other side, Fu Yan Cheng had no idea that his wife had almost gotten into trouble after entering the family compound.

He was leading a group of men, spreading out to search from where the woman had gotten off the vehicle, but before setting out, to facilitate their movement, they had all changed into plain clothes.

Yet after more than two hours, they had found absolutely nothing, as if the woman had never appeared here at all, with not a single clue.

Fu Yan Cheng could not help but frown: Could it be that woman's illusion technique?

But when his wife parted with him, she had specifically said that woman had not turned, but had gone straight into the village; where did that woman go?

He carefully recalled the route just now in his mind, suddenly thinking of something: "Send two men to follow me, the rest split up and search again in a carpet-style sweep, do not miss any trace."

After speaking, he took two men with good skills and returned all the way, stopping only in front of a stone house.

By now the sky had grown dark, and very few people were moving about in the village, which actually facilitated their movement.

Fu Yan Cheng led the men deeper inside, stopping only at a narrow gap left between the construction of two houses.

The reason they came here was that when they had come before, they had not entered from here; at that time he had not thought much of it, only feeling that this was a gap left when the two families built their houses, intended to let rainwater drip from the eaves.

But the ground in between was far too clean; after thinking carefully, it was likely someone passed through here frequently, which is why it had not become overgrown with wild grass.

One of the men following behind him whispered softly: "Deputy Regiment Commander, shall we go in?"

Fu Yan Cheng had already decided when he came: "Leave one person outside to stand watch first; wait until we have all gone in before following us in."

Fu Yan Cheng took the lead, turning sideways, rising on his tiptoes, and barely squeezing through.

By the time he had gone in a hundred meters, the second person followed in; this way, if something happened, they would not be crowded together and unable to escape.

Seeing the Deputy Regiment Commander and the other comrade had both passed through safely, the last soldier, after confirming the outside was safe, also turned sideways and walked in.

Fu Yan Cheng never expected that after coming in, there was a whole new world inside.

From the outside, this place looked like a wall, but that wall was actually two meters away from the two houses, and behind it was an alley.

However, the path on the left was only four or five meters long, ending with no road ahead, becoming someone else's back wall, while the right side stretched more than ten meters, and at the end was a path leading underground.

After they felt their way in the dark, they discovered quite a few rooms below.

But currently, only one room was lit.

Fu Yan Cheng told the comrade who had entered last to stay in place on standby, and took the other comrade to cautiously bend low and feel their way over.

As soon as they reached the lit room, they heard a male voice: "Damn it, where exactly did he hide the thing? Two-thirds of our people have been lost."

"Since we cannot find it, it is better to cut our losses and advance the plan directly; if the matter succeeds, I believe the merits will offset the faults, and we can leave this place sooner, sparing ourselves from living in constant fear every day."

"Have you dealt with those few people properly?"

At this, a female voice came; Fu Yan Cheng recognized it as the woman who had ridden in the car with them before: "Rest assured, they have all been dealt with; only the dead can keep secrets."

"Shi Yue, you are truly ruthless; those were your own brother and niece; could you really bring yourself to do it?"

The woman spoke only after a long while: "No one's life is more important than my son's; they can only blame themselves for knowing things they should not have known; who asked them to be so curious? It is no one else's fault."
