Fu Ge did stay until 11 0’clock and left. He wanted to do something, but… He felt that it was better to wait.
After Fu Ge left, Qin Jianxi changed her clothes and left the house.
She did not drive… In just half an hour, she arrived at the Qin family’s house.
The Qin family seemed to be quite quiet tonight, and they went to bed quite early.
Just as she was about to find a spot to go up to the second floor, she realized that Zhu Jing had come out sneakily and was walking towards the villa’s back garden.
Qin Jianxi felt extremely strange. What was Zhu Jing doing in the back garden in the middle of the night?
Could it be… meeting her lover?
Qin Jianxi followed her quietly and saw Zhu Jing coming to a short house in the back garden. She stopped and knocked on the door a few times.
The light in the short house turned on, and the door was opened.
With the help of the moonlight, Qin Jianxi saw that the person who opened the door was an old woman whose face was a little disfigured.
After searching the original owner’s memory, she realized that she didn’t know this old woman. The original owner didn’t seem to have even been here before. She suddenly thought of the old woman that Yan Kuan had mentioned.
This old woman fit the bill.
She watched as Zhu Jing walked in and closed the door. She quickly moved her feet and came to the window of the house.
However, the window was closed, and there was an opaque curtain hanging inside, so she couldn’t see.
After thinking for a while, she took a deep breath and jumped onto the roof. She saw a slanted window. She slowly opened the slanted window on the roof and saw that Zhu Jing had opened a secret door on the floor.
Then, she walked down.
Qin Jianxi was shocked. There was actually a bas.e.m.e.nt in such an unremarkable place.
What was the bas.e.m.e.nt for? Why did Zhu Jing come to this bas.e.m.e.nt in the middle of the night?
However, she could not see what the bas.e.m.e.nt looked like now. After Zhu Jing went down, the old woman fixed the secret door of the bas.e.m.e.nt.
Qin Jianxi thought for a while and took out her phone. She opened the camera function and took a look…
It was a test of Qin Jianxi’s endurance to lie there without moving. About half an hour later, Zhu Jing finally came out again. She left without saying anything.
Qin Jianxi was very curious about the bas.e.m.e.nt. She kept her phone and waited for the old woman to go to bed. Then, she opened the window and jumped down.
She didn’t go to the bas.e.m.e.nt immediately but went to the old woman’s room first. She touched the bedside, took out something from her arms, and put it under the old woman’s nose for the smoke to go in.
Then, she came out again.
She opened the secret door on the floor.
She walked down the stairs.
There was a faint light in the bas.e.m.e.nt, allowing Qin Jianxi to see the bas.e.m.e.nt clearly. It was very small, about ten square meters, and the decoration was simple.
Fortunately, there was no strange smell.
Qin Jianxi’s gaze immediately fell on the woman whose hands were tied to the head of the bed.
Her pupils contracted.
Who was this?
Why did Zhu Jing hide such a woman in this bas.e.m.e.nt?
An unbelievable thought struck her.
And it made her slowly move to the side of the bed.
At this moment, the woman on the bed slowly turned her head and saw Qin Jianxi.
Their gazes met, and both were clearly shocked.
Zhu Zhongjun’s entire body trembled, and then her tears flowed out uncontrollably, blurring her eyes.
Was this her daughter, Xixi?
