Although Jiang Xu made it clear that Li Yue did not need to intervene in this matter, she was still a little worried in her heart.

Li Yue couldn't imagine how someone like Gu Mingxuan would treat Aunt Zhou.

But the longer Aunt Zhou stays in an unknown area, the more dangerous she will be.

Li Yue could not sleep almost all night.

So after dawn, she noticed Jiang Xu getting up next to her, and she opened her eyes slightly.

Soon after, the bedroom door was opened and closed, and Li Yue sat up from the bed.

She thought about it all night, and an idea gradually settled in her mind.

-

Gu Qingze was surprised when he received Li Yue's call.

Afraid of missing something, he quickly pressed the answer button.

After saying "Hello" over there, he asked straight to the point: "Gu Qingze, are you at home now?"

Gu Qingze was stunned for a moment, and then responded: "I'm getting ready to go out, what's wrong?"

"If you are busy, I won't disturb you."

With that said, Li Yue didn't want to talk nonsense and planned to hang up the phone.

"I'm not busy." Gu Qingze responded quickly, turning from passive to proactive and said, "You want to come to me? I'll drive to pick you up."

"No." Li Yue's voice paused, still extremely cold, "I remember a few years ago, I left some photos with you. I quite liked them. Can I have them back?"

Having said this, Li Yue lowered her eyes and began to fiddle with the green leaves of the potted plant. The emotion in her eyes was dark and unclear.

"Photos? There should be some. Why don't you come over and look for them? It will take too long and I won't be able to find them for a while."

"If you find it, just send it to me."

"If you want it all of a sudden, there must be something urgent. You used to pack these things. If you hadn't come, I might have had a harder time finding them." Gu Qingze said.

Li Yue responded and hung up the phone.

She touched the veins on the green leaves of the plant and thought to herself, it seemed that she knew Gu Qingze fairly well.

The more cold and distant she behaved, the more Gu Qingze worried about gain and loss.

Now, she had no choice but to go to Gu's house to inquire about Zhou Zhou's aunt.

As for the photos and everything else, they were all just nonsense on her part.

However, she had been there many times before, and there would always be a few small things she left behind in the Gu family. Even if she couldn't find the photos, the secret would not be revealed.

With this in mind, Li Yue packed up and set off for Gu's house.

When he saw Gu Qingze, there was a smile in his eyes, "Yueyue, I thought you would never look for me again."

Li Yue couldn't see any disturbance in her eyes. She walked in without looking away, "Just leave if you find me."

The villa is huge and it is not easy to find things from many years ago.

While Li Yue was rummaging around absentmindedly, he kept searching out of the corner of his eye to see if there were any other mechanisms here.

As time passed, she became anxious and accidentally broke a cup.

Li Yue was startled and subconsciously picked up the pieces on the ground.

The moment her fingertips were about to touch the fragments, Gu Qingze suddenly stretched out his hand to stop her.

Li Yue stopped and saw Gu Qingze's palm brushed against a sharp fragment and a cut was made.

Blood rushed out of the wound.

Gu Qingze had no time to care about his own injury. He looked at Li Yue's hand nervously and asked, "Are you okay?"

Li Yue shook her head and broke free from his hand.

After her eyes stayed on his wound for a second, she quickly moved away: "You're bleeding, take care of it."

Gu Qingze stared at her steadily: "It's not convenient for me. Can you help me?"

Li Yue was tired of seeing his tricks like this.

She stood up indifferently and walked to the other side: "Actually, it's not a big deal. If you don't deal with it, it will heal in a few minutes."

Gu Qingze didn't expect her to say that, and for a moment he didn't know how to refute.

After a moment, he chuckled and said indifferently: "That's what you said. Don't worry about these fragments. I'll ask someone to deal with them later."

At that time, Li Yue was staring out the window in a daze. When she heard what he said, she gave a perfunctory "hmm".

Suddenly thinking of something, Li Yue turned around and asked, "Are everything here?"

Gu Qingze thought for two seconds and subconsciously replied: "Some things will be moved to the basement if they are left for too long."

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something and changed the subject: "It's usually in this utility room."

Basement... Li Yue thought of the scene she saw when she mistakenly entered the basement of her home last night, and noticed Gu Qingze's expression when he said the wrong thing just now, and her eyes gradually darkened.

It seems that there is also a secret in the Gu family's basement.

She looked at Gu Qingze, who was still trying hard to find something for her, and suddenly lost interest and said, "It seems that I can't find it. I'll leave first."

After saying that, she raised her feet and walked out the door.

"Why don't you look for it again?" Gu Qingze stopped her and walked quickly in front of her to block the way, "Maybe you can find it. I won't lose your things, you know."

Li Yue walked around him and said, "It doesn't matter. Just send it to me next time you find it."

Seeing that Li Yue insisted on leaving without any hesitation, Gu Qingze put his hand in the middle of the door frame, completely blocking Li Yue.

Meeting Li Yue's gaze, Gu Qingze struggled internally for a few seconds, and finally said, "There is also something in the basement, I'll take you to see it."

Li Yue concealed the emotions in her eyes, pretended to look at him suspiciously, and said calmly: "Gu Qingze, you won't do the same trick to me a second time. What kind of deception is this?"

Gu Qingze's face was full of seriousness, and he said word by word: "I won't lie to you, Yueyue, you believe me."

Li Yue lowered her head slightly. After careful consideration, she relaxed: "Gu Qingze, I believe you for the last time. If you lie to me again..."

"will not."

Before Li Yue finished speaking, he was decisively interrupted by Gu Qingze.

Li Yue nodded slightly and followed Gu Qingze's footsteps towards the basement that she had never known before.

The closer she got to that place, the faster Li Yue's heart beat.

She didn't know what was ahead, nor what she would face later.

She could only move forward step by step.

The lock, which was so old that it was already stained with rust, was opened and hit the door, making a loud noise.

Gu Qingze turned back and glanced at Li Yue: "Yue Yue, the road down there is not easy to walk. If you are afraid, just wait for me outside."

Li Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, but she still insisted: "I'll go with you."

Gu Qingze was silent for a few seconds and then agreed: "Okay, but if you get scared later, you can come out at any time and wait outside."

Li Yue looked at the dark tunnel inside the door, pursed her lips and nodded.

It is obvious that few people come and go here. The wooden stairs are in disrepair and make a creaking sound with every step.

Li Yue's heart was in her throat. She held her breath and followed Gu Qingze.

Although there was endless fear in his heart, Li Yue still observed his surroundings vigilantly, seemingly looking for any difference.

In the narrow one-way passage, a fork suddenly appeared.

Gu Qingze walked straight forward, seemingly not surprised by the extra crossing.

Li Yue looked at the road, which was winding and winding, and seemed to have a dangerous and strange aura.

She swallowed her saliva and asked in a low voice, "What's over there?"
