After receiving the certificate, she was pinched and doted on by the wealthy heir.

The door was locked from the outside!

This discovery made Xia Taozhi's heart sink.

As expected, she expected that what Gui Yunrong said before was probably meant for her subordinates to hear. From the beginning to the end, she did not want to let go of everyone who came to participate in the event today.

Including Xu Zhenhui and Han Yue.

Seeing that Xia Taozhi didn't go out, Han Yue panicked: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Is the door locked?"

"Yes, it's locked from the outside."

This sentence is enough, Xu Zhenhui and Han Yue both know what it means.

The expressions of both of them changed.

"Let's go, let's go somewhere else." Xia Taozhi immediately turned around.

This area is huge and there should be more than one exit.

Han Yue followed her closely, supporting Xu Zhenhui while suppressing her inner uneasiness.

Bad news came one after another. They found four or five exits in a row, and all of them were locked from the outside.

Han Yue's shoulders sank and she cried: "No, what exactly does Gui Yunrong want to do? Does she want to invite you into the pot and catch us all? Isn't she afraid of offending Han Xiao?"

Xu Zhenhui was also panicked and did not dare to show it.

Looking at Xia Taozhi again, she calmed down, her lowered eyelids trembling slightly.

She is looking at her phone.

Han Yue: "The signal is completely gone. We can't even get online. Sister-in-law, what are you watching?"

"I downloaded the webpage before, and I remember there were photos and maps of this private mountain village. I'm looking for it." After she scrawled her answer, she moved faster.

This is one of her habits.

When looking for materials everywhere, she often downloads photos of these special buildings and ancient paintings to her mobile phone.

When she first arrived here, she felt a little familiar. Now that she thought about it, she seemed to have downloaded photos of this manor, and even included a map.

Hearing this, Han Yue stared at her with wide eyes.

He didn't dare to make a sound, he didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of disturbing Xia Taozhi.

"There is."

Xia Taozhi actually found a structural diagram.

She took a quick look and said: "There is a basement below the area we are in. The basement is connected to the basement in another area. It should be the same as here. It is a hall used for hosting banquets for guests."

Han Yue: "Then let's go there. Maybe there is a way out there."

"Yeah." She nodded, "But we need to prepare something first."

Han Yue was confused: "What else should I prepare?"

"Shh, come with me."

Xia Taozhi led the two of them to find the kitchen in the hall according to the instructions on the structure diagram.

After placing Xu Zhenhui and Han Yue at the door, she went in alone.

After a while, she packed a backpack and came out, filled with food and water.

"Let's go."

She led the way, and now she reached the entrance to the basement smoothly.

The entrance to this basement is very secret, just under the stairs of a utility room next to the back kitchen.

It seems that it is a passage used by staff on both sides.

This private villa occupies a large area. Each area is relatively independent and has its own garden view. If it is time-consuming and laborious to go around from the outside, it is better to open the passage from the basement, which is very convenient.

Xia Taozhi opened the passage, and suddenly she heard footsteps coming from outside.

Han Yue also heard it.

"Sister-in-law." She was so panicked.

Xia Taozhi gave her a silence gesture, and then quickly opened the door bolt on the ground: "You go down first, there should be stairs at the bottom, and mom is second, don't make a sound, and move quickly."

Han Yue pursed her lips and nodded vigorously.

She slipped through the entrance.

Because she was so flustered, she missed her footing and almost rolled down.

She gritted her teeth and held onto the handrail beside her with both hands, finally gaining stability.

Han Yue stood firm and turned around to pick up Xu Zhenhui.

At this time, the sound of footsteps was close at hand.

Xu Zhenhui had already tried very hard to walk down, but her whole body felt weak and her legs could not work hard at all.The moment she was completely down, the footsteps were already around the corner!

Han Yue raised her eyes in horror.

Xia Taozhi dropped the backpack containing water and closed the door bolt.

"Sister-in-law..."

She realized she couldn't make a sound, and the next second she covered her mouth tightly.

There was a rustling sound outside, and the footsteps had reached above their heads.

There was darkness all around. Han Yue and Xu Zhenhui both held each other's hands, their heartbeats soaring to the fastest speed at this moment.

"What about them?"

"It's not here either. He must have escaped."

"It's impossible. The doors and windows have been locked from the outside. The effects of the medicine shouldn't have worn off yet. They don't have the strength to leave and continue looking."

After another search, the sounds outside gradually faded away, and silence returned again.

Han Yue waited patiently for a while and shouted in a very small voice: "Sister-in-law... Taotao, Xia Taozhi!!"

She was about to cry.

My sister-in-law actually stayed alone for the sake of their mother and daughter.

Even if those people didn't find her, where is she now?

What should you and your mother do next?

At this moment, Han Yue realized that she was as dependent on Xia Taozhi as Han Xiao.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and the door bolt opened again, revealing a gray face.

It's Xia Taozhi!

Xu Zhenhui also breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia Taozhi jumped down on her hands and feet.

She was dirty and smelled.

But at this critical moment, neither mother nor daughter cared.Xu Zhenhui coughed twice: "Are you hiding in the pile of garbage next to you?"

"Yes." Xia Taozhi nodded, "They came too fast."

With a click, she turned on a flashlight and smiled: "An unexpected bonus, I found this on the shelf when it first came out. It still works."

The sudden appearance of the light made Han Yue feel more at ease.

The boundless darkness is really unbearable.

Handing the flashlight to Han Yue, she put her backpack back on and locked the door bolt with her backhand.

"Let's go." She waved.

The flashlight can save a lot of power on the mobile phone, and she can continue to look at the map and move forward.

This underground passage should be used frequently. There is not much dust in the air and it is clean underfoot.After walking for almost 5 minutes, they reached the end.

There is an identical square exit right above your head.

Xia Taozhi stepped up the steps and tried to push.

"It can be opened." She said happily.

Han Yue and Xu Zhenhui looked at each other, almost crying with excitement.

Xia Taozhi opened the exit and looked outside.

As she expected, this was indeed a passage connecting to another hall. Apparently no one was using it yet, so it was quiet.

The three of them filed out of the underground passage.

Breathing the fresh air again, Xu Zhenhui's eyes were red.

She glanced deeply at Xia Taozhi, but said nothing.

This time, they found the exit easily, and the door here was indeed unlocked.

Just as he walked out, Han Yue suddenly pointed in the distance in horror: "What is that?! Look!"
