Suddenly, Du Ran felt a pair of hands around his waist, and the owner of those hands was looking at him with a smirk. Du Ran, who was originally in control and pressing forward step by step, now became the trapped person.

Mu Zhou tightened his grip, bringing the two closer together, but he still smiled cynically: "Du Ran, perhaps, you are my cunning master!"

Du Ran finally understood that Mu Zhou was using her words to fool her!

She struggled to break free, but she was not as strong as Mu Zhou and was soon pinned to his chest. She could clearly hear his rapid heartbeat. Du Ran tried to resolve the situation by getting angry: "Mu Zhou, let me go! Are you crazy?"

"Perhaps, after I said this, you can better understand why I have been staying in the palace, and not for some imaginary treasure." Mu Zhou was still affectionate to her, but after hearing this, Du Ran regained her senses. She bit Mu Zhou's arm and refused to let go of her subconsciously due to the pain. Du Ran, who had regained her freedom, slapped Mu Zhou in the face and scolded him: "You scoundrel! You actually made fun of me and tried to use such a poor excuse to cover up the fact that you were looking for treasure. I tell you, no way! The more you say this, the more I am sure that you must have found some treasure and you just want to keep it for yourself!"

Mu Zhou covered his face and looked at Du Ran aggrievedly: "You hit me?!"

"I'm going to hit you, don't pretend to be wronged here. You've molested me and nothing happened to me, and you're the first to complain? I really don't know how you got the name "His Royal Highness Jueming". You didn't get it by being a gangster, did you? I despise you! Bah! Shameless!" Du Ran cursed: "Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist. Don't leave here if you don't explain the treasure today!" As she said that, Du Ran fastened the bolt of the door in the house, then took another spare bolt in her hand, pretending to be a gangster big sister and walked towards Mu Zhou arrogantly, as if she was going to kill you if you didn't tell me about me.

Mu Zhou was not afraid: "Du Ran, even if it is true as you said, my title of Lord Jueming was obtained by a lowly person, but my Kung Fu is not fake at all. Do you think you can trap me? Niu Xiaoshan couldn't trap me, let alone a mere house?"

"Oh? Really? Then you try it!" Du Ran was not panicked. Her calmness made Mu Zhou uneasy, because he felt weak all over again. This feeling was like... the feeling when Yu Chengfeng poisoned him.

"Mu Zhou, you must always be on guard against others! You see, you were careless and I poisoned you again. Now, you can't run away even if you want to." Du Ran said with a grin.

Mu Zhou slumped in his chair, completely losing his previous momentum, breathing heavily angrily.

"If you don't tell me, I will really castrate you!" Du Ran looked under Mu Zhou's crotch, and Mu Zhou immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"No! I say!" Mu Zhou compromised. He was really afraid that Du Ran would get really angry and turn himself into a eunuch.

"In fact, we haven't really dug up any valuable treasures. We just got some secrets that no one in the world knows." Mu Zhou was speechless. He also wanted to see mountains of gold, silver and jewels, but there was none!

"What secret?" Du Ran felt that Mu Zhou must be playing some tricks again, so he asked.

"Do you still remember the painting that Yu Chengfeng said was priceless when you were searching for junks in the prince's study?" Mu Zhou reminded him, "The secret is hidden in the painting."

Du Ran was stunned and said in surprise: "If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that there is still a priceless painting in my prince's mansion that I haven't taken out. Is it too late for me to regret running away now? At least let me go back and get the painting back! This... I lost 100 million in vain, it's over!" Du Ran wanted to cry but had no tears. How could she have forgotten about this? Now she would regret it for the rest of her life.

but……

"Mu Zhou, I was just joking with you just now. If you really like me and want to hug me, I will let you hug me again. How about we make peace with each other?" Du Ran didn't care whether it was a secret or not, or a treasure or not. The painting was a big treasure enough. It would be a pity to throw it away in her hands.

Mu Zhou naturally guessed the reason why Du Ran's attitude changed so much, so he asked in a speechless manner: "Do you want me to steal it for you again?"

"Yes, yes, yes! You are so good at martial arts, you can definitely steal it without anyone noticing. Then I can give you half of it!" Du Ran said generously, his eyes shining.

Mu Zhou laughed. If he was able to move, he would have to pry open Du Ran's head to see what was inside. It didn't look like a brain at all.

"Later, I asked someone to take a look at it. The painting is indeed not cheap, worth one or two hundred cars, but it is not priceless. The reason why Yu Chengfeng said that is because there is a secret in the painting. He doesn't want the secret to be sold by you, so he said that. Moreover, Yu Chengfeng is very suspicious. He is definitely not just the leader of the Xuantian Gang." Mu Zhou analyzed.

But Du Ran seemed unconvinced: "Are you telling the truth?"

"Absolutely authentic! I swear!"

"Why do I feel more and more like you are a thief who not only embezzled the treasure but also embezzled my painting?" Du Ran frowned and looked at him: "Then go on, tell me what secret you found in the painting. Don't be too outrageous, or I will beat you up!"

"The current emperor is not the late emperor's son. The late emperor was kept in the dark for more than ten years. He only learned the truth when he was about to die, but it was already too late. He could only pin his anger on his frail and incompetent Prince Meng Yuan, who is his biological son. Must the world be inherited by royal blood?" Mu Zhou said seriously.

"But Meng Yuan is dead. Doesn't this secret have any difference? There is no direct royal bloodline in this world, so the emperor is naturally no longer a threat. It seems that everything is destined by heaven. I'm afraid the late emperor is wearing a green hat even in heaven." Du Ran sighed: "Although this secret is quite explosive, is it enough to become a legendary treasure in the martial arts world?"

"Perhaps, the late emperor wanted to give the world a suspense. Once this news is revealed, the current royal family will be in danger, and anyone can come up with a random reason to attack him."

Du Ran agreed, but was even more confused: "Then what? The late emperor couldn't have just left some words for the prince, right? He had to give some funds, right? Recruiting soldiers and buying horses costs money, the late emperor couldn't have left no money for the prince!"

"Maybe, it's possible, but I haven't found any clues to the treasure yet. It's true. If I lie, God will strike me! I will die a miserable death!" Mu Zhou really swore with 100% sincerity.
