Gu Li:

The two quickly left the Other Garden where Gu Li lived.

Outside, there were several bodyguards patrolling back and forth. Luckily, they were familiar with the area and that’s how they managed to escape.

“Where is the secret tunnel?”

Gu Li asked in a low voice.

Gu Susu pointed to a small house ahead, “The basement of the wine cellar.”

“You’re not lying to me, are you?”

Gu Li was suspicious, she always felt that this Gu Susu wasn’t too reliable.

What if she was playing a trick on her?

She must reach Hua Country by tomorrow, she didn’t have much time to waste.

Knowing that Gu Li still didn’t trust her, Gu Susu simply remained silent, and continued walking ahead.

Gu Li had no choice but to follow.

When they arrived at the basement, Gu Susu walked to a wall, patted here and there, just like a witch performing a spell. Gu Li watched her magical operation without blinking.

She didn’t expect that her cousin had such artistic talent.

When her talent agency opens tomorrow, she could consider having her as an actress, provided that she was willing to give up pursuing Murong Si.

She didn’t know what magic Murong Si had given to Gu Susu, that made her so resolute, even willing to help him fend off any other romantic interests at all costs…

“Boom ”

Gu Li, lost in her thoughts, was suddenly roused by a loud noise.

She looked towards the source and saw that the wall had automatically rotated, revealing a passage about half a meter wide.

Gu Li: “Wow, there really is a secret tunnel.”

Perhaps due to her astonishment, she blurted out without thinking.

Gu Susu shot her an annoyed glance and gloatingly huffed, “See, I wasn’t lying.”

“You’re remarkable!”

Gu Li gave her a thumbs up and immediately urged her, “Quick, lead the way before we’re discovered.”

“I got it.”

As Gu Susu spoke, she switched on her phone’s flashlight and pulled Gu Li into the tunnel.

The path inside was narrow, they could only proceed one after the other.

After they had walked a few meters in, the wall began to close gradually, returning back to its original state.

“Gu Susu, how did you know about this secret tunnel?”

Knowing that they were relatively safe in the tunnel, Gu Li let out a sigh of relief and her tone became much more relaxed.

Gu Susu snorted, “Didn’t I tell you? My mom discovered it. Apparently, it was dug a few hundred years ago. Didn’t our family and the Murong family both belong to the Royal Garden back then? It wouldn’t be unusual that all these secret tunnels were built.”

“You’re right.”

Gu Li nodded, “Who else besides you, me and your mom knows about this?”

“Probably no one else. Even my uncle doesn’t know.”

“Keeping a secret tunnel like this isn’t safe. We should tell father to have it sealed.”

“Seal the tunnel? How could that happen?”

Gu Susu made a face, “I’m counting on this tunnel to get closer to my goal.”

Gu Li:

Fearing that Gu Li might seriously consider sealing the tunnel, Gu Susu turned back and grabbed her arm, “I warn you, don’t tell my uncle, nor allow anyone to seal this tunnel. Did you hear me?”

“I heard you, I heard you.”

Gu Li sighed softly.

What tiresome work!

The tunnel was very long. It took the pair half an hour of breathless walking to finally reach the end.

Back at the Gu family residence, surrounded by fresh air, Gu Li took a deep breath and laughed, “We survived.”

Gu Susu glared sideways at her: “Hehe, you should thank me.”

Gu Li: “Thankyou.”

“No sincerity.”

Gu Susu retorted.

“Thankyou, Sister Gu Susu.”

Caught off guard, Gu Li gave her a bear hug, which made Gu Susu break out in goosebumps.

Before she could react, Gu Li let her go, waved her hand and said: “I’m off then, go back and take a bath. You stink.”

“Hey, where do I stink ”

Gu Susu stomped her foot in annoyance, but in the next second, Gu Li had run into the Pear Garden and disappeared.

“Hmph!”

Gu Susu huffed, “That brat, she better stay in Hua Country forever and never come back.”

After returning to the Pear Garden and collecting the passport and cash she had left behind earlier, Gu Li, unable to bear the dust and mud on her, quickly took a shower. Then she grabbed her bag and drove away from the Gu family’s residence.

Meanwhile, at Murong Manor.

For some reason, Murong Si felt restless, as if something bad was about to happen.

Unable to concentrate on work in his study, he decided to go to the Other Garden where Gu Li lived, intending to see her and have a chat.

“Knock knock knock ”

Standing at the door of Gu Li’s room, Murong Si knocked.

“Little Pear?”

After calling out several times, there was still no response.

Strange, it was only a bit past eight, she couldn’t be asleep already.
