Yu Yaqing contemplated for a moment before nodding, “Alright, let’s make another trip to the basement.”
After the six women had finished lunch, they tidied up and headed together to the basement.
The mansion’s basement had no lights.
Each of them took a candlestick for illumination. Once they reached the basement, they used the candlelight to light up the torches hanging on the walls.
The basement was cold, damp, and gloomy. On one side, there was a damp and icy stone wall, while the other side had iron-made prison cells.
It was unclear what had been imprisoned in the cells; it could have been humans or animals. Some dry straw was scattered all over inside the prison cells, but aside from that, there was nothing else.
Surprisingly, there was quite a lot of stuff leaning against the bars of the prison cells. Like Yu Yaqing mentioned, there were empty wine bottles, rusty iron cans and rotting wooden boxes. As soon as you opened them, a strong smell of mold and dust pounced on you, making people cough.
They continued walking past a long row of prison cells.
They walked to the very end.
Bai Youwei, who stood before the door of the last prison cell, said, “Someone come and see if you can open this.”
Su Man stepped forward and tugged at the lock on the door, then looked up at them and said, “It’s locked.”
Although the previous cells were also closed, they weren’t locked, just loosely fastened with iron chains, and the doors could be pushed open.
Unexpectedly, the last cell was actually locked.
Surprisingly, Yu Yaqing’s eyes went wide as she glanced unconsciously at Hu Ya and Cheng Xi beside her.
Hu Ya and Cheng Xi also looked shocked, and muttered, “We had examined it all before…”
When Yu Yaqing first brought people down here, indeed, they thoroughly checked each cell. However, by the end, some cells had only been glanced over—after all, even without entering, they could easily look in through the bars.
Considering the dim lighting and eerie ambiance, along with over a hundred cells, all heightened their psychological exhaustion and anxiety
For various reasons, they didn’t manage to notice the peculiarity of the final cell. ƒreewebɳovel.com
Yu Yaqing couldn’t help but ask Bai Youwei, “How did you know there was something wrong with this cell?”
Bai Youwei had been sitting in her wheelchair all this time, not even touching the cells. Why was it that she had detected the cell’s anomaly before they did?
“Because this is the 129th cell,” Bai Youwei casually explained, “Since we came in, I’ve been counting. Any extra cells would definitely have issues, but not necessarily the last one. We found it out now, I guess we’re just lucky.”
Lucky?
Yu Yaqing never believed in luck; she only believed in strength.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and studied Bai Youwei, who was sitting in her wheelchair, “You’ve played a lot of games.”
She asserted confidently.
Bai Youwei glanced at her without denying, “Hmm, I’ve played a lot, and I understand the little tricks in the games better than you do.”

No boasting, no showing off, just stating facts.
Everyone was at a loss for words.
After a moment of silence, Yu Yaqing spoke up, “I hope you’re right.”
She turned around and called, “Hu Ya, come with me to find something to unlock this.”
Hu Ya immediately picked up her candlestick and hurried after Yu Yaqing.
In one of the rooms upstairs, there was an array of weapon collections, from saddles, armor, swords, bows to crossbows. Almost everything was there.
Both of them managed to find some large axes and swords, returning to the basement and unlocking the door.
The six women walked in.
The last cell was just like the other cells.
Aside from the mess of straw on the ground, there was nothing else.
“What the hell… she’s so high-and-mighty as if she looks down on us, but she still got it wrong. We’ve done all this for nothing,” Hu Ya muttered resentfully.
She didn’t like Bai Youwei, a cripple who relied on others to survive, yet didn’t know how to read people. She acted full of herself and ignored everyone.
Cheng Xi suited her better.
At least Cheng Xi knew that times had changed and was honest in her actions and words.
