Huo Xiangu went back to rest.

Watching her retreating figure, Chen Yan clicked his tongue twice: "Don't say she died in the Zhang Family Ancient Building, she brought it on herself."

"After all, this is the plan of the first generation of the Nine Gates, which is to promote Wu Xie's growth."

"So whether it's the old man or Huo Xiangu, if they die, Wu Xie will have to owe them this favor."

The ninth brother, standing to the side, placed a teacup in front of Chen Yan and said without changing his expression, "Who told him to be the chosen backup plan? This is a burden that the Wu family imposed on Wu Xie. But Wu Xie has no choice but to either abandon the Wu family."

Old Ninth picked up his teacup, blew on it gently, and said softly, "Either you carry the family's mission and shoulder all the family's responsibilities until death."

Hearing Lao Jiu say this, Chen Yan and Meng Hu both looked at him.

After taking a sip of tea, Lao Jiu looked up at the two of them and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile."

The tiger scratched its head and said, "Actually, I feel much better lately."

Chen Yan looked at him and said, "It seems our methods have worked. Not bad."

"Things from the Zhang family are still quite useful."

Old Nine looked at the tiger and said, "That's good."

The tiger smiled, a gentle smile unlike the dazed look in its eyes it had given before.

"Alright, get some rest. We have to go down again tomorrow morning."

Chen Yan got up, stretched, walked to the cot in the corner, lay down on his side, and sighed, "It's been so long since I've slept on a bed like this."

As Lao Jiu got up and walked out with Meng Hu, he said, "If you miss it, I can replace your bed at home with this one."

Chen Yan rolled his eyes and ignored Lao Jiu. Lao Jiu and Meng Hu also left Chen Yan's tent to go back to rest.

Standing in the corner, Zhang Haixing looked at the situation in the camp and sighed, saying, "It seems we can't sneak in tonight."

Zhang Haike looked at his men not far away. They were in groups of three, carrying guns, and were not only very disciplined, but they also had secret signals.

This code word was changed every hour, together with the night watchmen.

In other words, even if someone replaces the guy, he can only hide for a maximum of one hour.

It's absolutely impossible to hide until tomorrow and go down with the group.

Zhang Haike said, "Alright, go back and rest. Tomorrow I'll ask Chen Yan to take us with him."

Zhang Haixing shrugged: "Looks like this is the only way."

They turned around and went back to rest properly.

Zhang Haike had no intention of replacing Chen Yan's employees, after all, the Chen family's reputation was well-known, and he had personally experienced Chen Yan's personality.

Therefore, Zhang Haike's only thought was to avoid provoking others if possible.

Chen Yan is a very cunning person. He might be waiting for them to replace his men so he can take advantage of the situation and cause trouble.

It has to be said that Zhang Haike was right.

When Chen Yan woke up the next day and heard Meng Hu say that the guys were all fine, he was a little disappointed.

After washing up, Chen Yan saw Lao Jiu standing next to the machine. Hearing the noise, Lao Jiu turned around and looked at Chen Yan, saying, "You're awake."

"Um."

Looking around the camp, Chen Yan asked, "Where are they?"

Old Nine pointed to the back mountain: "Everyone went to the back mountain. The entrance has been dug open. Everyone went to see if it was really the entrance."

Chen Yan nodded and said, "The tiger will stay up there, I..."

"I'll go."

Old Nine calmly said, "You'll be the last one to come down."

After saying that, he looked at Chen Yan, who instantly understood Lao Jiu's idea and nodded, saying, "Alright, you go first, I'll come down as soon as I get the final password."

Old Nine nodded and walked towards the back mountain. Fierce Tiger looked at Chen Yan and said, "Brother Yan, don't worry, our men have brought enough strong alkali, nothing will happen."

"Um."

Chen Yan watched Lao Jiu's retreating figure without giving it much thought. He trusted Lao Jiu; Lao Jiu wasn't like Fatty who would come up with bad ideas.

Sitting down next to the machine, Chen Yan took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and asked, "Have they replied yet?"

The waiter shook his head and said, "Not yet."

Chen Yan nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He smoked a cigarette, and even the tiger, who was looking in the direction of the lake, quieted down.

The back mountain.

As soon as Lao Jiu arrived, he saw a group of people standing to the side, with Zhang Qiling squatting at the entrance of the cave, looking inside.

But after giving Zhang Haixing a subtle glance, Lao Jiu said, "Let's go, let's go downstairs."

Huo Xiangu also came, but she didn't plan to go down; she was there to make arrangements for the Huo family's servants.

Seeing that Lao Jiu had arrived, he immediately said he was going downstairs. Chen Yan hadn't come, so Huo Xiangu said, "Are you taking your men downstairs?"

Old Nine took the things handed to him by the waiter, turned around with his back to him, and said, "I hope Master Huo makes it clear to the Huo family's servants that they should follow orders once they go in. If anyone goes in and causes trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Huo Xiangu's expression remained unchanged as she said, "Did you all hear that?"

"I heard you."

"Understood, Master."

Lao Jiu glanced at Zhang Qiling: "I'll go first."

After saying that, he pulled Zhang Qiling aside and jumped in. Zhang Qiling followed without hesitation. Wang Yueban, Zhang Haike, Zhang Haixing, the Chen family's servants, and the Huo family's servants entered the cave one by one.

Old Jiu held the nozzle in his hand, glanced at the surrounding walls, and saw that the Chen family's men had already sprayed it once.

So the passageway we just entered was safe. As Wang Yueban walked, he asked, "Ninth Brother, what's that you're carrying? I asked the Chen family's servants earlier, but none of them answered me."

While keeping an eye on his surroundings, Lao Jiu coldly said, "Strong alkali."

"What's this thing used for?"

"It will save your life."

Old Nine's words left Wang Yueban speechless. Whether it was Chen Yan, Old Nine, or that fierce tiger, these three people seemed to be his nemesis.

I always choke on my words and can't find a way to continue the conversation.

After they entered the cave, they walked through the passageway. Lao Jiu scanned the surroundings with his flashlight, while the others looked around.

But soon, they reached the end of the road.

Old Nine frowned and turned to look at the Chen family's servant: "What's going on?"

One of the Chen family's employees said, "Ninth Master, when we came down, this was such a short distance. Tiger Master told us to just spray strong alkali."

Old Nine was speechless; Tiger really knew how to save trouble.

Turning around and looking at the surrounding walls, Lao Jiu wondered, where is the passage to Miluotuo?

Just then, Wang Yueban suddenly noticed a green stone stuck in a crack in the wall next to him.

"Here."

As Wang Yueban spoke, he pried off the stone and placed it on the flashlight. When the light shone on it, it was completely translucent green.

"This is it, absolutely no problem."
