BXBX NOVEL Chapter 798 - Separate
Chapter 798: Separate
Translator: Lonelytree
Someone came and took Lin Nan away. At least she was safe.
That was good. I didn’t want to be blamed by the Lin family. I was the target, but Miss Lin was injured. I owed her.
Jing Tian looked around cautiously to make sure it was safe before nodding at us.
Like a deflated rubber ball, Mai Qi collapsed on a bench by the door and said angrily, “They better not let me know who is behind this, or I’ll skin him alive!”
Jing Ni was also exhausted. She dragged her body and sat down. Jing Ni didn’t talk much, so Mai Qi was usually her mouthpiece.
I looked at the door leading to the main hall and thought I should go to the main hall. There was nothing else for us to do anyway.
“Ah!” Jing Ni and Mai Qi’s screams came from behind me.
When I turned around, they were gone.
I hurried to the bench. The wooden plants were perfectly sewn together, but my two sisters had disappeared out of thin air.
I looked at Jing Tian in fear.
Jing Tian patted the chairs a few times calmly. “There’s a trap,” he said.
I sat down on the chair. “Then we’ll follow them.”
I pulled Jing Tian to sit down together. I wanted to find Jing Ni and Mai Qi through the trap.
......
However, the chair didn’t move. I looked left and right before standing up and asking, “Eh? What’s going on?”
As soon as I stood up, the chair moved. I was quick to grab Jing Tian’s hand. Jing Tian reached out his other hand to hold me. Our bodies fell down rapidly. I thought to myself, ‘It’s over. No one can survive a fall at this speed.’
All of a sudden, a strong force rushed over and separated me from Jing Tian. “Jing Tian!” I shouted anxiously, but I couldn’t see anything clearly in the darkness.
I fell heavily to the ground. I groaned in pain and felt that all the bones in my body had been broken into pieces.
I felt that I should hire a fortune-teller. If someone had told me that this tragedy would have happened at this party, I would have stayed at home to sleep.
I endured the intense pain and struggled to get up. In my heart, I couldn’t help but curse the Lin family. ‘They are supposed to be a family of healers, but why would they have such vicious traps? Do they use this to bury the dead bodies of their servants?’
I supported myself against the wall and walked slowly with my hands on my waist. My eyes had already adapted to the darkness. This was a long and narrow tunnel. It didn’t look like it had been artificially dug. Instead, it looked like it had been built into a natural underground tunnel. The light was too dim, so I couldn’t see it clearly.
I walked forward slowly, carefully paying attention to my surroundings.
The four of us fell down. Jing Tian and I, who were holding hands, were separated. I was afraid that Jing Ni and Mai Qi had the same fate. I had to find them first before I could plot my next move.
This was the Lin family’s manor. I refused to believe that they had nothing to do with this!
My feet slipped, and I fell heavily to the ground. I groaned as I got up and cursed at the Lin Family again.
‘What kind of weird family is this? Why would they design their house like this? Is there a mass grave under the house?’
I reached out and touched my aching knee. My palm was wet. ‘Am I bleeding? But I don’t feel pain.’
I put my hand to my nose and sniffed. There was a very strange smell. It was like a mixture of many kinds of Chinese medicine.
I touched the ground again. It was wet. That was why I fell.
