Huo Siyu's phone camera turned very slowly, allowing Nan Qiao to observe the surroundings.

After viewing all the rooms, Nan Qiao, with her good memory, expressed her opinion.

"The third room has a blue and white porcelain ornament. Let's go back to that room and take a look."

Huo Siyu immediately headed towards the third room.

Hearing this, Jiamin followed along.

"Take the detoxification pills first, and others should step back a bit."

"Alright." Huo Siyu took the detoxification pills and gave one to Jiamin as well.

The blue and white porcelain vase ornament looked nothing out of the ordinary, looking every bit like a flower vase.

Huo Siyu put down the phone and tried to turn the blue and white porcelain vase, but it did not move.

"Try moving the vase away."

Huo Siyu moved the vase, and the tabletop was very smooth.

"Tap on the tabletop." Nan Qiao said once more.

Huo Siyu tapped on it, finding the inconspicuous table was hollow.

Huo Siyu felt around the small table and found a bump.

Pressing it, a wall opened.

"Found it!" Huo Siyu shouted excitedly.

Jiamin didn't expect Nan Qiao to find the entrance to the hidden chamber so quickly either.

The teammates observing from the doorway also didn't expect that Huo Siyu had found such an impressive ally.

Impressive, indeed impressive; with just a glance, she knew where the issue was.

"I'll hang up now; I'm going in to take a look."

Huo Siyu hung up the phone and went with Jiamin into the tunnel to explore.

...

The tunnel went on to the end, and as they exited, the two were immediately surrounded by guns.

Jiamin shouted, "Friendly! We're friendly!"

Director Nie, hearing the familiar voice, asked in surprise, "How did you come out from here?"

Jiamin said, "We found the hidden chamber and followed the passage all the way here, exiting from this opening."

Huo Siyu remarked, "Looks like you haven't found that Sister Ling either."

Director Nie cursed, "Damn it, she really slipped away. We've searched the surroundings several times, and not a shadow seen."

Hou Ze added, "She must have heard the commotion at the door and fled immediately; that's why she got away so fast."

The group felt angered that they let such a big fish escape.

Jiamin lamented, "Now that's it, I can't rise in rank."

Huo Siyu could not help but chuckle; she still remembered Qiaoqiao's words.

Huo Siyu comforted, "Don't worry, you can still rise in rank. Just because we can't find this escapee now doesn't mean we never will. She fled to the side, and we'll pursue her with all our might. We'll also need to check the surveillance along the way."

With that, everyone resumed the search.

...

Li Tianyi arrived at the garden, seated himself on a chair, and looked up at the night sky.

Reaching for a teacup, he touched something chilly, startling him to leap up from the chair.

A figure stood beside him, causing cold sweat to form on Li Tianyi's forehead in fear.

"Why are you here!" Li Tianyi asked in panic, scanning the surroundings to avoid being seen by others.

"What? Afraid Sha Zi will go mad seeing me here? Or scared of losing her?" Sister Ling emerged from the darkness, her slightly weathered face leaving Li Tianyi dumbstruck.

"What happened to you?" Every time he saw her, she was always so high and mighty, unlike now, like a lost soul.

Sister Ling recounted the recent events, making Li Tianyi restless.

"How could this be? How did they discover your address? There must be an insider!" Li Tianyi insisted, convinced it could only be that.

Seeing Li Tianyi's confidence, Sister Ling couldn't be bothered to respond.

"If you're so confident, why don't I let you investigate this for me. I trust you to handle it."

Sister Ling sat down, sipping the tea Li Tianyi brewed.

Li Tianyi had never seen her this way before, filled with emotion.

Who on earth calculated against her so precisely, leaving no room for escape, he wondered.

"Who exactly set you up like this?" Li Tianyi sat down, asking directly.

"Probably that fat woman!" Sister Ling responded through gritted teeth, recounting the entire sequence of events.

Each mention of "fat woman" carried venom, as if venting some unspoken fury.

Li Tianyi was dumbfounded by the entire story.

"Isn't it said that this Ghost Doctor has great medical ethics, and everyone in the circle sings her praises?"

"Are you saying I suspected the wrong person?" Sister Ling asked, displeased.

"That's not what I mean, I just find it hard to believe that Ghost Doctor would tarnish her own reputation."

Sister Ling paused, pondering the truth of Li Tianyi's statements.

Sister Ling remained silent, and Li Tianyi refrained from speaking, wondering when Sister Ling would leave, as she couldn't be seen by others here.

If anything happened, his identity would be exposed, inviting trouble onto himself!

"What? Afraid Sha Zi would find me here? Trying to kick me out now? Do you think I can go anywhere else like this? They're surely searching for me everywhere. The most dangerous place is the safest; let me hide in your house for a couple of days. Once everything settles down, I'll leave."

Li Tianyi: "..."

Just what he feared would happen!

"Do you disagree?" Sister Ling asked with a low, dissatisfied tone.

"It's mainly because we have guests at home now, and I'm afraid they'll discover you."

"I'll hide in your basement; your guests won't go to the basement, right?" Sister Ling looked directly at Li Tianyi.

Unable to find a reason to refuse, Li Tianyi could only agree.

Li Tianyi led Sister Ling towards the basement, only to bump into Mei Tian Sha Zi.

The three stood, looking at each other, Li Tianyi helpless and powerless at the unfortunate encounter.

Mei Tian Sha Zi clenched her fists, gradually relaxing them.

Her tightly furrowed brow smoothed out, her face breaking into a smile, "Sister Ling, long time no see."

"Sha zi, long time indeed. Still not asleep so late; did you know I was coming to your house?" Sister Ling approached, patting Mei Tian Sha Zi's shoulder.

Mei Tian Sha Zi's displeased expression flickered for a moment, clearly seen by Li Tianyi.

Li Tianyi stepped forward to briefly explain Sister Ling's presence to Mei Tian Sha Zi.

Mei Tian Sha Zi raised an eyebrow, her lips unconsciously curling into a smile, "Sister Ling, this isn't something I thought you'd experience. Aren't you always in command, controlling everything and everyone? How are you being pursued this time?"

Sister Ling: "..."

Mei Tian Sha Zi's barbed comments infuriated Sister Ling.

Rubbing his aching temples, even confident Li Tianyi was shaken.

Being caught between two women, he felt quite tortured.

"Sha zi, let's let Sister Ling hide in the basement for a while. I'm afraid those people might trace back here, and then we'll also be exposed."

As Li Tianyi spoke the crucial point, both Mei Tian Sha Zi and Sister Ling stopped arguing, one making way, the other moving inside, all behaving.
