Cotton candy nods.

Ah Zhao puts on her clothes.

Lv Zhu and the other maids are waiting on her outside the room.

Surely, she can’t let them follow her. Otherwise, she can’t explain to them when she manages to find Huo Jun.

Pondering, she looks at the window.

A few minutes later, she crouches down outside the it, gulping for air.

“I never thought I would have to climb out of a window one day.” She sighs.

Cotton candy adds timely: “And with a body in such a bad condition.”

Ah Zhao nods in agreement. She never thought that a window over a meter up from the ground would cause her so much trouble, after her health has improved. The old Qi Zhao might pass out after climbing out of the same window.

She finds herself better after a small rest. Standing up, she leaves the yard.

The General’s Manor is quiet at night, not a living soul out in such an enormous space.

However, she doesn’t drop her guard. She knows there are people hiding in the dark. Given Huo Jun’s position, he must have people protecting him anytime anywhere.

Following cotton candy’s direction, Ah Zhao avoids the secret guards successfully.

After about an hour, she arrives at a desolate yard.

“Here?” she looks ahead with a frown.

Half of the gate is broken. The stone stairs leading to the yard are covered with moss. Clearly, it was deserted a long time ago.

What is Huo Jun doing here?

Looking at the dark gate, she swallows hard. Suppressing her fear, she walks in slowly.

Cotton candy says: “The male lead is here by himself.”

Inside, it is a mess as it is outside.

Ah Zhao walks around a pile of junk and continues.

Guided by cotton candy, she arrives before a room.

It is locked from inside. She can’t open it.

Pushing, she finds the door very firm.

Sighing, she tries again.

“Crack!”

If one looks from inside, one will find that the specially-strengthened iron bar is snapped into halves by force.

The room is absolutely empty, except for a bed and a desk.

Ah Zhao has a worse feeling by now.

Cotton candy suddenly shouts: “I just sensed that the male lead is below us. Something is wrong with him!”

Below?

What below?

Cotton candy flashes hurriedly and quickens its speech: “The desk, drawer, open it. Inside, a button, press three times.”

Ah Zhao does as she is told.

The floor in front of the desk suddenly parts and a flight of stairs emerges.

Usually, Ah Zhao will scream in surprise.

However, right now she just wants to see Huo Jun as soon as possible.

She walks downstairs as the floor overhead closes up.

Faintly, she hears something hit the ground with heavy panting.

Ah Zhao’s heart throbbed because she is familiar with that sound.

It Huo Jun!

Further down she goes.

Soon she comes to the end of the stairs.

There is nothing, except for a big cage.

Its thick and firm iron bars have its captive inside.

There’s only one man down here.

He shuts himself inside the cage.

Ah Zhao’s eyes widen as she looks at the man hitting against the iron bars, panting heavily.

His military uniform a mess, his hair damp with sweat, his expression twisting, his eyes abnormally bloodshot.

Everyone can tell he is in a bad shape.
