The atmosphere in the room became a little dull. Shu Zhihan looked at the silent people in front of her and felt that there were still many questions swirling in her mind.
She couldn't help but frown, thinking about how to break the deadlock.
Suddenly, she took a deep breath and decided to speak to break the silence.
She looked at her mother with firm eyes: "I can't leave. If I leave this time, I don't know when I will be able to come back. There are still many questions that I have not yet figured out."
When the masked woman heard this, her eyes flickered slightly.
She was silent for a moment, seeming to collect her thoughts.
"What do you want to know? It's really not safe here. It's better to leave quickly. Otherwise, when they all arrive, they won't be able to leave even if they want to." The masked woman said impatiently.
Shu Zhihan stared at her closely, a strong impulse welling up in her heart.
She knew that she had to learn the truth as soon as possible, otherwise everything would become even more confusing.
She took a deep breath and decided to risk it all: "I want to know what is going on? Why do you appear here? What's going on with Lu He and Xia Yang?"
When the masked woman heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. She didn't seem to expect Shu Zhihan to ask such a direct question.
Shu Zhihan's heart skipped a beat when she saw the sudden change in her expression.
She couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Did she ask some questions that she shouldn't have asked? XiuShu.com
The masked woman was silent for a moment, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes.
She seemed to be hesitating about something, her lips moved slightly, but in the end she didn't speak.
Shu Zhihan looked at her tense face, feeling increasingly uneasy.
She couldn't help but clenched her fists, and her nails dug deeply into her palms, causing a slight pain.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the air in the room seemed to freeze, making people breathless.
Perhaps feeling the tension in the atmosphere, Luo Jinyu stepped forward and grabbed Shu Zhihan's hand, shook her head gently, and signaled her to stop talking.
Shu Zhihan looked at Luo Jinyu, feeling the warmth from his palms, and her heart felt slightly warm.
She knew that Luo Jinyu was protecting her and didn't want her to continue questioning.
The masked woman looked at their clasped hands, something strange flashed in her eyes.
She took a deep breath and seemed to be calming down: "You should leave first, it's really not safe here."
After saying that, she turned around and walked out of the house without saying anything else to them.
Watching her leave, Shu Zhihan turned to look at Luo Jinyu, her eyes slightly confused.
Luo Jinyu gently stroked her long hair, trying to calm her uneasy mood.
He said softly: "Don't worry, let's talk after we leave here."
Shu Zhihan nodded silently, but her heart still couldn't calm down.
She knows that the mystery is just beginning, and that she must persevere until the truth is revealed.
Yang Yunfei looked at the two of them and sighed helplessly, breaking the sweet atmosphere.
"You two, don't be sweet here. Let's leave here first. How about that?" He interrupted their conversation and said.
Shu Zhihan and Luo Jinyu looked at each other, then nodded and prepared to get up and leave.
Yang Yunfei looked at them with a smirk on his lips.
Hearing what he said, Shu Zhihan couldn't help but feel a little shy, and then Luo Jinyu said, "Let's go."
Luo Jinyu stood up and reached out to hold Shu Zhihan's hand.
Shu Zhihan looked at his broad palm, felt the warmth coming from his palm, and felt a warm current in her heart.
They walked out of the room together, followed closely by Yang Yunfei.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner turmoil.
Luo Jinyu held her hand tightly and said nothing, just staying by her side silently.
In the corner, the masked woman quietly looked at their leaving figures, with tears in her eyes and mouthing
She muttered silently: "I'm sorry, child." Her voice was low and hoarse, carrying endless pain and helplessness.
Her fingers gripped the mask tightly, her knuckles turning white from the exertion.
This was her choice, and she had to make this decision in order to protect them.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner turmoil.
Her eyes became determined, and she turned and walked in the other direction, ready to face the next challenge.
Just as Shu Zhihan and the others left, a group of soldiers rushed in. They were dressed in uniform armor and holding spears, and they rushed in menacingly.
The masked woman looked at the scene in front of her, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes.
"Search for me!", the leading soldier shouted loudly, with unquestionable majesty in his voice.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the room became solemn.
The masked woman looked at them firmly, ready in her heart.
Soldiers armed with spears looked around for suspicious signs.
Their footsteps echoed in the empty room, accompanied by the clanging sound of armor clashing, like an icy piece of music.
There was a tense atmosphere in the air, as if even breathing became cautious.
When the masked woman saw the soldiers chasing Shu Zhihan and the others in the direction they left, a trace of anxiety flashed in her eyes.
She knew that if those soldiers found them, everything would be in vain.
She took a deep breath, hurriedly walked out of the room, and ran down a narrow corridor in the other direction.
The corridor was dark and gloomy, and her footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, which seemed particularly clear.
She kept her breathing down as low as possible, trying not to make any noise.
The sound of her heartbeat was particularly clear in the silent corridor, as if it was beating a rhythm for her nervous nerves.
The masked woman turned a corner along the corridor and came to a staircase.
The masked woman took the opportunity to run up the stairs. She knew that she had been exposed and must get rid of these soldiers as soon as possible.
She turned one corner after another until she came to the end of the stairs.
She was about to continue running forward, but found that the corridor ahead was blocked by soldiers. .Ь.
When the soldiers saw the masked woman, they all saluted. Then one of the soldiers stepped forward and said, "The Holy One suspected that a thief had broken in, and was afraid of disturbing your peace, so he sent us to search."
She took a deep breath, tried her best to stay calm, and then said, "I don't have anyone here, so please come back."
Although the soldiers were a little reluctant, they couldn't say much. After all, the person in front of them was someone they couldn't afford to offend.
They looked at each other, and then one of the soldiers said, "In that case, let's take our leave first."
With that said, they all saluted, then turned and left.
The masked woman watched them leave and let out a long sigh of relief.
However, she knew that this was only a temporary calm, and a bigger storm was brewing.
Just when he was about to leave, Luo Jinyu heard someone coming towards here. He was quite anxious from the sound, so he decided to hide aside and take care of it secretly.
At this moment, they heard that the sound was gone and walked out.
They came back to the room.
"Why are you still here?" The masked woman spoke slowly, with a hint of doubt and nervousness in her voice.
Shu Zhihan and Luo Jinyu didn't answer, just stared at her silently.
The atmosphere in the room became a little awkward, and the masked woman took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner turmoil.
Shu Zhihan took a step forward and held the masked woman's hand. Her voice was gentle but firm: "Mother, I can't leave you here alone. If you want to leave, let's go together."
The masked woman was stunned, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
She looked at the young girl in front of her, her eyes full of care and perseverance.
Determined, she knew that she could no longer put them in danger.
Luo Jinyu also stepped forward. He looked at the masked woman and said, "Madam, please believe us, we will definitely protect you and Zhihan."
The masked woman didn't speak, just stared at them silently. XiuShu.com
Her heart was full of struggles and contradictions. She didn't know whether she should leave with them or stay here and continue to guard this secret.
This time, Shu Zhihan no longer flinched. She looked at Luo Jinyu and said directly: "Husband, you guys take a rest here first, and we will go to the other side to chat."
Luo Jinyu looked at her firm eyes and nodded slightly to agree.
The masked woman looked at them with a hint of helplessness in her eyes, but she had no choice but to acquiesce.
Shu Zhihan and her mother walked to another room.
Shu Zhihan looked out the window and said slowly: "Mother, I know you have something to say. Can you tell me what is going on?"
The masked woman was silent for a moment, with complex emotions in her eyes. She knew that this secret was too heavy for Shu Zhihan.
"Zhihan, some things are not as simple as you think.
Maybe it's best that you don't know. "
Shu Zhihan looked at her and said firmly: "Mom, I know this matter is sudden for me, but I hope you can believe me.
Whatever it is, I want to know the truth.
You are my dearest person, and I don’t want you to bear all the pain and secrets alone. "
The masked woman looked at her, a touch of emotion flashed in her eyes.
She knew that although her daughter was young, she had grown into a responsible and courageous person.
"Okay, since you want to know, then I'll tell you." The masked woman took a deep breath and began to speak slowly.
The masked woman and Shu Zhihan were sitting by the window of the room. The window was half open, and the night wind blew gently, causing the window screen to flutter gently.
The masked woman's hand was tightly clasped in Shu Zhihan's, and her eyes were full of emotion and memories.
Shu Zhihan could tell from her mother's face that she had experienced something terrible. At least in her opinion, staying in this dark place for so long was a form of torture.
She secretly vowed in her heart that she would take her mother away from here.
Her hand held the masked woman's hand tightly.
