w.a.n.g Sui sighed with relief, “Is that so?”

Gu Dai nodded, then asked with puzzlement, “I saw a bulge on the portrait. Is it damaged?”

w.a.n.g Sui’s expression stiffened, a flicker of darkness pa.s.sing through her eyes. She pushed Gu Dai, attempting to distance her, while saying, “A bulge? What bulge? My painting is perfectly fine; it couldn’t possibly be damaged. You must have seen it wrong.”

Su Ting confirmed, “There indeed is a bulge.”

Aad, having just walked over and heard this, inquired, “What bulge?”

w.a.n.g Sui’s face darkened and she hurriedly said, “There’s no bulge, no bulge on the portrait! There’s the birthday banquet in the hall later; let’s not waste time here.”

Aad, having just been at a disadvantage with w.a.n.g Sui, was not inclined to leave so easily. Her gaze quickly swept over the portrait, and she swiftly pressed in the middle of it.

The portrait gently shook, and the walls slowly moved aside, revealing an empty s.p.a.ce before everyone’s eyes.

w.a.n.g Sui attempted to intervene, but her arms were held by Gu Dai, leaving her to watch helplessly as the secret room was revealed, muttering helplessly, “No.”

Upon seeing the secret room, Gu Dai’s eyes darkened instantly, intuition telling her this was where her parents were being held.

After seeing the secret room, Aad’s lips curled into a smile, “I didn’t expect Auntie w.a.n.g’s house to have such a secret place. Is it used for something illegal?”

After the initial panic, w.a.n.g Sui’s mind gradually calmed down. She brushed her hair behind her ear with a smile and responded, “This secret room was here when I bought the house.”

Aad challenged, “Then why didn’t you fill it in?”

Before w.a.n.g Sui could defend herself, Aad continued, “You were panicked just now and kept stopping us from opening it, so this secret room can’t be as simple as you say!”

Gu Dai couldn’t help but want to applaud Aad, surprised at how effectively she had voiced the doubts Gu Dai had wanted to address.

Seeing Gu Dai’s admiring expression, Aad felt a surge of satisfaction and smiled back at her.

Su Ting, observing the interaction between the two, felt increasingly gloomy and couldn’t help but step forward, positioning himself in front of Gu Dai to block Aad’s view.

Aad, surprised by Su Ting’s protective stance towards his sister, reluctantly shifted her gaze and then pressed w.a.n.g Sui, “Why are you silent now? Speak up, what’s going on?”

Upon seeing Lin Chen approaching, w.a.n.g Sui quickly moved forward and threw herself into his arms, murmuring, “After seeing the secret room, I originally wanted to have it filled in, but then I thought it was too much trouble. Besides, I figured it could be used to store some items, so I let it be. As for why I was nervous, it’s because… it’s dark inside, and I was afraid it might scare you.”

Aad scoffed, “I don’t believe a word you’re saying. You must have done something unspeakable in there!”

Buried in Lin Chen’s embrace, w.a.n.g Sui responded with a plea, “I didn’t…”

Lin Chen’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Aad and rebuked, “your Auntie w.a.n.g has said there’s nothing, why do you keep questioning?”

After hearing Lin Chen’s words, Aad trembled with anger, “Dad, why do you always take this woman’s side?”

Lin Chen snorted, “Because what Auntie w.a.n.g says is the truth, and you are always wronging her!”

Aad, stunned, couldn’t believe what she was hearing, “Dad, you’re really saying this to me? I’m your own daughter!”

Her gaze towards w.a.n.g Sui turned colder, her fists clenched, as if she was ready to confront her physically.

Gu Dai, noticing Aad’s intention, quickly grabbed her, whispering, “Calm down.”

Gu Dai looked directly at w.a.n.g Sui, smiling, “After seeing that secret room, I find it quite intriguing. May I explore it?”

w.a.n.g Sui frowned, “There’s nothing inside, just darkness. There’s nothing to explore.”

Although Aad didn’t understand why they wanted to enter the secret room, if Gu Dai wished to, she was ready to support her.

Aad declared, “It’s okay, we’re not afraid of the dark.”

To avoid suspicion, w.a.n.g Sui had no choice but to agree, “Alright.”

After a brief pause, she emphasized, “There really is nothing inside.”

Lin Chen, holding w.a.n.g Sui, softly said, “If they won’t listen, then don’t be too kind, Suisui. They’ll know to regret it once they get scared..”
