"Hello, Mr. Fu." Qi Rui greeted politely, then looked at Fu Xiyan and tentatively asked, "You just mentioned my wife... Could you tell me where she is now?"
"Because the evidence that your wife poisoned and murdered someone is conclusive, she has already been detained."
As Fu Xiyan spoke, his gaze fell upon Qi Rui’s face, closely observing his reaction.
"What about the other matter? The robbery case you mentioned earlier? Have you collected all the evidence?" Obviously, Qi Rui wasn’t very concerned about Mo Qingsnow being detained; he was more concerned about the evidence, particularly the evidence related to the robbery case.
Fu Xiyan couldn’t quite understand his reaction and felt somewhat puzzled internally, but his expression remained unchanged as he said to Qi Rui, "The evidence for the robbery case is still being collected."
Hearing this, a quick flicker of disappointment flashed in Qi Rui’s eyes. He forced a smile and then distractedly sipped from the teacup on the table.
Seeing Qi Rui’s reaction, Fu Xiyan formed a suspicion and tentatively spoke, "Mr. Qi, as Mo Qingsnow’s husband, you know her best. Can you provide any relevant evidence?"
As Fu Xiyan finished speaking, Qi Rui’s hand loosened, and the teacup fell onto the coffee table, spilling tea all over the table and splattering Qi Rui’s pants and Fu Xiyan.
"Sorry for the embarrassment," Qi Rui apologized, hurriedly grabbing some napkins and wiping the table.
Fu Xiyan’s expression remained unchanged as he said, "Mr. Qi, no need to be nervous; I was just making casual conversation."
Qi Rui paused for a moment, not responding, just kept his head down and continued wiping the table.
Meanwhile, Gu Zhiqi and the others had already reached the door of the hidden chamber.
Su Yunling scrutinized the formation at the chamber’s entrance and raised an eyebrow, "Did you set up this formation?"
Su Yunling’s eyes slightly moved, and he continued to look at Gu Zhiqi, asking, "You’re not using Vital Energy for this formation?"
Gu Zhiqi nodded again and said, "Mystic Formation, set up using Yuan Force."
Su Yunling nodded, "I see."
Gu Zhiqi waved her hand, dispersing the formation, then placed the book she had stored in her storage bracelet on the table.
Seeing this, Su Yunling pushed Fu Yu with his hand, "Stand a bit further in."
"Huh?" Fu Yu was pushed a step forward and uttered a confused "Huh."
Then, he noticed he was in motion—more specifically, the floor beneath him was rotating.
Looking down, he confirmed that it was indeed the floor spinning.
This rotating area wasn’t large, based on where he had been standing earlier, it should be just outside the rotating platform. "Third Master, did you know there were mechanisms here?"
Su Yunling raised his eyebrow in response, but said nothing.
After rotating 180 degrees, the floor stopped spinning, and the three found themselves inside a secret room.
Gu Zhiqi stepped forward toward the chamber where the treasures were stored, and Su Yunling immediately followed.
"Why does it smell burnt?" Fu Yu muttered first, then followed them.
Gu Zhiqi also noticed the burnt smell, her eyes moved slightly, and she quickly went toward another hidden chamber.
Upon reaching the chamber’s entrance, Gu Zhiqi waved her hand, and the boxes inside the chamber flashed with brilliance, releasing a golden glow. One by one, the boxes opened.
"Everything is here," Gu Zhiqi said, pointing to the boxes.
"Such a treasure trove," Fu Yu was stunned by the sight of so many treasures.
