Chapter 301: There Are Secrets That Cannot Be Told

“Brother Du, Su Yan has been in there for fifteen minutes already. Do we really not need to go check on her?”

Outside the door, Tian Wei’s expression was grim as she reminded Du Jinsong once again.

No matter how much there was to say, such a long time should have been enough to finish.

Du Jinsong was merely hesitating; would going in now disrupt Su Yan’s work?

Tian Wei couldn't help but raise her voice. “If anything happens to Liu Yiyi, we will absolutely have no way to account for it to the Great Captain. Can you take responsibility for that?”

She said *you*, not *us*, which was equivalent to completely distancing herself from the matter.

Du Jinsong hadn't expected her to care so much. He glanced at the time.

At this moment, Zhang Ximing also spoke up: “Jinsong, Su Yan has indeed been in there for quite a while. How about we go in and take a look?”

As the saying goes, one shouldn't fear ten thousand possibilities, but rather the one unexpected accident.

This time, Du Jinsong finally relented. “Alright.”

However, before entering, he did not forget to remind Gu Yang, “Brother Gu, don't be anxious. Just follow behind us.”

Although Gu Yang was worried, he knew what to do.

Just as Du Jinsong was about to open the door, he heard a pained, low growl coming from inside.

Everyone’s nerves tightened instantly, and they pushed the door open.

Su Yan, who should have been standing outside the formation, was instead by the bedside, while Liu Yiyi was writhing on the floor with a ghastly expression.

Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at the scene, unable to react.

“She—how did she get in?”

Tian Wei was the first to speak, her voice trembling with agitation.

The entire room was shrouded in a formation; not just anyone could casually step into it. Even she and Du Jinsong could not.

Compared to Tian Wei’s shock, Du Jinsong and Zhang Ximing only gave a bitter smile, immediately shifting their attention to Liu Yiyi.

After all, Su Yan’s strength had long since reached a level beyond their imagination, so it was not surprising that she could enter the formation.

As for the Ma Chulong siblings and Gan Hua, they also immediately recognized the presence of the formation. Combined with Tian Wei’s reaction, the three of them also realized something.

As for Gu Yang, the sole ordinary person, he failed to notice anything unusual and immediately wanted to rush forward, but he was pulled back by Ma Chulong just as he made a move.

“Brother Gu, you can't go in.”

A single sentence halted Gu Yang's footsteps.

Su Yan naturally knew they had entered. Unhurriedly, she patted Liu Yiyi on the shoulder.

Liu Yiyi instantly fell silent, her entire body collapsing onto the floor like a heap of mud, as if she had just endured a session of torture.

At this moment, her attitude toward Su Yan changed completely. She didn't even dare to look Su Yan in the eye, curling herself into a ball and trembling uncontrollably.

*Devil, this woman is a devil!*

She truly never wanted to experience that kind of pain again.

“Su Yan, how did you get in? Come out, quickly!”

Before Gu Yang could speak, Du Jinsong immediately shouted at her, which was also a form of warning.

Su Yan didn't even need to warn Liu Yiyi; she simply turned around and walked over unhurriedly.

Everyone's eyes followed her figure.

“There is a confinement formation in this room. How did you get in? What did you do to Liu Yiyi?”

Seeing Su Yan walk out unscathed, Tian Wei could no longer control her emotions and questioned her agitatedly.

Su Yan didn't even give her a second glance. “What formation? I can't see anything, so I'm not sure.”

“Stop playing dumb! The formation was personally set by a Master; absolutely no one should be able to enter or leave at will!” Tian Wei cursed directly.

“Lady, watch your words!” Gu Yang immediately shielded Su Yan behind him, his expression dark. “We don't know any Master, but as for saying no one can enter or leave at will—Yan Yan certainly can.”

Therefore, even if there was a problem, it was a problem with the formation itself.

“You...” Tian Wei was furious. She was about to retort when she was stopped by Du Jinsong. “Tian Wei, calm down. I trust Su Yan.”

The word "trust" carried many meanings.

Tian Wei looked at him in disbelief. From the time they met until now, this was the first time she realized he could be such a person who failed to distinguish between public and private matters.

“Can't you see Liu Yiyi's current state?”

Were they all blind?

Du Jinsong had certainly seen it, which was why he had no choice but to question Su Yan as well.

“Su Yan, what happened?”

Fortunately, although Liu Yiyi was in a terrible state, she had not fainted.

Su Yan remained expressionless. “I only asked her why she was targeting Gu Yang, and then she suddenly turned into this state.”

Seeing that Liu Yiyi's motive was actually within everyone's expectations, hearing it directly from her mouth reduced much of the suspicion.

Gu Yang sighed inwardly. In truth, he least wanted Su Yan to take risks for his sake.

“Did she say it?” Du Jinsong took the opportunity to ask.

They had already interrogated Liu Yiyi through the night, but this woman was extremely shrewd, talking in circles without revealing a single piece of useful information.

“She did. It was just about those matters between men and women.” As Su Yan spoke, she deliberately cast a glance toward Gu Yang.

Gu Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry; he truly had never actively provoked this woman.

“What matters?” Ma Chulan suddenly blurted out. She truly hadn't reacted in time.

The tense atmosphere relaxed significantly because of her question.

Ma Chulong coughed awkwardly. “Little sister, don't ask. Big brother will tell you later.”

It was all because his little sister had been too well-protected; she had absolutely no experience regarding matters of men and women.

Although Ma Chulan felt their expressions were strange, she also realized she had likely asked a foolish question.

“Besides those?” Tian Wei no longer hid her suspicion toward Su Yan, even disregarding Du Jinsong's warning looks.

Su Yan remained neither angry nor annoyed, stating calmly, “I'm not interested in anything else. Isn't Liu Yiyi right in there? If you don't believe me, feel free to ask her directly.”

Tian Wei actually turned to look at Liu Yiyi.

Liu Yiyi naturally heard their conversation, but she offered no rebuttal.

She truly didn't dare to rebut, because the current Su Yan was simply too terrifying to her.

After a brief silence in the room, Tian Wei's face flushed between white and red.

“Then, can we head back now?” Ma Chulong took the initiative to change the subject, seeking Su Yan's opinion.

The atmosphere here didn't seem friendly toward her.

Su Yan nodded. “Let's go back.”

“I'll see you out.”

Soon, Du Jinsong, Su Yan, and the others walked out together.

Zhang Ximing had also intended to leave, but seeing that Tian Wei was still standing there, staring fixedly at Liu Yiyi inside the formation, he cautiously chose to stay.

“Tian Wei, what's wrong?”

“Brother Zhang, haven't you realized it yet?” Tian Wei's low voice seemed to be forcefully suppressing some emotion.

Zhang Ximing's heart trembled, and he immediately pressed, “Realized what?”

“Something is wrong between this Liu Yiyi and Su Yan. There must be an unspeakable secret between the two of them!”
