The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Chapter 1689: The Ancient Pagoda Illuminated by Candles

Little Taotie held the scalpel and poked at the Stone Gate, cutting for quite a while. As they neared the Yellow Diamond, a noise was heard from outside the door.

Lou Lan had returned.

Little Taotie instinctively paused his tinkering, his breathing became slow.

"What are you doing?" Lou Lan sighed from outside the Stone Gate, "I’ve already seen you, it’s too late to stop now."

Little Taotie widened his eyes, suddenly, the Stone Gate opened, Lou Lan walked in holding a phone, and the screen was filled with surveillance footage. It turned out there was a hidden monitoring camera on the Stone Gate, possibly one of the diamonds.

Little Taotie hid the little hand clutching the scalpel behind his back, Lou Lan chuckled helplessly: "I’ve seen it all."

Little Taotie muttered: "You locked us up first, we were just trying to find a way to escape."

Lou Lan nodded: "You were indeed close to succeeding."

Little Taotie’s eyes lit up, excitement audible in his childish tone: "So this Yellow Diamond is really the formation eye."

Lou Lan nodded: "Yes."

"You are very smart, it seems it’s not easy for me to keep you locked up."

"Why are you locking us up, wouldn’t it be better to let us find Head Grandpa, teacher, aren’t you worried about Head Grandpa?"

"Worried."

"Since you’re worried, can we go find Head Grandpa?" The little girl rubbed her small hands, her big eyes full of pleading.

If the little girl was stubborn, it would be another matter. Lou Lan could still keep her locked, but now that the girl yielded and pleaded, Lou Lan sighed: "I’m preparing to set off, get ready and catch up."

Saying this, Lou Lan turned and left.

Little Taotie reacted, grabbing Hua Jinyan’s hand and hurriedly caught up, "We have nothing to pack, we can leave anytime!"

Seeing the girl smiling happily, Lou Lan shook his head: "Alright, keep up."

Lou Lan was driving a sports car, with only two seats.

Little Taotie waved his hand: "It’s okay, Hua Jinyan can sit on my lap, I’m strong."

Hua Jinyan: "..."

Little Taotie sat in the seat, patting his thigh, "Come, sit up."

Hua Jinyan: "..."

"Pfft!" Lou Lan burst out laughing: "We’ll just switch cars."

Finally, Lou Lan borrowed a car from a member.

After getting in the car, Little Taotie asked: "Where are we going to find Head Grandpa?"

As for where to start looking, Special Department had long established a set of plans, both domestically and abroad.

For instance, a village at the crossroads abroad, the last crisis where the plane landed, the route recorded by the GPS...

The entire journey could be locations where Shen Cang disappeared.

Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan napped for a while, the sky had turned dark, yet the car continued forward until dawn broke, when it finally stopped at the first location recorded by the navigation.

There were already three people here, all members of the Special Department.

Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan woke up, seeing Lou Lan looking slightly weary.

"Teacher, are we at our destination?"

Lou Lan nodded: "Get out of the car."

The two got out, greeting the three members warmly.

They did not recklessly enter the Ancient Pagoda ahead, but kept exploring the surroundings, waiting for Lou Lan to come and muster the courage to proceed.

The ground floor of the Ancient Pagoda had a copper door, and one of the Special Department members possessed lock-picking skills, so soon the copper door was opened.

The inside was not pitch black; candles were burning, making the atmosphere all the more eerie.

"We’ve been guarding here all along, no one has gone in, so why are the candles lit..."
