Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Chapter 192 Lan Family Basement

The destination was a cave-like place. The ground was gray and black, and looked bumpy. Every place seemed to be covered with something, and the original appearance could not be seen. However, judging from the roughness of the surface, it was originally made of cement. The only thing that looked modern here was the several red chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The rest of the place looked like an ancient prison cell.

There were five large rusty iron cages on the ground. Each cage contained a person, mostly women and children, but also a few men. Some had three or four people, and some had more than a dozen. No one was wearing any clothes, and they were naked in the cage.

Everyone was unkempt, and it was unknown how long it had been since they had showered. There were a lot of yellow stains and sticky substances in the cages, with flies flying around them. There were also flies around the skin of those people, most of which were flying around the buttocks of the men and the blood and excrement on the women's private parts.

The stench here was even more outrageous. Yun Xue finally had no choice but to take out a bottle of perfume from her suit jacket and spray it on a handkerchief, then put the perfumed handkerchief close to her mouth and nose and sniffed it.

Seeing this, Lu Jingqian came forward, stretched out his hands in front of him, and whispered: "Sir, can you give me some perfume?"

Yun Xue finally opened the perfume pump and sprayed it directly on his hands a few times.

"Thank you, sir." Lu Jingqian rubbed his hands quickly, put his hands close to his mouth and nose, and breathed in the fragrance on them.

The housekeeper looked back and forth between the two of them, and also walked closer to Yun Xuezhongkai, "Mr. Yun, can you give me some perfume too? This place, ah... I'm really sorry, I didn't take care of it much, I didn't know it would become like this, I will definitely punish the person who is in charge when I go back."

Yun Xue finally raised her eyes and quickly looked at him. Without asking any questions, she quickly sprayed some perfume on his hands.

"Mr. Yun, thank you." The housekeeper quickly raised his hand to smell the perfume on his hand, "This is the basement you mentioned. Please feel free to do whatever you want."

Yun Xue finally closed his mouth tightly, nodded, and said nothing. He walked slowly in front of the cages and finally stopped in front of the only group of people wearing clothes. These people were all men, and there were six of them. They looked the cleanest among the group and were in the best mental state.

He carefully observed them several times, then turned to Lu Jingqian and said, "Xiao Lu, take a look, are these the people?"

"Ok sir."

Lu Jingqian took out a few photos from his bag, held them in his hands, walked to the cage, and compared the people in the cage with the people in the photos one by one.

When the people in the cage saw his action, they all became very excited and kept hitting the iron cage with their bodies. Their mouths were sealed with tape, and their hands were tied. They could not speak and could only babble vaguely.

Soon, Lu Jingqian finished the comparison. He returned to Yun Xuezhongkai and reported: "Sir, it's them. Except for the two who died in the overturned car, the others are all here."

"Very good." Yun Xue finally nodded slightly.

There were not only cages, but also iron racks with many instruments. He looked at the person in the cage again, and then walked to the iron rack to look. The items on the rack were all torture instruments, all kinds of knives, handcuffs, whips, pliers, clamps, etc. Different from this old environment, these torture instruments were brand new, and they clearly shone with the light of metal, which made people shudder just by looking at them.

Among these things, there was one thing that caught Yun Xue's attention at first sight. It was a shiny black pistol, which lay there like a coiled Mexican black king snake. He didn't think much about it and picked it up to check. He took out the magazine skillfully and found it was full of bullets, a total of ten rounds.

After checking the magazine, he quickly put it back, then loaded the gun and pointed it at the person in the cage.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

The pistol fired ten bullets in a row, all of which hit the vital parts of the person. The gunshots stopped, and the people in the cages fell silent. The people in the other cages who were originally shouting stopped shouting, and everyone stared blankly at the direction where Yun Xue finally fired.

After firing the gun, Yun Xue finally put the gun back to its original position, walked up to the butler and said, "Mr. Lan's butler, let's go."

"Oh... okay." The butler immediately came back to his senses from his shock.

When the three of them returned, they followed the same route. The wall lamps here were sometimes working and sometimes not. They were not very bright when they came, but they were much brighter when they returned. Some of the lamps that were not bright before were now bright, illuminating the maggots on the ground and the source of the stench. It turned out to be some broken limbs. Those limbs were completely corroded, but it was vaguely seen that the cross-sections of these limbs were very neat.

Yun Xue finally remembered every key location on the way here, including those lights that were not working. Now that they were all on, he casually said: "Mr. Butler, why don't you fix the lights here when they are so broken? Youde is old and it's not easy for him to walk here."

The housekeeper was frightened by Yun Xuezhong's intimidating and cunning appearance. His voice suddenly echoed in the corridor and startled him. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Yun, thank you for your trouble. Our master just likes this kind of dark feeling. You know, he is old and his eyes are a little afraid of light."

"I see." Yun Xue finally nodded, without asking any more questions, and just looked around secretly.

Suddenly, he was caught off guard by a pair of dark eyes.
