Jiang Nanshu's attention shifted from Snow Rose to the source of the noise in an instant.
The villa was large, but the noise was so faint that it was barely audible in the silence.
In a moment, Jiang Nanshu knew exactly where it was coming from. She had studied the entire house when she lived here before; there was a basement below, normally used for storing assorted items.
Jiang Nanshu headed straight there. Unlike Half Mountain Villa, the basement here could be opened with a password. She tried the original password once, Lu Qingyan's birthday, but it was incorrect.
She then tried her own birthday, also wrong. She entered several, nearly triggering a lockout, when Jiang Nanshu suddenly remembered the Mid-Autumn banquet—the day Lu Qingyan had confessed his feelings and they had become a couple.
0925.
The basement door opened.
A pungent smell wafted out.
