After sneaking into the study where Mrs. Ning and the man had been staying before, Li Jiangnan found the medicine bottle in the inner room. He made two pills from the medicine bottle. After a little smell, he probably understood what medicine it was.

This compound pill contains Western medicine ingredients such as phenobarbital and carbamazepine. It is mostly psychotropic drugs used to regulate brain waves and improve nerve function. Li Jiangnan couldn't help but wonder, is that the man named Li Xiuwen who has a divine-level function disease?

unknown.

He put the small medicine bottle back and began to search the dark study room carefully. He had a feeling that this study room was worth searching. If there was no valuable thing here, there would not be two black suit shadow warriors who would patrol the corridors at all times.

However, he searched the desk and drawer several times, but he did not see anything valuable, nothing but confidential documents, government records, correspondence, etc. that were meaningless to him.

Then he walked towards the bookcase and inspected the books inside layer by layer. At this time, he discovered something strange. The bookcase where the books were placed looked like a mahogany bookcase on the surface, but in fact it felt cold to the touch, and it was obviously made of metal such as steel.

why is that?

Generally speaking, anyone with a little status will use high-end wooden bookcases such as mahogany and sandalwood. No matter how bad it is, they will use wooden bookcases made of relatively sturdy materials such as elm or ash. Few people use bookcases made of steel and metal.

But in this obviously magnificent study, the bookcases that collect books are cold metal furniture. This is obviously unreasonable.

Li Jiangnan couldn't help but begin to suspect that the thick metal bookcase might be a secret door, and there might be something hidden behind it. He opened the book placed and knocked on the back of the bookcase. The sound was empty, indicating that there was indeed space behind the bookcase. He released his spiritual sense and tried to penetrate the bookcase and search the back of the bookcase.

However, what surprised him was that his spiritual sense could not penetrate the bookcase at all, and he didn't know what metal the bookcase was made of. It was probably a rare metal such as electromagnetic and light insulation, which made Li Jiangnan helpless.

This is the second time that Li Jiangnan has encountered this phenomenon. A few months ago, when he killed the female ghost cultivator on the eighth floor in an apartment building in Hong Kong Island, Li Jiangnan also encountered similar things. At that time, the female ghost cultivator was hiding in a mysterious wood wardrobe. Li Jiangnan's spiritual sense could not penetrate, and finally he used fireball techniques to forcibly destroy the female ghost cultivator, which forced the female ghost cultivator to appear.

And now this strange metal bookcase... I guess even if you use fireball, you will not be able to break it.

Li Jiangnan stood in front of the bookcase and looked at it for a long time. Finally, he came to a conclusion that if he wanted to open the secret door of the bookcase, he had to find some mechanism.

He was patient and searched in this study again.

This time he searched more carefully and seriously. Not long after, he finally discovered a mystery, the bronze bull sculpture on the desk.

The base of the copper bull sculpture is fixed on the desk table and cannot be moved or taken away. But what is strange is that this fierce bull sculpture has two curved horns. One horn is dim and only reveals the true color of copper metal, while the other horn is very different. It seems to be often touched and shiny.

Li Jiangnan knew that there must be something wrong with the horn, so he pulled the horn with his hand. As a result, he rubbed the horn and the horn was like a moving wrench. Li Jiangnan just used some force casually, and the horn rotated to another angle.

Immediately afterwards, the heavy bookcase against the wall began to rotate automatically, and soon exposed a dark room entrance of two meters wide at the rear.

Li Jiangnan went over and looked at it. There was a stone stairway leading to the obliquely lower inside the entrance of the cave. There were also wall lamps placed on the stone wall, extending downwards all the way. I don’t know where this stone stairway leads to.

Li Jiangnan was secretly on guard and walked slowly forward along the stone steps.

...

Li Jiangnan thought this secret passage would be very complicated, but after walking down, there was only one passage, no fork, and there was no need to turn. After walking about a few dozen meters, the stone steps were at the end.

Li Jiangnan probably had already arrived at the underground floor of Hongxiu Tower. There was an iron door in front of him. There was a faint light from the crack of the door below, and the regular sound of the whistling breathing fan could be heard. Li Jiangnan took a secret breath, strengthened his vigilance, and slowly opened the iron door.

Behind the iron gate was a short walkway, with two stone walls, and several iron doors opened opposite each other. Li Jiangnan looked at the cramped walkway and the thick iron doors with iron fences and windows, and felt that this place looked like a secret prison.

Li Jiangnan stopped moving forward, released his spiritual sense, and carefully investigated this prison area.

The three prison rooms on the left and right were empty, with no lights and no people living there. Only the one on the innermost side to the right had the lights open, and the camera at the corner of the ceiling was also slowly rotating left and right, keeping the entire prison room in sight. On the single bed against the wall, there was a middle-aged man in pajamas leaning there, flipping through books without any haste.

Li Jiangnan used his spiritual sense to observe it very clearly. The middle-aged man looked almost exactly the same as the man who had been with Mrs. Ning. Obviously, the person who had been with Mrs. Ning was just a fake guy, and the person who was imprisoned here alone was the biological father Li Jiangnan did not want to admit but had to admit: Li Xiuwen.

Li Jiangnan retracted his spiritual sense, walked to the iron gate, and looked quietly at the man leaning against the bedside to flip through the iron fence window above the iron gate.

Finally seeing his father, Li Jiangnan did not have much complicated emotions. He looked calmly, with only one thought in his heart:

If possible, he would rather not have to see this man in his whole life than worry about his life or death.

Perhaps because he noticed someone outside the door, Li Xiuwen did not look up and slowly flipped through the pages of the book and said, "I have already said that you don't need to send me a midnight snack. It's enough to send me a few more books."

Looking at his quiet expression, it doesn’t seem like he is imprisoned here, but rather like he is staying at home and reading a book leisurely.

"If you want to see the light of day again, don't act too aggressively. First control your emotions, then slowly walk over with your back to the camera..."

Li Jiangnan spoke in a cold tone. This was the first time he saw his father in his life and said the first sentence.
