Chapter 225 Relying on the Blessing of Divine Beasts, Bravely Venturing into the Apocalypse 59
"Mo Feihan! What brings you here?" Sun Jiayi exclaimed first, her face showing a rare hint of guilt.
The expressions of Han Donglayue and the others changed drastically, and they looked at the young man who had led the way with reproach.
The young man was glared at by the group and hid behind the leader in fear. However, he was taller than Qiu Tong and could not hide his face. His face clearly showed an expression that said, "It has nothing to do with me. I was forced. If you can beat the leader, then go ahead."
Inside, besides Sun Jiayi and his team members, there was an old man sitting at the head of the table, several middle-aged men and women, and seven or eight unfamiliar young people.
Judging from their facial features, they all look somewhat similar to Sun Jiayi, so they are probably all Sun Jiayi's family members.
As Qiu Tong entered the room, the first thing she saw was the old man sitting at the head of the table, followed by the Sun family members standing on either side of the old man, and finally Li Hua and Bu Shuxin standing in the center, surrounded by the Sun family.
At this moment, Li Hua and Bu Shuxin were tied up, their mouths gagged with dirty cloth, and they were excitedly shouting "woo woo woo" towards Qiu Tong.
Qiu Tong glanced at them only before answering Sun Jiayi's question.
"What? Can't I come to your house?" Qiu Tong teased.
"No, it's just that you didn't even let me know you were coming beforehand, so I could have made arrangements and had someone prepare a sumptuous meal for you," Sun Jiayi said, trying to appear calm as she made up a lie.
After teasing Sun Jiayi, Qiu Tong began to examine the layout of the basement.
Aside from the head seat, there was no other place to sit. Even the chair the old man was sitting in seemed to be a simple stool with a backrest that had been temporarily moved in.
The right wall was covered with all sorts of torture instruments, but upon closer inspection, they didn't look like instruments used for interrogation; rather, they resembled sex toys.
Then, turning your gaze to the only conspicuous pink erotic bed in the room, which is right next to the "torture device," what else is there to understand?
On the left wall, there is a large cabinet that occupies half of the wall. It is filled with all kinds of sex toys, as well as some sexy lingerie and cosplay costumes.
On the other half of the wall, where there was no built-in cabinet, there was a door that looked like a bathroom. The remaining wall around the door was covered by a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror, and the door was abruptly embedded in the center of the mirror.
Qiu Tong stepped closer and touched the mirror with one finger. When she saw the distance between her finger and her reflection in the mirror, she realized it was a two-way mirror.
So the mirror isn't for people outside to spy on people taking a bath inside; it means there's a small room opposite that's used for spying on this side. Qiu Tong is more inclined to think it's a bathroom.
She turned the doorknob, pushed the door open, and looked inside. Through the light, she could vaguely see a large bathtub; it was indeed a bathroom.
This large floor-length mirror can be used to peek into the entire bathroom by pressing a button.
It seems this basement was built by the homeowner before the apocalypse to house his mistress.
Seeing Qiu Tong staring thoughtfully at the sex toys on the wall, Han Dong quickly stepped forward to defend everyone.
"Miss Mo, please don't misunderstand. This was left behind by the previous owner, and we haven't had time to clean it up yet." Han Dong forced out the last sentence. They had been living here for several months, and it was not convincing to say that they hadn't had time to deal with it.
They just felt that they rarely came down to the basement, so these things were just sitting there and there was no need to waste time cleaning them up.
Besides, there's a large bed, which is difficult to handle.
If someone in the base saw them throwing out a bed and sex toys like that, who knows what kind of rumors would spread.
But now he regrets not getting rid of these items sooner, and he has to bite the bullet and stand up to explain, otherwise Qiu Tong and Li Mengran will think they are all perverts.
Li Mengran, who hadn't originally thought of it that way, took a closer look at the items and the large bed because of Han Dong's attempt to cover up the truth. She instantly understood what was going on.
"Oh~???"
Seeing Li Mengran's reaction, Han Dong covered his face and regretted it, thinking: I should have known better than to shout so loudly.
Li Mengran's reaction drew the attention of the Sun family members who hadn't had time to notice their surroundings.
Seeing Qiu Tong walk towards the other side of the mirror and fiddle with something, and then open the door in the middle of the mirror, the people in the room followed her movements and all turned their attention to that side.
The expressions of the Sun family members changed instantly, but they all turned their attention back to Sun Jiayi.
As soon as they entered, they rushed to Li Hua and Bu Shuxin, who were tied up in the middle, without paying any attention to the decorations or items in the room.
Now that these worthless items have been discovered, they have all misunderstood Sun Jiayi, believing them to be his collection, and have immediately launched an attack against him.
"You beast, how dare you!?" This was the old man's angry rebuke.
"Jiayi, what's your explanation?" Mr. Sun asked sternly.
"It might be a misunderstanding; my son probably didn't know these things were here," said Sun's mother, speaking up for her son.
Uncle Sun: "Jiayi, you're really outrageous."
Aunt Sun: "Alright, you've scared the child. Let's talk about it slowly."
Uncle Sun: "Well done, you're so good at having fun!"
"Shut up! This is none of your business. If you say another word, I'll beat you up," the aunt said to the uncle.
Uncle: "Jiayi, when did you learn to play like this? It seems I really shouldn't have supported you coming to Shaanxi Province to study."
Aunt: "Sigh, the child is all grown up and has his own ideas, but he shouldn't act like this."
Uncle: "Wow! Wow! ヾ(*ΦwΦ)ツ"
Aunt: "Tsk tsk tsk..."
Aunt: "Third brother and sister-in-law, stop arguing. Jiayi has been corrupted by you two."
The older cousin leaned close to Sun Jiayi's ear and whispered, "You're really disloyal. You had such a great place, and you didn't even tell me beforehand."
The eldest cousin's wife stepped forward, grabbed the eldest cousin's ear, pulled him away from Sun Jiayi, and then slapped him hard on the head. The eldest cousin immediately became obedient.
My cousin adjusted her glasses and stared at Sun Jiayi expressionlessly: "..."
Second cousin: "Little Jiajia, you've gone astray, haven't you???"
The younger cousins and sisters-in-law below Sun Jiayi all looked on with schadenfreude and teased him.
"Jiayi, you're in big trouble!"
"Brother, I told you not to go overboard."
"Brother, did you take any precautions? Don't catch any weird diseases."
"Jiayi, come here, come here, quickly start telling me."
"It's a good thing that Grandpa and Grandma didn't come, otherwise they would have given you a hard time."
These are the reactions from Sun Jiayi's family. However, there was no malice in their words, and they seem to have a good relationship, which is why they teased each other like this.
Qiu Tong turned her head and saw Sun Jiayi being besieged by her family, looking helpless and unable to defend herself.
Sun Jiayi was also completely bewildered as he looked at the items in the room. He had never been to the basement before, so he didn't know that these things were here.
"No, I didn't, I didn't know there would be these things here." Sun Jiayi frantically waved her hands in front of her chest to deny it, her head shaking so much that it was almost a blur.
Han Dong thought that since the Third Young Master rarely came here, he didn't tell him what was here.
In December, they were all anxious to defend the Third Young Master, but no matter how they explained, no one in the Sun family was willing to believe them, and they all thought they were protecting Sun Jiayi.
“Master, gentlemen and ladies, young masters and young ladies, things are not as you think. The Third Young Master here is unaware of this,” Layue said.
"We just didn't have time to deal with these items; they were all left behind by the previous owner," Duanwu said.
“The Third Young Master has never been here before, so he is unaware of the existence of these things,” Chongyang said.
“We don’t usually use this place, so we feel there’s no need to get rid of the items here, and they’re all just sitting here,” Guoqing said.
Spring Festival: "Please forgive the Third Young Master; he was unaware of the situation."
"Blame us if you must, please don't blame the Third Young Master," said Qingming, the young man who led Qiu Tong and Li Mengran.
The team members are named after holidays. The guards who escorted the old man and his family this time are named after the twenty-four solar terms. If there are duplicate names, they are replaced with homophones.
On the way to Qingming with Qiutong and Li Mengran, they encountered several guardians named after the solar terms walking around their homes.
"Alright, stop covering for him. We know what kind of person he is. He's always so unreliable."
"You brat, hurry up and admit your mistake, or your grandfather will punish you according to family rules!" Sun's father interrupted the other guards who were trying to defend Sun Jiayi, while warning him that he would be treated leniently if he confessed.
Qiu Tong walked back to her original position, leaned against the door, and watched the family making a ruckus. Li Mengran also stood next to her.
Li Hua and Bu Shuxin also wanted to take advantage of the family's infighting to find an opportunity to escape.
The ideal was beautiful, but the reality was that they couldn't break free from their constraints; the ropes binding their hands behind their backs tightened the more they pulled.
Finally, the two women gave up struggling and slowly moved to the vicinity of the gate, leaving the encirclement of the Sun family. They then tried to sneak up and hop to the door.
Unfortunately, before they even got close to the gate, they were pushed back by the New Year's Day and Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations blocking the entrance, and stumbled and fell back to their original positions.
