Chapter 17 Life, if only as first seen. Next

The atmosphere in the library became weird.

As a soldier carefully trained by the Chu family, Chu Yu had an unusual intuition for danger. He clearly felt that the danger was approaching step by step, and the danger came from behind him, but Chu Yu still chose to stand where he was.

There was no hiding or looking back.

At this moment, he thought of the rainy night when Chu Feiyun was killed many years ago. Unlike that time, Chu Yu was full of panic. Now he was just worried about what was about to happen - he was not worried about his own safety.

, but worry about seeing the person you don’t want to see.

Besides Chu Yu, there is another person in the library, Chu Chu.

Chu Yu, who felt a faint murderous aura, was unwilling to admit that Chu Chu would take action against him.

Just because you don't want to do something doesn't mean it won't happen.

Chu Chu soared into the sky only ten feet away from Chu Yu, like a falcon soaring in the night sky, making no sound.

She raised the dagger and stabbed Chu Yu directly in the back of the heart. Her movements were clean and neat, without any sloppiness. She looked like a well-trained assassin.

After confirming that Chu Chu behind him was attacking him, Chu Yu did not hesitate any longer. With a slight exertion of force on his feet, Chu Yu's whole body rushed forward like an arrow leaving the string. Chu Yu, who escaped from Chu Chu's sneak attack, turned around sharply and saw Ruying.

He was accompanied by Chu Chu, who was only one meter away from him.

Chu Chu held a dagger in one hand and a powerful flashlight in the other. Using the moonlight outside the library, when she saw Chu Yu turning around, she suddenly turned on the light. The strong beam of light from the light shot straight into Chu Yu's eyes, which caught her by surprise.

Chu Yu subconsciously closed his eyes tightly.

Chu Chu, who had long expected that Chu Yu would react like this, had a sneer on her lips. Just when her dagger was less than half a foot away from Chu Yu, Chu Yu's movement suddenly made Chu Chu stop.

Chu Yu, who closed his eyes under the stimulation of the bright light, sensed something was wrong. He quickly backed away and subconsciously raised his hands to block his eyes.

Chu Chu looked at the ring on the finger of Chu Yu's left hand and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. In this moment of confusion, Chu Yu had already stepped back a foot.

Chu Yu opened his eyes and looked at Chu Chu in front of him. Before he could speak, a familiar call came: "Brother, why is it you?"

Chu Chu said as he took back the dagger, put the bright flashlight in his pocket, and then ran towards Chu Yu quickly.

Chu Yu didn't know why the Chu Chu in front of him suddenly stopped, but he knew that if she had wanted to kill her just now, I'm afraid he would be dead now. Seeing Chu Chu walking towards him now, Chu Yu struggled in his heart, and then smiled and said

: "Chu Chu, what's wrong with you?"

Chu Chu did not explain what she had just done. She threw herself into Chu Yu's arms and trembled a little: "Brother, you are finally back."

"What happened?" Feeling the trembling on Chu Chu's body, Chu Yu looked confused.

"A very scary person came in just now." Chu Yu said, looking at the library bookshelf on one side: "He looks so scary!"

"Is someone coming in?" Chu Yu said, frowning, and following Chu Chu's gaze, he looked at the bookshelf not far away and said, "Where is there anyone? Did you have a nightmare when you fell asleep just now?"

"

"No!" Chu Chu's head shook like a rattle: "I didn't see you when I woke up, so I came down to look for you, and then I saw him coming in."

"What about others?"

"I don't know either. He was right in front of that bookshelf. After a while, I heard a noise and didn't see him again."

Hearing Chu Chu's words, Chu Yu said nothing more. With a move in his heart, he walked towards the bookshelf Chu Chu mentioned. It was a very ordinary bookshelf filled with books. Because the lights outside could not illuminate this position, Chu Yu walked from Chu Chu's

I need a flashlight in my hand, cover up some of the light, and examine the bookshelf carefully.

Chu Yu didn't find anything unusual.

The books are put together in categories, very neat, and there is no sign that they have been turned over.

"Look, I said there is no one." Chu Yu said and looked at Chu Chu, only to see Chu Chu staring at a place. Following Chu Chu's gaze, Chu Yu saw a clear footprint next to the bookshelf.

The footprints were huge and looked a bit scary. Staring at the footprints, Chu Chu threw herself into Chu Yu's arms again: "Brother, I really didn't lie. Look at the footprints on the ground..." Chu Chu subconsciously covered her mouth as she said that.

, as if afraid of being overheard by the owner of the footprints and not daring to speak any more.

Chu Yu patted Chu Chu's back, and then came to the footprints under the bookshelf. Standing at the footprints, Chu Yu looked at the bookshelf in front of him. After a while, there was a place that caught Chu Yu's attention. That was the sticker.

The label on the bookshelf crossbar is different from other labels. This label is stuck on the wooden frame with a piece of tape. Logically speaking, such a label should be very clean, but the area where the tape and the wooden frame are next to each other is a little dark.

It seems that someone often tears this tape.

"Chu Chu, don't be afraid, look what I found?" Chu Yu said, stepping forward and lifting a corner of the tape, and then saw a golden button embedded in the wooden frame.

Seeing Chu Yu discovering the button, Chu Chu's eyes widened. Chu Yu hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and pressed the button. As the button dented, a slight clicking sound sounded from the bookshelf in front of Chu Yu, and then the entire bookshelf moved sideways.

Five feet away, a secret passage suddenly appeared in front of Chu Yu. The steps in the secret passage extended underground...

Looking at the stairs extending deep into the sky with no end in sight, Chu Yu knew that he might have found a place that many people dream of going to. At this moment, Chu Yu's face showed a hint of joy. When he looked at Chu Chu again,

There was a complicated look in Chu Yu's eyes.

"Let's go!" After saying that, Chu Yu took Chu Chu and walked towards the secret passage.

As the two of them entered the dark passage, the bookshelf was quickly closed. Fortunately, there was a light not far from the stairs. The two of them walked without feeling tired. They kept walking down in silence. Soon, a hall appeared in front of them.

Looking at the plot before their eyes, the two of them looked at each other in unison, and they could clearly see the shock on each other's faces.

It turned out that the two of them did not go underground when they went down, but came to the upper floor of the library again - the Huo family's library is very large, with a total of six floors. In the afternoon, Chu Yu visited every floor, but

Chu Yu didn't see this layer in front of him. If he hadn't looked at the night outside through the window, Chu Yu would have thought he was dreaming!

Chu Yu couldn't imagine such an exquisitely designed library. I'm afraid even the Bai family couldn't achieve such exquisite skills, right?

Thinking like this, Chu Yu carefully came to the bookshelves one by one. Looking at the full archives on them, the look on Chu Yu's face became more and more surprised. The bookshelves were divided one by one according to the year. On each bookshelf,

There were labels such as events and characters. Chu Yu looked around carefully and suddenly stopped in front of a bookshelf. There was only one label on this bookshelf: Top Secret.

Looking at everything in front of him, Chu Yu did not find the scary person Chu Chu mentioned. Soon, Chu Yu's eyes fell firmly on a file: the death of Chu Feiyun.

He tremblingly picked up the file and glanced at it twice, his brows gradually knitted together. After a moment, Chu Yu looked at Chu Chu with cold eyes: "Who are you? Why did you bring me here?"

"Brother, what did you say?"

"You are not Chu Chu!" Chu Yu said coldly.

"I don't know what you are talking about." Chu Chu, whose expression changed slightly, looked at Chu Yu and asked.

"When I told you the address in the taxi, you asked me why I wanted to go to the Huo family. I really didn't know where the Huo family was. This is one of the reasons."

"When I was carrying you, you weighed much less than Chu Chu. Although Chu Chu and I haven't seen each other for two days, Chu Chu's weight cannot change so little."

"Your ability to disguise yourself is really at its peak. Coupled with the little secrets you carefully found out about me and Chu Chu, I almost thought you were really Chu Chu. If the above are not enough to prove that you are not Chu Chu... just one point

Just let me be sure that you can never be Chu Chu - when you were in the cinema, you said that brother would save me..."

Chu Yu said with a hint of sadness on his face: "If Chu Chu and I are both in danger, she will not let me save her. Moreover, if I don't give the jade ring, Chu Chu will not ask for it.

.”

After saying this in a coherent manner, Chu Yu stuffed the file into his arms and pressed closer to the fake Chu Chu step by step: "Tell me, who are you and where is my sister Chu Chu now!"
