Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 218

Chapter 218 The Labyrinth Has No Treasure

“Mom, you need to rest more as you’re not in good health. I’ll look for Matthew and Veronica.”

When he saw Elizabeth’s sad expression, he comforted her by saying, “Anyway, Matthew is someone who has experienced a lot of ups and downs. He is very skilled, intelligent, and courageous. I’m sure he’ll be fine.”

“Oh, I’m hoping so.”

She sighed in disappointment, waved her hand, and motioned for Conrad to leave.

Conrad nodded and walked out of the living room.

He led a group of people around the courtyard of Kings Residence and kept searching until he reached the bamboo forest in the back garden. Conrad cast a cold glance at the massive rock that Veronica had created before giving everyone an instruction, “Examine the area carefully to see if there are any clues. Take a few people to the bamboo forest to look around, Santiago.”

“Okay, Sir Conrad.”

The servant took the order and beckoned to several people before entering the bamboo forest in a circle.

Even though Santiago stepped on the spot where Veronica and Matthew had fallen, he noticed nothing out of the ordinary. The night was getting dark and the people who were looking for Veronica and Matthew were still searching everywhere.

Thomas also contacted Caleb, who was the captain of the criminal investigation. As a police officer attached to the criminal division, he was naturally more sensitive than ordinary people.

Furthermore, since he was Matthew’s brother, Thomas naturally thought of him as trustworthy.

Matthew and Veronica were marking as they searched for the correct path inside the secret room.

“Let’s take a break,” Veronica, who was tired from walking, said at that moment. We won’t be able to find the exit for quite some time, so there’s no need to rush.”

“Let’s rest in this room.”

Matthew pointed to a room diagonally across from them. There was a wooden door, which was rotten.

He kicked the door open and led Veronica inside.

After they lit the night light on the wall with the candle they were holding, the entire room became extraordinarily bright under the illumination of the two night lights.

“This appears to be a study room.” There are a plethora of books on the shelves. Could it be some kind of ancient martial art? Tsk… If there were any treasure maps or something, wouldn’t I make a fortune?”

Veronica casually cracked a joke, walked over to the bookshelf, reached out and touched the well-preserved bookshelf, “Could it be made of Phoebe zhennan? Otherwise, how could it be still intact after so many years?”

When the two were looking for the exit, they came across a number of rooms.

There was a large secret room hall surrounded by mythical beast statues and bronze statues, as well as bedrooms, pharmaceutical secret rooms, and so on.

When Veronica reached out to take a book to read, she noticed a purple sandalwood box beneath a thick layer of dust from the corner of her eyes.

“What is this?” she muttered as she opened the box.

However, before her fingers touched the box, she withdrew her hand. “Matthew, come and take a look. The dust falling on the box is of different shades, and there are even a few fingerprints with a thin layer of dust on them. Doesn’t this imply that someone knows about and has visited this location?”

Matthew approached her, his gaze fixed on the purple sandalwood box. The box was carved with a dragon pattern totem.

There were obvious fingerprints in the dust on the totem, but there was a thin layer of dust on the fingerprints.
