It stuck out like a sore thumb.
Jay walked toward it, reached out, and knocked on the gypsum wood. The knocking sound echoed from its hollow interior. Jay forcefully pushed against it and the gypsum wood slid to the side.
There was another layer of the wall, but it was sealed u p with phoebe zhennan wood, so it looked very sturdy.
Between the inner and outer layers of the wall was a path. It was pitch-black inside.
Jay turned on the torch on his phone and went inside t o walk along the path. He saw that the path was made up of steps like a stairway, each step no wider than thirty centimeters. A normal person would not be able to go through it.
Jay’s face paled a little. The strands of hair in his hand burned like they would consume him in its flames.
Tempest found the chestnut-colored hair in that path. Could it be that she lived there?
Could she be considered a normal person, then?
"Mr. President." Tempest's voice rang out of nowhere.
Jay slowly turned around.
Tempest watched as the president shook and
trembled, his lips pale. He was worried about him.
"Tempest..." Jay suddenly grabbed Tempest’s arms anxiously. "When you find her, save her!"
Tempest was confused, but when he saw the strands o f hair in between the president's fingers, he understood.
“Mr. President, I'll help you save her," Tempest said solemnly.
He sat Jay down on a chair and poured him a glass of hot water. "Mr. President, have some water to calm your nerves."
Jay took the glass and necked its contents.
Soon after, Jay felt a weakness coursing through his body. He thought perhaps it was because of his excessive lack of sleep recently, hence a few symptoms had manifested. He did not want to think any more of it, so he collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.
Tempest stayed by the president's side for a while. He saw the frown on his brows and his heart ached a little.
