Yan Feifan, Yanyan, and Tian Yu gathered around the uncovered entrance. They peered down the stairs leading to an unknown depth, then exchanged wide-eyed glances.
"Yanyan, you really didn't know there was a secret room here?"
Yanyan peered down the stairwell again, then shook her head. "Mr. Yan, I had no idea."
"My dad never told me there was a basement here all these years."
"Hey, you don't think... my dad never knew about it either, do you?"
Tian Yu's eyes lit up. "Maybe the previous owner left it behind? Could it be a treasure room?"
"You know, the kind with a big safe?"
Yan Feifan shot her a sideways glance and deliberately tried to scare her. "Why couldn't it be a place where someone was murdered and their body was dumped?"
His words made both Yanyan and Xiaoyu inch closer to him.
Tian Yu tapped Yan Feifan's shoulder with her little fist and grumbled, "Mr. Yan, would you stop trying to scare us?"
"It's the middle of summer, and I'm getting goosebumps."
