The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 315 The Underground City That Never Sleeps

Qi Yuxuan, Leng Feng, and Zhao Wanqing have been imprisoned in the secret basement for several days.

At this moment, they had finished lunch and were resting in the chess and card room.

Although the environment here is luxurious, it is filled with endless longing and anxiety for them.

These past few days of detention have made Qi Yuxuan miss Qiu Ziyue even more.

He often found himself lost in thought, imagining himself flying freely like a bird to her side.

At this moment, he gently stroked the Vajra Lock on his wrist and ankle. The chains looked light, but they were indestructible.

"The environment here is not bad. Li Cunxu still has some conscience," Zhao Wanqing said calmly, leaning back on the bench.

"Yeah, it seems Li Cunxu comes here often. This place is like a modern city that never sleeps. He doesn't hire any young ladies to perform here, so we're not lonely."

Leng Feng joked.

"It would be even more exciting if I could do pole dancing."

"You still have the mind to joke around here? Who would have thought that kid would turn out like this, resorting to any means to achieve his goals?"

Qiu Langyu took over the conversation, his tone filled with indignation.

"Throughout history, emperors have mostly been ruthless. If he didn't kill us, it means he still has some conscience."

Leng Feng sighed and said.

Hearing their words, Qi Yuxuan felt helpless and remained silent.

He understood that everyone's feelings were complicated, but at that moment, he had only one thought in his mind:

Escape from here as soon as possible and take Qiu Ziyue far away.

He knew that Li Cunxu was unfathomable and would not let them go easily once the time was right.

Qi Yuxuan closed his eyes, and Qiu Ziyue's smile appeared in his mind.

Her lively and lovely eyes, and sweet smile.

He thought that although Qiu Ziyue would be pampered like a treasure by Li Cunxu, she would definitely be crying every day.

He understood Qiu Ziyue's feelings for him, and he also knew that Qiu Ziyue couldn't stand being wronged.

Thinking about these things made him even more determined to leave.

He knew that in order to escape successfully, he had to calmly analyze the current situation and find a suitable opportunity.

After several days of observation, Qi Yuxuan discovered that although the mechanisms in the secret room were complex, they were not foolproof.

The waiter who delivers the meals always enters through the same entrance, which doesn't seem to have any particularly tight security.

Perhaps this is their only chance.

Qi Yuxuan decided to stop waiting passively and instead actively seek opportunities.

He whispered to Leng Feng and Zhao Wanqing:

“We can’t just sit here and wait to die. I’ve come up with a plan.”

Leng Feng and Zhao Wanqing looked at him intently.

“The waiters who deliver our meals all come in through the same entrance every day. If we can create some chaos at this time, we might have a chance to escape.”

Qi Yuxuan said in a low voice.

Zhao Wanqing nodded:

"That's a good idea, but we need a more detailed plan. After all, the consequences of failure would be unimaginable."

Leng Feng also expressed his agreement:

“I agree. We can use this time to study the structure of this secret room and find more clues that we can use.”

Qi Yuxuan's heart stirred, and he remembered the Vajra Lock on his wrist.

Although the chain was sturdy, he noticed a detail—

The chains would loosen slightly whenever there was a specific sound or vibration.

Perhaps this is the key to unlocking it.

The three sat together and began to discuss their escape plan in detail.

To escape, they must unlock the Vajra Lock, and the three unanimously agreed.

The Vajra locks firmly bound their wrists and ankles.

These seemingly light chains are exceptionally strong, and any attempt to break free ends in failure.

But at this moment, the three decided not to sit idly by and wait for their doom, but to actively seek a way to unlock the Vajra Lock.

For the past few days, Qi Yuxuan has been observing every detail of the chains, trying to find the secrets within them.

Suddenly, he noticed a tiny gap in the chain.

The gap will open slightly whenever there is a specific sound or vibration.

"Look!"

Qi Yuxuan said in a low voice, showing the chains to Zhao Wanqing and Qiu Langyu.

"I've found a possible clue."

Zhao Wanqing carefully examined the chains and nodded in agreement:

"This is indeed unusual, and that may be the key to unlocking it."

Qiu Langyu frowned and asked:

"So how can we take advantage of this?"

Qi Yuxuan continued:

"I noticed that when regular vibrations are transmitted to the chains, they loosen temporarily."

If we can find a way to generate such vibrations, perhaps we can open these locks.

After a moment of contemplation, Zhao Wanqing said:

“We can try to create vibrations using some tools. Here are some items like chess pieces, tables, and chairs that might come in handy.”

"We also need a trigger point to allow the vibration to be transmitted at a certain frequency."

For example, a thin thread can be connected between a chain and a fixed object, and then the thread can be pulled to generate vibration.

Qiu Langyu learns some physics knowledge every day at school, and it just so happens to come in handy now.

The three quickly divided the work and began searching for and preparing the necessary tools.

Zhao Wanqing found several chess pieces and carefully arranged them in a straight line;

Qiu Langyu then found a thin thread and fixed it to the wall on one side;

Qi Yuxuan was responsible for adjusting the position of the Vajra Lock to ensure that the vibration could be transmitted accurately.

Once everything was ready, Qi Yuxuan took a deep breath and signaled everyone to begin.

Zhao Wanqing gently tapped the chess piece, making a rhythmic sound, while Qiu Langyu pulled the thin string, creating a slight vibration.

Each vibration is transmitted to the diamond lock, causing it to loosen slightly.

After several attempts, Qi Yuxuan felt that the chain on his wrist was finally loosening.

He quickly seized the opportunity, pulled hard, and the chain actually came off.

Seeing that Qi Yuxuan had successfully unlocked his Vajra Lock, Zhao Wanqing and Qiu Langyu also tried to do so.

Sure enough, their chains were successfully unlocked using the same method.

The three of them smiled at each other, their hearts filled with joy and hope.

Then, Qi Yuxuan suggested:

"We should take this opportunity to explore the area and find an exit or other escape route."

Zhao Wanqing nodded in agreement:

“That’s right. Since there’s an entrance for delivering food here, there must be other ways out. Let’s split up and find a breakthrough as soon as possible.”

Qiu Langyu added:

"Be careful and avoid attracting unnecessary attention. Once an opportunity arises, act immediately."

The three regained their composure and executed their next plan: to create chaos.

The lights in the secret basement remained dim and yellow.

Qi Yuxuan, Leng Feng, and Zhao Wanqing sat in the chess and card room, their hearts filled with a longing for freedom.

"Are you out of your mind? You're thinking of playing cards in a place like this!"

Leng Feng raised his voice and started arguing loudly.

Zhao Wanqing also responded in a cooperative manner:

"You're the one with a problem! What's the point of arguing here?"

Their argument quickly spread throughout the basement, attracting the attention of the cooks and guards.

However, the people's reaction surprised them—the chefs did not step forward to stop them.

Instead, they stood aside like spectators, a smug smile on their faces, as if they hoped the argument would get even louder.

"Looks like this trick didn't work."

Zhao Wanqing said in a low voice, her eyes revealing disappointment.

Leng Feng frowned and pondered for a moment before saying:

"Let's use poison instead. Sprinkle some muscle relaxant on them. Twilight Sparkle did that before."

Zhao Wanqing nodded in agreement, and the group quickly got to work, secretly sprinkling the pre-prepared Sujin Ruangu powder into the food.

However, after the cooks and guards had eaten, they found that these people were still able to move around freely, as if nothing had happened.

"Has the Sujin Ruangu San (a traditional Chinese medicine) expired?"

Zhao Wanqing asked in confusion.

Qiu Langyu was also puzzled:

"That's impossible. We checked it before, and the medicine is intact."

Just as everyone was confused, Qi Yuxuan suddenly spoke up:

"It's not that the medicine had expired; it's possible that Li Cunxu anticipated our escape and administered the antidote in advance."

The group fell silent, realizing that this possibility did indeed exist.

Li Cunxu was meticulous and would never easily give prisoners a chance to escape.

He must have been prepared and taken precautions in advance.

Faced with this dilemma, the group fell into deep thought.

Leng Feng broke the silence first: "Then what should we do? Our plans have all failed."

Qi Yuxuan calmly said:

"Since the medication is ineffective, we need to change our approach. Although Li Cunxu is intelligent, he cannot possibly anticipate all of our actions."

Zhao Wanqing nodded:

“That’s right. We can continue to observe everything here and look for any possible opportunities. Perhaps a turning point will come to us in some corner or at some moment.”

Qiu Langyu added:

"At the same time, we need to be more cautious and not reveal our intentions too easily. We must ensure that we have enough confidence in every attempt."

Qi Yuxuan, Leng Feng, Zhao Wanqing, and Qiu Langyu composed themselves and clenched their fists firmly.
