Capítulo 285: Chapter 288 A Shocking Secret

Hua Mei's cry had attracted the attention of the soldiers. They rushed to the backyard to check, but could not find anything. They searched again just to make sure, then returned to the front of the building.

All the soldiers were in the front courtyard, surrounding the building. However, no one went in because the building was dark and eerie. Since the soldiers were unsure about the situation, no one dared to rush in. A man quickly reported to the person in charge.

"General, what now?"

"Light the torches at once and go in!"

"Yes, general."

The soldiers quickly lit some torches and rushed into the building. Soon, a soldier exclaimed, "General, there's a dead person here."

Everyone was shocked when they heard that.

Outside the courtyard, Liu Shi had arrived with a bunch of people. When she heard the soldier's words, her face immediately became pale. Her legs almost gave out and she was barely able to remain standing.
