Chapter: 5983

Bruce Weston looked puzzled: "Spiritual energy? What is that?"

Ye Chen didn't answer his question but instead asked coldly, "I ask you, is there a secret passage in your office? And is Peter locked below it?"

Instantly, Bruce Weston's face turned pale as he stared at Ye Chen, muttering, "You...you're what kind of person?! How do you know about the secret passage and Peter?! "

Ye Chen smiled: "I'm here for Peter."

As he spoke, Ye Chen's spiritual energy entered his brain, commanding in an unmistakable tone: "Answer my previous question!"

Bruce Weston trembled all over, instantly viewing Ye Chen as someone who takes orders without question, and hastily said, "There is indeed a secret passage behind my office. It's an elevator shaft, and below it is a secret cell where Peter is being held."

Ye Chen asked again: "Is there anyone else besides Peter down there?"

Bruce Weston spoke honestly: "No...there's only him alone in a completely sealed room, and I give him food and water every day."

Ye Chen continued to ask, "Why does the Rockefeller family want to keep him here?"

Bruce Weston replied, "It's because he stole something from the Rockefeller family."

"What did he steal?" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and asked.

"I don't know," Bruce Weston explained. "I only know that it's extremely important to the Rockefeller family, but Peter is refusing to reveal any information, and every day someone from the Rockefeller family comes here to question him, but they still haven't gotten anything valuable out of him, so I'm temporarily taking care of him."

Ye Chen asked coldly, "Can you take me down?"

"Yes," Bruce Weston nodded without hesitation.

"If I go down, will the Rockefeller family know?" Ye Chen asked again.

"They won't," Bruce Weston said. "This is under my responsibility, and everything that happens here will be reported to them by me. They don't have direct supervision over this place."

Ye Chen relaxed his mind and ordered, "Take me down now!"

Bruce Weston respectfully acknowledged the order, then went to his office bookshelf, took out a copy of the Gospel of John, and covered it completely with his palm.

"Miraculous things happened immediately. After scanning his palm and finger prints, a faint hum sounded, followed by a sudden opening of a panel behind an empty bookshelf, revealing a set of cameras."

"Bruce Weston walked forward, eyes wide with attention fixed on the cameras, and then, one of the bookshelves slowly opened to reveal a metallic elevator door."

"After the fake bookshelf door had opened more than 45 degrees, the metallic elevator door also automatically opened, revealing a tiny elevator inside."

"At this moment, Bruce Weston politely said to Ye Chen: 'Please come in, sir.'"

Ye Chen took a step forward and entered the narrow elevator, with Bruce Weston following closely behind.

The control panel inside the elevator was extremely simple, featuring only one green button. As Bruce Weston pressed the button while saying to Ye Chen: 'When you're at the bottom, press this button to go up; when you're at the top, press it to go down; and in between, you can't stop.'

Ye Chen nodded slightly as the elevator had already begun to move downward. He looked at Bruce Weston and asked: 'How deep is it going to be down here?' JrNovels.com
