    Chapter 111 The Castle on the Ind


    Outside the door was a road. William started the car and drove it out, then continued along the road.


    Before long, I saw ake. In the center of theke were several castle-like buildings that resembled


    churches. From a distance, it seemed as if I had been to the seventeenth or eighteenth century.


    The road to the castle was a tarred road built along the mountain. I stuck my head out to look at the


    ce I had juste down from, which was a cliff as high as a hundred meters. The elevator William


    just talked about was attached to the cliff wall.


    Returning to my seat, I looked at the castle in theke and asked, “Is there only one way to this


    castle?”


    William said, “Logically speaking, there should be people who havee down from the surrounding

    mountains. However, it’s very dangerous, and these mountains are steep, which is unsafe.”


    I nodded, the terrain here was unique, with steep mountains surrounding the vastke. Honestly, only


    the wealthy woulde here to spend a fortune building castles.


    However, once inside this ce, it was indeed safe. If the police really wanted to investigate


    something, they probably wouldn’t be able to find any evidence. It was basically impossible for them to


    infiltrate.


    No wonder Lucas said this ce was special, and it was difficult to operate from the police station. So


    that’s how it was.


    The car drove all the way to the edge of a bridge, where someone was waiting. As the car stopped, the


    person walked over.

    William handed over his business card, and the man respectfully went to park William’s car. William


    and I crossed the bridge and headed straight for the castle.


    The structure of the castle wasplex, with one entrance, which was a staircase.


    William seemed to have been here before. Seeing my apprehension, he turned back to look at me and


    smiled, “Don’t be afraid, there’s nothing special inside. It’s all modern architecture, no vampires, no


    bats.”


    He made meugh, and I couldn’t help but ask, “How did you know I was thinking about these things?”


    He gave a faint smile, “Books like to write it this way, and movies also like to use gloomy castles to


    create a terrifying atmosphere.”


    That was indeed the case.


    Talking to him, we entered the castle, which wasn’t as terrifying as we thought.


    Aside from its appearance, it was no different from modern buildings. The lobby on the first floor was


    bustling with noise, and at the card tables, people were happily ying with their chips.


    Probably noticing someoneing in, a middle-aged man dressed in a suit, with a big belly, came


    over. He looked at William with a full- faced smile and said, “Mr. William, what wind brought you here?


    Such a rare guest.”


    William nodded slightly, looking at the man and said, “Ethan, I heard that Henry has returned. I came to


    pay a visit. Do you know if he is here?”


    The man was taken aback for a moment, but quickly regained hisposure andughed, “What are


    you talking about, Mr. William? In

    this small ce of mine, there’s no way such a high-ranking official woulde. Don’t scare me like


    that. Besides, everyone knows that Henry left years ago. It’s impossible for him toe back!”


    Williamughed, saying, “Oh, really? Howe I saw him just a couple of days ago? My grandmother


    had a birthday party, and I saw that he sent a gift. I came here specifically to thank him. Ethan, you’re


    not unweing me, are you?”


    Upon hearing his words, Ethan was taken aback for a moment. After a pause, he looked at William and


    said, “Did Henry reallye back? Let me make a call to ask. Look at how busy I am, I can’t even


    remember things.”


    Even I, who don’t understand human nature and idents, could see that this Ethan was always


    ying dumb. This Ethan, it’s really… hard to say.


    He made a show of making a phone call. Although it was unclear whether he was really calling or just


    pretending, he was seen nodding and bowing to the person on the other end of the line. After hanging


    up, he turned to William with a smile on his face and said, “Henry is really something,ing back


    without telling me. Mr. William, you go upstairs and rest first. Henry said he’ll be right over.”


    Saying so, he extended his hand, gesturing for us to wait upstairs.


    William nodded and followed him upstairs. He led us to a tea room, bowed and poured tea for William.


    After ncing at me, he left with a forced smile.


    Seeing him leave, I looked around. The castle wasrge. If Henry really brought someone here, where


    would he hide them?


    “Stop specting. Henry is not a fool. If he wanted to mess with a young girl, he wouldn’t have left her

    I also knew that Henry wouldn’t easily let people off his radar, but love makes a mess of things.


    Besides, this ce always made me feel ufortable, it was very gloomy.
