Chapter 322 The Secret Of The Cliff In The Back Mountain
The wind blew and the leaves moved outside the French window.
Jaxon walked over upon hearing the words, and looked out at the woods with confusion. “Sister, what is out there?
Seeing that they were all looking outside, Joshua quickly ran over and slowly crouched down to a position level with Leila’s line of sight.
She opened her hands and placed them on the sides of her eyes in a focused state, looking outward according to her height’s perspective.
Unfortunately, nothing was seen at all.
“Leila, what did you see? Besides these trees, why can’t I see anything else? Did you see any small animals?”
Leila pointed to the spot where the figure had just been standing and softly said, “Brother, there was someone there just now.”
Is there anyone?
Jaxon also crouched down and carefully examined the tree not far away.
Hazel came in from outside and saw three children standing in a row by the French window, their eyes almost glued to the glass.
“Jaxon, Joshua, what were you and your sister watching?”
Upon hearing her mother’s voice, Leila happily turned around and exclaimed, “Mom!”
She ran and threw herself into Hazel’s arms.
Jaxon and Joshua turned around and told their mom about what Leila had just discovered.
Meru
Upon hearing the children say that there were people in the woods ahead, Hazel’s heart skipped a beat, instinctively knowing it was impossible.
That over there was the place where she stored and cultivated soil, and no one was allowed to enter without her permission.
On the other side, there was a sheer cliff, making it impossible for anyone to climb up.
She hurriedly came to the window with her daughter in her arms and patiently asked Leila, “Leila, can you point to where you saw someone for
mommy?”
“It was there, where a person wearing a black hat and mask, and dressed in all black, was.”
Leila pointed out a specific location to her earnestly.
“Okay, Mom got it. Leila is amazing.” She quickly arranged for two bodyguards to go and check if there were any unfamiliar footprints left on the ground.
Upon investigation, it was discovered that it did indeed exist over there!
Hazel decided to personally go to the woods to see the situation.
She took the hands of her two sons and earnestly admonished, “Jaxon, Joshua, you guys stay here and play with your sister, don’t go out, wait for Mom to come back, okay?”
“Okay, Mom, don’t worry, I will take good care of my younger brother and sister.”
Hazel rubbed her eldest son’s hair and said with a smile in her eyes, “Mom believes in you.”
Before leaving, she said again, “If you feel tired, go to the lounge inside and take a nap. Mom will be back as soon as possible.”
The three children exclaimed in unison, “Good!”
When Hazel arrived in the woods, she carefully examined the scene and had some soil samples taken back for further research.
All of these soils were specially transported from Nyack.
She carefully nurtured them for over two years over there, which is why the soil has the current effect.
Originally, there was supposed to be a process of contact and fusion between these soil and land. Now she is worried that someone is doing something behind her back, damaging the substances contained in these cultivated soils.
“Prof. Robinson, there was no damage to the fence.”
Because she needed to use this forest, she had the fence reinforced around it in the early stages of construction. On one hand, it could prevent

small animals from entering, and on the other hand, it could deter curious individuals from investigating.
With a cliff behind, even if it would be easy to fly up, Hazel did not install surveillance around this area.
I didn’t expect that the herbs had not been planted yet.
There were already footprints that shouldn’t have existed, which was quite frightening.

Hazel lowered her gaze, squatting on the ground, her fingertips gently stroking the cultivation soil. She coldly ordered, “Have someone come and install surveillance cameras, install them in all directions.”
She walked to the spot where the footprints had appeared.
Shoes in size 42 and 43, judging by the imprints and level of indentation, are meant for people who are at least 1.8 meters tall and weigh…
Hazel suddenly looked up and gazed towards the direction of her office, which was not close but she could see the scene inside clearly.
The cold eyes looked at the three children playing with a toy train inside, and fell into some kind of speculation and contemplation.
Although it is daytime now, there was a chill on her body as

Hazel directly prompted people to conduct a carpet–like search around her, as she did not believe that there was no way or place to find this “person” appearing.
She also brought a group of people and walked towards another less crowded spot.
There were many fallen leaves behind, covering the ground with a thick layer. Even the traces left by someone walking over them were not heavy.
Gradually, the searchers returned.

all been searched and there are no traces of anyone breaking in, there is only one impossible place left.
The cliff behind the mountain!
Johnson had just come back from outside and brought hot egg tarts and snacks for the three children.
As soon as they heard the commotion over here, they immediately rushed over with people.
He walked briskly to Hazel’s side and together they looked at the mist–shrouded cliff in front of them. He glanced sideways at the seriousness on her face.
Johnson raised an eyebrow and said, somewhat surprised, “Do
you suspect that

from here?”
“There were no traces elsewhere, so only this place remained.”
She took a half step forward and looked at the cliff below, which was shrouded in mountain mist. She kicked a small stone down, but couldn’t hear the sound of it hitting the ground.
The bodyguard had already brought the drone over.
The next second, she nodded.
Several drones flew immediately towards the ground.
Several minutes passed.
The footage captured by the drone showed steep cliff remnants, but there were no traces of rock climbing.
Hazel held the tablet handed over by the bodyguard, lowered her gaze and carefully watched every frame that appeared on the split screen, not wanting to miss any details.
As she passed by a hanging vine, she suddenly spoke, “Machine number 8, stop for a moment!”
“Fly up ten centimeters.”
“Yes, stop, advance and zoom in on the image in front, that’s it!”
Johnson also noticed the tangled vines where the 8th drone was frozen, seemingly chaotic and entwined together, but clearly different from the surrounding vines.

After magnifying the details of the vine, Hazel pointed to the black shadow of the vine on the edge and said, “Look, the stones here are obviously smoother than the surrounding ones, and if you look closely, there are even palm prints.”
She exuded a fierce aura.
“If I didn’t see it wrong, this stone is the switch, and there must be a passage behind it leading to somewhere else.”

Hazel retrieved the original blueprints of Redwood Resort from the past and called Audrey to analyze the planning situation of the area behind the mountain.
“It was indeed not right, look over here.”
Upon hearing this, Hazel and Johnson approached together, staring at the spot Audrey had circled.
It happened to be the location of the cliff behind the mountain.
According to my personal habit, if there was no specific plan for this area, such a large space would not have been intentionally left vacant on the blueprint.”
“I would rather prefer another outcome, which is that there was originally some planned content here, but it couldn’t be disclosed, so that’s why such a large area was left vacant here.”
“Alternatively,…”
Audrey suddenly felt her heart contract for a moment, as it raced irregularly with excitement.
