Chapter 920: Chapter 604: Secret Room (First Update)

"Who would have thought there really is a secret room?" The two leapt up from their spot in an instant and hurried toward the spot where the bookcase had moved, only to find... still a blank wall, with not a single trace on it.

"Could there be another mechanism here?" Xigua muttered under his breath. Then, the two started pressing hard against the blank wall with their hands but discovered nothing. Instinctively, they turned to look at Mu Lin, "Sister-in-law?" They were seeking help; surely the thing they saw just now wasn’t installed there to fool them.

This wall is too sturdy.

Stepping aside, Mu Lin moved forward two steps, her gaze sweeping lightly over the area before reaching out to feel the wall: it was indeed solid! Next moment, she pressed hard with the tip of her finger in the place just behind the bookshelf that was hidden from view, and the pristine wall suddenly cracked open with a seam, "It’s actually a door!" The craftsmanship was absolutely ingenious, it’s hard to believe that there are still people capable of making such mechanisms. This fake wall was flawlessly constructed; someone really spent a lot of money on this! If the switch hadn’t been found, even accidentally stumbling upon the previous mechanism would have been useless.

"This Yu Xiongman, he really is quite cautious." He was now really eager to see what was underneath; both were somewhat impatient, curious what lay beneath.

Xigua stepped forward to open the door and, looking at the long corridor below, turned back to Mu Lin, "Sister-in-law, I’ll go ahead." He would lead the way; it wouldn’t be good if there were more traps inside.

Mu Lin nodded, offering no objections.

Wu Ya suggested Mu Lin walk in the middle, while he would take the rear; the safety of the sister-in-law was most important.

In fact, deep in Ying Sun’s heart, he was well aware of one thing: if anything happened to Mu Lin, they didn’t know how their captain would react. The Boss cared too much about the sister-in-law.

The corridor was quite long, but fortunately, although lengthy, there were lights installed all along it.

"If we continue walking down, we’ll probably reach the basement," Xigua said; based on their usual experience walking down stairs, their current location should be right above the basement.

Wu Ya said, "I never would have thought that someone would place the opening to the secret room on the second floor." Not just him, generally no one would have thought of that, Secretary Yu’s brain is occasionally quite clever.

Basements are usually accessed from the first floor downwards; such complexity, such precision must have come from watching too many historical dramas.

"Arrogant as he may be, but when it comes to hiding things, he’s rather meticulous and careful," a cool voice spoke, carrying a trace of admiration.

Hearing this, Wu Ya was shocked, "Sister-in-law, you can’t possibly admire him, can you?" That couldn’t be.

"Can’t I admire him?" Mu Lin quirked her lips, chuckling lightly, "This really isn’t a thought process an ordinary person would have. If you guys could have thought of it, I would admire you too." Of course, what Mu Lin was more curious about was how the other party managed to find such skillful engineers to create this; it made her want to see if they could also produce other better, more ingenious mechanisms.

The three of them carefully made their way downwards, their pace not quick, and it took them several minutes. But when they arrived at the basement, they were astounded.

This...

Mu Lin’s eyes flashed with shock, her disbelief and surprise palpable; Wu Ya and Xigua, on the other hand, were holding their jaws to prevent them from dropping in surprise, as reattaching them after dislocation would be a hassle; they then swallowed involuntarily.

My! God!

Stepping forward two paces involuntarily, Wu Ya turned his head to Xigua, "Xigua, quickly pinch me, am I seeing some kind of ’terrible’ mirage?" He had never dreamt of getting rich. Honestly, he had never even thought about it.

"Owww~" A shriek like that of a slaughtered pig echoed as Wu Ya spun around, glaring at someone behind him who had used way too much force, "I just asked you to pinch me, not to pinch me with all the strength you would use to fight for your life!" For heaven’s sake, it hurt like hell.

"Because I’m also afraid that what I’m seeing is... a mirage," Xigua’s face showed a complicated expression, unsure how to react.

This kind of thing, this kind of sight, was something he had never imagined he would see in his lifetime. If he had a choice, he would prefer not to have seen it.

Wu Ya: "So, our eyes must be playing tricks on us." The two engaged in a bizarrely self-muttering conversation.
