Chapter 2234: Finding the Armory
Editor: Atlas Studios
Qiao Mei leaned against the window and sat on the thick carpet, as if she was enjoying the warm afternoon sun. What was really happening was she was using her superpower to explore the third floor.
Alan’s study was here and it took up a big space. Half of the third floor was Alan’s study. Even Qiao Mei’s study was not as big.
There were so many documents and books inside that there was no way she could go through all of them. Qiao Mei instantly felt a headache coming on. Why did she not have a speed reading ability? When she got home, she would carefully study the other jewelry to see if there was such a skillset.
She was sure that the things which were displayed openly were useless and not what Xia Zhe wanted. She started to focus on finding secret compartments, interlayers or even secret doors!
After 15 minutes, Qiao Mei indeed found a secret compartment! There was a huge safe inside, but after she checked the contents, it was just some gold and silver and nothing special. Could it be that there were other secret compartments in this room?
Qiao Mei used the plants to look around. She stared at a painting on the wall for a long time and it did not take long for her to figure it out.
There was too little money in the safe. Qiao Mei had gone to take a look at Daniel’s villa today. Many of the paintings there were masterpieces and were worth at least hundreds of thousands of dollars each. Jessica had a lot of autographed vinyl. These were all out-of-print items and people who liked them were willing to pay a high price for them.
Here, this was only a decorative painting, not even an antique painting. The other ornaments displayed outside were even less valuable. The number of gold bars in the safe was pitifully few. Daniel would be able to get more money than what was in the safe if he went around to beg for help.
The things in the safe were put there just for display. The real treasure was not here, so it must be in another part of the villa.
Qiao Mei carefully examined the structure of the villa bit by bit. In the end, she found a mini safe behind the hanging painting. If she did not examine it closely, she would not have been able to spot it. It was embedded in the wall and was especially small, only about as thick as a finger.
Qiao Mei had not paid any attention to it earlier and only thought that it was the light switch. However, when she looked at it again, she realized that it was a specially constructed box with what looked like a key inside.
It looked like the treasures were hidden in the place that needed to be opened with this key but where exactly was it?
Qiao Mei scanned the entire villa using the plants again. After confirming that there was nothing valuable in Alan’s study, she shifted her focus to the basement.
Alan’s study was on the third floor, but his bedroom was in the basement. The entire basement level was Alan’s rest area and it was even bigger than the garage.
Qiao Mei smiled resignedly. She did not know what kind of special fetish Alan had. Living in a cold basement for a long time was no different from living like a rat. Just as Qiao Mei was thinking about this question, the smile froze on her face in the next second.
Alan’s bedroom was not big and there was no secret compartment or safe inside, but there was a secret door. Through the door and at the end of a long corridor, there was a huge underground space that was even larger than the mansion on the ground. The rooms inside this space were filled with things.
One look at the things inside made her heart skip a beat. She was so frightened that she immediately stopped using her superpower. She raised her hand from the ground as if it was scalded and the connection was instantly broken.
Was there something wrong with Alan’s family? Were they not afraid that they will turn into a mushroom cloud one day and die together if they live above those things?
What she saw was not gold, silver or jewelry, but a pile of weapons of all sizes. There were even some missiles inside a few rooms.
Only then did Qiao Mei remember that Xia Zhe had said that Alan’s family made and smuggled weapons. Most of the superior weapons in the market came from Alan’s family, but even if they were very powerful, they could not live like this!
They were all standing on a pile of missiles now! If the missiles exploded, the entire mountain would be blown to pieces!
Could it be that Alan’s family did not have money to build a proper warehouse even when they were so rich? Was there something wrong with his brain that he needed to store these things under his own house? Or perhaps he was some kind of pervert!
Qiao Mei really wanted to leave this dangerous place immediately with Xia Zhe, but she had yet to find the map of the armory that Xia Zhe needed.
Wait, an armory? What she saw was an armory, was it not?
Qiao Mei’s eyes instantly lit up. She had a photographic memory. Just now, she had already memorized all the weapons in the armory and even remembered the location codes. She just needed to go and draw out an exact copy.
