They had just talked about leaving, but out of caution, Qiao Mei scanned the entire area again and found a secret door in this doorway. The things she saw behind the secret door made her drool.
“What do you think that is?” Qiao Mei said as she pointed at the corner of the wall.
This door was actually not very well hidden. It was just painted in the same color as the wall. If one looked closely, one would be able to see it easily.
“We don’t have time today. Let’s look at it the next time,” Xia Zhe said as he grabbed hold of Qiao Mei.
It would take time to open the door and it should not be too different from what they saw outside, right? What else could there be in a weapon designer’s workshop? As if he could also be involved in the sale of human organs or something?
“Let’s take a look. Maybe the door isn’t locked?” Qiao Mei said as she walked to the door and pushed it open suddenly.
It was a fact that the metal door was not locked. Even if it was locked, Qiao Mei would still have pried it open at all costs today! When the door opened, no matter how strong Xia Zhe’s willpower was, he was also stunned for a few seconds. This space was also very big, probably an area of about 300 to 400 square meters and the lights were not on. The light from outside shone through the gap in the door and the things inside immediately sparkled and dazzled in front of his eyes.
Xia Zhe thought he was looking at the kind of pirate treasures written about in fairy tales, or perhaps those found in the lair of a dragon. Gold, silver, jewelry and all kinds of containers were piled up messily on the floor, stacking up into a big pile. There were also doorways on both sides of this room and it looked like there were more things inside.
Xia Zhe immediately turned around to look in Qiao Mei’s direction. As expected, he saw Qiao Mei leaning against the door, her eyes shining brighter than gold and she was almost drooling.
Xia Zhe smiled dotingly. He knew that this little money-grubber definitely would not be able to control herself. He walked over and pried Qiao Mei off the door, saying, “Let’s go. There’s really no time. Don’t worry, I’ll help you transport all these things back.”
Only then did Qiao Mei’s eyes truly light up. “You’ll help me transport them all? Are you going to give all these to me? Don’t you need to hand over these things to the military?”
Xia Zhe coughed once and said, “Everything that I get here, except for the mission items, is mine. I have the right to distribute my things however I want. What’s mine is yours.”
“Ooh! Hubby, I love you! I love you so much!” Qiao Mei immediately pounced on him and kissed him on the cheek a few times! Xia Zhe’s face was covered in saliva as the two of them retraced their steps and quietly returned to Qiao Mei’s room.
“The main important thing now is to put the key back in its original spot,” Xia Zhe said sternly.
Since they had already planned to carry out the plan underground, the key was useless to them. They had to put it back and restore the wall to its original state. Otherwise, if Alan found out that it had been touched, they would not get a chance to do anything. It would take time to dig a tunnel, so Xia Zhe had to think of a way to continue staying at Alan’s house.
“This task is a little difficult for me. I don’t know how to do it,” Qiao Mei said helplessly.
This was not a lie. She only knew how to break through walls and build them, but restoring the wall around the small safe was a delicate and technical job. She really did not know how to do it. Cement was an inanimate object and it was not as if she could return it to its original state by sprinkling it with ginseng juice.
“I know how to do it, but I need the bodyguards in my room to stay asleep for another two hours. I’ve used up all the medicine I brought. Do you still have any left?” Xia Zhe asked.
This was such a small matter for her. Even if she did not have any, she could make it on the spot! Qiao Mei immediately took out a small medicine bottle from her bag and handed it to him. Such sedatives were really a must-have item when she traveled around. She always carried some with her in case she encountered any bad situations.
“Alright, leave the rest to me.” After saying that, Xia Zhe did not turn to leave immediately. Instead, he looked a little hesitant.
“What’s wrong?” Qiao Mei asked immediately.
The most important thing now was to restore the wall to its original state, but he was worried once he thought about the amount of time needed to remove the things in the basement. It would take a long time to dig the tunnel, move them out and arrange for them to be transported. He could not let Alan and his family discover anything during this period of time, otherwise it was very likely that he would not be able to do anything.
What could he do so that they would not find out? He had to find something else for them to do so that they would not be in the mood to go to the basement in the near future.
Qiao Mei had the same thought as Xia Zhe. She blinked and asked, “So what do you want to do?”
Xia Zhe looked at Qiao Mei and said, “Leave immediately after you finish watching the show tomorrow. Return to our home country immediately with the children and ask Bella to erase all traces of your recent movements in Country M.”
Qiao Mei immediately said nervously, “What are you going to do? Is it something dangerous? Will they find out about you?”
“It’s not dangerous,” Xia Zhe said as he pretended to look at Qiao Mei calmly.
In fact, there was nothing more dangerous than the plan he had in his mind. After saying that, Xia Zhe hugged Qiao Mei tightly and kissed her intensely. After this kiss, maybe… maybe it would be difficult for them to meet again.
A few seconds later, Xia Zhe let go of Qiao Mei reluctantly and said, “Be good and listen to me this time. Leave immediately and return to our home country to wait for me. I’ll definitely make my way home.”
