Chapter 2235: Search for the Safe
Editor: Atlas Studios
Other than looking for the exact location and layout of the armory, Xia Zhe definitely also wanted to find the research and development blueprints for these weapons. However, Alan definitely would not keep these things in the open. There was not much time left and it would be too troublesome to find them, but she could hide a few weapons and take them out of Alan’s house.
This was a matter of great importance and she did not dare to make a decision on her own in case she disrupted Xia Zhe’s plan. She had to find Xia Zhe and discuss it with him before taking action.
During mealtime, Qiao Mei sat very straight and ate quietly. She did not even look at the people around her or talk to them.
Daniel’s jealous expression softened a lot and he looked at Xia Zhe with a friendlier gaze. So long as Xia Zhe did not cause disturbance to Qiao Mei’s life and did not betray Jessica, he could allow Xia Zhe to have his freedom. Of course, this was only limited to the period before he found that inheritance.
Late at night, the entire mansion fell silent.
Other than a few bodyguards who stood guard outside and the bodyguards in Xia Zhe’s room, the rest had gone back to rest. They made themselves comfortable in different parts of the room to stop him from getting out.
Of course, these precautions they wook were useless. Xia Zhe quietly arrived in front of Qiao Mei’s door. The next second, the door opened and he entered in a flash.
Xia Zhe knew very well that no matter how quietly he moved, he could not hide it from Qiao Mei, who had exceptionally sharp hearing. There was no sound that could be hidden from her ears.
“I only have one hour,” Xia Zhe hugged Qiao Mei and whispered into her ear.
“In order to prevent me from escaping, they will contact each other once an hour on the walkie-talkie. Tell me your plan quickly,” Xia Zhe said.
The familiar warm breath on her ear made her shiver slightly. Her ears were the most sensitive parts of her body, so Xia Zhe must be doing this on purpose! However, Qiao Mei did not have the time to argue with him now. She would settle the score with him after they left this place!
“I… I can’t explain it to you clearly! Come with me!” After saying that, Qiao Mei pulled Xia Zhe to the window.
Qiao Mei could not say that she had already discovered something. Everyone knew her whereabouts today and Xia Zhe also would not believe what she said.
“Go to the room next to the study,” Qiao Mei said as she pointed outside.
If they went out of the window and headed to the room next to the study, they could avoid the surveillance cameras. Although Xia Zhe did not know why she was doing this, he would definitely do as she said.
Xia Zhe rolled over and climbed out of the window. A few seconds later, he opened the window of the room and climbed in. After another few seconds, Qiao Mei also climbed into the room.
If Qiao Mei did not come over, there was no one to break through the wall and get the key. She already knew that it was the key to open the secret door in Alan’s bedroom.
“Be careful! What if you fall down from this height!” Xia Zhe said as he looked at Qiao Mei worriedly.
Qiao Mei did not have time to comfort Xia Zhe. She threw herself into his arms and whispered into his ear, “Let’s go and search the wall that is shared with the study. There are usually secret compartments in such walls.”
The two of them knocked around on the wall. If there was a secret compartment, the sound would be different. Of course, if the wall was thicker, one would not be able to tell the difference. However, it also depended on how one knocked and who was the one knocking.
With Qiao Mei’s strength and hearing, no one would be surprised if she could find it. However, the truth was that Qiao Mei actually did not have such an ability… she was only cheating.
Xia Zhe was really a professional. He had gone through special recon training. Coupled with the fact that Qiao Mei had often fed him ginseng over the years, his strength and hearing were extraordinary.
Qiao Mei slowly maneuvered him in the direction of the safe. She had already checked everywhere else, except for that one spot. When Xia Zhe reached the spot, he frowned and then knocked carefully again and his eyes lit up.
“I found it. Here,” he whispered.
Qiao Mei also came over to give it a try and nodded pretentiously. Then, she took out a dagger from her bag. The dagger reflected a cold light in the dark night. It was custom-made at a high price and could cut through iron as easily as it was mud! If they were back in their home country, it would definitely be treated as a controlled weapon. However, since guns were not even controlled here, it was easier to buy such weapons.
Xia Zhe had specially made this dagger for her after she arrived in Country M. From then on, she would bring it with her wherever she went. Of course, she would bring it with her when she came to such a dangerous place like Alan’s house. Fortunately, she was not searched before entering, otherwise this knife would have exposed their identities.
Qiao Mei held the dagger and used her superpower to quietly dig a hole in the wall, revealing the safe inside. Its location was planned meticulously. A small safe and a big safe were located side by side.
