Chapter 1941: Search for the List
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Yang family had an important list in their hands. It contained the names of all their accomplices in Country M. If Xia Zhe could find that list, they would be able to completely eliminate all the evil forces in Country M.
“You’re the best at finding things. Help me look out for anything strange, like a secret compartment in the room or a safe embedded in the wall,” Xia Zhe said.
Xia Zhe knew that Qiao Mei had her own special method of hiding things, so he was sure that she would be able to discover any hidden secret room. He could not put his finger on the kind of ability she had. He was just very sure that she could definitely find whatever Yang Jiao had hidden away.
“Leave it to me!” Qiao Mei said happily.
Xia Zhe covered Qiao Mei’s eyes as they slowly made their way upstairs. The two of them arrived at the third floor. This was where Yang Jiao slept and worked, and it was also a place that the bodyguards were not allowed to get close to. Every room was booby-trapped and filled with danger. Xia Zhe felt that the name list must be kept somewhere here.
“It’s better if you don’t go in with me. If there’s any booby trap, you might get hurt,” Xia Zhe said worriedly.
“Can I watch you from the door?” Qiao Mei asked.
“Sure, you can stand outside and tell me where to look and I’ll search inside,” Xia Zhe said with a smile.
Qiao Mei pressed her hand against the wall and she instantly knew the structure of the entire house like the back of her hand. As Xia Zhe had guessed, there were many secret compartments in this room. “There might be something behind the painting on the left.”
“Take a look under the flower pot on the right!’
“That spot under your feet is booby-trapped. Don’t step on it!”
“Try twisting that statue.”
Xia Zhe followed Qiao Mei’s instructions and retrieved the things inside the secret compartment one by one. However, no matter how he searched, he could only find some money and valuables. All these were not what Xia Zhe was looking for.
“These are all such wondrous treasures! Oh my goodness! I’ve never seen a diamond the size of a fist!” Qiao Mei said excitedly as she held up the huge diamond. Something like this would even be accepted by an auction house!
“If you like it, you can take it with you,” Xia Zhe said dotingly.
“Really? Can we really take these things?” Qiao Mei asked.
“Of course. When we leave later, we have to burn this place down completely.
We can’t let anyone find those corpses. Also, we have to leave before dawn. You can take whatever you like with you,” Xia Zhe said.
“Alright! I understand!” Qiao Mei said happily as she held up the big diamond.
There was still one last room which they had not searched, Yang Jiao’s bedroom.
The room door was extremely heavy. Xia Zhe tried pushing it for a long time but it did not budge at all. Qiao Mei also tried pushing it to no avail. Could it be that there was a special mechanism inside this door?
“Have you been here before?” Qiao Mei asked.
“No, I haven’t. This is also my first time here,” Xia Zhe said with a troubled expression.
Qiao Mei reached out and touched the door handle. She could see the structure inside clearly. This was a biometric fingerprint lock and it could only be opened with Yang Jiao’s fingerprints. However, Yang Jiao had already left with Jiang Ting, so how could they open it?
If Qiao Mei had encountered this biometric fingerprint lock in her other life, she would definitely choose to give up. However, in this era, the biometric fingerprint lock had just been invented and there were still many loopholes that had not been fixed. As long as they cut off the electricity in the entire Yang family villa, they could use the spare key to open this door!
“Go to the main switchboard and turn off the power supply to the house!” (Liao Mei said immediately.
“Are you sure you are alright here alone?” Xia Zhe said worriedly.
“l have no problem with that! Go now! I’ll call out to you once I open it!” Qiao Mei said excitedly.
Xia Zhe turned off the power supply to the entire Yang family’s villa as instructed and the entire house fell into darkness. Qiao Mei scattered some vine seeds on the floor and then used the vines to poke into the keyhole carefully. Not long after, there was a “click” sound and the heavy door opened.
“It’s open! It’s open!” Qiao Mei shouted excitedly.
When Xia Zhe heard Qiao Mei t s voice, he turned on the switchboard again. He could not wait to return to Qiao Mei’s side. He was worried that in the darkness, she might get hurt by any booby trap set up by Yang Jiao,
Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe pushed open the door together. The moment the door opened, both of them had to close their eyes tightly. The things inside were really too dazzling..
