The sudden ringing sound lingered over the villa, startling the two of them.
Xia Ning stood up subconsciously, looked around, and was very surprised: "What is this?"
"Emergency assembly bell!" Yan Qi looked pale.
The Su family's villa is too big, so they installed emergency call bells, one in her room and one in Lu Huaichen's room. My grandfather and sister don't live here, but in a detached house at the back, so they didn't install them.
Reminiscing that Lu Huaichen was in her room before, he must have rang the bell.
Why did you ring the bell? Did you find something?
Yan Qi could not control his trembling.
Hearing Yan Qi's answer, Xia Ning frowned subconsciously, how could Yan Qi know?
She squinted her eyes and turned to Yan Qi, only to see that her face was pale and her body was shaking slightly.
In an instant, he gave up his doubts and turned into disgust. He really had never seen the world, and he was so frightened by the sound of a ringtone.
Xia Ning collected her thoughts and didn't bother to ask. Cheng Yanqi must have read it in which book. This girl likes to read some random books, like a small encyclopedia.
When she was a child, she didn't read a few of the books in her study, but Cheng Yanqi read almost all of them.
Xia Ning went downstairs to watch the excitement, while Yan Qi stayed upstairs stiffly and began to lower his head to check himself. What on earth was wrong?
When I put my hands into my pockets, I immediately realized something was wrong.
The spare key is lost!
Oops, it must have fallen when it fell to the ground.
There are three spare keys for the fingerprint lock in Yan Qi's room. One is in the hands of Lu Huaichen, one is in the hands of the housekeeper Zhou Bernard, and the other one was given to the sixth senior sister Le Tao by her.
Later, after she sobered up, Le Tao gave her the key.
Therefore, when she came here this time, Yan Qi brought this key with her, thinking that if Lu Huaichen changed his fingerprints, she would be able to get in.
Unexpectedly, what was originally a well-prepared plan now turned out to be a flaw.
What to do? What to do?
Yan Qi covered her forehead. Her only advantage now was that Lu Huaichen didn't know that the last key was in Le Tuo's hands.
But there was an extra key in the room for no reason, and Lu Huaichen would definitely track it down.
He is a smart, smart, and almost demon-like person, and he will definitely find out who she is based on clues.
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. Yan Qi was so anxious that he even wanted to run away immediately.
Fortunately, I still had my senses, so I suppressed my desire to escape.
Once she escapes, Lu Huaichen will definitely be the first to suspect her. She can't escape from Nancheng alone, not even the Su family.
For the current plan, we can only refuse to admit it and take it one step at a time.
Lu Huaichen was considered a gentleman and could not pull off her veil in public. Even if it was pulled off, her face would still be disguised.
Lu Huaichen was not familiar with her at all. He probably felt that there was something imaginary in his eyebrows, but he was not sure that it was her.
——
After Lu Huaichen pressed the assembly bell, he immediately regretted it.
He shouldn't be so impatient, the more he needs to be calm at this time.
If Yan Qi really comes back, he will definitely alert others with his appearance.
Therefore, when Uncle Zhou came up, Lu Huaichen did not tell the truth. He only said that he accidentally touched the assembly bell and asked everyone not to panic.
It turned out to be unintentional!
Uncle Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and whispered: "Then I'll go down and let everyone disperse."
"Wait a minute." Lu Huaichen called him, "There is something that Uncle Zhou needs to do secretly. Don't tell others."
Uncle Zhou was startled, then said: "Sir, please give me orders."
"You call out all the surveillance for today. In the other two days, no one is allowed to leave the Su family. But you can't be forceful and find ways to keep people here."
Uncle Zhou received the order and left.
Yan Qi went downstairs at this time, met Uncle Zhou, and hurried forward: "Uncle Zhou, I heard the bell ringing, what happened?"
Uncle Zhou smiled and said: "I surprised you, it's okay, sir, I accidentally touched the bell, don't worry."
"Oh." Yan Qi nodded, seemingly relaxed, but his heart was still pounding and he was still distracted.
Uncle Zhou looked at her worriedly: "Is Miss Tao Li uncomfortable? Why not go back to the room and rest for a while."
"Yeah." Yan Qi nodded, but stood still.
Uncle Zhou saw that she had something to say, so he asked softly: "If Miss Tao Li has any instructions, just tell her. You're welcome."
"That's it." Yan Qi tried his best to relax himself and said in a pleasant tone, "I finally came to Nancheng. I want to go out for fun today or tomorrow. Can you arrange it conveniently?"
go out?
Uncle Zhou was shocked, but calmly nodded and agreed: "Okay, if Miss Tao Li wants to go out, tell me in advance and I will arrange for a driver to take you off and a tour guide to accompany you."
"Thank you, Uncle Zhou." Yan Qi went downstairs happily.
When he returned to his room, the smile on his face immediately faded.
Listening to Uncle Zhou's words, Lu Huaichen seemed to have no intention of stopping people from leaving the Su family.
Could it be that he really hit the assembly bell accidentally?
It's a pity that she can't see through Uncle Zhou's expression, and she doesn't know if he is perfunctory with her?
Uncle Zhou has been staying in the Su family for decades. He is a professional housekeeper. He studied abroad when he was young. Later, he accompanied his grandfather to meet countless important people in the Su family.
The Qi-nurturing Kungfu is better than hers.
If the old man doesn't want to, no one can guess what he is thinking.
Yan Qi was anxious in the room, but didn't know what to do.
Lu Huaichen checked all the surveillance cameras in all villas.
There is no surveillance on the third floor, so you can only watch the surveillance on the second floor and the rooftop terrace.
On this day, a total of twelve people went to the third floor. Among these 12 people, excluding Uncle Zhou and some familiar servants, the remaining four were more suspicious.
Two new maids, as well as Xia Ning and Tao Li who just came here today.
Especially Tao Li, whose whole body was wrapped tightly, as if he was hiding himself.
Tao Li went up to the third floor not long after arriving at Su's house at noon, stayed for a while, and then went to the rooftop terrace.
After looking around, I found a corner with my back to the surveillance camera and stayed still.
It looks like he's been on the terrace the whole time.
Lu Huaichen looked at other people's surveillance cameras again. The route was very coherent and he didn't stay on the third floor for long.
Only this Tao Li went up and down the stairs several times, which seemed to give people the impression that she was wandering around and looking around curiously.
But Lu Huaichen was very keen. He could see at a glance that Tao Li's seemingly random route was full of planning.
Only going up and downstairs will be photographed by surveillance cameras. When on the rooftop terrace, I almost always hide from surveillance cameras.
He called Uncle Zhou and asked, "Uncle Zhou, what do you think of Tao Li's character?"
"You mean Miss Tao Li?" Uncle Zhou introduced, "Ms. Tao Li is Miss Xia Ning's assistant. I heard she is very talented in medicine, but she has acne and scars on her face and doesn't want to see anyone."
"Oh?" Lu Huaichen continued: "What do you think of her as a person?"
"She's polite and a good girl."
"Are you familiar?"
"This..." Uncle Zhou raised his eyes, wondering why Lu Huaichen asked this.
Lu Huaichen took out the key, looked at the sunshine, and suddenly said: "If you are familiar with it, you will know when you meet. Let's go."
