"What's wrong? Why don't you go in and take a look?"
Xu Chen saw that Luo Chen was hesitant and asked him aloud.
Luo Chen looked around. There was no sign of anyone else, and there were no monitors. He was not going to miss such a God-given opportunity.
Luo Chen reached out and pulled the door handle, and found that the wooden door was locked.
Xu Chen looked at the locked wooden door, seemingly helpless, and asked Luo Chen.
"It's locked, what should I do?"
Luo Chen glanced at Xu Chen thoughtfully, and Xu Chen said in confusion.
"What do you think I'm doing? I don't know how to open a lock."
Luo Chen smiled and took off the pin from his clothes. Since the wooden door had an old-fashioned lock, it could be opened using this simple method.
Luo Chen bent the pin, then put it into the keyhole and fiddled with it. After a while, a slight click came from the keyhole.
Xu Chen asked happily.
"Opened?"
Luo Chen hummed, held the door handle, and pushed the wooden door open. After making sure there was no problem in the room, he waved to Xu Chen, and the two quietly entered the study and locked the door.
Keele's study is very large and luxuriously decorated, making it look dazzling.
If there is really a secret passage in this study that leads to Kiel's underground secret room, then there must be a corresponding mechanism.
Luo Chen asked Xu Chen and himself to search separately to see if they could find the mechanism and open the secret passage.
Xu Chen said hello, then went to the wall on one side of the study room and started looking for it on the bookcase against the wall.
Luo Chen looked at Xu Chen's back with a meaningful smile on his lips.
A few minutes later, Luo Chen was still looking for something similar to a mechanism when he suddenly heard Xu Xu's voice.
"Luo Chen, come here."
Luo Chen curiously walked over to Xu Xu and saw a row of books on the bookshelf that Xu Xu had taken down. There was a button on the exposed wall.
"This should be the mechanism."
"Well, it should be."
After Xu Chen finished speaking, she saw Luo Chen reaching out to press the button. She was about to stop him, but she was a step too late. Luo Chen had already pressed the button.
"What are you doing?"
Xu Chen was anxious. She was not sure whether this button was a mechanism that opened the secret passage. She was a little worried that it was a fishing trap by Keir.
Luo Chen said nonchalantly.
"Don't worry, it's not a trap."
Xu Xu didn't know why Luo Chen was so sure that the button was not a trap, when he heard the sound of gears turning, and then the bookcase started from the middle and moved a distance to the left and right.
There are obvious human traces on the exposed wall. It can be seen that it is a stone door. Next to the button, a password disk also appears at this moment.
Luo Chen stood in front of the password disk.
There are nine numeric buttons on the password pad, and the display above shows that a six-digit password needs to be entered.
Luo Chen had no clue about the password, so he turned around and asked Xu Xu.
"Do you know the password?"
Xu Chen shook his head and said he didn't know.
Luo Chen looked at the cipher disk and studied it intently.
Xu Chen stood behind Luo Chen, looked at his back, and asked tentatively.
"Are you guessing the password?"
Luo Chen said absently.
"Now that it's come to this, I must try it."
As if aware of Luo Chen's distraction, Xu Chen quietly moved closer to Luo Chen and slowly raised his hand.
Seeing that Luo Chen was still unaware, Xu Xu quickly slashed at Luo Chen's neck.
Without looking back, Luo Chen reached out his right hand to his left shoulder and grabbed the hand that Xu Xu used to sneak attack on him.
After restraining Xu Xu, Luo Chen turned around, with an expected smile on his face.
"Miss Xu Chen? You finally couldn't bear it anymore and are you going to attack me?"
A trace of panic clearly flashed across Xu Chen's eyes, but it disappeared immediately, revealing an innocent expression.
"Luo Chen, what are you doing? There is a bug behind you. I want to help you get rid of it."
"Oh? Really?"
Luo Chen's eyes became sharp, and he grabbed Xu Xu's other hand. Without giving her a chance to resist, he pulled her to the boss's chair behind the desk and pushed her to sit down.
"Luo Chen, what's wrong with you? You're like this all of a sudden?"
"Miss Xu Chen, there is no need to keep pretending."
Luo Chen sat on the desk with his legs crossed, one hand clasping Xu Chen's wrists tightly, the other hand across his legs, and he said with interest.
"Xu Sheng has no sister at all. He is an only child."
After hearing Luo Chen's words, Xu Xu's eyes suddenly darkened, and her tone finally returned to its original tone, cold and cold, no longer as soft and feminine as before.
"You already knew this?"
Luo Chen nodded.
"Since I used Xu Sheng's identity, I must know his situation. So from the beginning, I knew you had ulterior motives for approaching me. But I was curious about what you wanted to do, so I pretended not to know."
As he said that, Luo Chen glanced at Kiel's study, and finally his eyes fell on the stone door locked by a combination lock. He smiled and looked back at Xu Chen.
"It seems that you know a lot about this treasure house of Kiel. Who are you? What do you want to do?!"
Xu Chen frowned slightly, her eyes full of dissatisfaction, but her delicate hands were tightly grasped by Luo Chen, and she could not break free at all.
Luo Chen was not in a hurry, tilting his head and waiting for Xu Chen to give a reply, but he always remained wary of Xu Chen.
Luo Chen felt that Xu Xu was alone and had no companions here.
For a woman to dare to attack Kilna's treasure house alone, either she is out of her mind or she has extraordinary abilities.
Because he was keeping an eye on Xu Xu, Luo Chen immediately noticed when Xu Xu raised her leg and wanted to kick her elbow, and used his free hand to catch her foot in mid-air.
.
Xu Xu's hands were firmly held by Luo Chen, and one foot was hanging in the air at the moment. Her whole look was very funny. She tried to break free, but Luo Chen's strength was too great. Her little strength
Just like scratching an itch, it did not disturb Luo Chen at all.
Luo Chen smiled even more happily. He rarely faced a strong woman provoking him, and this Xu Shu was one of the few.
Therefore, Luo Chen was a little more patient with her, and felt a little like torturing and toying with her prey.
"Miss Xu Xu, don't waste your efforts. You are no match for me. You should answer my questions honestly."
Luo Chen pressed his hand down and put Xu Chen's foot down.
Xu Chen was so angry that her chest heaved violently, but she also gained some self-awareness and no longer acted rashly. Although she was angry, she knew that she had to follow Luo Chen's wishes at this moment.
"I was entrusted by someone to come to Kiel's treasure house to get something."
Luo Chen smiled.
"Take something? Steal it, right?"
Xu Chen curled his lips and said disdainfully.
"Isn't it the same for you?"
There was something in the tone that made someone laugh at fifty steps.
Luo Chen changed his posture and crossed his legs again.
"Then you should know the password to open the stone door, right?"
Xu Chen stared at Luo Chen for a long time, and finally nodded. (To be continued)
