Luo Chen loosened the hand that had been holding on to Xu Xu, and Xu Xu's hands were freed and returned to his lap. He was puzzled by Luo Chen's behavior. Luo Chen had shown obvious hostility just now.
Xu Chen showed a slightly surprised expression, but Luo Chen's next actions made her feel a little ashamed and angry.
Luo Chen leaned forward, with a smile on his face, and stretched out his index finger to gently lift Xu Xu's chin.
"Miss Xu Xu, since you know that Keel's underground secret room is here and you also know the password to open the secret passage, why do you still want to lure me here with you?"
Xu Chen's chin was held by Luo Chen's fingers and her head was raised slightly. Luo Chen's obscene behavior made her feel a little ashamed and angry. This shame and anger were all reflected in her eyes when she looked at Luo Chen.
But she endured not letting herself get angry, because she knew that she was no match for Luo Chen, so she could only express her protest and dissatisfaction with silence.
Seeing that Xu Chen was silent, Luo Chen continued.
"Since you don't want to say it, I will say it for you. You are confident that you can get what you want from Kiel's underground secret room, but you are not sure that you can escape safely, so you came to me.
I will take the blame for you. You just planned to knock me out and leave me here. After you succeed, you will spread the word and let Keir focus on me, and then you can escape. "
Seeing a little surprise in Xu Shu's eyes, Luo Chen smiled.
"It looks like I was right."
Xu Chen said dissatisfied.
"So what?"
Facing Xu Xu's uncooperative attitude, Luo Chen not only wasn't annoyed at all, but actually felt happier and his tone became more passionate.
"Tsk, tsk, you really have a bad temper. Haven't you figured out the situation yet? Now that you are in my hands, I can hand you over to Keir. What do you think he will do with you?"
Xu Xu was so angry at Luo Chen that his eyebrows stood up, but his momentum did not weaken at all.
"Then just hand me over to him, and I'll tell Keir your identity, and you won't be able to escape unscathed!"
Luo Chen laughed twice and finally said.
"To tell you the truth, even if Kiel comes here now, he won't be able to keep me."
Xu Chen sneered. Although he said nothing, his face was full of disdain for Luo Chen's bragging.
Luo Chen didn't mind and continued.
"But I am a very compassionate person. If you are so beautiful, I will definitely not let you fall into the tiger's mouth."
Luo Chen withdrew his hand from teasing Xu Chen, got down from the table, and led her to stand up.
"I know you are embarrassed to take the initiative, so let me, Luo Chen, be a good old man. How about we make a deal?"
Xu Xu didn't have a very good impression of Luo Chen because he had assaulted him just now, and his tone was a little dissatisfied.
"Who wants to make a deal with you?"
Luo Chen smiled.
"It's already this time, why are you so angry? Since we have the same goal, why do we still have to fight and lose both sides? Isn't it good to cooperate and win-win?"
Xu Chen looked at Luo Chen. She didn't know if Luo Chen could trust her, but she still agreed with some of what Luo Chen said.
Now her and Luo Chen's interests are indeed aligned, and it is indeed possible to talk about cooperation.
However, Luo Chen already knew that she wanted to take the blame for him, and Xu Chen was not sure whether Luo Chen would sell him after he made a profit.
Luo Chen saw the concerns in Xu Chen's heart and comforted her.
"Don't worry, I'm repaying you with kindness. If you can help me get what I want, I promise to take you out of here safely."
Xu Chen retorted.
"Why should I trust you?"
Luo Chen took a step forward, and Xu Xu stepped back with a guilty conscience, leaning on the bookcase behind her.
Luo Chen made a noise to Xu Xu on the spot and spoke slowly.
"You don't have to believe me, but do you have a choice now?"
Xu Chen stared at Luo Chen and remained silent.
Luo Chen gradually became a little upset. He didn't understand why Xu Xu was so unclear about the situation. She insisted on making things so painful and enmity-inducing and hurting both sides when it was obvious that they could be mutually beneficial.
Sighing, Luo Chen didn't intend to embarrass Xu Shu.
After all, if Keel discovers her, he will be able to teach her a lesson better than himself.
"Since you don't accept my kindness, I won't embarrass you."
After saying that, Luo Chen turned around and prepared to leave the study.
Without the password, it was naturally impossible to enter Kiel's underground secret room. If Xu Xu was unwilling to cooperate because she didn't believe in him, then Luo Chen would simply let her go. If Xu Xu would still choose to go into Kiel after he left.
If you want to get something from the underground secret room, you will definitely be discovered. When the time comes, Keir's attention will be attracted by Xu Chen, and he will look for another opportunity.
After all, we have figured it out. Kiel's underground secret room is here. It is not in vain that he has been working for so long. As long as he waits patiently, Luo Chen believes that there is still a chance.
Xu Chen looked at Luo Chen, as if he was really about to leave, and suddenly hesitated.
When Luo Chen reached out and grabbed the door handle and was about to open the door, Xu Chen called out to Luo Chen.
"Wait a moment."
Luo Chen's good mood just now was tossed by Xu Chen for a while, and now most of it has disappeared. However, when he heard Xu Chen's words to save him, he still put down his hand to open the door. If he could cooperate with Xu Chen, it would be beneficial and harmless.
, Luo Chen does not act on impulse when it comes to key matters.
Turning around, Luo Chen looked at Xu Chen who had walked to the center of the study and asked her.
"Have you changed your mind?"
Xu Chen thought about it carefully and felt that it would be better to cooperate with Luo Chen to have a greater chance of success.
At first, she wanted to sneak attack Luo Chen and then let him take the blame for her. However, after the fight just now, Xu Chen had already discovered that Luo Chen was not an easy person.
In addition, although Luo Chen's specific identity and background are not yet known, Luo Chen must have extraordinary abilities if he had the courage to sneak into Kiel's manor and steal the things that Kiel hid in the secret room.
"I can cooperate with you, but you have to promise me that you will take me out with you after the matter is over."
Xu Chen had no intention of taking action today. Although Xu Chen had obtained a lot of information from the secret investigation of Keer Manor in the past few months, she had never thought about how to get her employer in the hands of Keer.
After you get what you want, get away with it.
In addition to the DA alliance, a combat team of dozens of people sent by Kiel Manor, there is also a group of mercenaries hired by Kiel at his own expense.
Xu Chen was confident that she could overcome all the traps and enter the secret room, but she knew that as long as she touched the things inside, the alarm would be triggered immediately.
By that time, nearly a hundred people from the entire manor will be dispatched to search for his traces, plus dozens of well-trained hounds.
Xu Chen felt that she could not escape even if she had wings.
Therefore, Xu Xu came here today just to take advantage of the lively auction held in Kiel to conduct a careful investigation, but the appearance of Luo Chen disrupted her plan. (To be continued)
