Snowflakes filled the sky and the wind was freezing.
Outside the large iron gate in the front yard of the Li family's mansion, a silver Chevrolet sedan slowly drove into the courtyard.
Knowing that someone was coming, the old housekeeper waited in front of the big house early. Although the cold wind kept blowing his body like a knife, he still stood in front of the door with his head held high, looking up into the distance unmoved.
The guests come slowly.
After a while, two figures walked quickly towards the door of the house from the direction of the garage.
Snowflakes kept flying down in the cold wind, rustling and flying all over the sky. Just this small short circuit, the two people's bodies were covered with a white layer of snow. It can be imagined that the amount of snow at this time was even
strong.
When the two came to the door, the housekeeper, who had been watching them with slightly squinted eyes, immediately moved to greet them and said urgently: "Young Master Cousin, you are finally here. Come in quickly to keep warm. Why do you insist?"
If you come here in such heavy snow, what should you do if your body is frozen?"
The old housekeeper looked at the two people coming towards the wind with concern, and expressed condolences to the young man walking in the front.
The visitors were none other than Li Yi, and Wei Gao, who was wearing a black coat.
"It's okay. I always feel uneasy if some things are not dealt with in time. This little snow is nothing." Li Yi said with a smile.
The two of them walked under the eaves, shook off the snow on their bodies, and shook their hair, and then they finished dealing with all the snow on their bodies.
"Who is this?" The old housekeeper noticed a stranger and couldn't help but asked curiously.
Suddenly being watched closely by a person who had lived for half his life and looked like an old goblin, Wei Gao seemed a little nervous. After all, he was here to do bad things, and a guilty conscience was inevitable. But fortunately, his face didn't show too much.
of negative emotions.
After all, he is also a person who has gone through great storms. If he can't even withstand this small test, then he is not qualified to take on this task.
In order to prevent the old housekeeper from paying attention to Wei Gao for a long time and exposing any flaws, Li Yi quickly smoothed things over and said with a natural smile: "He is my new bodyguard. I was afraid of danger on the road, so I asked him to drive with me.
Coming over."
"Oh. That's it." The old housekeeper nodded in relief. "Come on, let's go into the house first."
He hurriedly extended his hand to invite. Staying at the door in such a cold night would definitely make you freeze. This was not a fun thing.
Li Yi smiled silently, and then walked toward the house with Wei Gao.
After entering the big house, a warm current came to the face, making the whole body warm and comfortable. The heating in the house was quite sufficient, and it was not as cold as outside.
"Young Master, the eldest young master is not at home now, why did you come here in the heavy snow?" As he walked towards the hall, the old housekeeper couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Actually, it's not a big deal." Li Yi said with a smile. "I have become fond of reading recently. I saw a very interesting book in my cousin's study last time. I originally planned to borrow it from him, but unfortunately at that time
I was in such a hurry that I forgot about it. I suddenly remembered it when I was meditating today, so I came to disturb you."
"Originally, I planned to look for this book elsewhere, but I found out that it was an only copy. At that time, I knew that it must be a rare and good book. I immediately felt impatient to understand the contents of the book.
Impulse. You also know how uncomfortable that eagerness is when a person is eager to seek knowledge..."
Originally, he didn't want to explain too much, but after all, this was not his home, and he was afraid that the old housekeeper would be suspicious, so he could only patiently explain his purpose.
"That's it." The old housekeeper nodded clearly and said, "Master Biao is now able to study hard. Many people feel happy. This is a good thing!"
After a pause, he waved his hand and invited: "Please come with me, I will call you to the study."
"Thank you, thank you, old housekeeper."
The old housekeeper led the way, Li Yi quietly glanced at Wei Gao, and then walked upstairs together.
After a while, the three of them arrived in front of the study door on the second floor.
The old housekeeper took out the key and opened the door and turned on the light. Then he turned to Li Yi and said, "Master Ciao, please come inside. I won't disturb your peace. You read slowly and tell other servants if you have anything to do."
Just inform me."
"Okay, sorry to trouble you." Li Yi nodded slightly and smiled.
After the old housekeeper left, the two of them walked leisurely into the house.
After closing the door gently, Li Yi's face instantly became tense. He leaned behind the door and pressed his chest, breathing heavily. His heart beat wildly involuntarily and he couldn't stop it - it was so exciting.
Already.
"You seem to be very nervous." Wei Gao looked at Li Yi calmly and said.
At this time, after leaving the sight of the old housekeeper, he became calmer. As long as there are no strangers around, he will enter a wonderful state of calmness, which was cultivated during his previous work.
"Nonsense! Go and do your job." Li Yi looked unhappy, pointed to an oil painting on the wall, and said: "The thing is behind that painting, start quickly to avoid a long night and a lot of dreams, I'm here to help you look out.
"
Wei Gao didn't speak, just shrugged lightly, and then walked towards the painting designated by Li Yi.
When he came to the wall, he gently moved the picture frame to the right to reveal a corner, and sure enough he found a safe in the wall. Seeing the thing he had dreamed of, he couldn't help but smile.
After pausing for a moment, he immediately carefully took the oil painting off the wall and placed it gently on the corner, and then began to observe the new safe with full attention.
After observing for a while, Wei Gao showed a confident smile on his face, but in order to avoid accidents, he turned back to Li Yi and reminded: "I'm about to start working. Don't talk during this time, so as not to disturb me."
Crack the code.”
"Start quickly, otherwise my cousin will be in trouble when he comes back." Li Yi said impatiently. It was a critical moment now. Where did he have time to talk to him? He had to finish the job and leave as soon as possible. He didn't want to stay in this place for a moment.
It's too dangerous.
Later, Wei Gao took out many strange tools from his body. Li Yi had never seen or heard of them and found them very novel. However, he did not dare to ask at will for fear of affecting Wei Gao's work.
In an instant, the study gradually became quiet.
One is working selflessly and seriously by the wall, while the other is listening intently to the movement outside the door. The scene seems very strange.
The entire space instantly became depressing, and Li Yi couldn't help but feel nervous. If someone suddenly broke in at the critical moment, wouldn't all his efforts be wasted?
He is now in a highly tense state, with a serious face and shortness of breath...
Every passing second was a kind of psychological torture for him.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Three minutes.
…
He didn't know how much time had passed, but Li Yi felt that half a century had passed.
Suddenly, a soft "click" sound broke all the dullness.
At this moment, the dreamed voice finally echoed in their ears.
"It's open!"
Wei Gao's excited voice could be heard in the distance. If it weren't for the special circumstances, he would have wanted to cheer loudly.
Hearing the news, Li Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. He clenched his fists tightly and trembled with excitement. The muscles on his face twitched slightly with joy, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise slightly.
At the same time, he rushed up quickly and shouted excitedly: "Open it and take a look."
Wei Gao glanced excitedly at Li Yi who came to him, nodded happily, then turned to look at the handle of the safe, and stretched out his hand to pull it open without hesitation.
He was also very curious about what was inside. Li Yi was deliberately trying to get what was inside, so it must be a rare treasure.
There was a soft "crunch" sound, and the small door of the safe opened.
When they saw the contents of the safe, the two of them couldn't help but froze. They instantly lost consciousness as if struck by lightning. The shocked expressions on their faces were frozen for a long time without any reaction.
-The safe is empty.
"What...what is going on?" Li Yi felt unbelievable. "This is impossible...impossible."
He walked up quickly and pushed away Wei Gao, who was still in a daze. His hands kept tapping up and down in the empty safe, hoping to find any hidden compartments or something like that.
Unfortunately, he failed. There was really nothing in the safe, not even a piece of white paper.
He was stunned and confused. He stood there in a daze, unable to believe this fact and couldn't figure it out.
There is clearly something in here, why is it suddenly missing now?
"Master Li, is this a prank?" Wei Gao's expression was complicated. He really didn't know why. Did he spend so much effort to open an empty safe?
"Oops, we've been discovered!" Li Yi suddenly woke up and his face changed drastically. "Put your things back and leave now."
"ah?"
Wei Gao was puzzled, but he already felt the seriousness of the matter. He quickly closed the safe, hung the oil painting back to its original position, and hurriedly packed up his tools...
After everything was done, Li Yi shouted to Wei Gao with a solemn face: "We have to leave as soon as possible, otherwise we will be in big trouble."
"Oh!" Wei Gao was also made nervous. Could it be that he had caused a big disaster?
Without thinking much, the two of them quickly walked towards the door.
However, at this moment, the door suddenly opened with a creak.
The two of them were startled and stopped suddenly, looking at the door warily.
At this time, a group of cold-looking men in black stood outside the door, blocking the way.
"Cousin, you...why are you here?" Li Yi's body was stiff, his face was ashen, and there was no human color. He was desperate, and it seemed that he was completely finished this time.
The person at the door was none other than Li Jianghe, who claimed to be accompanying the guests outside, and behind him stood five stern-looking bodyguards in black.
Li Jianghe's face was calm, but his eyes were exuding chills. He stared at Li Yi's face and said in a deep voice, "Where are you going in such a hurry?" dd
