Marriage in crisis

We all held our breath and looked towards the door on the screen. We didn't see anyone, but the footsteps were urgent, and it sounded like two people were walking.

The camera moved outwards again, and finally saw two people coming down the stairs. The housekeeper had returned, and there was a young man beside him.

As the sensor light in the storage room turned on, we could see the man's face clearly.

Shen Kuo and I both exclaimed, "...is it him?"

Wei Qingchuan also murmured, "So it was him. Looks like it will be easy to investigate now!"

Shen Kuo nodded, "Yes, this time we have a direction! I told you, it must be very difficult!"

Because the man following the butler was the man Bai Ying had met a few days ago.

They were seen hurriedly walking towards the depths of the storage room. Chi Xi quickly came out from his hiding place, crouched down and followed them under the cover of the shadows.

The butler led the man to the innermost corner and stopped. There was an angle there, forming a two-meter-wide wall.

The two people stood facing the wall and did not see where the butler moved, but the next second, they heard a slight buzzing sound, and all of us who were staring at the big screen were startled.

Because we saw that the wall in front of them was slowly rising up.

"Sure enough, there is a secret passage!" Ah Yan exclaimed, feeling relieved.

After the wall rose, another door was revealed inside, which turned out to be an elevator.

The butler reached out and pressed the elevator button. Two people walked in one after another. When the elevator door closed, the wall automatically fell down again.

Chi Xi was very brave and ran straight over, but when she got there, the wall had already fallen tightly together.

She stretched out her hand and pushed it, then carefully observed the gap. It was simply a work of art. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell that this wall is a movable wall.

Chi Xi tried to knock, but there was no hollow sound, which showed that the wall was very thick. If he checked it normally, it would probably take some effort.

She looked carefully at the place where the butler had just stood, probably looking for a switch.

Just now, there was an object blocking the camera, and we didn't see the butler make any big moves before he raised the wall. I guess the mechanism is somewhere on the ground.

Chi Xi bent down and searched very carefully, but just as she was checking the ground carefully, a buzzing sound seemed to come from that location again, as if it was the sound of an elevator arriving.

We were all nervous. Chi Xi quickly retreated into the shadows, but this time, she was quite close to the wall. She curled herself up into a ball and hid under a table.

As soon as she shrank back, she saw the wall slowly rising again.

The camera was fixed on the gradually rising position. When the elevator was halfway up, it rose up, the elevator door opened, and the butler walked out.

The bright white light inside made him look eerie and scary, like a ghost.

He walked out of the elevator car, casually glanced at the messy places in front of him, and then walked out without stopping. He took two steps and stepped on a spot on the ground. He saw that the wall paused, stopped rising, and fell again.

The butler didn't even look back and walked out directly.

I looked at the time and it should be past 1 a.m. in Country M.

This old thing has no intention of sleeping yet, and is as lively as a mouse.

This time, Chi Xi did not rush out, but listened attentively to the sound of him going up. But soon, he heard the sound of the housekeeper locking the door after he went up.

Everything returned to normal, and the silence was suffocating.

Chi Xi squeezed out of the gap where she was hiding and quickly looked at the place where the housekeeper had stepped heavily just now.

The floor tiles on the ground are like mosaics, made up of two colors. If you don't look carefully, you can't see any difference.

Chi Xi tried it with her foot. The center of the pattern was a blue diamond-patterned square brick. She stepped on it hard, but there was no movement.

She continued to move forward along the lines of the square bricks, pressing her hands on the texture, and finally, she saw the clue.

The direction of the diamond patterns on the ground was different. After missing three square bricks, the direction of the other one was opposite. Chi Xi reached out and pressed hard, and the brick moved.

She stood up and stepped on it with her foot. Sure enough, the wall moved and slowly rose up.

Chi Xi hurried back and stepped on the square brick she stepped on at the beginning. The wall actually paused for a moment and then fell down.

We all breathed a sigh of relief.
