Chapter 386 Can’t see?

Meng Yanxin and the others waited for a while before getting up and leaving. Li Youchui was responsible for keeping watch outside, while Wu Suanpan and Baozhu followed her into the house.

But when he arrived at the door, he was stumped by the closed door.

"Oh no, I should have stolen the key first." Meng Yanxin frowned as she looked at the locked door.

"Let me do this." Baozhu took a hairpin from her hair.

"You can do this too?" Meng Yan was a little surprised.

"My father used to be a locksmith, and I learned some things from him." Baozhu said this with a hint of sadness, but she quickly adjusted her mood.

Wu Suanpan and Meng Yanxin made way for her and stood aside to help her block the view from the surroundings.

Baozhu walked forward, straightened the hairpin, and inserted it into the lock cylinder.

"Click!" After a while, the sound of the door lock opening was heard.

The two people in front turned their heads to look at the open door and gave Baozhu a thumbs up.

Baozhu smiled a little embarrassedly and pushed the door open first and walked in.

The room was empty and there was no movement.

The three of them carefully entered the room and closed the door.

But they didn't expect that just as they closed the door, they heard the sound of a door opening from inside.

The three of them widened their eyes instantly and looked around. There was no place to hide.

Everyone became a little anxious.

"Tada." The sound of footsteps came towards them.

"Auntie Qian, is there anything to eat?" A woman's somewhat lazy voice slowly came from inside.

Then a woman in a bright red silk halter dress appeared in front of them, rubbing her messy hair.

But the woman didn't seem to see the three people, her eyes were full of confusion: "Strange, I just heard the sound of the door opening!"

"Did I hear it wrong?"

The woman shouted around and found that no one answered her, so she could only twist her waist and go back to the room. After a while, she came out neatly dressed.

There was shock in the eyes of the three of them. They really couldn't see them!

Seeing that the woman was about to go out, they hurriedly and carefully made way for her and waited for her to open the door and go out.

Li Youchui, who was watching at the door, saw a strange woman coming out and his scalp instantly felt tingling.

Oh no, I hope we won’t be discovered!

He did not act rashly and carefully observed the woman's expression. It seemed that there was nothing wrong.

He walked towards the woman, but the woman acted as if she didn't see him and walked towards a breakfast stall.

Li Youchui followed her worriedly, sat next to her and ordered something.

He only saw the woman finish breakfast and leave. He did not follow her, but asked the owner of the stall about the woman's situation.

Only then did I realize that this woman was a dancer in Beiyang City. She must have stayed somewhere yesterday and left early in the morning.

After Li Youchui found out clearly, he didn't plan to follow anymore. He glanced at Pei Jingming's house not far away, but had no idea what was going on inside.

Meng Yanxin saw the woman leave, waited for a while to make sure there was no sound inside, and then looked at the two people who had countless questions to ask.

"Find something first, and we'll talk when we get back." She lowered her voice and spoke to the two of them.

The two of them nodded immediately, put aside the questions in their minds, and began to search for useful clues in Pei Jingming's house.

Meng Yanxin brought a miniature camera with her this time to facilitate her actions.

They first found Pei Jingming's study, and Baozhu opened the locked drawer.

A piece of paper with Taisho Empire characters written on it was found inside.

"Miss Meng, do you recognize the words written above?" Baozhu frowned as she looked at the words.

"Yes, this lists some of our country's famous antiques. If I'm not mistaken, they want to steal our antiques."

"These people are so despicable. If they succeed, I'm afraid these things will never come back." Baozhu was a little angry.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's see if there are any other more valuable things." Meng Yanxin took a picture of what was on the paper.

They put it back to its original place. They couldn't let Pei Jingming find out something was wrong, and they couldn't alert the enemy.

The three of them quickly searched the study, but found nothing more useful.

Wu Suanpan thought for a moment and said, "We should search the other rooms as well."

"Okay." Meng Yanxin nodded.

The three of them went to search other rooms separately, and they actually found a secret room in an inconspicuous room.

It turned out that Pei Jingming's documents were not destroyed, but were all hidden here by him.

Meng Yanxin looked at these documents and became more and more shocked.

Wu Suanpan saw that her expression was not right: "Ms. Meng, is there something wrong?"

"It's okay. You guys look for anything else. I'll take pictures of all of this." Meng Yanxin looked at the two of them and smiled.

The two nodded and went to search again to see if they could find anything else.

Meng Yanxin took photos of all the documents and made sure that there was nothing else of value before they left the secret room.

Just as the three were about to leave, they heard the phone ring.

They all turned towards the phone to see how many times it rang.

As the ringing continued more than twice, they stopped lingering and opened the door a crack to look outside to make sure no one was paying attention.

Then he left Pei Jingming's house, locked the door, and called Li Youchui to leave.

Pei Jingming always felt that someone was following him when he went out today, but every time he looked back, he didn't see anyone.

Cui'e was responsible for following him. There was an alley with no obstructions. He suddenly turned around and scared himself.

I was thinking about walking forward and just passing by.

As a result, Pei Jingming frowned and walked forward as if he didn't see her.

Although Cui'e had doubts in her heart, she did not forget her mission and continued to follow him slowly.

And she found that Pei Jingming really couldn't see her, even though she was following her very closely, for many blocks.

He even looked back several times but couldn't find himself.

Pei Jingming was uneasy, but when he turned around he still couldn't see anyone.

Am I overthinking it?

Cui'e saw him entering the Taisho Chamber of Commerce, hesitated for a moment, and then followed him in.

The guard at the door did not stop her, allowing her to enter easily.

She quickly caught up with Pei Jingming, and when he pushed the door open and went in, she also slipped into the open door.

Pei Jingming looked at the person sitting in front of him, walked over to him and sat down, speaking something to him in Dazheng language.

Cui'e couldn't understand what they were saying and could only look at their facial expressions.

I only saw that the man opposite was very angry and seemed to be scolding Pei Jingming.

Pei Jingming was scolded so badly that he couldn't raise his head. His fingers were clenched into fists, and his face was full of forbearance.

After the other party had vented his anger, he started talking to Pei Jingming about other things.

Cui'e didn't understand, so when someone pushed the door open, she quietly followed him out and prepared to wait for him outside.
