Chapter 346 Familiar Footsteps
However, he didn't hear any unusual noise.
He took slight steps and walked towards the house on the left.
Jiang Liuyun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
Fortunately, the secret room was made of special materials, so no matter what noise Lin Zhiqing and Lin Yangyang made inside, it was difficult for people outside to hear it.
Jiang Liuyun quickened his pace and caught up with Lu Huai.
After Lu Huai entered the laundry room on the left, he looked around very carefully, but did not find any problems.
After coming out of the laundry room on the left, he stopped in the middle of the yard, his eyes constantly moving between the laundry rooms on both sides.
Jiang Liuyun narrowed his eyes. Although he was afraid that Lu Huai would go to the laundry room on the right to check, he could not show any expression.
Having dealt with Lu Huai and Lin Zhiqing so many times, he knew very well that Lu Huai was a very meticulous person. If he gave too many feedback with actions or expressions, it would easily arouse suspicion.
Lu Huai didn't know what Jiang Liuyun was thinking. After observing carefully, he walked towards the laundry room on the right.
After entering the door, the smell of soapberries hits you in the face.
However, the smell is relatively light and you can't smell it outside.
Afterwards, Lu Huai saw many clothes hanging in the house to dry.
This is normal. It has been raining a lot in Shengjing recently. If clothes are left outside to dry, there is a risk of them getting wet.
He shifted his gaze from the clothes and walked step by step to the innermost side of the room.
Jiang Liuyun looked at the hollow wall inside and felt a little nervous.
Lu Huai's steps were slow, and inexplicably had a sense of rhythm.
In comparison, Jiang Liuyun's steps were much more casual.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Lin Zhiqing in the inner room heard the sound and quickly turned around to look in the direction of the hollow wall.
She recognized Lu Huai's footsteps!
And judging from the direction of the sound, Lu Huai was walking towards the hollow wall.
Lin Zhiqing immediately grabbed Lin Yangyang, who was still calling for help, and turned towards the hollow wall:
"Cousin, the person who was outside just now has come in."
"I suspect this secret room is made of some special material. We can hear slight noises outside, but people outside can't hear us."
"Besides, the wall we just saw was a solid wall, so it has better sound insulation. Let's go and see the hollow wall, which has slightly worse sound insulation."
"Yeah." After hearing this, Lin Yangyang walked towards the hollow wall without hesitation. She put her ear against the wall and indeed heard the sound of footsteps.
An excited expression flashed across her face, and she immediately knocked on the wall to see if anyone outside could hear the sound.
But after knocking it several times in a row, there was no special effect.
Lin Zhiqing shook his head slightly, his expression somewhat heavy:
"People outside shouldn't be able to hear it."
Lin Yangyang refused to give up: "I'll try shouting a few more times. If that doesn't work, how about just breaking through the wall and getting out?"
Lin Zhiqing thought quickly in his mind. If the person outside was the former Lu Huai, then breaking through the wall would be feasible.
But if it were Lu Huai now, what would be his purpose in coming to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion? Could he believe it?
These things mixed together made Lin Zhiqing's thoughts a little confused.
It was rare for her to lose her resolve.
Lin Yangyang was getting a little anxious: "Sister Qing, what are you hesitating about? If you don't make a decision, it will be too late."
Lu Huai, ah Lu Huai, Lin Zhiqing closed his eyes, and the scene of Lu Huai appearing in his mind for the first time was.
At that time, Lin Zhiqing regarded him as a temporary savior, but now does not seem to be the time to recall these things.
Reason gradually returned, and Lin Zhiqing tried to think about this problem from a rational perspective.
If Lu Huai knew that they were in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, or saw them leaving the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, would he take any adverse action against them?
The answer is no!
He had no right to do so. Even though he had concealed many things from the past, Lin Zhiqing had never doubted his character and morals.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing took a deep breath:
"Cousin, breaking through the wall is possible!"
The moment she heard this, Lin Yangyang seemed to have received some kind of instruction. She waved her fist, gathered her energy into her dantian, and punched the hollow wall without hesitation.
"Bang!"
A subtle voice was heard, and Jiang Liuyun's eyes narrowed outside.
He reacted quickly, moved his wrist, and a needle flew out of the air, instantly hitting the bamboo rack for clothes closest to him.
The bamboo frame was hit and quickly fell to the ground, and the sound it made instantly covered up the previous sound.
Lu Huai frowned, looked at the bamboo frame, and then looked at Jiang Liuyun.
Jiang Liuyun looked normal and shouted outside:
"Someone, come here! This bamboo frame has been in disrepair for a long time and it broke down at this time. Don't let Master Lu make a fool of our Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion."
Soon, servants came over and carried the fallen bamboo frame out.
Lu Huai's gaze did not linger on the bamboo frame for too long. He walked towards the hollow wall again.
Jiang Liuyun's heart tightened and he quickly followed.
Lu Huai reached out his hand, touched the hollow wall, and then spoke casually:
"The wall of your house is well built."
Jiang Liuyun's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know why Lu Huai suddenly said this without any context, so he could only bite the bullet and answer:
"Why, the wall of Lord Lu's house is not working properly? Do you want me to send some craftsmen over to help you fix it?"
"That's not necessary. The Lu family's wall is very good." After saying this, Lu Huai turned and walked out, no longer paying attention to the wall.
Hearing this, Jiang Liuyun breathed a sigh of relief.
But Lin Yangyang in the inner room was a little anxious. She looked at Lin Zhiqing and said, "Sister Qing, the person outside is Lu Huai!"
"But he doesn't seem to have noticed any trace of us. Is he leaving?"
Lin Zhiqing nodded. She also heard what Lu Huai said just now.
The two were in the same space, but their circumstances were completely different.
Seeing Lin Zhiqing's calm appearance, Lin Yangyang became even more anxious.
She was surprised that the hollow wall was not broken.
The situation was out of control. She bit her lip and pushed Lin Zhiqing aside.
"Sister Qing, please move aside. I'll try again. Who knows, maybe this time I can make Lu Huai notice the unusual movements here!"
Lin Zhiqing grabbed her wrist and said, "Cousin, don't try again."
"This is the secret room of the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion after all. Both Zhenyuan Marquis and Jiang Liuyun were martial artists, so when they built this place, they probably considered the possibility of a martial arts master breaking out of the cocoon."
"If they've already prepared, then no matter how many times you try, it will be useless. Save your energy for now."
"Besides..." She paused at this point:
"How do you know whether Lu Huai didn't hear it, or heard it but pretended not to hear it?"
