"No, something's wrong!"
Juliet immediately took out her weapon, a fan, for self-defense.
As a student from a prestigious college, he wouldn't be so scared as to run away immediately in the face of such an accident.
So she cautiously, step by step, ventured deeper into the area...
By the time Xiao He had taken down the two men at the warehouse entrance, she had already vanished without a trace.
Looking at this complex design, Xiao He couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.
Fortunately, I had been controlling the accumulation of rage points, and with the current value of 87%, using a few key skills shouldn't be a big problem.
After leaving a message for Wang Xuefeng, Xiao He disappeared among the countless shelves, carrying his knife.
"Strange? There shouldn't be no one here..."
Julie frowned and casually opened a few boxes; the contents were all intact.
It's fair to say that, apart from the absence of people, everything here is as usual.
"Never mind that for now, let's go find the materials Xiaohe needs."
Having walked for so long without seeing anything unusual, she unconsciously lowered her guard.
"Click".
A faint, almost imperceptible sound rang out.
Juliet hadn't taken two steps when suddenly her feet slipped, and a feeling of weightlessness washed over her.
"Ah—" she couldn't help but exclaim.
However, just as he was falling halfway down, he felt his fan get caught on something.
I looked up instinctively and was surprised to see a tiny hand.
"Xiao He?!"
Xiao He lay prone at the edge of the deep pit, gripping the end of the fan with his hand.
"You? What are you doing here?" Juliet asked in surprise.
"This is a trap for you. Don't speak, give me your hand."
"Okay!"
Xiao He slowly pulled her up to the ground, and the latter was still pounding with fear.
"We shouldn't stay here any longer, let's go quickly."
Juliet nodded quickly, grabbed her fan, and stood up with him.
"Buzz—"
However, just as the two turned around, an even larger "cage" suddenly enveloped them without warning.
"Boom..."
The sound of the mechanism was very low and clearly came from deep underground.
This means that beneath this underground warehouse on the first basement level, there is another hidden space.
Juliet was stunned by the sudden turn of events.
This building belongs to the Zhu family, and she, as the heir, doesn't even know when it was renovated.
Xiao He remained motionless, silently sensing the ground's descent to estimate its depth.
Since we can no longer resist, let's calm down and observe the situation.
After a long while, the mechanism gradually came to a stop.
The cage was transported by chains to a secret room.
"Wh-what?! How could this be?!"
Juliet rushed to the cage and gripped the wire mesh tightly. She stared incredulously at the man sitting on the sofa, then at the woman beside him, and suddenly everything became clear.
"Second Brother? You? You actually?"
The man's face was gloomy, but he made no comment.
“We didn’t want it to be like this either, but you just wouldn’t give up,” Gao Lin said with an elegant smile.
