"Did you find it?"
"Quick, go over there and take a look!"
At night, the Xie family compound was brightly lit, and all the servants were running back and forth in the compound. The sound of footsteps and shouts intertwined, breaking the silence of the night.
Xie Qi, who was lying on the bed, got out of bed and walked towards the door after hearing the noise.
When Xie Qi pushed the door open and looked at the servants flying past him, the doubts in his heart became stronger.
So he stretched out his hand and grabbed it, successfully stopping one of the servants who was running out of breath.
Xie Qi grabbed the man by the collar, dragged him in front of him, and demanded, "Why are you making so much noise so late at night? Are you still going to let me sleep?"
The servant was obviously startled, his face filled with panic, and he stammered, "Sorry... sorry to disturb your rest, young master. It's... it's the master who ordered us to capture the Fourth Madam."
Hearing this, Xie Qi asked impatiently, "Why did you arrest her?"
"I... I don't know the details. I just heard vaguely that it seemed that the fourth wife accidentally saw something she shouldn't have seen, and was discovered by the master." The servant answered tremblingly, with cold sweat on his forehead.
After hearing this, Xie Qi couldn't help but feel a little doubtful. Based on Xie Tianyi's usual temperament, he would definitely not mobilize all the servants to arrest a concubine for such a small matter.
Unless, what the Fourth Madam witnessed was extremely important, so serious that it might even be a matter of life and death. Thinking of this, Xie Qi's face became solemn, and he loosened his grip on the servant's collar.
Xie Qi: "If you're looking for someone, just find someone and keep your voice down."
"Yes, Master."
Xie Qi watched the servant who ran faster than a rabbit disappear from his sight, then turned around and went back to his room, closing the door.
However, just as he closed the door, a strange feeling suddenly came over him. Xie Qi couldn't help but frown, and his eyes became more alert.
He took cautious steps and slowly walked towards the bed. As the distance shortened, Xie Qi finally discovered some clues.
The wardrobe, which should have been tightly closed, was now slightly ajar, as if someone had opened it in a hurry and had not closed it completely.
Not only that, there was also a tiny gap in the window right next to it, which obviously wasn't closed properly.
Xie Qi: "948, is the person hiding inside Lan'er?"
948: "Yes, it's her."
Hearing this answer, Xie Qi thought to himself: I didn't expect that Lan'er had been forced into a desperate situation. She even dared to hide in the room of the original owner, a notorious and dissolute playboy. It can be seen how difficult her situation is.
Just as Xie Qi was thinking, there was another violent knock on the door.
"Master, please open the door again and let us go in to search." An anxious voice came from outside the door.
Xie Qi stood in the room, his face gloomy, and shouted to the outside of the door: "Get out! I need to rest. If you need help, go find someone else!"
However, the person outside the door did not give up and continued to shout, "Master, we have searched everywhere in the Xie Mansion. The only room left is yours..."
Xie Qi: "You can't find anyone so you come to disturb my sweet dreams. Are you tired of living?"
However, at this moment, someone seemed to be approaching from outside the door. After a while, Xie Tianyi spoke earnestly, "Son, how about you open the door first? Dad isn't suspicious of you, but I'm really worried that the bitch is hiding in your room and might harm you."
Upon hearing this, Xie Qi couldn't help but frown. Looking at Xie Tianyi's attitude, he was afraid that if he didn't let him into the house to search it today, this matter would not be resolved.
Thinking of this, Xie Qi's gaze involuntarily turned to the direction of the wardrobe, and he wondered in his heart: What kind of situation did Lan'er witness that could make Xie Tianyi so nervous as if facing a great enemy.
Xie Qi shouted impatiently towards the door: "I know, I know, it's so annoying, wait until I get dressed."
After saying that, he walked quickly to the bedside, pulled hard with both hands, and moved the bed a distance away.
Then, Xie Qi reached out without hesitation and opened the wardrobe door.
Lan'er, who was originally curled up in the corner of the closet, suddenly met Xie Qi's eyes.
In an instant, fear filled her eyes, and she was about to scream. But before she could make a sound, Xie Qi covered her mouth tightly.
Xie Qi: "If you still want to live, shut up!"
Before he finished speaking, Xie Qi grabbed Lan'er, who had been stunned for a long time, and walked to the bedside.
Then he stuffed Lan'er into the dark and deep underground passage under the bed.
Xie Qi lowered his voice and said, "Just keep going forward along this passage and don't look back!"
This underground passage was opened by 948 in an hour. The entrance of the passage is narrow but the space inside is large and can accommodate one person. At the end of the passage is Xie Qi's temporary residence outside.
At this time, Xie Qi covered the hole with a wooden board, then spread a blanket on the board, and finally moved the bed back to its original position.
After completing this series of movements, Xie Qi was already panting and sweating profusely.
In addition to the physical fatigue, what made him feel even more unbearable was the stabbing pain in his heart that came from time to time, as if it were pierced by thousands of arrows.
948, who had been observing silently, saw Xie Qi like this and couldn't help but feel a deep worry in his heart. He couldn't help but persuade him, "Host, don't force yourself next time. OOC can really kill people."
