"Junior sister, you~" He Zhan was speechless after hearing Zhou Yi's words.
He couldn't beat Yun Gaofei, and Lan Yin's skills were comparable to those of the eldest senior brother, so he couldn't beat him either. Each of their fists was harder than his.
Yun Gaofei and Lan Yin also looked at him provocatively.
"What? Do you still want to show off?" Yun Gaofei said when he saw He Zhan's dissatisfied look on his face.
"I dare not, Captain Yun." He Zhan looked quite funny as he gritted his teeth.
Zhou Yi looked at him and smiled, then patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, please help look after the brothers who stayed behind. We will be back soon."
What else can He Zhan say?
Zhou Yi and the others turned around and left the small building, walking back in the direction they had just come from in the dark.
They soon arrived at the small building that had just turned into North Lane 1. The entrance was on the other side of the building. They observed for a long time before carefully walking to the other side.
Yun Gaofei and Lan Yin were guarding on the left and right sides, while Zhou Yi was looking for the secret door switch on the wall of the small building.
Time passed little by little, and Zhou Yi had studied almost all the brick surfaces on the entire side, but found nothing.
"Xiaoyi, how are you?" Lan Yin asked softly.
"Not yet." Zhou Yi carefully observed all the positions of the wall while recalling in his mind all the rules for setting up secret room doors and hidden doors that he had come across in his previous life.
Knob? Lever? Button?
If there really is a secret door in this wall, then there must be a switch nearby, but no objects or signs related to switches were found on the entire wall.
"Xiaoyi, the shift change will be in half an hour." Yun Gaofei reminded.
He had told everyone about the working hours here before. Those who work for the people in North Second Lane all live in North First Lane, and they will take shifts every three hours. There are a total of eight shifts, but there are not many people. Everyone will take shifts three times a day.
This is also where Long Yingnian is cautious. He will not let the same group of people stay in Beier Lane for too long. At the same time, he will not let them stay in Beier Lane for too long. Except for the necessary rest time, there is almost no other time to stay, and there is no extra energy to do other things.
"I'll try my best." Zhou Yi said.
Then she turned her gaze from the wall to the ground, and then to the columns of the corridor, taking in almost every detail.
Just as Zhou Yi checked the flowerpot in the middle of the column, she noticed that the height of the flowerpot was a little wrong.
But at this moment, Yun Gaofei and Lan Yin moved closer to Zhou Yi and gestured for her to look in the direction of North Second Lane.
Zhou Yi looked up and saw a few tiny lights moving from far to near.
"Xiaoyi, we have to leave." Yun Gaofei said, pulling Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi glanced at the flowerpot and was reluctant to leave at this time, but seeing the lights getting closer and closer, she knew that if she didn't leave, it would only alert the enemy.
Finally, she nodded, followed Yun Gaofei and Lan Yin, and quickly slipped to the innermost side of the corridor, moving quickly towards the dangerous building where Yun Gaofei was hiding.
But after they walked a few meters, they saw several lights moving from far to near in the direction of the dangerous building.
"These should be the people who are taking over the shift." Yun Gaofei said in a deep voice.
At this moment, his heart was in his throat. There were people approaching from both ends of North Lane 1, and he could not move forward or backward.
"Gao Fei, let's retreat back to the small building next to the secret door." Zhou Yi suggested.
Since she couldn't retreat, she wanted to go back to the secret door, so that she would at least have a chance to verify whether the switch was under the flower pot.
"No, we don't know which building the workers will be assigned to after work. What if they happen to be in that building, or the building next door? It's too dangerous." Yun Gaofei objected, and then added, "Besides, we don't even know if anyone lives in that building."
But in fact, he has no better way now. He can only choose a small building to hide, otherwise he will be discovered. However, retreating to the small building where the secret door was just opened would be the most risky.
After all, when they retreated there, the people at both ends of North Lane were about to reach that position, only ten meters apart at most.
"Gao Fei, Sister Yin, do you believe me?" Zhou Yi looked at them and said, "There's no better way now, and I've discovered a new way to unlock the secret door."
"Are you serious?" Yun Gaofei and Lan Yin looked at Zhou Yi in surprise.
"It's just a guess, so it's a bit of a bet. If that wasn't a switch, we would probably have been discovered." Zhou Yi said truthfully.
She couldn't be 100% sure it was there, or maybe the flower pots of that era were just that height.
Yun Gaofei and Lan Yin were caught in a dilemma. The risk was too great. What if that was not the switch, and the people who had just finished work happened to be arranged to rest in that small building, then they would face the situation of falling into Long Yingnian's hands.
If it really comes to this, apart from anything else, the Su family and Lian Guoying will be in a passive position and will definitely compromise. Then Long Yingnian and Long Yan will most likely slip away right under their noses, and Zhou Yi's danger index will be very high.
You have to know that Long Yingnian and Su Mingzhe have fought so many times, and the reason for the current situation is that the Long family has no leverage over the Su family.
Thinking of this, Yun Gaofei looked at Zhou Yi and said, "Xiaoyi, let's choose one of these two small buildings to hide temporarily. After this wave of handovers is over, we can go over and confirm whether it is the real switch."
"It's too late." Lan Yin raised his chin and signaled Yun Gaofei and Zhou Yi to look in the direction of the dangerous building.
The lights were very close. If they chose to hide in one of these buildings, they would probably be discovered before they even closed the door.
"Let's go." Zhou Yi took the lead and walked towards the secret door. "Let's speed up. We still have time."
Lan Yin followed closely beside Zhou Yi, and Yun Gaofei had no choice but to keep up.
When they returned to the secret door, the lights at both ends were less than ten meters away from them.
Zhou Yi ran breathlessly to the corridor pillar on the left side of the secret door, looked up at the flowerpot, and found that she was not tall enough.
He gestured to Yun Gaofei to squat down, and he did so.
Zhou Yi stepped on Yun Gaofei's shoulders and reached out to lift the flowerpot.
At this moment, Lan Yin said anxiously, "Xiaoyi, have you found it? It's less than eight meters away. Just two meters further and you can see the situation here clearly."
"Right away." Zhou Yi lifted the flowerpot with one hand and looked at the base of the original flowerpot, but found nothing.
This confused Zhou Yi. Was this the end of his life tonight?!
"Are you done?" Lan Yin continued to ask.
Zhou Yi did not give up and continued to look at the base of the flowerpot carefully. Suddenly her eyes widened.
