Chapter 266 Adventure
The study was filled with a faint smell of wood mixed with the fragrance of ink.
There are several framed paintings hanging on the wall. It seems that Brigade Commander Lu is very fond of calligraphy.
What a pity...his son didn't inherit anything from him.
Xia Nan curled her lips, with a hint of disgust in her eyes.
She glanced around the room and saw a row of cabinets on the east wall. She went forward to check and found that most of the books inside were about war and weapons. In addition, there were some tank models made of bullet shells.
There's really not much to see here.
So she turned her gaze back to the desk in the room.
There are two small potted plants on the table, and the four treasures of the study are placed in a corner of the table, which looks quite romantic.
But she didn't have the heart to appreciate the writing now. She went straight to the desk and opened the drawer.
This table has three drawers, two of which open and can be pulled open by hand.
Xia Nan searched a few times but didn't find anything useful.
When she reached the third drawer, she tried to pull it but it wouldn't open.
She bent down to look and found that the drawer was locked.
So she began to look for the key, but unfortunately, the key was not in this room.
"Do you think this can stump me?" Xia Nan turned and left the study, looking around the house.
Her hard work paid off and she finally found a piece of thin wire.
It was not difficult for her to break into houses and pick locks, after all, she was trained.
The drawer lock opened with a click, she put away the wire and quickly opened the drawer.
Sure enough, the contents of this drawer surprised her.
There were two brown paper bags in the drawer with the word "Confidential" written in big red on the cover.
"It's really here..." She took two deep breaths, suppressed her pounding heart with her hands, and opened the file bag with trembling hands.
She pulled out the information and glanced through it quickly. She couldn't understand most of the content and didn't have time to look it over carefully.
But she recognized the red seal on the back of the information, so it was probably correct.
Looking at the date of the information, which was the most recent date, she felt that it should be useful.
Finally, another file bag was opened, which contained some plans regarding military exercises.
She no longer had time to take a closer look, and was anxiously thinking about how to take these things out.
Suddenly, she thought of Lu Kun's camera.
She can take pictures of these things and take them out.
Without further ado, she took action immediately, went back to Lu Kun's bedroom, opened the drawer, took out the camera, and returned to the study.
She was about to take a photo when she suddenly felt that this was inappropriate and that Lu Kun would easily find out, and she would not be able to explain herself clearly.
So she went back and got a new, unopened roll of film, put it into the camera, and started taking pictures of the materials.
As soon as she had finished, she restored the study to its original state, took the film out of the camera and put it in her pocket.
Just as I was about to put the camera back, I suddenly heard the sound of a key turning in the door lock downstairs.
She quickly put the camera away, closed the drawer, and lay back on the bed.
After a while, the bedroom door opened and Lu Kun walked in.
Xia Nan's heart was still beating very fast, but she didn't say anything and continued to close her eyes and pretend to be asleep.
After her heartbeat calmed down, she slowly moved her body.
"Nannan? Are you awake?" Seeing her move, Lu Kun leaned over and kissed her forehead. "I just bought canned yellow peaches. When you wake up, get up and eat them."
Xia Nan raised his hand to rub his sleepy eyes, yawned, stretched, and pretended to have just woken up: "You're back... It just so happens that I've had enough sleep, shall we go out for a walk this afternoon?"
Now that she has got the things, she has to find a way to deliver them in the afternoon.
"Okay. Get up and eat the canned food first." Lu Kun supported her waist and helped her sit up, then handed her a can of yellow peaches.
Xia Nan took the can and ate it happily, smiling at him from time to time.
Looking at Xia Nan's innocent and sweet appearance, Lu Kun felt mixed emotions.
He really wanted to ask, Xia Nan, are you a spy? What are you thinking?
Is our relationship not as important as your mission?
The phone rang in the living room outside. Lu Kun stood up and said, "I'll go answer it."
"good!"
Lu Kun went downstairs, walked to the phone and answered it.
Xia Nan leaned against the stairs holding the can, listening to the noise downstairs.
She couldn't hear the conversation on the other end of the line, she only heard Lu Kun's impatient response: "Well... I know... Who can you blame for forgetting to put your things away?"
Then, he scratched his hair in annoyance, "Who wants to go to your study? I won't go even if you ask me to go in for free!"
After hanging up the phone, Xia Nan came down slowly from upstairs and asked casually, "What's wrong?"
"The old man left the documents at home." Lu Kun pouted, "I'll have someone come get them later."
Less than half an hour later, there was a knock on the door. A young soldier in neat uniform stood at the door and saluted: "Report! I am the correspondent of Brigade Commander Lu, and I have been ordered to pick up important documents."
Lu Kun waved his hand lazily: "Go in and look for it yourself. I don't know where he puts his things."
A few minutes later, the correspondent went to the study and quickly took out the documents.
Xia Nan thought that this old man Lu was really cunning. It seemed that he was the one who kept the keys to the drawer locks on a daily basis.
Otherwise, how could the correspondent take the documents without even asking where the key was?
"I have got the things. Goodbye, Comrade Lu." The communicator said hello and left.
After he left, Xia Nan came up to Lu Kun and said, "Is it time for your parents to come back soon? Otherwise... you can take me home this afternoon."
Lu Kun frowned, looking unhappy: "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? What are you afraid of them doing? Didn't they say that we were going out for a walk together in the afternoon?"
Xia Nan had already got what she wanted at this time. She was anxious to send out this valuable information and didn't want to delay any longer.
"Isn't it because I'm afraid of causing you trouble? It was because of me that you had a quarrel with your parents... How can I feel embarrassed now?" Xia Nan gently hugged his neck and rested her head on his shoulder. "We will always be together, not just a few days. Don't upset your parents and create obstacles in our love journey. This is what's important."
Seeing that she was determined to leave, Lu Kun sighed and said, "Okay, you have a point. How about this, you pack your things and I'll take you back. It's a good opportunity for me to go out for a walk and take some photos for the magazine. I also have to be diligent and earn some money for milk powder for my unborn child."
