Of course, this is also because the basement described in the book doesn't have any hidden mechanisms; otherwise, Chen Shuning wouldn't wear shoes that make it difficult to even walk, even if it meant exposing himself.
Thinking that the treasure described in the book was in the basement, he then found a headlamp and cotton gloves in the basement of the space and put them on.
After getting dressed, I mustered up my courage and went back into the house. Following the description in the book, I found the special floor tile in the corner of the bedroom.
Using the screwdriver I brought out from the space, I pried open the floor tile and saw a small copper ring underneath. I gripped it and pulled hard to lift the copper ring up.
With the sound of iron chains rubbing against the copper rings, the ground in the southeast corner of the bedroom collapsed, revealing a staircase leading underground that could accommodate three or four people walking side by side.
After descending the thick, dusty steps for about twenty steps, you reach the bottom and turn a corner to find a large hall of over 100 square meters.
The hall was surrounded by a wooden shelf more than two meters high, filled with all sorts of bottles and jars. Chen Shuning didn't understand anything about white porcelain, celadon, or anything with a round belly and long neck. She only knew that the secret treasure trove that made Old Master Sun go so far as to poison more than a dozen of his subordinates who had followed him for many years would definitely not contain anything worthless.
So Chen Shuning didn't intend to miss anything here today. After walking around the narrow path, which was less than half a meter wide, all the bottles, jars, and shelves around her disappeared as Chen Shuning's little hands kept stroking them.
Then there were large wooden crates on the ground. I opened one at random and found it full of gold and silver jewelry. I opened a few more, and in addition to gold and silver jewelry, some crates were full of gold bars.
What else is there to say? Let's collect them. In no time, more than a hundred large wooden crates disappeared from the basement.
Not having time to open and check everything, Chen Shuning ransacked the basement, then carefully searched it again, not even missing a rat hole, before confirming that there were no other secret rooms or valuables.
Chen Shuning quickly left the basement. After all, being in such a confined space, especially the basement that might have been the first scene of Old Master Sun's poisoning of his henchmen, was just too oppressive.
After leaving the basement, Chen Shuning glanced at her watch and saw that it was already past four o'clock. Thinking that her mother should have been home by now, she ran home without delay.
Yes, she had to run. There were many vehicles in her space, such as bicycles and electric bikes, but she didn't dare to use them. So she could only run while frantically drinking the spiritual spring water from her space to recover. Even so, it was almost six o'clock when Chen Shuning reached the entrance of her alley.
