Marriage in crisis

Chapter 3858 There is a secret behind that door

3856

Then, she quickly walked into the corridor on her right.

But halfway through, she suddenly stopped and stood still. After only two seconds, she quickly stepped back and pushed the door on her left, but it didn't open.

She quickly retreated and walked out of the corridor along the same route. It seemed that there were footsteps coming out from inside.

As she retreated to the pillars of the rotunda, this time we could hear footsteps through the screen.

Sure enough, someone came out.

All of us held our breath and stared at the corridor that Chi Xi had just retreated from.

Not long after, a person really walked out from the corridor.

Shen Kuo immediately said, "It's the housekeeper, Uncle Nian."

The butler walked quickly and hurriedly through the round hall and into the main corridor.

Chi Xi immediately tiptoed over and stuck to the side of the main corridor, looking in the direction he was going. He could only see Uncle Nian's back as he hurried forward.

Chi Xi shrank back, hesitated for a moment, and entered the corridor that Uncle Nian had just walked out of.

The corridor was very long, and Chi Xi almost ran in. When she reached the end, she found that there was a corridor that turned left at the end and shrunk into the inside. There was a door there, and the door was very wide. The entire short corridor was lined with green plants on both sides. It looked like a greenhouse.

Chi Xi hesitated for only a moment, then walked over decisively.

Arriving at the door, Chi Xi stopped for a moment and was about to reach out his hand when he heard another clear sound of clearing a throat.

Chi Xi instinctively stuck to the wall like a gecko, listening to the sounds around him.

Only the sound of slight footsteps was heard, which confirmed that there must be someone behind this door.

Chi Xi reached out without hesitation and opened the door...

But what surprised us was that after the door opened, what appeared before everyone's eyes was a staircase leading downwards.

Shen Kuo immediately said, "Why does this look like the entrance to a basement? I thought it was a greenhouse."

Yuxiang also said, "I thought it was a greenhouse or something, but I didn't expect it to be a basement!"

"It's impossible for the Rong family to not have a basement." Wei Qingchuan said, "This should be their basement."

Chi Xi turned back to the corner, looked back, then quickly ran back to the door, walked directly into the door, gently closed the door, and walked down the stairs without hesitation.

At this time, there was another sound of clearing the throat, but the sound did not sound loud.

I was a little skeptical, "That's not right. It seems that the man should be on the top of the stairs. Otherwise, the sound of him clearing his throat wouldn't be so clear to Chi Xi. And the door isn't locked. It seems that Uncle Nian should be back soon."

Wei Qingchuan gave me an approving look and said, "That should be the case, otherwise Chi Xi wouldn't have checked it out just now."

At this time, Chi Xi had already gone underground and was carefully moving inward. We saw through the screen that the scene in front of us was a bit surprising.

On the surface, this is just an ordinary underground storage room, but it is quite large.

There were a lot of miscellaneous items in it, mostly small pieces of furniture and decorative items, but it was packed full. No wonder the stairs we just came down were so wide, it seemed to be convenient for moving these furniture.

Chi Xi carefully hid his body inside and changed his position little by little, but strangely, he did not see any human figure.

I couldn't help but mutter, "I clearly heard the sound of someone clearing a throat just now, so why didn't I see anyone?"

Ah Yan said, "It looks like there's a mechanism underneath!"

Even Chi Xi in the picture was doubting her life. She sniffed, as if she was smelling something.

Wei Qingchuan immediately explained, "Smoke! There must be a smell of smoke! This means that the person who cleared his throat just now came up to smoke!"

"Could it be... that this person is Song Deming?" Shen Kuo looked at Wei Qingchuan and made a bold guess.

Wei Qingchuan said with a serious face, "It's not impossible. His presence must be hidden. Otherwise, Rong Pengcheng's people can't say that they didn't see any strangers in the house.

There are only two possibilities. One, Rong Pengcheng's people are unreliable. Two, only Uncle Nian can come here. I guess the latter is more likely!"

Wei Qingchuan had just finished speaking when he saw Chi Xi on the screen suddenly squatting down and shrinking into the corner.

We all looked at the big screen nervously.

At this moment, the door above was heard to ring again, followed by footsteps coming down from above...

Looks like another person is coming down!

PS: I'm a bit stuck today. There's a big plot here, and I can't handle it right now. Let me think about it! So I'll just write one chapter tonight! In addition, I'll go for a physical examination tomorrow morning! It's a normal examination, don't worry! I sit for a long time and have some gallstones. I haven't had a checkup in two years. I have an appointment with the doctor tomorrow! Don't wait for me at noon, I'll update in the evening!
