164 Departure
After learning the location of the ruby, Xiao Di and Zhi Ge entered Bruce's room almost unimpeded.
At this time, the curtains in Archduke Bruce's bedroom were closed, and a glimmer of light came through the cracks in the curtains that had not been drawn tightly.
Xiao Di threw the obstructive shawl on the ground, lifted the hem of his skirt and walked to Bruce's bedside, raising his hand and knocking on the wall at the head of his bed.
The echoing sound sounded from the tap, and Xiao Di could be sure that the chamber was behind the wall.
Zhi Ge followed her, bent down to pick up the shawl on the ground and put it in the crook of his arm, and knocked on the wall after Xiao Di.
"I forgot to ask how to open the secret room." Xiao Di frowned, looking a little annoyed, "You said that if you split the wall, the sound will be transmitted below?" ”
A slight smile tugged at the corner of Zhige's lips.
He turned his head and looked around, and after a moment, he walked over to the big man's bed, pulled open the drawer under the bed, reached in and groped in for a while.
"There's a switch here." Zhi Ge felt a bulge and reached out to press it.
The next moment, Xiao Di saw the wall in front of him slide to both sides, and in the blink of an eye, a narrow door was revealed that could only be entered by one person at a time.
"How do you know the switch is here?" Xiao Di was a little curious.
Zhi Ge lowered his voice and explained, "This kind of design is common in the emperor, and I have one in my house, I mean the previous home. ”
Xiao Di nodded in understanding.
"You're waiting for me outside." Xiao Di said to Zhige.
Zhi Ge nodded, "Be careful." ”
Xiao Di didn't say anything more, turned around and entered the secret room.
The secret room was lit up the moment the door opened, and Xiao Di walked down the stairs that sloped down, and after a while, he entered a boxy secret room.
In the middle of the chamber was a one-man tall safe, but there was nothing else in the chamber.
Xiao Di walked to the safe, offered New Year's greetings with his backhand, and split the door of the safe without saying a word.
There was an opening on the cabinet door that was large enough for people to reach into, and Xiao Di first put his probe over to confirm the location of the ruby, and then poked his hand in, and felt the palm-sized ruby out.
When the gem arrived, Xiao Di put it into the storage ring and went out to join Zhige.
"I've already informed Huo Qiangyin to gather at the door." Stop the fight against the Shaw Causeway.
Xiao Di nodded, and as soon as he took two steps, he almost fell under his feet with garlic.
She wrinkled her nose and bent over to untie her high heels in particular unhappiness.
However, before she could bend down, she saw Zhi Ge crouching down on his knees in front of her, reaching out to hold the slender ankle under her skirt.
"I'll come." Zhi Ge's voice sounded hoarse in the quiet and dark room.
Xiao Di twisted the ankle that was being held a little uncomfortably, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere under him was a little wrong.
Doing the right thing, how did it become like this??
However, Zhi Ge didn't care about Xiao Di's little awkwardness.
He took the dark red strap off Xiao Di's ankle very seriously, and took it off by holding the heel of the red high heel.
When Xiao Di wanted to step on the ground, Zhi Ge still held the soles of her feet and let her step on the hem of her clothes.
Xiao Di's feet were full of itchy flesh, and at this time, he was held by Zhi Ge so lightly and heavily, and his waist and eyes were almost soft.
She subconsciously reached out to hold Zhi Ge's shoulders and put her weight on Zhi Ge.
However, Zhi Ge, who was half-squatting, didn't seem to feel her weight, and asked her to hold on without moving.
"Don't get dirty." Zhi Ge felt the changes in Xiao Di's body, and a little smile appeared on his lips.
He didn't say anything more, but then took off another shoe for her.
"Alright, I'll do it myself." Xiao Di saw that he was about to hold his feet again, so he immediately raised his feet, and his toes collapsed straight in mid-air.
She didn't dare to look at Zhige, but hurriedly took out a pair of black boots from the storage ring and stomped into them.
Changing back into shoes that were convenient for movement, Xiao Di breathed a sigh of relief and said casually: "Let's go." ”
Fish me for this?
Xiao Di was suspicious, but he didn't mean to discuss personal issues with Zhige at this time.
And when Zhi Ge saw her dodging, he didn't force her, he just honestly held her shawl, and he wanted to go out with people.
However, before the two of them could walk out of the Grand Duke's room, they saw three people coming in at the door.
The three of them didn't seem to expect that there were still people in the house, and they were startled when they saw Xiao Di and Zhige.
"You're also contestants?" One of them asked in a low voice.
Zhi Ge and Xiao Di didn't answer for a long time, and the three of them naturally didn't just stand so stupidly, and the next moment they rushed towards the two with their respective weapons.
Xiao Di stood in place and didn't move, and saw that Zhi Ge easily cleaned up the three of them.
Looking at the three people who were tied into zongzi and thrown in the corner, Xiao Di's eyes rolled, and he stepped forward and pulled out the memories of the three of them.
"Remember, you stole the rubies and were going to take them out and sell them." Xiao Di began to fool them.
The three of them were still in a state of confusion after being pulled out of their memories, and they all nodded honestly when they heard the words.
Xiao Di couldn't help but be very satisfied when he saw this, and when he wanted to leave here again, he heard the noisy shouts coming from the corridor, as well as the angry voice of Grand Duke Bruce.
"What are you all doing to eat! Someone broke into my room! Bruce was a little hysterical, and he walked all the way, and the words of the scolding were not repeated.
"There are people under the window, and you can't get through." Xiao Di opened the curtain slightly and looked down.
Hearing this, Zhi Ge looked around the room, then grabbed Xiao Di's wrist and hid her in the Grand Duke's storage room with her.
Before entering the storage room, Zhi Ge's handnail slipped out, cutting the rope that bound the three men, and putting the rope away.
At the next moment when they had just hidden in the storage room, Bruce vigorously pushed open his door and controlled the smart butler to turn on all the lights in the room.
"Who are you?" Bruce's eyes were red with anger when he saw the three people in the corner who had just staggered to their feet.
He rushed into the chamber like an enraged wolfdog, and when he saw the slashed safe, he cursed angrily.
"Don't control them all yet!" The old butler's voice followed.
The three of them were still confused, and when they saw that they were about to be arrested, they immediately started arguing.
Through a thin door panel, Xiao Di and Zhige listened to the movement outside with bated breath.
Because of the small space in the storage room, Xiao Di's whole person was attached to the door panel, and Zhi Ge was standing behind her, and the distance between the two was almost negligible.
As soon as Zhi Ge lowered his head, he could smell the faint woody fragrance on Xiao Di's body, and at the same time, the temperature on Xiao Di's body was also transmitted through the thin layers of clothing.
His brows furrowed slightly, the tips of his ears were a little red, and he turned his head away, as if he was silently enduring something.
Xiao Di didn't look back, so he didn't notice that Zhi Ge was red from his neck to his cheeks at this time.
The noise outside was getting louder.
"Leave them all for me and search them!" Bruce gasped for breath.
The old butler said hello, and the three unlucky ones were tied up.
It wasn't long before Bruce left, the door slammed shut, and the footsteps slowly moved away.
It wasn't until they couldn't hear the voices of Bruce's gang that Xiao Di and Zhi Ge came out of the storage room, formed an invisibility barrier around them, and left the building.
