Chapter 24 Sneak

Although the hall has 20 floors, only half of it is really open to the public. That is to say, after the passenger ladder reaches the tenth floor, Xu Wendy has to change to climb the stairs, and this climb is not something you can climb if you want...

Ding Dong! When the passenger ladder arrived at the station, Xu Wendy followed two middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes down the elevator. She was lucky today. She caught up with a stone gambling activity in an antique house on the tenth floor. In addition, she was just the right distance and looked at home, so the security guard thought that she was with the two men and did not check her.

The stairwell is at the end of the corridor. According to his style, any details must not be allowed to be missed, so Xu Wendy has reason to believe that there should be someone to guard the stairwell.

It's not easy to come out. It's not that it's better not to reveal your identity. Thinking of this, Xu Wendy did not go straight to the stairwell, but followed the two men into the antique shop.

For Xu Wendy, this hall is so familiar that she is not familiar with it, but it is the first time for her to visit Ming Yuxuan. As for gambling stones, she has heard about it, but she has never participated in it.

Entering the antiques industry, the scene in front of you seems to travel through time and space. The red maple is the wall, the green bamboo is the tile, the carved beams are painted, the agate builds the railings, and the precious jade is made into the beams. Even the waiters are dressed in a navy blue retro cheongsam, embroidered with lifelike flowers and birds on the cuffs, setting off the smiling and beautiful faces, more and more beautiful, elegant...

"Twenty thousand for the first time!" The melodious voice of the auctioneer suddenly came from inside. The two men in front of Xu Wendy couldn't help but speed up their pace.

Arounding the beautiful scenery of carved railings and jade, there is a small auction room of about 50 square meters. Xu Wendy glanced at him without a familiar face, and the little worry in his heart gradually fell to the ground.

If it comes, it will be safe. Xu Wendy found an empty seat in the corner and sat down. His eyes seemed to be paying attention to the auction table, but in fact, his thoughts had drifted to the outside. If she is sure that there is a guard in the stairwell, she can only detour from the outside to her destination, or... sneak into the secret channel?

"Twenty thousand for the third time! Congratulations to this gentleman!" The auctioneer made a final sound, and a young man who looked a little thin got the first original stone auctioned today.

Next is the expected Kaishi valuation. While everyone's eyes were focused on the auction table, Xu Wendy quietly moved to the window.

She really doesn't have much confidence in this body. Not to mention climbing to the seventeenth floor, she feels uncertain even on the first floor. If it really doesn't work, I have to take risks.

Hiss -, the cutting instrument made a sharp sound as soon as it touched the stone. Soon, the fist-sized raw stone was cut in half. In a burst of boos, Xu Wendy knew that the young man had made money.

Inside the original stone is emerald, green and shiny. Xu Wendy only glanced at it and knew that it would be at least tenfold.

Sure enough, someone immediately offered a million yuan to buy this raw stone. Unexpectedly, the young man was also a knowledgeable person. He smiled and refused all gracefully.

According to the rules, the auction will be escorted by the auction house to the place designated by the customer, but the young man asked to take it away on the spot, so it will take a while to inspect the package. Just as everyone was envious and jealous, Xu Wendy had already walked out of the auction room.

If you want to walk around in the corridor, there must be a reason why not. So, Xu Wendy chose a seemingly weak waiter and asked, "Where is the bathroom?"

"When you go out of the door and turn right, you will see it." The service staff's attitude is excellent, even if they are facing a young girl who is not elegantly dressed.

Xu Wendy nodded and thanked him, and quickly walked out of Ming Yuxuan. As far as she knows, there are no other merchants on the tenth floor except this auction house, which means that she should be the only one in the corridor now.

Xu Wendy slipped to the wall and walked fast. In a short time, she came to the door of the stairwell. She leaned against the wall, reached out and took out a small mirror from her pocket, and used the mirror reflection to see the movement in the stairwell from the glass window on the door.

Huh? No one? Xu Wendy raised her eyebrows and bowed to the other side of the door. In the same way, she still didn't see anyone guarding the stairwell.

She doesn't know when he became so confident or whether the guard was replaced in the hall. Xu Wendy did not dare to act rashly, and many ideas flashed through his mind. There is no doubt that he will not send someone to guard such an important place. There must be someone inside, but where the guard is is the problem she is facing now, because whether it is climbing the outdoor suspended ladder or diving into the secret passage, she has to pass through the stairwell on the tenth floor, and she must solve the guard in the shortest time. People.

There is no time to waste. Xu Wendy lowered her body and took out a fruit knife with a metal scabbard from her pocket. She looked for it all morning, and she took advantage of this kind of thing and simply came out before going out.

With his back against half a door, with a fierce force, Xu Wendy rolled forward and rolled into the stairwell. With both feet on the ground, he immediately squatted up and looked around.

Well, there is no one on this floor. Xu Wendy secretly took a breath, thinking of his nervousness, and couldn't help but feel funny. In the past, when she encountered difficult things, she would also take action in person, but it was the first time to sneak around on her own territory like this. It was really helpless and ridiculous.

Standing up, Xu Wendy slowly stepped up the steps. No one on this floor does not mean that the stairwell of the whole building is guarded. She should be very careful. Even if the security deployment here is involved in the design, even if she knows the location of each monitor.

Scattered the ponytail, Xu Wendy put the sportswear hat on her head. As long as she didn't look up, those monitors could only shoot below the tip of her nose at most.

After the first paragraph, Xu Wendy stopped under the monitor at the slow platform and listened. There was no movement upstairs. Three seconds later, she suddenly realized that there was no guard in the stairwell, but her every move had been transmitted to the guard center of the hall through the monitor. She also remembered that she had told him that it would be easier to catch turtles in the urn than to spend manpower defense. She didn't expect her advice to be used on herself so quickly.

At this time, turning to the outdoor suspension ladder is equivalent to putting the fish on the cutting board. The only way to get out is to sneak into the secret channel, because there will be no monitoring equipment in the secret channel. He is the only one who can have. Now I can only pray that he is not in the hall.

bang! Just as Xu Wendy was thinking, the door of the stairwell was suddenly knocked open, and then a hurried figure rushed in. In a panic, the two people unconsciously met, and they couldn't help but be stunned.

Is it him?! The young man who just succeeded in gambling at the auction house. Xu Wendy blinked her eyes and was a little panicked.

Shh--the man raised his index finger and motioned Wendy not to make a sound. Then he tightened the box in his arms and rushed downstairs in a panic.

It's not good! Thanks to Wendy's quick reaction, she took two steps and hid in the inner side of the upper step. At the same time, a group of people rushed into the stairwell and shouted while running down the stairs.

- "Take it for nothing, don't let him run away!"

——"Quick! I saw him, chase him!"

Do you dare to gamble in such a place without money? Xu Wendy shook her head and raised a helpless smile at the corners of her mouth.

The entrance of the secret channel is behind the ventilation board of the ceiling. Xu Wendy stepped on the handle of the stairs and pushed the ventilation board to one side with a slight force.

Chu Qiong's physical quality is really not flattering. Xu Wendy spent three times more strength than before climbing into the vent. While gasping for breath, she pushed the ventilator back to its original place. In the narrow space, Xu Wendy began her difficult crawling.

It took a lot of time to delay when he came in, so Xu Wendy did not dare to neglect. Even if his foot hurt, he gritted his teeth and did not rest for a moment.

Counting to the seventh vent, Xu Wendy was so tired that he was sweating. He pushed the ventilation board away with all his strength. He didn't care about the pain in his feet and jumped down directly.

Under the vent is an abandoned conference room, or its abandonment is just a cover-up, because only in this way no one doubts that the walls of the room are dark.

Hiss--, with his feet on the table, Xu Wendy couldn't help taking a cold breath. The wound was probably cracked.

A slight sound came from the vent. Xu Wendy knew that the person who chased her had followed her into the ventilation equipment.

Shit! Xu Wendi cursed, stood up with pain in her feet, and pulled the ventilation board again.

The mechanism of the dark grid is very secret and clever. At the beginning of the design, Xu Wendy asserted that except for the three of them in the world, other people can't find the mechanism to open even if they know that there is a dark grid here.

But because of this big words, Xu Wendy is a little hesitant now. If he is really in the hall, does it mean that he will reveal his identity today? Can he accept her comeback from death?

Forget it, since it is unknown, leave it to fate to arrange it. Thinking of this, Xu Wendy no longer hesitated. He took a step and limped around the conference table.

Although it is an abandoned conference room, cleaners come in regularly to clean it, so there is no heavy dust, and the bonsai placed around the conference table is also a thriving and dense posture.

Xu Wendy slowed down and finally stopped in front of a landscape tree. He stretched out his index finger against a section of scar on the branch. With a little force, the scar actually concave into a small black hole like a sponge. At the same time, a few soft clicks came from under the conference table. The mechanism was triggered, and the dark grid was under the floor.

Bang! Xu Wendy snapped her fingers and ran to the entrance of the dark compartment in a few steps. She stepped on the steps and got in very fast. Just as she lowered her waist and didn't enter the mouth at all, the open floor suddenly bounced again and closed tightly.
