Starting with a cub, the superpower boss becomes the richest man by lying flat

Chapter 59: There can be earthquakes in space!

Lin Xin hid her figure and hurried across the rooftop, looking for the most luxurious building in the entire mansion, which must be Feng Xing's yard.

Sure enough, she found the target building in the very center of the entire mansion. It was decorated with golden bricks and green tiles, carved beams and painted rafters, jade floors and golden beams. Every detail was luxurious and high-profile.

Even the servants and maids walking around in the yard were dressed very unusually. There were also many guards who patrolled the yard from time to time. They were all tall and had fat faces, and they didn't look like good people.

Lin Xin curled her lips. To be able to build such a house and support so many people, she wondered how much of the people's money he had extorted, how much military supplies he had withheld, and how much disaster relief money he had embezzled. He was indeed a damned person.

She avoided the patrolling guards and lightly jumped onto the roof of what was suspected to be Feng Xing's study, lifted the tiles and looked down.

The first thing you see is a set of rosewood desks and chairs, on which are placed the four treasures of the study and a topaz paperweight. You can tell at a glance that they are very expensive.

After removing another tile, only the lower half of a four-panel screen could be seen.

There was no one in sight. Lin Xin held her breath and listened carefully, but she didn't hear anyone breathing. The room seemed empty.

She was just about to peel off two more tiles to make a hole for herself to jump down, when she heard a slight creaking sound and the sound of footsteps.

Lin Xin was crouching on the roof, her face pressed against the gap between the tiles, when she saw a gray head approaching from behind a chair.

The man seemed to be in a hurry about something, so he walked straight to the door, opened it and went out.

She waited for a while, but no one came in. After thinking about it, she enlarged the hole in the roof and jumped into the house.

Lin Xin's goal was very clear. As soon as she landed, she turned around and looked behind the chair. She found that it was a whole wall of bookshelves that reached the ceiling. It was filled with books and some small ornaments.

Thinking of the teeth-grinding "creaking" sound just now, Lin Xin reasonably suspected that there should be a secret room or a secret passage behind the bookshelf.

She walked up to the bookshelf, observed it, and tried to turn the small handles on it, but she couldn't find the mechanism after trying them one by one.

"No! What else could it be if not these?" Lin Xin started pulling out books from the first compartment and stuffing them back in, while her mind was frantically thinking about the descriptions of the secret room mechanism in the study in the novels she had read before. It was not until she took out and stuffed back most of the books in the bookshelf that she thought of something. She turned her eyes to the landscape painting hanging on the wall opposite the door.

She stuffed the book in her hand back, took two steps to the front of the painting, took out a pair of disposable plastic gloves from the space and put them on, then carefully opened the painting from bottom to top.

In the middle of the wall behind the painting, a red button looks particularly bright against the snow-white wall.

She took a step forward, raised her hand and pressed the button. A familiar creaking sound was heard. She turned around and saw that the bookshelf was slowly split in half from the middle and opened to both sides.

Lin Xin was excited. A secret room! A secret passage! This was the first time she had seen one!

I don’t know if it is filled with gold, silver and treasures as described in the novel. If it is, then her dream of being a salted fish can be realized ahead of time!
While thinking, she walked over. Just as one foot stepped into the passage between the two bookshelves, she heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from outside the door, and there was more than one person coming.

Lin Xin was stunned for a moment, then decisively rushed into the aisle. In her haste, her elbow bumped against the back of a bookshelf, causing her to shudder in pain.

While I was rubbing my arms, the two bookshelves closed silently, without making any sound at all.

Lin Xin heaved a sigh of relief and hid behind the bookshelf, listening to the noise outside.

"Huh? Where are the people? Why is it empty?" said a slightly shrill voice.

"Yes! Didn't they say that an outsider entered the Grand Tutor's study?" This time the voice sounded a bit honest.

Then there was another sound of rustling cloth, and then a steady but somewhat gloomy voice said: "Someone has indeed entered the study. You stay here and I will report to the Grand Tutor." Lin Xin in the corridor thought to herself that she was careless and left traces that were seen by others.

But she was not afraid. If things really went wrong, she still had space to hide and would definitely not be discovered.

Soon, someone else came into the study, and with him came an angry voice: "Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on the study? Why did you let people in? Do I keep you bunch of losers just to eat?"

"Grand Master, I have checked the footprints on the ground. The person who came should be a petite and thin person, most likely a woman." said the steady and dark voice.

"A woman?" The Grand Tutor's voice was filled with rage. "A group of men like you couldn't possibly keep an eye on a woman? You actually let someone enter my study right under your noses? Hmm?"

"Master, the person didn't come in through the door, but from..." He didn't say the rest of the words, but Lin Xin knew that he must have discovered the tiles on the roof that she had lifted up.

Then, the man spoke again: "Grand Master, according to my judgment, that person should not have left the study yet. Do you want to..."

A moment later, two footsteps were heard walking out the door, and they closed the door after leaving.

Lin Xin reluctantly entered the space. Fortunately, although she couldn't see the situation outside, she could hear the sounds.

After a series of creaking sounds, the bookshelf was opened again.

"Grand Master, please allow me to go in first." said a steady voice.

"it is good."

The footsteps as he walked into the passage were light, but each step was rhythmic and steady. He must be a master, Lin Xin thought.

The man walked past Lin Xin and went back inside. After turning around, he came back. This time, he was no longer calm when he spoke, but instead had a hint of uncertainty. "Master, there's no one inside..."

"no one?"

"I am absolutely certain that someone has entered the secret room. There is absolutely no mistake."

"Where's that person? Disappeared out of thin air?"

"This...I don't know either."

This "I don't know" completely angered the Grand Tutor, who kicked the man. "I don't know? You actually told me you don't know? Did I spend so much money just for you to tell me you don't know? You're useless! You're all useless! Find it for me. If you can't find it, you don't need to live anymore. Go!"

When the man was kicked, Lin Xin could hear a loud "bang". You have to know that the Grand Tutor is not young at all, and he is also a civil servant who doesn't know martial arts. But he could kick so loudly, which shows how angry he is.

"Does this mean there's something in here he doesn't want others to know?" Lin Xin thought, rubbing her chin. "Should I wait until there's no one around and then go in and look for him? Or should we just go and kill him now that we're alone?"

Just as she was thinking this, there was a sudden shock under her feet and the whole space began to shake.

"Holy shit, there can be earthquakes in space!" Lin Xin quickly squatted down to lower her center of gravity, and began to ponder in her mind.

This space has been with her since her previous life and has never caused any trouble. What's happening now?
