I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life

Xu Congyi was very impatient. Seeing that Shen Xiao was still hesitating about whether to accept her proposal, her anxiety was instantly ignited. She quickly picked up the sportswear and facekini that had been prepared from the chair beside her and stuffed them into Shen Xiao's arms. Then, she pulled Shen Xiao and flashed like a gust of wind, and took Shen Xiao back to his room.

In the room, Xu Cong kept looking at Shen Xiao, his tone revealed an unquestionable firmness: "Don't be afraid with my space here, we are just going to investigate, not to do anything dangerous. Moreover, I heard that although Grand Tutor Tang and the Crown Prince nominally live in the same mansion, they actually live separately. As long as we act carefully, we will definitely not be discovered."

However, Shen Xiao still seemed to have concerns. He hesitated and said, "But..."

Before he could finish his words, Xu Congyi decisively interrupted him: "Don't say buts, just tell me, what time do you go to bed every night? Then I'll come to your room to find you."

Shen Xiao was stunned by Xu Congyi's words. His cheeks flushed instantly and he stammered, "This... this... this is not good..."

Xu Congyi couldn't help but feel a little amused when she saw Shen Xiao's embarrassed look. She rolled her eyes at Shen Xiao and explained, "What are you thinking! What I mean is that if we want to act together, we naturally have to discuss the time and plan. What are you thinking!"

Shen Xiao naturally wanted to go. Seeing Xu Congyi's firm attitude and knowing that his objection was useless, he nodded and agreed.

"Okay, then it's settled." When Xu Cong saw Shen Xiao nod, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, "I'll come to find you at midnight tonight. Remember to be ready, we'll set off quietly." He simply didn't care what time Shen Xiao went to bed, and just found a time when everyone was asleep, which would be more convenient for action.

Shen Xiao nodded, feeling nervous and excited. He knew this operation might be a little risky, but with Xu Congyi by his side, he believed he could handle it.

As night fell, Shen Xiao lay down on the bed early, but his heart was still restless. He kept imagining the upcoming action, feeling both excited and anxious. He was wearing the sportswear Xu Congyi had given him. Although the clothes were a bit strange, they were indeed very convenient for movement, and the all-black color made it easier to hide in the dark.

As soon as midnight arrived, Xu Congyi appeared in Shen Xiao's room on time. She was wearing a black tights and a facekini on her face, and she looked mysterious and capable. She nodded to Shen Xiao, signaling him to get ready.

When Shen Xiao saw her coming, he immediately put on his facekini. The two of them didn't communicate much and went straight into the space. After just a moment, they came to the kitchen of Tang Taishi's temporary residence. The kitchen was dark. The two of them adjusted to the darkness and quietly opened the door. With the faint moonlight and Xu Congyi's keen insight, they slowly walked deeper. Xu Congyi held Shen Xiao's hand tightly and motioned him to follow.

Xu Congyi took out a high-definition infrared thermal imager from her bag and observed it carefully. Although she did not know martial arts and could not compete with those well-trained guards, she believed that her wisdom and these modern scientific and technological tools could make up for this deficiency.

Shen Xiao looked at the thermal imager in Xu Congyi's hand. Although he didn't understand its principle, he was full of trust in his heart. He knew that Xu Congyi was a smart and prepared person, and every item she brought might have its unique use. They walked along the narrow passage, taking every step carefully, for fear of making any noise. Shen Xiao's heart was pounding, and he could feel the warmth of Xu Congyi's palm. At the end of the passage was a tightly closed wooden door. Xu Congyi gently pushed open a gap and carefully observed the situation inside. After confirming that there was no danger, she motioned Shen Xiao to follow her, and the two quickly passed through the wooden door and came to a wide courtyard.

The courtyard was empty, with only a few lanterns swaying in the wind, emitting a faint light. Xu Congyi used an instrument to detect it, and found no one, so it was safe. The two quickly crossed the courtyard and came to the study of Tang Taishi. Because Tang Taishi was temporarily staying in the house of the previous prefect, Shen Xiao had been invited to this house when he passed the imperial examination as the youngest scholar in Qicheng, so he roughly knew the location of the study.

Shen Xiao nodded to Xu Congyi, indicating that there might be something valuable here. Xu Congyi understood, and the two of them walked into the house.

Gently pushing the door open, the two quickly slipped in. The study was filled with bookshelves, piled with various books and scrolls. Xu Congyi and Shen Xiao quickly split up and began to carefully search every corner of the study. Xu Congyi once again used the thermal imaging camera to detect the courtyard, and only after confirming that there was no one did he feel relieved to lead Shen Xiao forward. They crossed the courtyard and came to the study of Tang Taishi. Shen Xiao, as the youngest scholar in Qicheng, had been invited here before, so he had a general understanding of the location of the study.

Shen Xiao nodded to Xu Congyi, indicating that there might be something valuable here. Xu Congyi understood what he meant and walked towards the study carefully. They pushed open the door, and a smell of old books filled their noses. The study was filled with bookshelves and ancient books, and some famous calligraphy and paintings were hung on the walls. The whole space was filled with a strong cultural atmosphere.

The two began to act separately, carefully searching every corner of the study. Shen Xiao came to the bookshelf and flipped through the books and scrolls one by one, looking for clues that might be related to the relationship between Grand Tutor Tang and the Crown Prince. Xu Congyi used an infrared thermal imaging camera to detect temperature changes in the study, looking for possible hidden compartments or secret rooms.
