It Started With a Kiss: Leng Shao's Beloved Wife

Wu Xinyan calmly memorized the information on the fragments in her mind - "West wing, wall, secret compartment."

She held Luo Yichen's hand tightly, her fingertips gently stroking his palm, silently conveying her plan.

Luo Yichen received the message she conveyed, a gleam of light flashed in his deep eyes, and then he regained his composure.

He feigned composure and tried to negotiate with Fourth Uncle Luo: "Fourth Uncle, since you say this will is fake, then we might as well investigate it slowly. Xinyan just wants to see if there's anything missing, so why are you so nervous?"

Upon hearing this, Fourth Uncle Luo narrowed his eyes cunningly, looking back and forth between Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan, with suspicions rising in his heart.

He waved his hand pretending to be generous: "In that case, let her go find it. But I remind you, don't waste time doing useless work." He secretly winked at the men behind him, indicating that they should keep a close eye on Wu Xinyan.

While everyone's attention was on Luo Yichen and Fourth Uncle Luo, Wu Xinyan quietly left the warehouse and walked towards the west wing in her memory.

She walked lightly, trying not to make any noise, and moved through the corridors of the old house like a nimble cat.

However, Uncle Luo's men were no pushovers either. They quickly discovered Wu Xinyan's intentions and followed closely, trying to stop her.

Wu Xinyan felt someone was following her, and knowing something was wrong, she quickened her pace.

She dodged into a cluttered room, held her breath, and listened to the footsteps passing by the door.

After the footsteps faded away, she cautiously came out of the room and continued to move towards the west wing.

The layout of the old house was intricate, like a huge maze. Wu Xinyan almost got lost several times, but she never gave up. Relying on her memory and intuition, she approached her goal step by step.

She finally found the west wing, pushed open the heavy wooden door, and a dusty smell hit her in the face.

The room was dimly lit, the furniture was covered with thick cloth, and there was a suffocating sense of oppression in the air.

Wu Xinyan took a deep breath and began to carefully search for the wall and secret compartment according to the information on the fragments.

"What are you doing?!" A rough voice suddenly rang out. Wu Xinyan was startled and turned around suddenly. She saw one of Uncle Luo's men standing at the door, staring at her fiercely.

He approached step by step, with a malicious smile on his face: "Mr. Luo has instructed that you are not allowed to touch anything here." Wu Xinyan's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. She knew that she had been discovered...

She forced herself to remain calm and tried to maintain a calm tone: "I was just...looking around..."

"Just looking around?" The subordinate sneered, grabbed Wu Xinyan's wrist, dragged her to the wall, and said viciously: "Do you think we are all fools? Tell me the truth, what are you looking for?!"

Wu Xinyan bit her lips and said nothing.

At this moment, a cold voice came from outside the door: "It seems that our young lady is really determined to fight to the death..." Lawyer Gao appeared at the door, with a sinister smile on his face, and slowly walked into the room...

Lawyer Gao smiled sinisterly, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue: "Fourth Uncle, this young lady is so persistent, I'm afraid she has discovered some clues. In my opinion, why not..." He leaned close to Fourth Uncle Luo's ear and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, Fourth Uncle Luo's eyes lit up, and a greedy smile appeared on his face: "Good idea! Let's do it!" He turned to Notary Liu and said with a sad face: "Notary Liu, you have seen that my niece-in-law has been restless and opposed me since she married into the old house. Now she has even trespassed into the restricted area of ​​​​the old house. This clearly shows that she does not take me seriously! I suspect that she has ulterior motives and intends to steal family secrets! For the benefit of the family, I have to ask you to expel her from the old house!"

Luo Yichen was furious. "Fourth Uncle! You're slandering me! Xinyan just wanted to find out the truth. How can you say she stole secrets? You're twisting right and wrong like this. Where's your conscience?!" He pulled a stack of documents from his pocket and slammed them on the table. "This is evidence of your embezzlement of company funds over the years! What else do you have to say?!"

Fourth Uncle Luo's face changed, but he quickly regained his composure. He sneered, "What nonsense! These are all forged! Notary Liu, please don't believe him! He's deliberately framing me to fight for the family fortune!"

Notary Liu was confused by this sudden change. He looked around and couldn't tell who was right or wrong for a moment.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Please calm down, both of you. If you have anything to discuss, let's discuss it properly..."

At this moment, Wu Xinyan flipped her wrist and broke free from the grip of her subordinates. She pointed to an inconspicuous wooden box in the corner of the room and said sternly, "The truth is there!"

Wu Xinyan's eyes were fixed on the inconspicuous wooden box in the corner.

Its surface was covered with a thick layer of dust, as if it had been sleeping there for a long time.

Her intuition told her that this was what she was looking for.

She rushed over quickly and opened the lid of the wooden box, revealing a secret compartment.

However, the secret compartment is equipped with a combination lock, which firmly guards the secret inside.

"Damn it!" Wu Xinyan cursed, her heart pounding.

She began to try to crack the code, her slender fingers dancing rapidly on the combination lock.

She tried Luo Yichen's birthday, their wedding anniversary, and even her own birthday, but to no avail.

As time passed, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and two of Uncle Luo's men rushed in aggressively.

Without saying a word, they rushed towards Wu Xinyan and tried to destroy the secret compartment.

Wu Xinyan fought hard, but how could a weak woman like her be a match for two burly men?

She was thrown heavily to the ground, leaving a deep bloody scratch on her arm. The piercing pain made her gasp.

"Stop!" Luo Yichen roared, rushed into the room, grabbed one of his men by the collar, and threw him against the wall.

"If you dare to touch her, I will make you pay for it!"

Amidst the chaos, Wu Xinyan suddenly had an idea.

password……

Could it be related to Luo Yichen?

She remembered that Luo Yichen once said that his lucky number was his birthday month.

She trembled as she entered the month and date of Luo Yichen's birthday...

With a click, the secret compartment slowly opened...

"What's inside?" Lawyer Gao's voice trembled slightly, and his greedy eyes stared at the opened secret compartment.
