After binding with the system, I became a super rich and beautiful woman!

"Do not worry."

Xu Lin turned his head and gave Li Zhen a gentle wink.

"Go and see what's in the secret room."

Li Zhen smiled and nodded, then turned around and looked for the light switch on the wall.

This secret room was designed to be very hidden; there wasn't even a small window on any of the four walls.

Therefore, Li Zhen and the others had to turn on the lights or bring flashlights when they came in to look for something.

Li Zhen only had a cell phone in her hand, and the light from the cell phone was much dimmer than that of an electric light, so they couldn't see clearly what was inside the secret room.

They could only see a rough outline.

However, Li Zhen groped around on the wall for a long time but still couldn't find the light switch.

"Is there no light in this secret room?"

"Well, that's quite a possibility."

He Jingyao also groped around on the wall.

As a result, he, like Li Zhen, didn't get to touch anything.

Xu Lin stood on the other side of the wall of the secret room. He groped around for a while, but in the end, he still couldn't find anything.

"It seems there really are no lights in this secret room!"

"Hmm, that's probably it."

"Li Wei, Li Qing, do you have any flashlights there?"

"I have some in my office."

Li Qing quickly raised his hand in response.

“I also have a flashlight in my office.”

"Okay, then you two go to the office and get the flashlights."

"Yes, Chairman."

Li Qing, Li Wei, and even Li Lei all left Li Zhen's office.

They all went to their offices.

After finding the flashlight, the group returned to Li Zhen's office with smiles on their faces.

"Chairman, we've found the flashlight."

"Okay, now turn on all your flashlights, turn them to the brightest setting."

"Okay, Chairman!"

Suddenly, the secret room was filled with light.

With the addition of two high-probability flashlights, the visibility in the escape room is now worlds apart from before.

"Wow!"

Li Zhen looked up and examined the interior of the secret room.

She looked up and saw rows of cabinets on the walls around the secret room.

The cabinet doors are all glass, so you can see what's inside at a glance.

"My goodness, I didn't expect this secret room to be so big."

"Moreover, these rows of cabinets are filled with a dazzling array of handicrafts."

"Hey, didn't you guys notice that these handicrafts look a bit like antiques?"

"antique?"

"Let's get closer and take a closer look."

At Li Zhen's instruction, everyone held up their flashlights and approached the cabinet on the wall.

Through the glass door, everyone could see that each compartment of the cabinet was filled with exquisitely crafted handicrafts.

These handicrafts are made from a variety of materials.

There are ceramic ones.

Some are made of wood.

It contains metal.

There are also handicrafts such as jade carving, paper cutting, and glass.

Among them, ceramics and jade artifacts are the most numerous.

Everyone only dared to watch through the glass; no one dared to reach out and touch it.

"My goodness! There are so many different materials! Do you think these handicrafts might actually be antiques?"

"They look very similar, but we are all laymen and can't tell the difference with the naked eye."

"So... do you know any expert appraisers? Preferably the kind you're on good terms with..."

Li Zhen was afraid that hiring an unfamiliar appraisal expert on short notice would lead to uncontrollable problems.

So if they are acquaintances, they should be able to keep their secrets.

"An expert in appraising antiques? I don't think I know any experts in this field."

"Sorry, I can't help you with that."

After thinking for a moment, Xu Lin apologized to Li Zhen.

Li Qing and the others standing nearby all shook their heads at Li Zhen.

Only He Jingyao stood still and did not speak.

"He Jingyao, you should know some expert appraisers, right?"

After all, among those present, only He Jingyao had a wide network of connections.

He must know some expert appraisers.

"Ah."

He Jingyao nodded and spoke frankly.

"I do know a master appraiser."

Are you familiar with this person?

"Hmm, it looks familiar!"

The kind of familiarity that comes from childhood to adulthood.

He Jingyao added in his mind.

"who is he?"

Li Zhen was so excited she almost jumped up.

Do you know where he is right now?

"I know, but he's not in Kyoto right now."

"Huh? Where is he now?"

He went abroad a few days ago.

"No way? When will he be back?"

"It will probably be another two or three days before I can come back."

"Okay, then I'll wait for him for two or three days."

"Oh."

"By the way, He Jingyao, you still haven't told me who this appraisal master is?"

"He is a man who has been famous in the antique appraisal industry for six or seven years."

"Oh? From what you're saying, this expert appraiser must be quite young, right?"

"Ah."

She's only 27 years old this year, how could she not be young?

How old is he?

"...27."

He Jingyao told the truth anyway.

"Only 27 years old? He's a year younger than you. Are you sure he's very capable?"

Li Zhen expressed some doubt.

"What do you mean by that? You're belittling him while simultaneously belittling me!"

He Jingyao's face immediately fell.

He expressed his displeasure.

"Hehe. No, that's not what I meant, and I didn't mean to belittle you. Really..."

It wasn't that Li Zhen was too proud to believe the 27-year-old appraisal master; rather, in her memory, people who could normally sit in the position of appraisal master were all elderly.

Most of them are appraisal masters in their sixties, seventies, or even eighties.

"So you don't believe what I'm saying?"

"No, no, I believe you, thank you so much!"

"Humph!"

After humming that, He Jingyao fell silent.

He felt very wronged and unhappy.

Unless Li Zhen tries to coax him and say some nice things, he won't say a word today.

"Oh, Mr. He, don't be angry!"

Seeing that He Jingyao seemed unhappy, Li Zhen quickly began to say all sorts of nice things, like she was coaxing a child.

"Look at you, so handsome and good-looking, with an amazing physique, and you're such a kind person, you're truly as perfect as an angel..."

"Can you be a little happier and stop being angry?"

"Hmph! Unless you say I'm the most handsome man in the world."

"Yeah, you're the most handsome man in the world!"

"Hehe. Okay, I forgive you!"

He Jingyao is a man of his word.

I was only childish for a short while.

"Haha, that's great! Mwah!"

What does "么么哒" mean?

"It means I love you and want to kiss you..."

Li Zhen blurted out what was on her mind.

"what?"

To everyone's surprise, He Jingyao thought he had misheard her words.

"What did you just say? Love me? Kiss me? Do you really want to do this to me?"

"No, no, no, you misunderstood! That's not what I meant."

"is it?"

He Jingyao relentlessly walked towards Li Zhen's position and then faced her, looking at each other.
