Chapter 448 - 450 The Best Time to Steal the Antidote 4
Wu Da hesitated for a moment, then quickly took the fruit basket, scratched his head, and smiled awkwardly, "It’s so late, and yet Young Madam still made a trip."
"It’s no problem, Young Master said it’s been almost a month since that person last came, and he’s worried that assassins might come tonight. He asked you to guard the antidote and not let anyone steal it."
"Don’t worry, Young Madam! The antidote is in the secret room, the key is with Young Master, and Young Master has instructed us to guard it for several days now. As long as that person dares to come, they will be caught immediately!"
"Nangong Yaoling wanted to come down himself earlier. He looked a bit tired, so I let him rest while I came over to check." Xia Xiaonuan said, taking out the key from her hand.
"Young Master is worried, so he sent me to check the antidote."
Wu Da hesitated slightly.
He felt something was off but couldn’t pinpoint it, so he simply smiled, "Young Madam, the secret room is just below. I’ll take you down!"
"Alright..." Xia Xiaonuan nodded.
Wu Da handed his things to his subordinates and told them to watch closely. Then he led Xia Xiaonuan inside.
They arrived at an elevator, Wu Da pressed the button, and both entered the elevator.
The elevator descended continuously, seemingly several floors deep. This place was even more guarded than Xia Xiaonuan imagined.
Xia Xiaonuan’s heart was extremely tense, her palms sweaty. Nangong Yaoling wouldn’t wake up until tomorrow morning; she just hoped Qin Yi would return a bit later.
When they exited the elevator, Qin Yi pressed a hidden mechanism, and suddenly, a wall in front of them opened.
A towering iron door with dragon engravings appeared.
Xia Xiaonuan felt like she had stepped into an ancient movie scene with hidden martial arts secrets.
"Young Madam, we’re here."
Xia Xiaonuan looked at Wu Da, "Is the antidote inside?"
"It should be."
Xia Xiaonuan nodded.
She took out a pentagonal key.
For a moment, she didn’t know how to use it.
Wu Da looked at her, "Young Madam, this door has hidden mechanisms." Wu Da said, pointing to the golden dragon’s eye.
The key goes into the eye.
Xia Xiaonuan laughed and quickly said, "Young Master told me earlier, I almost forgot."
She raised the key and placed the pentagon into the eye.
Instantly, a light flashed before her eyes. Xia Xiaonuan raised her hand to shield her eyes.
The diamond on the key glowed brightly, and a few seconds later, the door slowly opened.
Wu Da immediately said, "Young Madam, normally only Young Master and Mr. Qin can come in here. I’m not allowed inside, so I’ll wait outside for you." Saying that, Wu Da turned around and left.
Xia Xiaonuan was stunned for a moment, then snapped back to reality, realizing Wu Da had already disappeared.
Xia Xiaonuan walked into the secret room and descended the steps.
She saw numerous gold boxes. Guns hung on the walls.
On nearby shelves were many bottles and jars filled with various colored liquids and powders.
Xia Xiaonuan looked around but couldn’t find where the antidote was kept.
She felt a bit scared, sensing an eerie atmosphere.
She didn’t dare to touch anything recklessly.
Suddenly, she spotted a cabinet ahead. It had a small drawer; could the antidote be there?
Xia Xiaonuan stepped forward and pulled open the drawer.
Instantly, she was pleasantly surprised.
Indeed, there was a chestnut-colored medicine bottle inside, corked at the top.
Xia Xiaonuan opened it, finding little black pills inside.
She was overjoyed. Quickly, she poured the pills out and wrapped them in paper.
