Chapter 269: Exciting and thrilling
Chapter 269 Exciting and Thrilling
Since Shangguan Ling is on a business trip, she might be able to give it a try.
Shen Ruoxi returned to the bedroom. She tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. She was waiting silently...
Waiting for the opportunity.
Later in the night, around three o'clock in the morning.
At this point, there will be relatively few servants and maids on duty in the castle.
Bodyguard patrols also have time periods. As long as she sneaks into the study during the time when the two groups of bodyguards take over, nothing will be a problem.
Shen Ruoxi left the bedroom, looked around, and tiptoed to the study.
She opened the door and ducked into the study.
She didn't dare to turn on the light, so she took out the small flashlight in her hand and turned it on.
With the light of the flashlight, she began to search in the huge study room.
The study is an important place. On weekdays, no one is allowed to enter without Shangguan Ling's permission.
Even daily cleaning by servants must be carried out under the supervision of bodyguards.
So, Shen Ruoxi made a bold guess that the safe was probably in the study room.
There was a valuable oil painting hanging on the wall. She pushed it gently but could not move it away.
It seems impossible to be inside the wall.
Shangguan Ling's bookshelf is filled with all kinds of classic books, as many as a wall and as high as the ceiling.
If you want to get to the topmost books, you have to borrow a ladder.
A whole wall of books is really suspicious...
In the study, it was so quiet that I could hear my own heartbeat.
Shen Ruoxi was so nervous that she was sweating profusely. She clutched the flashlight with one hand and flipped through the bookshelf with the other, trying to find something wrong.
There were footsteps outside the door. She was shuddered. She looked at the desk and subconsciously hid under the desk.
The next second, the study door opened.
The bright lights illuminated the entire huge study room.
“Is there something wrong?”
The voice of the bodyguard was accompanied by the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer.
The bodyguards checked around. Shen Ruoxi hid under the desk and held her breath. The sweat in her palms made her unable to hold the flashlight and almost took it out.
The heart beats violently, almost wanting to jump out of the chest.
The bodyguard came behind the desk, and Shen Ruoxi's heart suddenly rose to her throat.
Worry, fear, panic…
Various emotions intertwined and entangled in his eyes, and finally gradually collapsed.
“Nothing.” The bodyguard changed direction and walked out.
The lights went out and the study became dark.
Click.
The study door is closed.
Shen Ruoxi let out a long breath and collapsed on the ground. She was scared to death...
I thought I would be caught red-handed by the bodyguards.
What a blessing!
The bodyguard left the study, looked at each other, and stood guard at the door of the study for more than an hour before leaving.
At the same time, the man in black also informed Jiang Chuan of the news immediately: "Shen Ruoxi took action. At three forty in the morning, she sneaked into the young master's study."
“You didn’t alarm her, did you?”
“We followed the young master’s order and did not alarm her. Instead, we pretended that we didn’t know what to do and patrolled her as usual.”
“That’s good, you continue to observe and don’t alert the enemy.”
"yes!"
There were bodyguards standing outside the door. Shen Ruoxi didn't dare to make any move. She didn't quietly leave the study until the footsteps disappeared and she confirmed that no one was outside the door.
Hurry and hid in the bedroom.
Tonight is exciting and thrilling.
Although she gained nothing, it gave her great confidence.
She believed that she would be able to find the design drawings!
…
The next day.
