Chapter 41 Safe
As they chatted, the room gradually fell silent.
Yao Xiwei fell asleep.
She curled up in the blanket, her breathing becoming long and even.
A stubborn tuft of hair that had been sticking up on his head was now lying limply on his forehead.
She was sleeping soundly, with a trace of drool hanging from the corner of her mouth, and she would occasionally smack her lips, as if she were dreaming of something delicious.
In the darkness, Su Changming opened his eyes and slowly sat up.
He turned his head and glanced at the girl's unguarded sleeping face, and his heart softened.
He gently lifted the covers and got out of bed with delicate movements.
The reason he hesitated to stay was not only because of the issue of the separation of men and women, but more importantly because he really had things to do.
From Ron's memories, he learned that Rossi was not in Shenghai at the time, and that he had killed the three people who were responsible for guarding the house.
At this point, it would be a disservice to his hard work if he didn't sneak into someone's house.
He was originally going to go on the spot.
However, considering that Yao Xiwei's condition was really bad at the time.
If I take her with me, and the other side has left some kind of trap or other backup plan, I will have to protect her and fight the enemy at the same time, which will inevitably restrict my actions.
Things are inanimate, but people are alive.
Nature prioritizes saving lives.
Now that the people have been settled and the night is deep, it is the perfect time for murder and arson... no, it is the perfect time to act on behalf of Heaven.
He picked up a pen and a notepad from the bedside table and quickly wrote a line.
Leave a message for Yao Xiwei, telling her where he is going, so that she won't have any strange thoughts when she wakes up the next morning.
After doing all this, he turned around and pushed open the door to leave.
downstairs.
The jet-black Ford V8 luxury car sat there quietly.
Su Changming opened the car door, skillfully started the engine, and shifted gears.
The engine let out a deep, powerful roar, the wheels rolled over the puddles, splashing up two sprays of water, and sped off toward the French Concession.
Two o'clock in the morning.
The core villa area of the French Concession.
Security measures here have always been strict, especially in this area where foreign firm executives and consulate leaders live. On weekdays, there are even fully armed police officers patrolling with wolfhounds.
However, upon seeing the familiar black luxury car and its license plate, they let it pass without hesitation.
Su Changming stepped on the gas pedal expressionlessly and finally came to a steady stop in front of the European-style villa covered with ivy.
He got out of the car and immediately looked at the ground at the entrance.
The three headless corpses that were originally lying there have now vanished without a trace.
Not only the corpses, but also the bloodstains and traces of battle on the ground were cleaned up thoroughly.
It seems that Yao Xiwei made a phone call to the Demon Suppression Division while he was taking a shower.
The efficiency is indeed astonishingly high.
He took out the keychain he had taken from Ron earlier, picked out the largest brass key, and inserted it into the lock of the villa door.
With a click, the door opened.
A scent of aged wood and expensive perfume wafted towards me.
The interior of this villa was larger than it appeared from the outside, and several times more luxurious than his own small villa.
The floor was covered with a thick Persian red carpet, which made no sound when you stepped on it.
The walls are covered with brightly colored oil paintings, mostly in the medieval style, with dark and eerie scenes and figures with painful and distorted expressions.
Su Changming didn't have time to appreciate these works of art.
With a clear goal in mind, he used the fragments of Ron's and Xiao Hei's memories to walk straight through the living room, up the spiral staircase to the second floor, and headed straight for the master bedroom at the end of the corridor.
That was Duke Rossi's boudoir.
Normally, apart from the twin maids, even Ron is not allowed to step into the room freely.
Push open the door.
A decadent atmosphere wafted over.
A deep red curtain hung over the enormous four-poster bed, and the dressing table was filled with various expensive jewels.
Various silk garments were scattered about, along with some lace lingerie with very little fabric...
Su Changming frowned and subconsciously looked away.
Although both are women's rooms, Yao Xiwei's is much warmer and cleaner.
He ignored the priceless jewels.
After walking around the room, I finally stopped in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling oil painting.
The painting depicts the Duke of Rossi.
She sat on the throne, dressed in a scarlet gown, swirling a glass of red wine in her hand, her eyes haughty and indifferent.
"It's right behind here..."
Su Changming reached out and grabbed the edge of the picture frame, then pulled hard.
"Clatter, clatter—"
With a dull mechanical whirring sound, the oil painting slowly moved aside, and a huge safe rose out from the wall.
The safe was entirely black, with no keyhole, only a complex mechanical dial engraved with various Western alchemical runes.
Clearly, this is a product of the combination of Western alchemy and modern mechanical technology.
Su Changming sneered.
He drew the Remnant Snow Sword directly from his waist.
"Clang!"
A flash of cold light.
Su Changming gripped the handle with both hands, channeling all the power of a ninth-rank martial artist's blood and qi, and slammed it down fiercely at the safe!
"clang--!!!"
A deafening roar.
Sparks flew everywhere, and Su Changming felt a tingling sensation in his hand, almost causing his longsword to fly out of his grasp.
Take a closer look.
On the black metal surface, only a faint white mark remained!
Moreover, a layer of runes on the surface of the safe lit up for a moment, seemingly dissipating most of the impact.
"Such a hard turtle shell..."
Su Changming rubbed his slightly sore wrist, looking somewhat embarrassed.
That's a bit embarrassing.
He sneaked into our house in the middle of the night, but couldn't even open a single box. If word got out, what would become of his reputation as a sword master!
Su Changming took a deep breath and put away his contempt.
Since I can't do it myself, I'll just use cheat codes!
He began to call upon the all-powerful bell.
The girl simply hummed softly, and then a familiar and vast golden energy surged into Su Changming's body through an invisible channel.
He opened his eyes, and a faint golden light flashed across them.
Then, he raised the Broken Snow Sword in his hand once more.
A faint golden sword intent swirled around the sword.
"cut!"
Su Changming gave a low shout.
There was no earth-shattering noise this time.
The longsword sliced into the hard, specially made alloy as silently as if it were cutting tofu.
Soon, the heavy safe door, along with the alchemical runes on it, was split in two, the cut as smooth as a mirror.
"call……"
With a single swing of the sword, that invincible power receded like a receding tide.
Su Changming's body swayed slightly.
It didn't collapse like it did last time.
After all, he had absorbed three ninth-grade remnant souls, which greatly increased his soul power.
Although this attack was extremely taxing, it was still within his tolerance range, and he even had some energy left over.
"I've gotten stronger..."
Su Changming clenched his fist with some relief, then turned his gaze to the inside of the broken safe.
There were no mountains of gold bars or any confidential documents inside.
In the center of the empty cabinet, only one thing was quietly placed.
A black box.
