Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 2204: Chapter 2107: Safe Compartment

"Eh? What’s this?"

Huo Sining couldn’t help but be stunned, instinctively reaching out her hand again.

But this time, she wasn’t reaching for the front of the safe, but the back cover.

When Huo Sining’s hand reached the back cover of the safe, full of wires, she only paused for a few seconds before her expression turned odd, instinctively raising her head to glance at Gu Xu beside her.

Gu Xu became curious: "What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with this safe, could there be some great treasure inside?"

Huo Sining raised an eyebrow: "There’s nothing valuable inside the safe, just some cash, gold bars, and statues, worth about a few hundred thousand."

Gu Xu was puzzled: "Then why do you look like that? Just a few hundred thousand, everyone keeps some money in their safe, is it worth making such a fuss?"

Huo Sining laughed: "The cash and gold bars aren’t the point. I think I’ve discovered a remarkable secret!"

Gu Xu paused, lifting his head to look at Huo Sining, waiting for her to continue.

Huo Sining originally wanted to keep it a mystery, but seeing Gu Xu’s expression, she shrugged and laughed: "Alright, I’ll tell you. I didn’t pay much attention before, but just now, when I touched this safe, I found the problem. Turns out there’s a secret compartment behind the safe. With some tools, we can cut it open and see."

Speaking, Huo Sining started to pace around the safe, her eyes darting around. Finally, she suddenly smirked and laughed:

"This thing’s embedded in the wall. If I hadn’t dug it out, it might have really fooled me! No wonder Tranleva went through so much trouble, placing so many antiques, gold bars, and weapons out front, probably just to distract people! The goal is to make those who enter ignore the secret inside his safe!"

Gu Xu understood why his wife showed such a sly expression just now, becoming even more curious:

"It’s just a compartment, are you that excited? What’s inside, evidence of Tranleva’s crimes? A USB drive, a notebook, or a bomb?"

Huo Sining tilted her head with a mysterious smile, shook her head, and said: "None of those, let’s cut it open first. I just checked, this compartment is specially designed, welded inside the safe. Trying to pull it out from the back won’t work; we’ll need a cutting machine."

If this were in the Magic Capital, Huo Sining’s basement there, cutting open this safe would be difficult because her basement only has stone gambling tools, and not a metal cutting machine.

Gu Xu’s basement is small, but it happens to have this metal cutting machine. Although it’s small, the motor is very strong, and it can cut through any common metal.

Huo Sining drew a circle with chalk on top of the safe, indicating to Gu Xu: "Cut it from here, just slice off the top of the safe and dump out whatever’s inside, no need to go to so much trouble!"

Gu Xu looked up at his wife and couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.

How come he hadn’t realized his wife had become so violent, just slicing off the top of a perfectly good safe, what senseless damage!

Probably Huo Sining got hooked on cutting at the Marede Base earlier, seeing Gu Xu wielding the cutting machine and going at the safe, she was completely unfazed, even excited.

Gu Xu worked swiftly, quickly finishing cutting the safe, and as the sliced top was lifted off, the first thing seen was stacks of cash and gold bar statues arranged inside.

Huo Sining wasn’t interested in those, indicating for Gu Xu to slide the safe over, directly tipping it over to dump everything inside.

In an instant, the floor was littered with cash and gold bars, lying helter-skelter, and after searching the floor, Huo Sining didn’t find the item she’d seen in the compartment earlier.

Her brow furrowed, quickly leaning over to peer into the safe. As soon as she saw it, she disdainfully pursed her lips, casually grabbing a dagger and reaching into the safe.

The items inside seemed stuck to the compartment wall. Huo Sining spent considerable effort prying them off the wall.

With a thud and the repositioning, the next moment, a thin brocade box fell out of the compartment.

Huo Sining smiled, and Gu Xu raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"This Tranleva isn’t ordinary. He deliberately set up this compartment and hid this item inside, which shows it’s very important to him, far more valuable than the antiques, weapons, and drugs outside!"

Huo Sining analyzed.

Gu Xu nodded in agreement: "This guy is deep-thinking. I previously thought, even if we destroyed his base, once he calms down, he’d definitely try every way to find us, but I didn’t expect he’d go after Harus and even fight him. Thinking now, his anger seemed irrational, probably due to losing something precious, unsettling him."

Huo Sining hadn’t considered that, but listening to Gu Xu, she widened her eyes in disbelief:

"You mean, his fight with Harus was because of what’s hidden inside this safe?"

Gu Xu laughed: "It’s just my guess. The stolen items are indeed valuable, but for a crime lord, such a hit isn’t fatal, no need to jump around like that. Big shots usually anticipate such setbacks. Destroying a secret base shouldn’t provoke such an extensive reaction."

Huo Sining thought carefully and agreed with Gu Xu:

"You’re right, these big shots care about face, wouldn’t want embarrassing situations exposed like this, but Tranleva disregarded his reputation, persistently chasing Harus, clearly losing his senses. The stuff we stole, isn’t enough for such rage, there must be another special reason!"
