1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 737 Anyway, he's just the scapegoat
Only then did they discover that the steel bar inside was actually in two pieces, and without the wooden strip protecting it, it had separated completely.

Another sigh escaped his lips. It seemed things wouldn't go as he wished; he probably couldn't push the drawer back in.

Oh well, let's see what happens.

Feeling quite annoyed, knowing that someone would find out sooner or later anyway, she stopped being careful and directly broke off the steel bar. But this act of breaking it off led her to discover something new.

The exposed steel bar on the short street looked like a key, with two protrusions at the bottom. It could be retracted when pressed. Its size was about the same as the hole under the mechanism. Her heart started pounding, and her hand, which was pulling the steel bar out, almost wouldn't obey her.

Once she held it in her hand, she immediately understood. The two protruding parts were exposed and unsupported by wooden strips. It just so happened that the place was a joint, and perhaps because it had been too long, the wooden strip broke because Chu Xue exerted so much force.

It really is all about timing and fate, haha.

It flipped over so quickly.

Reactivate the mechanism, revealing the hole below again. Insert the steel bar from your hand, turn it to the right, and you'll hear a squeaking sound.

The steel plate on the ground suddenly opened up to both sides.

After it was fully opened, it was still pitch black underneath; only the steel plate underneath had been removed.

She couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Damn it, this isn't over yet."

He took out a pair of cotton gloves from his spatial storage, put them on, knelt down, stretched his arms under, and groped around for a while before finally discovering a small dot the size of a mung bean on a corner near the wall. If it weren't for his sharp eyesight, anyone else probably wouldn't have noticed it.

Because that tiny dot, about the size of a mung bean, blends in with the color below, it's really hard to tell the difference.

He pressed it in hard, and the bottom started squeaking again.

For safety's sake, Chuxue pulled her head back. Only after the area below was fully open and she found no danger did she stick her head out again.

Although it was still pitch black, the airflow could be clearly felt.

After waiting upstairs for about fifteen or sixteen minutes, he wasn't idle during that time. He collected all the grain, tobacco, alcohol, cloth, daily necessities, and two large boxes from the other side of the main room into his spatial storage. He truly lived up to his reputation as the second-in-command of the Red Committee. It seemed that the man surnamed Yao might not actually know what was in that secret room. After all, half of the two large boxes he had just put into his spatial storage contained cash, at least tens of thousands of yuan, and the rest was filled with gold and silver jewelry, jade artifacts, and antiques.

After all, Yao Qidong hasn't been in this position for very long, and this amount of money must be all his wealth.

Returning to the entrance of the secret room, I took out a flashlight from my spatial storage and looked down, only to find there were no steps.

It must be at least eight or nine meters deep to jump down from the hole, and anyone who is even slightly overweight would not be able to get down into it. I don’t know how they managed to put those slightly larger boxes down there.

Although he was fairly skilled, he still lowered a rope down as a precaution, just in case something strange happened and he couldn't get back up, which would be disastrous.

Since I failed to receive the item remotely before, it's better to be cautious.

He took a wooden bowl he had collected earlier from his spatial storage and threw it down. After confirming that there was nothing unusual below, he jumped down along the rope that had been tied to it.

I tried opening one box and found there was no danger, so I didn't open any more. After all, I had already wasted a lot of time, and it would be too rushed to open another box any later.

After confirming that there were no other mechanisms below, he climbed up the rope to the ground, restored the area to its original state, destroyed the mechanism in the drawer, and then pushed the drawer back in by brute force.

Whether the drawer can be opened in the future is not her concern.

After leaving the courtyard, seeing that the person who had been ambushed was still alive, he directly poured several mouthfuls of water from the spatial pool into him to ensure that he was kept alive before taking the other person into his spatial storage and taking him away.

As for how to deal with him, there's no time to consider that now.

Anyway, he's the scapegoat.

After confirming that all traces of himself had been removed, he hurriedly left for his next destination.
