Old Gehrman's face was filled with madness, while the others looked terrified. Monica couldn't help but close her eyes, her face full of despair.
However, a few seconds later, the violent explosion that everyone had imagined did not happen. The scene was dead silent.
Monica couldn't help but open her eyes, only to see that everyone was equally stunned. Old Gehrman looked as if he had seen a ghost. He kept pressing the button of the remote control, while Xia Ruofei still had a faint smile on his face, watching calmly.
When they first learned that there were a lot of explosives buried under the house, everyone except Xia Ruofei felt their hearts twitch when they saw Old Gehrman's finger move.
But now, seeing his exaggerated actions, they felt that it was funny no matter how they looked at it.
Old Gehrman's heart was also broken.
He wasn't bluffing, and it wasn't that he couldn't bear to die at the last moment. In fact, no matter how hard he pressed, the button wouldn't budge. He couldn't press it at all.
Wasn't this a ghost?
Xia Ruofei seemed to be watching a show. He looked at Old Gehrman with a smile on his face. After a while, he stepped toward him.
Old Gehrman saw this and shouted in horror, "Don't come over! I'll press it if you come any closer! "
Monica couldn't help but laugh and say, "Haven't you pressed it a few times already? Why hasn't it exploded yet? "
The brothers of the Hong Sect couldn't help but burst into laughter. The originally tense and even tragic atmosphere was suddenly destroyed.
Xia Ruofei walked in front of Old Gehrman and said in a coaxing tone, "Be good, this thing is very dangerous. Let me keep it!"
After that, Xia Ruofei slowly opened Old Gehrman's fingers and took the remote control in his hand.
Old Gehrman stood there in a daze like a person who had been cast a spell. He didn't resist at all. It wasn't until Xia Ruofei turned around and left that he collapsed to the ground as if his spine had been pulled out.
Xia Ruofei put the remote control into his pocket. In fact, he put it in the Ring-Tu space to completely cut off the signal.
He knew very well that Old Gehrman was not bluffing. There were indeed a lot of explosives buried underground. Just now, Old Gehrman had only used his mental power to control objects remotely to lock the button. Therefore, even if Old Gehrman used all his strength, it was impossible for him to press that button.
Now that he had snatched the remote control, if he accidentally touched the remote control, it was very likely that there would be an earth-shattering explosion. Even if he was a Qi Refining stage cultivator, it would be very difficult for him to escape.
Therefore, it was safer to keep it in the space.
Xia Ruofei looked at Lv Zhengfeng and asked, "Zhengfeng, what's the situation outside?"
"Sir, Gehrman Manor is under our control!" Lv Zhengfeng said excitedly, "From tonight onwards, the Gehrman Family will no longer exist in Turin!"
He really couldn't restrain his excitement. Since he followed Lui Hai, Lv Zhengfeng had been operating in Turin City for several years. However, the results of these years were not as good as tonight's.
It could be said that after tonight, the Turin Branch of the Hong Sect would be the real boss of the underground world of Turin City. Its strength and territory would more than double.
This feeling was really cool!
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Ask your people to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible! Let's evacuate as soon as possible! Maybe the police will come and join in the fun. Who knows? "
"Yes!" Lv Zhengfeng said.
"By the way, you don't have to clean up the surveillance cameras!" Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "Pick the valuable and useful things and take them away!"
Lv Zhengfeng was stunned for a moment. However, due to his fanatical worship of Xia Ruofei — after tonight's event, he was definitely Xia Ruofei's crazy fan — he would definitely carry out Xia Ruofei's order without hesitation.
Therefore, Lv Zhengfeng immediately passed down the order. The members of the Freemasons began to clean up the battlefield in the spacious manor. There were still small skirmishes in some places. Some people hid in the beginning and did not take advantage of the chaos to escape.
But overall, the general situation was set.
On the other side, Lv Zhengfeng's trusted subordinates had also captured Old Gehrman, his housekeepers and bodyguards.
Although Old Gehrman was still alive, he was like a walking corpse. No matter how the brothers of the Hong Sect tied him up, he didn't resist at all.
While the brothers of the Hong Sect were cleaning up the battlefield, Xia Ruofei didn't stay idle. He squatted in front of Old Gehrman and said with interest, "Mr. Gehrman, I heard that the big families in Europe all have treasure rooms. I'm also very interested in the treasure room of your Gehrman Family! I wonder if you can show us around? "
Old Gehrman glanced coldly at Xia Ruofei, then closed his eyes without saying a word. Apparently, he had lost all desire to live.
Xia Ruofei felt bored. He looked at Rossi, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and asked with a smile, "Rossi, if there is a treasure room in this house, where do you think it is most likely to be?"
Old Gehrman originally looked like he had nothing to live for. His eyes were closed tightly, but after hearing Xia Ruofei's words, he couldn't help but open his eyes and look at Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei didn't seem to see Old Gehrman and continued to look at Rossi with a smile.
Rossi, too, looked at the room with interest.
This was the most luxurious building in the manor. The first floor was a tall hall, very spacious, and the furnishings were also quite luxurious. Beautiful sculptures, expensive oil paintings, shiny crystal lamps … It was really not an easy thing to find a treasure room in such a place.
What's more, this was just Xia Ruofei's statement. It was very likely that there was no treasure room here.
However, Rossi took it as an interesting game. He carefully observed everything in the room and analyzed where the treasure room would be located if there was a treasure room.
It must be the most unexpected place. Perhaps it was right under everyone's eyes, but it was easy to ignore.
Seeing Rossi's serious look, Lui Hai and others couldn't help but become interested and joined in the game.
"Sir, I think it might be behind that bookshelf!" Rossi said, "This is obviously a reception room. It seems unreasonable to put a bookshelf with a height of a few meters …"
Lv Zhengfeng, whose English was good, immediately retorted, "It's obviously unreasonable. Otherwise, wouldn't it be easy to be discovered?"
"Then where do you think it will be?" Rossi asked unwillingly.
After looking for a long time, he felt that the bookshelf was the most likely. As for other places, it was impossible to set up a treasure room.
"Maybe it's inside this wall!" Lv Zhengfeng said, "But it needs to be measured inside and outside the room to see how big the value difference is. If it's big, it means there's a hidden space!"
Lui Hai ran over and knocked on the wall, saying, "It's solid. It's impossible! I think if there's a treasure room, it might be underground, or … in these pillars? I feel that these pillars are too thick, and they look a little out of place … "
Hearing the discussion of Lui Hai and the others, Old Gehrman curled his lips imperceptibly. Then, he recovered his hopeless look immediately.
Xia Ruofei also saw Old Gehrman's disdainful expression. He glanced at him with a smile and said, "You're all so imaginative!"
Lui Hai grinned, "Anyway, our brothers are still cleaning up. We have nothing to do anyway! By the way, you're the one who suggested it. You haven't guessed it yet! "
Everyone focused their eyes on Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei smiled, saying, "You've all put forward a lot of good ideas. Actually, what you said is …"
Just when everyone thought that Xia Ruofei was going to say, "Everything makes sense," he changed the topic and said, "Everything is wrong!"
After that, Xia Ruofei glanced at the speechless Lui Hai, Lv Zhengfeng and others, asking with a smile, "You must want to know the reason, right?"
Lv Zhengfeng and others nodded.
Xia Ruofei shrugged, saying, "The reason is very simple! Because there's no treasure room in this room … "
"Tsk …" Even if Lv Zhengfeng worshipped Xia Ruofei to the extreme, after hearing this sentence, he could not help but have the impulse to raise his middle finger.
Even Old Gehrman, who had been pretending to be dead, couldn't help opening his eyes, looking at Xia Ruofei with a strange expression.
Xia Ruofei cleared his throat, saying with a smile, "Everyone, do you want to visit Mr. Gehrman's treasure room? Then come with me! "
"Is there really a treasure room?"
"Is it really not in this room?"
Lui Hai and others couldn't help but ask curiously.
Xia Ruofei glanced at Old Gehrman, saying, "Although Gehrman Family hasn't been in Turin for a long time, it's an old Mafia family in Southern Italy. How can it not have any family background? Am I right? Mr. Gehrman? "
Old Gehrman snorted, closing his eyes again.
Xia Ruofei didn't feel offended, laughing and saying, "Follow me if you want to see the treasure room! By the way, Zhengfeng, bring Mr. Gehrman here! "
After saying that, Xia Ruofei took the lead and walked in front.
Passing through the magnificent hall, there were rooms on the side, one of which was Old Gehrman's study room. Xia Ruofei led Lui Hai and others in a line. Monica pushed the wheelchair and entered the study room with Rossi. The brothers of the Freemasons also pushed Old Gehrman into the room.
Old Gehrman couldn't help showing a cynical look when he saw Xia Ruofei leading everyone to the study room.
There was indeed a secret room in this manor, and it was not in the hall. However, the entrance was not in this study room either.
When Old Gehrman saw Xia Ruofei's confident look just now, he thought that Xia Ruofei was so resourceful that he could even find such a hidden secret room! Now, it seemed that he was just bluffing.
Even if he died, he didn't want his family's treasures to be taken away by these Huaxia people.
Although many people poured in, the study room was spacious and didn't seem crowded.
Lv Zhengfeng looked at the furnishings of the study room curiously, asking, "Sir, is there really a treasure room here?"
Xia Ruofei said smilingly, "You have to ask Mr. Gehrman."
After saying that, Xia Ruofei looked at Old Gehrman with a smile, saying, "Mr. Gehrman, why don't you open the treasure room and show us? Maybe I'll let you go if I'm in a good mood! "
Old Gehrman naturally didn't believe Xia Ruofei's nonsense. He sneered, "There's no treasure room here, stop daydreaming!"
Xia Ruofei shrugged and said, "It seems that Mr. Gehrman is not honest!"
After saying that, Xia Ruofei pointed to one of the bookshelves and said, "Zhengfeng, two of you go and push these two bookshelves away!"
"Okay!" Lv Zhengfeng was eager to try. He personally went up with a member of the Hong Sect. Each of them was responsible for one bookshelf and pushed it to both sides.
When Xia Ruofei saw this, he quickly shouted, "Stop, stop, stop!"
"What's wrong?" Lv Zhengfeng asked, puzzled. "Didn't you tell us to push it away?"
Xia Ruofei walked over and said, "I forgot to tell you that it's difficult to push such a heavy bookshelf away with brute force!"
After saying that, he walked to one of the bookshelves and found the fifth row and the eighth book among the exquisite books. Then, he pressed the upper part of the book and pulled out half of it.
Then, Xia Ruofei walked to the other bookshelf and pulled out half of the 11th book on the third row.
It seemed that there was no pattern at all. He just did two simple actions. Then, Xia Ruofei said, "Okay, start pushing now!"
Old Gehrman saw this and sneered. "Deliberately mystifying!"
He spoke in Italian, so Xia Ruofei couldn't understand. He couldn't help but ask Monica, "What did he say?"
Monica pursed her lips into a smile and said, "This is Italian slang. It means that you're deliberately doing some unfathomable actions to make people feel that you're very profound. That's roughly what it means."
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but find it funny. "It seems that Mr. Gehrman won't cry until he sees the coffin!"
After saying that, Xia Ruofei said to Lv Zhengfeng, "What are you waiting for? Get to work! "
"Oh!" Lv Zhengfeng said.
Surprisingly, this time, Lv Zhengfeng and the brother from the Hong Sect easily pushed the heavy bookshelf to both sides until it was pressed against the two walls. There was a gap of more than one meter in width in the middle.
However, there was an ordinary wall behind the bookshelf. Lui Hai even knocked on it out of curiosity. The sound was very dull. Obviously, it was solid inside.
Everyone's expression was a bit strange — Did Mr. Xia make a mistake?
Only Old Gehrman had a mocking smile on his face as if he already knew this would happen.
Xia Ruofei's expression was normal. He walked to the corner of the room and pulled down a brass wall lamp.
Suddenly, there was a hinge sound. On the wall behind the bookshelf, about two meters high, the wall brick slowly sank down, revealing a dark entrance.
"It's really a different world!"
"Amazing! You can even find this! "
"It's incredible …"
Lui Hai and others took a deep breath and couldn't help but exclaim.
Old Gehrman looked as if he had seen a ghost.
Is there really a secret room here? Why don't I know about it? What the hell is going on?
He had always thought that Xia Ruofei was bluffing, just like how Xia Ruofei had always thought that he was just being stubborn until he saw the end of the world.
Old Gehrman didn't expect that Xia Ruofei really found the entrance to a secret room in this study room!
At this moment, Old Gehrman started to doubt his life.
