Chapter 1512 Follow Sally Secretly
“It’s a bit unsafe for a girl to go out at night. Be extra careful.” Juan pretended to care about Sally.
“I will. I’m going out to buy some groceries and will be back soon.”
Juan followed Sally right after she stepped out of the house.
After quite some time, Sally’s car pulled over at the dilapidated Maupay Manor. She then hopped out and looked around carefully before entering the manor hastily.
Meanwhile, Juan followed Sally to that place and fixated his gaze on Sally, who wasn’t far from him.
Why does she come here? Could it be that Steven is hiding here?
Why did Kyle’s subordinates only abduct Skyler and not with Steven? Wouldn’t we save a lot of trouble if they had done it?
After giving it some thought, Juan tiptoed toward the manor carefully. Also, he purposely kept a distance from Sally to avoid being discovered by her.
Under the dim moonlight, Juan saw Sally enter the westernmost room and immediately followed her. However, he lost sight of Sally when he arrived and peeked through the door.
Given that the room led to the secret room, Juan knew that Sally had entered it.
He sneaked into it but had no idea how he could enter the secret room. Suddenly, he heard someone talk from the floor.
“Ms. Maupay, why are you here?”
“Where is my dad? I’m worried about him. How is he? Is he doing fine?”
“He’s fine. Ms. Maupay, please come with me.”
“Alright.”
With that, the room fell silent. Juan looked around carefully to find the trigger that could open the entrance to the secret underground room.
The next moment, Juan turned on the torchlight on his phone and scrutinized the wall. However, there wasn’t any trigger or switch on the smooth grey wall.
After that, he bent down to check the floor but didn’t see anything suspicious. Well, the room isn’t that big. Where on earth is the trigger?
Juan stood up and closed his eyes to calm himself down and analyze the situation. Soon, the images of all corners in the room, including the wall and the floor, flashed through his mind.
After half a minute, Juan suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the center of the wall upon which the moonlight fell.
Sally didn’t switch on any torchlight when she entered the room. In that case, how could she turn on the trigger so quickly? Did she see the trigger because of the moonlight? Is there something wrong with the wall?
With that, Juan looked closer and realized that the texture at the center of the wall was slightly rougher. He knew that the wall was empty, for he could hear echoes once he knocked on it.
Juan heard footsteps approaching as he wanted to push the wall. Hence, he swiftly hid in the dark corner and stared warily at the figure.
“Mr. Juan…”
Despite his low volume, Juan instantly recognized that it was Saul’s voice.
He tiptoed to Saul’s back and patted on his shoulder. Shocked, Saul immediately turned around to look at him.
“Why are you here?” Juan asked.
“Mr. Kyle has instructed us to find out the secrets of the secret room. Since it would cause suspicion if I do it in the morning, I’ve decided to come at night. When I arrived, I saw Sally and you behind her. That was why I hid first before entering the manor.”
“In that case, let us go down together.”
“Sure. Mr. Juan, I know how to enter the secret room. When we surrounded and observed the manor, I saw how they went in and out of the room.”
With that, Saul came up to the spot where Juan thought suspicious and pushed it with all his might. The next moment, the floor slid open, revealing a staircase that led to the secret room.
“Well done, Saul. It looks like you didn’t waste your time observing the manor for a few days.”
Saul replied smilingly, “Mr. Kyle is meticulous and has good observation skills. We have learned a lot from him.”
“That’s enough. You don’t have to flatter Kyle since he isn’t here anyway. Let’s go down quickly.”
