Chapter 208 Mysterious Disappearance

Her identity is not simple.

Subconsciously, Xia Lan made this judgment because it was difficult for ordinary people to wear such expensive silk clothes.

And the most important question is how the other party reacts to his own hijacking.

In addition to the brief panic at the beginning, the other party immediately recognized the situation and calmed down. He even boldly bargained for his own purpose through speculation. This action made Xia Lan unable to believe that ordinary people could do this.

Perhaps the other party is most likely to be an important relative of Viscount Frant.

Never underestimate a qualified aristocratic child. Good and excellent education and rich experience are enough to make them mature and face the interests of different situations.

The footsteps were swaying in the complex and intertwined deep corridors. The faint candlelight on the wall corridor was illuminating the figures of the two. When occasionally they noticed the traces of the patrol guards, Xia Lan would hold the girl hostage and hide quietly.

The girl is a smart person, so she never makes any abnormal moves in calling for help and resisting.

Until they climbed a long rotating step, their vision suddenly became clear. The gorgeous magic lights on the walls illuminated the wide and straight road in front of them, and there was a door and a closed wooden door in front of the road.

"This is Viscount Frant's study?"

While paying attention to the girl beside her, Xia Lan exuded a sense of vigilance to guard against the potentially hidden whistles around her.

"Yes."

The girl secretly glanced at Xia Lan and said carefully.

"The door is locked?"

Xia Lan came to the study and held the door handle and gently pulled it, but found that the door was not moving at all. He turned around and looked at the girl and murmured, "You said, will something interesting happen if I forcefully open this door?"

The girl stared at Xia Lan's deep eyes was stunned. Her hands were unconsciously tugging against the lace edge of her satin pajamas, and her head was slightly lowered. After a long time, she said: "If you forcefully open this door, the alarm placed in it will sound throughout Glady Fort."

"Maybe you know how to open this door?"

Xia Lan said with a calm expression.

"I know." The girl raised her head, looked bravely at the man in front of her and said, "And I know every trap that is secretly arranged in the study."

Xia Lan looked at the girl carefully with surprise, but she didn't expect that she would tell him all this so honestly.

Is it to prevent him from killing people in advance?

No, she just made the right choice.

If he forced the door of the study room to trigger an alarm, the girl would definitely not be able to escape the end of death. Now her life is always in his hands. I am afraid that she would be the one who is most unwilling to have an accident at this time, but isn't she aware of the end of death after she was used? Or is she already very sure to escape?

However, what if she escaped? Now Xia Lan has changed her appearance through "Disguise", so he is not worried about the exposure of his identity at that time.

"I've left it to you, I know you won't let me down."

After moving away from her body, Xia Lan looked at the girl with a little surprise and said.

The girl walked to the study without fear. She suddenly squatted down and gently pried a loose stone brick on the ground with her little hand. After a while, a copper-yellow key appeared in her hand.

Insert into the keyhole, twisted, and a "click" sounded, and the girl gently pulled the door handle down, and the door of the study room opened in an instant.

"This is just the first floor of warning, and you must not turn on any lighting switches in the room after entering the door."

The girl pushed open the door and whispered to Xia Lan behind her.

As the other party entered the dark study together, Xia Lan's fingers flashed, and a horseshoe lantern emitting soft light suddenly dispelled the darkness.

"Huh--" The sudden light surprised the girl and looked at the lamp that was inexplicably emerging from the other party's hand and said, "So you have prepared for it."

"Don't walk around the room at will, especially you must not step on the carpet under your feet."

After seeing the other party holding a horseshoe lamp, he was illuminating around and preparing to walk around, the girl hurriedly reminded in a low voice.

Hearing the girl's words, Xia Lan saw the exquisite and beautiful plush carpet on the ground not far away with the light. She didn't expect that a small study would have so many secret traps. I don't know if it should be said to be lucky. If he hadn't met the girl who was hijacking her in front of him, he would have probably caused many alarms to make his actions tonight's failure at this time.

"Can the trap in the room be removed?"

Scanning the two rows of tall bookshelf erected by the wall, Xia Lan asked.

"I have no idea."

The girl lowered her head slightly, making it difficult to see her face.

"you do not know?"

"Yes, because Viscount Frant has never told anyone how to remove the trap in his study." The girl said.

"But you know all the traps in the study." Xia Lan said lightly, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Please don't get me wrong. These are just something I heard quietly from the maid who was responsible for cleaning the study." The girl explained with a slight fear.

"Yeah?"

Xia Lan smiled thoughtfully and stopped obsessing with this issue, but instead shifted the topic to other places.

“What should I pay attention to if I need to check books on the bookshelf and documents on the desk?”

"You can read the books on the bookshelf and the documents on the desk at will, but please do not forcefully open the locked desk cabinet." The girl seemed relieved when she saw that the other party stopped asking.

"Don't you know the key to the bookcase?" Xia Lan said.

"The keys to the bookcase have always been kept by Lord Viscount himself." said the girl.

"I see."

As he said that, Xia Lan walked to the tall bookshelf by the wall and took off an old book and read it casually. However, he read it very quickly. After a while, he stuffed the book in his hand back, and then continued to take off another book, repeating it continuously.

"Your Excellency, are you visiting here just to read a book?"

Seeing the other party's strange behavior, the girl couldn't help but ask curiously.

"certainly."

The girl refused to believe Xia Lan's straightforward answer, but she had no expectation that the other party would tell her the truth.

While the man was flipping through the books, the girl quietly moved her steps and slid towards a corner of the wall.

"I advise you not to move another step, otherwise-"

A cold voice suddenly penetrated into the girl's ears, and she suddenly stiffened her body.

"Ha...hehe..."
