The four maids did not have any martial arts skills and were only maids who were good at taking care of others. At this moment, the four of them were hugging each other and did not dare to make a sound. They also did not dare to ask if the princess and the other woman in the room would be afraid. This was because the four of them were already so afraid that they began to tremble.
Tang Xiaowei closed her eyes for a long while before opening them again. She realized that her surroundings were still pitch-black.
Because there were no windows, this kind of secret room was even more suffocating than the night.
About five minutes passed.
Tang Xiaowei clearly heard the sound of something falling to the ground from outside. Then, a light seemed to shine into the room they were in.
She subconsciously grabbed Su Xiaoqi's hand.
Then, she sat up and stared nervously at the door.
Su Xiaoqi also looked over because of Tang Xiaowei's actions. Su Xiaoqi also saw the faint light coming from there.
In addition, very soft footsteps began to sound from outside.
The footsteps sounded as if there was only one person outside.
However, the other party did not speak, which made Tang Xiaowei and Su Xiaoqi even more afraid and trembling.
"Sister Xiaowei, what should we do? The person outside might not be my brother." Su Xiaoqi's voice was very low. She vaguely felt that the person outside was not her brother. If it was her brother, he would have asked loudly if the person inside was okay.
Tang Xiaowei replied in a low voice, "No matter who it is, if he dares to hurt us, we will fight him to the death!"
She and Su Xiaoqi clenched their hands.
Tang Xiaowei's body did not have any strength, and even getting out of bed was a problem.
Even if she found out that someone was coming over, she did not know what to do. What she said to Su Xiaoqi just now was to comfort Su Xiaoqi and herself.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps had stopped at the door of the room they were in.
The moment the footsteps stopped, the door that Su Xiaoqi had closed when she entered was pushed open.
The light from outside shone directly into the room.
Under the blinding light, Tang Xiaowei and Su Xiaoqi subconsciously closed their eyes and covered their eyes with their arms.
However, the next second, the man's familiar voice sounded. "Xiaowei."
Tang Xiaowei heard the familiar voice and her body froze. Then, she put down her hands and looked forward.
However, before she could see clearly, she was forcefully pulled into the man's arms. The man almost ran over and completely pulled her into his arms.
"Xiaowei, I'm sorry. I didn't protect you well." Huangfu Qiye tightly hugged the little woman in his arms.
He destroyed the power supply in the villa and went to the dining hall.
He discovered that there was something fishy about the mural on the wall in the dining hall. He accidentally bumped into Xiaowei's hand on the mural and entered the place.
He saw four maids inside. After knocking them unconscious, he planned to take a look at this place that could be considered a secret room. It would be the place where Su Jin hid Xiaowei and the child.
Fortunately, he took a closer look. Otherwise, he would not have met the person he had been looking for all this while.
Tang Xiaowei was held tightly by Huangfu Qiye, and she could hardly breathe.
She did not expect him to suddenly appear in such a situation. It was truly a pleasant surprise and shock.
She could finally relax in his arms.
"How did you know I was here? When did you come here? Alone? Did you manage to control Su Jin's men?"
Because of his arrival, Tang Xiaowei asked too many questions in her heart.
Huangfu Qiye explained calmly, "I had a very strong telepathic connection and felt that you were here, so I brought my men here. Now, Su Jin's men are not completely under control, but they should be here soon."
Hearing his explanation, Tang Xiaowei felt much more relaxed.
"Where's the child?" Huangfu Qiye caressed Tang Xiaowei's head and whispered softly into her ear.
Tang Xiaowei hurriedly pointed to the side and said, "She's here."
Huangfu Qiye looked over and indeed saw a sleeping little fellow.
Then, he also saw Su Xiaoqi beside him. He did not have much effect on Su Xiaoqi, so he asked, "Who is she? Was she sent by Su Jin to spy on you?"
After saying that, he was ready to take out the tranquilizer gun and put Su Xiaoqi down.
Tang Xiaowei quickly held his hand and said, "She's my friend. You're not allowed to hurt her. Let's think about how to get out of here first."
Tang Xiaowei did not mention that Su Xiaoqi was Su Jin's sister. She was afraid that Huangfu Qiye would hurt Su Xiaoqi because of Su Jin.
Huangfu Qiye did not think too much about it. Since Xiaowei said that this person was her friend, then he would not make a move.
He sat down beside Tang Xiaowei and used the flashlight in his hand to illuminate the surroundings. Then, he said in a deep voice, "This is a secret room, the kind that can not be destroyed by a bomb."
"Then what should we do?" Tang Xiaowei began to get anxious upon hearing his words.
Could it be that they were not going out anymore?
Su Xiaoqi, who was beside him, did not speak because of Huangfu Qiye's appearance and because she saw Huangfu Qiye and Tang Xiaowei hugging each other to show off their affection. She had nothing to say anyway, so she just listened quietly.
Huangfu Qiye patted Tang Xiaowei's head again. He comforted her, "Don't worry. A secret room like this will definitely have two exits. Usually, the first exit is the entrance, while the second one is more secretive. Wait for me here for a while. I'll go out to take a look. After I find the second exit, we'll leave together."
"Okay." Tang Xiaowei did not object.
Huangfu Qiye did not want to waste any time. After all, he had entered Su Jin's villa alone. He did not know if Li Yuncheng had dealt with those people outside.
Therefore, he did not stay in the room for long. He only instructed Tang Xiaowei to stay well. Then, he gave her a flashlight and prepared to leave.
He still remembered that she was afraid of the dark.
But just now, she actually did not mention it to him. He knew that she must have been holding on, this silly woman.
Huangfu Qiye was about to leave, but Tang Xiaowei quickly grabbed his arm and shoved the flashlight into his hand. "Take this with you. We won't move from here. You need the light more."
"I have a phone on me. I can use the flashlight on the phone. You can keep this. Be good." Huangfu Qiye lowered his head and quickly kissed her lips. Then, he touched her head and immediately took out his phone, then tapped a few times. He turned on the flashlight on the phone and hurried out.
Tang Xiaowei watched his tall figure disappear at the door before she retracted her gaze.
She lowered her head to look at her own flashlight. It wasn't very big, very small, and very light. However, the light was very bright, and the quality was really good.
Now that there was finally light in the dark room, she finally didn't feel so scared anymore.
