Hua Yan's lock-picking skill greatly impressed Su Zizhan, Cheng Zixiao, the Fifth Prince, and others.
Even Cheng Guzhi was taken aback, thinking that every time Hua Yan did something, it surprised everyone.
Cheng Xiang, Cheng Yao, and the elders of the Cheng Family all knew what was inside the big iron chest. The moment Hua Yan unlocked it, stars burst in front of their eyes, and that "click" sounded as if it struck their hearts.
They had failed to kill Cheng Zixiao when they knew he held plenty of evidence, and they had failed to kill Su Zizhan after he arrived in the Northern Region. Thus, what awaited them now was a sword hanging over their heads, just waiting for the blade to fall.
Hua Yan smoothly reinserted her hairpin into her hair, removed the lock, and handed the big iron chest back to Su Zizhan. It was only natural for him, as the investigator designated by Yun Chi, to review these items under the watchful eyes of everyone.
