This maneuver of Qin Huan's is as sharp as a police dog.

It made Zhang Feng nervous immediately.

Even though Qin Huan isn't his girlfriend, he's not worried at all about her getting jealous.

But, she's still a girl, you know!

With what just happened, how could he possibly tell her about it openly?

Provide a detailed description too?

She'd think he's a pervert!

So, Zhang Feng could only lie at this moment, speaking with slight tension:

"No way... you must have seen it wrong?"

Damn it...

If you're going to lie, at least find a decent excuse, would ya?

Saw it wrong?

Who'd believe that!

Qin Huan surely doesn't believe it at all.

Her eyes carried a probing look:

"Zhang Feng, are you hiding something from me?"

"The strange feeling on you now... is it related to those weird sounds from next door earlier?"

"I remember, the room next door is yours, right?!"

Zhang Feng just knew it!

Mu Qianqian's loud voice would never be muffled by those thin walls.

Qin Huan definitely heard it clearly.

But....

Zhang Feng quickly spoke:

"Don't joke around, I wasn't even in my room just now, you must have misheard, or have you been locked up too long and started hallucinating?"

This statement was the absolute truth from Zhang Feng.

He indeed never returned to his room earlier, but was in the room two doors away.

It's just that Mu Qianqian's voice was too loud!

That's why it led Qin Huan to this misjudgment of distance!

Since Zhang Feng wasn't lying.

Therefore, his expression and tone showed no flaws.

This left Qin Huan a bit dumbfounded.

She's a great detective too.

Identifying whether someone is lying is right up her alley.

So she's adept at using this skill.

She was sure Zhang Feng was hiding something from her earlier.

But now, Zhang Feng shows no sign of lying?

Was what she said earlier right or wrong?

It left Qin Huan puzzled, which Zhang Feng didn't expect either.

But Qin Huan still shook her head and said:

"No, you definitely have something you're hiding from me."

Listening to Qin Huan's words, it seemed like she was being persistent?

If there's something I'm hiding from you, then so be it.

Why do I have to tell you everything?

Why?

Don't you have....

That's right!

Suddenly, the things he discovered through peeking came to his mind.

Isn't now the perfect time to use that as an excuse to cover up the current awkwardness?

With this thought.

Zhang Feng immediately changed his expression, his eyes turning deep, his voice lowered as he slowly said:

"I'm not sure if I'm hiding anything from you..."

"But you must be hiding something from me, right?"

When Qin Huan heard this line.

She was taken aback.

I have something to hide from you?

Hiss—

A slight tension rose in her heart.

A flash of nervousness appeared in her eyes, quickly disappearing.

But Zhang Feng's keen insight captured this flicker clearly.

It gave Zhang Feng some understanding.

However, Qin Huan was quite adept at controlling her emotions and expressions.

She even went so far as to retort with a slight pout:

"Don't you turn the tables on me!"

Her tone had changed subtly.

An average person wouldn't notice, but Zhang Feng heard it loud and clear!

But Zhang Feng also knew.

Qin Huan had been hiding from him all along, and if he pressed on now, he probably wouldn't get the answer he wanted.

So Zhang Feng had no intention of further questioning Qin Huan.

But that didn't mean he wouldn't seize this moment to quickly change the subject, right?

So he directly said:

"I just did some investigating and finally found some useful stuff. I came back to share it with you!"

This move was precisely the right medicine for Qin Huan.

Qin Huan was a workaholic; as soon as work-related matters were mentioned, she'd become serious and immerse herself completely.

Besides, she seemed to be waiting for a topic change too.

So she directly asked:

"What did you find? Is it concrete evidence that can benefit us?"

Zhang Feng nodded and said:

"I found a secret room... actually two, but I haven't discovered anything peculiar in one yet."

"But in another secret room, there's a cabinet locked by a cipher. I feel there might be key things inside it, just that I currently can't...."

As he was speaking, Zhang Feng suddenly paused, as if an idea struck him.

Qin Huan thought Zhang Feng was done speaking.

She nodded and said:

"The cipher... it is crucial. Without it, we can't unlock the lock. Do you know who has the cipher?"

But just as Qin Huan asked this, Zhang Feng excitedly said:

"I suddenly remembered, I might not need the cipher to unlock it!"

"Wait a second; I'll be right back!"

Then Zhang Feng, without minding Qin Huan's puzzled gaze, suddenly turned and ran off!

Leaving Qin Huan alone in disarray on the bed.

Thinking to herself:

"So, you've been investigating all this time and only remembered you can unlock now? Seeing me reminded you? What, am I from a lock company?"

Qin Huan, of course, didn't know.

Zhang Feng really couldn't unlock that lock before.

Or rather, he couldn't handle the problems and risks that might arise after unlocking it.

While trying to unlock earlier, didn't his eyelids twitch?

He found that the lock had a special ban on it, whether high-tech or a trick of the Evil Cultivator, he wasn't sure.

Anyway, bypassing the cipher to unlock it would instantly alert someone behind the scenes!

But now!

Zhang Feng suddenly remembered that while "Refining Heart" on Mu Qianqian earlier, his cultivation had recovered, breaking through more than 30 percent!

Over 30 percent, Zhang Feng knew he could use 30 percent of his Spiritual Qi to trigger a skill, isolating that restriction from transmitting signals externally!

This realization just clicked in Zhang Feng's mind.

Since he could do this now.

Why not hurry to see what's inside that cabinet?

To get hold of the evidence sooner?

Actually....

Regarding the recovery of his cultivation, Zhang Feng overlooked one issue.

After detoxifying Shen Xing'Er before, he received feedback Spiritual Qi from the world, restoring strength.

This time, although he detoxified, why didn't he receive feedback Spiritual Qi?

Zhang Feng truly overlooked this.

If Zhang Feng cared, he might figure out that Mu Qianqian probably wasn't poisoned at all!

But now, Zhang Feng's mind wasn't on Mu Qianqian.

Settling the evidence was crucial.

However, Zhang Feng couldn't just head to the toy factory and use his skills to enter the secret room like before.

After all, Dog Bro's people were at the courtyard entrance guarding the door for him!

If he left now, wouldn't he be discovered?

So Zhang Feng turned around and went back to his room.

His eyes glimmered, single-handedly casting a spell!

"Earth Escape!"
