At these words, Ruby's eyes suddenly widened opened, "Only the living room?"
Levi nodded, “The other party should have already predicted that we would search carefully in the bedroom, so they did not install it in the bedroom, but in the dead corner of the living room, which is easy to be ignored, so that the same effect of listening and monitoring can be achieved. After you left, I have searched it and then found it."
Ruby frowned; she did search the bedroom thoroughly before she left, and indeed did not focus on the living room.
After all, there wasn't much in the living room and she didn't care.
So it seemed that she had been negligent. There had been so much going on lately, and with her limited energy, it was inevitable that she would be negligent.
The other party must have seen her disguised appearance and that was why they followed her all the way.
But how did these mercenaries find their way here, given that she had shaken off the men?
And this was the back door. If the other party did not know about this place in advance, they had made an extensive deployment in advance and surrounded the entire laboratory.
But how did the other party know that she would definitely come to the lab?
It was no secret that she worked in Dr. Moore's lab, but not many people know about it.
Just as she was wrinkling her brow in thought, Levi took her hand: "Come on, get in the car first, even though those people have left, it's still not safe here, let's go home."
Ruby nodded, then asked, "Our home ......"
Levi knew what she wanted to ask, “Don’t worry, Chester has checked our house, including the entire Shangcheng International district thoroughly, and the place is currently guarded so that not even a fly can be let in."
At these words, Ruby was relieved, lifted her backpack and followed him to the car.
When she got home, she went to see Olivia first.
The little girl had had a scare after all and had put her mind down when she got home and was now in a deep sleep.
"She fell asleep not long after you left, so I took the time to search the other corners of the house, and after finding the cameras, thinking that the other party had discovered your disguised appearance, I called Chester to find you, and luckily he was in time."
As he said this, his face froze, not daring to imagine the dire consequences if he had been a step later.
The more he thought about it, the more fearful he became, and he took Ruby's hand in his, clutching it with a little strength, as if he was worried that she would disappear in the next moment.
"No matter what happens in the future, I will do my best to be by your side and will not let you face any more danger alone."
If something irreparable happened again, as it did that night five years ago, he would go mad.
Ruby's eyes were dark as she stared at his stoic face, her heart beat faster.
She pursed her lips and smiled, her voice clear as she responded, "Okay."
At this, Levi’s eyes became cold, “Those mercenaries had been ambushing there. They probably didn't know that there was a secret room in the lab, and that there was a secret door, but they already had all their men ready, and most likely, the lab was surrounded on all sides by those mercenaries, waiting for you to show up and catch you."
Ruby nodded solemnly, then pursed her lips, "I was almost caught by them."
Then, her face became grave again, "But they have really deployed tightly in order to deal with me, I was careless this time."
How could she have expected that the other party would send mercenaries?
Levi also found this suspicious: "The person who wants to lay hands on you must be of extraordinary strength. They are even able to hire so many mercenaries just to rob the relic in your hands, do you have any idea about the true nature of this person?"
Ruby was silent for a moment, then shook her head, "No, I have never liked to suspect my friends, and besides, since the other party dared to do so, he obviously wasn't worried that I would find out anything."
As she said this, there was not a trace of displeasure or annoyance on her face, but instead a playful smile was seen.
"I'm a bit curious as to who this person hiding behind is that he is so interested in my grandmother's relics."
As her words fell, she dropped her gaze to the backpack and inclined her head towards Levi, "Want to see together what goodies my grandmother has left for me?"
Levi sat down next to her, taking the box out of the backpack, "You open it."
Without saying anything, Ruby took out the key she kept close to her and finally opened the delicate wooden box.
