Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

Chapter 3597: There’s a Safe Hidden in the Wall

Editor: Atlas Studios

After Qiao Nian entered, she silently scanned the situation in the vault.

This vault was more than 300m2, and Nie Qingru’s private collection was neatly placed inside—antiques and priceless jewelry.

Due to the uniqueness of this place, not everything could be placed there. Therefore, only things that Nie Qingru thought were important could be placed here.

Qiao Nian walked around and saw many antique calligraphy and paintings. She even saw a controversial portrait.

Mona Lisa.

She looked at the ordinary oil painting placed in the third compartment of the antique collection area. She turned her body slightly and looked at the well-preserved oil painting before raising her eyebrows and revealing a surprised expression.

In fact, famous appraisers all over the world had been suspicious of the painting in the museum that was claimed to be authentic, but it had never been verified.

After all, this painting was precious and could not be casually examined.

Seeing the oil painting in Nie Qingru’s vault, Qiao Nian was almost certain that the painting displayed in the museum was a fake!

However, even such a precious collection was casually placed outside Nie Qingru’s vault. It could be seen that there were many good things in her vault.

Qiao Nian… had a little money. Hence, she was not particularly interested in these items. She did not even touch them. Upon reaching the end, her gaze froze slightly.

It was a wall with no gaps. There was a large blue and white porcelain vase on the wall. It looked like a corner to store items.

However, Qiao Nian noticed a subtle difference.

She walked over and touched the wall. Then, she curled her fingers and knocked on it. The unusual sound was confirmation she had not misjudged.

Hence, she retreated a step and looked at the blue and white porcelain on the side before circling it three times.

The bottom of the blue-and-white porcelain was stuck to it like glue. It spun and made cracking sounds. After Qiao Nian tried to spin it three times, the wall changed.

There seemed to be nothing special on the wall, revealing a hidden space. Inside was a small safe.

The safe was embedded in the wall. It was difficult for ordinary people to imagine that there was a vault hidden inside the wall.

Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes, her expression turning serious.

She walked over and checked how the safe could be opened. Then, she sat cross-legged on the ground and tried to open it.

This safe used the most primitive method. It did not rely on high-tech fingerprints or irises. It required a key.

Needless to say, the key must be in Nie Qingru’s possession. Moreover, Nie Qingru had it with her, so it was very difficult to get it.

Looking around the vault, Qiao Nian found a wire and a metal disc before sitting back down and pursing her lips as she tried to open the safe with the tools.

Seconds ticked by.

The half-hour time limit was right in front of her.

Even though she was calm, she became anxious as time passed. She sped up her hand movements, using the wire to try to unlock the safe through the gap.

Qiao Nian’s back was drenched in cold sweat, and her palm was sticky with sweat. She couldn’t operate the tools accurately several times.

Fortunately, her heart was strong. In the last five minutes, she finally unlocked the safe and opened it.
