Originally no one would’ve guessed there be a hidden compartment due to the shelf being filled, but with it emptied, the marks were too obvious for the detective to not inspect.

“My god, can the face slapping not come so quickly?”

“My Chu Daddy is that crazy, secret compartments are just the basics for him.”

“Oooohh, I’m dying to know.
Show me, show me!”

“Hahaha, talk about never ending in the surprises.
I can’t get enough of this stream!”

……

The viewers flew into a wide array of glees and eeeeEEsss due to the sense of treasure hovering in the air.
It’s like they’ve been transported to a pirate ship and out on some far-off adventure of the unknown.

Back outside the door, the financial tycoons like Old Wang and Old Horse were all petrified due to what they just witnessed.

“What is this situation? Is it Chu Daddy… what am I saying? Did Chu Yun hide something else?”

“It can’t be….
The wine and art pieces are already outrageous enough, is there anything more valuable than those?” Old Horse frowns and wrinkled up his forehead, “Ha, I just knew it wouldn’t be that simple.”

Old Wang warily asks his counterpart, “Did you notice something?”

“I wouldn’t say I found something, but I already guessed ahead of time things wouldn’t be so simple.” Old Horse didn’t bother hiding his cheekiness and continued to gloat with superiority.
“Think about it.
Chu Yun used those precious wines to cook on a daily basis, that means these things aren’t valuable to him at all.
They’re not even worth his effort to hide!

Although Old Wang didn’t want to admit it, but the guy’s deduction was indeed proper with no room to refute.

However, it still left Old Wang feeling like someone had gut punched him in the stomach, “Not valuable enough to hide? You can’t be serious, are you?”

……

In the National Security Bureau, whether it be Li Tianlong or his subordinates gathered inside the conference room, they were all shocked to the point of jerking up into a stand.

“We’ve found it! I knew it, there’s something hidden deeper inside!”

“What can it be? What’s so valuable that he would hide it inside a secret compartment?”

“What kind of secret is Chu Yun hiding?”

They have a lot of questions so the entire room had fallen into a frenzy.
But as the head director, Li Tianlong naturally had the highest restraint.
Coming back to his senses first, the director quickly cleared his throat and reached into the pocket for his phone.
He needs to report this directly to his superiors up in the chambers for it’s beyond his control anymore.

……

“Go ahead, open it.” Song says after inhaling deeply.

Fang Guofeng nodded and gently pushed inwards with his hand.
With a click, the board slides apart to reveal what’s behind the cover – it’s a hollowed-out indentation that could be recognized as a form of mechanical lock.
Unless they had the item that fits perfectly into this indentation, the gears won’t turn, meaning they won’t be able to open the darn thing.

This is…… it still needs a key?

The chief detective looked inside and directly turned into stone after understanding the issue.
He got surprised enough today so he didn’t expect to be stalled at the crucial last step when their excitement was at their highest.

Likewise, the passion of the viewers also got extinguished by a basin of cold water over this image.

“I’ve got my pants off already and you show me this?”

“Chu Daddy is really too meticulous, leaving us high and dry.”

“Aaaah, what the hell is that key! I won’t be able to sleep tonight if no one opens it!”

……

Even the group at the National Security Bureau were dropping their jaws, causing them all to look weird and hilarious to the uninformed.

“Director, if there is no key to the lock, we will have to resort to special means to break it….” The short-haired and capable woman sighs.

“That option is unlikely to pass.
Mrs.
Song will definitely refuse our idea.” Li Tianlong frowned and shook his head after going over the chances of that passing.

The so-called special means could only be using violent methods like drills or hammer jacks.
That would instantly destroy the stuff inside the study, which Song had made abundantly clear before that it wouldn’t be allowed.

Unlike the public who were despairing at the cockblock in the crucial last second, Song’s expression was smiling sweetly after evoking a past memory.
Why? It’s because she recognized the carved shape of the mechanism in there and what it represented.

This was back on their first date, the day where Song and Chu Yun official established their girlfriend boyfriend relationship.
That day, the guy also gave her a gift.

“Song, since you are my woman now, I can’t let you go on without being appreciated.
This is my gift to you.”

“Peh, quit trying to sweet talk me, it won’t work.
Anyways, which grocery store did you buy this bracelet from? It’s so ugly and out of style.”

Since then, this bracelet has never left Song’s wrist.

“So you did care, you never lied to me.
Oh I hate you, why did you have to make your words so cryptic back then….” Song began to cry and laugh while murmuring to herself, thus making the lady seem a little crazy to the onlookers.

When Coco saw this, the famed schoolgirl idol immediately attempted to comfort the older friend, thinking she’s about to lose it.
“Sister Song, don’t be sad, I’m sure we will find a way to open that lock.”

“I’m not sad, just… I feel sweet inside.
Turns out my husband already gave me the key long ago.” Song’s eyes glowed with a mellow light, “This shows that he never hid anything from me.
He still loves me.”

Coco: “???”

The unexpected mouthful of lovers’ dog food left the schoolgirl almost choking in annoyance.

I try to comfort you because you looked so sad, and you return my goodwill with a mouthful of dog food?

However, Song’s words did make her envious nonetheless.

“Miss Song, do you really have the key?” Right as Fang Guofeng was at a loss on what to do, the chief detective quickly caught onto the singer’s words and ran over.

Nodding, the singer lovingly rubbed the bracelet in her hand.
Then taking it off, she gracefully walked over to the bookshelf and pressed the item against the indentation…..

“CREeekKK!!”

The bookcase jerked so slightly before sliding to one side.

“Tunnel, there is a tunnel hidden behind the bookcase!” Spirit’s eyes widened in shock over this spectacular scene.

Music gasped a cold breath as well, “There is a basement under the basement, why do I have a premonition that something beyond my imagination is hidden underneath?”

“My brother-in-law is really too mysterious, aiya, I knew he was good, but I didn’t think he would be this good.” Coco’s eyes twinkled with admiration.

Song didn’t react the same as everyone else; instead, she firmly moved her legs and wanted to head into the tunnel first.

Fang Guofeng hurriedly cried out after seeing this, “Wait! Mrs.
Song, please let us go down there first in order to minimize the danger.”

“No, it’s very safe here, and my husband will never harm me!” Song makes a confident smile.
She’s absolutely sure Chu Yun would never do anything that might put herself in danger, which transferred perfectly to the camera that’s been recording the entire footage.

“Hahaha, talk about a big comeback, Song has her husband by the leash!”

“So Chu Daddy already gave Song the key, talk about spoiling the wife.”

“This must be the most important secret Chu Daddy has, otherwise he wouldn’t go through the trouble of giving the queen the key.”

“Song’s statement there is too sweet, I’m going to fall in love with Chu Yun at this rate.
Where is my destined one? I need love, give me love!”

“One dares to give their love, and one dares to accept that love, now that’s what you call true love.
Oh I’m so envious of Song, she’s so lucky to have a husband like that.”

“Hey upstairs, can you people focus on what’s important first? There’s a hidden tunnel behind the bookshelf, a hidden tunnel!”

“Yeah, what kind of surprise is hidden inside?!”

……

At the same time.

Outside the country.

The heat of Song’s live broadcast had already spread far and wide, reaching multiple big nations throughout the world.

Whether it be the Damei Dynasty, Daben Dynasty, Dahan Dynasty… there are viewers currently joining the online stream in all directions.
And since Song was an international superstar to begin with, her fame quickly reached numerous news outlets and created headlines in real-time.
In fact, there are no shortages of reports coming out about what’s happening even if one doesn’t follow the news.
Of course, the reward of billions of dollars’ worth of assets being given away propelled this sensational news, but that’s a whole other story in of itself.

Damei Dynasty.

Their International Information Collection Office also received news about Song at this time.

“Hahaha, can those people bluff more? Wines produced in 1953? Hundreds of books and paintings from hundreds of years ago? How in the world can these things still exist in that state?”

“David, you obviously didn’t pay close enough attention to the details.
It’s not just a bluff, it’s a downright dumb lie.
The news says all of those things were found in the home of a single man, hahaha!”

“Hahaha, this is even more ridiculous, the people of that country have no other ability aside from making headlines.
Sooner or later, they will bite off more than they can chew with that mouth of theirs!”

The office leader cuts in: “That’s enough, I’ll turn on the tv and we can all watch the broadcast together.
If this stream is real then that Song is going to explode in popularity again, but if it’s just fluff then she’s going to be blacklisted by the entire world for this charade.
We can also add salt to the wound if it’s the latter and get some good laughs in.”

……

In addition to the Damei Dynasty, other dynasties had also taken similar actions.
In particular were Daben Dynasty and Dahan Dynasty.
These two nations were the closest to Dahan Dynasty where Song resides and they didn’t want a powerful neighbor growing even stronger.
It wouldn’t be good for their own interest so flopping this incident was their top priority.
