Chapter 306: Hidden Door

Bai Xiaoqing's office was in a building to the left of the factory workshop. The building wasn't particularly tall, but it was tastefully decorated. The security guards had all seen Chen Erbao before and knew he was their big boss, so they all stood ramrod straight, afraid of leaving him with a bad impression.

Chen Erbao took the elevator straight to Bai Xiaoqing's floor.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.

Out of politeness, Chen Erbao knocked on the door.

No one answered.

He gripped the handle, pushed the door open gently, and glanced inside. The room was empty.

After a moment's thought, Chen Erbao strode in, closed the door behind him, and looked around Bai Xiaoqing's office.

The bookshelf on the left side of the office was filled with all sorts of books, most of them on management. Chen Erbao casually picked up a couple and flipped through them, finding that nearly every page was covered in notes and explanations.

The small, elegant handwriting was neat yet free-spirited, without a trace of hesitation, reflecting the owner's capable personality.

Chen Erbao moved to Bai Xiaoqing's desk and casually picked up some documents to leaf through.

Most of them were about daily financial expenditures, personnel transfers, and cargo handovers with the Bailong Village factory.

Chen Erbao was just about to take out his phone to call Lin Zhiqing when his keen senses suddenly detected a gaze fixed upon him!

'There's someone in the room?!'

Startled, Chen Erbao silently put down the documents and nonchalantly surveyed the room's decor.

A feature wall, a TV wall, a fish tank...

His gaze landed on the feature wall, which was carved with stallions.

In the bottom-right corner of the wall, the outline of a doorframe appeared before his eyes.

If not for his astonishing vision and perception, no one would have likely discovered that there was a secret door here!

'Could it be the people who tried to use Curse Killing on me last time haven't given up? No, that's not right. How would they know I'd be here... Could it be a spy from another company? That's not right either. What kind of spy steals things in broad daylight?'

He stomped his foot forcefully, and his entire body blurred into nothingness, disappearing from the room.

BANG!

"Ouch..."

Chen Erbao's figure appeared in front of the secret door. With a light jolt of his palm, he broke the lock and forced the door open.

His other hand was already clenched into a fist, ready to strike at any moment with Dragon Elephant Power.

But...

When the secret door swung open, it clearly hit something, letting out a dull thud, immediately followed by a melodious and pleasant cry of surprise.

Chen Erbao froze for a second, then pushed his way inside without hesitation. However, the scene inside the room left him stunned on the spot.

Skin as white and smooth as ivory, a delicate and flawless face, exquisite features, plump and towering peaks, and below them, a hazy black thicket...

Bai Xiaoqing!

Chen Erbao vaguely felt that this scene was somewhat familiar. It was like the first time he met Bai Xiaoqing, when the two of them had an awkward mix-up. Afterwards, both of them had a tacit understanding to keep that incident a secret.

Who would have thought...

After all this time, a scene like this would happen again.

It was an exact repeat of that time.

Bai Xiaoqing, naked, had been suddenly intruded upon. At first, she was frantic, but upon seeing it was Chen Erbao, she relaxed slightly. Still, her face turned visibly red.

"You... you get out!"

She turned around, both annoyed and embarrassed, pressing her legs tightly together and crossing her arms over her chest. Her exquisitely bewitching face was a mixture of urgency and shyness as her beautiful eyes glared at Chen Erbao.

"Ah... Oh, oh!"

Chen Erbao struggled to tear his eyes away from Bai Xiaoqing's alluring body. He reluctantly turned around and was about to push the door to leave.

Just as Chen Erbao was stepping out of the room and Bai Xiaoqing had just breathed a sigh of relief, the sound of the office door opening suddenly came from outside.

"Sister Xiaoqing, everything's been arranged. We can..."

Hearing Lin Zhiqing's voice, Chen Erbao instinctively activated Misty Step. He shot back inside with lightning speed, pressing his back against the door, his heart racing.

Bai Xiaoqing had just turned around, not expecting Chen Erbao to come back. Once again, he got an unguarded, full view of her, and she was so anxious she was about to cry.

But hearing Lin Zhiqing's voice, Bai Xiaoqing didn't dare make a rash move. She could only present her naked, beautiful back to Chen Erbao again, turning her head to glare at him.

Chen Erbao mouthed silently:

"Zhiqing can't find out!"

Bai Xiaoqing glared at him fiercely. She felt wronged and shy, but with no good solution at the moment, she had no choice but to swallow her anger.

"Sister Xiaoqing?"

Lin Zhiqing's voice came from outside the door.

Not seeing Bai Xiaoqing in the office, Lin Zhiqing placed the documents on the desk and walked straight toward the secret door in the feature wall.

Leaning against the door, Chen Erbao's face turned pale when he heard the approaching footsteps. He quickly pointed toward the main office, gesturing at Bai Xiaoqing.

Bai Xiaoqing was panicking as well. If Lin Zhiqing discovered her in a room with Chen Erbao, completely naked, the consequences...

She didn't dare to imagine!

"Quickly!"

Chen Erbao mouthed frantically.

"Ah, uh... Zhiqing, I'm in here."

Bai Xiaoqing responded to the voice outside, biting her lip.

Chen Erbao clearly heard Lin Zhiqing's footsteps pause right at the doorway.

"Sister Xiaoqing, why do you sound so strange? Are you sick?"

Lin Zhiqing asked from the doorway.

"No, no... I'm fine. I just finished showering. Wait for me a moment, I'll be right out!"

Bai Xiaoqing quickly picked up her clothes and shook them to make some noise for Lin Zhiqing to hear.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhiqing didn't leave. Instead, she giggled mischievously and pressed both hands on the door, about to push her way in.

"Sister Xiaoqing, it's been a while since we showered together. Didn't you want to see if I've had a second growth spurt? I'm coming in, okay?"

"Don't..."

Bai Xiaoqing's heart leaped in alarm, and Chen Erbao was scared to death. He used brute force to hold the door shut.

He didn't even dare to use his Spiritual Power, afraid that Lin Zhiqing would notice the fluctuation.

After all, under his guidance, Lin Zhiqing had already reached the Peak of Qi Refining First Layer!

A pair of small, fair hands pressed against the door and pushed, but it didn't budge!

"Sister Xiaoqing, you locked it from the inside? Are you doing something naughty in there? Fess up!"

Lin Zhiqing didn't back away from the door. Instead, she leaned against it with a grin and said in a low voice.

"I... What naughty things could I possibly be doing? Don't let your imagination run wild. I'll be out as soon as I'm dressed!"

Bai Xiaoqing was so anxious she was on the verge of tears. She had never been in such an awkward situation.

Her best friend was waiting right outside the door, while said friend's boyfriend was right beside her, and she herself was stark naked...

If she was seen, how could she possibly explain it?

Should she say they were playing cards?

By now, Chen Erbao had calmed his nerves and held his breath, not daring to make the slightest sound. He had already decided that if Lin Zhiqing really forced her way in, he would have to use all his strength to push his Misty Step to its absolute limit and try to keep her from seeing him.

However, he knew how difficult that would be.

If Lin Zhiqing were an ordinary person, Chen Erbao would be absolutely confident he could remain unseen. But she was already at the Peak of Qi Refining First Layer, and he couldn't guarantee his Misty Step could completely fool her!
