Chapter 1581
Seeing three kids and an adult in the house, the leader asked, "Tell me how many people live here.
Where are the others?"
He did not think the four of them were the only residents.
Tony replied calmly, "Only five people live here. The kids’ mother has gone out to work. She hasn't
come back yet."
"Really?"
The leader didn’t believe his words and turned to let the others search the house.
Seeing them heading straight to the second floor, Tony narrowed his eyes and secretly clenched his
fists. And his heart was racing.
There was no one on the second or the third floor, so he was not afraid of them searching there.
But...
The inspectors searched every room but found nothing, so they returned to the first floor. Tony let go of
his fists and smiled, "There are no suspicious people here, right?"
Suddenly, an inspector ran over and said, "There's a basement."
Hearing this, the leader deliberately cast a look at Tony. But the latter maintained a smile and didn't
show a trace of panic."I store my wines in the basement. It’s OK if you want to go down to have a look," Tony said.
He didn't stop them.
After entering the basement, the inspectors checked the red wine on the racks. One of them picked up
a bottle of red wine, looked at the label, and said, "You have quite a collection of wine."
When Tony was about to speak, he suddenly heard a scream.
It was terrible!
His heart skipped a beat, but he maintained a calm face, pretending not to hear anything.
But the people from the base were not fools. The basement was quiet, so they had all heard the
scream.
"Who is it?"
The leader shot a gloomy look at Tony. If he had heard it right, a woman had screamed.
Hearing the question, Tony pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"
Hearing this, the leader showed a gloomier face and warned, "Stop playing the fool! Tell me who
screamed just now!"
Then, he said to the other inspectors, "Search this basement to see if there is a secret passage."
Tony's heart sank. But he instantly racked his brains, trying to solve the crisis.
Suddenly, there was another scream.However, people could easily tell it was from upstairs this time. The inspectors immediately left the
basement without any hesitation. Tony followed behind them with a frown, wondering why a woman
was screaming upstairs.
After they got back to the first floor, the woman's screams became clearer. When the people from the
base looked over, they found the three kids watching TV in the living room. And the woman's screams
were coming from the TV.
The leader sullenly asked, "What are you doing?"
The kids turned to look at him and replied in unison," Watching a movie."
Alex noticed the leader was angry, so he tilted his head, blinked, and innocently asked, "Sir, did we
disturb you?"
The leader didn't answer but looked in the direction of the basement, feeling something was wrong.
After Tony walked to the kids and looked at the woman screaming on TV, he exchanged glances with
Alex and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, like father like son! Fortunately, the kids were sharp-witted. If the people from the base
discovered the secret room, they would get in big trouble!
