The huge villa looked empty after Sheng Mingyuan and his family had moved all their belongings. Sheng Yan and Su Li stood in the middle of the living room and looked around the house.
Except for the garden outside, which is still the same as when it came in, everything else has become like ruins.
"Yan Yan, should this house be decorated to its original appearance?"
Su Li stepped forward and hugged Sheng Yan's shoulders, trying to convey some strength to her.
The place where the once happy family of three lived is now in this state, which makes no one feel good.
Besides, Shengyan's favorite relatives have all left her.
"You better understand me. You are here and you can help me keep an eye on it. Let's go and see the secret room you mentioned."
The study room is basically the same as before. Xue Fenglan's family has no use for this room. Even Sheng Mingyuan is not a person who likes to read.
In addition, there are many valuable calligraphy, paintings and antiques in the study room, and they are afraid that if the things are damaged, they will not be able to sell them at a good price.
Su Li stood in the study and looked around before confirming that he was standing in front of a calligraphy picture.
"There seems to be some kind of mechanism behind this painting. I forgot about it. I discovered it by accident and didn't know how to open it."
The two of them carefully took down the painting. Sheng Yan also found a box specifically for calligraphy and painting and put the things in it properly.
These things in the study were my father's favorite things back then. Except for his own family, he never let anyone else enter his precious study.
Fortunately, the Sheng Mingyuan family is quite knowledgeable, so things like the study room can remain as they were.
However, after taking down the calligraphy and painting, the two of them looked at it for a long time and found nothing special on the wall. It was just an ordinary wall.
"Is it possible that you remembered it wrong? Or maybe Sheng Mingyuan has moved the calligraphy and paintings in this room? Let's take down all the other calligraphy and paintings and take a look."
Sheng Yan naturally believed in what Su Li said about the secret room in this room. However, after so many years, it was very possible that he could not remember the location or that the location had changed.
The two of them painted for half an hour before taking down all the calligraphy and paintings on the wall and putting them into boxes. The wall was bare. If you look closely, you can still see traces of calligraphy and paintings that had been hung before.
In other words, these calligraphy and paintings have been hung in the same location for many years and have not been moved.
I carefully looked at the calligraphy and painting in other places. Just like behind the original calligraphy and painting, there was no obvious mechanism.
Su Li was almost discouraged, "Could it be that I had a more realistic dream? After so many years, it was remembered as reality by me?"
Sheng Yan was still touching the wall behind the original calligraphy and painting inch by inch. Since it was a secret room and had not been discovered for so many years, the mechanism would naturally not be so obvious.
"You are not an abnormal person. The organization must be relatively secretive. I will take a look."
After touching it for a while, Sheng Yan looked at the increasingly dark sky and lost her patience, "Forget it, I'm not in a hurry now."
"Fortunately, this study room still maintains its original appearance and does not need to be renovated. You can come to it anytime. It is already late today. Just put the valuable things in this room and lock them up. We can start looking for decoration workers tomorrow."
Sheng Yan took off his gloves and put them aside, then pulled Su Li out of the study.
Except for the jade hairpin, Sheng Yan put everything else in the study, and then asked the lock changer to come and change the lock in the study.
"Isn't it going to be renovated tomorrow? Why do we need to change the locks tonight?" Su Li thought of something as soon as he asked this question, "Are you worried that your second uncle and his family will come back to steal things again?"
Sheng Yan nodded. Although Sheng Yan asked them for the keys to some door locks of the villa when they left just now, this does not mean that they have handed over all the keys.
When the time comes, they can come back with their own things and take away some antiques from the study. Sheng Yan can't make them spit it out anymore. After all, they still need evidence.
By the time the locks were changed and all the doors in the villa were locked, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
Both of them were tired and didn't want to drive, so they called Si Ren over.
"Why don't you stay in this house at this late hour? It's the boss's house anyway, isn't it?"
Si Ren drove in front, while Sheng Yan and Su Li sat slumped in the back. They had been busy all day and neither of them wanted to say another word.
Su Li half-opened his eyes and looked into Si Ren's eyes from the rearview mirror in front of the car. "Don't ask. If you ask, I'll drive them away. I'll explain it to you when I'm free. I'm too tired now."
After saying that, she closed her eyes again, and soon she heard the sound of even breathing.
Si Ren in front seemed to have not noticed yet and talked excitedly for a long time.
"Did you drive Sheng Mingyuan's family out of the villa? It should have been done a long time ago. I don't know what the boss was thinking. She didn't even drive them out despite telling her before..."
After talking for about five or six minutes, he found that no one in the back seat paid attention to him, and then Si Ren saw that they were all asleep.
The next day, Sheng Yan began to select some reliable decoration teams. Because she did not have the drawings of the previous house and only had some pictures saved on her mobile phone, ordinary decoration teams probably could not meet her requirements.
In addition to the decoration team, a very reliable designer is also needed. Sheng Yan has not had many contacts with strangers in recent years, so she really couldn't find a suitable one for a while.
Su Li and Ling Boxuan were both abroad before, so naturally they were not very familiar with them in China. As for Si Ren, they were even less reliable.
Just when Sheng Yan was at a loss what to do, Jing Yuheng sent a message.
'I heard that you are looking for a decoration team and designer. I happen to know a reliable designer. She has a decoration team of her own. She is very reliable. I will recommend it to you. '
Then a business card was sent to her. Sheng Yan looked at the profile picture of the designer that Jing Yuheng pushed over, and then looked at the alternative designer in her hand. It was really her - Qiao Xin.
Qiao Xin is a well-known designer in China with a very good reputation. As long as she is her employer, no one who fails to praise her is full of praise.
If it were her, Sheng Yan really wouldn't worry about not being able to recover the photos in her hands.
She also wanted to choose this designer at first, but when Su Li contacted her, he directly rejected her, saying that she had received many other orders recently and was too busy, so she would not take it this year.
Sheng Yan had no friendship with others, and it was not easy to force others, so she had no choice but to give up.
Seeing the business card sent by Jing Yuheng, she hesitated before adding it. She couldn't wait to restore the villa to the way it was when her parents lived there.
'I've already said hello to the designer, just ask her directly. '
Just as the message requesting to add friends was sent, another message came from Jing Yuheng.
