Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife novel Chapter 1359

Erica quietly walked out from behind the cabinet and approached the man. She acted quickly and accurately. When the man heard a noise, he turned around and was greeted by Erica as she sprayed him three or four times in the face.

Before the drug could take effect, though, he shouted, "It's you! Erma Huo!" The next moment, he took out the cellphone from his pocket to notify the others about what was happening.

At the same time, Erica reached out, trying to grab the phone, but the man kept his grip so tight around the device that she wasn't able to snatch it from him.

Luckily, the drug soon began to take effect as he loosened his grip. With his eyes already closed, his body slid down from the chair until it was on the ground.

Erica heaved a sigh of relief and turned off his phone before throwing it aside. Then the room was finally on the clear for her to look into it.

On the surface, there didn't seem to be anything special about the house, but since it was guarded by more than ten people every day, there must be something hidden inside it.

Erica suddenly regretted drugging that last man. If she had thought about it earlier, she would have threatened and forced him to tell her what the secret they kept in the house was instead.

Yet she didn't have much time to think about it now. The effect of the drug wouldn't last long, so she had to continue to inspect the room before they woke up.

A couple of minutes later, as Erica was fumbling around one of the cabinets, her hand accidentally bumped into something, causing the seemingly fixed furniture to start moving.

Carefully, she took two steps back while she watched the cabinet rotating one hundred and eighty degrees.

When it finally stopped moving, she strode forward and noticed a square-shaped hole on the ground. Taking a closer look at it, she realized there was a way down to a basement.

She was immediately led to believe that all of Kirk and Pike's secrets should be hidden in that basement.

Erica briefly looked back at the group of people still asleep behind her and then went down the hole without hesitation.

At first glance, she noticed the place was quite spacious. On the long table at the center, there were all kinds of bottles at disposal. Two people had their backs to her, and they didn't seem to have heard her coming down. Anyway, she had no clear sight of what they were doing so intently.

When Erica took her final step down, the cabinet restored to its original place, sealing the basement entrance once again.

With no way of going back, she quietly hid behind a shelf and took out a dagger in case she needed to protect herself.

Erica's attention was immediately grabbed by lots of white powder in several airtight bags over the shelf. She bent over to smell one of them but didn't find a scent.

All of a sudden, one of the two men turned around with a glass tube in his hand. However, Erica couldn't name the kind of chemical liquid which was inside it.

She took the opportunity to photograph them anyway.

Gladly, her camera was soundless, or else she would have been caught.

She also took photos of the stuff on the shelf. She could tell they weren't good news. If her feeling about them was right, these were the type of powder that couldn't just destroy a man's body but also his spirit.

She registered everything within her reach. As she quietly moved, she inadvertently saw a huge cage hanging from the ceiling.

'What's that in the cage? Wait! Is it a person?!'

Erica was suddenly so frightened that she had to bring a hand over her mouth in order to muffle a shriek.

The person was lying unconscious in the cage and covered in blood. She couldn't tell whether the person was dead or alive.

But before she could take any action, a big noise came from above the basement. The cabinet moved again, freeing the access downstairs. "Go down and take a look!" someone shouted.

"Yes, sir!"

Erica cried in her mind, 'Oh no!'

She quickly stepped back and hid herself in the corner.

Two men hurried downstairs as one of them shouted, "Hey, did you see anyone come down?"

The men, who had been working in the basement, turned to them and looked around before they shook their heads and said, "No."
