Chapter 216 - Near That Book

"I must have eaten something bad in the afternoon," Soohyun said, "My stomach is hurting a lot now, and I think I need to go to the washroom."

Although her excuse was not creative, it was extremely believable and reliable. Moon Seungmin possibly could not stop her from visiting the washroom.

"Washroom? You as well? Do I need to bring some medicines for you?" Seungmin questioned as his eyes stared at her suspiciously. As she was now Han Minhyun's wife, he was trying to show his concern for her.

As the creases between both of her eyebrows deepened, Lee Soohyun pressed on her stomach tighter and said, "Yes, I have to go; It is an emergency. I will be going off then, and about the medicine, I have them in bag. You don't need to show me the way; I remember it."

"Sure then," Seungmin vocalised, "You—"

Before Moon Seungmin could continue, Soohyun rushed towards the direction of the door, and opening the door, she ran out of the room whilst slamming shut the door behind her, creating a loud noise.

As Lee Soohyun stood in front of the door to the storeroom, she stared at her surroundings and had no clue on what to do. It was as if Han Minhyun heard her worries at that moment, her phone rang up at that moment.

Taking out her phone from her coat's pocket, she received the call and placed the phone beside her ear after reading Han Minhyun's name on top of the screen.

"In front of you, there is a cupboard, right?" Han Minhyun questioned.

Spotting the dusty and old wooden cupboard at corner of the storeroom, Lee Soohyun vocalised, "Yes, I can see it."

"It should not be much heavy. Move it, and after that, you will be seeing a door in front of you. Enter the room through that door," Minhyun instructed.

"Alright," Lee Soohyun vocalised before Minhyun hung up the call. 

Taking in a deep breath, Soohyun hung up the call, and after placing the phone inside her pocket, she walked towards the cupboard. Clapping both of her hands together, she decided to use all of the strength she had garnered from the training in order to move the cupboard in front of her.

As her hands held on to the wooden cupboard in front of her, she put in her maximum strength in order to push the cupboard in front of her. The surface of the cupboard felt rough to her touch, and couple of splinters poked into her hand.

Nonetheless, Lee Soohyun found herself being unaffected by it due to the amount of training she had gone through, and a small smile formed on her face when she noticed that the cupboard was slowly moving forward.

Dust fell upon her, and various spider webs behind the cupboard came to her sight. Whilst coughing at the dust present, Soohyun finally managed to move the entire cupboard.

Just as Han Minhyun had said, there was door in front of her, and it appeared the handle to the door was somewhat broken. Extending her hand towards it, Lee Soohyun pushed it downwards to open the door.

The door appeared to be couple of decades old, which made Soohyun wonder on what possibly could be behind it. The door did nothing to provide security to whatever was behind it.

The dim lighting made it difficult for Lee Soohyun to make out what was inside the room from outside, and therefore, as she walked into the room, things began to turn more clear.

That's when, her sight fell upon two figures staring at her. Seeing them gaze upon her like all of a sudden made Soohyun shudder, and fortunately for her, she did not let out a squeal or jump.

Lee Soohyun recognized one of them as Han Minhyun, and a frown formed upon her face when she noticed that Ahn Eunwoo was standing beside Minhyun. 

She recalled about their last encounter, which had her curiosity intensifying, and Soohyun did not miss how he scoffed at her. Luckily enough, she had good self-control over herself or else she would have punched the man in front of her. 

She did not do anything to him yet, and he was staring her in a such a patronizing way. No wonder he had a face similar to that cousin of her boss.

Both of them felt equally irritating to Soohyun at this moment.

Guessing what his purpose for being here could be, she walked towards Han Minhyun and raised one of her eyebrows. 

She then questioned, "What is the important matter you needed me for?"

"Try to go near that book," Han Minhyun vocalised.

Soohyun noticed how Minhyun used the word try, and this made her wonder on about what was going on in Minhyun's mind.

Nonetheless, she nodded, and abiding by Han Minhyun's words, Lee Soohyun stepped forward towards the direction of the book.

Her eyes fell upon the book kept into the gla.s.s casing, and she noticed how that there was keypad for typing in the pa.s.sword. Although the cover to the book appeared to be quite old, it seemed to kept in a good condition.

"Wait," Han Minhyun said, causing Soohyun to immediately stop within her steps.

Wondering what the reason between Minhyun's sudden words could be, Soohyun immediately halted in her steps, and turning back to face Minhyun, she questioningly stared at him.

"Before going there, extend your hand first, and with your hand raised forward, move towards the book," Minhyun said.

The confusion showed on Soohyun's words immediately after Han Minhyun had let out those words of his. Nevertheless, she knew that they lacked time, and therefore, not questioning about it, she did as Minhyun had told her to do.

Ahn Eunwoo, on the other hand, understood what Minhyun was trying to do. As Moon Jiwoo was from the Yellow Clan, he wanted to check whether or not she could pa.s.s through without being hurt, and if she manages to enter in, the barrier around the mansion will weaken unless or until it is activated by someone else again.
