An Ning continued picking the lock without a moment's hesitation. With a soft CLICK, the heavy door swung open.
An Ning rose to her feet and handed the piece of wire from her palm to Shen Weidong. "Then I'll leave you to handle the registration."
Shen Weidong gave a slightly awkward laugh. "I have a feeling we'll have more opportunities to work together in the future," he said, half-joking.

Pretending to search the area, An Ning first silently subdued Tao Quan's mother. Then, just as the team was hunting for Tao Quan, she made a surprising discovery: a secret room in the kitchen.
Shen Weidong, who was right behind her, immediately handed the wire back to An Ning. An Ning quickly began picking the lock.
