"Anyway, let's first observe the surroundings."
Li Ang scanned the room. Aside from the lampshade, the ceiling had the grid-like air conditioning vent, a smoke detector, and a fire sprinkler system.
If the smoke detector senses thick smoke, it will sound an alarm, while the lotus-like sprinkler begins to spray water or fire suppressant.
"Sounding the alarm might startle the real culprit, and having the sprinkler start spraying doesn't seem to help my current situation—the handcuffs are very tight, and even with water or fire suppressant, it's unlikely I can use lubrication to slip my wrists out of the handcuffs."
Li Ang's gaze swept through the room, finally settling on the padlock.
From its appearance, this padlock is the most ordinary straight-opening padlock,
with a silver-white shackle and a brass-yellow body,
entirely made of stainless steel,
with a slotted-lock core.
It's indistinguishable from the locks usually used on bedside tables or wardrobes.
