The winter solstice was long over, and the sky took a lot longer to become dark.

Dusk had fallen, so Wang Qian and Li Kun rushed back underneath the dim night sky to check around the store and make sure there weren't any customers inside. Then, they took out a package from their bag that was the size of a fist. The box looked unusually crude, with a few words simply written on it. Security Monitoring Device.

”Master, we bought you this from Computer City.” Wang Qian handed the package over to Zhang Zian. ”Do you want to take a look at it and see if this was what you wanted?”

Zhang Zian opened up a tiny slit in the package, roughly looked inside and said, ”Is there an invoice?”

”Nope,” replied Li Kun truthfully, ”the worker from Computer City said another 10 would be charged for an invoice, so I told him that we didn't need one or a receipt.”

”Great, no invoice is good.” Zhang Zian nodded his head in satisfaction. ”We'll finish off early today. You two can start packing up now.”

Wang Qian and Li Kun exchanged glances. They both were puzzled because the surveillance camera above the cashier counter wasn't broken—so why did he feel the sudden urge to buy another camera out of nowhere?

That afternoon, Zhang Zian had sent the both of them on a trip down to Computer City to purchase a surveillance camera. He specifically reminded them that the smaller the camera the better, and that no invoice was needed.

Normally, it was cheaper to buy one from an online electronic store. It would come with a better guarantee on both quality and warranty, and also had a free refund policy. So why would Zhang Zian send them down to Computer City for the purchase?

Taking a moment to think, it was probably for two reasons. One, Zhang Zian needed it urgently, so buying it from a physical store would be faster as they would immediately get the product. As for the second reason, it would leave an online transaction trail, allowing the possibility of getting tracked. Purchasing the device from a physical store without an invoice was relatively safer.

When the two of them told Zhang Zian that the Computer City worker didn't require an invoice or receipt, he gave them both a look of understanding, leaving them with an indescribable feeling.

Zhang Zian told them to clean up the first floor, while he took the package and headed up to the second floor.

He opened up the box and took out a camera that was shaped like a miniature flashlight. Calling it a pinhole camera would be taking it a little too far as it wasn't that small, but it was definitely a great camera for candid shots.

The instruction manual was simple. There were only two pages, the front and back of one paper. Zian briefly read through it, getting a general idea on how to use the device. Then he took out a TransFlash memory card, that hadn't been used in a very long time, and inserted it into the memory card slot.

According to the manual, its battery life was around 7 to 8 hours. Based on that information, it should at the very least be able to work for 6 hours. Even if Zian turned on the infrared night vision function, the camera should still work for at least 3 hours, and that would be long enough.

Famous, who was already waiting on the second floor, curiously examined the miniature camera and asked, ”Were there no smaller ones?”

”The smaller ones were too expensive. It wouldn't be cost-effective, so try to make do with this one.” Zhang Zian held up the camera up against its body, trying to figure out where he should set it up.

”How about I place it on your head?” Zian suggested.

”No!” Famous rejected flatly. ”This affects my image!”

It was obvious that the camera could only be placed near the front of Famous's body, leaving only a few options.

Zhang Zian held it up against its neck. ”How about I fix it to the side of your neck?”

Its black collar matched the black camera, and it would be hard to notice without paying close attention.

This time Famous didn't refuse. Zhang Zian brought out some double-sided tape and stuck the camera to the side of its collar. He waited for a moment before pulling on it. It seemed to be firmly stuck on, and as long as the camera wasn't roughly pulled on with a lot of force it wouldn't come off so easily.

”Zian, do I get one too?” Old Time Tea asked from the side.

”You don't need one, this one is enough,” replied Famous on his behalf.

This plan was started by Famous, but it had asked Old Time Tea to help them along and Old Time Tea gladly obliged.

The operation was very simple. Famous and Old Time Tea would sneak into Love Lovely Pets Breeding Base with the camera, and take pictures of what they thought was suspicious. Then, they'd come back and have Zhang Zian examine their evidence. If there was anything illegal or incriminating found, they would immediately contact the police.
