260 Whats That Got to Do with Us? (1/2)

Su Zheng was not as soft as she appeared; Luo Mingxin knew that. Su Zheng was not a good person either; Luo Mingxin knew that. When he first met the girl, she had been staying at Ye Shuang's place, teaching the girl how to steal. Then, after a brief conversation, he had found out that Su Zheng was a team member working for another agent. Therefore, based on these few observations, Luo Mingxin had enough information to confirm that Su Zheng was another expert in another field.

This was definitely bad news.

To make matters worse, this pair was comprised of people who would not rest until they saw the world burn. Even though they did not have a close relationship with Luo Mingxin, whenever they unleashed their ultimate ability, Luo Mingxin happened to be around.

This was a despairing acknowledgement.

Luo Mingxin tried to hold the awkward smile on his face, to maintain the grace of him being a celebrity. ”Miss Su, do you mind if I ask how you found out about the problem with their safe?”

Su Zheng's professional skill was not to be questioned, so Luo Mingxin was not questioning her observation conclusion. What he minded was, the security safe was something that people would take efforts to hide from the public eyes; they would not put them in a public place for people to see. Therefore, no matter how hard he tried not to believe it, Luo Mingxin had already guessed the answer.

”Oh, I heard that they have just installed the latest security system, so I sneaked in to take a look.”

Of course, the answer given by Su Zheng shattered Luo Mingxin's heart immediately—it was illegal trespassing. Ye Shuang's moral value was not as upright as Luo Mingxin. She only thought that Su Zheng was brave. After all, middle-tier agents had already approached some gray areas even though they were mostly at the edge. Furthermore, there were rules to be followed, so Su Zheng would not have done anything that was over the line. Therefore, instead of worrying about her mental health like Luo Mingxin, Ye Shuang was more concerned about the problem that Su Zheng discovered. ”Other than the alarm being tweaked, did you notice anything else?”

Su Zheng sat down next to Ye Shuang excitedly. Her eyes turned one round. When she met Luo Mingxin's eyes, she even rewarded him with a huge grin. Then she lowered her voice mysteriously and shared her findings. ”Sister Shuang, you know about the type of alarm. Normally, whenever the safe is moved even slightly, the alarm will be triggered. It might be a sound or some kind of trap, or a message will be sent to the owner… This type of thing needs a good sensitivity, but I noticed the sensitivity was lowered.”

Then Su Zheng even explained the situation to Luo Mingxin, who might not get it. ”For example, if I knocked on the safe lightly, if everything was working fine, the alarm would be triggered. However, since the sensitivity had been lowered, you'd need to whack it with a hammer to trigger the alarm… I suspect this is an inside job.”

”Why would you think so?” Ye Shuang asked with interest.

Su Zheng started to analyze with Luo Mingxin watching on in pain. ”We'll need to go back to the alarm. The alarm was neutralized by tweaking with its sensitivity instead of knocking it out directly. This proves that the person did not need to use violence to deal with the safe, and the safe did look perfectly fine from the outside. However, since they had used a soft method like finding the password to open the safe, no matter how they did it, it would take quite a bit of time.

”Of course, if it's an expert like myself, the time taken will be shorter!”

While she was analyzing, she did not forget to praise herself.

”These steps are conducted one by one. First was to deal with the alarm; this would take quite a bit of time and expertise. If it's an inside job, then the traitor would ask for outside help to complete this step. Then after that, they would find the chance to slowly solve the password; this would require them to stay inside the study for an extended period of time and bringing in more outside help. To be able to gain access to the study while bringing an outsider, and they would not be discovered when they committed to these two steps that would require a lot of time; it would have to be someone who was one of the owners of this villa.”

Based on the standard with which the level of society that could own a safe, these steps were more standard. If someone could solve these two steps on their own, at most, it was combining the two times into one—the time required in total was still the same.

There was another point that Su Zheng did not say, but Ye Shuang happened upon it on her own. Both the safe and the alarm were touched, but they looked normal on the surface. This meant that the culprit did not want their deed to be exposed so soon.

Luo Mingxin finished the glass of wine to steady his nerves. Then he stood up with a bitter smile. ”I think I should go find Mr. Xia to talk about the film.”

”Huh? What, you're leaving after we've just revealed such an important secret? You'll make me suspect that you're going to tell on us.” Su Zheng widened her eyes in confusion.

Luo Mingxin was speechless. ”I personally think that you should have asked me to leave from the beginning.”
