Feeling sothing amiss, Athena kept track of the previous truck and also searched for the data from the company it belonged. The ti and place matched.
Because the CCTV she accessed, couldn't capture faces inside, she had nowhere to begin the link. Athena dug deeper, hacking the company's server to obtain the na lists of staff who had duties today, relevant to the bank.
There, she found three males. None of them exhibited any threats and this conjecture was confird after Athena sifted through their backgrounds. Ordinary people supporting their families.
But her suspicion rose again when she couldn't locate the location of the trio's phones. The last phone usage was far away from here.
Athena faced limitations for the first ti. She knew she would one day, like the current scenario, where the staff turned off the phones on purpose collectively or they weren't the three n, Athena found from the beginning.
Just when Athena was about to remind Ling Qingyu, a sudden change inside the bank caught her attention. She had been monitoring the caras inside the bank as protection for her mother.
The mont all the CCTVs snapped from disconnection, a huge alarm bell rang. She instantly paged her mother that there could be danger and to await rescue and further news.
Athena still wasn't certain of the true reason but losing visual wasn't good news and the situation had a 70 percent chance, sothing bad was about to happen.
When Athena figured out her connection with Ling Qingyu's electronic glasses and mobile phone had inexplicably weakened, the probability beca a certainty.
Based on the level of network blockades, soone used low-grade jamr devices which Athena imdiately knew, that no civilians could reach outside for help, and was enough for certain parties to commit cris within a short period. What else but robbery from the suspicious people in the previous truck?
Besides, Athena concluded there should be more than three, possibly hidden in the compartnt behind.
Fortunately, the devices Ling Qingyu held were manufactured by herself with the utmost sophisticated technology and care. Even if interrupted by a strong military-use signal jamr, Athena had tested her products still worked extrely well.
So many black technologies popped out under her innovation and research. They were small things but showed usefulness in an extre situation like now.
Without wasting ti, Athena told Ling Qingyu her guess and her mother agreed with her idea, which made Athena jubilant with joy.s
Athena inford the patrolling Spirit Foxes nearby to set up a periter around the bank and to pressure the robbers inside. Naturally, she didn't forget to relay the ergency news to the headquarters.
Tang Ziyi, Xiao Yue, Su Ruoi, and Jiang Yu mobilized the troops quickly and left the residence in a big manner, leaving a portion of girls to guard the periter.
6 Aegis rolled down the road in a mighty manner followed by dozens of van. Sirens blared loud and fast exuding the urgency the convoy was burdened with.
In fact, Tang Ziyi's groups were shocked by the sudden news and panicked. However, after Athena relayed Ling Qingyu's ssage, people cald down. As a person who was very fearful of death, how could Ling Qingyu not see the dangers?
While the others might be apprehensive, Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue were relieved. They knew Ling Qingyu's secrets. The worst ca, Ling Qingyu would have to resort to using the bracelet.
At the sa ti, the information reached police stations nearby and to Cai Ning's ears. The police reacted fast but it would take half an hour before their action brought results while Ling Qingyu's guards could have arrived earlier, but the amount of ti taken wasn't satisfactory.
Everyone prayed hard that the fastest team held the ground and waited for further affairs. The only reliance was the Spirit Fox team nearby, because of Ling Qingyu's presence, in case sothing went wrong.
All the roads were about to be busy and filled with ergency vehicles. Surely, monts later, news would strike the internet communities again and make headlines again.
That would be a headache for officials like Yang Qingyue to fuss later. Right now was to treat this disease first.
While the chains of commands flowed across the system after Athena's reminder, she also warned Ling Qingyu's bodyguards, camping outside the bank.
"Okay, Girls. The truck we are suspicious of, brings robbers to the bank," said Athena through the radio channel. "Now the situation has likely developed to barricaded hostage one."
"One, received."
"Two, received. Our mbers will make a move."
"No, don't." Athena hurriedly stopped. Initially, she thought the sa but after a discussion with Ling Qingyu, she understood, that bodyguards initiating rescue could lead to several repercussions even if the rescue was successful.
If the circumstances were so dire, Ling Qingyu might agree with Athena's plan but the current robbery could also end in a peaceful manner.
"Why not, Athena?" The 1st leader almost blared into the radio. "Our boss is in danger and we must act. Not to ntion, this happens because of our dereliction of duties."
"You better give an explanation, Athena." 2nd leader followed. "Don't think that your prior success and contribution can overwhelm us."
Athena wanted to smash these girls' brains. How could she not be anxious? She was worse than them.
"Listen, I have my own reason and I don't have ti to argue with you. This is the direct order from Moth—Ms. Ling." Athena stated. "Although the robbers used jamr, they posed no threat to us. For now, we prepare and wait while I maintain contact with Ms. Ling.
You can act when your comrades arrive."
"Roger that." The two on the radios gritted their teeth and obliged.
"The bad news is that I'm blind inside—the CCTV system is cut off by these robbers. You're the only human intelligence I have. I don't need to say more what you need to do next."
"Understood."
The beautiful bodyguards, particularly the one sitting in the backseat, took the necessary tools in the trunk. Since they were riding in SUVs, they didn't need to go out to get their stuff.
Binoculars, rifles with attachnts already settled, body armor along with protective fragsuits, vests, magazines, helts…etc. Within a minute, everyone finished equipping and perford their roles.
Those with scopes tried to see through the bank interior from outside. They watched in silence as they saw several n, heads covered in black hoods and special codic expressions, stord the building and unleashed chaos. The sight was blurry with the crowd mingling into one another, making it hard to differentiate between non-threats and threats.
The girls sighed in relief as no gunshots occurred where hope for a peaceful outco was ideal. They dared not tackle the robbery, for fear of worsening without sufficient preparations. The longer the ti, the higher the probability of success.
The scenario had yet to prompt the group to spring into action. They had no intels, no plans, just plainly rushing in risked everything. How many enemies? Who were they? Were they trained or amateur? The slightest info had huge effects on the success.
Ling Qingyu's guards had no reason to assault unless these bastards sprayed their bullets on everyone. Of course, the priority to protect the asset (Ling Qingyu) might suffice as a strong motive but the catastrophic aftermath dissuaded Ling Qingyu, when it was against her low-key developnt plan.
So long as the robbers stuck to the code, they wouldn't act either.
