"Take a photo and then I'll download the matching software for the brand to see if I can crack the password," Nie Longjiao said.
Xiao Feng locked the screen on his phone and laughed: "No need, what you can find out, the police can't? I'll just call my apprentice and have him send the video."
"Then earlier you..."
"I just wanted to show you the difference between using your brain and just using brute force."
"..." Nie Longjiao.
Xiao Feng made the call, and straightforwardly put forth his request.
Di Junxiong hesitated for a long mont, then said he would send Xiao Feng a web link after ending the call.
The hesitation ca because this clearly didn't adhere to regulations, but considering his ntor's status and that Nie Longjiao was a victim in this matter, it wasn't exactly breaking the rules.
"Do you have a computer?" Xiao Feng asked.
"I have one in my room." Nie Longjiao led the way, heading to her small room on the first floor.
The room was simply furnished: a single bed, a computer desk, and a foldable wardrobe against the wall.
After turning on the computer and inputting the account password from Di Junxiong's link, a series of grids appeared, with surveillance logs calculated by the hour, going back as far as half a month, which was three hundred and ten hours.
Nie Longjiao wasn't interested in what Zhao Ce was doing in the room, she began watching footage from an hour ago.
Xiao Feng pulled up a small stool and sat beside her to watch.
Choosing to watch at a faster speed, Nie Longjiao quickly understood exactly what happened in Zhao Ce's room.
When she saw Xiao Feng rush in to save her, stars seed to shimr in her eyes.
She wanted to turn her head to see the expression of the person beside her but resisted the impulse.
Finished watching the surveillance, a weight lifted from Nie Longjiao's heart.
"Whew..."
But the sound of the deep breath ca from Xiao Feng.
Nie Longjiao turned her head, curiosity in her eyes, and heard him say: "Thank goodness."
"What... thank goodness?" Nie Longjiao blushed slightly, lowering her head as if she already knew the answer.
However, Xiao Feng replied: "Thank goodness I didn't take advantage of you while you were unconscious, like sneaking a kiss or sothing, otherwise, my tall image would be completely ruined."
"You actually thought about doing that to ?" Nie Longjiao playfully scolded, yet it was clear she wasn't truly angry.
Xiao Feng joked as well: "Sounds like you don't have much confidence in your looks then!"
Both exchanged smiles, and the atmosphere loosened up.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be heading out," Xiao Feng stood up to leave.
"Leaving so soon?" Nie Longjiao raised her brows slightly.
Xiao Feng blinked, puzzled: "If you're hoping I'll keep reminding you or scolding you thoroughly to teach you a lesson, then forget it.
If you haven't learned from this encounter, I'd say you're beyond saving."
Nie Longjiao knew he misunderstood her and, glancing at the ti, said: "I ant, you probably haven't had dinner yet?
How about staying and having a al before leaving?"
"No need." Xiao Feng shook his head in refusal.
His purpose in coming was to rescue Nie Longjiao. Now that she was safe, there was no need to stay, plus at the hotel, over a hundred wealthy neighbors were waiting for him.
Nie Longjiao opened her mouth but did not continue insisting, instead saying: "I owe you once again."
"So you owe then." Xiao Feng didn't mind: "Maybe soday you'll repay it, we have many days ahead!"
With that, he opened the door and walked out.
Nie Longjiao moved to the door, watching Xiao Feng's departing figure in a daze.
"Many days ahead..." she murmured softly: "That's right, many days ahead!"
...
New Year's Day marks the beginning of the Gregorian calendar.
It should be a scene of firecrackers sounding, lively celebration.
However, with recent years' restrictions on fireworks, it's rare to hear the sound of firecrackers.
Especially around the Spring Festival, many complain about the lack of festive spirit.
This is true, but few would risk detention and fines by violating the rules.
"I underestimated him," Bai Huanyu, sitting in the courtyard, looked up at the starry night sky, his gaze profound, his tone calm.
Beside him, Bai Tieniu sat with his head lowered, hardly daring to breathe.
The loss of money was secondary; mainly he feared his father would hold a negative view of him because of this.
"Bring the book I placed under my pillow, then go rest," Bai Huanyu said plainly.
"Yes!" Bai Tieniu replied with relief, the tension in his chest finally dispersing.
Holding the thumbed-through Book of Changes, Bai Huanyu furrowed his eyebrows, contemplating where things went wrong.
When he left the house that morning, the divination clearly indicated success, so how could things end this way?
After a long while, Bai Huanyu's eyes lit up as if he found the source of the issue.
"The divination revealed not only about myself but also Xiao Feng's grand opening." Bai Huanyu murmured to himself: "A successful grand opening is a success, and surviving a great danger, a narrow escape, can't also be considered success?
But this explanation seems rather far-fetched."
Closing the book, Bai Huanyu sighed deeply: "I've pondered half my life, yet still don't fully understand, it's difficult, truly difficult."
The path of taphysics was elusive, so he decided to think from a strategic angle instead.
Bai Huanyu believed his downfall was due to overconfidence, causing Xiao Feng to disrupt all his plans by deviating from logic.
Nevertheless, this is rely the beginning; one failure isn't a big deal.
With a snort, Bai Huanyu took out his new phone and called a number without a saved na.
The call was quickly answered, a woman's voice sounded: "What do you wish?"
"Now, play to your strengths, find a way to win over Xiao Feng," Bai Huanyu whispered: "No rush, but rember, don't leave a bad impression, nor a good one.
Once it's done, you'll receive an unimaginable sum, enough to go anywhere and do anything you dread."
After a brief silence on the line, the woman's voice responded: "Alright, I'll start preparing."
Bai Huanyu was about to hang up, but reconsidered and added: "Don't waste my years of nurturing..."
"Understood!"
With a click, Bai Huanyu raised his head to look at the night sky again, smirking: "From ancient tis, heroes fall for beauties, and you're not even a hero!
Think you're the only one who can play tricks?
Just watch how the brewing storm over Jiangcheng will ultimately settle in whose hands!"
Finished speaking, his left hand instinctively began calculating, observing the stars above.
After a while, Bai Huanyu reached a conclusion, tomorrow... it will storm!
Just as he drew his conclusion, his phone chid with a notification.
Bai Huanyu picked up his phone, seeing a notice titled "Local Weather Station Issues Orange Rainstorm Warning."
