h4Chapter 169: Chapter 167: There Are More Solutions Than Difficulties/h4

    After leaving the office, Elliana Lyle let out a long sigh, then took the elevator downstairs and naturally walked out of the White Orchidpany gates.

    Before long, she hurriedly returned and went straight to the reception desk.

    "Hello, can you help me check the surveince footage?" Elliana’s face was anxious, and her tone was hurried: "I lost my earring, it’s quite valuable, it was still there when I came."

    After speaking, she pointed to her earlobe.

    The receptionist looked and indeed saw that an earring was missing, so without any hesitation, she said to her: "Miss Lyle, pleasee with me."

    "Alright."

    It worked. She quickly followed the receptionist’s steps all the way to the surveince room.

    "Uncle Yang, could you help..."

    Inside the surveince room, there was only a middle-aged man with stubble, who looked very honest.

    The receptionist called him Uncle Yang, and, with a nervous heart, she quickly scanned the entire room.

    The mainputer was under the desk, which is where the middle-aged man was sitting.

    The receptionist was asking Uncle Yang to pull up the earlier footage, and she also leaned over, pretending to look at the screen.

    Taking advantage of the moment when the two were helping her search carefully for the earring, she quickly maneuvered to plug the USB drive into theputer host.

    Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, theputer screen suddenly went ck!

    "Hey?" The two of them eximed and turned to look at Elliana, asking, "Miss Lyle, did you touch the power supply?"

    "..." She swore she hadn’t touched the power supply.

    She took a small step back, feeling a bit embarrassed, and said, "Sorry!"

    Uncle Yang bent down to check the power, while the receptionist seemed to receive an important phone call and left after bowing slightly with her headset on.

    Afterwards, Uncle Yang checked around, looking at the still-lit mainputer, and murmured, "No, it’s still on, what’s going on?" He said as he went to check the power strip.

    When Elliana turned her gaze from the doorway back to theputer screen, her pupils gradually dted, and her face immediately froze!

    On theputer screen at this moment was a blue progress bar that read, [System intrusion in progress...]

    Goodness! Luna never told her anything this detailed, and if someone saw this, she couldn’t exin her way out of it!

    "Tsk?" Uncle Yang couldn’t figure out the reason, and was about to look up when the data bar on theputer was only halfway there!

    She had no choice but to panic and shout, "A rat!"

    "Huh? A rat! Where’s the rat?" Uncle Yang was startled by her shout, quickly stood up from his chair, and looked around with his head down.

    "Over there!" Elliana had to point under the wired-up table.

    Uncle Yang followed the direction she pointed and started to seriously search for the so-called "rat."

    After searching for a while with no sess, Uncle Yang looked at her and said, "No? Miss, are you sure you’re not mistaken?" Although the area under the table was quite messy, it was still clear.

    Elliana took two small steps back, shaking her head and said, "I just saw a little ck shadow."

    Uncle Yang put his head back under the table, and then discovered a hole in the tile floor beneath, quickly said, "Oh no! It’s a rat hole, did a rat bite the line?"

    "Probably." She continued to humor the man while nervously watching the screen, her heart pounding rapidly as she silently urged: Faster, faster...

    Ny-six percent...

    Ny-eight percent...

    [Complete√]

    Seeing theputer back to normal, the heavy stone in her heart finally fell.

    At this time, Uncle Yang picked up a newspaper from the desk, seemingly intending to block the rat hole, but upon seeing theputer screen was restored, he decided to resume searching for her missing earring.

    The earring was finally found in the elevator, and it was because she had secretly loosened the sp herself, causing it to fall off.

    After leaving White Orchid again, she returned to her car, drove to a roadside at an open park, and then parked.

    Opening the app Luna had sent her, after some English text appeared, she essed a rtivelyplex page, following the step-by-step screenshots Luna had given her, and eventually she obtained the ability to control White Orchid’s surveince.

    She could also investigate White Orchid’s surveince!

    A sh of insight crossed her mind: if she could ess the surveince, wouldn’t she not have to look for it herself!

    However, reality proved she was overthinking it; White Orchid’s surveince wasn’t everywhere.

    But she remembered there was surveince in Brian White’s office—could it be that the office surveince wasn’t managed by the surveince room?

    Thinking of this, she decided to consult Luna first.

    Luna (Master):

    "What are you afraid of, put on a hood, no one will recognize you."

    Catcat: "Are you serious?"

    Luna (Master): "Just kidding, this kind of surveince usually isn’t in the monitoring room on the first floor, there is a way, but I don’t think you could manage it."

    Catcat: "So there’s no way then?"

    Luna (Master): "There is a way; you go to the power room and turn off the power, this is called a physical cheat."

    Reading this, Elliana was somewhat speechless, but it wasn’t a bad idea.

    She observed White Orchid’s surveince and located the power room, which seemed to be locked, and there probably wasn’t any surveince inside, so getting in wouldn’t be easy.

    Plus, she had to take the elevator upstairs, even if she turned off the power, she’d have to climb the stairs!

    This was simply...

    It appeared this was definitely not a job suitable for her.

    Just as she was still thinking, she saw an electrician directly pressing the door handle and entering the power room, which meant the door wasn’t locked.

    ...

    ―――Night fell.

    There must have been some overtime workers at White Orchid, so thepany door hadn’t been locked yet.

    Sitting in the car, Elliana was eating Luosifen delivered as takeout while keeping an eye on her phone. Honestly, she’d been watching the whole afternoon.

    Midnight struck 12.

    The overtime workers had all left, and even the uncle on duty in the surveince room had fallen asleep.

    Only then did she get out of the car, realizing some things were easy to say but difficult to do.

    First, she shut down the surveince and then openly sneaked in.

    When she entered the power room, she realized there were numerous circuit breakers. Just as she was about to turn off the main breaker, a peculiar thought hit her.

    The office of the nning Department seemed to have a keypad lock...

    Without the key after cutting the power, and she couldn’t pick a lock.

    She truly didn’t know why she hade here.

    (●—●).

    Three in the morning.

    Elliana climbed out from the seventh-floormon area window. Outside the building was a row of small ledges, seemingly designed to facilitate air conditioner instation.

    Unexpectedly, they served her purpose.

    However, the small ledge was only about 20 centimeters wide, and the wall had nothing to grip; below her feet was sheer height, and falling would surely meet a tragic end.

    She pondered a bit...

    Just when she was considering giving up, she heard footsteps and voices seeming to head in her direction!

    At this moment, she stood on the ledge, and staying like this she’d surely be discovered; the only way not to be seen was to move to the right.

    She fought hard not to look down, sticking close to the wall, and began to edge sideways.

    Even though it was only a few steps away, cold sweat drenched her body; thest time she traversed such a ledge was in a hospital when the worst oue would have been a scolding from Norman Bet. But now, if discovered, she’d be in for questioning!

    Moreover, she was a celebrity; being exposed online would spell the end of her career!
