Hello Mr. King

Chapter 331 - Speak of the Devil

Chapter 331: Speak of the Devil

The building had a total of twenty-five floors. Yun Xiangxiang successfully reached the twenty-second floor. She just had to take the elevator once more to reach the top floor.

Song Mian also stood up, planning to meet Yun Xiangxiang now. Instead, he saw a car parked under the building.

“Young Master, it’s Eric.” Song Yao whispered to Song Mian when he saw people walking down, “He brought a lot of people, and a safety box.”

Based on the situation, it was to take a crucial piece of jewelry, that was why so many bodyguards escorted Eric.

Song Mian immediately sat down again, tapping quickly with his fingertips. He said to Yun Xiangxiang while operating, “Eric is here.”

“What?” Yun Xiangxiang lowered her voice in surprise. Eric would take the exclusive elevator.

Now the elevator stopped on the twenty-second. They used the time difference between the inter-floor patrols to extinguish the lights on the elevator accurately.

As soon as Eric went in and clicked his elevator on the first floor, he would find that the elevator was on the twenty-second floor.

It goes without saying that he would instantly turn on all alarm systems when someone invaded the building.

“Don’t worry, leave it to me, just find a place to hide and pay attention to the patrol team’s route.” Song Mian guided tenderly.

Yun Xiangxiang calmed herself down, “I know, don’t you worry about me.”

There was no way to enter the elevator now. The twenty-second floor was different from the floors below. They were all high-level management offices. There was no possibility of simply entering them. There were very few hidden places around. Moreover, there was an infrared radio alarm system nearby.

Yun Xiangxiang turned away from the guards first and waited until Song Mian had settled the elevator.

On Song Mian’s end, the data displayed was refreshed continuously. Eric walked to the exclusive elevator at a leisurely pace.

The moment Eric’s finger hit the elevator, it showed completion on Song Mian’s side. He turned away to operate the other areas.

Eric pressed the elevator, but it didn’t respond even after he pressed it another two times.

At this time, the guard in charge of the first floor immediately notified the monitoring room by phone, “The president’s elevator is malfunctioning.”

When the monitoring room looked over, the display showed the president’s exclusive elevator parked quietly on the first floor without anyone inside.

“There are no issues.” The monitoring room replied.

“President, the elevator is malfunctioning. Do we notify someone to repair it now?” The guard asked for instructions.

Since it was normal for an elevator to malfunction unexpectedly, Eric did not suspect a thing, especially since the monitoring room did not see a problem.

After instructing to let someone repair it the next day, Eric turned and walked towards the regular elevator and entered it.

He pressed the twenty-second floor, as the regular employee elevator could not reach the twenty-fifth floor.

“Eric will arrive on the twenty-second floor in a hundred and ten seconds.” Song Mian informed Yun Xiangxiang.

Yun Xiangxiang stalled. She was avoiding guards. Now she was far away from the exclusive elevator when she heard Song Mian add, “Take the normal elevator, number A3.”

She was very close to the regular elevator at her current position. If she moved now, she would come face to face with Eric in about a minute.

But if she didn’t move forward, the guards behind would follow, and Eric would take the normal elevator. It must be Song Mian’s doing.

At this moment, the exclusive elevator was stopped. If Song Mian tweaked with the normal elevators as well, Eric would surely be suspicious.

She must change her route now. She thought carefully about the alarm systems on the twenty-second floor. She seemed to be in a stalemate.

It was either she confronted Eric or entered the infrared area to avoid the patrolling guards.

After gritting her teeth, Yun Xiangxiang headed towards the area where the infrared rays were beaming. It was unknown what place this was to have the infrared beams shining so densely.

Infrared rays were invisible to the human eye. Yun Xiangxiang could only see an aisle with the Infrared Ray Beamers installed on both sides.

It would trigger the alarm when the ray was blocked. If the receiver did not receive a signal on the opposite end, it would automatically raise the alarm, even if it was just a shadow.

So this area was tranquil. It was improbable that there would be interference and false alarms.

But it was a straight road. Only the innermost room had its floor slightly sunken. The guard would pass straight ahead.

In order not to touch the infrared alarm, they would not approach or even shine a flashlight on this side.

So she must go to the innermost position that she could be covered before the guard passes here.

“Wait a moment.” Song Mian’s voice came, and there was an intensive clacking of the keyboard.

Yun Xiangxiang knew he was dealing with the infrared ray alarm system. Although she could not see the infrared rays, red dots were flashing from the installer.

Yun Xiangxiang guessed that the red flicker should be the emitting of the infrared light. It was swift. She counted silently in her heart. It flickered every second, but both sides flickered at different times, which meant there was only half a second in between.

Suddenly the two red dots on the front end did not flash, and Yun Xiangxiang guessed that Song Mian had blocked it.

She walked forward boldly and stood there for a while. It was still as quiet as before. Song Mian’s deep voice rang in her ears with amusement, “You’re so bold.”

Yun Xiangxiang turned around, not knowing if he could see it, and pointed at him with a scissor sign.

Although there was no surveillance camera here, added on that Song Mian could not use the company’s equipment to monitor her. But, she had what Song Mian put on her body, which naturally made her clear.

Song Mian’s lips curled as he quickly dealt with the second pair. There were four pairs in total.

“Young Master, the guard will arrive at the intersection in twenty seconds.” Song Yao monitored all the guards’ every move.

Soon, Song Mian solved another pair, leaving the last pair.

“Ten seconds left.” Song Yao’s counting voice rang out again.

Although Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t hear Song Yao’s voice, she wore a watch that Song Mian gave her, and she calculated the speed.

And when she was playing hide-and-seek with the guards several times below, she would take a look at the time. There must be a marginal error in the pace of the guard.

But as long as there was no accidental obstruction, this error would be minimal. Not to mention that she had already carefully captured the subtle footsteps.

In the quiet corridor, the sound of the approaching footsteps made Yun Xiangxiang tense all over. She looked at the flickering red dots, remaining calm.

She believed in Song Mian.

“Go!” Song Mian’s deep voice sounded, Yun Xiangxiang saw the red dots still flashing, and she didn’t hesitate to rush over with the fastest speed.

Almost the same second, she crossed the infrared rays, and Song Mian silenced the infrared rays, and she swiftly stuck to the door. She covered herself with the raised part of the door frame.

In fact, the width here was only fifteen centimeters, which was not long enough for Yun Xiangxiang’s foot. Yun Xiangxiang could only press her feet horizontally against the door.

Right now, she stood still. The guard walked over and took a glance here.
