I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 703 - 703 The Room Has Surveillance
"Yes, he will definitely come looking for me, so right now I don't need to rush into doing all this. I just need to patiently wait here, and I believe he won't be able to hold out for long."
While they were speaking, they heard a knock on the door, and then he answered it, only to see Anying push the door and walk in.
"It looks quite nice, your office. And you know what? Right below is just a simple guard post, even open on all four sides with windows everywhere. You can often see a lot of people coming and going."
"By the way, how many camera points did you spot down there?"
"There are just three points: one at the main entrance, another at the back security exit, that is, the fire escape, and the last one is near the elevator. Just these three cameras."
"So normally, when you're not there, is there someone guarding the place?"
"How could there be someone guarding? That's precisely why I was specifically assigned to that spot. If I'm not there during work hours, the security guards are all stationed at the front lobby. It's only at night that there might be someone there."
"What does it matter if there is someone? From what I saw, those guards are mostly between 40 and 50 years old, so they generally wouldn't notice these things. Even if they are in the room, they are likely just there to sleep or slack off."
"Yes, which is why I was initially confused. But when I saw the drawback emerge, I realized why Adam had specifically assigned me to that spot—it's because he also hoped I would hold down the fort for him."
"There's no need, if you act like this, it would instead stir the snake in the grass. From now on, you don't need to be there; follow me here. By the way, didn't I see another office next-door when I came here?"
Ye Chen looked up and said to Guo Hongyu.
"Oh, there is one indeed, but that's not really considered an office. It has been unused for a long time, and it seems like it was just used to store some equipment and miscellaneous items. Why, do you want to use those offices?"
"Yes, I'd like to use it so Anying can be closer to me, and having her in the same office all the time is somewhat inconvenient."
"Alright, no problem. I'll arrange for someone to handle it immediately; it should take no more than half a day, and then, Miss Anying, you can officially move in."
"Alright, Mr. Guo, if there's nothing else, I'll take temporary charge here. I know very well what to do; you just wait there patiently for my news, and I will contact you when I need your collaboration."
"Okay, then you guys talk; I'll leave first."
After saying that, he just waved his hand and then got up and left.
After entering the office, Ye Chen looked up at Anying and then searched around the room.
"Could you help me check?"
"Sure, I understand."
With just a simple statement, Anying immediately understood what Ye Chen meant by 'help him check.'
Following that, Anying took out a miniature detector from her pocket and started sweeping through the area.
After a full round, it seemed there was nothing particularly of concern, but when approaching the window by the plant, suddenly, a faint alarm sound was heard.
Seeing all this, he slightly furrowed his brow and immediately went over to pick up the plant.
"Are you saying, it's in here?"
"Yes, it should be."
While talking, Anying reached in and after feeling around for a bit, she quickly pulled out a miniature camera.
"Goodness, the camera is indeed hidden here, and very well-concealed at that. It's impossible for someone to discover it easily without professional detection equipment."
"This thing, it's not for real-time monitoring, right? I mean, the things we just talked about, could they have been leaked?"
"It's a simple camera, not for real-time use. It has a memory card inside. Every once in a while, they take out the memory card to know what has happened. Don't worry, leave this matter to me—I'll erase all the content that was produced today."
"Are you starting to understand why this matter has become so serious and why there are cameras installed in this office? Therefore, I suspect there might be insider collusion—a non-insider wouldn't know enough to do this."
"Yes, if someone can monitor this place, the highest-ranking officer, then it must mean that there are other people above him backing this up. Who could it be that placed the camera?"
"Actually, I could probably guess. It must be someone at the presidential level; otherwise, others wouldn't have the authority. Moreover, probably only the cleaning staff can enter and exit this room—this alone is proof enough that the cleaning staff must have been bought off. That's why, right now, many eyes are probably watching us."
"This camera doesn't matter anymore. After coming here, the first thing we must do is remove it; only then can they truly understand what we are here to do, and also that they are not someone we can easily provoke."
"Tonight, we both cannot go back. First, I have to address the haunting here, so tonight, both of us will stay here. Today, I want this ghost to truly reveal itself, to see what's really going on."
"Actually, just now while I was talking with Adam, he mentioned this too—saying all these phenomena, if there's no proper explanation, it seems there could only be a supernatural explanation."
"Yes, do you really believe there are ghosts in this world?"
