Chapter 132: Splitting into Five Routes to Gather Intelligence

This newly rich, as soon as he entered the venue, walked with steps that ignored all relatives, and began to stroll around the venue.

For each display cabinet, he would squeeze up to take a look.

That was a genuine look.

He would take a quick glance and leave, never lingering.

In his view, these exhibits were all like trash.

However, the newly rich's behavior didn't make people feel anything wrong.

After all, from his attire one could tell he was a newly rich.

What does a newly rich know?

Can one appreciate these high-end exhibits?

If he really lingered long at each display cabinet to examine carefully, that would arouse suspicion.

After all, no one would think such a vulgar rich person could calm down to appreciate these exhibits carefully.

Such a person could at most appreciate things like gold and diamonds.

He walked around the exhibition hall.

The newly rich finally stopped in front of one of the display cabinets.

The exhibit in this display cabinet was a gemstone, a blue sapphire.

This was also the only gemstone exhibit in the entire exhibition.

"Holy shit... this is good, this is good!", the newly rich said, staring at the blue sapphire.

Everyone around showed a look of contempt.

They thought, "A newly rich is a newly rich."

They knew he would stare at things that were only superficial, lacking substance and cultural value.

Things with real cultural value, he completely ignored, not even glancing at them.

The next second.

All that could be seen was the newly rich pointing at the blue sapphire in the display cabinet and shouting loudly.

"Anyone? How do you buy this thing?"

Upon hearing this, the contempt on everyone's faces grew stronger.

Damn it, still asking how to buy it?

Do you think this is a convenience store?

Shouting so loudly, really lacking manners!

After the newly rich bellowed.

Within a few seconds, three security guards surrounded him.

"Sir, this is an exhibition; please don't shout."

"I know, I know.", the newly rich laughed: "I just love this blue sapphire too much; I want to buy it. How much does this thing cost?"

Immediately after, he added a sentence.

"Give me a number; we're not short of money. I genuinely want to buy it, really."

The security guard was already getting impatient.

"Sorry, sir, this is an exhibition, not an auction; the items here are only for display, not for sale."

"Tsk.", the newly rich clicked his tongue: "How can it not be for sale? I said I'm not short of money... like this, give me your boss's contact info, I'll talk to him."

"Sir, if you keep shouting and affecting the venue's order, I'll have to ask you to leave."

Seeing the security guard say that, the newly rich gave a cold laugh.

"What? Want to kick me out? You damn well know who I am? I can shout all I want; try laying a hand on me!"

However, the next second.

The security guard pulled out the walkie-talkie from his waist.

After saying a few words into the walkie-talkie.

About ten security guards rushed over.

The leading security guard looked again at the newly rich.

"Sir, will you leave on your own, or shall we escort you out?"

While speaking.

His hand was already on the baton at his waist.

The newly rich's face changed slightly.

He sized up the dozen or so security guards before him.

Seeing they were outnumbered, he still chose to yield: "You have more people, fine, I'm leaving."

Of course, before leaving, he still let out an extremely arrogant threat.

"You stinking security guard, wait for me, don't let me catch you."

Having said that, he left the exhibition venue cursing.

The newly rich's vehicle was a white Big G.

After leaving the venue, he didn't rush to leave, but sat in the car.

The newly rich is actually Xu Mo.

The newly rich's identity is his disguise.

In the following few minutes.

Four beauties then came out of the venue one after another.

All four of them, without exception, boarded the Big G one after another.

The four were Yang Jingxuan, Zhou Qiaoqiao, An Youyi, and Li Jiaxin.

Of course, after Disguise.

They split into five groups to gather information on the Exhibition Event.

"I'll go first," Xu Mo said first, and reported what he had observed.

"The security at this Exhibition Event is strong; there are six guards at the entrance, more inside, with at least twenty‑something guards evenly spread in the central part of the venue, and many elsewhere. Altogether, the venue has on the order of dozens of guards."

"Batons, walkie‑talkies, stun sticks are all strapped to the waist, and the Blue Sapphire is located right at the center of the Exhibition Event, which is both the most conspicuous spot and the one with the most guards."

"I just tested it: if any incident occurs inside the venue, the first wave of guards arrives within five seconds, and if the situation is serious they use the walkie‑talkies to summon more, pulling in a dozen or so at a time."

After speaking, Xu Mo first looked at Zhou Qiaoqiao: "What about you, what's the situation?"

"I counted: there are 274 monitoring devices throughout the venue, covering every angle with no blind spots. I haven't located the Monitoring Room; it should be hidden deep inside. Based on clues from the Program Crew, these monitors aren't networked, which makes things a bit tricky," Zhou Qiaoqiao said.

After Zhou Qiaoqiao finished, Xu Mo shifted his gaze to Yang Jingxuan.

When their eyes met, Yang Jingxuan shook her head.

"The security check is especially strict; nothing can be brought in. They even confiscated my eyebrow trimmer. Bringing in regulated knives to hijack hostages and forcefully seize, or smashing open the Display Cabinets, are all impossible. As for stealing… given how tight the security check is, even if I managed to steal something, getting it out through the main gate would still be an issue."

Immediately after, Xu Mo stared at An Youyi: "And you?"

An Youyi pulled a sheet of paper from her bag.

"This is a map of the Exhibition Hall interior; I've marked every accessible location. I've looked over it many times, so it shouldn't be wrong."

The last to speak was Li Jiaxin; without waiting for Xu Mo to ask, she began speaking on her own.

"All the Display Cabinets housing the exhibits are double‑layer bullet‑proof glass with Electronic Locks; their security is very high. Apart from the main entrance, the Exhibition Event has no other exits. Every door is guarded by guards, and any unguarded doors are locked. I also roughly surveyed the guards; unsurprisingly, they're all cultivators."

They have almost completely figured out the situation of the Exhibition Event.

【100】 Based on the information gathered so far.

As for the circumstances we have gathered so far.

Stealthily taking the Blue Sapphire from inside without anyone noticing is very difficult.

After all, those non‑networked monitors aren't harmless; we can't hack them, and the crucial Monitoring Room location is still unknown.

As for a forced robbery, that's even harder.

The security check is too strict; regulated knives can't be brought in, so hijacking hostages to seize the gem is essentially a pipe dream.

Smashing open the Display Cabinets to get the gem is also infeasible; first, regulated knives can't be brought in, and second, the cabinets are all double‑layer bullet‑proof glass, impossible to break.

To bring regulated knives inside, they'd have to fight their way from the main gate through the Exhibition Hall, taking down the dozens of guards inside.

However…

Is that possible?

Those guards are all cultivators.

With only a few of them, they definitely can't win in a fight.

This Exhibition Event does have a sense of being watertight.

"It's a bit tricky," Xu Mo said, glancing out the window. "Let's go back and think it over properly."

That's all, haha. Good night, darlings!
