Chapter 316: Night (Part II)

Xiao Wu squirmed incessantly in his hand!

Sun Cheng understood immediately and tossed it to the side; it transformed mid-air, landing steadily on the ground as a ferocious-looking little metal figure.

"Yes, Master!"

After Xiao Wu responded, a pair of azure electronic eyes flickered with blue light; it was clearly contacting Revenge remotely.

A moment later, its chassis paused slightly, and it soon turned its head to look at Sun Cheng, a cold, icy mechanical voice sounding from its mouth.

"Master, 'there is only one intruder, and he is rummaging through your residence as if looking for something. He even opened the all-in-one computer I transformed into, but because I did not receive a response from you, I followed your previous instructions to remain powered on normally without revealing anything.'"

This voice was naturally not Xiao Wu's soft, cute mechanical voice, but the words spoken by Revenge.

Immediately, a beam of light shot out from Xiao Wu's eyes, and a video image appeared in front of Sun Cheng.

Needless to say, this was also transmitted over by Revenge.

Sun Cheng stared intently, his face slightly stunned.

The video transmitted by Revenge was not short, lasting nearly eleven minutes. The first person to appear in the video was a tall, thin man wearing a courier's uniform, looking to be in his thirties, holding a courier package in his hand, standing in front of his residence and knocking on the door with great vigor.

"Excuse me, is Chen Li here? Your package has arrived."

This person did not look conspicuous, and with that attire, he seemed like just a courier, but he clearly did not know that someone as alert as Sun Cheng had made some modifications to the anti-theft door of his residence after returning to the real world this time, replacing the peephole on the door with a set of micro-monitors.

Therefore, the man's loud shouting and disguise in front of the door were all in vain.

The monitor clearly captured the man looking around from time to time in front of the apartment door, his demeanor appearing very vigilant.

"A thief?"

Although he knew in his heart that someone as alert as Ada Wong could not be targeted by him so easily again, after seeing clearly that the person appearing in the video was a strange man, Sun Cheng still could not help but frown slightly.

The experiences in the Transformers universe where one could lose their life at any moment made him increasingly unable to tolerate situations that he could not control.

Clearly, that stunning beauty filled with mystery—Ada Wong—belonged to the kind of anomaly that could not be controlled by Sun Cheng, so even though the two had shared a night of passion, it did not reduce his wariness of that woman by even half.

In the image projected by Xiao Wu, after the man disguised as a courier called out and even knocked on the door of the apartment Sun Cheng originally rented several times, he soon made another move.

"The intelligence is correct; only two people live here, and both are out now!"

The military-grade micro-monitor created by a 3D printer clearly recorded the man's whispered mutterings, causing Sun Cheng to narrow his eyes. When he looked at the man in the video again, his eyes no longer showed any emotional fluctuations.

After confirming that there was indeed no one in the house, the man looked upstairs and downstairs vigilantly, then took out some tools that outsiders wouldn't recognize from his pocket, fiddled with the keyhole on the anti-theft door for a while, and soon Sun Cheng saw the video shake; the man had opened the anti-theft door and entered the apartment he had rented.

The video soon changed its shooting angle; this time, the angle captured came from a hidden monitor inside the apartment.

Although it was not very honorable, Sun Cheng had indeed done quite a few things in the apartment he rented after returning to the real world this time, such as embedding over a dozen sets of micro-monitoring equipment into the walls or installing them inside some appliances provided by the landlord.

Because his monitoring equipment was very small in size, and he had considered the issue of exposure long before installing them, the concealment was extremely strong.

Clearly, this man with decent counter-espionage capabilities was too careless; he probably never thought that someone would crazily install over a dozen sets of high-performance micro-monitoring equipment in a rented apartment, so much so that after he opened the anti-theft door and entered Sun Cheng's rented apartment, he only checked the room vigilantly before starting to work seriously.

"Rip."

The man opened a pocket on his courier uniform, first took out a pair of near-flesh-colored latex gloves and put them on, then took down the walkie-talkie hanging on his chest and held it in his hand, whispering: "I have entered the target's residence and am about to begin the search. You all keep watch; if the target returns, remember to remind me."

"Received, be careful not to miss any suspicious places!"

Clearly, this man was not alone.

After briefly contacting his companions, he looked around the living room and began searching everywhere.

Soon, having found nothing, he entered the kitchen and bathroom one after another; Sun Cheng even heard the sounds of the refrigerator, washing machine, microwave, and other appliances being opened.

After checking these places in just two or three minutes, the man soon arrived at the door of Sun Cheng's bedroom.

Pushing the door open and walking in quickly, the man's eyes lit up suddenly the moment he saw the all-in-one computer transformed by Revenge sitting on the computer desk in the corner.

He walked quickly to the computer desk, very skillfully found the power button to turn on the computer, and then stood in front of Revenge, rummaging through the all-in-one computer it had transformed into.

This man clearly possessed decent Computer Science skills; Sun Cheng could clearly see from his bedroom monitor that he took out a portable flash drive, installed several pieces of software into the all-in-one computer, and attempted to search for any hidden files that might exist.

After a long while with no results, his face began to turn gloomy, so he uninstalled the things he had installed and turned off the all-in-one computer, while simultaneously rummaging around the room again.

In the end, having found nothing, he took out his walkie-talkie in great disappointment: "Task failed. No suspicious items can be found in the target's residence. Suspect it may have already been moved. I request to enter the target's company for further searching!"

"Understood, prepare to withdraw!"

After watching the video transmitted by Revenge in its entirety, Sun Cheng's expression was somewhat ugly.

This man who disguised himself as a courier and snuck into his villa was clearly not a thief.

The quality he displayed was simply too professional; he tried his best not to leave any traces during the entire intrusion process, not only grasping Sun Cheng's whereabouts and related intelligence but also having companions outside keeping watch for him.

All of these things, without exception, revealed one point: they were definitely not ordinary people!
