Chapter 237 - 237: Zhao Yu’s Methods! (2)
“What about those three factories?”
“You don’t need to worry about that. 1 have a plan. The money only will gain, not lose!”
Upon hearing this, Liu Si Yu felt compelled to trust Zhao Yu.
She glanced at Huo Xiao Xi and said, “Zhao Yu, I’m hungry. Will you accompany me for a meal?”
“I’ve already eaten. Go by yourself, I have something to attend to…”
“What’s that?”
Liu Si Yu occasionally looking at Huo Xiao Xi, trying to figure things out.
Unfortunately, Huo Xiao Xi seemed indifferent and she couldn’t discern anything from her.
“It’s the business of the underworld, better you know less. Go have your meal.”
Zhao Yu pat Liu Si Yu’s head.
After Zhao Yu’s series of counter-questions, she felt unsettled. Not daring to push further, she obediently agreed and left.
Once she left, Zhao Yu turned to Huo Xiao Xi, “Is it done?”
“It’s done!” Huo Xiao Xi nodded and asked, “Where’s my brother?”
“Your brother is working with me now, but it can’t be disclosed publicly,” Zhao Yu whispered.
“What do you mean?”
“Tonight, come with me. You’ll be reassured once you meet your brother.”
He sent Huo Xiao Xi away and returned to his dorm alone.
The dormitory was empty as usual. Zhao Yu opened his computer and began his plan.
Xiao Liu reappeared on the screen.
Zhao Yu quickly asked, “Have you hacked in?”
Although Xiao Liu was an Al he created using the school server, it didn’t have any special permissions in the school system.
Having Huo Xiao Xi insert the USB stick into the main server was meant to hack it and gain full permissions.
“I’ve the control of all the school’s networked devices,” Xiao Liu reported.
Zhao Yu sighed in relief.
The three factories were just a front. His real asset was Xiao Liu.
With all school’s electronic devices under his control was just the first step. As conditions allowed, he’d expand Xiao Liu’s control over the entire city, maybe even the entire planet.
“Monitor Yu Chu Xue constantly,”
Zhao Yu thought for a moment, “Where is Yu Chu Xue’s dormitory?”
Xiao Liu displayed a 3D image of a standalone villa located behind the school’s mountain.
Many such villas were built for the children of the famous family’s children.
With dedicated security systems and patrols to ensure their safety.
“Hmm…”
“Does she live alone?”
Xiao Liu quickly analyzed recent footage.
Soon, Xiao Liu concluded “She lives by herself.”
Zhao Yu nodded, “Notify me the moment she returns. Also, plan a route that allows my entry undetected .”
After instructing Xiao Liu, Zhao Yu left the school.
The Huang family’s guards took over his security.
Zhao Yu, however, ignored them and went straight to a pharmacy, buying some inconspicuous items.
Just as he was about to visit a hardware store, his phone rang. Xiao Liu informed him that Yu Chu Xue had returned to her villa.
Zhao Yu immediately returned to the school.
“The route is ready…”
On his phone, Xiao Liu provided a path to seek into the villa.
Zhao Yu followed this route, continuously avoiding crowds and surveillance.
According to Xiao Liu, it could edit the footage to make Zhao Yu disappear from the cameras.
However, Zhao Yu recommended it to be highly caution about it as even perfect editing could be exposed.
Upon reaching the villa area where the cameras were dense, Zhao Yu finally let Xiao Liu intervene.
Now, he seemed to have vanished from the digital eye.
Appearing right under the surveillance camera, no one seemed to be present in that area from the perspective of the security personnel in the control room.
With the help of Xiao Liu, Zhao Yu successfully entered Yu Chu Xue’s villa.
“Sir, there are limited network-connected cameras inside the villa; I might not be of much help…”
Zhao Yu took a glance inside the villa. Only a few computer and mobile phone cameras could be utilized, so he simply had Xiao Liu monitor all of these devices.
“My skin feels so good…”
Just as he entered, he heard Yu Chu Xue’s voice came from upstairs.
Walking silently, he found her taking a bath.
After a moment of thought, he quietly retreated back to the main hall, locked the door, took out some drugs he had bought earlier outside the school, and began to mix them.
He had uploaded numerous techniques into his mind, including those related to biomedicine.
He took a towel and spread the substance on it.
Standing outside the bathroom, Zhao Yu looked at the silhouette illuminated by the light inside and slowly reached out.
“Click-!”
He turned off the bathroom light.
“Ah-!”
Yu Chu Xue was startled about the situation.
Without giving it much thought, she wrapped a towel around her and walked towards the door.
“What’s that smell?!”
As she approached the door, she detected a strange scent.
Yu Chu Xue sniffed a few times, confirmed the smell was coming from outside, and took a few more steps forward.
A towel suddenly covered her mouth.
“Mmmph-!”
Instinctively, she struggled.
She felt a pair of powerful arms around her waist.
There’s an intruder!
She tried to break free, but her strength was not enough.
Soon, an overwhelming drowsiness overcame her.
After just three seconds, Yu Chu Xue lost her consciousness.
Zhao Yu let go and laid her on the ground.
Zhao Yu began exploring the villa and soon found a room that has the best soundproofing system.
It was a modified mini-karaoke room, equipped with many speakers and microphones, probably for Yu Chu Xue’s personal singing sessions at home.
Nodding in approval of the room’s soundproofing, Zhao Yu went upstairs.
He picked up the unconscious Yu Chu Xue, and headed downstairs.
Inside the karaoke room, he placed Yu Chu Xue on a chair and tied her up with ropes.
Zhao Yu brought in a camera, positioning it to focus on Yu Chu Xue.
He dimmed the room’s lights and left one as highlighting only Yu Chu Xue, and gagged her mouth with a towel.
After these preparations, he waited her to wake up.
“Mmm-!”
As expected, after a while, Yu Chu Xue regained her consciousness and quickly realized her predicament.
“Mmmph-!”
She struggled in the chair, but her limbs were immobilized.
Tears streamed down her face as she understood that an intruder was in her villa and she was captured.
Behind the intense light, the silhouette of an unmistakably male figure stood.
She kept shaking her head, mumbling incomprehensibly, trying to convey something.
At that moment, the shadowy man moved, not toward her and left the room.
Through the door gap, Yu Chu Xue realized she was still in her villa, in the soundproofed karaoke room.
Before she could think further and screamed for help, the man returned with a full-length mirror.
Under Yu Chu Xue’s bewildered gaze, the mirror was placed in front of her.
The purpose was to reflect her distressed appearance back to her for view.
At that moment, she finally saw the man’s face.
It was Zhao Yu!
For a moment, despair overwhelmed Yu Chu Xue..
