Capítulo 1623: Chapter 1602: Never-Ending The footsteps never stopped, heading straight upstairs, so even though the second floor was turned upside down, no one would notice, and Gao Yang and the others could continue to hide in peace. The sound gradually disappeared, and Gao Yang let out a light breath, whispering extremely quietly, “I don’t know what they want, but I guess they are definitely not thieves.” Taylor whispered, “Should we go?” Gao Yang thought for a moment and whispered, “Let’s wait a little while. Leaving means opening the door, which will be quite loud. Let’s wait a bit longer. Besides, we aren’t really worried about anything, and their time here won’t be long, plus…” Gao Yang took out a small device from the bag, looking like a miniature walkie-talkie, and with a half-smile, said, “We can also listen to what they are saying.” Taylor chuckled softly and whispered, “A portable signal receiver for a bug, you’ve already installed it…” Gao Yang twisted the knob switch on the receiver, smiling, “Though I thought it might be useless, I brought the receiver along anyway.” Gao Yang kept the volume very low, but he could still hear the conversation upstairs clearly. A woman’s voice whispered, “Just this safe, the combination for the mechanical lock is 140526, and the electronic lock’s code is 571717522416. I’ve written it down, but we don’t have the key.” The sinister man’s voice said, “The key is easy to solve. Are you sure about the combination?” “Yes, I’ve placed a pinhole camera here, clearly recording the process of entering the combination twice, ensuring there’s no mistake.” Gao Yang stuck out his tongue, while Antonio looked annoyed. Only Karima looked anxious and said, “Remember the password. I didn’t completely memorize it. I wasn’t prepared mentally.” Antonio, looking frustrated, said, “I’ve memorized it. When it comes to numbers, I never forget. Damn, I don’t even need to open the safe anymore. Knowing the password, why open it, F**k!” Gao Yang whispered with a wry smile, “This is interesting, truly interesting.” Taylor also smiled and said, “They had everything prepared in advance, yet it made things convenient for us.” There was no more sound coming from the bug, but after a while, there was a sort of hissing airflow sound. Gao Yang whispered, “What are they doing?” “Making a key, using soft material to gradually get into the lock cylinder to figure out the key shape, then using quick-hardening material to make a key. Now they’re blowing on it to harden the key quicker, should take a master no more than ten minutes.” Sure enough, about ten minutes later, the woman’s voice excitedly said, “Opened?” “Yes, help me find that item. Be sure to keep everything here in its original state, leaving no trace behind. Let’s start.” Antonio, looking disgruntled, said, “They opened it, damn it. Using a pinhole camera to capture the code, such a low-level, shameless trick!” After a while, the woman’s voice had a hint of panic, “It’s all company documents, not what we’re looking for!” The sinister man’s voice was also slightly anxious, “Didn’t you say it was definitely here? Look carefully, it might be hidden among the company documents. We must find it, quickly.” After at least twenty more minutes, the sinister man sighed lightly and whispered, “It’s not here.” “But there are only five safes here. This one was the most likely. The remaining four all store valuables. If it’s not here, it’s even less likely to be in the other four. What do we do?” “What are in the other four?” “Watches, jewelry, one’s used for storing an antique gun, another for swords, all are collectibles.” Taylor made a six with his hand, indicating that the people upstairs had no idea there was a sixth safe. Gao Yang nodded, whispering, “Trouble, they’ll definitely come here to open the safe.” Right then, the sinister-voiced man said, “I’m going to check the watch cabinet; there might even be a greater chance. You stay here and restore everything to its original state, exactly as records show, with no margin for error.” Content originally comes from ⓝovelFire.net Gao Yang exhaled and whispered, “They’re speaking Russian.” “Probably, having arranged operatives here in advance, and for quite a while. Such things could only be done by an intelligence agency, so they should be KGB.” “We don’t need to frame them, right?” Gao Yang said helplessly, “No need to frame them, and we can’t leave either, can we? They’ll just come down and knock us out directly first, knock us out and figure it out later. We’ve already been exposed no matter what.” Taylor quietly closed the door, stood behind it holding up his Taser gun, ready to knock out the man who came down first, ignoring the woman upstairs. Knocking out whoever came down and rushing out might still be in time, since they’ve already been exposed either way: just burst through the door and run. Taylor was prepared, but the woman upstairs said, “Wait for me; we must go together.” Gao Yang chuckled. It was great they were all coming down together, less hassle to handle them all at once. Taylor suddenly gestured to wait, pulled out a black stocking from his pocket throwing it to Gao Yang, then put one on his own head. Gao Yang looked at the stocking, glanced at Karima, who shrugged, took off her shoes, and pulled her own stockings off her legs. Gao Yang smiled, put the stocking on his face, holstered his handgun, and took out the Taser gun. As he calmly finished preparing, the footsteps outside the door grew nearer, and then the door was suddenly pushed open. Taylor fired with a crack, and the person opening the door convulsed and fell. Gao Yang fired two more shots right behind him, and the remaining two outside the door also convulsed and fell at the entrance. Though convulsing all over, one man did not lose consciousness, and as the electric current ceased, Gao Yang moved in and kicked him in the head. The man, appearing in his forties, finally passed out. Gao Yang checked the eyelids of all three, confirmed they were unconscious, nodded, and whispered, “Okay, confirmed they’re out.” At this moment, Antonio removed his hands from his face and loudly said, “They didn’t see my face, did they?” Gao Yang smiled, “They didn’t, definitely didn’t.” Karima lowered the stocking she hadn’t managed to wear and instead had placed in front of her face, saying, “Then I don’t need to put it on, right?” Gao Yang said, “You’d better wear it, even when we’re leaving, so no one sees us. Let’s go then.” Taylor pointed at the people on the floor, “Leave them?” Gao Yang shook his head, “Leave them. They’ll wake up soon enough. Whatever happens to them afterward isn’t our concern.” Just then, Number Thirteen chimed in on the walkie-talkie, “Sorry, you can’t leave for now, as more people are coming.” Gao Yang waved helplessly, “What? A gathering? Forget it, let’s wait it out.” (To be continued. If you work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.
