Chapter 248: Reunion with Xiao Shen Jie
*This chapter is also known as Operation Green Light
"I'll give it a try." Xiao Yao said coldly.
"Let's go around again." A car appeared in the opposite lane, Liang Yanan had no choice but to give up, close the window, and reluctantly order Xu Wuchen.
However, as time goes by, the traffic on this side of the road is increasing, and the window for executing the plan has become narrower and narrower, and what's worse is that on the road this time, Xiao Yao can already see the garbage removal truck of sanitation, slowly on the road.
When Xu Wuchen drove onto the road directly opposite the garbage transfer station again, Xiao Yao pulled out the slingshot from Liang Yanan's iron hand.
Liang Yanan nodded and gave up the shooting position.
The vehicle slowed down again, Xiao Yao pulled out the slingshot, and was just about to launch the rubber projectile, when a vehicle came in the opposite lane again.
Xu Wuchen increased the speed of the car to avoid suspicion, the timing was urgent, Xiao Yao held his breath, pulled the slingshot again, and no longer waited for Xu Wuchen to slow down, and shot the projectile again at the limit distance of the slingshot's range.
The rubber projectile arced and hit the bulb, and there seemed to be a crisp sound not far away.
Their car was in the opposite direction, and Xiao Yao had already ducked back in the car and raised the window.
"I don't think it was broken." Xu Wuchen parked the car around the corner and turned around to ask.
"You don't need to break it, because if you do, it will cause trouble." Liang Yanan replied to Xu Wuchen while looking at his watch.
"This kind of bulb only needs to be slightly damaged, there is a crack or something, and it will burn as soon as the electricity is turned on." Xiao Yao also explained, picking up a walkie-talkie.
The hour hand pointed to 7:00, and the street lamps on the street, the lights on the wall of the community, and the decorative lights were all lit up, and the originally dim street was lit up. The light under the canopy outside the garbage disposal station also came on at the same time, but it flashed and went out after a few seconds.
The people in the car stopped making a sound, Xiao Yao picked up the walkie-talkie and listened carefully.
After a while, a somewhat lazy female voice sounded on the intercom: "The light outside the garbage station is burning, who will take a look later." β
Xiao Yao waited for 10 seconds, then pressed the walkie-talkie, trying to keep the tone as low as possible so that his voice sounded like an adult: "Got it, I'll go right away." β
Subsequently, Liang Yanan and Xiao Yao pulled the car door and got out of the car. She and Xiao Yao have already changed into gray-blue overalls with Sunshine Property written on them, and they are also wearing hats. The two took out a folding herringbone ladder from the car, stretched the herringbone ladder, carried it one after the other, and walked generously to the gate of the garbage transfer station from the other end of the street, along the wall of the community with bright lights.
"Doesn't it really arouse suspicion?" Xiao Yao asked Liang Yanan in a whisper with some unease.
"It's shift time, no one is happy to come out on a hot day to do this kind of trivial thing, as long as someone says to come, they won't care who the person who comes, maybe they will laugh at the stupid person who takes the job in private."
"Security properties are expensive here, aren't they? Is it so irresponsible? β
"Loyalty is not a virtue that money can buy. What's more, no matter how expensive the fees are, how many are left in the hands of these workers? The work is worthy of the salary given above, even if it is very good, and it is the same all over the world. But for a while, you have to be careful not to look at the camera, as if it didn't exist. β
They came to the door of the garbage transfer station and erected a herringbone ladder. Liang Yanan held on to the ladder, Xiao Yao climbed up, and in front of the surveillance camera three feet away, he pretended to start maintenance.
At this time, a yellow and green truck turned around the corner of the street, which was a garbage transfer truck for sanitation. The car came to the roller shutter of the garbage transfer station, turned around with ease, and the rear of the car was aimed at the gate, and the horn sounded twice.
Xiao Yao's repair work was also completed in a timely manner, and the replaced light bulb lit up. He came down from the ladder, Liang Yanan closed the ladder and took it away, and said hello to the driver of the garbage transfer truck like an old acquaintance.
At the same time, the closed roller shutters of the garbage transfer station rose to the sound of motors running.
Xiao Yao and Liang Yanan exchanged glances, and as soon as the two bent down, they carried the ladder and entered the garbage transfer station.
The garbage transfer station is well-lit and looks clean and tidy, but it is always a stuffy box with several days of garbage, no windows, no ventilation, and the smell is unsurprisingly suffocating.
As Liang Yanan predicted, there are neither docking staff nor monitoring here.
The sanitation workers, wearing thick masks, had no suspicion about the identities of Xiao Yao and Liang Yanan, and they reversed the truck and began to carry out their own work neatly, apparently, they did not want to stay here for long.
Even if Xiao Yao held his breath, it was still difficult to stop the stench from making his eyes water. He struggled to keep his eyes open, quietly searching for the door to exit from the other side of the dump.
Liang Yanan came to a door, which seemed to be for the property staff to enter and exit. She turned the doorknob and shook her head gently at Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao came to the large roller shutter on the other side, and tried to pull the iron chain hanging next to it, the iron gate rang a few times, and it was pulled up a little, about knee-high.
Liang Yanan saw that the sanitation staff didn't pay attention to this, and without hesitation, he pushed the long ladder out from under the iron gate, and then rolled sideways and went out.
She held the iron gate from the outside with both hands, and Xiao Yao quickly leaned over and got out from under the iron gate, and then Liang Yanan let go. After a loud bang, the two were already inside this fortress.
Xiao Yao took a few deep breaths and stroked his chest, trying to calm his beating heart.
"Don't panic, this can't stay long, you have to stay calm." Liang Yanan lifted the long ladder and handed the other end to Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao took the ladder, followed behind Liang Yanan, and continued to walk one after the other.
"What if someone talks to us?" Xiao Yao asked in a low voice.
"In this kind of place, as long as you are wearing work clothes and carrying a ladder, you are a transparent person, and no one will pay attention to you at all. Unless it's looking for you to work, let's just do it perfunctory. β
"What if there were patrolling security guards? We're fresh faces. Xiao Yao said.
"It's unlikely that there will be patrols at this time, if there is, don't take the initiative to see him, the rest, you have to improvise."
The two of them walked all the way, the street lights on the road were very well-lit, and at the same time, the surveillance everywhere was also scattered, but they really didn't meet many people.
On both sides of the road are detached or townhouses of various shapes, some with lights on, others with dark lights in the yards.
Xiao Yao tried to identify Shen Jie's description of her home from memory, but he soon gave up the effort.
In addition to the fact that these houses are all uniformly three-storey high, it is also because Xiao Yao's observations of these houses can only form a simple and unrecognizable conclusion: luxury.
If "Yu Luying's Dream Home" is still within the limits of Xiao Yao's imagination, these courtyards in front of him are completely beyond Xiao Yao's cognition, just like humans can't hear ultrasound, and will only feel uncomfortable due to its impact.
Liang Yanan looked like she was familiar with the road, Xiao Yao was very sure that it was by no means the first time she had entered here, but she didn't admit it, and Xiao Yao was helpless.
Finally, Liang Yanan stopped outside a courtyard: "This is it." β
Xiao Yao observed the courtyard and suddenly felt that Shen Jie was really a very confused personβabout her home, she said a lot of details that Xiao Yao couldn't really understand, but she missed the most obvious feature: her house and yard were at least three times the size of the other houses.
Xiao Yao didn't know that Shen Hongsheng once said in an interview that the community was being developed "just to find 248 neighbors."
The courtyard is quiet now, with only a few sparse lights in the yard, but most of the rooms in the house are lit.
Liang Yanan reminded Xiao Yao in a low voice: "You pay attention to that glass balcony." β
The second floor does have a balcony that is completely enclosed by glass, but there are no lights inside, and now nothing can be seen.
"Is she there?" Xiao Yao asked.
"Yes." Liang Yanan's answer cannot be questioned.
For now, we can only wait.
Xiao Yao hid in the shadow of the tree on the side of the road, staring at the glass balcony with a black hole, and the seconds were like years.
I don't know how long it took, but the entire Shen family suddenly seemed to have "woken up" and became lively. In the house and in the courtyard, more lights were lit, servants came in and out, busy cleaning and wiping, gardeners busy pruning flowers and trees, and the smell of cooking wafted in the wind.
However, it was still pitch black in that glass balcony, so these changes in the Shen family would only make Xiao Yao feel anxious.
Liang Yanan pulled Xiao Yao's sleeve: "There are surveillances all around, we can't stay here all the time, let's go and walk elsewhere and come back." β
Just when Xiao Yao was reluctant but helpless, the lights suddenly lit up on the glass balcony - not only inside the balcony, but also many decorative flowers and colorful lanterns outside the balcony were also lit up, the most conspicuous was a pair of red lanterns.
Of course, Xiao Yao never cared about the lights, those lights, but the little figures illuminated by the lights.
After the lights came on, a delicate figure quietly appeared behind the glass of the balcony, as if a miracle appeared.
Although it was far away, although it was backlight, although it was separated by a thick glass barrier, Xiao Yao still recognized the figure at a glance, it was Shen Jie, who had been "lost for a long time".
Xiao Yao excitedly wanted to wave his arms, but was stopped by Liang Yanan, and he didn't insist anymore.
The teenager understands that dancing at this moment will not solve anything, it will only increase the risk of exposure.
Xiao Yao thought for a moment, then turned to Liang Yanan and said, "I am grateful for your help, but I still need you to do me another favor now." β
"I refuse, that's a crime."
"Then I'll have to break in on my own, and the question you want me to answer will probably have to wait until I'm in prison for 40 years."
"You...... You little red guy, little scoundrel! I ......"
"I know, you didn't bother to help me so much just to make me speak," Xiao Yao showed sincerity: "Brother Bo once inadvertently mentioned to me that you were also grounded by your father like this......"
Liang Yanan: "Shut up, he talks a lot!" What exactly do you want? β
Xiao Yao: "If I were here and break the glass with a slingshot......"
Liang Yanan scoffed: "Don't dream! We're going to get caught right away. β
Xiao Yao thought for a while: "Then don't hit the glass, let's knock down the big red lantern......"
Liang Yanan: "There is surveillance all around here, and this is a self-throwing net." β
Xiao Yao: "Then can you help me with the surveillance?" Even for a minute. β
"I'll get you the surveillance, and cover you for hitting someone's glass with a slingshot, right?" Liang Yanan burst out loud.
"Is that what it can do? Help me, please. Xiao Yao clasped his hands together.
"What the hell are you trying to do?" Liang Yanan's tone softened: "I won't carry out tasks that I don't understand." β
ββ¦β¦ You see," Xiao Yao explained, "they suddenly got busy, obviously something happened. β
"It's nothing more than that the boss is coming back soon, pretending." Liang Yanan said disapprovingly.
"There is such a possibility," Xiao Yao pointed out, "but don't you think that this is even a red lantern hanging, more like receiving guests?" β
Liang Yanan: "Receiving guests? β
Xiao Yao: "That's right, it should be a distinguished guest." β
"So what?" Liang Yanan said disapprovingly.
"They can't let the host lose face in front of the guests, so as long as we break something they won't repair, they will definitely find someone to fix it, who to look for?" Xiao Yao flexed his fingers and tapped his temple.
"Looking for us?" Liang Yanan said: "However, even if you go in, they won't let you see Shen Jie." β
"I have a reliable internal response in it, I have seen her just now, and as long as I get close to her, I will definitely find a breakthrough."
"You've been playing this idea since the beginning, haven't you? What a master of lying. Liang Yanan bared his teeth.
"I hope we can be honest with each other in the future." Xiao Yao said seriously.
"This is the last time - I can help you with the surveillance, but then I will have to withdraw, and it is up to you whether you succeed or not." Liang Yanan told Xiao Yao.
"Thank you for your honesty, even if I am arrested and imprisoned, as long as you come to visit the prison and ask me anything, I will know everything." Xiao Yao said gratefully.
"You don't fucking come here, I'll treat you as if I don't know you if you're caught. I'm done messaging you. After Liang Yanan finished speaking, he handed the slingshot and a bag of projectiles to Xiao Yao, and left without looking back.
Xiao Yao opened the projectile bag and found that there were not only rubber projectiles inside, but also steel ball projectiles with two small sizes, plastic projectiles filled with paint, and felt that Liang Yanan was thoughtful and well prepared.
He weighed the weight of the metal projectile in his hand, and his eyes were still looking at the glass balcony where Shen Jie was. The graceful figure seemed to lie down, leaning its face against the glass, motionless.
Xiao Yao thought of the humiliation she had experienced, and he wanted to immediately step forward and smash the cage to let her regain her freedom.
The phone rang, it was a text message, just five words: You have three minutes.
Xiao Yao immediately started to act like lightning.
