NovelEnglishChapter 1283: A Favor
“Huh?” Zhuo Yun saw Yang Yi typing a code on the computer and he automatically looked up at the surveillance monitor.
Everything seemed completely normal at all the main entrances.
Strangely, something was amiss about the surveillance.
Zhuo Yun pressed his mike and told people to keep an eye on the auction store room. After looking at the surveillance monitor for two minutes, he turned to look at Yang Yi. “Shall I get Miss Huo to come over?”
Yang Yi was busy working. The moment he heard what Zhuo Yun said, he nearly made a typo.
Even though the question sounded random, it was very insulting.
Zhuo Yun had already retrieved his phone. He did not call Huo Yao directly. Instead, he asked his boss about it.

Zhuo Yun acknowledged the man and quickly hung up the phone.
Zhuo Yun glanced at Yang Yi. “Miss Huo needs some time. When can you kill the signal jammer?”
“Roughly two minutes,” answered Yang Yi without even raising his head. He paused for a few seconds and added. “The same technique was used, so I’m sure he’s our guy.”
Zhuo Yun nodded. This person had challenged the Min family repeatedly, so he really wanted to kill him the moment they caught him.
“I’m going upstairs to check.” Zhuo Yun felt worried, so he turned to leave the surveillance control room.
......
The intruder could do a lot of damage in two minutes.
Before long, he got upstairs. The entire floor was particularly quiet and no sound could be heard.
Zhuo Yun raised his head and glanced around the place with a serious look on his face. He proceeded to walk up to the auction storeroom entrance.
It did not have a digital lock. Instead, it was an old-fashioned mechanical lock embedded in the door. In order to open the lock, the mechanism had to be activated using very specific moves. Otherwise, it would get locked permanently.
It was extremely difficult to open.
If the intruder was a computer expert, using a digital lock was like giving him a free pass of the room. However, not everyone knew how to open a traditional mechanical lock.
Zhuo Yun also had to study the mechanical lock countless times before he figured out how to open it. He checked the lock on the door and touched it to confirm that no one had tampered with it and pulled his hands back.
He changed his mind about checking inside the auction storeroom.
Zhuo Yun pressed the mike and told Yang Yi about the situation at his end. Since they did not want the intruder to know of their presence, he quickly left.

Before long, Huo Yao got back to the private room.
Min Yu was talking on the phone. The moment she walked in, he hung up and said, “Back already?”
Huo Yao nodded, looking completely normal. She walked up in front of the window and looked downstairs at the event. They were still auctioning antiques and the prices had reached hundreds of millions.
When Huo Yao heard these numbers, she could not help lamenting her financial situation.
Min Yu glanced at her and said, “Since you don’t seem interested in antiques, do you mind giving Yang Yi a hand?”
Huo Yao turned and promptly replied. “Sure.”
Before long, they went over to the auction surveillance control room.
Zhuo Yun had just gotten back to the room. When he saw them walking over, he quickly greeted them.
Huo Yao acknowledged him softly and turned to look at the surveillance monitor in front of her.
