Chapter 337 On the computer screen, strings of data zipped by. The tech guy’s fingers were flying over the keyboard with lightning speed. Next to him, a sleek, black case housed a device that automatically assembled into a compact frame. A button on the frblinked a menacing red, much like those infrared scanners you'd see in a spy flick.
It screamed high-tech.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShawn, who had been staring for a while, was utterly baffled. He remembered the last the had a security system installed, and it was nothing like this elaborate setup.
Just a simple computer system and a few cameras - bing, bang, boom, done. What was with all this fancy computer work? Shawn rubbed his nose, and his confusion deepened. He left the room and headed to the living room where his wife was. “Hey, honey, | don’t recall the security setup being this complex last time, do you?” Delilah, who had glanced at the setup only briefly and knew jack about computers, suggested. “Maybe the guy Mira hired is ssort of specialist for the system?” “Could be,” Shawn muttered, not quite convinced.
An hour later, the installers had the whole villa’s security and surveillance system upgraded and polished off.
After giving a quick tutorial on how to use it, they were out the door.
Shawn, with his phone in his hand, was now staring at anicon that sparkled like a diamond. Tapping it open, he was greeted with live feeds of their entire house. Thewas chock-full of neat features - a panic button, automatic power shut-off, night vision activation, you nit.
The real kicker was the instant alert on his phone if someone tripped any of the sensors at home. No more sleepless nights worrying about break-ins. This setup was light-years ahead of their old system, which, at the time, was touted as top-of-the-line.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShawn looked up, still a bit dazed, and turned to Delilah. “Where on earth did our daughter find these tech wizards?” Delilah, who had the on her phone, was still figuring it out. “Didn’t she mention sonline buddy last night?” “Even if it's a buddy from online, how cservice is free?” Shawn stroked his chin, puzzled. When they left, he'd asked how much they owed, but they just said there was no charge.
“Maybe Mira paid them online already?” Delilah suggested, without looking up from her phone.
That seemed to be the only logical explanation, though Shawn still felt something was off. Scratching his head, he blurted out, “You know, have you ever noticed that Mira’s friends are all... kinda extraordinary?” Delilah finally looked up. “Huh?” 1/2 11:31 Chapter 337 Shawn laid it out for her, “Okay, first, the meds she got for us, she said they were a gift from a friend - Leo checked with experts, and they're practically priceless.” Second, her tutor gave her two boxes of coffee beans that you can’t find just anywhere. One of them’s a collector's item, literally impossible to put a price on.
“Third, today’s tech guys. They might look ordinary, but if you really think about it, they're anything but.” Delilah gave her husband a sideways glance. “Stop analyzing our daughter and think about yourself for once.
Besides, did you even wonder why Mira felt the need to upgrade the security system?” Shawn clammed up instantly. After a cough to clear his throat, he mumbled, “I better figure out how thisworks.” Delilah just rolled her eyes.
