“Alright.”

He Xiang stood up and left.

Only Lin Shanchu and Number 1357 were left in the living room.

Lin Shanchu said slowly, “Tell me in detail.”

“I’ve been able to sense Number 2580’s presence since yesterday. I wasn’t so sure, so I didn’t tell you.”

Number 1357 looked up at Lin Shanchu and continued, “When we opened the door and came in just now, Number 2580’s signal was very strong, so I’m sure that it and Lu Shiyuan are living opposite.”

Lin Shanchu asked, “So, what should we do next?”

“I successfully mastered the most advanced lockpicking skill yesterday,” Number 1357 said mysteriously as he took out his phone.

Lin Shanchu replied, “Is that so?”

Number 1357 smiled. His expression looked a little stiff and was not as natural as Lin Suguang’s. “Tonight is the time to witness a miracle.”

After a moment of silence, Lin Shanchu blinked and couldn’t help but ask, “Other than watching romance dramas, have you been watching anything strange lately?”

Number 1357 answered seriously, “I watched some short videos on TikTok.”

Lin Shanchu fell silent for a moment before she said, “If you have nothing to do, don’t watch those videos. Watch more sweet romance dramas.”

“Alright!” Number 1357 nodded vigorously.

“Sister Lin, here’s your glass of milk.”

When He Xiang came over with a glass of milk, the two of them stopped talking.

At night, He Xiang returned to her room to rest. Lin Shanchu sat in the living room and watched a sweet romance drama with Number 1357.

Number 1357 never stopped curling his lips, whereas Lin Shanchu frowned the entire time.

It was okay to watch one or two episodes, she felt bored but after watching too many episodes.

After a long time, Lin Shanchu sighed. “When will we set off?”

Number 1357 immediately suppressed his smile and answered her question seriously, “Number 2580’s signal is still very strong.”

“Alright then…”

It was already late at night. Lin Shanchu was a little sleepy and closed her eyes slightly. After a while, she fell asleep.

Just as she was in a daze, Number 1357 woke up her with a push.

“Shanshan, we can set off now. Let’s go.”

Lin Shanchu opened her eyes sleepily and asked, “Lu Shiyuan and the others aren’t home?”

“Uh-huh.”

“What time is it?”

“3:30 a.m.”

When Lin Shanchu noticed the time, she immediately became much more clear-headed.

“Why are they going out at this hour?”

“To do some shady business,” Number 1357 replied with a serious expression.

Lin Shanchu was speechless.

“People go out in the middle of the night to do some shady business, don’t they?”

“…Uh-huh.”

Lin Shanchu stood up and said, “Let’s go. Be quiet and don’t wake He Xiang up.”

The two of them disguised themselves and sneakily walked to the opposite house.

Lin Shanchu crossed her arms and stood sideways. She lifted her chin slightly, indicating for him to show off his most advanced lockpicking skill.

In front of her, Number 1357 took out all kinds of sophisticated tools and instruments that she had never seen before from his bag and unlocked the door in a few moves.

Lin Shanchu was dumbfounded as she asked, “When did you prepare all these?”

“If you want to go to get something at someone else’s house, of course you have to be fully prepared.”

As Number 1357 spoke, the door opened with a click.

Lin Shanchu was about to walk into the house, but Number 1357 stopped her. “Wait a minute.”

He then took out a device that Lin Shanchu did not recognize. After turning it on, he fiddled with the device at the door and said, “There’s a surveillance camera in his room! I’ll use human tools to interfere with it first… Shanshan, wait a moment!”

Lin Shanchu pushed the door open and walked in without waiting for him to finish his words.

She swaggered around as if she was at home. Then, she turned on the lights and began to rummage through the cabinets to find things.

Number 1357 looked at her figure and muttered to himself, “This is a little too arrogant…”

He suddenly remembered that his daughter’s initial persona was sweet and innocent.

How pitiful. The sweet and innocent daughter had been forced into this state.

“Hurry up and come over to look for it together!” Lin Shanchu saw him standing there for a long time without moving, so she turned around impatiently and called out to him.

“I’m coming.” Number 1357 immediately followed her.

The layout of the house was the same as Lin Shanchu’s.

The living room was empty and Lin Shanchu quickly finished flipping through it.

She walked straight to Lu Shiyuan’s bedroom.

There was only one bed in the bedroom, and the blanket on it rolled up in a messy ball. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lin Shanchu stood at the door with a frown. Then, she took a glance and called Number 1357 over. “You go in and look. I’ll go to the study.”

She opened the door to the next room and saw beer cans all over the floor. There was a desk by the window with a laptop and some documents scattered on it.

Lin Shanchu frowned, kicked away the beer cans and strode toward the desk. Then, she took Lu Shiyuan’s laptop and left.

Number 1357 came out from the opposite room.

Lin Shanchu asked, “Did you find anything useful?”

“No, I haven’t.”

“Let’s go then.”

Lin Shanchu stuffed the laptop into Number 1357’s hands.

“Take it away?” Number 1357 asked uncertainly as he looked at the laptop in his hand.

Lin Shanchu raised her eyebrows and replied, “What else? Do you want to stay here and take your time looking at its content, like in the movies and TV series? Then, you’ll be caught red-handed when Lu Shiyuan comes back.”

Number 1357 said worriedly, “But if we take the laptop away, Lu Shiyuan might find out.”

“So what if he finds out? It’s not a big deal. The worst he can do is call the police and arrest me.”

Lin Shanchu snorted. “I’m just borrowing his laptop. Even if I go to jail, Brother Xunzhou will find a way to get me out.”

Number 1357 looked at Lin Shanchu speechlessly.

Was this the legendary outlaw fanatic?

After the two of them took Lu Shiyuan’s laptop home, they went to the living room to turn on the computer to check the content inside.

However, the laptop was set with a power-on password.

“Wait for me,” Number 1357 said with a serious expression.

Then, he took out his phone.

He sat across from Lin Shanchu, holding his phone up high in front of him. Lin Shanchu saw him tap on his phone a few times, and then he swiped the screen from time to time.

“What are you doing?” Lin Shanchu curiously craned her neck to look at the screen, but Number 1357 avoided her.

Lin Shanchu’s face darkened as she said, “Give me your phone.”

Number 1357 obediently handed her the phone.

Lin Shanchu took the phone and saw the screen filled with words.

She swiped the phone screen to the top and saw the question:

[How to crack the laptop’s power-on password? (for dummies)]

Speechless, Lin Shanchu returned the phone to Number 1357 with a complicated expression. “Can you read it?”

“I even understand it.” Number 1357 took the phone and read the last paragraph. Then, he put the phone aside and picked up the laptop to crack the password.

Lin Shanchu held her chin and yawned as she stared at Number 1357.

After a short while, Number 1357 looked up at her and said, “It’s unlocked.”

Lin Shanchu immediately went over and said, “Check if there is any encrypted or hidden files.”

“There is.” Number 1357 was stunned after opening the file.

“What’s wrong?”

Lin Shanchu turned her head, but she was astounded after looking at it.

The encrypted file actually contained her photos.
