Chapter 204: Chapter 195: Unexpectedly MonitoredTo ease the tension from just now, Lin Mu picked up the alarm clock and looked at it. Only then did he understand the meaning behind sending the clock—it was a warning, telling him to be careful, that she intended to "send him off to the end"! Bloody hell, do you think I’m your biological father or something? Returning to the dining room, the three beauties had already finished eating, and Qi Manlin had settled the bill. Lin Mu could only chuckle awkwardly and say, "Hey, you three beauties, where are we off to next? I’ll accompany you today. With such a handsome guy by your side, don’t you feel especially proud?" "Alright, enough with the narcissism. If you keep it up, you’ll still be the same. I have a case to handle and need to head back to the office first. What about you guys?" Qi Manlin asked. "I have to go for my internship!" Xiong Xiaoxiao replied. "There are some things at the ad company I need to check on." "Then let me give you a ride!" Lin Mu suggested, trying to please them. "No need!" the three ladies replied in unison. Only then did Lin Mu realize that his earlier rude behavior had displeased them, so he waved helplessly, "Uh, alright then, I’ll just head home alone." After tidying up, Qi Manlin returned to the police station, Zhou Xun went to attend to ad company matters, and Xiong Xiaoxiao returned to her internship. Lin Mu, feeling bored, headed home to sleep. Upon returning home, Lin Mu took out his keys but discovered that the door was already open. He swore he had locked it when he left. Could a thief have broken in? Lin Mu cautiously pushed the door open and went inside but found nothing out of place! It didn’t look like a burglar had been there; the living room was neat, and the few valuable jade pieces were still there. If there had been a thief, they would’ve been stolen. Who could it be? That mysterious woman or Han Si Hai’s four Hunters? It didn’t seem like he had crossed anyone else! Suddenly, Lin Mu inadvertently noticed something button-sized attached to an inconspicuous spot. Drawing from years of special task experience, Lin Mu could tell it was a micro surveillance camera. Lin Mu sat on the sofa without moving. Xiong Xiaoxiao liked tinkering with this stuff, could it be her doing? But how did the door get opened? Lin Mu took out his phone and called Xiong Xiaoxiao, "Hey, Xiaoxiao, what are you up to?" "Working, why?" Xiong Xiaoxiao asked over the phone. "Just wanted to ask if you’ve recently installed a micro surveillance camera at home?" "Nope, since you found out last time, I already took them all down!" "Oh, alright, go ahead, I’m fine otherwise." "What’s up?" Xiong Xiaoxiao asked, puzzled. "Someone installed a micro surveillance camera at home, I thought it was you, but now I realize it might be targeted at me." "Do you need me to come back and sort it out? I do have quite the experience!" "No need, let’s talk when you get back tonight. I’m going to check if there are others elsewhere." Lin Mu hung up the phone, got up, and headed upstairs. Since they installed a camera in the living room, they must’ve put some in the rooms too. Lin Mu had to investigate! Lin Mu went upstairs to his room and didn’t expressly check around; instead, he used his peripheral vision to scan. However, he didn’t find any cameras in his room. Then Lin Mu left his room and checked Qi Manlin’s room. After scanning it with his eyes’ peripheral vision, he did indeed find two micro surveillance cameras. One was under the curtain, and the other was under the photo frame above the headboard. Both placements were very professional; if you weren’t specifically looking, they would be hard to notice. Not wanting to alert anyone, Lin Mu decided not to rush in taking down those two cameras. Lin Mu went into Zhou Xun’s room as well and similarly found two micro surveillance cameras installed at different angles. He ignored them and left the room. Finally, Lin Mu entered Xiong Xiaoxiao’s room. Using the same method, he found two micro surveillance cameras there as well. It seemed the target was the three girls; maybe they figured he was more vigilant so they didn’t bother with his room! But that wasn’t important. To Lin Mu, a landlord with a strong sense of responsibility, every beautiful tenant was sacred and untouchable. Anyone daring to offend his tenants was messing with him! After checking the rooms upstairs, Lin Mu went downstairs. For safety’s sake, he checked all the downstairs rooms as well. To his fury, those bastards even installed micro cameras in the bathroom! F*cking hell, these beasts sure have some nerve. Thank goodness he found out early. Otherwise, there’d soon be a scandalous photo leak online! Ruining people’s reputations! Lin Mu gritted his teeth; he had to teach them a lesson! In the evening, when Qi Manlin, Zhou Xun, and Xiong Xiaoxiao came back, Lin Mu briefly explained the situation! Upon hearing it, Qi Manlin, her temper flaring, said, "Unbelievable, they actually dared to install cameras in our rooms, invading our privacy—this is a serious crime. No way, I have to bring them to justice, how detestable!" "That’s right, we must bring them to justice, simply outrageous." Zhou Xun chimed in. "Yeah, really shameless, prying into our private lives, such perverts!" Xiong Xiaoxiao added. Lin Mu looked at the three girls helplessly, "It’s not that simple. They must have a purpose for installing the cameras. The most important thing now is to find out who these people are and then ask why!" "Alright, I’ll call in the investigation team to check it out. We need to see who’s got the guts. If I catch them, they’ll be sorry!" "No need for outsiders, we’ve got an expert right here!" Lin Mu chuckled, "Xiaoxiao, it’s time for you to shine!" "Me? How can I help?" Xiong Xiaoxiao pointed to herself. "Hehe, don’t you have equipment that can search for wireless signals? These wireless monitoring devices, I’ve learned, don’t have a long signal range; it should be within a kilometer around us, should be easy to locate!" "That’s easy. Wait a moment, I’ll go upstairs to get my tools!" Xiong Xiaoxiao said and quickly dashed upstairs, returning with a small case. She opened the case and pressed a few buttons on the machine inside, saying, "I’ve found the signal source. It’s a special 2.4G signal, also known as wireless WiFi, different from the traditional 3G signal!" Searᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Can you find out the exact position of the signal source?" "Yes!" Xiong Xiaoxiao opened her computer, accessed the DOS operating system, typed in some commands, and soon a map displayed on the screen. In one corner of the screen, a red dot flashed continuously, likely indicating the position where the signal was coming from. "Brother Lin, this is their location; it should be 500 meters northwest from here!" "Oh, there’s a parking lot over there!" Lin Mu pointed to the red dot on the screen. At that, Lin Mu slightly nodded, a sinister smile crossing his lips, Bloody hell, messing with the wrong person, you’ll regret this!
