Female Novel"Adrian installed a program on my phone and also added a little gadget," said Luke. He spoke openlybecause he knew there were no bugs here.
He picked up his phone, removed the protective cover, and pointed at a small protrusion in one cornerof the phone.
Luca looked at the tiny gadget which was smaller than a grain of rice. If she had seen it under normalcircumstances, she might have thought it was a speck of dust. She definitely would not have thought ofit as a high-tech gadget.
"What is this?" "This is a surveillance detection device. As long as you open the app in a certainlocation and select the inspection range, it can help check for any surveillance or monitoring deviceswithin that range," explained Luke. This little gadget was developed by Adrian.
It was proven to be very useful after numerous experiments.
Percy did not want such a useful tool to circulate on the market because once it did, there would bemethods to crack it.
If there was a way to crack it, the device would become useless.
Therefore, Percy bought it out at a high price and restricted its use among his close friends.
Luca looked at Luke in surprise as he opened the app and selected the range within it.novelbin
Their bedroom had no surveillance. That was why the device did not trigger any alerts when they chosea small range.
As Luke gradually expanded the range, it eventually covered downstairs. The device finally sounded analarm.
Luca knew that there were quite a few surveillance devices on the first floor of the old mansion, in thegarden, and in the living room. She could not help but exclaim, "This is kind of convenient."
Luke nodded, turned off the device, and said, "This device is currently the most advanced, so it's veryconvenient and beneficial for us to use. That's why Percy bought out the technology of this device."
"Bought out?" Luca was surprised. However, she also knew that once this technology hit the market, itmight not be long before someone developed a batch of surveillance monitoring devices using soundwaves that could evade this equipment.
By then, only ordinary people would be able to use this device. However, this device looked expensive,and ordinary people might not be able to afford it anyway. It was good that Percy bought it out at once.
At least they could temporarily avoid the quick appearance of surveillance devices that could evade thisdevice.
Luca knew that technology would continue to advance, and there would soon be more advancedsurveillance devices. However, this device was useful enough at the moment.
"Well, it wasn't just Percy who paid for it. He and Adrian signed the contract, and Jim and I alsocontributed." Luke put the protective cover back onto the phone after that.
He did not like using phone covers because he could always get a new one once the phone broke.
However, in order to protect this small device, he had to use a protective cover for his phone.
Luca nodded in understanding and let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there was no surveillance here. Otherwise, if Abel knew she had already confessed heridentity to Luke, Nyla’s life would be in danger.
Luca was scared, but she also felt fortunate that Luke had gone to great lengths to protect the two ofthem.
"Let's go to bed," suggested Luke. He lifted the blanket and lay down.
Luca lay down on the bed too.
She leaned close against Luke and asked in a soft voice, "Luke, are you sure everything will be okay?"
"Everything will be fine. I've arranged everything," reassured Luke as he held her close. "All we need todo now is to go to bed. Otherwise, we might not have a chance to rest later."
"Okay," replied Luca. She tried to calm her racing heart and close her eyes.
Even though her heart was racing, Luke always had a calming effect on her.
Perhaps she was tired or perhaps her anxiety was gradually being soothed, but Luca gradually closedher eyes. She soon drifted off to sleep.
As Luke listened to Luca's steady breathing, he knew she had fallen asleep. He then turned on a smallnight light.
He did not get up or attend to any work.
Tonight, the most important thing for him was to stay here with Luca without going anywhere. Leavingthe night light on was to keep unwelcome visitors away.
After all, with the light on, they would not dare to make any reckless moves.
Half an hour had passed.
The garden was silent.
The old mansion was situated near other attractions. Hence, there were no visitors around when nightfell. It was quiet in the old mansion.
Luke closed his eyes and went to bed with Luca. At the same time, something was happening in thegarden of the old mansion.
A few people crossed over the wall and managed to climb in smoothly.
"Boss, aren't there supposed to be infrared alarms here? I think I touched something just now, but thealarm didn't go off," said a man.
Gale frowned when he heard the man's words. He picked up a small stone from the ground and threwit outside.
He deliberately threw it low, almost scraping against the outer wall.
Indeed, the alarm did not go off.
"The infrared alarm has been turned off." Gale shot a glance at his careless subordinate. "I've trainedyou better than this. Why have you become so clumsy?"
"But it didn't go off..." The man awkwardly rubbed the back of his head, knowing that he had notperformed well.
He was never like this during training. It was just an accident today.
"If it did, how would we carry out the boss' mission?" Gale asked in a low voice.
The man chuckled and did not argue.
Gale frowned again. "The infrared alarm is usually on. Looks like something is definitely going tohappen tonight. The alarm is off, and the butler is dubious. Let's go. Take the items first. Then, we'llmake preparations."
"Got it." Several people headed toward the parking lot of the old mansion.
Luke already told them that the items were in the trunk of the car. They needed to take away the herbswithout giving the enemy any chance to notice.
Gale easily found Luke's car and used a spare key to open the trunk. He took out the bags of herbs.
Then, they retraced their steps, with two men carrying the herbs while the others began to lay in wait.
After Gale was done with everything, he sent a message to Luke.
Since Luke's phone was not on silent mode, the vibrations sounded abrupt in the bedroom.
Luke was a light sleeper. The moment his phone vibrated, he opened his eyes.
Luke picked up his phone and glanced at it. Gale had reported all the basic details.
They had successfully moved away the herbs and completed the setup in the yard. Gale also reportedthat the infrared alarm had been deactivated.
A steely gleam flashed across Luke's eyes. Indeed, Otto was one of them.
For the sake of surveilling him, they actually stationed a housekeeper at this old mansion.
This was X City, a place Luke seldom visited. Yet, Abel had gone to such lengths to arrange for a butlerhere.
Otto would keep a close watch on him at all times whenever he came...
Abel really was a crafty beast, setting up defenses everywhere.
