When the Possessive Omega Fell for Me - Chapter 42.1

The bathroom door closed, and the three-person team successfully escaped. The demolition expert retrieved the equipment that Yu Miao had hidden in the corner, while Yu Miao, standing by the door, paused for a moment.

Was it her imagination?

Just now! Why did it seem like she heard the little alpha’s footsteps?

“Hey! That guide sister, aren’t you coming to change clothes?” The demolition expert stood inside the bathroom, handing the bag to Yu Miao.

“Hmm… coming.” Yu Miao glanced towards the outside of the bathroom, frowning slightly, but ultimately did nothing and turned to switch positions with the demolition expert.

The latter stood guard at the bathroom door, while Yu Miao walked deeper into the room to change clothes.

Their next target was to find the control center of the mayor’s mansion security system and gain control of it.

The security system was one of the core achievements of cutting-edge technology applications at the current technological level. It wasn’t easy to infiltrate and control the security system undetected.

First, they had to find the location of the control center, then pass through two verifications. Those two verifications were to verify the identity of the entrant and confirm the applicant’s entry qualifications, using several access cards, supplemented by biometric information verification.

At this point, they would have only entered the control center. To access the AI that could operate the security system, they still needed to open the verification gate of the control center.

At that stage, they would need to use a ‘key’ that couldn’t be stolen and was constantly dynamically calculated based on the ‘host’s’ biometric information.

The ‘key’ was bound to a unique ‘host’ and would become invalid if disconnected. It could only be used again with the ‘host’s’ permission or if the ‘host’ reappeared.

The ‘host’ was the sole owner of this house – that is, the mayor.

This made it almost impossible to infiltrate the control center undetected. Not only would the security system notify the mansion’s owner once someone passed the control center’s verification, but the final step of operation couldn’t bypass the house’s owner.

The only way was to get the master key.

It was the unlimited key that came packaged with the security system when the tech company sold it, ignoring permission restrictions and able to pass all verifications indiscriminately.

Because most security systems, once sold, didn’t retain the original version even with the parent company, the only ones who could control the security system were the homeowner and maintenance personnel allowed by the homeowner. If an emergency occurred in the house and the homeowner was incapacitated or unable to reach the house, the situation would become troublesome.

At this point, an insurance measure was needed that could take over and control the system in a timely manner.

The master key was that insurance measure, and also the only way to infiltrate the control center quietly without alerting others at this stage.

The rustling sound of fabric rubbing against fabric echoed in the bathroom, ending soon after. The demolition expert waited by the door for quite a while without seeing Yu Miao come over, and couldn’t help but ask curiously: “Aren’t you done yet?”

Yu Miao behind her didn’t answer. She was applying lipstick to her lips, with the small makeup mirror reflecting her beautiful lip shape.

The master key was a small thing, not very big. How to store it was up to the buyer of the security system. Some people liked to carry it with them, while others preferred to keep it in a fixed location.

According to the intelligence from her previous life, the master key for the old mayor’s villa was on the top floor of the villa. Now she needed to go up there with the demolition expert who was skilled in network technology to get the master key, but that location was off-limits to ordinary servants, so they needed to find another identity.

Fortunately, before coming here, Q had already obtained information that among the media invited to the banquet was her former employer – Rizhong Media under the Rizhong Group.

And Yu Miao was the ace reporter who had left the Rizhong Group, thoroughly familiar with both the Rizhong Group and the job content of reporters.

As long as they disguised themselves as reporters and used the excuse of having a pre-arranged private interview, they could easily avoid the gaze of some servants and slip through.

As for the surveillance under the security system’s control once they had control of the control center, couldn’t they delete whichever segment they wanted?

No reporter would attend this kind of larger interview occasion without putting on work makeup, and she had just wandered around this villa, so she needed to do some disguising.

Yu Miao quickly applied a makeup look, adjusting her eye and lip makeup to make her overall facial features look completely different from before. Combined with changing into a suit skirt set that was completely different from the servant uniform, at first glance she looked almost like a completely different person.

“Let’s go,” Yu Miao, having finished her makeup, said as she walked over to the demolition expert.

“Oh, okay… huh??” The demolition expert turned to look at Yu Miao, her eyes widening in great surprise. She leaned in close to Yu Miao to observe carefully, “You… this…”

In just a few minutes, it was like a completely different person compared to before.

How did she manage to look beautifully different?

She was a bit dull and plain before, but now she suddenly seemed like a different person.

Yu Miao frowned slightly, raising her hand to push her away a bit. Considering that this person seemed to lack common sense, she explained:

“I used to be a reporter for Rizhong, but I’ve already left Rizhong. However, some effects from things that happened during my previous work are still there. Whether it’s people familiar with me or those who hate and dislike me, some of them might still recognize me, so I need to do some disguising.”

“Oh! oh, oh.” The demolition expert looked Yu Miao up and down, nodding, as if she hadn’t really listened to what Yu Miao said at all.

Yu Miao frowned, barely containing her impatience as she walked to the bathroom door and said, “Aren’t we going?”

“Mm hmm, okay,” the demolition expert nodded repeatedly, seeming to have forgotten how to speak and only able to respond. It wasn’t until she caught up with Yu Miao’s steps that she looked back at Yu Miao again and sighed, “You’re really good at disguising.”

Yu Miao paused, for a moment seeming to think of something as she frowned and pursed her lips a bit evasively. But within two seconds, Yu Miao had composed her expression again, gripping the bathroom door handle with one hand and displaying a calm and composed demeanor:

“Stop with the idle chatter. Remember your role. Right now, you’re a servant taking me to find the mayor’s daughter for a personal interview. Later, I may act out different scenarios for different people, remember to cooperate with me and don’t talk too much.”

“Oh, oh! I understand.”

The demolition expert’s expression became more serious as she tried to put on a very quiet and professional-looking smile, walking in front to open the door for Yu Miao.

There were more people on the first floor who had seen the two of them, and they could be recognized if they weren’t careful. The two didn’t linger near the bathroom, quickly passing through the hallway towards the deeper part of the villa. They soon found a staircase that could lead to the fourth floor, but before they could step on it, they were suddenly called out to by a voice.

“Excuse me, you two, where are you going?”

A man in a black suit wearing sunglasses, looking like a bodyguard, appeared behind the two. At least for now, the man’s demeanor was polite, and his words were still courteous, but Yu Miao saw that his hand resting in front of him was always on the weapon hidden under his jacket.

This bodyguard was prepared to act at any moment.

Yu Miao inconspicuously withdrew her gaze from the bodyguard and raised her hand to straighten the reporter badge on her chest – using the information of her previous competitor’s assistant.

Originally, when she was at Rizhong, she had a competitor who often compared news quality with her. Although she didn’t care about the other person, the other person seemed to see her as an enemy. Now that she had resigned, that person was probably Rizhong’s only ace, and would definitely be attending such an occasion.

Coincidentally, Yu Miao was very familiar with both that competitor and their team.

“There are no activity areas above the second floor. If you’re looking for the banquet hall, you can follow me,” the black-suited bodyguard said, glancing at the servant-dressed demolition expert beside Yu Miao, dutifully conducting a routine inquiry.

They were the bodyguard team personally hired by the mayor, not part of the same system as the hotel’s banquet planners, and didn’t know each other very well.

“Oh, is this the bodyguard sir?” Yu Miao turned her head to look, scanning the other person up and down with an indifferent expression, speaking rather arrogantly, “We are the media invited to interview this time, employed by the Rizhong Group. The group’s deputy editor-in-chief has already arranged a private interview with the mayor. I’m here to do the preliminary preparation. Is there any problem?”

The bodyguard frowned slightly.

Originally, his orders were to try not to let other people go to the second floor, and entry above the second floor was strictly prohibited.

But since this person had a work ID and was accompanied by someone from the mayor’s household, there shouldn’t be any problems, right?

“If that’s the case, then please allow me to verify the details. The area above the second floor is a restricted area, this is an unavoidable procedure, please understand.” The bodyguard said as he lightly pressed the communication mic hanging on his ear and asked, “Hello, is this the head butler? This is patrol group two. Can you confirm if there’s an interview arrangement for the Rizhong Group?”

The demolition expert’s posture stiffened, and she couldn’t help but look at Yu Miao in panic –

What should they do now? Are they about to be exposed? They didn’t have any pre-reported ‘interview’ schedule!!!

But Yu Miao didn’t say anything, just calmly looking at the bodyguard with a very composed expression, as if she really was an assistant reporter from the Rizhong Group.

The demolition expert was a bit anxious, her hand secretly reaching behind her back.

If things really went wrong, it would be better to take out this person first. If they caused a bit of commotion here, maybe their partner left in the kitchen could still escape. At least it would be better than being directly exposed and immediately surrounded.

“Is that so? I see, alright, I understand.”

The man dressed as a bodyguard looked towards the two with a stern expression, saying a few words in a low voice into his earpiece.

The demolition expert’s hand behind her back moved closer and closer.

However, just as the demolition expert was about to act, the bodyguard suddenly lowered his hand on his own, dropping his guarded posture, and turned to Yu Miao saying: “It’s been confirmed that there is indeed an interview appointment for the Rizhong Group. I apologize for the disturbance, please continue with your work.”

Demolition expert: “Huh?”

Yu Miao, on the other hand, didn’t seem surprised at all, completely immersed in her original role without any out-of-character behavior. She nodded indifferently, seemingly not caring about the other’s actions at all as she half-turned and took a few steps before looking back at the still somewhat dazed demolition expert: “Aren’t you going to lead the way? What are you waiting for?”

“Oh! Oh oh,” the demolition expert finally came to her senses, catching up to Yu Miao and quietly saying “sorry” to her, then walking in front of Yu Miao to lead her upstairs together.

The two ascended the stairs step by step, and it wasn’t until they passed the third floor that the demolition expert dared to look back.

Confirming that no one was following them anymore, the demolition expert finally breathed a sigh of relief, muttering with an expression of having survived a disaster: “You’re so brave, not nervous at all. Weren’t you afraid of being exposed? Did you really get Rizhong Group’s internal interview plan?”

“I told you, I used to be a reporter for the Rizhong Group, and this kind of work was given to me in the past, so of course I could guess what content there would be,” Yu Miao replied calmly, then asked, “Also, are you an idiot?”

“What?” The demolition expert was stunned.

“There are surveillance cameras everywhere in this villa, and the strength of the private security system is not something the Skynet can compare to. Do you think you and I could escape with just the two of us? What’s the use of looking for weapons.”

“Ah, so you noticed.” The demolition expert scratched the side of her face a bit embarrassedly. “I just did it instinctively… But didn’t you tell me we were going to interview the mayor’s daughter? Why did you say earlier that we were interviewing the mayor?”

Yu Miao held onto the stair railing, climbing up step by step while quietly observing the surrounding environment. She casually explained:

“I told you we were interviewing the daughter because the mayor’s two daughters live on the fourth floor. I was afraid we might encounter servants on the way, so I came up with this excuse. After all, that young lady receives countless fashion interviews and gossip magazine interviews every month, she wouldn’t remember herself if you asked her.

As for earlier, heh, it was just error tolerance. I only said that Rizhong’s deputy editor had arranged an interview with the mayor, I didn’t say who was being interviewed, or whether it was you and me going for the interview.”

“…”

The demolition expert was amazed for a moment, exclaiming in a very shocked and quiet voice, “You’re really an expert at blurring the key points.”

Yu Miao ignored her and walked directly to a room on the fourth floor.

Compared to the decorative styles of the other floors, the atmosphere here was obviously more cozy, and the area seemed a bit smaller. After entering this place, one couldn’t help but feel more relaxed.

The demolition expert hesitated to speak: “This is?”

How does it look a bit like a children’s room?

The demolition expert followed Yu Miao to a room, just about to open her mouth to ask what the current situation was, when she saw Yu Miao raise her index finger and lightly press it against her lips.

The meaning of silence was very clear, and the demolition expert quickly closed her mouth, looking left and right a bit nervously.

Originally there weren’t many people on the fourth floor, and now that Yu Miao and the demolition expert had quieted down, the entire space seemed a bit too quiet.

The demolition expert nervously counted her own heartbeats, watching as Yu Miao put away everything that could prove her identity as a reporter, even wiping off most of her lip makeup in front of the mirror, and letting her hair down.

“It’s a bit complicated to explain, and I can’t make it clear in a short time. In short, just cooperate with whatever I do. You don’t need to speak, don’t answer.” Yu Miao said.

“Oh! oh, oh.” The demolition expert responded with some confusion, then saw Yu Miao directly raise her hand to push open the door in front of them.

A room with a very childish style slowly appeared before the two, and a little girl about thirteen or fourteen years old, still hugging a large stuffed toy, raised her head and looked at the two standing in the doorway from the middle of the room.

For some reason, the girl’s eyes were a bit empty, her expression very faint. The cold gaze as it swept over made one’s skin tingle strangely.

The demolition expert’s expression unconsciously became strange, but Yu Miao seemed well-adapted, putting on another ‘identity’ for herself in the blink of an eye:

“Good evening, Second Young Miss. I am your father’s secretary’s assistant, here to retrieve something as per your father’s request. Please excuse yourself now.”

The little girl stared at Yu Miao for a moment, her empty eyes containing nothing, just staring straight at Yu Miao.

The demolition expert’s scalp tingled as she was stared at by the little girl. Just as she was feeling a bit creeped out, she saw Yu Miao half turn to look at her, gesturing to her saying: “Go on? What are you waiting for?”

The demolition expert was stunned, about to ask where to go, but just as she was about to speak, she remembered what Yu Miao had said earlier about not speaking. She swallowed back the surprise that had risen to her lips, quietly looked up to survey the layout of the room, and obediently took the little girl to another room, guarding outside and closing the door herself.

Seeing that the mayor’s second daughter was cooperating, Yu Miao felt somewhat relieved and sighed.

Luckily it went smoothly, otherwise she would have had to divert her attention to consider how to deal with a little girl who reportedly had ASD. She didn’t want that.

Having removed the irrelevant personnel, Yu Miao turned and walked to a small windowless room nearby that looked like a toy room, raising her hand to press on a hanging painting.

If she remembered correctly, this was the mechanism –

The hanging painting was pressed by Yu Miao, first sinking a little into the wall, then quickly ‘clicking’ and popping up along the left side of the frame, revealing the facility hidden within the wall.

It was something that looked like a small safe, with an enlarged chip-shaped groove on the front. Several metal-colored lines extended from the center of the chip-shaped groove, then disappeared into the surrounding white metal wall.
