The new address was Dongshan Villa.
Shen Qingqing, having obtained the address, readily unbound the bodyguards.
Lin Mo disagreed, "Perhaps we shouldn't do this. What if they run off to report us?"
Shen Qingqing tossed the ropes aside, "Ask them if they dare."
The bodyguards exchanged glances, a wry smile on their faces.
Unless they were tired of living, how could they dare to report them for revealing the address? They had experienced Fu Tingyi's ruthlessness.
Lin Mo conceded, but still felt uneasy. "You all stay here for now. If Fu Tingyi asks, say we never came."
The bodyguards nodded.
One of them hesitated and asked, "Aren't you going to find him?"
When they met, Fu Tingyi would understand who had revealed the new address without them having to say anything, as only they knew it.
"Still quite cautious," Shen Qingqing scoffed. "But still a step too late. If you were truly cautious, you should have hidden the address securely, telling no one but yourself."
Lin Mo gave her a thumbs-up. "You're the truly ruthless one."
Shen Qingqing snorted.
The three of them then got into the car and headed towards the address.
Dongshan Villa was located halfway up a mountain in the eastern suburbs.
It was a villa complex, where many people owned property. Because it was close to the mountains and water, the scenery was excellent, and the air was exceptionally fresh.
Shen Qingqing rested her chin in her hand. "I was considering buying a villa here myself back then."
That was when she had just returned to the country.
"Then why didn't you buy one?" Lin Mo, driving, couldn't stop talking, his curiosity piqued. "The villas here are actually quite nice."
He had also considered the area himself.
Shen Qingqing gazed at the fleeting scenery outside the window. "But now, I have no interest at all."
"Why?"
"Because Fu Tingyi also lives here." Even breathing the same air as him made her feel uncomfortable.
"That's not necessary, after all..." They lived in the same city, and even if they were far apart, they still breathed the same air...
Suddenly, Fu Jing Shu glanced at him in the rearview mirror, his gaze incredibly intimidating.
Lin Mo immediately fell silent.
The car soon stopped. They had arrived.
The villas here were very luxurious, exuding an aura of immense wealth just from their decoration. Shen Qingqing leaned against the car window, her gaze filled with sarcasm.
"So wealthy."
To be able to afford villas like these.
"Should we go in?" Lin Mo rolled down the car window and asked.
"No."
There were bodyguards patrolling outside the villas, and cameras were everywhere. The security system here was excellent. She hadn't expected such a system to be used to protect villains.
Lin Mo seemed a little anxious. "If we don't go in, how will we know if the old madam and the young master are inside?"
Shen Qingqing said calmly, "Who says we can't know if we don't go in?"
She looked at Fu Jing Shu.
The corner of his mouth lifted, and they exchanged a knowing smile.
Lin Mo watched, utterly bewildered, not understanding what they were smiling about. Did they already have a better plan?
Fu Jing Shu took out a laptop from his backpack and handed it to Shen Qingqing.
"Cooperate?"
"Alright." Shen Qingqing opened the laptop, and as she spoke, she had already opened the operating page, with lines of blue characters appearing on the screen. "A race. Let's see who's faster."
"What happens if you lose?"
Fu Jing Shu stared at the screen and also opened his operating page.
Shen Qingqing pouted. "What else can happen? If I lose, I lose."
This wager seemed rather unfair, as she stood to lose nothing. Fu Jing Shu chuckled softly. "No, there must be stakes."
Shen Qingqing seemed a little displeased. "You're not even letting me have my way!"
Fu Jing Shu's eyes twinkled with amusement. "It's not about not letting you have your way. If we're having a competition, there must be a prize to motivate people."
"Fine, you can name any prize you want."
Shen Qingqing offered a prize that was extremely enticing.
Fu Jing Shu nodded. "Good."
Lin Mo, watching from the front, gasped and became very excited. "Then I'll be the notary!"
Fu Jing Shu glanced at him. This guy was just here for the fun of it.
Lin Mo smiled obsequiously at him. "Mr. Fu, I'm just bored. Just let me be your notary. Don't worry, there will be absolutely no foul play!"
At his cue, their fingers moved almost simultaneously.
Lin Mo found it dazzling to watch. Both were very skilled, their speeds neck and neck. He had originally thought Mr. Fu would be the clear winner.
But now...
He wasn't so sure.
Time ticked by, and they stopped almost at the same moment. Lin Mo was incredibly curious but dared not peek over. His heart was churning like a cat scratching.
"Who won?"
Shen Qingqing and Fu Jing Shu exchanged a look and simultaneously turned the laptops towards them.
Each laptop displayed a different screen: one showed a corridor, the other a hall. In the video, two men in black guarded the entrance, while others stood in various corners of the house.
They were constantly vigilant; any approach would likely raise an alarm.
Lin Mo gasped. "So many people!"
Even if the three of them were highly skilled, it was uncertain who would win if they actually fought.
"Let's call the police!"
Shen Qingqing shook her head. "We can't call the police."
"Why?" Lin Mo didn't understand. "Missing persons can be reported to the police."
"How can you prove Fu Tingyi took them?" Shen Qingqing gazed at the computer screen. "Fu Tingyi isn't showing himself, but he's still the head of the Fu Group. If you claim he abducted them out of revenge without any evidence or basis, you'll only alert them."
"But now he'll also know you've returned."
"Knowing is one thing, but if we call the police, we'll have to cooperate with them, and then we'll be out in the open." Such covert surveillance would definitely be impossible. But the police... were too upright. There were many things they couldn't do conveniently.
For instance, the police would never allow them to hack in on their own.
Lin Mo slapped his forehead in annoyance. "I completely forgot about that. So what do we do now?"
Shen Qingqing said calmly, "That's why we have to investigate ourselves. We've already got a lead."
"What lead?" Lin Mo had no idea what clues the bodyguards filling the house provided. Did Mr. Fu have someone among them?
As he pondered these thoughts, Shen Qingqing and Fu Jing Shu exchanged another glance.
The sound of rapid typing filled the car again.
Lin Mo hesitated and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing now?"
Fu Jing Shu wouldn't answer, but Shen Qingqing replied, her fingers still moving. "We just briefly hacked into the surveillance footage to ascertain the number of bodyguards here. But the security system hasn't been disabled. If we try to enter, it will trigger an alarm immediately."
The security system here was different from the surveillance feed; it was on another level entirely.
It was very difficult to hack.
So now they were cooperating. Shen Qingqing was responsible for the intrusion, while Fu Jing Shu would hack into the opponent's main computer, find a suitable program entry point, and open an exit for the security system. Only then could Shen Qingqing successfully infiltrate.
Once the intrusion was successful, they would be able to monitor all movements within the villa.
