Chapter 95: A Hair's Breadth Escape

  Wishing all brothers and sisters a happy National Day! Enjoy good food, drinks and fun during the holiday! 0^-^0

  It's really layered, and yet they forgot such an important part.

  Now that it's come to the crucial point, we can't just withdraw again, which means a new round of planning is needed. And after leaving, I don't know if Qian Baiwan will discover the subtle changes in the office rest room. If he finds out, the first time was unsuccessful, and if we want to sneak in again next time, it'll be difficult.

  However, there was no way out. After a brief daze, Lorraine could only sigh helplessly and frown, saying in a low voice, "Miscalculation, let's go back and think of another way." The safe was different from the door, requiring extremely professional lock-picking skills to open it. Moreover, Qian Baiwan's safe was not a rotating dial type, so even if you put your ear against it, you couldn't hear the sound of the card slot pins moving inside.

  Just as Lorraine was about to give up on this action, Jiang Yan, who had been silent all along, suddenly lit up in front of her eyes and said in a low voice: "Go to the door and listen to the movement outside, give me some time, maybe I can open this safe."

  "Huh? What's going on?" Lorin blinked.

  "Stop wasting time, I said it's here! Go, I need some time, and during this period, no one can come back!" Jiang Yan waved her hand and stopped paying attention to Luolin. She leaned forward and was delighted to find that the walls of the office lounge were not pasted with wallpaper, but were painted with white lime paint. She stretched out her slender hand, and her long fingernails on her little finger stuck to the wall, then started scraping downwards. Her other hand took out a dry paper towel from her pocket and caught the slowly falling dry white powder.

  Lorraine listened carefully to the movement outside, and for the time being, no one approached this side. Her eyes flickered to Jiang Yan's current actions, and she couldn't help but furrow her brow in confusion, unable to understand what she was doing. It seemed like she was doing it very professionally, though. Tsk, anyway, this trip was already a waste of time, so let's just see what kind of trick Jiang Yan can come up with!

  After about three or four minutes, Jiang Yan's dry paper towel finally piled up a small pile of white powder. Then, with a pair of slender hands, she carefully held the paper towel in her palm and brought it to her mouth, facing the numerical keypad on the safe. With a gentle blow, the fine white powder floated up and stuck to the numerical keypad on the safe.

  Luo Lin saw Jiang Yan's action and frowned even more tightly. What was she doing? Was she blowing fairy air??????

  Before Lorraindo thought, Jiang Yan blew the numerical keypad of the safe again, and soon, a wonderful change occurred on the numerical keypad: 10 Arabic numerals, among which the four numerical keypads of 2, 4, 7, and 8 appeared with faint fingerprint marks that were difficult to detect. The rest were still stuck with ordinary white powder residue.

  At this time, a hint of joy appeared on Jiang Yan's face.

  Upon seeing this scene, Lorraine's eyebrows suddenly jumped and her eyes lit up! ...Damn it, so that's how it is!!... This, this Yan sister has a great move! She can even think of such an against-the-sky trick!!

  Because the numeric keypad on the safe is made of metal, fingerprints will be left behind when touched. Normally, they can't be seen, but if some powder, such as wall dust, is applied to it, the fingerprint marks can gradually appear. This trick is an essential skill for collecting fingerprints at crime scenes in criminal investigations, and unexpectedly, Jiang Yanying cleverly used it.

  However, Jiang Yan's joyful expression only flashed for a moment, and she then turned serious and asked Luolin in a low voice: "When monitoring Qian Baiwan today, how many times did he press the button?"

  Lorraine thought for a moment and, thanks to his incredible memory, replied firmly: "Five Down."

  "Are you sure?"

  "A thousand truths and ten thousand certainties."

  “……” Jiang Yan furrowed her brow again, pondering for a moment before speaking slowly, “This is going to be tough. Now there are only four numerical keys with fingerprints on them, which means the five-digit password of Qian Baiwan's safe is made up of these four numbers: 2, 4, 7, and 8. One of the numbers must have been pressed twice, but the sequence is unknown, so we can only try one by one.”

  Lorraine calmly said: "Then try a few more times."

  Jiang Yan coldly glanced at Luo Lin: "You make it sound easy, but ordinary safes have automatic alarm systems. If the correct code can't be entered within a limited number of attempts, the alarm system on Qian Baiwan's body will go off, and he'll definitely rush back in time!"

  Lorraine took a deep breath and said in a serious tone: "But now there is no other way."

  "Alright." Jiang Yan turned her head again, throwing a sentence at Luolin, "Don't talk, I'll analyze the fingerprint touch rule again, hopefully it will work this time."

  Luo Lin stopped talking and listened carefully to the movements outside the door. He knew that he was absolutely inexperienced in this aspect, so it's better to honestly pay attention to the movements outside and give Jiang Yan a peaceful environment to think.

  At this time, Jiang Yan's beautiful eyes looked exceptionally calm, without any feeling of tension. This was also related to her long-term work in the criminal police brigade, the more critical the moment, the more desperate the situation, the less she could afford to have distractions.

  Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yan carefully observed the subtle differences in the fingerprint impressions on those four buttons.

  She soon discovered that there were obvious overlapping fingerprints on the "4" key, while the fingerprint patterns on other keys were relatively simple and clear. After confirming that the 4th key was repeatedly pressed, she carefully observed the fingerprints on other keys again. Due to the different order of input and the different positions of the keys, Qian's fingers touched the keys in absolutely different directions when entering the password. By carefully deducing from the shape of the fingerprint marks, it might be possible to infer the sequence of password entry.

  This was a highly technical task, and Jiang Yan's brain was racing at this moment, her eyebrows furrowed even more tightly. Unconsciously, fine beads of sweat had appeared on her forehead, and a faint fragrance emanated from her body.

  The atmosphere was tense, and Loring was also worried about Jiang Yan's silent contemplation. Finally, just as the air was about to condense, Jiang Yan suddenly stretched out her slender fingers and pressed the numerical decoding key "click click click...". Five times, a faint alarm sounded, and the safe did not open.

  Lorraine's heart sank by half.

  However, Jiang Yan didn't stop for a moment, and again stretched out her slender fingers, slapping five more times.

  "Beep...beep...beep..." The safe still didn't open.

  "Bang bang bang bang bang."

  "Beep beep beep..."

  "Bang bang bang bang bang."

  "Beep beep beep..."

  "Bang bang bang bang bang."

  "Hmm—"

  "Got it."

  Just as Lorraine couldn't help but want to stop Jiang Yan's non-stop rapid decoding behavior, the safe finally made a long, faint sound, and then the cabinet opened directly. A thick file appeared before her eyes. Moreover, there was also a thick black notebook. When Jiang Yan opened it, her eyes widened even more!

  He immediately turned his head to Lorraine and said: "Look at this! It's the income statement of Qian Baiwan's Fengyue project!!"

  My god, double harvest! Double harvest!! Tonight was indeed worth it!!

  Lorraine and Jiang Yan both had huge smiles on their faces!!

  "Hurry! Get the file out!" Lorin urged.

  "What's up?"

  "All!!"

  Jiang Yan held a thick stack of files to her chest without hesitation. At this time, Luo Lin also rushed over in an instant, quickly closing the safe and wiping off the white powder on the digital keypad. He then took out a tissue to wipe away the remaining powder residue on the floor, closed the hidden compartment panel with a whoosh, and moved the lush potted plant back to its original position.

  The two stood up, carefully surveying the environment around them, and after finding no remaining traces, they exchanged a glance, tacitly understanding each other. They quickly walked towards the door of the office rest room to leave. However, just then, Lorin's extremely sharp hearing suddenly made her pause, and her face tensed up as she blocked Jiang Yan's body. Her outstretched hand accidentally... landed on Jiang Yan's full and round breasts... Due to using too much force, it even compressed and deformed Jiang Yan's chest, which was wrapped in a white tight-fitting sweater...

  "Ah, you!……" Jiang Yan suddenly stiffened, feeling electrified all over, she had never been touched on the chest by a man before!!! This Luo Lin was too much!!! Jiang Yan felt her face burning with anger and shame, a fierce fire surging up from her chest, for a moment she didn't know whether it was indignation, humiliation or astonishment that flooded her heart. Anyway, her expression was very ugly, if she hadn't been holding an important document in her hand, she might have slapped Luo Lin's face unconsciously!

  She Jiang Yan had a bit of a good impression on Luo Lin in her heart, but she absolutely wouldn't allow any man to touch her chest!!!

  Unfortunately, Lorraine had no intention of letting her make a sound at this time. One hand suddenly covered Jiang Yan's mouth as she was about to cry out, and then with a very serious expression, she said in a low voice: "We must hide quickly! Someone is coming back!!"

  When Jiang Yan heard Luo Lin's words, she also felt a sudden jolt. Originally intending to bite Luo Lin's hand, her movement was now frozen. Suppressing the emotions in her heart, she listened carefully and indeed heard a string of curses coming from the corridor outside, with the voice getting closer and closer. Luo Lin's eyebrows furrowed even tighter at this moment: "It's Qian Baiwan! I recognize his voice!"

  Thinking, a pair of eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, trying to find a temporary hiding place. Unfortunately, there was no wardrobe in this office lounge, only a long and wide floor-to-ceiling curtain, which was dark gold in color and not easy to see through...

  At this point, the situation was urgent and couldn't afford to think twice! At the critical moment, Lorraine didn't say a word and hugged Jiang Yan, quickly dashing behind the luxurious floor-to-ceiling curtains. Just as the two figures hid behind the curtains, the door of the office lounge was opened from the outside. Through the blurred image that came through the curtains, Qian Baiwan's stout figure appeared before the eyes of the two people.
