<h4>Chapter 953: Chapter 959: Theft (Part 1)</h4>
Coming out of the room, Ling Chen held his phone and paced back and forth in the wide, red-carpeted corridor, observing the surroundings. From the thirtieth floor and above, Biyun Hotel consists entirely of luxury suites, each one simr to the room Ling Chen was staying in. Because the suites are sorge, there are only two such suites on each floor.
After wandering for a while, Ling Chen noticed the door to the suite next door was closed and wasn’t sure if someone was staying inside. He thought about checking but noticed that the corridor was filled with surveince cameras, with one directly facing the suite’s door. If he approached, the hotel’s security would definitely notice him.
Furthermore, if hotel security saw him acting suspiciously, they might mistake him for something else. To avoid any issue for the uing operation, it was best to be cautious.
Passing through the corridor, Ling Chen reached the security passage entrance. Beforeing, he had Hu Fei investigate the building’s structure. Since those who could afford theserge suites were either wealthy or powerful, ordinary wealthy families couldn’t afford such rooms. To ensure the safety of the guests, the security passages from the thirtieth to thirty-third floors are isted and do not connect with the lower floors. Moreover, there are security personnel stationed at each floor’s passageway, making it almost impossible for outsiders to pass through.
Given the hotel’s rigorous security system, Ling Chen had abandoned the idea of sneaking into the hotel and decided to check in directly. This decision undoubtedly made the operation more convenient.
At the security passage, Ling Chen did not push the door open but stood at the entrance, listening carefully to any sounds from behind the door. As expected, he could hear breathing and faint footsteps from behind.
There is indeed someone standing guard!
After familiarizing himself with the surroundings, Ling Chen returned directly to the hotel room. As soon as he entered, his phone rang immediately.
Taking out the phone, Ling Chen walked to the window and answered.
"It’s sote, why aren’t you resting? Howe you have time to call me?"
"The owner of the Biyun Hotel called me earlier, indirectly asking if one of my friends was staying at their hotel. I replied following your instructions. Hey, why are you at Biyun Hotel? It’s not like you don’t have anywhere to stay."
Ling Chen smiled and said, "Don’t worry about it, I have my reasons." Pausing for a moment, Ling Chen continued, "It’s gettingte, get some rest. I have some things to handle. If I have time tomorrow, I’lle and keep youpany."
"No worries, you go handle your business. Thepany has an important meeting tomorrow, so I might not have time to apany you even if you came."
"Alright, I’ll get in touch when I have free time then."
After hanging up, Ling Chen turned to look at Hu Fei and Kaelina, who were busy, and asked, "How’s it going? Is everything ready?"
Hu Fei booted up theputer, noticed a series of green lights shining on the equipment, and made an ’OK’ gesture to Ling Chen.
"How about you, Eighth?"
"Brother Ling Cheng, don’t worry, everything’s set."
Ling Chen nodded and said, "Fatty, now it’s up to you, don’t let me down." Saying this, Ling Chen picked up a backpack from beside the sofa and ced it by the ss window.
He then unzipped the bag, took out a ss suction cup, and attached it to the ss surface. Once the ss was securely suctioned, Ling Chen picked up a ss cutter and, using the suction cup as the center, cut out the entire pane of ss.
Setting aside the ss, Ling Chen looked down from the opening, feeling the cool and refreshing night breeze.
"Fatty, it’s good on my end."
Without looking back, Hu Fei replied, "Remember, it’s the twenty-seventh floor."
"Got it." Ling Chen responded, taking the rope Wei Jiahao handed him, and jumped straight out of the ss frame. Under the guidance of the rope, Ling Chen’s body descended vertically, rapidly.
The twenty-seventh floor!
As he was about to reach the floor, Ling Chen gripped the rope tightly with both hands, significantly slowing his previously rapid descent.
Since it was night,bined with the high-floor setting, Ling Chen’s dark attire rendered him unnoticed. Soon, Ling Chen reached the outer ledge of the twenty-seventh floor smoothly.
Clinging to the thick ss surface, Ling Chen held the rope with one hand to steady himself, while the other hand took out a sharp knife, drawing a half-meter diameter circle on the ss. Once the knife line was sufficiently deep, Ling Chen put away the knife and kicked the pane. With a crash, the entire circr piece of ss shattered.
Climbing through the ss opening, a row of shimmering lights immediately appeared before Ling Chen’s eyes. He nced around and pressed his earpiece. "Fatty, I’m in the server room."
"Copy. Insert what I gave you into their mainframe, and after I deploy the software, we’ll be able to synchronize control over the hotel’s surveince and parts of the security system."
"Understood!" Ling Chen replied and, aided by the dim light, quickly maneuvered among the rows of equipment to locate the mainframe. Soon, Ling Chen found the mainframe controlling the entire hotel in the center of the server room.

Plugging in Hu Fei’s USB drive, after waiting for about three minutes, he heard Hu Fei’s "OK" over the earpiece.
"Alright, I’m out of here."
Immediately, Ling Chen retraced his steps back to the ss window. Holding onto the rope, he gave a light tug, and receiving the signal, Kaelina and Wei Jiahao pulled the rope up swiftly. Before long, Ling Chen returned safely to the luxury suite on the thirty-second floor.
Without a moment’s rest, Ling Chen strode over to Hu Fei, asking while looking at theputer screen, "How’s it, did you receive the signal?"
Hu Fei smiled confidently, "Don’t worry, when have I ever let you down?" Saying this, Hu Fei tapped the keyboard, and a surveince screen immediately appeared on theputer screen.
"Look, this is the top floor surveince."
ncing briefly, Ling Chen’s brows furrowed slightly. On the surveince screen, the top floor corridor had more than a dozen security personnel in suits, not counting those inside the rooms. With such rigorous defense, even infiltration alone would be troublesome. Moreover, Ling Chen was most concerned about the two middle-aged men he encountered during the day.
His instincts told him those two middle-aged men were definitely not simple.
"Where are you nning to enter from?"
Upon Hu Fei’s inquiry, Ling Chen touched his nose, falling into deep thought.
"How about I attack from the front, to distract them for you?" Kaelina suggested.
"No need." Ling Chen replied, "That won’t be of any help. Let’s wait a bit; after midnight, I’ll go up first. If there’s a chance, I’ll take action directly."
