Chapter 333: Successfully Retrieving It
Another door greeted them after they made the corner, and Yun Xiangxiang looked at it. “Seems like this is using retina recognition…”
“Don’t worry. Any electronic system can be hacked.” Song Mian held Yun Xiangxiang’s hands and ma.s.saged it gently for her.
She felt weak and sore from exerting herself too much just now, but now she felt fine after being ma.s.saged by Song Mian.
It didn’t take long for Song Mian to easily open this security door, revealing a room that looked as if a jewelry exhibit was held there.
The jewelry was covered by gla.s.s and put on different platforms. The one in the middle was the golden diamond Song Mian wanted.
Song Mian gave Yun Xiangxiang a pair of gla.s.ses, and she saw infrared lasers all over the place once she wore the gla.s.ses.
“Go on, see if you can challenge it,” Song Mian turned sideways and gave the stage to Yu Xiangxiang.
Song Mian was also wearing the same gla.s.ses, and he raised his wrist, revealing the watch he was wearing to be a computer.
Yun Xiangxiang had only heard of tech like this, and she had never seen one. The screen showed a device that used holographic tech to display the infrared lasers coming from the walls.
“Go for it. It’s fine even if you touched it by accident,” Song Mian encouraged Yun Xiangxiang.
Yun Xiangxiang took a deep breath and observed the crisscrossing infrared lasers closely. The gaps between them couldn’t even allow a cat to pa.s.s through, much less a human, and she wondered who designed such an elaborate security system.
She carefully observed them and thought of how she could pa.s.s through them, trying her best to remember the most important spots in the shortest times.
Yun Xiangxiang only moved after an hour. Even though Song Mian said it was okay even if she touched it, Yun Xiangxiang hoped to make this a perfect mission, since it wasn’t every day she could have this chance.
As the lasers were too densely packed, some gaps couldn’t even fit her calf, so she could only do a handstand and go through it that way.
She needed to consider how to move her legs and hips as she was handstanding so she could pa.s.s without coming into contact with the lasers…
Some places almost turned her into pieces…
Some places almost caused her upper body and lower body to misalign…
Yun Xiangxiang was glad her results after a year of training in jiu jitsu was great, as this was also a test on her jiu jitsu skills.
She was almost reaching her goal. Yun Xiangxiang kept looking at the dense lasers, noticing that she couldn’t steal the diamond, and she measured the height of the laser.
As it was higher than her waist, if she somersaulted over, she would have to move her upper body before her feet had touched the ground, or else her waist would come into contact with the laser.
Yun Xiangxiang wanted to try out this difficult move, so she carefully made a handstand as she avoided all the lasers around her.
She took a few deep breaths and leapt like a dolphin leaping over a circle. Before her feet landed, her whole figure was already in the air.
She managed to pa.s.s through the laser, but falling straight to the ground wasn’t a great feeling.
It was fortunate that she succeeded.
Yun Xiangxiang endured the pain as she supported herself up and looked back at Song Mian, but he gazed sadly at her leg.
She followed his gaze and saw a single laser hitting her foot.
Yun Xiangxiang was discouraged, and she thought this place was too difficult to get through.
Song Mian walked straight towards her. He must have silenced the system, so they were nothing but decoration here.
He squatted beside Yun Xiangxiang and extended his hands. “You did fantastically; it’s your first time, after all.”
“A failure is still a failure. We can’t ignore the faults just because the process was great.” Yun Xiangxiang grabbed his hands.
Song Mian pulled her up. “I’ll make a better one for you to practice after I go back. You will get it eventually.”
Yun Xiangxiang only smiled. She would be going for the selection after she had gone back, so she could only wait and see how the producers would select the actress.
Song Mian held her hand and stood in front of the gla.s.s cabinet housing the golden diamond. As it was a brightly lit s.p.a.ce, the golden diamond sparkled brilliantly from inside the gla.s.s as the light shone on it.
“What about the gla.s.s?” Yun Xiangxiang asked.
“Simple.” Song Mian smiled and hurled his fist at it.
The gla.s.s shattered instantly, and Yun Xiangxiang was agape. It was different from what she had in mind, no matter in reality or the film…
They said this kind of gla.s.s couldn’t even suffer the tiniest bit of pressure or activate the alarm.
“I just hacked it.” Song Mian waved the mini-computer on his wrist.
Yun Xiangxiang took a long time to memorize the path and get through it, so it was enough for Song Mian to disrupt the alarm system.
This room’s soundproofing was superb, so n.o.body was alerted even when Song Mian smashed the gla.s.s.
“Your hand…” Yun Xiangxiang grabbed Song Mian’s hand, but fortunately, there were no wounds.
“You won’t hurt yourself if you know where to strike and how much strength you should put in.” Song Mian took out a pet.i.te jewelry bag and put the diamond inside.
He placed a piece of paper in the diamond’s place and pressed it down with a shard of gla.s.s before taking Yun Xiangxiang’s hand and leaving.
They didn’t go out through the front door, but instead, they went back to the twenty-second floor, and Song Mian buckled the rope on his waist. “Hang tight.”
Yun Xiangxiang hugged him tightly. She had some experience with wire fu[1] in her films before, but never from such a height
It was a twenty-two storey building, and just looking down from that height would make anyone tremble, but she was magically unafraid as she hugged Song Mian.
The wind danced with her hair. As she fell rapidly, her heart pounded rapidly. She wanted to scream.
She could understand the feeling of bungee lovers now.
She did experience jumping off from a tall building since she ended her past life that way.
But as she was a.s.saulted by the pain from her stomach, jumping down was only a release for her, and she didn’t even feel any pain as she smashed to the ground.
This time, it was a full experience of letting her soul loose as they jumped down from that height.
And the one beside her was the one she loved and trusted the most.
“Thank you, Ah Mian. I will never forget this experience in my life.” Yun Xiangxiang kissed Song Mian the moment she landed.
Song Yao’s car immediately drove up to them, and Song Mian quickly pulled her up.
The building’s alarm soon sounded, since that was Song Mian’s plan of not letting Eric sleep well. When they jumped down, he didn’t even care to calculate the guards’ position, so someone must have seen them.
It was already late night when they returned to the winery, and this was the first time Yun Xiangxiang was feeling this excited even at this hour. Her excitement was impossible to quench.
Even after she bathed, she sat in her bed and looked at the golden diamond. When Song Mian came in, she asked, “Mine?”
“It’s your compensation, so of course, it’s yours.” This was the first time Song Mian saw Yun Xiangxiang adoring a diamond.
She wondered why she loved this too. Maybe it was because they got it differently, or perhaps the meaning Song Mian gave it made this different.
She just loved this diamond, and she wanted to wear it on her. “What do you think I should make this into?”
“Brooch.” A diamond of this shape wouldn’t be excellent if it were made into a ring unless it was cut.
