NOVEL NEXT Chapter 43 Reaching the 89th Floor, Smooth and Dashing
“Wait, what?”
“Is this for real?”
“Holy cow, 666! Is this even possible?”
“Brilliant! The clarity of Big Brother’s thinking is astonishing. To have himself delivered directly into Nansu Plaza like this is genius.”
“Big Brother’s mind works on a whole different level. His criminal thinking is crystal clear.”
“What’s going on? They’re delivering him directly to the 88th floor? What’s his end game? Every floor is under surveillance, so what is he targeting?”
Viewers watched the livestream in amazement as Wang Yun crouched into a gift box. As three gift shop employees wheeled him out on a small cart, their faces filled with bewilderment.
“Talk about off-the-charts intellect!”
“Will the show officers catch on?”
“I doubt it. Nansu Plaza is the largest plaza in Nancheng, home to hundreds of businesses and studios. With dozens of deliveries every day, they’re unlikely to inspect this one.”
“Even if they did inspect, they might not discover anything. Big Brother has already camouflaged the box with gifts.”
The livestream chat was buzzing as viewers speculated and debated. Meanwhile, a delivery van from the shop carried the gift box into the plaza’s underground parking garage.
At the garage entrance, the security officers raised the barrier after briefly inspecting the van’s interior and finding nothing suspicious.
The van proceeded into the underground garage, where the employees transferred the box onto a small cart and wheeled it into the elevator.
Inside Nansu Plaza’s surveillance room, Skyhawk and Saomao sat up front, supported by four other members of the plaza’s security team. This formed a collaborative effort between public and private security.
Their keen eyes continuously scanned the feeds from multiple surveillance cameras.
Assisted by a simplified version of the Sky Eye surveillance system, the security team could easily monitor everything. Their primary focus was on individuals who intentionally avoided the surveillance cameras, particularly solitary young men, and occasionally, women or men dressed as women. As such, they paid little attention to elevator number three in the underground garage, where Wang Yun was.
As the elevator ascended, the three gift shop employees made a seamless transfer between elevators, reaching the 88th floor without arousing any suspicion.
This floor was home to several prestigious restaurants, including some of Nancheng’s renowned sky-high dining establishments. Considering it was only ten in the morning, the area was sparsely populated.
Wang Yun was curled up inside the gift box, his eyes peering out through tiny holes. He instructed the employees, “Place me near the emergency staircase.”
“Of course, boss,” they replied, nodding before wheeling him to the designated spot.
Every high-rise building was equipped with such staircases, serving as emergency exits in case of unforeseen events.
Wang Yun had already done his homework. He knew that this particular emergency staircase had no surveillance cameras.
Once they reached the staircase, Wang Yun immediately instructed them to open the box.
“You can go back now,” he told the puzzled employees as he emerged.
“Are we just leaving it here?” they asked, somewhat baffled.
“Yes, this is perfect. You can go back now,” Wang Yun confirmed.
Though the employees were perplexed, they happily complied with the customer’s request.
Wang Yun, clutching the small gifts from inside the box, walked up the emergency staircase to the 89th floor.
This top level of the Nansu Plaza Tower was an ultra-luxurious banquet floor, often used for holding grand galas and lavish banquets.
That day, a high-end banquet was scheduled to take place, hosted by the Liu family of the Lingzhu Group. They had invited wealthy businessmen and magnates from Nancheng to attend. Notably, famous actresses would also be present.
The Lingzhu Group planned to unveil their most luxurious and top-tier necklace from their Lingzhu Jewelry line, named Dazzling Starry Sky.
This was Wang Yun’s target.
Emerging from the emergency staircase onto the 89th floor, Wang Yun stood near the exit door, his eyes glistening with intent. His next objective was to enter the main banquet hall.
He was aware that the surrounding surveillance cameras had a specific range within which they could monitor him.
Wang Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, making them appear smaller. He pulled out a piece of chewing gum and began to chew it.
‘Pop!’
Gently, he blew a large bubble that concealed half of his face. With a smile, he sucked the bubble back into his mouth and proceeded forward.
Upon entering the surveillance zone, he blew another bubble. Though not large, it was sufficient to obscure half of his face. In those crucial few seconds, he passed through the camera’s field of vision.
‘Pop!’
The bubble burst, and Wang Yun paused, feigning interest in his phone.
In the surveillance room of Nansu Plaza, the team watching the monitors didn’t catch this brief moment on the monitor for the 89th floor. They never suspected that a young man, sharply dressed and casually chewing gum, could be Wang Yun. Their primary attention was concentrated on the lower levels, not the upper floors of the Nansu Plaza Tower.
Because Wang Yun was already wearing a wig and had narrowed his eyes, and due to the obstruction from the chewing gum bubble, the Sky Eye surveillance system failed to identify him.
Wang Yun scanned the entrance of the banquet hall. Four young men, appearing to be security guards, were stationed there, inspecting intricately designed admission tickets. Observing this, Wang Yun slightly furrowed his brow.
Several men, young to middle-aged and dressed in formal attire, exited the elevator and made their way into the banquet hall, handing over their invitation cards as they went.
