Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

Chapter 373 Robbery (2)

Feeling something amiss, Athena kept track of the previous truck and also searched for the data from the company it belonged. The time and place matched.

Because the CCTV she accessed, couldn't capture faces inside, she had nowhere to begin the link. Athena dug deeper, hacking the company's server to obtain the name lists of staff who had duties today, relevant to the bank.

There, she found three males. None of them exhibited any threats and this conjecture was confirmed after Athena sifted through their backgrounds. Ordinary people supporting their families.

But her suspicion rose again when she couldn't locate the location of the trio's phones. The last phone usage was far away from here.

Athena faced limitations for the first time. She knew she would one day, like the current scenario, where the staff turned off the phones on purpose collectively or they weren't the three men, Athena found from the beginning.

Just when Athena was about to remind Ling Qingyu, a sudden change inside the bank caught her attention. She had been monitoring the cameras inside the bank as protection for her mother.

The moment all the CCTVs snapped from disconnection, a huge alarm bell rang. She instantly paged her mother that there could be danger and to await rescue and further news.

Athena still wasn't certain of the true reason but losing visual wasn't good news and the situation had a 70 percent chance, something bad was about to happen.

When Athena figured out her connection with Ling Qingyu's electronic glasses and mobile phone had inexplicably weakened, the probability became a certainty.

Based on the level of network blockades, someone used low-grade jammer devices which Athena immediately knew, that no civilians could reach outside for help, and was enough for certain parties to commit crimes within a short period. What else but robbery from the suspicious people in the previous truck?

Besides, Athena concluded there should be more than three, possibly hidden in the compartment behind.

Fortunately, the devices Ling Qingyu held were manufactured by herself with the utmost sophisticated technology and care. Even if interrupted by a strong military-use signal jammer, Athena had tested her products still worked extremely well.

So many black technologies popped out under her innovation and research. They were small things but showed usefulness in an extreme situation like now.

Without wasting time, Athena told Ling Qingyu her guess and her mother agreed with her idea, which made Athena jubilant with joy.s

"Why not, Athena?" The 1st leader almost blared into the radio. "Our boss is in danger and we must act. Not to mention, this happens because of our dereliction of duties."

"You better give me an explanation, Athena." 2nd leader followed. "Don't think that your prior success and contribution can overwhelm us."

Athena wanted to smash these girls' brains. How could she not be anxious? She was worse than them.

"Listen, I have my own reason and I don't have time to argue with you. This is the direct order from Moth—Ms. Ling." Athena stated. "Although the robbers used jammer, they posed no threat to us. For now, we prepare and wait while I maintain contact with Ms. Ling.

You can act when your comrades arrive."

"Roger that." The two on the radios gritted their teeth and obliged.

"The bad news is that I'm blind inside—the CCTV system is cut off by these robbers. You're the only human intelligence I have. I don't need to say more what you need to do next."

"Understood."

The beautiful bodyguards, particularly the one sitting in the backseat, took the necessary tools in the trunk. Since they were riding in SUVs, they didn't need to go out to get their stuff.

Binoculars, rifles with attachments already settled, body armor along with protective fragsuits, vests, magazines, helmets...etc. Within a minute, everyone finished equipping and performed their roles.

Those with scopes tried to see through the bank interior from outside. They watched in silence as they saw several men, heads covered in black hoods and special comedic expressions, stormed the building and unleashed chaos. The sight was blurry with the crowd mingling into one another, making it hard to differentiate between non-threats and threats.

The girls sighed in relief as no gunshots occurred where hope for a peaceful outcome was ideal. They dared not tackle the robbery, for fear of worsening without sufficient preparations. The longer the time, the higher the probability of success.

The scenario had yet to prompt the group to spring into action. They had no intels, no plans, just plainly rushing in risked everything. How many enemies? Who were they? Were they trained or amateur? The slightest info had huge effects on the success.

Ling Qingyu's guards had no reason to assault unless these bastards sprayed their bullets on everyone. Of course, the priority to protect the asset (Ling Qingyu) might suffice as a strong motive but the catastrophic aftermath dissuaded Ling Qingyu, when it was against her low-key development plan.

So long as the robbers stuck to the code, they wouldn't act either.
