NOVEL WEB 0028 – The Robbery
January 26th, 7:00 PM.
Zoe Carter, who had been playing games for a long time.
Originally started playing "Maincraft," in the process of building an iron farm machine and a villager trading center. She intended to be a shut-in gamer for a while. However, Benny's call came shortly after, informing her of the appointment...
Oh wait, it was time to protect a gumball.
So, she temporarily put down the game in her hands. According to the address given by Benny, she quickly took the subway to the destination: Georgie Washington Road No. 3 Office Building, Far-West Education and Training Institution.
Benny was standing under the office building. He waved cheerfully at Zoe. Seeing this, Zoe approached. "I know nothing, just came out for a walk," Zoe smiled slightly.
First, she clearly stated that she would distance herself. According to the details discussed on the way there, her main role next was to bolster Benny's courage.
In case of trouble, she could first distance herself. Hearing this, Benny nodded, then smiled and led Zoe to the floor where the Far-West Education and Training Institution was located.
As the elevator reached the floor, there was a brilliant scene in front of them. Compared to other companies that would have already finished work by this time, the education and training institution's working hours are generally from one in the afternoon to around nine in the evening.
So, this time was exactly when everyone in the education and training institution was bustling about, people coming and going.
Following the principle of "darkness under the lamp," Benny took advantage of this time when many outsiders were coming and going to bring Zoe, who claimed to be interested in enrolling, into the mix, saying they were here to promote the courses and sell them.
They weren't conspicuous among the crowd. But in fact, once inside, Benny didn't waste much time.
He directly took Zoe and headed for the office of the boss here. The reconnaissance done a few days ago was obviously helpful. Not only did they know the boss wasn't here today, but they also timed it during a busy period when everyone was occupied.
So, they encountered no obstacles along the way and soon arrived at the boss's office.
After some skillful lock-picking, the office door opened. Seeing this, Benny opened his slightly wide clothes. Inside were two thermos flasks filled with water.
"Why bring two?" Zoe raised an eyebrow, somewhat curious.
"Of course, in case one isn't enough, and I've also added something to ensure the money tree dies for sure. See? the room reeks with feng shui scam," saying this, Benny walked in with the two thermos flasks of boiling water, preparing to carry out his revenge of scalding the trees with boiling water, while Zoe stood with her arms crossed, leaning against the door behind her, keeping watch for Benny.
With her transparent world, she didn't need to be completely focused on keeping watch. As long as she didn't space out, her transparent world, always open, wouldn't miss even a single mosquito.
However, even if she spaced out, it wouldn't be a problem. Benny was obviously skilled in this kind of covert operation. Apart from the reconnaissance beforehand, he also prepared double the amount of boiling water, gloves to prevent leaving fingerprints, and a five-minute loop of normal surveillance footage to replace the current one.
It seemed like he treated this operation as a top priority. His prior preparations, timing it perfectly during a busy period when everyone was too occupied to pay attention to their situation, were impeccable.
Soon after. Benny emerged from the office. There was no disturbance.
"Although I've achieved my goal, I plan to work at this education and training institution for two more days. By then, I can see how the boss reacts when he discovers the money tree has died."
"I won't see you off." Benny showed a face eager for drama.
Hearing this. Zoe nodded and bid farewell directly. As she left the education and training institution, she made quite a show in front of many staff, whispering "quietly" about how expensive the courses here were.
On the subway ride home. Zoe pondered on how to improve the iron farm machine and villager trading center when she got back.
Time passed quickly. Before long. Zoe arrived at Wings Gone New Village subway station.
After coming out from exit A, she walked a short distance to her building. But before she could even enter the elevator. Zoe suddenly frowned. As the elevator ascended, nearing her own floor. Zoe's frown deepened. Finally, after the elevator reached the sixth floor and Zoe stepped out, her expression turned somewhat grim.
In her transparent world perception. The scent of a stranger lingered around her doorstep and inside her home. This scent was fresh.
Evidently. During her absence from home. Someone had visited her place!
