Chapter 20 — After My Brother Passed Away, I Received a Mysterious Text Message

They are like giant silent monsters. Constantly swallowing huge amounts of data. At the same time hiding the darkest secrets. I started my “official” job. Holding the mop in my hand, I carefully wiped every inch of the cold floor. Move slowly. Just like a woman who has done manual labor all her life. But my eyes never stopped observing. Camera location. Guard's patrol route. Location of fire cabinets. Everything matches exactly with the diagram that Ma Tu Vien gave me. His voice rang in the headset.

“What's the situation?”

“Everything is normal.”

I replied in a volume so low I could barely hear it.

"In five minutes, the security guard will pass by your area. Be careful to avoid your presence."

I immediately pushed the cleaning cart into a narrow equipment room. The sound of heavy footsteps coming closer from afar. Then gradually go away. I breathed a sigh of relief. Time passes minute by minute. The clock on the wall shows eight o'clock in the morning. Day shift employees began entering the building one by one. Specialized vehicles carrying leaders lined up and stopped in front of the main hall. Through the surveillance image transmitted by Ma Tu Vien, I saw So Minh. He wore a perfectly tailored suit. His face was full of satisfaction. It seems that the storms of online opinion have no effect on him. Walking next to him is Truong Vien. Also wear a neat suit. Today he did not appear as a police officer. It's the "security advisor" of the shareholders' meeting. The two of them stepped into the VIP elevator that led straight to the top floor.

“They're in.”

Ma Tu Vien's voice rang out.

“At nine thirty, the shareholders meeting officially begins.”

“The security level in the basement has been lowered to the lowest level.”

“Your time for action begins now.”

"Ly Tu Mai"'s work shift ends at seven o'clock in the morning. I had to find a place to hide. Pushing the cleaning cart to the deepest area of floor B3, I stopped in front of an abandoned ventilation duct entrance. The camera here has been broken for a long time. I removed the mop stem. Take out the things hidden inside. Then push the cleaning cart into an adjacent storage room. Then quickly crawled into the dark ventilation duct, smelling of rust. I crouched in the corner. Waiting quietly in the darkness. Wait for the moment of final judgment. Inside the ventilation duct was eerily quiet. Only the sound of my heart beating remained. And a low sound came from the server area in the distance. Darkness and tight spaces often make people afraid. But I don't. My heart is strangely calm right now. Like the sea before the storm comes. I leaned back against the cold steel. Gently close your eyes. His brother's face appeared in his mind. He smiled and said to me:

“Tinh Tinh, don't be afraid.”

"Even if the sky falls, I'll still be there to support you."

Now it's your turn. Use your own hands to support the sky for me. Even if the price I pay is my life. The headphones remained silent. Ma Siyuan is using his method to give me the final time to mentally prepare. I don't know how much time has passed. Maybe an hour. It could also be two hours. Finally his voice rang out again.

“Nine thirty.”

“The shareholders meeting has begun.”

“So Minh is presenting its annual report.”

“Look at the smile on his face, I just wanted to punch him.”

In his voice was anger suppressed to the limit.

“All security forces are gathered on the top floor.”

“The basement patrol just passed by.”

“Next round is ninety minutes away.”

“Begin action.”

I opened my eyes. In the darkness, his eyes were incredibly bright. I pushed the ventilation grille open. Gently jump down. Doesn't make any noise. I adjusted my clothes. Then walk straight towards the entrance to floor B4. At this moment, I am no longer the limping Ly Tu Mai. It's Chu Tinh. Agile. If you want to go from B3 to B4, you must pass two coded fireproof doors. I stopped in front of the first door. Next to it is a card scanning device. I took out the copied authority card from my pocket. Hands shake a bit. This is the most important link. It is also the most risky link in the entire plan. Can this card bypass Tinh Vong's most advanced security system? I took a deep breath. Insert the card into the scanner. Time seemed to freeze. A small sound rang out. The red light turns green. The heavy steel door made a "click" sound. The lock is open. I have succeeded. I immediately pushed the door open and walked in. The door behind slowly closed. Don't stop even for a second. I continue to move forward. The hallway was quiet with no one in sight. Only the sound of footsteps echoed. I reached the second door. Repeat the previous operation. The green light turns on again. I got past the second line of defense. Before my eyes appeared a metal staircase leading down. End of the stairs. It was a giant alloy door emitting cold air. There are no words on the door. But on the wall next door. There is a very small symbol engraved. A bird is spreading its wings.
