SRGA Chapter 142

 "Be good, don't cry, don't cry," Lin Tian hugged Luo Bingning tenderly.

Tears streamed down Luo Bingning's face, dripping onto Lin Tian's shoulder, igniting anger within him.

They'd been married for so long, and Luo Bingning hadn't cried before. Yet, the thief had managed to make her cry.

"Honey, I don't care about other things, but the jade bracelet Auntie bought for me is also gone," Luo Bingning sobbed even harder.

"Bingning, don't worry, I will definitely find it. Even if the thief has three heads and six arms, he won't escape," Lin Tian comforted Luo Bingning. "Do you still not believe in my abilities?"

Luo Bingning, with tear-filled eyes, looked at Lin Tian poignantly. "Can you really find it? I feel so sorry to Auntie."

Lin Tian wiped away Luo Bingning's tears with his hand.

He transmitted a message to Luo Bingning: "Bingning, I'm using telepathy to talk to you now. Don't mention the typhoon, or anything else."

"It might not be an ordinary thief; there could be bugs or something similar installed in the house."

Luo Bingning was taken aback.

Lin Tian whispered softly, "Stop crying. If you keep crying, you won't look pretty. There are surveillance cameras everywhere now, and we can find the thief."

"Okay," Luo Bingning nodded.

"I'll go check the surveillance footage with the property management," Lin Tian said.

"You stay home and search carefully to see if anything else is missing."

"Okay, I'll check again," Luo Bingning replied.

Luo Bingning understood Lin Tian's implication; he wanted her to search for hidden bugs or other surveillance devices.

Lin Tian didn't go to the property management office; instead, he went to the rooftop.

It was dark, and there was no one on the rooftop. He went to a corner and took out his laptop from the system space.

Although there was a computer at home, there might be hidden cameras or bugs in his room.

His hacking abilities couldn't be exposed.

Lin Tian quickly hacked into the surveillance system of the neighborhood.

If it was just an ordinary thief, it would be much simpler, but if not, it could involve foreign forces.

"Hmm?" Lin Tian's eyes gleamed.

There was a problem with the property's surveillance video!

A video lasting half an hour had been replaced by footage from the same time a few days earlier. Without careful observation, even the property staff would find it difficult to detect the video substitution.

"A master!"

"This is not something an ordinary thief would do."

Lin Tian's eyes gleamed.

The other party's methods were extremely sophisticated.

But in front of Lin Tian, such methods were like child's play.

The replaced video had been thoroughly deleted, but after some time, Lin Tian managed to restore it.

"I've found you!"

Using the elevator surveillance, Lin Tian quickly found his target.

The target was a stylish-looking woman wearing a mask, making it difficult to see her face clearly.

Lin Tian felt that her hair looked like a wig.

After getting off the elevator and entering the room, Lin Tian couldn't see what she did. He quickly checked the surveillance to see where she went next.

"Hmm?" Lin Tian frowned soon after.

After leaving, she took a taxi to a urban village. The place she got off was a blind spot in the surveillance, and there were many vans coming and going in the area.

She could easily get into any van and leave.

"Very cautious, a professional," Lin Tian thought to himself.

"I'm afraid we won't find anything through the surveillance from when she arrived," Lin Tian thought.

He quickly checked the surveillance from when she arrived. Sure enough, the woman was in a taxi in another blind spot on the surveillance.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Tian checked his mother Chen Juan's bank records.

Through where she made the payment, he found the store where Luo Bingning and the others bought the jade bracelet.

He obtained videos from the store and several nearby surveillance cameras.

"Such professional methods, either it's a top-notch thief, or the other party didn't come for the valuables at all," Lin Tian thought.

If it was the latter, there was a high possibility that there were surveillance cameras or bugs in the house.

"Ring, ring—"

Lin Tian called the leader of the special case team, Fang Hejun.

"Team leader, there's been a break-in at my house, and the losses are not small. Can you send some capable brothers over?" Lin Tian said.

Fang Hejun's face changed.

Lin Tian said there were burglaries at his house, and the losses were not small. Could it be that Lin Tian's gun was stolen by the thief?

"Lin Tian, I'll bring people over right away!" Fang Hejun said in a deep voice.

He didn't say much on the phone.

Soon, Fang Hejun brought several people and rushed over. They sounded the alarm, and in less than half an hour, they arrived at Lin Tian's neighborhood.

Lin Tian waited outside the neighborhood for Fang Hejun and his team.

"Lin Tian, was the gun stolen?" Fang Hejun pulled Lin Tian aside and asked.

Lin Tian shook his head slightly. "I didn't keep the gun at home. I suspect there might be bugs or something similar installed in the house."

"I just checked the surveillance with the property management. Some footage has been replaced, indicating that it wasn't the work of ordinary petty thieves," Lin Tian explained.

Fang Hejun nodded. "If there are surveillance cameras or bugs in your house, we will definitely find them."

"I believe in that. You guys are professionals," Lin Tian affirmed.

Soon, Lin Tian led Fang Hejun and his team to the house.

"Bingning, they are from the National Security Bureau. This case is not simple, they are here to inspect if there are any issues at home," Lin Tian informed.

Luo Bingning nodded in understanding.

Fang Hejun instructed, "Tian Jing, Meng Qing, you two check Miss Luo's room carefully, don't overlook anything."

"Yes, Captain," they replied.

As Luo Bingning was a girl, and some things might be more private, Fang Hejun thoughtfully arranged for two female officers to inspect her room.

Soon, Fang Hejun and his team began their meticulous inspection.

Lin Tian went to his own bedroom.

There weren't many things in his bedroom.

Fang Hejun and the other two also arrived in the bedroom, and after a quick inspection, they found nothing.

"Lin Tian, we need to dismantle your computer, keyboard, and chassis to check. These are common places where things can be hidden," Fang Hejun suggested.

Lin Tian nodded.

Soon, his computer monitor, keyboard, and chassis were dismantled.

"Captain, I found something!" exclaimed one of the officers who was dismantling the keyboard.

Lin Tian's expression turned grave.

Even as a grandmaster of martial arts, it would be difficult for him to discover such a small device hidden inside the keyboard.

If they were sure that the keyboard was compromised, then many other places in the house could also be hiding spots.

"Keep searching! Don't overlook any place or detail!" Fang Hejun commanded sternly.

"Yes, Captain!" the others replied loudly.

Fang Hejun held up the tiny bug. "Lin Tian, finding this means it's definitely not a typical burglary."

"Many countries' special agents don't even have this kind of bug."

Lin Tian nodded slightly.

"Captain, I appreciate your help," Lin Tian said.

Fang Hejun shook his head. "It's not a bother. With your and Master Lin's relationship, your matters are related to national security."

An hour passed quickly.

Fang Hejun and his team found a total of three bugs.

One in the master bedroom, one in Lin Tian's bedroom, and one in the living room. No pinhole cameras were found.

Bugs could be hidden very well and were not easy to detect.

If it weren't for professionals like Fang Hejun and his team, Lin Tian himself might not have been able to find them all in a day. He didn't have the expertise in this area.

"Now that your house is clear of such devices, there's still a possibility of spies infiltrating in the future. I'd like to discuss something with you," Fang Hejun said.

"Captain, please go ahead," Lin Tian replied.

"I want to apply to have a few of our people stationed in your property security team. If something like this happens again, they'll be able to detect and handle it promptly," Fang Hejun proposed.

"Captain, this is great for us. I have no reason to refuse," Lin Tian smiled.

Fang Hejun nodded. "That's good to hear."

"We failed in this matter. Knowing your relationship with Master Lin, we should have made arrangements earlier," Fang Hejun admitted.

"I won't disturb you further. We'll do our best to find the spy who came to your house," Fang Hejun concluded.

Lin Tian nodded.

Fang Hejun and his team left.

Luo Bingning looked at Lin Tian with a downcast expression. "Honey, does that mean we won't be able to retrieve the bracelet?"

"Don't worry, we'll find it. I promise!" Lin Tian reassured, embracing Luo Bingning.

His head touched the golden chest on top of Luo Bingning's head.
