Night Infiltration of the Enemy Camp (Part 1)
The title of "partner" sounds prestigious, but for Yu Jinli, the most direct feeling is that she is busier and poorer.
She was busy because Feng Jinxuan truly regarded her as his strategist.
He would show her the intricate personnel relationships and project profit chains within the group without any reservations, and then, using the rigorous logic unique to science-oriented men, he would ask her: "From a metaphysical perspective, which link is most prone to 'energy leakage'?"
Yu Jinli could only frantically study business knowledge while combining it with his own sense of luck to give some half-true, half-false "professional advice".
She was poor because she proactively applied to Feng Jinxuan to suspend her personal business on the "Koi is Coming" APP.
In her words, "To fight external threats, we must first secure our internal stability. We haven't completely cleared the 'viruses' within our own ranks yet, so I need to conserve my limited 'antivirus software' memory."
These words sounded righteous and dignified, but in reality, she was calculating her own little scheme: rather than earning those hard-earned 998 yuan, she would rather focus on helping the boss win this battle and then sit back and wait for the "project bonus" and "spoils dividends".
This is called strategic investment.
On this day, the Feng Group's annual charity gala was held as scheduled.
All the celebrities of Yuncheng gathered together, a dazzling display of talent and lively conversation.
As the nominal protagonist, Feng Jinxuan was naturally the focus of the entire event.
Feng Jinhong also played the role of a perfect "good older brother". The two brothers attended together, chatting and laughing, creating a harmonious scene that dispelled the rumors about internal strife in the Feng family that had circulated recently.
Yu Jinli also attended the event in full regalia as Feng Jinxuan's female companion.
Her task tonight was simple: to be a perfect vase, using her lucky charm aura to ensure that Feng Jinxuan wouldn't trip over the flat ground or get hit by a falling chandelier during the banquet.
Halfway through the banquet, Assistant Wang, as planned, went on stage and announced a "surprise segment"—Feng's Group would collaborate with a top international AI lab to demonstrate the latest holographic interactive technology live.
This gimmick instantly attracted the attention of all the guests.
Even the wealthy ladies who weren't interested in technology gathered around out of curiosity.
Taking advantage of the commotion and the fact that all the security personnel's attention was drawn to the main venue, two dark figures silently slipped out through an employee passage in the side hall of the banquet.
...
Ten minutes later, outside the old Feng family residence, the detached villa where Feng Jinhong lived.
The night was as dark as ink, the moon was hidden and the stars were few.
All around was silent except for the rustling of the wind through the leaves, like the whispers of ghosts.
Two dark figures nimbly vaulted over the two-meter-high wall and landed silently on the soft lawn.
It was Feng Jinxuan and Yu Jinli who had slipped out of the banquet.
Both of them changed into black, tight-fitting sportswear that allowed for easy movement.
Looking at her own outfit and then at the man beside her who looked like he was shooting a fashion editorial even in sportswear, Yu Jinli couldn't help but think to herself: This isn't a nighttime infiltration of an enemy camp; it's clearly a pair of thieves stealing in the dead of night.
I feel like police cars with sirens blaring are about to descend from the sky any second now.
"Is Assistant Wang ready?" Yu Jinli asked in a low voice through the mini communicator.
"Don't worry." Feng Jinxuan's voice was calm and steady as it came through the earpiece. "He has thirty minutes for 'system maintenance.' Now, the countdown begins."
The two exchanged a glance, then without further hesitation, their movements as swift as cats, using the darkness and the shadows of the buildings to stealthily make their way to the heavily guarded study on the east side of the third floor of the villa.
The security system at the Feng family's old residence is military-grade.
But in front of Assistant Wang, who had backend access, these high-tech infrared and motion capture technologies were completely ineffective.
The two traveled without any obstacles and soon arrived at the garden below the study.
The study windows were tightly closed, and the room was pitch black.
Feng Jinxuan took a small backpack from behind his back, which was filled with various high-tech lock-picking tools that Yu Jinli couldn't understand.
He looked up, glanced at the height and structure of the third-floor window, and then said succinctly to Yu Jinli, "I'll go up first. Wait for my signal."
After saying that, he moved up the wall silently, like a gecko, using the tiny protrusions and climbing plants on the wall.
His movements were fluid, agile, and full of power, a stark contrast to the sickly CEO who was usually so weak he might trip and fall while walking.
Yu Jinli watched from below, utterly amazed.
She then remembered that her idol, Chase, who had stopped climbing for many years, was also best known for this kind of extreme climbing.
He's really... kind of handsome.
She was lost in her infatuation when suddenly Feng Jinxuan's low, slightly hurried voice came through her earphones.
"The situation has changed. Stay where you are and don't move!"
Yu Jinli's heart jumped into her throat instantly.
She suddenly looked up.
Just moments ago, the study on the third floor, which had been completely dark, suddenly lit up without warning.
A warm, orange light shone through the gaps in the heavy curtains.
Like the eyes of a demon that suddenly open in the darkness.
Feng Jinhong… He’s home?!
He didn't even attend the banquet!
Yu Jinli felt as if her blood was about to freeze.
This isn't a diversionary tactic; it's clearly walking into a trap!
She looked around nervously, searching for a place to hide.
But this garden, for the sake of aesthetics, is trimmed so neatly that there isn't even a single large tree that could hide a person.
They are now like actors exposed to the spotlight, and could be discovered at any moment.
She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but Feng Jinxuan's calm voice came through her earphones again.
"Don't panic. Observe the changes in the lights."
Yu Jinli forced herself to calm down, looked up, and stared intently at the window that was letting in light.
The lights were stable, without moving or any shadows flickering.
Moreover, the light only illuminated the study. The other rooms in the villa remained deathly dark.
This is not normal.
If Feng Jinhong were home, he wouldn't just have one lamp on in his study.
"It's a timer light."
Feng Jinxuan's voice coincided with her thoughts.
"A security measure. It creates the illusion that the homeowner is at home to mislead thieves."
Yu Jinli breathed a long sigh of relief.
That was terrifying.
She felt that the excitement she experienced in those few short minutes was more than all of the previous twenty-three years combined.
"I'm going in," Feng Jinxuan's voice came again. "Keep a watchful eye. If anything seems amiss, retreat immediately."
"clear."
A few more minutes passed.
The study window was quietly pushed open a crack from the inside.
A black rope hung down from the gap.
Yu Jinli knew this was a signal to her.
Without further hesitation, she gripped the rope tightly and, imitating the agents in the video, clumsily but resolutely climbed upwards, using both hands and feet.
