In the monitoring room of the office building.
The person in charge of monitoring was dozing off, his heavy head nodding repeatedly, accompanied by the sight of him drooling.
Suddenly the scene changed abruptly. The surveillance camera view on the screen turned into static, emitting a noisy low-frequency sound.
The working class is still asleep.
*
In the office building's stairwell, a tall, slender figure was climbing the stairs. He was wearing a short black down jacket, a baseball cap, and a black face mask. His legs were long, and he took two steps at a time.
*
The hypnosis room was very quiet.
Huang Lufei had a faint smile on his lips as he looked at the girl on the soft couch. His world-weary face no longer seemed so world-weary, and her breathing was even and peaceful.
God knows if she's been hypnotized or not, because she always sleeps so soundly.
Then he heard someone calling, "Dr. Huang? Dr. Huang?"
Miss Zhao barged into the hypnosis room.
Huang Lufei knew Zhao Jiening. Not to mention that she was the apple of his long-time client's eye, Zhao Jiening herself was also very recognizable.
Huang Lufei stood up, walked to the door, made a "shh" gesture, and stopped Zhao Jiening. "Miss Zhao, stop, I'm..."
Zhao Jiening interrupted him, her voice icy, "You know me? That's great, Dr. Huang. My mother suddenly had a mental breakdown and is acting like a madwoman. My family tried calling you, but your phone was off. I happened to be nearby on business, and my father called and told me to take you away immediately."
She was very anxious and grabbed Huang Lufei's wrist.
“Miss Zhao, I have a client…” Huang Lufei casually pointed at Xue Qiandai. “Please wait for me for half an hour, and we’ll go together after I’m done.”
Zhao Jiening abruptly shook him off, her anger blazing in her eyes. "Dr. Huang, is your client more important than my mother? You need to understand who your bread and butter is. Whatever happens to my mother, your mental health clinic... Hmph, just wait until the weather gets cold before it goes bankrupt."
Huang Lufei stared intently at Zhao Jiening. This legendary Miss Zhao, who kept calling her "mother," wasn't she supposed to be her stepmother? When did their relationship become so good? And in the past, it was always Mr. Zhao himself or the housekeeper who directly intervened. "Miss Zhao, please tell me about the situation. I have a contingency plan."
He turned and went back to the consultation room, intending to tidy up.
Zhao Jiening rolled her eyes, then grabbed Huang Lufei again, inwardly screaming a hundred times that Ru Feng had to make amends to her; the sacrifice was too great. "We'll talk on the way. Just bring your brain and your expertise."
She used all her strength to pull the person past the front desk and straight to the elevator.
Huang Lufei reminded them, "Please look after the customers inside."

As soon as Dr. Huang left, the receptionist was about to shout "Yay!"
Rong Xiao immediately raised his hand high, beaming, "Ladies, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll treat you to milk tea and review the hottest items. Let's go downstairs!"
One of the staff members looked worried. "Handsome guy, this won't do. What will happen to the clinic if we all leave? What if the customer wakes up?"
Rong Xiao winked at her, his incredibly beautiful eyes filled with affection. "Either you stay here, and a few of us will go and bring it back for you."
The female employee was clearly unhappy about missing out on time with the handsome man. She hesitated and remained silent.
Rong Xiao understood the girl's complicated thoughts. "Little cutie, don't be sad. I was just teasing you. I actually ordered Huotuan takeout. It should be here soon. Let's go pick it up together. It'll be up in no time."
The girls were delighted and left the clinic hand in hand, locking the door automatically as they closed it.
When the elevator arrived, I rushed in.
Rong Xiao suddenly patted his pocket, "Oh no, I left my phone in there. Let me get it. Did you guys bring your SIM cards?"
The receptionist handed me a card.
Through his previous visits, Rong Xiao had figured out that the clinic's door could be accessed by fingerprint or card.
However, the receptionist hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll go with you."
Rong Xiao suddenly snatched her card, touched her fingertip, and gave her a loving, captivating look. "Wait for me, thirty seconds. Press the elevator button."
The receptionist was completely charmed.
Just as Rong Xiao returned to the clinic, a man wearing a black down jacket walked out of the stairwell—Huo Yunchao.
Rong Xiao swiped his card, and Huo Yunchao entered directly, making an OK sign before heading straight for the hypnosis room.
Xue Qiandai had already gotten up; the all-in-one computer was already powered on, but it required a password. She then rummaged through drawers and cabinets, finally finding the laptop under the bookshelf. "Great, I finally found it!"
"Dai Dai?" Huo Yunchao pulled down his mask, revealing his sharply defined face.
Xue Qiandai placed the notebook on the table and opened it. "You don't have much time left. It's up to you now, beauty."
Huo Yunchao sat down at the table, his fingers as smooth as jade, and stared intently at the screen.
There was indeed a password.
Huang Lufei's personal information flashed through my mind.
Huang Lufei was born on July 23, 1975, and his ancestral home is Yuyao.
She studied psychology at the University of Michigan.
In 2004, he married his current wife, and the couple are very loving. Two years after their marriage, they had a daughter.
Huang Lufei enjoys Hong Kong films and TV dramas and classic songs. His favorite songs are "Shanghai Bund" and "A Man Should Be Self-reliant," and his favorite movie is "Infernal Affairs III: End of Infernal Affairs."
"Let's try my wife's birthdate first," Huo Yunchao muttered to himself, entering a string of numbers, but it showed no correct answer.
“It’s for my daughter,” Xue Qiandai said.
The result was still wrong.
"Is there any other way?" Xue Qiandai asked anxiously, a thin layer of sweat appearing on her forehead.
“Entering the correct password will save the most time; breaking through the system will take more time,” Huo Yunchao replied calmly.
He clenched his fingers, recalling a scene from a movie.
In *Infernal Affairs*, Lau Kin-ming, an informant, approaches a psychiatrist in an attempt to obtain Chen Wing-yan's counseling data hidden on the doctor's computer. The psychiatrist, playing along, even claims, "It's not such a coincidence that you know my password is my license plate number, is it?"
Huo Yunchao pinched his fingers and entered Huang Lufei's license plate number.
The laptop opened magically.
