"Hmph, at least she has some brains," Jiang Sushuang sneered. "But don't let your guard down. Keep a close eye on her these next few days and make sure she doesn't cause any more trouble. Once she's on the train, we can rest easy!"
For the next two days, Su Tang perfectly played the role of a delicate young lady immersed in grief.
She said she was feeling unwell and needed to rest, so she spent most of her time in her room.
The door was kept tightly closed to lower Jiang Sushuang and her daughter's guard and to gain precious time alone together.
Su Tang was also busy preparing for the operation.
She retrieved several probes of varying thicknesses and a delicate scalpel blade from the medical laboratory in the space.
With slight modifications, it becomes a simple yet efficient lock-picking tool.
She also specially concocted some colorless and odorless potent sleeping powder, using raw materials found in the space pharmacy. The effect was a hundred times stronger than the sleeping pills on the market, capable of quickly putting people to sleep and leaving them with no memory of what happened afterward.
Su Tang observed that the Jiang mother and daughter were very cautious. They always took turns monitoring her and even slept at different times.
However, Jiang Sushuang would go out for three hours in the evening, which presented an opportunity.
At 4:30 pm, Jiang Sushuang began to dress up carefully again.
Before long, Jiang Sushuang swayed her hips, humming a little tune, and happily went out the door.
Su Tang timed it perfectly and added powdered potent sedative to Jiang Xinyue's water glass.
Jiang Xinyue, caught off guard, gulped down the water in one go, smacking her lips and saying that the water was especially sweet today.
In less than five minutes, Jiang Xinyue yawned, her eyelids heavy, and she fell asleep on the bed, fast asleep and unmoving.
Su Tang checked her breathing to confirm the drug was working, then sneered:
Sleep well, my dear sister.
Confirming that Jiang Sushuang had left and that Jiang Xinyue would not wake up anytime soon, Su Tang immediately took action!
Today, in the secret passage of her father's study, she intends to quietly take everything that belongs to her.
To avoid alerting the enemy and affecting her subsequent plans, she did not search the room of the Jiang mother and daughter.
When the time is right, she will squeeze every last drop out of the Jiang mother and daughter.
She neatly tied up her long hair, took off her dress and changed into clothes that allowed her to move around easily, instantly transforming herself from a sickly young lady into a sharp and capable night stalker.
She crept silently to the outside of the second-floor study like a cat.
As expected, Jiang Sushuang had locked the study door from the outside with a large brass padlock, clearly to keep her away from thieves.
A broken lock, trying to stop me.
She took out a long, thin metal probe and a piece of steel as thin as a cicada's wing that she had prepared beforehand from her pocket.
Su Tang focused her mind, pressed her ear against the door, and listened carefully to the sounds inside, confirming that no one was there.
Then, she gently inserted the thin probe into the keyhole, turned it slightly, and felt the internal pin tumbler structure of the lock cylinder.
This lock is an old-fashioned pin tumbler lock, not particularly complex in structure, and a piece of cake for an agent like Su Tang.
Her fingers were nimble and steady as she deftly moved the probe inside the lock cylinder.
"Click...click..." A faint metallic scraping sound rang out.
Suddenly, a soft "click" sounded!
The lock is open!
Su Tangxin gently turned the doorknob and pushed the door open a crack.
The moment the door opened a crack, a strong, aggressive scent of men's cologne wafted out of the study!
This taste...isn't right.
It wasn't the light sandalwood scent that her father, Su Henian, usually used.
