Chapter 31 Quickly Transmigrated! Going Bankrupt Overnight and Becoming the Young Master’s Bodyguard (34)
"Destroy evidence?" I sneered and raised my phone. "I just want to retrieve some videos to prove my innocence. But Director Liu, you are so eager to stop me. Do you have something to hide?"
Director Liu's face changed, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and snorted coldly: "Sweet words! Come, arrest him for me!"
The bodyguard behind me immediately approached me. I quickly hung up the phone and put the phone in my pocket. Now was not the time to explain, I had to get out of here first.
I looked around. The control room was not big. Apart from a few rows of servers and consoles, there was nowhere to hide. A head-on attack would not work. I had to outsmart them.
My eyes fell on the main console. The password that Detective Wu hadn't finished talking about just now... Wait! Password! I suddenly remembered that Detective Wu had mentioned before that the Shen family's surveillance system was the latest model with multiple encryption mechanisms. Even if you knew the password, you still needed to verify your identity.
That is to say, even if Director Liu caught me, he would not be able to easily obtain the surveillance video. And I might be able to take advantage of this...
A bold idea came to my mind. I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down. Now, I have to race against time!
I pretended to be in a panic and retreated, avoiding the bodyguards' capture while quickly operating the main console. My fingers flew on the keyboard, and lines of code flashed on the screen.
"What is he doing?" Director Liu noticed my action and asked with a gloomy face.
"It seems like they are...cracking the code!" a bodyguard exclaimed.
Director Liu's face changed drastically: "Stop him!"
However, it was too late. After some effort, I successfully bypassed the password verification and entered the system backend. I smiled confidently. It worked!
The interface behind the system was more complicated than I had imagined, with all kinds of data and codes densely arranged. I quickly browsed through it and found what I wanted - the surveillance video of the basement!
Just as I was about to retrieve the video, a bodyguard rushed in front of me and reached out to grab me. I dodged his attack and then kicked him in the stomach, knocking him to the ground.
Other bodyguards also rushed forward, and I flexibly moved between them, using the narrow space and equipment in the monitoring room as cover to deal with them.
"Don't let him run away!" Director Liu roared angrily.
I continued to operate the system while dodging their attacks. Time was running out, and I had to find the key evidence as soon as possible!
Finally, I found the video. In the video, a man in black sneaked into the basement...
"Found it!" I was delighted and was about to copy the video when I suddenly felt a strong wind coming from behind.
I turned my head suddenly and saw a bodyguard holding up the electric baton in his hand and hitting me hard... I quickly turned sideways, and the electric baton brushed my shoulder and fell down, with a "sizzle" sound, sparks flew everywhere. Oh no! I quickly stepped back, but bumped into a row of servers, lost my balance, and was about to fall... I was quick-witted and grabbed a hanging cable to stabilize my body. Damn it! I looked up at the approaching bodyguard and thought to myself. Now, what should I do... My eyes fell on a red button in the corner of the wall, and a thought flashed through my mind... "Wait!" I suddenly shouted.
The electric baton brushed my shoulder and fell, sparks flew everywhere, and a feeling of numbness instantly spread throughout my body. I gritted my teeth, endured the pain, and pressed my body against the cold server, my heart beating wildly.
"Don't let him run away!" Director Liu's roar echoed in the control room like a death warrant.
I took a deep breath and quickly scanned the surroundings. The control room was small and had many devices. This was both my disadvantage and advantage. I had to make good use of every inch of space and every piece of equipment here.
I grabbed the hanging cable and swung towards the server on the other side like a swing. Several bodyguards missed and collided with each other, making a dull sound. I took the opportunity to land and rolled under the operating table, avoiding a stun gun.
"Damn it!" a bodyguard cursed and bent over to try to pull me out.
I was prepared. The moment he leaned forward, I raised my leg and kicked him hard in the face. He screamed and fell backward, knocking over the monitor behind him. The screen flickered a few times and then went out.
"Waste!" Director Liu roared, "Come together and catch him!"
I crawled out from under the console, grabbed a chair, and blocked the oncoming attack. The chair broke into pieces in an instant, but I also bought precious time. I ran quickly around the server, like a nimble cheetah, moving freely in the narrow space.
I had noticed some spare cables and tools piled up in the corner of the control room. While I was hiding from the bodyguards, I wound these cables around the servers to form simple noose.
Several bodyguards were caught off guard and fell to the ground, groaning in pain. Director Liu's face became more and more ugly. He pointed at me and said with gritted teeth: "Feng Ziang, do you think you can escape?"
I sneered and ignored him, continuing to operate the console. The surveillance video was playing, and the image of the man in black sneaking into the basement was clearly visible. My heart was in my throat, success or failure depended on this one move!
However, just when I thought everything was about to be revealed, the screen suddenly froze. Then, a line of words appeared on the screen: File is damaged.
My mood instantly hit rock bottom. How could this happen? Was all my effort in vain?
No, there must be a way! I forced myself to calm down and carefully observed the information on the screen. Suddenly, I noticed that under the words "File is damaged", there was another line of small words: Backup file has been saved.
Back up the files! A glimmer of hope flashed through my eyes. It seemed that although the other party deleted the video, they did not completely destroy the evidence.
I took a deep breath and began to search for the location of the backup file. However, Director Liu's bodyguards were approaching again. I had to find the backup file as soon as possible, otherwise all my efforts would be wasted...
My fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard, and lines of code flashed on the screen. Finally, I found the storage path of the backup file. Just as I was about to copy the file, a hand suddenly grabbed my shoulder...
"Don't move!" A cold voice rang in my ears.
The cold muzzle of the gun was pressed against the back of my head, and Director Liu's cold voice rang in my ears: "Don't waste your energy, Feng Ziang, you won't find it."
My body was frozen, my hands resting on the keyboard, my fingertips trembling slightly. The backup file was within reach, yet it seemed so far away.
"Do you think I would leave such an obvious flaw?" Director Liu laughed smugly, "I had someone delete all the backups a long time ago. What you saw was just a bait."
