Even after arriving in Hong Kong, Xing Baohua kept a close eye on the situation at Nikon's database.
They also obtained more details about the internal turmoil at Nikon from Kawaguchi and Noi Misaki.
Xing Baohua urged Geng Rui to act quickly so they could take advantage of the chaos. Once Nikon's internal organization was united, it would be detrimental to Lao Zhang and Lao Wang's actions.
After finding the hidden elevator, Old Zhang abandoned his plan to look for the ventilation shaft. Why not use such a convenient tool?
The risk level has increased slightly, mainly because there's a section chief in the office overseeing things, and there are also many surveillance facilities.
After seeing the floor plan and simple plan that Geng Rui sent him, Xing Baohua told Geng Rui to tell Xiao Tian to hack into the system and take care of the surveillance equipment. As for that supervisor who sits in the office all day and never leaves the house...
That's easy. When he comes home, we can break his legs and give him a long break.
The execution plan was quickly devised, incorporating all conceivable contingencies.
Old Zhang also created a small problem for himself. In the beginning, when they asked him to dig a hole to find the conduit, it was because Old Wang and Old Zhang deliberately damaged some of the wiring equipment to fake an underground wiring malfunction in order to find the ventilation opening.
The small excavator is too slow. It's only a small area, and if it digs little by little, it will probably take more than a week to dig.
Old Wang helped out while he was working the night shift. He took a shovel and dug down about 30 centimeters to find the conduit near the wall. He then used a hammer to break the outer sheath, connected the wires, and used a knife to scrape the outer sheath of the wires.
Then he went out for a walk and somehow got two mice, threw them into the hole, and then filled the hole back with soil.
The mouse, the damaged wire—perfectly shifting the blame onto the mouse, more than enough to fool that chubby little guy.
If there were someone skilled in solving cases present, they would definitely be able to tell that the scene was staged.
We had no choice but to do this in order to make time for Lao Zhang.
That afternoon, they dug up that spot. Old Zhang was also there. When he saw the excavator dumping soil, he pointed out something. He and others dug around in the soil with shovels for a while.
They found the two rats, then checked the conduit and sure enough, there were cracks. They called Little Fatty to come up and check the scene, and that was it.
The 50mm PVC pipe got gnawed by rats, and as for that cable, only that chubby guy was easy to fool.
After that, Lao Zhang quickly repaired the line. His job only took three minutes: he cut a section of the damaged pipe, wrapped it with tape, put on a slightly larger pipe, and then let the excavator backfill the hole.
A small plan riddled with flaws went unnoticed. A few people in the engineering department were chatting idly, and Old Zhang deliberately eavesdropped; it was all about Nikon.
Well, this time we're lucky. Everyone's attention is drawn to the chaotic company, making it quite comfortable to fish in troubled waters.
The section chief took more than a month of sick leave, leaving all the tasks in the data section to Xiao Pang.
But this guy often doesn't go to the underground data department; instead, he goes up to the upper floors.
After discussing the timing of the operation, Lao Zhang and Lao Wang notified Geng Rui and the other partners to cooperate.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Xiao Tian hacked into the system and was now waiting for Lao Wang to connect the video recorder's system output cable to the server's video cable.
This allows him to switch and control the video recorder system.
When Xiao Tian saw the image of channel 16 on his computer, according to the pre-arranged plan, starting with Lao Zhang entering the elevator and going to the first data room, he was responsible for deleting that segment of the video.
At that time, there was no direct editing software, so being able to delete these was already quite an achievement.
The entire operation was basically conducted using high-tech methods.
The wireless earphones worn by Lao Wang and Lao Zhang are based on 2.4G wireless technology developed by Xing Baohua in his early days.
Remote communication couldn't go directly to the sixth basement level; bridging equipment was necessary. Xiaotian would transmit the audio to them via network cable. The first device was a bridging converter that connected the line to the server. Audio transmission was controlled by hacking into the server, and there was a repeater in each corridor.
It's placed inside the light fixture in the hallway. This thing uses very little electricity; it's powered by five button batteries and can theoretically last for more than a month.
The operation began with Lao Zhang and Lao Wang starting with the first database, one shining a light while the other searched for information according to the list in the catalog.
Geng Rui noticed from Xiao Tian's monitor that the two were searching rather slowly. She picked up her notebook, found the search slip, and began reading out the number, indicating which cabinet it was in and which shelf it was on.
This increased speed and saved time.
After collecting all the materials from Archive Room No. 1, Old Zhang took out his digital camera and started taking pictures.
After shooting for more than an hour, Xiao Tian asked Lao Zhang to remove the hard drive and hand it to Lao Wang to go to the server and connect the hard drive. He wanted to see the effect of the digital camera, especially the printed effect.
A dozen minutes later, Geng Rui carefully examined the printed materials. The font was legible, and the quality was acceptable.
This is the limit of digital cameras, capable of meeting even the lowest printing quality. Xing Baohua was secretly delighted to know this technology.
After that, they continued taking photos. The two of them worked for more than four hours every night. They couldn't work too much, otherwise the effects of the drug on the guys in the basement would wear off.
In order to complete the task effectively, Lao Wang put something in the water beforehand. As long as the night shift staff drank the water, they would definitely be so sleepy that they would lie down and take a nap.
After finishing his work, Lao Wang also went to sleep. He was really tired, and when someone woke him up, he looked completely dazed.
Everyone knew they were asleep, but no one said anything. The supervisor wasn't around, and if word got out, wouldn't they get their pay docked?
